Deuteronomy 23

1 No man with crushed or severed genitals may enter the assembly of the LORD.

1 لَا يَدْخُلْ ذُو الْخِصْيَتَيْنِ الْمَرْضُوضَتَيْنِ أَوِ الْمَجْبُوبُ فِي جَمَاعَةِ الرَّبِّ.

2 No one of illegitimate birth may enter the assembly of the LORD, nor may any of his descendants, even to the tenth generation.

2 لَا يَدْخُلِ ابْنُ زِنىً وَلا أَحَدٌ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ حَتَّى الْجِيلِ الْعَاشِرِ فِي جَمَاعَةِ الرَّبِّ.

3 No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even to the tenth generation.

3 لَا يَدْخُلْ عَمُّونِيٌّ وَلا مُوآبِيٌّ فِي جَمَاعَةِ الرَّبِّ، وَلا أَحَدٌ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمْ حَتَّى بَعْدَ الْجِيلِ الْعَاشِرِ فِي جَمَاعَةِ الرَّبِّ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ،

4 For they did not meet you with food and water on your way out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to curse you.

4 لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْتَقْبِلُوكُمْ بِالْخُبْزِ وَالْمَاءِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَلأَنَّهُمُ اسْتَأْجَرُوا بَلْعَامَ بْنَ بَعُورَ مِنْ فَتُورِ أَرَامِ النَّهْرَيْنِ لِيَلْعَنَكُمْ

5 Yet the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam, and the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you.

5 وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ لَمْ يَشَأْ أَنْ يَسْتَجِيبَ لِبَلْعَامَ، بَلْ حَوَّلَ لأَجْلِكُمُ اللَّعْنَةَ إِلَى بَرَكَةٍ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ قَدْ أَحَبَّكُمْ.

6 You are not to seek peace or prosperity from them as long as you live.

6 لَا تَسْعَوْا فِي سَبِيلِ مُسَالَمَتِهِمْ وَخَيْرِهِمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

7 Do not despise an Edomite, for he is your brother. Do not despise an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.

7 لَا تَمْقُتُوا الأَدُومِيِّينَ لأَنَّهُمْ إِخْوَتُكُمْ، وَلا تَكْرَهُوا الْمِصْرِيِّينَ لأَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ ضُيُوفاً فِي دِيَارِهِمْ

8 The third generation of children born to them may enter the assembly of the LORD.

8 وَمَنْ يُوْلَدُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمْ فِي الْجِيلِ الثَّالِثِ يَدْخُلُ فِي جَمَاعَةِ الرَّبِّ.

9 When you are encamped against your enemies, then you shall keep yourself from every wicked thing.

9 إِذَا خَرَجْتُمْ لِمُحَارَبَةِ أَعْدَائِكُمْ فَامْتَنِعُوا عَنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَبِيحٍ

10 If any man among you becomes unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he must leave the camp and stay outside.

10 فَإِنْ كَانَ بَيْنَكُمْ رَجُلٌ غَيْرَ طَاهِرٍ عَلَى أَثَرِ اسْتِحْلامٍ فَلْيَمْضِ إِلَى خَارِجِ الْمُعَسْكَرِ. لَا يَدْخُلُ إِلَيْهِ.

11 When evening approaches, he must wash with water, and when the sun sets he may return to the camp.

11 وَعِنْدَ حُلُولِ الْمَسَاءِ يَسْتَحِمُّ بِمَاءٍ، ثُمَّ يَدْخُلُ إِلَى الْمُعَسْكَرِ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ.

12 You must have a place outside the camp to go and relieve yourself.

12 وَعَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُحَدِّدُوا مَوْضِعاً لِقَضَاءِ الْحَاجَةِ خَارِجَ الْمُعَسْكَرِ.

13 And you must have a digging tool in your equipment so that when you relieve yourself you can dig a hole and cover up your excrement.

13 وَلْيَكُنْ مَعَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ وَتَدٌ بَيْنَ عَتَادِهِ لِيَحْفُرَ بِهِ حُفْرَةً يَقْضِي فِيهَا حَاجَتَهُ، ثُمَّ يُغَطِّي بِرَازَهُ بِالتُّرَابِ،

14 For the LORD your God walks throughout your camp to protect you and deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, lest He see anything unclean among you and turn away from you.

14 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ سَائِرٌ فِي وَسَطِ مُعَسْكَرِكُمْ لِيُنْقِذَكُمْ وَيُظْفِرَكُمْ بِأَعْدَائِكُمْ. فَلْيَكُنْ مُعَسْكَرُكُمْ مُقَدَّساً لِئَلّا يَشْهَدَ فِيهِ أَقْذَاراً فَيَتَحَوَّلَ عَنْكُمْ.

15 Do not return a slave to his master if he has taken refuge with you.

15 إِذَا لَجَأَ إِلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ هَارِبٌ مِنْ مَوْلاهُ، لَا تُسَلِّمُوهُ إِلَى مَوْلاهُ،

16 Let him live among you wherever he chooses, in the town of his pleasing. Do not oppress him.

16 بَلْ يُقِيمُ حَيْثُ يَطِيبُ لَهُ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ فِي إِحْدَى مُدُنِكُمْ وَلا تَظْلِمُوهُ.

17 No daughter or son of Israel is to be a shrine prostitute.

17 لَا يَكُنْ مِنْ بَنَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلا مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ زَانِيَاتٌ وَمَأْبُونُو مَعَابِدَ.

18 You must not bring the wages of a prostitute, whether female or male, into the house of the LORD your God to fulfill any vow, because both are detestable to the LORD your God.

18 لَا تَأْتُوا بِتَقْدِمَةِ نَذْرٍ مَا إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ مِنْ مَكْسَبِ زَانِيَةٍ أَوْ مَأْبُونٍ، لأَنَّ كِلَيْهِمَا رِجْسٌ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.

19 Do not charge your brother interest on money, food, or any other type of loan.

19 لَا تَتَقَاضَوْا فَوَائِدَ عَمَّا تُقْرِضُونَهُ لإِخْوَتِكُمْ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، سَوَاءٌ كَانَتِ الْقُرُوضُ فِضَّةً أَوْ أَطْعِمَةً أَوْ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ آخَرَ.

20 You may charge a foreigner interest, but not your brother, so that the LORD your God may bless you in everything to which you put your hand in the land that you are entering to possess.

20 أَمَّا الأَجْنَبِيُّ فَأَقْرِضُوهُ بِرِباً. إِنَّمَا إِيَّاكُمْ إِقْرَاضَ أَخِيكُمْ بِفَائِدَةٍ، لِيُبَارِكَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ فِي كُلِّ مَا تُنْتِجُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ مَاضُونَ لاِمْتِلاكِهَا.

21 If you make a vow to the LORD your God, do not be slow to keep it, because He will surely require it of you, and you will be guilty of sin.

21 إِذَا نَذَرْتُمْ نَذْراً لِلرَّبِّ فَلا تُمَاطِلُوا فِي الْوَفَاءِ بِهِ، لأَنَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يُطَالِبُكُمْ بِهِ وَيَحْسَبُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْكُمْ ذَنْباً

22 But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty of sin.

22 وَإِنْ لَمْ تَنْذِرُوا لَا تَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ خَطِيئَةٌ.

23 Be careful to follow through on what comes from your lips, because you have freely vowed to the LORD your God with your own mouth.

23 أَمَّا مَا تَعَهَّدَتْ بِهِ شَفَتَاكَ فَذَاكَ احْفَظْهُ وَأَوْفِهِ، كَمَا نَذَرْتَ طَوَاعِيَةً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، وَكَمَا تَعَهَّدَ بِهِ فَمُكَ.

24 When you enter your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat your fill of grapes, but you must not put any in your basket.

24 إِذَا دَخَلْتَ كَرْمَ عِنَبِ جَارِكَ فَكُلْ مِنْهُ بِقَدْرِ مَا تَشْتَهِي نَفْسُكَ حَتَّى الشَّبْعِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تَقْطِفْ مِنْ عِنَبِهِ وَتَضَعْهُ فِي وِعَائِكَ.

25 When you enter your neighbor’s grainfield, you may pluck the heads of grain with your hand, but you must not put a sickle to your neighbor’s grain.

25 إِذَا دَخَلْتَ حَقْلَ قَمْحِ صَاحِبِكَ فَاقْطِفْ مِنْ سَنَابِلِهِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تَحْصُدْ مِنْهُ بِمِنْجَلِكَ.
