1 Y ou shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide yourself from them. You shall surely bring them again to your brother.

«لا يَنبَغِي أنْ تَرَى ثَورَ صاحِبَكَ أوْ خَرُوفَهُ ضالّاً وَتَتَجاهَلهُ، بَلْ يَنْبَغِي أنْ تُعِيدَهُ إلَيهِ.

2 I f your brother isn’t near to you, or if you don’t know him, then you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall be with you until your brother comes looking for it, and you shall restore it to him.

وَإنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ صاحِبُهُ يَسكُنُ قَرِيباً مِنكَ وَأنتَ لا تَعرِفُهُ، فَأحْضِرْهُ إلَى بَيتِكَ وَاحتَفِظْ بِهِ حَتَّى يَأتِيَ صاحِبُهُ باحِثاً عَنهُ. حِينَئِذٍ تُعِيدُهُ إليهِ.

3 S o you shall do with his donkey. So you shall do with his garment. So you shall do with every lost thing of your brother’s, which he has lost, and you have found. You may not hide yourself.

وَهَكَذا تَفعَلُ إنْ وَجَدْتَ حِمارَ صاحِبِكَ أوْ ثِيابَهُ أوْ أيَّ شَيءٍ ضاعَ مِنهُ. فَلا تَتَجاهَلِ الأمرَ.

4 Y ou shall not see your brother’s donkey or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide yourself from them. You shall surely help him to lift them up again.

«إذا رَأيتَ حِمارَ صاحِبَكَ أوْ ثَورَهُ راقِداً فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَلا تَتَجاهَلهُ، بَلْ ساعِدْ صاحِبَهُ عَلَى رَفعِهِ.

5 A woman shall not wear men’s clothing, neither shall a man put on women’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh your God.

«لا يَنبَغِي أنْ تَرتَدِيَ المَرأةُ ثِيابَ رَجُلٍ، وَلا الرَّجُلُ ثِيابَ امْرأةٍ. مَنْ يَفعَلُ هَذا يَمْقُتُهُ إلَهُكَ.

6 I f you come across a bird’s nest on the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the hen sitting on the young, or on the eggs, you shall not take the hen with the young.

«إنْ وَجَدْتَ وَأنتَ تَمشِي عُشَّ طَيرٍ عَلَى شَجَرَةٍ أوْ عَلَى الأرْضِ وَفِيهِ فِراخٌ أوْ بَيضٌ، وَالأُمُّ تَرقُدُ عَلَى صِغارِها أوْ عَلَى البَيضِ، فَلا تَأخُذِ الأُمَّ مَعَ الفِراخِ،

7 Y ou shall surely let the hen go, but the young you may take for yourself; that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days.

بَلِ اسْمَحْ لِلأُمَّ بِالذَّهابِ، ثُمَّ خُذِ الفِراخَ، لِكَي يَكُونَ لَكَ خَيرٌ وَتَعِيشَ زَمَناً طَوِيلاً.

8 W hen you build a new house, then you shall make a railing around your roof, so that you don’t bring blood on your house if anyone falls from there.

«إذا بَنَيتَ بَيتاً جَدِيداً، فابْنِ سُوراً حَولَ سَطحِهِ، فَلا تُحْسَبُ مُذنِباً إنْ سَقَطَ مِنْ عَلَى سَطحِ بَيتِكَ وَماتَ.

9 Y ou shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest all the fruit be defiled, the seed which you have sown, and the increase of the vineyard.

«لا تَزرَعْ كَرْمَ العِنَبِ بِالحُبُوبِ، لِأنَّكَ تَخْسَرُ بَذَلِكَ غَلَّةَ العِنَبِ وَمَحْصُولَ الحُبُوبِ كِلَيهِما.

10 Y ou shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.

«لا تَحرُثْ عَلَى ثَورٍ وَحِمارٍ مَعاً.

11 Y ou shall not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.

«لا تَرتَدِي ثِياباً مِنسُوجَةً مِنَ الصُّوفِ وَالكِتّانِ مَعاً.

12 Y ou shall make yourselves fringes on the four corners of your cloak with which you cover yourself.

«وَضَعْ أهداباً عَلَى الزَّوايا الأربَعَةِ لِثَوبِكَ الَّذِي تَتَغَطَّى بِهِ. شَرائِعُ لَلزَّواج

13 I f any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, hates her,

«إنْ تَزَوَّجَ رَجُلٌ امْرأةً وَعاشَرَها، ثُمَّ كَرِهَها،

14 a ccuses her of shameful things, and gives her a bad name, and says, “I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I didn’t find in her the tokens of virginity”;

وَاتَّهَمَها بِسُوءِ السُّلُوكِ، وَذَمَّها فَقالَ: ‹تَزَوَّجتُ هَذِهِ الفَتاةَ، وَلَكِنْ حِينَ عاشَرْتُها، وَجَدْتُ أنَّها لَيسَتْ عَذراءَ!›

15 t hen the young lady’s father and mother shall take and bring the tokens of the young lady’s virginity to the elders of the city in the gate.

فَإنَّ عَلَى أبِيها وَأُمِّها أنْ يُحضِرا دَلِيلاً عَلَى عُذْريَّتِها إلَى شُيُوخِ المَدِينَةِ عِندَ البَوّابَةِ.

16 T he young lady’s father shall tell the elders, “I gave my daughter to this man as his wife, and he hates her.

وَيَقُولُ أبُو الفَتاةِ لِلشُّيُوخِ: ‹أعطَيتُ ابْنَتِي لِهَذا الرَّجُلِ زَوجَةً لَهُ، لَكِنَّهُ كَرِهَها.

17 B ehold, he has accused her of shameful things, saying, ‘I didn’t find in your daughter the tokens of virginity;’ and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity.” They shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

وَقَدِ اتَّهَمَها بِسُوءِ السُّلُوكِ فَقالَ: وَجَدتُ أنَّ ابْنَتَكَ لَيسَتْ عَذراءَ. وَلَكِنْ هَذا هُوَ دَلِيلُ عُذْريَّتِها.› ثُمَّ يَبسُطُ الثَّوبَ أمامَ شُيُوخِ المَدِينَةِ.

18 T he elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him.

حِينَئِذٍ، يَأخُذُ شُيُوخُ تِلكَ المَدِينَةِ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ وَيُؤَدِّبُوهُ.

19 T hey shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the young lady, because he has given a bad name to a virgin of Israel. She shall be his wife. He may not put her away all his days.

وَيَفْرِضُونَ عَلَيهِ غَرامَةً مِقدارُها مِئَةُ مِثْقالٍ مِنَ الفِضَّةِ، يُعطُونَها لِأبِي الفَتاةِ، لِأنَّ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ شَوَّهَ سُمعَةَ عَذراءٍ فِي إسْرائِيلَ. وَسَتَبقَى زَوجَةً لَهُ، وَلَنْ يَستَطِيعَ أنْ يُطَلِّقَها مَدَى حَياتِهِ.

20 B ut if this thing is true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the young lady;

«وَلَكِنْ إنْ كانَتِ التُّهمَةُ صَحِيحَةً، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ هُناكَ دَلِيلٌ عَلَى عُذْرِيَّةِ الفَتاةِ،

21 t hen they shall bring out the young lady to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done folly in Israel, to play the prostitute in her father’s house. So you shall remove the evil from among you.

فَليُؤتَ بِها إلَى بابِ بَيتِ أبِيها. حَيثُ يَرجُمُها رِجالُ المَدِينَةِ حَتَّى المَوتِ، لِأنَّها ارتَكَبَتْ عَمَلاً مُشِيناً فِي إسْرائِيلَ، إذْ أقامَتْ عَلاقَةً جِنسيَّةً قَبلَ الزَّواجِ، وَهِيَ فِي بَيتِ أبِيها. وَهَكَذا تُزِيلُونَ الشَّرَّ مِنْ وَسَطِ شَعبِكُمْ. عقوباتُ الزِّنَى وَالاغتِصاب

22 I f a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both die, the man who lay with the woman and the woman. So you shall remove the evil from Israel.

«إنْ عاشَرَ رَجُلٌ زَوجَةَ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ، تَقتُلُونَهُما كِلَيهِما: الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي عاشَرَ المَرأةَ، وَالمَرأةَ نَفْسَها. هَكَذا تُزِيلُونَ الشَّرَّ مِنْ إسْرائِيلَ.

23 I f there is a young lady who is a virgin pledged to be married to a husband, and a man finds her in the city, and lies with her;

«إنْ وَجَدَ رَجُلٌ امْرأةً مَخطُوبَةً فِي المَدِينَةِ وَعاشَرَها،

24 t hen you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones; the lady, because she didn’t cry, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor’s wife. So you shall remove the evil from among you.

يَنبَغِي أنْ تُحضِرُوهُما مَعاً إلَى بَوّابَةِ المَدِينَةِ، وَأنْ تَرجُمُوهُما حَتَّى المَوتِ. تَرجُمُونَ الفَتاةَ لِأنَّها لَمْ تَصْرُخْ لِطَلَبِ المُساعَدَةِ مِنْ أهلِ المَدِينَةِ، وَتَرجُمُونَ الرَّجُلَ لِأنَّهُ أهانَ زَوجَةَ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ. وَهَكَذا تُزِيلُونَ الشَّرَّ مِنْ وَسَطِكُمْ.

25 B ut if the man finds the lady who is pledged to be married in the field, and the man forces her, and lies with her; then only the man who lay with her shall die;

«لَكِنْ إنْ وَجَدَ الرَّجُلُ الفَتاةَ المَخطُوبَةَ فِي الخَلاءِ، وَاغتَصَبَها، فَإنَّ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي اضطَجَعَ مَعَها هُوَ وَحْدَهُ الَّذِي يَنبَغي أنْ يَمُوتَ.

26 b ut to the lady you shall do nothing. There is in the lady no sin worthy of death; for as when a man rises against his neighbor, and kills him, even so is this matter;

فَلا تُعاقِبُوا الفَتاةَ لِأنَّها لَمْ تَرتَكِبْ خَطِيَّةً تَستَحِقُّ المَوتَ. فَهَذِهِ الحالَةُ تُشبِهُ حالَةَ رَجُلٍ يُمسِكُ بِآخَرَ وَيَقتُلُهُ،

27 f or he found her in the field, the pledged to be married lady cried, and there was no one to save her.

إذْ قَدْ وَجَدَها فِي الخَلاءِ. وَرُبَّما تَكُونُ قَدْ صَرَخَتْ طَلَباً لِلمُساعَدَةِ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أحَدٌ لِيُساعِدَها.

28 I f a man finds a lady who is a virgin, who is not pledged to be married, grabs her, and lies with her, and they are found;

«وَإنْ وَجَدَ رَجُلٌ فَتاةً عَذراءَ غَيرَ مَخطُوبَةٍ، وَأجبَرَها عَلَى مُعاشَرَتِهِ، ثُمَّ اكتُشِفا،

29 t hen the man who lay with her shall give to the lady’s father fifty shekels of silver. She shall be his wife, because he has humbled her. He may not put her away all his days.

فَإنَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي اغْتَصَبَها أنْ يُعطِيَ أبا الفَتاةِ خَمْسِينَ مِثْقالاً مِنَ الفِضَّةِ. وَأمّا هِيَ، فَتُصبِحُ زَوجَةً لَهُ. وَلِأنَّهُ أذَلَّها، لَنْ يَستَطِيعَ أنْ يُطَلِّقَها.

30 A man shall not take his father’s wife, and shall not uncover his father’s skirt.

«لا يَجُوزُ لِأحَدٍ أنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ زَوجَةَ أبِيهِ، لِأنَّ هَذا سَيُعِيبُ أباهُ.
