1 T he Lord said to Moses,

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى:

2 “ Say to the people of Israel, ‘Any man of Israel or of the strangers living in Israel, who gives any of his children to the false god Molech, must be put to death. The people of the land will kill him with stones.

«قُلْ لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ: كُلُّ واحِدٍ مِنْ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ أوِ الغُرَباءِ السّاكِنِينَ فِي إسْرائِيلَ يُقَدِّمُ مِنْ أولادِهِ لِلإلَهِ مُولَكَ، يَنبَغِي أنْ يُقتَلَ. عَلَى شَعبِ الأرْضِ أنْ يَقتُلُوهُ بِرَجمِهِ بِالحِجارَةِ.

3 I Myself will go against that man and he will not be numbered among God’s people, because he has given some of his children to Molech, making My holy place sinful and bringing shame on My holy name.

فَسَأُواجِهُهُ وَسَأعزِلُهُ مِنَ الشَّعبِ، لِأنَّهُ أعطَى مِنْ أولادِهِ لِلإلَهِ مُولَكَ فَنَجَّسَ مَكانِيَ المُقَدَّسَ، وَلَمْ يُكْرِمْ اسْمِي المُقَدَّسَ.

4 I f the people of the land close their eyes when a man gives any of his children to Molech, and do not put him to death,

لَكِنْ إنْ تَجاهَلَ شَعبُ الأرْضِ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي أعطَى مِنْ أولادِهِ لِلإلَهِ مُولَكَ فَلَمْ يَقتُلُوهُ،

5 t hen I Myself will go against that man and his family. They will not be numbered among God’s people, and all who follow him to sell themselves to Molech.

فَسَأُواجِهُ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ وَعائِلَتِهِ وَسَأعزِلُهُمْ مِنْ شَعبِهِمْ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ وَالَّذِينَ يَخُونُونَنِي وَيَسِيرُونَ وَراءَ الإلَهِ مُولَكَ.

6 ‘ I will go against the person who turns to those who speak with bad spirits and talk to the dead. In doing this, he sells himself to them. He will not be numbered among God’s people.

«إنْ خانَنِي أحَدٌ وَالتَجَأ لِلوُسَطاءِ وَالمُشَعوِذاتِ لِأجلِ النَّصِيحَةِ، فَسَأُواجِهُهُ وَسَأقطَعُهُ مِنَ الشَّعبِ.

7 S o you should set yourselves apart and be holy. For I am the Lord your God.

«كَرِّسُوا أنفُسَكُمْ وَكُونُوا قِدِّيسِينَ، لِأنِّي أنا إلَهُكُمْ.

8 K eep My Laws and live by them. I am the Lord Who sets you apart.

«احفَظُوا شَرائِعِي وَاعمَلُوا بِها. أنا اللهُ الَّذِي أُقَدِّسُكُمْ.

9 ‘ If there is anyone who curses his father or mother, he will for sure be put to death. Because he has cursed his father or mother, his blood will be on his own head.

«إنْ شَتَمَ أحَدٌ أباهُ أوْ أُمَّهُ فَيَنبَغِي أنْ يُعدَمَ. قَدْ شَتَمَ أباهُ وَأُمَّهُ، فَهُوَ مَسؤُولٌ عَنْ مَوتِهِ. عُقُوباتُ الخَطايا الجِنسِيَّة

10 ‘ If a man does sex sins with another man’s wife, even his friend’s wife, both the sinful man and woman must be put to death.

«إنْ زَنَى رَجُلٌ بِزَوجَةِ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ، فَإنَّهُ يَنبَغِي إعدامُ الرَّجُلِ وَالمَرأةِ اللَذينِ زَنَيا.

11 I f a man lies with his father’s wife, he has put his father to shame. Both of the guilty ones must be put to death. They will suffer for their own sin.

إنْ عاشَرَ رَجُلٌ زَوجَةَ أبِيهِ، فَإنَّهُ قَدْ جَلَبَ العارَ لِأبِيهِ. يَنبَغِي إعدامُ الرَّجُلِ وَالمَرأةِ. هُما مَسؤُولانِ عَنْ مَوتِهِما.

12 I f a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them must be put to death. They have done a bad sex sin. They will suffer for their own sin.

إنْ عاشَرَ رَجُلٌ كِنَّتَهُ، فَإنَّهُ يَنبَغِي إعدامُهُما. قَدِ ارتَكَبا انحِرافاً عَظِيماً. هُما مَسؤُولانِ عَنْ مَوتِهِما.

13 I f a man lies with a male as if he were a woman, both of them have done a very sinful act. They must be put to death. They will suffer for their own sin.

إنْ عاشَرَ رَجُلٌ رَجُلاً آخَرَ كَما يُعاشِرُ امْرأةً، فَإنَّ كِلَيهِما قَدْ عَمِلا خَطِيَّةً بَغِيضَةً، وَيَنبَغِي إعدامُهُما. هُما مَسؤُولانِ عَنْ مَوتِهِما.

14 I f a man marries a woman and her mother, it is sin. Both he and they will be burned with fire, so this kind of sin will not be among you.

إنْ تَزَوَّجَ رَجُلٌ امْرأةً وَأُمَّها، فَهَذا شَرٌّ. لِيَحْرِقْهُ الشَّعبُ هُوَ وَالمَرأتَينِ بِالنّارِ حَتَّى المَوتِ، لِئَلّا يَكُونَ هَذا الشَّرُّ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ.

15 I f a man lies with an animal, he must be put to death. Kill the animal also.

«الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يُعاشِرُ حَيَواناً يَنبَغِي إعدامُهُ، كَما يَنبَغِي أنْ تَقتُلُوا الحَيوانَ.

16 I f a woman goes near any animal to have sex with it, you must kill the woman and the animal. They must be put to death. They will suffer for their own sin.

وَإنْ عاشَرَتِ امْرأةٌ حَيواناً، فَيَنبَغِي إعدامُ المَرأةِ وَالحَيوانِ. يَنبَغِي قَتلُهُما. هُما مَسؤُولانِ عَنْ مَوتِهِما.

17 ‘ If a man takes his sister, his father’s or mother’s daughter, and he sees her without clothes on and she sees him, it is a shame. They will be punished in front of their people. He has taken off his sister’s clothes. He will suffer for his own sin.

«إنْ تَزَوَّجَ رَجُلٌ بِأُختِهِ غَيْرِ الشَّقِيقَةِ، ابْنَةِ أبِيهِ أوِ ابْنَةِ أُمِّهِ، فَعاشَرَها وَعاشَرَتْهُ، فَهَذا عارٌ. يَنبَغِي عَزلُهُما مِنْ شَعبِهِما أمامَ عائِلَتَيهِما. قَدْ عاشَرَ أُختَهُ، فَيَنبَغِي أنْ يُعاقَبَ عَلَى خَطِيَّتِهِ.

18 I f a man lies with a woman who has a flow of blood, and takes her clothes off, he has made her flow to show. And she has shown the flow of her blood. So both of them will not be numbered among God’s people.

إنْ عاشَرَ رَجُلٌ امْرأةً فِي فَترَةِ حَيضِها الشَّهرِيَّةِ فَكَشَفَ مَصدَرَ دَمِها، وَهِيَ كَشَفَتْ مَصدَرَ دَمِها، فَيَنبَغِي أنْ يُقطَعا مِنْ شَعبِهِما.

19 D o not take the clothes off your mother’s sister or father’s sister. For that is putting to shame one of your own family. They will suffer for their own sin.

«لا تُعاشِرْ أُختَ أُمِّكَ أوْ أُختَ أبِيكَ، لِأنَّهُما قَرِيبَتانِ مِنكَ. إنْ حَدَثَ هَذا يَنبَغِي أنْ يُعاقَبا عَلَى خَطِيَّتِهِما.

20 I f a man lies with the wife of his father’s or mother’s brother, he has put to shame his father’s or mother’s brother. They will suffer for their own sin. They will die without children.

إنْ عاشَرَ رَجُلٌ زَوجَةَ عَمِّهِ، فَإنَّهُ يَكُونُ قَدْ جَلَبَ العارَ عَلَى عَمِّهِ. يَنبَغِي أنْ يُعاقَبا عَلَى خَطِيَّتِهِما. سَيَمُوتانِ بِلا أولادٍ.

21 I f a man takes his brother’s wife, it is sin. He has put his brother to shame. They will have no children.

إنْ عاشَرَ رَجُلٌ زَوجَةَ أخِيهِ، فَهَذِهِ نَجاسَةٌ. قَدْ جَلَبَ العارَ لِأخِيهِ. سَيَمُوتانِ بِلا أولادٍ.

22 ‘ Keep all My Laws and do what I tell you, so the land where I am bringing you to live will not spit you out.

«احْفَظُوا كُلَّ شَرائِعِي وَأحكامِي وَاعْمَلُوا بِها لِئَلّا تَتَقَيَّأكُمُ الأرْضُ الَّتِي أقُودُكُمْ إلَيها.

23 D o not follow the ways of the nation which I am driving out before you. For they did all these things, and so I hated them.

لا تَسلُكُوا بِحَسَبِ عاداتِ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ سَأطرُدُهُمْ مِنَ الأرْضِ أمامَكُمْ، لِأنَّهُمْ عَمِلُوا هَذِهِ الخَطايا فَأبْغَضْتُهُمْ.

24 B ut I have said to you, “Their land will belong to you. I Myself will give it to you for your own, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am the Lord your God, Who has set you apart from all other peoples.

لَكِنِّي قُلْتُ لَكُمْ: سَتَمتَلِكُونَ أرْضَهُمْ، وَسَأُعطِيها لَكُمْ لِتَمتَلِكُوها، أرْضاً تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً. أنا إلَهُكُمْ. «قَدْ مَيَّزتُكُمْ عَنْ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ الأُخرَى.

25 Y ou are to know the difference between the clean animal and the animal that is unclean, and between the clean bird and the bird that is unclean. Do not make yourselves a sinful people with animal or bird or anything that moves on the ground, which I have set apart from you as being unclean.

فَيَنبَغِي أنْ تُمَيِّزُوا بَينَ الحَيواناتِ وَالطُّيُورِ الطّاهِرَةِ وَغَيرِ الطّاهِرَةِ. لا تُنَجِّسُوا أنفُسَكُمْ بِأنْ تَأكُلُوا حَيواناً أوْ طَيراً أوْ أيَّ كائِنٍ يَزحَفُ عَلَى الأرْضِ قَدِ اعتَبَرتُهُ نَجِساً لَكُمْ.

26 B e holy to Me, for I the Lord am holy. I have divided you from the nations, so you belong to Me.

كُونُوا قِدِّيسِينَ، لِأنِّي أنا اللهُ قُدُّوسٌ. قَدْ مَيَّزْتُكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ الشُّعُوبِ الأُخرَى لِتَكُونُوا لِي.

27 ‘ A man or woman who speaks with bad spirits or who talks to the dead must be put to death. They will be killed with stones. They will suffer for their own sin.’”

«أيُّ رَجُلٍ، أوِ امْرأةٍ، يُحاوِلُ اسْتِحْضارَ أرْواحِ المَوتَى، أوْ يَتَعامَلُ بِالسِّحرِ، يَنبَغِي إعدامُهُ. يَرجُمُهُ الشَّعبُ بِالحِجارَةِ حَتَّى المَوتِ. هُوَ مَسؤُولٌ عَنْ مَوتِهِ.»
