Leviticus 18

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

1 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: I am the LORD your God.

2 «أَوْصِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ

3 You must not follow the practices of the land of Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not follow the practices of the land of Canaan, into which I am bringing you. You must not walk in their customs.

3 لَا تَرْتَكِبُوا أَعْمَالَ أَهْلِ مِصْرَ الَّتِي أَقَمْتُمْ فِيهَا، وَلا تَعْمَلُوا صَنِيعَ أَهْلِ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ الَّتِي أَنَا مُدْخِلُكُمْ إِلَيْهَا، وَلا تُمَارِسُوا فَرَائِضَهُمْ،

4 You are to practice My judgments and keep My statutes by walking in them. I am the LORD your God.

4 إِنَّمَا تُطَبِّقُونَ أَحْكَامِي وَتَحْفَظُونَ فَرَائِضِي لِتَسْلُكُوا فِيهَا. أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

5 Keep My statutes and My judgments, for the man who does these things will live by them. I am the LORD.

5 احْفَظُوا فَرَائِضِي وَأَحْكَامِي الَّتِي إِذَا أَطَاعَهَا الإِنْسَانُ يَحْيَا بِها. أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

6 None of you are to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD.

6 لَا يُقَارِبْ إِنْسَانٌ جَسَدَ مَنْ هُوَ مِنْ لَحْمِهِ وَدَمِهِ لِيُعَاشِرَهُ. أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

7 You must not expose the nakedness of your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; you must not have sexual relations with her.

7 لَا تَتَزَوَّجْ فَتَاةٌ أَبَاهَا، وَلا ابْنٌ أُمَّهُ إِنَّهَا أُمُّكَ فَلا تَكْشِفْ عَوْرَتَهَا

8 You must not have sexual relations with your father’s wife; it would dishonor your father.

8 لَا تَتَزَوَّجْ امْرَأَةَ أَبِيكَ لأَنَّهَا زَوْجَةُ أَبِيكَ.

9 You must not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere.

9 لَا تَتَزَوَّجْ أُخْتَكَ بِنْتَ أَبِيكَ، أَوْ بِنْتَ أُمِّكَ، سَوَاءٌ وُلِدَتْ فِي الْبَيْتِ أَمْ بَعِيداً عَنْهُ، وَلا تَكْشِفْ عَوْرَتَهَا.

10 You must not have sexual relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, for that would shame your family.

10 لَا تَتَزَوَّجِ ابْنَةَ ابْنِكَ أَوِ ابْنَةَ ابْنَتِكَ، وَلا تَكْشِفْ عَوْرَتَهَا لأَنَّهَا عَوْرَتُكَ.

11 You must not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father’s wife, born to your father; she is your sister.

11 لَا تَتَزَوَّجْ بِنْتَ امْرَأَةِ أَبِيكَ الْمَوْلُودَةَ مِنْ أَبِيكَ، وَلا تَكْشِفْ عَوْرَتَهَا لأَنَّهَا أُخْتُكَ.

12 You must not have sexual relations with your father’s sister; she is your father’s close relative.

12 لَا تَتَزَوَّجْ أُخْتَ أَبِيكَ. إِنَّهَا عَمَّتُكَ.

13 You must not have sexual relations with your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s close relative.

13 لَا تَتَزَوَّجْ أُخْتَ أُمِّكَ. إِنَّهَا خَالَتُكَ.

14 You must not dishonor your father’s brother by approaching his wife to have sexual relations with her; she is your aunt.

14 لَا تَتَزَوَّجْ فَتَاةٌ عَمَّهَا، وَلا تُعَاشِرْ زَوْجَةَ عَمِّكَ. إِنَّهَا عَمَّتُكَ.

15 You must not have sexual relations with your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife; you are not to have sexual relations with her.

15 لَا تَتَزَوَّجْ كَنَّتَكَ، فَإِنَّهَا امْرَأَةُ ابْنِكَ، وَلا تَكْشِفْ عَوْرَتَهَا.

16 You must not have sexual relations with your brother’s wife; that would shame your brother.

16 لَا تَتَزَوَّجِ امْرَأَةَ أَخِيكَ، فَإِنَّهَا عَوْرَةُ أَخِيكَ.

17 You must not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. You are not to marry her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter and have sexual relations with her. They are close relatives; it is depraved.

17 لَا تَتَزَوَّجِ امْرَأَةً وَابْنَتَهَا، وَلا تَتَزَوَّجْ مَعَهَا ابْنَةَ ابْنِهَا أَوِ ابْنَةَ بِنْتِهَا، لأَنَّهُمَا قَرِيبَتَاهَا، وَإِنْ فَعَلْتَ تَرْتَكِبْ رَذِيلَةً.

18 You must not take your wife’s sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is still alive.

18 لَا تَتَزَوَّجِ امْرَأَةً عَلَى أُخْتِهَا لِتَكُونَ ضَرَّةً مَعَهَا فِي أَثْنَاءِ حَيَاةِ زَوْجَتِكَ.

19 You must not approach a woman to have sexual relations with her during her menstrual period.

19 لَا تُعَاشِرِ امْرَأَةً وَهِيَ فِي نَجَاسَةِ حَيْضِهَا،

20 You must not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife and thus defile yourself with her.

20 وَلا تُقَارِبِ امْرَأَةَ صَاحِبِكَ فَتُعَاشِرَهَا وَتَتَنَجَّسَ بِها.

21 You must not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molech, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.

21 لَا تُجِزْ أَحَدَ أَبْنَائِكَ فِي النَّارِ قُرْبَاناً لِلْوَثَنِ مُولَكَ، لِئَلّا تُدَنِّسَ اسْمَ إِلَهِكَ. أَنَا الرَّبُّ

22 You must not lie with a man as with a woman; that is an abomination.

22 لَا تُضَاجِعْ ذَكَراً مُضَاجَعَةَ امْرَأَةٍ. إِنَّهَا رَجَاسَةٌ،

23 You must not lie carnally with any animal, thus defiling yourself with it; a woman must not stand before an animal to mate with it; that is a perversion.

23 وَلا تُعَاشِرْ بَهِيمَةً فَتَتَنَجَّسَ بِها، وَلا تَقِفِ امْرَأَةٌ أَمَامَ بَهِيمَةٍ ذَكَرٍ لِتُضَاجِعَهَا. إِنَّهُ فَاحِشَةٌ.

24 Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for by all these things the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves.

24 لَا تَتَنَجَّسُوا بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ الأَعْمَالِ الْمُشِينَةِ لأَنَّ بِها تَنَجَّسَتِ الشُّعُوبُ الَّتِي سَأَطْرُدُهَا مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ،

25 Even the land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.

25 فَقَدْ تَنَجَّسَتْ بِها الأَرْضُ، لِهَذَا سَأُعَاقِبُ الأَرْضَ بِذَنْبِهَا فَتَتَقَيَّأُ سُكَّانَهَا.

26 But you are to keep My statutes and ordinances, and you must not commit any of these abominations—neither your native-born nor the foreigner who lives among you.

26 أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فاحْفَظُوا فَرَائِضِي وَأَحْكَامِي، وَلا تَقْتَرِفُوا شَيْئاً مِنْ هَذِهِ الرَّجَاسَاتِ، الْمُوَاطِنُ وَالْغَرِيبُ الْمُقِيمُ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ عَلَى حَدٍّ سَوَاءٍ.

27 For the men who were in the land before you committed all these abominations, and the land has become defiled.

27 لأَنَّ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الرَّجَاسَاتِ قَدِ ارْتَكَبَهَا أَهْلُ الْبِلادِ الَّذِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ، فَتَنَجَّسَتِ الأَرْضُ.

28 So if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it spewed out the nations before you.

28 فَلا تُنَجِّسُوا الأَرْضَ بِارْتِكَابِكُمْ إِيَّاهَا، لِئَلّا تَتَقَيَّأَكُمْ كَمَا تَقَيَّأَتِ الأُمَمَ الَّتِي قَبْلَكُمْ.

29 Therefore anyone who commits any of these abominations must be cut off from among his people.

29 بَلْ كُلُّ مَنِ اقْتَرَفَ شَيْئاً مِنْ هَذِهِ الرَّجَاسَاتِ جَمِيعِهَا تُسْتَأْصَلُ تِلْكَ النَّفْسُ الْجَانِيَةُ مِنْ بَيْنِ شَعْبِهَا.

30 You must keep My charge not to practice any of the abominable customs that were practiced before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them. I am the LORD your God.”

30 فَاحْفَظُوا شَعَائِرِي لِكَيْ لَا تَرْتَكِبُوا شَيْئاً مِنَ الْمُمَارَسَاتِ الرَّجِسَةِ الَّتِي اقْتُرِفَتْ قَبْلَكُمْ، وَلا تَتَنَجَّسُوا بِها. أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ».
