DEUTERONOMY 17

تثنية 17

1  "You shall not sacrifice to the Lord your God a bull or sheep which has any blemish or defect, for that is an abomination to the Lord your God.

1  «لا تَذْبَحْ لِلرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ ثَوْراً أَوْ شَاةً فِيهِ عَيْبٌ شَيْءٌ مَا رَدِيءٌ لأَنَّ ذَلِكَ رِجْسٌ لدَى الرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ.

2  "If there is found among you, within any of your gates which the Lord your God gives you, a man or a woman who has been wicked in the sight of the Lord your God, in transgressing His covenant,

2  «إِذَا وُجِدَ فِي وَسَطِكَ فِي أَحَدِ أَبْوَابِكَ التِي يُعْطِيكَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ رَجُلٌ أَوِ امْرَأَةٌ يَفْعَلُ شَرّاً فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ بِتَجَاوُزِ عَهْدِهِ

3  who has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, either the sun or moon or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded,

3  وَيَذْهَبُ وَيَعْبُدُ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَيَسْجُدُ لهَا أَوْ لِلشَّمْسِ أَوْ لِلقَمَرِ أَوْ لِكُلٍّ مِنْ جُنْدِ السَّمَاءِ - الشَّيْءَ الذِي لمْ أُوصِ بِهِ

4  and it is told you, and you hear of it, then you shall inquire diligently. And if it is indeed true and certain that such an abomination has been committed in Israel,

4  وَأُخْبِرْتَ وَسَمِعْتَ وَفَحَصْتَ جَيِّداً وَإِذَا الأَمْرُ صَحِيحٌ أَكِيدٌ. قَدْ عُمِل ذَلِكَ الرِّجْسُ فِي إِسْرَائِيل

5  then you shall bring out to your gates that man or woman who has committed that wicked thing, and shall stone to death that man or woman with stones.

5  فَأَخْرِجْ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُل أَوْ تِلكَ المَرْأَةَ الذِي فَعَل ذَلِكَ الأَمْرَ الشِّرِّيرَ إِلى أَبْوَابِكَ الرَّجُل أَوِ المَرْأَةَ وَارْجُمْهُ بِالحِجَارَةِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ.

6  Whoever is deserving of death shall be put to death on the testimony of two or three witnesses; he shall not be put to death on the testimony of one witness.

6  عَلى فَمِ شَاهِدَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاثَةِ شُهُودٍ يُقْتَلُ الذِي يُقْتَلُ. لا يُقْتَل عَلى فَمِ شَاهِدٍ وَاحِدٍ.

7  The hands of the witnesses shall be the first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So you shall put away the evil from among you.

7  أَيْدِي الشُّهُودِ تَكُونُ عَليْهِ أَوَّلاً لِقَتْلِهِ ثُمَّ أَيْدِي جَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ أَخِيراً فَتَنْزِعُ الشَّرَّ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ.

8  "If a matter arises which is too hard for you to judge, between degrees of guilt for bloodshed, between one judgment or another, or between one punishment or another, matters of controversy within your gates, then you shall arise and go up to the place which the Lord your God chooses.

8  «إِذَا عَسِرَ عَليْكَ أَمْرٌ فِي القَضَاءِ بَيْنَ دَمٍ وَدَمٍ أَوْ بَيْنَ دَعْوَى وَدَعْوَى أَوْ بَيْنَ ضَرْبَةٍ وَضَرْبَةٍ مِنْ أُمُورِ الخُصُومَاتِ فِي أَبْوَابِكَ فَقُمْ وَاصْعَدْ إِلى المَكَانِ الذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ

9  And you shall come to the priests, the Levites, and to the judge there in those days, and inquire of them; they shall pronounce upon you the sentence of judgment.

9  وَاذْهَبْ إِلى الكَهَنَةِ اللاوِيِّينَ وَإِلى القَاضِي الذِي يَكُونُ فِي تِلكَ الأَيَّامِ وَاسْأَل فَيُخْبِرُوكَ بِأَمْرِ القَضَاءِ.

10  You shall do according to the sentence which they pronounce upon you in that place which the Lord chooses. And you shall be careful to do according to all that they order you.

10  فَتَعْمَلُ حَسَبَ الأَمْرِ الذِي يُخْبِرُونَكَ بِهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ المَكَانِ الذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ وَتَحْرِصُ أَنْ تَعْمَل حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا يُعَلِّمُونَكَ.

11  According to the sentence of the law in which they instruct you, according to the judgment which they tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left from the sentence which they pronounce upon you.

11  حَسَبَ الشَّرِيعَةِ التِي يُعَلِّمُونَكَ وَالقَضَاءِ الذِي يَقُولُونَهُ لكَ تَعْمَلُ. لا تَحِدْ عَنِ الأَمْرِ الذِي يُخْبِرُونَكَ بِهِ يَمِيناً أَوْ شِمَالاً.

12  Now the man who acts presumptuously and will not heed the priest who stands to minister there before the Lord your God, or the judge, that man shall die. So you shall put away the evil from Israel.

12  وَالرَّجُلُ الذِي يَعْمَلُ بِطُغْيَانٍ فَلا يَسْمَعُ لِلكَاهِنِ الوَاقِفِ هُنَاكَ لِيَخْدِمَ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ أَوْ لِلقَاضِي يُقْتَلُ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ فَتَنْزِعُ الشَّرَّ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيل.

13  And all the people shall hear and fear, and no longer act presumptuously.

13  فَيَسْمَعُ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ وَيَخَافُونَ وَلا يَطْغُونَ بَعْدُ.

14  "When you come to the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and possess it and dwell in it, and say, 'I will set a king over me like all the nations that are around me,'

14  «مَتَى أَتَيْتَ إِلى الأَرْضِ التِي يُعْطِيكَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ وَامْتَلكْتَهَا وَسَكَنْتَ فِيهَا فَإِنْ قُلتَ: أَجْعَلُ عَليَّ مَلِكاً كَجَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ الذِينَ حَوْلِي.

15  you shall surely set a king over you whom the Lord your God chooses; one from among your brethren you shall set as king over you; you may not set a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.

15  فَإِنَّكَ تَجْعَلُ عَليْكَ مَلِكاً الذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ. مِنْ وَسَطِ إِخْوَتِكَ تَجْعَلُ عَليْكَ مَلِكاً. لا يَحِلُّ لكَ أَنْ تَجْعَل عَليْكَ رَجُلاً أَجْنَبِيّاً ليْسَ هُوَ أَخَاكَ.

16  But he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt to multiply horses, for the Lord has said to you, 'You shall not return that way again.'

16  وَلكِنْ لا يُكَثِّرْ لهُ الخَيْل وَلا يَرُدُّ الشَّعْبَ إِلى مِصْرَ لِكَيْ يُكَثِّرَ الخَيْل وَالرَّبُّ قَدْ قَال لكُمْ: لا تَعُودُوا تَرْجِعُونَ فِي هَذِهِ الطَّرِيقِ أَيْضاً.

17  Neither shall he multiply wives for himself, lest his heart turn away; nor shall he greatly multiply silver and gold for himself.

17  وَلا يُكَثِّرْ لهُ نِسَاءً لِئَلا يَزِيغَ قَلبُهُ. وَفِضَّةً وَذَهَباً لا يُكَثِّرْ لهُ كَثِيراً.

18  "Also it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book, from the one before the priests, the Levites.

18  وَعِنْدَمَا يَجْلِسُ عَلى كُرْسِيِّ مَمْلكَتِهِ يَكْتُبُ لِنَفْسِهِ نُسْخَةً مِنْ هَذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةِ فِي كِتَابٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ الكَهَنَةِ اللاوِيِّينَ

19  And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God and be careful to observe all the words of this law and these statutes,

19  فَتَكُونُ مَعَهُ وَيَقْرَأُ فِيهَا كُل أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ لِيَتَعَلمَ أَنْ يَتَّقِيَ الرَّبَّ إِلهَهُ وَيَحْفَظَ جَمِيعَ كَلِمَاتِ هَذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةِ وَهَذِهِ الفَرَائِضَ لِيَعْمَل بِهَا

20  that his heart may not be lifted above his brethren, that he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right hand or to the left, and that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children in the midst of Israel.

20  لِئَلا يَرْتَفِعَ قَلبُهُ عَلى إِخْوَتِهِ وَلِئَلا يَحِيدَ عَنِ الوَصِيَّةِ يَمِيناً أَوْ شِمَالاً. لِكَيْ يُطِيل الأَيَّامَ عَلى مَمْلكَتِهِ هُوَ وَبَنُوهُ فِي وَسَطِ إِسْرَائِيل».
