1 W hen a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

«إنَ تَزَوَّجَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ امْرأةٍ، لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يُسَرَّ بِها لاحِقاً لِأنَّهُ وَجَدَ فِيها أمراً مُزعِجاً، وَكَتَبَ لَها وَثيقَةَ طَلاقٍ وَأعطاها لَها، وَصَرَفَها مِنْ بَيتِهِ،

2 A nd when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.

فَغادَرَتِ البَيتَ وَتَزَوَّجَتْ بِرَجُلٍ آخَرَ،

3 A nd if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;

وَالزَّوجُ الثّانِي لَمْ يُسَرَّ بِها أيضاً، فَكَتَبَ لَها وَثيقَةَ طَلاقٍ وَأعطاها لَها، وَصَرَفَها مِنْ بَيتِهِ، أوْ إنْ ماتَ زَوجُها الثّانِي،

4 h er former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the Lord: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

فَإنَّ الزَّوجَ الأوَّلَ الَّذِي صَرَفَها لا يَستَطِيعُ أنْ يَتَزَوَّجَها ثانِيَةً، بَعدَ أنْ صارَتْ مُنَجَّسَةً بِالنِّسبَةِ لَهُ. اللهُ يُبغِضُ ذَلِكَ وَيَمْقُتُهُ. فَلا تَجلِبْ خَطيَّةً عَلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي أعطاها إلَهُكَ لَكَ مِيراثاً.

5 W hen a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.

«حِينَ يَكُونُ الرَّجُلُ حَدِيثَ الزَّواجِ، فَإنَّهُ يُعفَى مِنَ الذَّهابِ مَعَ الجَيشِ، وَلا يُكَلَّفُ بِمَسؤلِيّاتٍ عامَّةٍ. وَيَكُونُ حُرّاً لِيَبقَى فِي بَيتِهِ لِسَنَةٍ واحِدَةٍ حَتَّى يُسعِدَ زَوجَتَهُ. شَرائِعُ مُتَفَرِّقَة

6 N o man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh a man’s life to pledge.

«لا يَجُوزُ لِأحَدٍ أنْ يَأخُذَ أيٍّ مِنْ حَجَرَي الرَّحَى كَضَمانٍ عَلَى قَرضٍ، لِأنَّهُ يَأخُذُ شَيئاً أساسِيّاً لِلحَياةِ.

7 I f a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.

«إذا خَطَفَ أحَدٌ شَخْصاً مِنْ شَعبِهِ، بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ، وَاستَعبَدَهُ أوْ باعَهُ، فَإنَّ هَذا الخاطِفُ يُقتَلُ، فَتُزِيلُونَ الشَّرَّ مِنْ وَسَطِكُمْ.

8 T ake heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.

«إذا أُصِبْتَ بِالبَرَصِ، فاحرِصْ عَلَى إطاعَةِ كُلِّ ما يُعَلِّمُهُ الكَهَنَةُ الَّلاوِيُّونَ لَكَ. وَاعْمَلْ ما أوصَيتُكَ بِهِ.

9 R emember what the Lord thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.

وَتَذَكَّرْ ما عَمِلَهُ إلَهُكَ بِمَريَمَ فِي الرِّحلَةِ بَعْدَ خُرُوجِكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

10 W hen thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.

«حِينَ تُقرِضُ شَخصاً أيَّ شَيءٍ، لا تَدخُلْ بَيتَهُ لِأخذِ ضَمانَتِهِ،

11 T hou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.

بَلْ قِفْ خارِجاً. الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي أقْرَضْتَهُ سَيُخرِجُ لَكَ الضَّمانَةَ.

12 A nd if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:

فَإنْ كانَ فَقِيراً، لا تَنَمْ فِي ثَوبِهِ الَّذِي أعطاهُ لَكَ كَضَمانةٍ.

13 i n any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the Lord thy God.

بَلْ أعِدْهُ إلَيهِ عِندَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمسِ لِيَنامَ فِيهِ فَيُبارِكَكَ. وَيَكُونُ هَذا حَسَناً أمامَ إلَهِكَ.

14 T hou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates:

«لا تَأكُلْ حَقَّ أجِيرٍ فَقِيرٍ وَمُحتاجٍ، سَواءٌ أكانَ إسرائِيلِيّاً أمْ غَرِيباً يَسكُنُ أرْضَكَ فِي إحدَى مُدُنِكَ.

15 a t his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the Lord, and it be sin unto thee.

ادْفَعْ لَهُ أُجرَتَهُ فِي اليَومِ ذاتِهِ قَبلَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمسِ، لِأنَّهُ فَقِيرٌ وَيَعتَمِدُ عَلَى أُجرَتِهِ. فَإنْ لَمْ تَفعَلْ فَإنَّهُ سَيَشتَكِي عَلَيكَ إلَى اللهِ فَتُحْسَبَ مُذنِباً أمامَهُ.

16 T he fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

«لا ينبَغِي أنْ يُقتَلَ الآباءُ لِأجلِ الأولادِ، وَلا أنْ يُقتَلَ الأولادُ لِأجلِ الآباءِ. بَلْ يُقتَلُ كُلُّ واحِدٍ عَنْ خَطِيَّتِهِ.

17 T hou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow’s raiment to pledge:

«لا تَحكُمْ عَلَى غَرِيبٍ أوْ يَتِيمٍ بِغَيرِ عَدلٍ، وَلا تَأخُذْ ثَوبَ أرمَلَةٍ كَضَمانَةٍ.

18 b ut thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.

تَذَكَّرْ أنَّكَ كُنتَ عَبداً فِي مِصْرَ، وَأنَّ إلَهَكَ حَرَّرَكَ مِنْ هُناكَ. وَلِهَذا فَأنا أُوصِيكَ بِأنْ تَعمَلَ ذَلِكَ.

19 W hen thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.

«إذا جَمَعتَ حَصادَ حَقلِكَ وَنَسِيتَ حُزمَةَ قَمحٍ فِي الحَقلِ، لا تَعُدْ لأخْذِها. سَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ الحُزمَةُ لَلغَرِيبِ وَاليَتِيمِ وَالأرمَلَةِ، لِيُبارِكَكَ إلَهُكَ فِي كُلِّ شَيءٍ تَعمَلُهُ.

20 W hen thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

وَحِينَ تَخبِطُ زَيتُونَكَ عَنْ أشجارِ الزَّيتُونِ، لا تَذهَبْ لِخَبطِ الأغصانِ ثانِيَةً. فَما يَتَبَقَّى مِنَ الزَّيتُونِ سَيَكُونُ لِلغَرِيبِ وَاليَتِيمِ وَالأرمَلَةِ.

21 W hen thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

وَحِينَ تَجمَعُ العِنَبَ مِنَ الكَرْمِ، لا تَعُدْ لِجَمعِ العِنَبِ المُتَبَقِّي. فَما يَتَبَقَّى مِنَ العِنَبِ سَيَكُونُ لِلغَرِيبِ وَاليَتِيمِ وَالأرمَلَةِ.

22 A nd thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.

تَذَكَّرْ أنَّكَ كُنتَ عَبداً فِي أرْضِ مِصْرَ. وَلِهَذا فَأنا أُوصِيكَ بِأنْ تَعمَلَ ذَلِكَ.
