Deuteronomy 24

1 If a man marries a woman, but she becomes displeasing to him because he finds some indecency in her, he may write her a certificate of divorce, hand it to her, and send her away from his house.

1 إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ فَتَاةٍ وَلَمْ تَرُقْ لَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ لأَنَّهُ اكْتَشَفَ فِيهَا عَيْباً مَا، وَأَعْطَاهَا كِتَابَ طَلاقٍ وَصَرَفَهَا مِنْ بَيْتِهِ،

2 If, after leaving his house, she goes and becomes another man’s wife,

2 فَتَزَوَّجَتْ مِنْ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَصْبَحَتْ طَلِيقَةً،

3 and the second man hates her, writes her a certificate of divorce, hands it to her, and sends her away from his house, or if he dies,

3 ثُمَّ كَرِهَهَا الزَّوْجُ الثَّانِي وَسَلَّمَهَا كِتَابَ طَلاقٍ وَصَرَفَهَا مِنْ بَيْتِهِ، أَوْ إِذَا مَاتَ هَذَا الزَّوْجُ،

4 then the husband who divorced her first may not remarry her after she has been defiled, for that is an abomination to the LORD. You must not bring sin upon the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.

4 فَإِنَّهُ يُحْظَرُ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا الأَوَّلِ الَّذِي طَلَّقَهَا أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا مَرَّةً أُخْرَى، بَعْدَ أَنْ تَنَجَّسَتْ. لأَنَّ ذَلِكَ رِجْسٌ لَدَى الرَّبِّ. فَلا تَجْلِبُوا خَطِيئَةً عَلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَكُمْ مِيرَاثاً.

5 If a man is newly married, he must not be sent to war or be pressed into any duty. For one year he is free to stay at home and bring joy to the wife he has married.

5 إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ رَجُلٌ حَدِيثاً يُعْفَى مِنَ الْجُنْدِيَّةِ وَالْمَسْؤُولِيَّاتِ الْعَسْكَرِيَّةِ لِمُدَّةِ سَنَةٍ، يَقْضِيهَا حُرّاً فِي بَيْتِهِ لِيُسْعِدَ زَوْجَتَهُ وَيَسُرَّهَا.

6 Do not take a pair of millstones or even an upper millstone as security for a debt, because that would be taking one’s livelihood as security.

6 لَا يَسْتَرْهِنْ أَحَدٌ رَحىً أَوْ أَحَدَ حَجَرَيْهَا، لأَنَّهُ يَسْتَرْهِنُ مَصْدَرَ الرِّزْقِ.

7 If a man is caught kidnapping one of his Israelite brothers, whether he treats him as a slave or sells him, the kidnapper must die. So you must purge the evil from among you.

7 إِذَا خَطَفَ رَجُلٌ أَحَداً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِخْوَتِهِ وَاسْتَعْبَدَهُ وَبَاعَهُ، يَمُوتُ الْخَاطِفُ. فَتَجْتَثُّونَ الشَّرَّ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ.

8 In cases of infectious skin diseases, be careful to diligently follow everything the Levitical priests instruct you. Be careful to do as I have commanded them.

8 احْرِصُوا عَلَى طَاعَةِ تَعْلِيمَاتِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ فِي حَالَةِ الإِصَابَةِ بِالْبَرَصِ، وَنَفِّذُوا بِدِقَّةٍ مَا أَمَرْتُهُمْ بِهِ.

9 Remember what the LORD your God did to Miriam on the journey after you came out of Egypt.

9 اذْكُرُوا مَا عَاقَبَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ بِهِ مَرْيَمَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ لَدَى خُرُوجِكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ.

10 When you lend anything to your neighbor, do not enter his house to collect security.

10 إِذَا أَقْرَضْتَ جَارَكَ قَرْضاً فَلا تَدْخُلْ بَيْتَهُ لِتَسْتَرْهِنَ مِنْهُ شَيْئاً،

11 You are to stand outside while the man to whom you are lending brings the security out to you.

11 بَلْ تَمْكُثُ خَارِجاً، فَيَأْتِي الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي تُقْرِضُهُ بِالرَّهْنِ إِلَيْكَ حَيْثُ تَقِفُ.

12 If he is a poor man, you must not go to sleep with the security in your possession;

12 وَإِنْ كَانَ الْمُقْتَرِضُ فَقِيراً فَلا يَبِتْ رَهْنُهُ عِنْدَكَ،

13 be sure to return it to him by sunset, so that he may sleep in his own cloak and bless you, and this will be credited to you as righteousness before the LORD your God.

13 بَلْ رُدَّهُ إِلَيْهِ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ لِيَنَامَ فِي ثَوْبِهِ وَيُبَارِكَكَ، فَيَحْسِبَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ ذَلِكَ لَكَ بِرّاً.

14 Do not oppress a hired hand who is poor and needy, whether he is a brother or a foreigner residing in one of your towns.

14 لَا تَظْلِمْ أَجِيراً وَفَقِيراً، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَوْ مِنَ الْغُرَبَاءِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي مَدِينَتِكَ.

15 You are to pay his wages each day before sunset, because he is poor and depends on them. Otherwise he may cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.

15 ادْفَعْ لَهُ أُجْرَتَهُ فِي يَوْمِهِ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ لأَنَّهُ فَقِيرٌ، أَجْهَدَ نَفْسَهُ لِلْحُصُولِ عَلَيْهَا. وَإلَّا تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ بِالشَّكْوَى ضِدَّكَ، فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ عَلَيْكَ خَطِيئَةً.

16 Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.

16 لَا يُقْتَلُ الآبَاءُ عِوَضاً عَنِ الأَبْنَاءِ، وَلا يُقْتَلُ الأَبْنَاءُ بَدَلاً مِنَ الآبَاءِ، فَكُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ يَتَحَمَّلُ وِزْرَ نَفْسِهِ.

17 Do not deny justice to the foreigner or the fatherless, and do not take a widow’s cloak as security.

17 لَا تُحَرِّفُوا حُكْمَ الْعَدَالَةِ فَتَظْلِمُوا الْغَرِيبَ وَالْيَتِيمَ، وَلا تَسْتَرْهِنُوا ثَوْبَ الأَرْمَلَةِ،

18 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you from that place. Therefore I am commanding you to do this.

18 وَاذْكُرُوا أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ عَبِيداً فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ فَأَنْقَذَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. لِهَذَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِالْعَدْلِ.

19 If you are harvesting in your field and forget a sheaf there, do not go back to get it. It is to be left for the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

19 إِذَا حَصَدْتُمْ غَلّاتِكُمْ وَنَسِيْتُمْ حُزْمَةً فِي الْحَقْلِ فَلا تَرْجِعُوا لأَخْذِهَا، بَلِ اتْرُكُوهَا لِلْغَرِيبِ وَالْيَتِيمِ وَالأَرْمَلَةِ، لِيُبَارِكَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ فِي كُلِّ مَا تَعْمَلُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ.

20 When you beat the olives from your trees, you must not go over the branches again. What remains will be for the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow.

20 إِذَا هَزَزْتُمْ أَشْجَارَ زَيْتُونِكُمْ لإِسْقَاطِ ثِمَارِهَا، فَلا تَلْتَقِطُوا مَا بَقِيَ فِي الأَغْصَانِ مِنْهَا، بَلِ اتْرُكُوهَا وَرَاءَكُمْ لِلْغَرِيبِ وَالْيَتِيمِ وَالأَرْمَلَةِ.

21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you must not go over the vines again. What remains will be for the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow.

21 إِذَا قَطَفْتُمْ كُرُومَكُمْ فَلا تُعَاوِدُوا قَطْفَ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عَنَاقِيدَ وَرَاءَكُمْ، بَلِ اتْرُكُوهَا لِلْغَرِيبِ وَالْيَتِيمِ وَالأَرْمَلَةِ.

22 Remember that you were slaves in the land of Egypt. Therefore I am commanding you to do this.

22 وَاذْكُرُوا أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ عَبِيداً فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ. مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا أُوصِيكُمْ أَنْ تُنَفِّذُوا هَذَا الأَمْرَ.
