Leviticus 20

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

1 وَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلاً:

2 “Tell the Israelites, ‘Any Israelite or foreigner living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death. The people of the land are to stone him.

2 «قُلْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَيُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْهُمْ أَوْ مِنَ الْغُرَبَاءِ الْمُقِيمِينَ بَيْنَهُمْ قَرَّبَ لِلصَّنَمِ مُولَكَ أَحَدَ أَبْنَائِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ إِذْ يَرْجُمُهُ شَعْبُ الأَرْضِ بِالْحِجَارَةِ.

3 And I will set My face against that man and cut him off from his people, because by giving his offspring to Molech, he has defiled My sanctuary and profaned My holy name.

3 وَأَنَا أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الإِنْسَانِ وَأَسْتَأْصِلُهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ شَعْبِهِ، لأَنَّهُ قَرَّبَ أَحَدَ أَبْنَائِهِ لِلْوَثَنِ مُولَكَ لِيُنَجِّسَ قُدْسِي وَيُدَنِّسَ اسْمِي الْمُقَدَّسَ.

4 And if the people of the land ever hide their eyes and fail to put to death the man who gives one of his children to Molech,

4 وَإِنْ تَغَاضَى شَعْبُ الأَرْضِ عَنْ ذَلِكَ الإِنْسَانِ، عِنْدَمَا قَرَّبَ لِمُولَكَ أَحَدَ أَبْنَائِهِ، فَلَمْ يَقْتُلُوهُ،

5 then I will set My face against that man and his family and cut off from among their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves with Molech.

5 فَإِنِّي أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الإِنْسَانِ وَعَلَى عَشِيرَتِهِ، وَأَسْتَأْصِلُهُ مَعَ جَمِيعِ الضَّالِّينَ وَرَاءَهُ، الزَّانِينَ مَعَ الصَّنَمِ مُولَكَ مِنْ بَيْنِ شَعْبِهِمْ.

6 Whoever turns to mediums or spiritists to prostitute himself with them, I will also set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.

6 وَكُلُّ نَفْسٍ غَوَتْ وَرَاءَ أَصْحَابِ الْجَانِّ وَتَعَلَّقَتْ بِالتَّوَابِعِ خِيَانَةً لِي، أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى تِلْكَ النَّفْسِ وَأَسْتَأْصِلُهَا مِنْ بَيْنِ شَعْبِهَا.

7 Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am the LORD your God.

7 فَتَقَدَّسُوا وَكُونُوا قِدِّيسِينَ، لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

8 And you shall keep My statutes and practice them. I am the LORD who sanctifies you.

8 أَطِيعُوا فَرَائِضِي وَاعْمَلُوا بِها، فَأَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي يُقَدِّسُكُمْ.

9 If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or mother; his blood shall be upon him.

9 كُلُّ مَنْ شَتَمَ أَبَاهُ أَوْ أُمَّهُ يُقْتَلُ لأَنَّهُ شَتَمَ أَبَاهُ أَوْ أُمَّهُ، لِذَلِكَ دَمُهُ عَلَيْهِ.

10 If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must surely be put to death.

10 إِذَا زَنَى رَجُلٌ مَعَ امْرَأَةِ قَرِيبِهِ، فَالزَّانِي وَالزَّانِيَةُ يُقْتَلانِ.

11 If a man lies with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

11 وَإذَا عَاشَرَ رَجُلٌ زَوْجَةَ أَبِيهِ، فَكِلاهُمَا يُقْتَلانِ لأَنَّهُ كَشَفَ عَوْرَةَ أَبِيهِ، وَيَكُونُ دَمُهُمَا عَلَى رَأْسَيْهِمَا.

12 If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both must surely be put to death. They have acted perversely; their blood is upon them.

12 وَإذَا عَاشَرَ رَجُلٌ كَنَّتَهُ فَكِلاهُمَا يُقْتَلانِ، لأَنَّهُمَا قَدِ اقْتَرَفَا فَاحِشَةً، وَيَكُونُ دَمُهُمَا عَلَى رَأْسَيْهِمَا.

13 If a man lies with a man as with a woman, they have both committed an abomination. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

13 وَإذَا ضَاجَعَ رَجُلٌ ذَكَراً مُضَاجَعَةَ امْرَأَةٍ، فَكِلاهُمَا يُقْتَلانِ لأَنَّهُمَا ارْتَكَبَا رِجْساً. وَيَكُونُ دَمُهُمَا عَلَى رَأْسَيْهِمَا.

14 If a man marries both a woman and her mother, it is depraved. Both he and they must be burned in the fire, so that there will be no depravity among you.

14 وَإذَا تَزَوَّجَ رَجُلٌ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ وَأُمِّهَا، فَتِلْكَ رَذِيلَةٌ. لِيُحْرَقُوا بِالنَّارِ لِئَلّا تَفْشُوَ رَذِيلَةٌ بَيْنَكُمْ.

15 If a man lies carnally with an animal, he must be put to death. And you are also to kill the animal.

15 وَإذَا عَاشَرَ رَجُلٌ بَهِيمَةً فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ، وَكَذَلِكَ الْبَهِيمَةُ تُمِيتُونَهَا أَيْضاً

16 If a woman approaches any animal to mate with it, you must kill both the woman and the animal. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

16 وَإذَا قَارَبَتِ امْرَأَةٌ بَهِيمَةً ذَكَراً لِتَنْزُوَهَا فَأَمِتْهُمَا. كِلاهُمَا يُقْتَلانِ، وَيَكُونُ دَمُهُمَا عَلَى رَأْسَيْهِمَا.

17 If a man marries his sister, whether the daughter of his father or of his mother, and they have sexual relations, it is a disgrace. They must be cut off in the sight of their people. He has uncovered the nakedness of his sister; he shall bear his iniquity.

17 إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ رَجُلٌ أُخْتَهُ، ابْنَةَ أَبِيهِ أَوِ ابْنَةَ أُمِّهِ، فَذَلِكَ عَارٌ، وَيَجِبُ أَنْ يُسْتَأْصَلا عَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ شَعْبِهِ، لأَنَّهُ قَدْ كَشَفَ عَوْرَةَ أُخْتِهِ، وَيُعَاقَبُ بِذَنْبِهِ.

18 If a man lies with a menstruating woman and has sexual relations with her, he has exposed the source of her flow, and she has uncovered the source of her blood. Both of them must be cut off from among their people.

18 إِذَا عَاشَرَ رَجُلٌ امْرَأَةً حَائِضاً وَكَشَفَ عَوْرَتَهَا فَقَدْ عَرَّى يَنْبُوعَهَا، وَهِيَ أَيْضاً كَشَفَتْ عَنْهُ. فَيَجِبُ أَنْ يُسْتَأْصَلا كِلاهُمَا مِنْ بَيْنِ شَعْبِهِمَا.

19 You must not have sexual relations with the sister of your mother or your father, for it is exposing one’s own kin; both shall bear their iniquity.

19 إِذَا عَاشَرَ رَجُلٌ عَمَّتَهُ أَوْ خَالَتَهُ، يُعَاقَبُ كِلاهُمَا بِذَنْبِهِمَا.

20 If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered the nakedness of his uncle. They will bear their sin; they shall die childless.

20 وَإذَا عَاشَرَ رَجُلٌ زَوْجَةَ عَمِّهِ فَقَدْ كَشَفَ عَوْرَتَهَا، وَيُعَاقَبُ كِلاهُمَا بِذَنْبِهِمَا، وَيَمُوتَانِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُعْقِبَا نَسْلاً.

21 If a man marries his brother’s wife, it is an act of impurity. He has uncovered the nakedness of his brother; they shall be childless.

21 وَإذَا تَزَوَّجَ رَجُلٌ امْرَأَةَ أَخِيهِ فَذَلِكَ نَجَاسَةٌ لأَنَّهُ كَشَفَ عَوْرَةَ أَخِيهِ. كِلاهُمَا يَمُوتَانِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُعْقِبَا نَسْلاً.

22 You are therefore to keep all My statutes and ordinances, so that the land where I am bringing you to live will not vomit you out.

22 أَطِيعُوا جَمِيعَ فَرَائِضِي وَأَحْكَامِي وَاعْمَلُوا بِها فَلا تَنْبِذَكُمُ الأَرْضُ الَّتِي أَنَا ذَاهِبٌ بِكُمْ إِلَيْهَا لِتُقِيمُوا فِيهَا.

23 You must not follow the statutes of the nations I am driving out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them.

23 لَا تُمَارِسُوا عَادَاتِ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي سَأَطْرُدُهَا مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ، لأَنَّهَا ارْتَكَبَتْ كُلَّ هَذِهِ الْقَبَائِحِ، فَكَرِهْتُهَا،

24 But I have told you that you will inherit their land, since I will give it to you as an inheritance—a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the LORD your God, who has set you apart from the peoples.

24 وَوَعَدْتُكُمْ أَنْ تَرِثُوا دِيَارَهَا. وَأَنَا أَهَبُكُمْ إِيَّاهَا لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا، أَرْضاً تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً. فَأَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، مَيَّزْتُكُمْ عَنْ بَقِيَّةِ الشُّعُوبِ.

25 You are therefore to distinguish between clean and unclean animals and birds. Do not become contaminated by any animal or bird, or by anything that crawls on the ground; I have set these apart as unclean for you.

25 مَيِّزُوا الْبَهَائِمَ الطَّاهِرَةَ مِنَ النَّجِسَةِ، وَالطُّيُورَ النَّجِسَةَ مِنَ الطَّاهِرَةِ، فَلا تُدَنِّسُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ بِالْبَهَائِمِ وَالطُّيُورِ وَالزَّوَاحِفِ الَّتِي حَظَرْتُهَا عَلَيْكُمْ.

26 You are to be holy to Me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be My own.

26 وَكُونُوا قِدِّيسِينَ لأَنِّي أَنَا قُدُّوسٌ، وَقَدْ أَفْرَزْتُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الشُّعُوبِ لِتَكُونُوا خَاصَّتِي.

27 A man or a woman who is a medium or spiritist must surely be put to death. They shall be stoned; their blood is upon them.’”

27 أَيُّ رَجُلٍ أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ يُمَارِسُ الْوَسَاطَةَ مَعَ الْجَانِّ أَوْ مُنَاجَاةَ الأَرْوَاحِ، ارْجُمُوهُ وَيَكُونُ دَمُهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ».
