1 “ These are the statutes and judgments which you shall be careful to observe in the land which the Lord God of your fathers is giving you to possess, all the days that you live on the earth.

«هَذِهِ هِيَ الشَّرائِعُ وَالفَرائِضُ الَّتِي تَحرِصُونَ عَلَى العَمَلِ بِها فِي الأرْضِ الَّتِي أعطاها اللهُ إلَهُ آبائِكُمْ لَكُمْ لِتَمتَلِكُوها. فأطِيعُوها ما دُمتُمْ تَسكُنُونَ هَذِهِ الأرْضَ.

2 Y ou shall utterly destroy all the places where the nations which you shall dispossess served their gods, on the high mountains and on the hills and under every green tree.

وَحِينَ تَطرُدُونَ هِذِهِ الأُمَمَ، دَمِّرُوا جَمِيعَ أماكِنِ العِبادَةِ الَّتِي عَبَدُوا فِيها آلِهَتَهُمْ تَدْميراً كامِلاً. سَواءٌ أكانَتْ عَلَى الجِبالِ المُرتَفِعَةِ أمْ عَلَى التِّلالِ أمْ تَحتَ الأشجارِ الخَضْراءِ.

3 A nd you shall destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and burn their wooden images with fire; you shall cut down the carved images of their gods and destroy their names from that place.

اهدِمُوا مَذابِحَهُمْ، وَحَطِّمُوا أنْصابَهُمُ التَّذْكارِيَّةَ، وَأحْرِقُوا أعمِدَةَ عَشْتَرُوتَ الَّتِي يَعبُدُونَها، وَحَطِّمُوا تَماثِيلَ آلِهَتِهِمْ، وَلْتُمحَ أسماؤهُمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ المَكانِ.

4 Y ou shall not worship the Lord your God with such things.

«وَلا تَعبُدُوا إلَهَكُمْ بِتِلكَ الطَّرِيقَةِ.

5 “ But you shall seek the place where the Lord your God chooses, out of all your tribes, to put His name for His dwelling place; and there you shall go.

بَلِ اذهَبُوا إلَى المَكانِ الَّذِي سَيَخْتارُهُ إلهُكُمْ لَكُمْ مِنْ بَينِ القَبائِلِ، حَيثُ سَيَضَعُ اسْمَهُ وَيَسكُنُ.

6 T here you shall take your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the heave offerings of your hand, your vowed offerings, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks.

تَعالُوا إلَى ذَلِكَ المَكانِ بِذَبائِحِكُمْ وَعُشُورِ مَحاصِيلِكُمْ وَحَيواناتِكُمْ وَتَقدِماتِكُمُ المَرْفُوعَةِ، وَأيَّةِ تَقدِمَةٍ نَذَرتُمْ تَقدِيمَها، وَتَقدِماتِكُمُ الاختِيارِيَّةِ، وَأبْكارِ بَقَرِكُمْ وَغَنَمِكُمْ.

7 A nd there you shall eat before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice in all to which you have put your hand, you and your households, in which the Lord your God has blessed you.

فَتَأْكُلُونَ هُناكَ فِي حَضْرَةِ إلَهِكُمْ ، وَسَتَفرَحُونَ فَرَحاً بِكُلِّ ما عَمِلَتْهُ أيدِيكُمْ أنتُمْ وَعائِلاتُكُمْ، لِأنَّ إلَهَكُمْ قَدْ بارَكَكُمْ.

8 “ You shall not at all do as we are doing here today—every man doing whatever is right in his own eyes—

«فَلا تَعُودُوا تَسلُكُونَ كَمَا نَسلُكُ الآنَ، كُلُّ واحِدٍ عَلَى هَواهُ!

9 f or as yet you have not come to the rest and the inheritance which the Lord your God is giving you.

لِأنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَأْتُوا بَعدُ إلَى مَكانِ الرّاحَةِ وَالأرْضِ الَّتِي سَيُعطِيها إلَهُكُمْ لَكُمْ.

10 B ut when you cross over the Jordan and dwell in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to inherit, and He gives you rest from all your enemies round about, so that you dwell in safety,

لَكِنَّكُمْ سَتَعبُرُونَ نَهرَ الأُردُنِّ قَرِيباً، وَسَتَكُونُونَ فِي الأرْضِ الَّتِي يُعطِيها إلَهُكُمْ لَكُمْ، فَيُعطِيكُمْ راحَةً مِنْ أعدائِكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ الجِهاتِ، وَتَعِيشُونَ بِأمانٍ.

11 t hen there will be the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide. There you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the heave offerings of your hand, and all your choice offerings which you vow to the Lord.

فَاحمِلُوا كُلَّ ما آمُرُكُمْ بِهِ إلَى المَكانِ الَّذِي يَختارُهُ إلَهُكُمْ لِيُسكِنَ اسْمَهُ فِيهِ. احمِلُوا ذَبائِحَكُمُ الصّاعِدَةَ وَتَقدِماتِكُمْ وَعُشُورَ مَحاصِيلِكُمْ وَحَيواناتِكُمْ وَتَقدِماتِكُمْ الاختِيارِيَّةَ وَالأشياءَ الثَّمينَةَ الَّتِي نَذَرتُمُوها للهِ.

12 A nd you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your sons and your daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levite who is within your gates, since he has no portion nor inheritance with you.

«افرَحُوا فِي حَضْرَةِ إلَهِكُمْ ، أنتُمْ وَأبناؤُكُمْ وَبَناتُكُمْ وَعَبِيدُكُمْ وَإماؤُكُمْ وَاللّاوِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ، لِأنَّ لَيسَ لَهُمْ نَصِيبٌ فِي الأرْضِ بَينَكُمْ.

13 T ake heed to yourself that you do not offer your burnt offerings in every place that you see;

احرِصُوا عَلَى ألّا تُقَدِّمُوا تِقْدِماتِكُمُ الصّاعِدَةَ فِي أيِّ مَكانٍ تَرَونَهُ،

14 b ut in the place which the Lord chooses, in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you.

بَلْ قَدِّمُوها فِي المَكانِ الَّذِي يَختارُهُ اللهُ فِي أرْضِ إحْدَى قَبائِلِكُمْ. فاعمَلُوا هُناكَ كُلَّ ما آمُرُكُمْ بِهِ.

15 “ However, you may slaughter and eat meat within all your gates, whatever your heart desires, according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you; the unclean and the clean may eat of it, of the gazelle and the deer alike.

«وَحِينَ تَرغَبُونَ، يُمكِنُكُمْ أنْ تَذبَحُوا وَتَأكُلُوا لَحماً فِي كُلِّ مُدُنِكُمْ حَسَبَ ما أعطاكُمْ إلَهُكُمْ. إذْ يُمكِنُ لِلطّاهِرِينَ مَنكُمْ وَغَيرِ الطّاهِرِينَ أنْ يَأكُلُوا مِنهُ كَما يأكُلُونَ الغَزالَ أوِ الإيَّلَ.

16 O nly you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it on the earth like water.

لَكِنْ لا تَأكُلُوا الدَّمَ، بَلِ اسْكُبُوهُ عَلَى الأرْضِ كَالماءِ.

17 Y ou may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain or your new wine or your oil, of the firstborn of your herd or your flock, of any of your offerings which you vow, of your freewill offerings, or of the heave offering of your hand.

«لا تَأكُلُوا فِي مُدُنِكُمْ عُشُورَ قَمحِكُمْ وَنَبيذِكُمُ وَزَيتِكُمْ، وَلا أبْكارَ بَقَرِكُمْ أوْ غَنَمِكُمْ، وَكُلَّ الأشياءِ الَّتِي نَذَرتُمْ بِها، وَتَقدِماتِكُمُ الاختِيارِيَّةَ وتَبَرُّعاتِكُمْ.

18 B ut you must eat them before the Lord your God in the place which the Lord your God chooses, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God in all to which you put your hands.

فَلا تَأكُلُوا هَذِهِ التَّقدِماتِ إلّا فِي حَضْرَةِ إلَهِكُمْ ، فِي المَكانِ الَّذِي سَيَختارُهُ إلَهُكُمْ ، فَتَأكُلُونَ أنتُمْ وَأبناؤُكُمْ وَبَناتُكُمْ وَعَبِيدُكُمْ وَإماؤُكُمْ وَالَّلاوِيُّونَ السّاكِنُونَ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ، وَتَستَمتِعُونَ فِي حَضْرَةِ إلَهِكُمْ بِكُلِّ الأشياءِ الصَّالِحَةِ الَّتِي عَمِلتُمْ فِيها.

19 T ake heed to yourself that you do not forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land.

«احرِصُوا عَلَى عَدَمِ إهمالِ الَّلاوِيِّينَ ما دُمتُمْ تَسكُنُونَ الأرْضَ.

20 “ When the Lord your God enlarges your border as He has promised you, and you say, ‘Let me eat meat,’ because you long to eat meat, you may eat as much meat as your heart desires.

وَإذا وَسَّعَ إلَهِكُمْ أرْضَكُمْ كَما وَعَدَكُمْ، وَرَغِبتُمْ فِي أكلِ اللَّحمِ، وَقُلتُمْ: ‹سَنَأكُلُ بَعضَ اللَّحمِ،› فَإنَّهُ يُمكِنُكُمْ أنْ تَأكُلُوا لَحماً بِقَدْرِ ما تُرِيدُونَ.

21 I f the place where the Lord your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, then you may slaughter from your herd and from your flock which the Lord has given you, just as I have commanded you, and you may eat within your gates as much as your heart desires.

وَإنْ كانَ المَكانُ الَّذِي يَختارُهُ إلَهُكُمْ لِيَضَعَ فِيهِ اسْمَهُ بَعِيداً عَنكُمْ، فَإنَّهُ يُمكِنُكُمْ أنْ تَذبَحُوا مِنْ أبقارِكُمْ وَغَنَمِكُمُ الَّتِي أعطاها اللهُ لَكُمْ، كَما أمَرتُكُمْ، وَيُمكِنُكُمْ أنْ تَأكُلُوا قَدرَ ما تُرِيدُونَ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ.

22 J ust as the gazelle and the deer are eaten, so you may eat them; the unclean and the clean alike may eat them.

كُلُوهُ كَما تَأكُلُونَ الغَزالَ أوِ الإيَّلَ. وَيَأكُلُ مِنهُ الطّاهِرُونَ وَغَيرُ الطّاهِرِينَ.

23 O nly be sure that you do not eat the blood, for the blood is the life; you may not eat the life with the meat.

«احْرَصُوا عَلَى أنْ لا تَأكُلُوا الدَّمَ، لِأنَّ فِيهِ الحَياةَ. فَلا تأكُلُوا الحَياةَ مَعَ اللَّحمِ.

24 Y ou shall not eat it; you shall pour it on the earth like water.

لا تأكُلُوا الدَّمَ، بَلِ اسْكُبُوهُ عَلَى الأرْضِ كَالماءِ.

25 Y ou shall not eat it, that it may go well with you and your children after you, when you do what is right in the sight of the Lord.

لا تَأكُلُوهُ، لِيَكُونَ لَكُمْ وَلِأولادِكُمْ خَيرٌ. افْعَلُوا ما يَراهُ اللهُ صَلاحاً وحَقّاً.

26 O nly the holy things which you have, and your vowed offerings, you shall take and go to the place which the Lord chooses.

«أمّا تَقدِماتُكُمُ المُقَدَّسَةُ وَتَقدِماتُ نُذُورِكُمْ، فَخُذُوها إلَى المَكانِ الَّذِي سَيَختارُهُ اللهُ ،

27 A nd you shall offer your burnt offerings, the meat and the blood, on the altar of the Lord your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of the Lord your God, and you shall eat the meat.

وَقَدِّمُوا تِقْدِماتِكُمُ الصّاعِدَةَ: اللَّحمَ وَالدَّمَ، عَلَى مَذبَحِ إلَهِكُمْ. وَأمّا دَمُ ذَبائِحِكُمُ الأُخرَى فَيَنْبَغِي أنْ يُسفَكَ أيضاً عَلَى مَذبَحِ إلَهِكُمْ. وَلَكِنْ يُمكِنُكُمْ أنْ تَأكُلُوا اللَّحمَ.

28 O bserve and obey all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God. Beware of False Gods

فاحرِصُوا عَلَى إطاعَةِ جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ الوَصايا الَّتِي أُعطِيها لَكُمُ اليَومَ، لِيَكُونَ لَكُمْ وَلِأولادِكُمْ خَيرٌ إلَى الأبَدِ، لأنَّكُمْ عَمِلتُمْ الصَّلاحَ وَالحَقَّ أمامَ إلَهِكُمْ.

29 “ When the Lord your God cuts off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you displace them and dwell in their land,

«وَمَتَى أهلَكَ إلَهُكُمْ أمامَكُمُ الأُمَمَ الَّتِي سَتَدخُلُونَ لِتَطْرُدُوها، وَحَينَ تَطرُدُونَها وَتَسكُنُونَ فِي أرْضِهِمْ،

30 t ake heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.’

احذَرُوا مِنْ أنْ تَقَعُوا فِي فَخِّ تَقلِيدِ أعمالِهِمْ مِنْ بَعدِ هَلاكِهِمْ أمامَكُمْ. احذَرُوا أنْ تَسألُوا عَنْ آلِهَتِهِمْ: ‹كَيفَ عَبَدَتْ هَذِهِ الأُمَمُ آلِهَتَها؟ لِكَي نَعْمَلَ نَحنُ أيضاً مِثلَهُمْ!›

31 Y ou shall not worship the Lord your God in that way; for every abomination to the Lord which He hates they have done to their gods; for they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.

فَلا تَعبُدُوا يهوه إلَهَكُمْ بِطُرُقِهِمْ، فَهُمْ يَعْمَلُونَ لآلِهَتِهِمْ ما يُبْغِضُهُ يهوه، إذْ يُحرِقُونَ حَتَّى أبْناءَهُمْ وَبَناتِهِمْ فَي النّارِ كَقَرابينَ لآلِهَتِهِمْ.

32 “ Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.

فَاحْرِصُوا عَلَى تَطبيقِ جَمِيعِ ما أُوصِيكُمْ بِهِ. لا تُضِيفُوا إلَيهِ، وَلا تَحذِفُوا مِنهُ.
