Deuteronomy 23

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

1 «لَا يَدْخُلْ مَخْصِيٌّ بِٱلرَّضِّ أَوْ مَجْبُوبٌ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

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 ٱبْنُ زِنًى فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. حَتَّى ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ لَا يَدْخُلْ مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

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 وَلَا مُوآبِيٌّ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. حَتَّى ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ لَا يَدْخُلْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ،

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 مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُلَاقُوكُمْ بِٱلْخُبْزِ وَٱلْمَاءِ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَلِأَنَّهُمُ ٱسْتَأْجَرُوا عَلَيْكَ بَلْعَامَ بْنَ بَعُورَ مِنْ فَتُورِ أَرَامِ ٱلنَّهْرَيْنِ لِكَيْ يَلْعَنَكَ.

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 وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَشَإِ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ أَنْ يَسْمَعَ لِبَلْعَامَ، فَحَوَّلَ لِأَجْلِكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ ٱللَّعْنَةَ إِلَى بَرَكَةٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ قَدْ أَحَبَّكَ.

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

6 لَا تَلْتَمِسْ سَلَامَهُمْ وَلَا خَيْرَهُمْ كُلَّ أَيَّامِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

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 تَكْرَهْ أَدُومِيًّا لِأَنَّهُ أَخُوكَ. لَا تَكْرَهْ مِصْرِيًّا لِأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ نَزِيلًا فِي أَرْضِهِ.

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

8 ٱلْأَوْلَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُولَدُونَ لَهُمْ فِي ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلثَّالِثِ يَدْخُلُونَ مِنْهُمْ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

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

9 «إِذَا خَرَجْتَ فِي جَيْشٍ عَلَى أَعْدَائِكَ فَٱحْتَرِزْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ رَدِيءٍ.

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

10 إِنْ كَانَ فِيكَ رَجُلٌ غَيْرَ طَاهِرٍ مِنْ عَارِضِ ٱللَّيْلِ، يَخْرُجُ إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. لَا يَدْخُلْ إِلَى دَاخِلِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ.

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

11 وَنَحْوَ إِقْبَالِ ٱلْمَسَاءِ يَغْتَسِلُ بِمَاءٍ، وَعِنْدَ غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ يَدْخُلُ إِلَى دَاخِلِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ.

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

12 وَيَكُونُ لَكَ مَوْضِعٌ خَارِجَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ لِتَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِ خَارِجًا.

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 وَيَكُونُ لَكَ وَتَدٌ مَعَ عُدَّتِكَ لِتَحْفِرَ بِهِ عِنْدَمَا تَجْلِسُ خَارِجًا وَتَرْجِعُ وَتُغَطِّي بِرَازَكَ.

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 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ سَائِرٌ فِي وَسَطِ مَحَلَّتِكَ، لِكَيْ يُنْقِذَكَ وَيَدْفَعَ أَعْدَاءَكَ أَمَامَكَ. فَلْتَكُنْ مَحَلَّتُكَ مُقَدَّسَةً، لِئَلَّا يَرَى فِيكَ قَذَرَ شَيْءٍ فَيَرْجِعَ عَنْكَ.

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

15 «عَبْدًا أَبَقَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ مَوْلَاهُ لَا تُسَلِّمْ إِلَى مَوْلَاهُ.

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

16 عِنْدَكَ يُقِيمُ فِي وَسَطِكَ، فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ فِي أَحَدِ أَبْوَابِكَ حَيْثُ يَطِيبُ لَهُ. لَا تَظْلِمْهُ.

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

17 «لَا تَكُنْ زَانِيَةٌ مِنْ بَنَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَا يَكُنْ مَأْبُونٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

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 تُدْخِلْ أُجْرَةَ زَانِيَةٍ وَلَا ثَمَنَ كَلْبٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ عَنْ نَذْرٍ مَّا، لِأَنَّهُمَا كِلَيْهِمَا رِجْسٌ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ.

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

19 «لَا تُقْرِضْ أَخَاكَ بِرِبًا، رِبَا فِضَّةٍ، أَوْ رِبَا طَعَامٍ، أَوْ رِبَا شَيْءٍ مَّا مِمَّا يُقْرَضُ بِرِبًا،

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 لِلْأَجْنَبِيِّ تُقْرِضُ بِرِبًا، وَلَكِنْ لِأَخِيكَ لَا تُقْرِضْ بِرِبًا، لِكَيْ يُبَارِكَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ فِي كُلِّ مَا تَمْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِ يَدُكَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ دَاخِلٌ إِلَيْهَا لِتَمْتَلِكَهَا.

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 نَذَرْتَ نَذْرًا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ فَلَا تُؤَخِّرْ وَفَاءَهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ يَطْلُبُهُ مِنْكَ فَتَكُونُ عَلَيْكَ خَطِيَّةٌ.

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

22 وَلَكِنْ إِذَا ٱمْتَنَعْتَ أَنْ تَنْذُرَ لَا تَكُونُ عَلَيْكَ خَطِيَّةٌ.

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 مَا خَرَجَ مِنْ شَفَتَيْكَ ٱحْفَظْ وَٱعْمَلْ، كَمَا نَذَرْتَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ تَبَرُّعًا، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ 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 صَاحِبِكَ فَكُلْ عِنَبًا حَسَبَ شَهْوَةِ نَفْسِكَ، شَبْعَتَكَ. وَلَكِنْ فِي وِعَائِكَ لَا تَجْعَلْ.

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 زَرْعَ صَاحِبِكَ فَٱقْطِفْ سَنَابِلَ بِيَدِكَ، وَلَكِنْ مِنْجَلًا لَا تَرْفَعْ عَلَى زَرْعِ صَاحِبِكَ.
