1 Y ahweh said to Moses,

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى:

2 “ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘I am Yahweh your God.

«قُلْ لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ: أنا إلَهُكُمْ.

3 Y ou shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived: and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. You shall not follow their statutes.

فَلا تَعمَلُوا الأشياءَ الَّتِي كانَتْ تُعمَلُ فِي أرْضِ مِصرَ حَيثُ كُنتُمْ تَسكُنُونَ. وَلا تَعمَلُوا الأُمُورَ الَّتِي تُعمَلُ فِي أرْضِ كَنعانَ حَيثُ سَأُحضِرُكُمْ. وَلا تَعِيشُوا بِحَسَبِ شَرائِعِهِمْ،

4 Y ou shall do my ordinances, and you shall keep my statutes, and walk in them: I am Yahweh your God.

بَلِ احْفَظُوا أحكامِي وَاعْمَلُوا بِشَرائِعِي، لِكَي تَحيُوا بِها. أنا إلَهُكُمْ.

5 Y ou shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances; which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am Yahweh.

احفَظُوا شَرائِعِي وَأحكامِي، لأنَّ الإنسانَ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ ذَلِكَ يَحيا. أنا اللهُ.

6 “ ‘None of you shall approach anyone who are his close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am Yahweh.

«لا يُعاشِرْ أحَدٌ امْرأةً لَهُ بِها صِلَةُ قَرابَةٍ شَدِيدَةٌ. أنا اللهُ.

7 “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, nor the nakedness of your mother: she is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness.

لا تَأتِيَ بِالعارِ لِأبِيكَ بِأنْ تُعاشِرَ أُمَّكَ! إنَّها أُمُّكَ! فَلا تُعاشِرْها.

8 “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife. It is your father’s nakedness.

لا تُعاشِرْ زَوجَةَ أبِيكَ، فَهَذا يَأتِي بِالعارِ إلَى أبِيكَ.

9 “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home, or born abroad.

لا تُعاشِرْ أُختَكَ، لا بِنتَ أُمِّكَ وَلا بِنتَ أبِيكَ، إنْ كانَتْ قَدْ وُلِدَتْ فِي نَفسِ البَيتِ أوْ فِي بَيتٍ آخَرَ.

10 “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness: for theirs is your own nakedness.

لا تُعاشِرِ ابْنَةَ ابْنِكَ أوِ ابْنَةَ ابْنَتِكَ لِأنَّ هَذا سَيَأتِي بِالعارِ عَلَيكَ.

11 “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, conceived by your father, since she is your sister.

لا تُعاشِرِ ابْنَةَ زَوجَةَ أبِيكَ الَّتِي أنجَبَتْها مِنْ أبِيكَ، فَهِيَ أُختُكَ.

12 “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister: she is your father’s near kinswoman.

لا تُعاشِرْ أُختَ أبِيكَ، فَهِيَ قَرِيبَةٌ جِدّاً لِأبِيكَ.

13 “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister: for she is your mother’s near kinswoman.

لا تُعاشِرْ أُختَ أُمِّكَ، فَهِيَ قَرِيبَةٌ جِدّاً لِأُمِّكَ.

14 “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother, you shall not approach his wife. She is your aunt.

لا تُعاشِرْ زَوجَةَ عَمِّكَ، فَهَذا يَأتِي بِالعارِ عَلَى عَمِّكَ، إنَّها عَمَّتُكَ.

15 “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law: she is your son’s wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.

لا تُعاشِرْ كِنَّتَكَ. إنَّها زَوجَةُ ابْنِكَ، فَلا تُعاشِرْها.

16 “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife. It is your brother’s nakedness.

لا تُعاشِرِ ابْنَةَ زَوجَةِ أخِيكَ، فَهَذا يَأتِي بِالعارِ عَلَى أخِيكَ.

17 “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness.

لا تُعاشِرِ امْرأةً وَابْنَتَها. وَلا تَتَزَوَّجْ وَتُعاشِرِ ابْنَةَ ابْنِها أوِ ابْنَةَ ابْنَتِها. إنَّهُما قَرِيبَتانِ جِدّاً لَها. هَذا شَرٌّ.

18 “ ‘You shall not take a wife to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is yet alive.

لا تَتَزَوَّجْ أُخْتَ زَوجَتِكَ وَتُعاشِرْها بَينَما أُختُها حَيَّةً.

19 “ ‘You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.

لا تُعاشِرِ امْرَأتَكَ فِي فَترَةِ حَيضِها الشَّهرِيَّةِ إذْ تَكُونُ نَجِسَةً.

20 “ ‘You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, and defile yourself with her.

لا تُعاشِرْ زَوجَةَ جارِكَ فَتُنَجِّسَ نَفسَكَ بِها.

21 “ ‘You shall not give any of your children to sacrifice to Molech. You shall not profane the name of your God. I am Yahweh.

«لا تَسمَحْ بِأنْ يُعطَى أحَدُ أولادِكَ لِيُذبَحَ لِلإلَهِ مُولَكَ. لا تُنَجِّسِ اسْمَ إلَهِكَ بِعَمَلِ هَذا. أنا اللهُ.

22 “ ‘You shall not lie with a man, as with a woman. That is detestable.

«لا تُعاشِرْ ذَكَراً كَما تَفعَلُ مَعَ امْرأةٍ. هَذِهِ نَجاسَةٌ.

23 “ ‘You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it. No woman may give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.

لا تُعاشِرْ حَيواناً فَتَتَنَجَّسَ بِهِ. وَلا تُعاشِرِ المَرأةُ حَيواناً. فَهَذا أمْرٌ بَغيضٌ جِدّاً.

24 “ ‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.

«لا تَتَنَجَّسُوا بَأيٍّ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأعمالِ، لِأنَّ الأُمَمَ الَّتِي سَأطرُدُها مِنْ أمامِكُمْ يُنَجِّسُونَ أنفُسَهُمْ بِها،

25 T he land was defiled: therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.

حَتَّى صارَتِ الأرْضُ نَجِسَةً. لِذا سَأُعاقِبُها عَلَى خَطايا الشَّعبِ الَّذِي يَعِيشُ فِيها، كَي تَطرُدَ الأرْضُ السّاكِنِينَ فِيها.

26 Y ou therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you;

«احْفَظُوا شَرائِعِي وَأحكامِي، وَلا تَعمَلُوا كُلَّ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ البَغِيضَةِ. لا المُواطِنُ وَلا الغَرِيبُ السّاكِنُ بَينَكُمْ.

27 ( for the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled);

لِأنَّ الَّذِينَ عاشُوا فِي الأرْضِ قَبلَكُمْ عَمِلُوا كُلَّ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ البَغِيضَةِ، فَصارَتِ الأرْضُ نَجِسَةً.

28 t hat the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

فَهَكَذا أيضاً سَتَطرُدُكُمُ الأرْضُ بِسَبَبِ تَنْجِيسِكُمْ إيَّاها، كَما طَرَدَتِ الأُمَمَ الَّتِي كانَتْ مِنْ قَبلِكُمْ.

29 “ ‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.

فَكُلُّ مَنْ يَعمَلُ شَيئاً مِنْ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ البَغِيضَةِ، يُقطَعُ مِنْ شَعبِهِ.

30 T herefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs, which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them. I am Yahweh your God.’”

احفَظُوا وَصِيَّتِي، فَلا تَعمَلُوا أيّاً مِنَ الأُمُورِ البَغِيضَةِ الَّتِي عُمِلَتْ قَبلَكُمْ. لا تُنَجِّسُوا أنفُسَكُمْ بِعَمَلِ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ. أنا إلَهُكُمْ.»
