Chapter: 011

V 001 Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.
V 002 And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,
V 003 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
V 004 And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day;
V 005 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place;
V 006 And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:
V 007 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.
V 008 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;
V 009 And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
V 010 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
V 011 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
V 012 A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
V 013 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
V 014 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
V 015 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.
V 016 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
V 017 And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.
V 018 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
V 019 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
V 020 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
V 021 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
V 022 For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;
V 023 Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.
V 024 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
V 025 There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
V 026 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
V 027 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
V 028 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
V 029 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.
V 030 Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?
V 031 For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.
V 032 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.
 

فصل 11

الإِيصاء بمحبة الله

1- َأَحِبُّوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ وَحَافِظُوا عَلَى حُقُوقِهِ، وَأَطِيعُوا فَرَائِضَهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ وَوَصَايَاهُ دَائِماً.  
2- وَاعْلَمُوا الْيَوْمَ أَنَّ حَدِيثِي لَيْسَ مُوَجَّهاً لأَبْنَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا وَلاَ اخْتَبَرُوا تَأْدِيبَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَلاَ شَهِدُوا عَظَمَتَهُ وَقُوَّتَهُ الشَّدِيدَةَ وَقُدْرَتَهُ الْفَائِقَةَ،  
3- وَلاَ آيَاتِهِ وَمُعْجِزَاتِهِ الَّتِي أَجْرَاهَا فِي مِصْرَ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَعَلَى أَرْضِهِ،  
4- وَالَّتِي صَنَعَهَا بِجَيْشِ مِصْرَ وَخَيْلِهِمْ وَمَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ، حَيْثُ جَعَلَ مِيَاهَ الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ تَغْمُرُهُمْ حِينَ سَعَوْا وَرَاءَكُمْ، فَأَهْلَكَهُمُ الرَّبُّ.  
5- وَالَّتِي عَمِلَهَا لَكُمْ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ حَتَّى وَصَلْتُمْ إِلَى هَذَا الْمَكَانِ،  
6- وَا لَّتِي أَنْزَلَهَا بِدَاثَانَ وَأَبِيرَامَ ابْنَيْ أَلِيآبَ مِنْ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ، اللَّذَيْنِ انْشَقَّتِ الأَرْضُ وَابْتَلَعَتْهُمَا مَعَ عَائِلَتَيْهِمَا وَخِيَامِهِمَا وَمُمْتَلَكَاتِهِمَا، عَلَى مَشْهَدِ كُلِّ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ،  
7- بَلْ لَكُمْ خَاصَّةً لأَنَّ أَعْيُنَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ هِيَ الَّتِي شَهِدَتْ عَظَائِمَ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي أَجْرَاهَا.

 

الأمر بحفظ الوصايا

8- لِهَذَا أَطِيعُوا كُلَّ الْوَصَايَا الَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِهَا الْيَوْمَ، لِتَكُونَ لَدَيْكُمُ الْقُوَّةُ لِدُخُولِ وَامْتِلاَكِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ مَاضُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِتَرِثُوهَا،  
9- وَلِكَيْ تُطِيلُوا أَيَّامَكُمْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَقْسَمَ الرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكُمْ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهَا لَهُمْ وَلِنَسْلِهِمْ، أَرْضٍ تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً.  
10- لأَنَّ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي تُوْشِكُونَ الدُّخُولَ إِلَيْهَا ِلامْتِلاَكِهَا لاَ تُمَاثِلُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ الَّتِي خَرَجْتُمْ مِنْهَا، حَيْثُ كُنْتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَ زَرْعَكُمْ وَتَرْوُونَهُ (بِفَتْحِ سُدُودِ الْقَنَوَاتِ الصَّغِيرَةِ) بِأَرْجُلِكُمْ، وَكَأَنَّهُ بُسْتَانُ بُقُولٍ.  
11- بَلِ الأَرْضُ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ مُقْبِلُونَ عَلَيْهَا لاِمْتِلاَكِهَا هِيَ أَرْضُ جِبَالٍ وَأَوْدِيَةٍ، تَرْتَوِي مِنْ مَطَرِ السَّمَاءِ.  
12- أَرْضٌ يَعْتَنِي بِهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، إذْ تَرْعَاهَا عَيْنَاهُ دَائِماً مِنْ أَوَّلِ السَّنَةِ حَتَّى آخِرِهَا.

13- فَإِذَا أَطَعْتُمُ الْوَصَايَا الَّتِي أُوصِيكُمْ بِهَا الْيَوْمَ، وَأَحْبَبْتُمُ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ وَعَبَدْتُمُوهُ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ نُفُوسِكُمْ،  
14- فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَسْكُبُ عَلَى أَرْضِكُمُ الْمَطَرَ الْمُبَكِّرَ وَالْمُتَأَخِّرَ فِي أَوَانِهِ، فَتَجْمَعُونَ حِنْطَتَكُمْ وَخَمْرَكُمْ، وَزَيْتَكُمْ،  
15- وَيُنْبِتُ لِبَهَائِمِكُمْ عُشْباً فِي حُقُولِكُمْ، فَتَأْكُلُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَتَشْبَعُونَ.  
16- وَلَكِنْ إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَغْوِيَ قُلُوبُكُمْ فَتَزِيغُوا وَتَعْبُدُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَتَسْجُدُوا لَهَا،  
17- فَيَحْتَدِمُ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَيُوْصِدُ السَّمَاءَ، وَيَمْنَعُ الْمَطَرَ عَنِ الانْهِمَارِ، فَتُجْدِبُ الأَرْضُ وَلاَ تُغِلُّ فَتَفْنَوْنَ سَرِيعاً عَنِ الأَرْضِ الْخَصِيبَةِ الَّتِي وَهَبَهَا لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ.

 

تعليم الأبناء الوصايا

18- فَثَبِّتُوا كَلِمَاتِي هَذِهِ عَلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ، وَارْبُطُوهَا عَلاَمَةً عَلَى أَيْدِيكُمْ، وَاعْصِبُوا بِهَا جِبَاهَكُمْ،  
19- وَعَلِّمُوهَا لأَوْلاَدِكُمْ، وَتَحَدَّثُوا بِهَا حِينَ تَكُونُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ، وَحِينَ تَسِيرُونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَحِينَ تَأْوُونَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكُمْ، وَحِينَ تَنْهَضُونَ،  
20- وَاكْتُبُوهَا عَلَى قَوَائِمِ أَبْوَابِ بُيُوتِكُمْ وَبَوَّابَاتِ مُدُنِكُمْ،  
21- لِكَيْ تَطُولَ أَيَّامُكُمْ وَأَيَّامُ أَوْلاَدِكُمْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي حَلَفَ الرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكُمْ أَنْ يَهَبَهَا لَهُمْ، فَتَكُونَ فِي كَثْرَتِهَا كَأَيَّامِ السَّمَاءِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ.  
22- لأَنَّهُ إِذَا أَطَعْتُمْ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الْوَصَايَا الَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِهَا لِتُمَارِسُوهَا، وَأَحْبَبْتُمُ الرَّبَّ وَسَلَكْتُمْ فِي جَمِيعِ سُبُلِهِ وَتَمَسَّكْتُمْ بِهِ،  
23- يَطْرُدُ الرَّبُّ جَمِيعَ تِلْكَ الأُمَمِ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ، فَتَرِثُونَ شُعُوباً أَكْبَرَ وَأَعْظَمَ مِنْكُمْ.  
24- وَكُلُّ مَوْضِعٍ تَطَأُهُ أَقْدَامُكُمْ يُصْبِحُ لَكُمْ، فَتَكُونُ حُدُودُكُمْ مِنَ الصَّحْرَاءِ فِي الْجَنُوبِ إِلَى لُبْنَانَ، وَمِنْ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ الأَبْيَضِ الْمُتَوَسِّطِ غَرْباً.  
25- وَلاَ يَجْرُؤُ إِنْسَانٌ أَنْ يُقَاوِمَكُمْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يَجْعَلُ الْخَوْفَ وَالرُّعْبَ مِنْكُمْ يَسُودَانِ عَلَى كُلِّ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي تَطَأُونَهَا، كَمَا وَعَدَكُمْ.

 

بركة ولعنة

26- انْظُرُوا هَا أَنَا أُخَيِّرُكُمُ الْيَوْمَ بَيْنَ الْبَرَكَةِ وَاللَّعْنَةِ:  
27- الْبَرَكَةُ لَكُمْ إِنْ أَطَعْتُمْ وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمُ الَّتِي أَنَا أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِهَا الْيَوْمَ،  
28- وَاللَّعْنَةُ إِنْ عَصَيْتُمْ وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَضَلَلْتُمْ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِهَا الْيَوْمَ، وَغَوَيْتُمْ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى غَرِيبَةٍ عَنْكُمْ.  
29- إِذَا أَتَى بِكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي تُوشِكُونَ الدُّخُولَ إِلَيْهَا ِلامْتِلاَكِهَا، فَأَعْلِنُوا الْبَرَكَةَ مِنْ عَلَى جَبَلِ جِرِزِّيمَ، وَاللَّعْنَةَ مِنْ عَلَى جَبَلِ عِيبَالَ.  
30- أَوَ لَيْسَ هُمَا فِي غَرْبِيِّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، وَرَاءَ الطَّرِيقِ الْمُتَّجِهَةِ نَحْوَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ فِي أَرْضِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ الْمُسْتَوْطِنِينَ فِي الْعَرَبَةِ مُقَابِلَ الْجِلْجَالِ عِنْدَ بَلُّوطَاتِ مُورَةَ؟  
31- لأَنَّكُمْ عَابِرُونَ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ لِتَدْخُلُوا ِلامْتِلاَكِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، فَتَرِثُونَهَا وَتُقِيمُونَ فِيهَا.  
32- فَأَطِيعُوا جَمِيعَ الْفَرَائِضِ وَالأَحْكَامِ الَّتِي سَنَنْتُهَا الْيَوْمَ أَمَامَكُمْ لِتُمَارِسُوهَا.

Chapter: 012

V 001 These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
V 002 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
V 003 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
V 004 Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.
V 005 But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:
V 006 And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:
V 007 And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.
V 008 Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
V 009 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you.
V 010 But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;
V 011 Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:
V 012 And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
V 013 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:
V 014 But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
V 015 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
V 016 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
V 017 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:
V 018 But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.
V 019 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.
V 020 When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
V 021 If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
V 022 Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.
V 023 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
V 024 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.
V 025 Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.
V 026 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose:
V 027 And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.
V 028 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.
V 029 When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
V 030 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
V 031 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
V 032 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

مذبح واحد للقرابين والمحرقات

ِ1- الَيْكُمُ الْفَرَائِضَ وَالأَحْكَامَ الَّتِي عَلَيْكُمْ مُمَارَسَتُهَا فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبَهَا لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِكُمْ لِتَرِثُوهَا كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكُمْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ:  
2- دَمِّرُوا جَمِيعَ الأَمَاكِنِ الَّتِي تَرِثُونَهَا، حَيْثُ عَبَدَتِ الأُمَمُ آلِهَتَهَا، سَوَاءٌ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ الشَّامِخَةِ أَمْ عَلَى التِّلاَلِ أَمْ تَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ،  
3- وَاهْدِمُوا مَذَابِحَهُمْ، وَحَطِّمُوا أَنْصَابَهُمْ، وَأَحْرِقُوا سَوَارِيَهُمْ. فَتِّتُوا تَمَاثِيلَ آلِهَتِهِمْ وَامْحُوا أَسْمَاءَهُمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ،  
4- وَلاَ تُمَارِسُوا أَسَالِيبَهُمْ عِنْدَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ،  
5- بَلِ اطْلُبُوا الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ وَسَطَ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ لِيَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ اسْمَهُ، وَيَكُونَ مَقَرَّ سُكْنَاهُ. إِلَيْهِ تَذْهَبُونَ،  
6- وَتُقَدِّمُونَ مُحْرَقَاتِكُمْ وَذَبَائِحَكُمْ وَعُشُورَكُمْ وَتَقْدِمَاتِكُمْ وَنُذُورَكُمْ وَقَرَابِينَكُمُ الطَّوْعِيَّةَ وَأَبْكَارَ بَقَرِكُمْ وَغَنَمِكُمْ،  
7- فَتَأْكُلُونَ هُنَاكَ أَنْتُمْ وَعَائِلاَتُكُمْ لَدَى الرَّبِّ، وَتَفْرَحُونَ بِكُلِّ مَا تَمْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِ أَيْدِيكُمْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ قَدْ بَارَكَكُمْ.

8- لاَ يَصْنَعْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ مَا يَسْتَحْسِنُهُ كَمَا هُوَ حَادِثٌ الْيَوْمَ،  
9- لأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَدْخُلُوا بَعْدُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ الرَّاحَةِ وَالْمِيرَاثِ الَّذِي يَهَبُهُ لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.  
10- وَلَكِنْ مَتَى اجْتَزْتُمْ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ وَاسْتَوْطَنْتُمُ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي وَهَبَهَا لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، وَأَرَاحَكُمْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِكُمُ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِكُمْ، وَسَكَنْتُمْ آمِنِينَ،  
11- فَاحْمِلُوا جَمِيعَ مَا أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِهِ مِنْ مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَذَبَائِحَ وَعُشُورٍ وَتَقْدِمَاتِ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَقَرَابِينَ طَوْعِيَّةٍ، الَّتِي تُنْذِرُونَهَا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لِيُحِلَّ فِيهِ اسْمَهُ،  
12- وَهُنَاكَ احْتَفِلُوا أَنْتُمْ وَبَنُوكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمْ وَعَبِيدُكُمْ وَإِمَاؤُكُمْ وَاللاَّوِيُّ الْمُقِيمُ فِي جِوَارِكُمْ، لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ نَصِيبٌ أَوْ مِيرَاثٌ خَاصٌّ بِهِ.

13- إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تُقَدِّمُوا مُحْرَقَاتِكُمْ فِي أَيِّ مَكَانٍ تَرْغَبُونَ فِيهِ،  
14- إِنَّمَا تُصْعِدُونَ مُحْرَقَاتِكُمْ وَتُمَارِسُونَ مَا أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِهِ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ فِي أَرْضِ أَحَدِ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ.

15- اذْبَحُوا فِي أَيٍّ مِنْ مُدُنِكُمْ أَيّاً مِنَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ، وَكُلُوا مِنْ لُحُومِهَا بِقَدْرِ مَا تَشَاؤُونَ كَالظَّبْيِ وَالأُيَّلِ حَسَبَ بَرَكَةِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ. يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا الإِنْسَانُ الطَّاهِرُ وَالنَّجِسُ عَلَى حَدٍّ سَوَاءٍ.  
16- وَأَمَّا الدَّمُ فَلاَ تَأْكُلُوهُ، بَلِ اسْكُبُوهُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ كَمَا تَسْكُبُونَ الْمَاءَ،  
17- احْذَرُوا أَنْ تَأْكُلُوا فِي مُدُنِكُمْ عُشُورَ حِنْطَتِكُمْ وَخَمْرِكُمْ وَزَيْتِكُمْ، وَلاَ أَبْكَارَ بَقَرِكُمْ وَغَنَمِكُمْ، وَلاَ شَيْئاً مِنْ نُذُورِكُمْ أَوْ قَرَابِينِكُمُ الطَّوْعِيَّةِ وَتَقْدِمَاتِ أَيْدِيكُمْ.  
18- بَلْ تَأْكُلُونَهَا أَنْتُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمْ وَعَبِيدُكُمْ وَإِمَاؤُكُمْ وَاللاَّوِيُّونَ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي جِوَارِكُمْ لَدَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، وَتَحْتَفِلُونَ أَمَامَهُ بِكُلِّ مَا تَمْتَلِكُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ  
19- إِيَّاكُمْ إِهْمَالَ اللاَّوِيِّينَ طَوَالَ بَقَائِكُمْ عَلَى أَرْضِكُمْ.

20- وَإِذَا وَسَّعَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ حُدُودَ أَرْضِكُمْ كَمَا وَعَدَكُمْ، وَاشْتَهَتْ أَنْفُسُكُمُ اللَّحْمَ، وَقُلْتُمْ: نَوَدُّ أَكْلَ اللَّحْمِ. فَمِنْ كُلِّ مَا تَشْتَهِيهِ أَنْفُسُكُمْ مِنَ اللَّحْمِ كُلُوا.  
21- وَإِذَا كَانَ الْمَوْضِعُ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لِيَضَعَ فِيهِ اسْمَهُ بَعِيداً عَنْ مَكَانِ سُكْنَى بَعْضِكُمْ، فَاذْبَحُوا مِنْ بَقَرِكُمْ وَغَنَمِكُمُ الَّتِي أَنْعَمَ بِهَا الرَّبُّ عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَا أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ، وَكُلُوا فِي مُدُنِكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا اشْتَهَتْهُ أَنْفُسُكُمْ  
22- كُلُوهُ كَمَا يُؤْكَلُ الظَّبْيُ وَالأُيَّلُ. يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ الإِنْسَانُ الطَّاهِرُ وَالنَّجِسُ عَلَى حَدٍّ سَوَاءٍ.  
23- لَكِنْ إِيَّاكُمْ وَأَكْلَ الدَّمِ، لأَنَّ الدَّمَ هُوَ النَّفْسُ. فَلاَ تَأْكُلُوا النَّفْسَ مَعَ اللَّحْمِ.  
24- لاَ تَأْكُلُوا مِنْهُ بَلِ اسْكُبُوهُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ كَمَا يُسْكَبُ الْمَاءُ.  
25- لاَ تَأْكُلُوهُ، لِتَنْعَمُوا أَنْتُمْ وَأَوْلاَدُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ بِالْخَيْرِ، إِذْ صَنَعْتُمُ الْحَقَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ اللهِ.  
26- أَمَّا مَا تُقَدِّسُونَهُ مِنْ أَشْيَاءَ، وَنُذُورُكُمْ فَتَحْمِلُونَهَا وَتَمْضُونَ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ  
27- فَتُقَدِّمُونَ مُحْرَقَاتِكُمُ، اللَّحْمَ وَالدَّمَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، فَيُسْكَبُ دَمُهَا عَلَى مَذْبَحِ الرَّبِّ. أَمَّا اللَّحْمُ فَتَأْكُلُونَهُ.  
28- فَاحْفَظُوا وَأَطِيعُوا جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الْوَصَايَا الَّتِي أَنَا أَوْصِيِكُمْ بِهَا لِتَتَمَتَّعُوا أَنْتُمْ وَأَوْلاَدُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ بِالْخَيْرِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، إِذْ عَمِلْتُمُ الصَّالِحَ وَالْحَقَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ.

 

التحذير من عبادة الأصنام

29- وَمَتَى اسْتَأْصَلَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمُ الأُمَمَ الَّتِي تُوْشِكُونَ عَلَى غَزْوِهِمْ، وَطَرْدِهِمْ، ثُمَّ وَرِثْتُمُوهُمْ وَاسْتَوْطَنْتُمْ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ،  
30- فَاحْذَرُوا مِنَ الْوُقُوعِ فِي الشَّرَكِ، بِاتِّبَاعِ عِبَادَاتِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ فَنَائِهِمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ، وَمِنْ مُمَارَسَةِ مَرَاسِيمِ عِبَادَةِ آلِهَتِهِمْ قَائِلِينَ: كَمَا عَبَدَ هَؤُلاَءِ الأُمَمُ آلِهَتَهُمْ هَكَذَا نَفْعَلُ نَحْنُ أَيْضاً.  
31- لاَ تَصْنَعْ هَكَذَا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، لأَنَّهُمْ قَدِ ارْتَكَبُوا فِي عِبَادَةِ آلِهَتِهِمْ كُلَّ مَا يَمْقُتُهُ الرَّبُّ مِنَ الأَرْجَاسِ، إِذْ أَحْرَقُوا بِالنَّارِ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَبَنَاتَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ آلِهَتِهِمْ،  
32- فَاحْرِصُوا عَلَى طَاعَةِ كُلِّ مَا أُوْصِيكُمْ بِهِ. لاَ تَزِيدُوا عَلَيْهِ وَلاَ تُنَقِّصُوا مِنْهُ.

Chapter: 013

V 001 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
V 002 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
V 003 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
V 004 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
V 005 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
V 006 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
V 007 Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;
V 008 Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:
V 009 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
V 010 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
V 011 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.
V 012 If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,
V 013 Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;
V 014 Then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you;
V 015 Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.
V 016 And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again.
V 017 And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;
V 018 When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.
 

فصل 13

الأمر بقتل الأنبياء الكذبة وعابدي الأوثان

1- إِذَا ظَهَرَ بَيْنَكُمْ نَبِيٌّ أَوْ صَاحِبُ أَحْلاَمٍ، وَتَنَبَّأَ بِوُقُوعِ آيَةٍ أَوْ أُعْجُوبَةٍ.  
2- فَتَحَقَّقَتْ تِلْكَ الآيَةُ أَوِ الأُعْجُوبَةُ الَّتِي تَنَبَّأَ بِهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَلُمَّ نَذْهَبْ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لَمْ تَعْرِفُوهَا وَنَعْبُدْهَا.  
3- فَلاَ تُصْغُوا إِلَى كَلاَمِ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيِّ أَوْ صَاحِبِ الأَحْلاَمِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يُجَرِّبُكُمْ لِيَرَى إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَنْفُسِكُمْ،  
4- فَاتْبَعُوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ وَاتَّقُوهُ، وَأَطِيعُوا وَصَايَاهُ وَاسْمَعُوا صَوْتَهُ، وَاعْبُدُوهُ وَتَمَسَّكُوا بِهِ.  
5- أَمَّا ذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ أَوِ الْحَالِمُ فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ، لأَنَّهُ نَطَقَ بِالْبُهْتَانِ ضِدَّ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمُ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَفَدَاكُمْ مِنْ نِيرِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ، لِيُضِلَّكُمْ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي أَمَرَكُمْ بِسُلُوكِهَا، فَتَسْتَأْصِلُونَ الشَّرَّ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ.

6- وَإِذَا أَضَلَّكَ سِرّاً أَخُوكَ ابْنُ أُمِّكَ، أَوِ ابْنُكَ أَوِ ابْنَتُكَ، أَوْ زَوْجَتُكَ الْمَحْبُوبَةُ، أَوْ صَدِيقُكَ الْحَمِيمُ قَائِلاً: لِنَذْهَبْ وَنَعْبُدْ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى غَرِيبَةً عَنْكَ وَعَنْ آبَائِكَ  
7- مِنْ آلِهَةِ الشُّعُوبِ الأُخْرَى الْمُحِيطَةِ بِكَ أَوِ الْبَعِيدَةِ عَنْكَ مِنْ أَقْصَى الأَرْضِ إِلَى أَقْصَاهَا،  
8- فَلاَ تَسْتَجِبْ لَهُ وَلاَ تُصْغِ إِلَيْهِ، وَلاَ يُشْفِقْ قَلْبُكَ عَلَيْهِ، وَلاَ تَتَرََّأفْ بِهِ، وَلاَ تَتَسَتَّرْ عَلَيْهِ.  
9- بَلْ حَتْماً تَقْتُلُهُ. كُنْ أَنْتَ أَوَّلَ قَاتِلِيهِ، ثُمَّ يَعْقُبُكَ بَقِيَّةُ الشَّعْبِ.  
10- ارْجُمْهُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ، لأَنَّهُ سَعَى أَنْ يُضِلَّكَ عَنِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ مِنْ نِيرِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ،  
11- فَيَشِيعَ الْخَبَرُ بَيْنَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ جَمِيعِهِمْ وَيَخَافُونَ، وَلاَ يُعَاوِدُونَ ارْتِكَابَ مِثْلِ هَذَا الأَمْرِ الشَّنِيعِ بَيْنَكُمْ.

 

تدمير المدن التي تعبد الأصنام

12- إِنْ سَمِعْتُمْ عَنْ إِحْدَى مُدُنِكُمُ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهَا،  
13- أَنَّ بَعْضَ الْفَاسِقِينَ قَدْ خَرَجُوا مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ وَضَلَّلُوا سُكَّانَ مَدِينَتِهِمْ قَائِلِينَ: لِنَذْهَبْ وَنَعْبُدْ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى غَرِيبَةً عَنْكُمْ  
14- فَافْحَصُوا الأَمْرَ أَوَّلاً وَتَحَقَّقُوا مِنْهُ بِدِقَّةٍ. فَإِنْ تَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ صِدْقُهُ، وَثَبَتَ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ الشَّنِيعَ قَدْ جَرَى فِعْلاً،  
15- فَاقْضُوا قَضَاءً عَلَى سُكَّانِ تِلْكَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَعَلَى بَهَائِمِهِمْ وَاقْتُلُوهُمْ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ.  
16- وَاجْمَعُوا كُلَّ أَمْتِعَتِهَا وَكَوِّمُوهَا فِي وَسَطِ سَاحَتِهَا وَأَحْرِقُوا الْمَدِينَةَ مَعَ كُلِّ أَمْتِعَتِهَا كَامِلَةً، انْتِقَاماً لِلرَّبِّ، فَتُصْبِحَ تَلاً خَرَاباً إِلَى الأَبَدِ لاَ تُبْنَى بَعْدُ.  
17- وَلاَ يَعْلَقُ شَيْءٌ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ مِمَّا هُوَ مُحَرَّمٌ مِنْهَا، لِيُخْمِدَ الرَّبُّ مِنِ احْتِدَامِ غَضَبِهِ وَيَمْنَحَكُمْ رَحْمَةً، فَيُبَارِكُكُمْ وَيُكَثِّرُكُمْ كَمَا أَقْسَمَ لِآبَائِكُمْ،  
18- إِنْ سَمِعْتُمْ لِصَوْتِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ وَأَطَعْتُمْ وَصَايَاهُ الَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكُمُ الْيَوْمَ بِهَا لِتَعْمَلُوا الْحَقَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ.

Chapter: 014

V 001 Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
V 002 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
V 003 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
V 004 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
V 005 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
V 006 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.
V 007 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.
V 008 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.
V 009 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
V 010 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.
V 011 Of all clean birds ye shall eat.
V 012 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
V 013 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
V 014 And every raven after his kind,
V 015 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind,
V 016 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
V 017 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
V 018 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
V 019 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.
V 020 But of all clean fowls ye may eat.
V 021 Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
V 022 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
V 023 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
V 024 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
V 025 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:
V 026 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
V 027 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
V 028 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
V 029 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.

24- وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَتِ الطَّرِيقُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ سُكْنَى الرَّبِّ طَوِيلَةً، بِحَيْثُ يَتَعَذَّرُ عَلَيْكُمْ حَمْلُ عُشُورِكُمْ إِلَيْهِ، وَإِذَا كَانَ الْمَكَانُ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لِيَجْعَلَ اسْمَهُ فِيهِ بَعِيداً عَلَيْكُمْ، وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ قَدْ بَارَكَكُمْ،  
25- فَبِيعُوا عُشُورَ غَلاَتِكُمْ بِفِضَّةٍ وصُرُّوهَا وَامْضُوا إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ،  
26- وَأَنْفِقُوا الْفِضَّةَ عَلَى مَا تَشْتَهِيهِ أَنْفُسُكُمْ مِنْ بَقَرٍ وَغَنَمٍ وَخَمْرٍ وَمُسْكِرٍ وَكُلِّ مَا تَرْغَبُونَ فِيهِ، وَاحْتَفِلُوا أَنْتُمْ وَأَهْلُ بُيُوتِكُمْ لَدَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ.  
27- وَلاَ تُهْمِلُوا اللاَّوِيِّينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَرِثُوا مِلْكاً أَوْ نَصِيباً مَعَكُمْ.

28- وَفِي نِهَايَةِ كُلِّ ثَلاَثِ سِنِينَ، أَخْرِجُوا عُشُورَ مَحْصُولِ السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ وَاخْزُنُوهَا فِي مُدُنِكُمْ،  
29- فَيُقْبِلَ اللاَّوِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَرِثُوا مِلْكاً أَوْ نَصِيباً مَعَكُمْ، وَالْغَرِيبُ وَالْيَتِيمُ وَالأَرْمَلَةُ، الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْبَعُونَ لِيُبَارِكَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ فِي كُلِّ مَا تُنْتِجُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ.

Chapter: 015

V 001 At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.
V 002 And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbor shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbor, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD's release.
V 003 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;
V 004 Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:
V 005 Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.
V 006 For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
V 007 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
V 008 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
V 009 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.
V 010 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.
V 011 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
V 012 And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.
V 013 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:
V 014 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.
V 015 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.
V 016 And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee;
V 017 Then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.
V 018 It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.
V 019 All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.
V 020 Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.
V 021 And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God.
V 022 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
V 023 Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.
 

فصل 15 

السنة السابعة

1- وَفِي آخِرِ كُلِّ سَنَةٍ سَابِعَةٍ تُبْرِيءُ الْمَدْيُونِينَ مِنَ الدُّيُونِ  
2- وَهَذَا هُوَ الإِجْرَاءُ: يَقُومُ كُلُّ دَائِنٍ بِإِبْرَاءِ مَدِينِهِ مِمَّا أَقْرَضَهُ، وَلاَ يُطَالِبُ أَخَاهُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيَّ بِهِ، لأَنَّهُ قَدْ نُودِيَ بِوَقْتِ الرَّبِّ لإِلْغَاءِ الدُّيُونِ.  
3- أَمَّا الأَجْنَبِيُّ فَتُطَالِبُهُ بِالدَّيْنِ، وَأَمَّا أَخُوكَ فَتُبْرِئُهُ مِنْ دُيُونِهِ.  
4- وَلَكِنْ لَنْ يَكُونَ فَقِيرٌ بَيْنَكُمْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ سَيُبَارِكُ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي وَرَّثَهَا لَكُمْ مِلْكاً.  
5- فَإِنْ سَمِعْتُمْ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ وَأَطَعْتُمْ، وَعَمِلْتُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا أَنَا أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِهِ الْيَوْمَ،  
6- فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يُبَارِكُكُمْ كَمَا وَعَدَ، فَتُقْرِضُونَ أُمَماً كَثِيرَةً وَلاَ تَقْتَرِضُونَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ، وَتَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَى أُمَمٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَلاَ يَتَسَلَّطُ أَحَدٌ عَلَيْكُمْ.

7- إِنْ وُجِدَ بَيْنَكُمْ إِسْرَائِيلِيٌّ فَقِيرٌ مُقِيمٌ فِي أَيِّ مَدِينَةٍ مِنْ مُدُنِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي سَيَهَبُهَا لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، فَلاَ تُقَسُّوا قُلُوبَكُمْ وَتَمْتَنِعُوا عَنْ إِعَانَتِهِ،  
8- بَلِ اسْخُوا عَلَيْهِ وَأَقْرِضُوهُ مِقْدَارَ مَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ.  
9- إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تُحَدِّثُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ بِخُبْثٍ قَائِلِينَ: هَا قَدْ قَرُبَتِ السَّنَةُ السَّابِعَةُ، سَنَةُ الإِبْرَاءِ مِنَ الدُّيُونِ فَيَسُوءُ الأَمْرُ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ وَتَمْتَنِعُونَ عَنْ إِقْرَاضِهِ. فَإِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ هَذَا فَإِنَّهُ يَسْتَغِيثُ بِالرَّبِّ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَتُصْبِحُونَ مُذْنِبِينَ فِي حُكْمِ الرَّبِّ.  
10- أَقْرِضُوهُ عَنْ طِيبِ خَاطِرٍ، لأَنَّهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا يُبَارِكُكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ فِي كُلِّ أَعْمَالِكُمْ وَمَا تُنْتِجُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ،  
11- فَالأَرْضُ لَنْ تَخْلُوَ أَبَداً مِنَ الْفُقَرَاءِ، لِهَذَا أُوصِيكُمْ أَنْ تَسْخُوا عَلَى أَخِيكُمُ الْمِسْكِينِ وَالْفَقِيرِ الْمُقِيمِ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ.

 

تحرير العبيد

12- إِذَا اشْتَرَيْتَ عِبْرَانِيّاً أَوْ عِبْرَانِيَّةً، وَخَدَمَكَ سِتَّ سَنَوَاتٍ، فَفِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ تُطْلِقُهُ حُرّاً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ.  
13- لاَ تُطْلِقْهُ صِفْرَ الْيَدَيْنِ،  
14- بَلْ زَوِّدْهُ مِمَّا بَارَكَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ بِهِ، مِنْ غَنَمٍ وَحِنْطَةٍ وَزَيْتٍ.  
15- وَاذْكُرُوا أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ عَبِيداً فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، فَحَرَّرَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. لِذَلِكَ أُوصِيكُمْ بِهَذَا الأَمْرِ الْيَوْمَ.  
16- وَلَكِنْ إِنْ قَالَ لَكَ الْعَبْدُ: إِنَّنِي لاَ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتْرُكَكَ لأَنَّهُ قَدْ أَحَبَّكَ وَأَحَبَّ بَيْتَكَ وَتَمَتَّعَ بِالْخَيْرِ عِنْدَكَ،  
17- فَخُذْ مِثْقَباً وَاثْقُبْ بِهِ أُذْنَهُ أَمَامَ قُضَاةِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَيُصْبِحَ لَكَ عَبْداً مَدَى حَيَاتِهِ. وَكَذَلِكَ تَفْعَلُ بِأَمَتِكَ.  
18- لاَ يَصْعُبْ عَلَيْكَ إِطْلاَقُهُ حُرّاً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ، لأَنَّهُ قَدْ خَدَمَكَ فِي سِتِّ سَنَوَاتٍ بِمَا يُعَادِلُ ضِعْفَيْ أُجْرَةِ الأَجِيرِ، وَبِذَلِكَ يُبَارِكُكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ فِي كُلِّ مَا تَعْمَلُهُ.

 

تكريس الأبكار

19- خَصِّصْ لِلرَّبِّ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ ذَكَرٍ مِنْ بَقَرِكَ وَمِنْ غَنَمِكَ. لاَ تَسْتَخْدِمْ بِكْرَ بَقَرِكَ وَلاَ تَجُزَّ صُوفَ بِكْرِ غَنَمِكَ،  
20- بَلْ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَأْكُلَهُ أَنْتَ وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِكَ، كُلَّ سَنَةٍ بِسَنَتِهَا، فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ.  
21- وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ فِي الْبِكْرِ عَيْبٌ مِنْ عَرَجٍ أَوْ عَمًى أَوْ أَيُّ عَيْبٍ، فَلاَ تَذْبَحْهُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ،  
22- بَلْ تَأْكُلُهُ فِي مَدِينَتِكَ، الطَّاهِرُ وَالنَّجِسُ عَلَى حَدٍّ سَوَاءٍ، فَتَأْكُلُونَهُ كَمَا تَأْكُلُونَ الظَّبْيَ وَالأُيَّلَ.  
23- أَمَّا دَمُهُ فَاسْكُبُوهُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَلاَ تَأْكُلُوا مِنْهُ.

Chapter: 016

V 001 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.
V 002 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.
V 003 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
V 004 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.
V 005 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee:
V 006 But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.
V 007 And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.
V 008 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work therein.
V 009 Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.
V 010 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
V 011 And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.
V 012 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
V 013 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
V 014 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
V 015 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
V 016 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:
V 017 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
V 018 Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
V 019 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
V 020 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
V 021 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee.
V 022 Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy God hateth.

7- فَتَشْوُونَهُ وَتَأْكُلُونَهُ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ، ثُمَّ تَنْصَرِفُونَ فِي الْغَدِ كُلٌّ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهِ.  
8- سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُونَ فَطِيراً، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ تَتَوَقَّفُونَ عَنْ كُلِّ عَمَلٍ، وَتَحْتَفِلُونَ مُعْتَكِفِينَ لِلرَّبِّ.

11- فَتَحْتَفِلُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمْ وَعَبِيدُكُمْ وَإِمَاؤُكُمْ، وَاللاَّوِيُّونَ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ، وَالْغَرِيبُ وَالْيَتِيمُ وَالأَرْمَلَةُ الَّذِينَ بَيْنَكُمْ، لَدَى الرَّبِّ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ لِيُحِلَّ اسْمَهُ فِيهِ.  
12- وَتَذَكَّرُوا أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ عَبِيداً فِي مِصْرَ، فَأَطِيعُوا هَذِهِ الْفَرَائِضَ وَاعْمَلُوا بِهَا.

14- فَتُعَيِّدُونَ لِلرَّبِّ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يُبَارِكُ لَكُمْ مَحَاصِيلَكُمْ وَكُلَّ مَا تُنْتِجُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ، فَيَكْمُلُ بِذَلِكَ فَرَحُكُمْ.

16- وَيَحْضُرُ جَمِيعُ ذُكُورِكُمْ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ لِلْمُثُولِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ، وَذَلِكَ فِي عِيدِ الْفَطِيرِ وَعِيدِ الأَسَابِيعِ وَعِيدِ الْمَظَالِّ. وَإِيَّاهُمْ أَنْ يَمْثُلُوا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَقْدِمَاتٍ.

اختيار القضاة

18- وَأَقِيمُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ قُضَاةً وَمُدَبِّرِينَ فِي جَمِيعِ الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي يُوَرِّثُكُمْ إِيَّاهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ بِحَسَبِ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ فَيَقْضُوا بَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ بِالْعَدْلِ.  
19- لاَ تُعَوِّجُوا الْقَضَاءَ وَلاَ تُحَابُوا، وَلاَ تَقْبَلُوا رِشْوَةً، لأَنَّ الرِّشْوَةَ تُعْمِي أَبْصَارَ الْحُكَمَاءِ، وَتُعَوِّجُ أَقْوَالَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ.  
20- الْعَدْلَ وَالْعَدْلَ وَحْدَهُ أَجْرُوا، لِتَحْيَوْا وَتَمْتَلِكُوا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَكُمْ.

 

عبادة آلهة أخرى

22- وَلاَ تُقِيمُوا لَكُمْ أَنْصَاباً مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ لأَنَّ هَذِهِ مَكْرُوهَةٌ لَدَى الرَّبِّ

Chapter: 017

V 001 Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, or any evilfavouredness: for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
V 002 If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,
V 003 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
V 004 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and inquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:
V 005 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
V 006 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
V 007 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.
V 008 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;
V 009 And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and inquire; and they shall show thee the sentence of judgment:
V 010 And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall show thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:
V 011 According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall show thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.
V 012 And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.
V 013 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
V 014 When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;
V 015 Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.
V 016 But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
V 017 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
V 018 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
V 019 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
V 020 That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.

ممارسة حق القضاء

1- لاَ تَذْبَحُوا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ ثَوْراً أَوْ حَمَلاً فِيهِ عَيْبٌ أَوْ شَيْءٌ رَدِيءٌ، لأَنَّ ذَلِكَ رِجْسٌ لَدَى الرَّبِّ.

2- إِذَا ارْتَكَبَ بَيْنَكُمْ، رَجُلٌ أَوِ امْرَأَةٌ، مُقِيمٌ فِي إِحْدَى مُدُنِكُمُ الَّتِي يُوَرِّثُكُمْ إِيَّاهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمُ، الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ مُتَعَدِّياً عَهْدَهُ،  
3- فَغَوَى وَعَبَدَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَسَجَدَ لَهَا أَوْ لِلشَّمْسِ أَوْ لِلْقَمَرِ أَوْ لأَيٍّ مِنْ كَوَاكِبِ السَّمَاءِ مِمَّا حَظَرْتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ،  
4- وَشَاعَ خَبَرُهُ، فَسَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ، وَتَحَقَّقْتُمْ بَعْدَ فَحْصٍ دَقِيقٍ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ الرِّجْسَ اقْتُرِفَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ،  
5- فَأَخْرِجُوا ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ أَوْ تِلْكَ الْمَرْأَةَ، الَّذِي ارْتَكَبَ ذَلِكَ الإِثْمَ إِلَى خَارِجِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَارْجُمُوهُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ.  
6- لاَ تَقْتُلْهُ إِلاَّ بَعْدَ أَنْ تَقُومَ عَلَيْهِ شَهَادَةُ اثْنَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثَةٍ وَيُحْظَرُ أَنْ تَقْتُلَ بِمُوْجِبِ شَهَادَةِ وَاحِدٍ فَقَطْ.  
7- وَيَكُونُ الشُّهُودُ هُمْ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَرْجُمُونَهُ، ثُمَّ يَتَعَاقَبُ عَلَيْهِ الشَّعْبُ. فَتَسْتَأْصِلُونَ عِنْدَئِذٍ الشَّرَّ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ.

8- إِذَا تَعَذَّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِصْدَارُ حُكْمٍ فِي قَضِيَّةِ سَفْكِ دَمٍ أَوْ دَعْوَى حَقٍّ أَوِ اعْتِدَاءٍ بِالضَّرْبِ، مِمَّا يَجْرِي مِنْ أُمُورِ الْخُصُومَاتِ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ، فَقُومُوا وَامْضُوا إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ،  
9- وَاحْضُرُوا أَمَامَ الْكَهَنَةِ اللاَّوِيِّينَ وَالْقَاضِي الْقَائِمِ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، وَاسْأَلُوا، فَيُخْبِرُوكُمْ بِحُكْمِ الْقَضَاءِ.  
10- فَتُنَفِّذُوا مَا يُصْدِرُونَ مِنْ قَرَارَاتٍ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ. وَاحْرِصُوا عَلَى الْعَمَلِ بِمُقْتَضَى مَا يُعَلِّمُونَكُمْ  
11- وَاعْمَلُوا بِمُوْجِبِ الشَّرِيعَةِ الَّتِي يُعَلِّمُونَكُمْ إِيَّاهَا، وَالْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي يُصْدِرُونَهُ. وَلاَ تَحِيدُوا عَمَّا يَنُصُّونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ حُكْمٍ لاَ يَمِيناً وَلاَ شِمَالاً.  
12- وَمَنْ يَرْفُضُ مُتَمَرِّداً تَنْفِيذَ حُكْمِ الْكَاهِنِ الْمَاثِلِ هُنَاكَ لِخِدْمَةِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، أَوِ الْقَاضِي، فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ. وَبِذَلِكَ يُسْتَأْصَلُ الشَّرُّ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

17- وَلْيَحْذَرْ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِزْوَاجاً لِئَلاَّ يَزِيغَ قَلْبُهُ، وَلاَ يُكَثِّرُ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ.  
18- وَحِينَ يَتَبَوَّأُ عَرْشَ مَمْلَكَتِهِ فَلْيَنْسُخْ لِنَفْسِهِ هَذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةَ فِي كِتَابٍ وَيَنْقُلْهَا عَنِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللاَّوِيِّينَ،  
19- فَتَكُونَ مَعَهُ لِيُطَالِعَهَا كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ لِيَتَعَلَّمَ أَنْ يَتَّقِيَ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُ وَيُطِيعَ جَمِيعَ كَلِمَاتِ هَذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةِ وَهَذِهِ الْفَرَائِضِ لِيَعْمَلَ بِهَا،  
20- لِئَلاَّ يَتَكَبَّرَ عَلَى إِخْوَتِهِ وَيَحِيدَ عَنِ الْوَصِيَّةِ يَمِيناً أَوْ شِمَالاً. فَإِنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّهُ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُ يَمْلِكُونَ طَوِيلاً فِي وَسَطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Chapter: 018

V 001 The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
V 002 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
V 003 And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
V 004 The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
V 005 For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.
V 006 And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose;
V 007 Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.
V 008 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
V 009 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
V 010 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
V 011 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
V 012 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
V 013 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
V 014 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
V 015 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
V 016 According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
V 017 And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
V 018 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
V 019 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
V 020 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
V 021 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
V 022 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

نصيب الكهنة

1- لاَ يَرِثُ الْكَهَنَةُ اللاَّوِيُّونَ وَلاَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ سِبْطِ لاَوِي مِلْكاً أَو نَصِيباً مَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ مُحْرَقَاتِ الرَّبِّ وَنَصِيبِهِ.  
2- لاَ يَرِثُونَ مَعَ إِخْوَتِهِمْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ نَصِيبُهُمْ كَمَا وَعَدَهُمْ.

3- وَهَذَا هُوَ حَقُّ الْكَهَنَةِ مِنَ الذَّبَائِحِ الَّتِي يُقَرِّبُهَا الشَّعْبُ بَقَراً كَانَتْ أَمْ غَنَماً: يُقَدِّمُ الشَّعْبُ لِلْكَاهِنِ السَّاعِدَ وَالْفَكَّيْنِ وَالْكِرْشَ،  
4- كَمَا تُعْطُونَهُ أَوَّلَ حَصَادِ حِنْطَتِكُمْ وَخَمْرِكُمْ وَزَيْتِكُمْ، وَأَوَّلَ جَزَازِ غَنَمِكُمْ،  
5- لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمُ اخْتَارَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ لِيَقُومَ بِالْخِدْمَةِ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ، هُوَ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ.

6- وَإِذَا أَقْبَلَ لاَوِيٌّ مِنْ إِحْدَى مُدُنِكُمْ مِنْ أَيِّ مَكَانٍ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَيْثُ هُوَ مُتَغَرِّبٌ، لِيَمْكُثَ بِرَغْبَةٍ قَلْبِيَّةٍ صَادِقَةٍ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ،  
7- فَإِنَّ مِنْ حَقِّهِ أَنْ يَخْدُمَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ كَبَقِيَّةِ إِخْوَتِهِ اللاَّوِيِّينَ الْمَاثِلِينَ هُنَاكَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.  
8- وَمِنْ حَقِّهِ أَيْضاً أَنْ يَنَالَ نَصِيباً مُتَسَاوِياً مِنَ التَّقْدِمَاتِ، عَلاَوَةً عَمَّا يَكُونُ قَدْ حَصَلَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ بَيْعِ مَا وَرِثَهُ عَنْ آبَائِهِ.

 

حظر ممارسات الأمم الوثنية

9- وَمَتَى دَخَلْتُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يُوَرِّثُكُمْ إِيَّاهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، فَلاَ تَتَعَلَّمُوا مُمَارَسَةَ رَجَاسَاتِ تِلْكَ الأُمَمِ الْمُقِيمَةِ هُنَاكَ.  
10- وَلاَ يَكُنْ بَيْنَكُمْ مَنْ يُجِيزُ ابْنَهُ وَلاَ ابْنَتَهُ فِي النَّارِ، وَلاَ يَتَعَاطَى الْعِرَافَةَ وَلاَ الْعِيَافَةَ وَلاَ مُمَارَسَةَ الْفَأْلِ أَوِ السِّحْرِ،  
11- وَلاَ مَنْ يَرْقِي رُقْيَةً أَوْ يُشَاوِرُ جَانّاً أَوْ وَسِيطاً، أَوْ يَسْتَحْضِرُ أَرْوَاحَ الْمَوْتَى لِيُسَائِلَهُمْ،  
12- لأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَتَعَاطَى ذَلِكَ مَكْرُوهٌ لَدَى الرَّبِّ. فَبِسَبَبِ هَذِهِ الأَرْجَاسِ عَزَمَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ عَلَى طَرْدِ هَذِهِ الأُمَمِ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ،  
13- فَكُونُوا كَامِلِينَ لَدَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ.  
14- إِنَّ تِلْكَ الأُمَمَ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ تَسْتَأْصِلُونَهُا تُصَدِّقُ مُمَارَسَةَ الْمُشَعْوِذِينَ وَالْعَرَّافِينَ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يَحْظُرُ عَلَيْكُمْ ذَلِكَ.

 

الوعد بنبي بعد موسى

15- سَيُقِيمُ الرَّبُّ فِيكُمْ نَبِيّاً مِثْلِي مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَهُ تَسْمَعُونَ،  
16- فَقَدِ اسْتَجَابَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ مَا طَلَبْتُمْ مِنْهُ فِي حُورِيبَ فِي يَوْمِ الاجْتِمَاعِ عِنْدَمَا قُلْتُمْ: لاَ نَعُودُ نَسْمَعُ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا، وَلاَ نَرَى النَّارَ الْعَظِيمَةَ أَيْضاً لِئَلاَّ نَمُوتَ  
17- فَقَالَ لِيَ الرَّبُّ: لَقَدْ أَصَابُوا فِي مَا تَكَلَّمُوا.  
18- لِهَذَا أُقِيمُ لَهُمْ نَبِيّاً مِنْ بَيْنِ إِخْوَتِهِمْ مِثْلَكَ، وَأَضَعُ كَلاَمِي فِي فَمِهِ، فَيُخَاطِبُهُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا آمُرُهُ بِهِ.  
19- فَيَكُونُ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَعْصَى كَلاَمِي الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ بِاسْمِي، فَأَنَا أُحَاسِبُهُ.  
20- وَأَمَّا النَّبِيُّ الَّذِي يَتَجَبَّرُ فَيَنْطِقُ بِاسْمِي بِمَا لَمْ آمُرْهُ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ، أَوْ يَتَنَبَّأُ بِاسمِ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى، فَإِنَّهُ حَتْماً يَمُوتُ.  
21- وَإِنْ سَأَلْتُمْ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ: كَيْفَ نُمَيِّزُ الْكَلاَمَ الَّذِي لَمْ يَصْدُرْ عَنِ الرَّبِّ؟  
22- فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَا يَتَنَبَّأُ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ وَلاَ يَتَحَقَّقُ يَكُونُ ادِّعَاءً مِنْهُ لَمْ يَنْطِقْ بِهِ الرَّبُّ، بَلْ بِطُغْيَانٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ فَلاَ تَخَفْ مِنْهُ.

Chapter: 019

V 001 When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;
V 002 Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
V 003 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.
V 004 And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbor ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;
V 005 As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbor, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:
V 006 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.
V 007 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.
V 008 And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;
V 009 If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:
V 010 That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.
V 011 But if any man hate his neighbor, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:
V 012 Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
V 013 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
V 014 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbor's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance,
which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to
possess it.
V 015 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
V 016 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;
V 017 Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
V 018 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;
V 019 Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
V 020 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
V 021 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

8- وَإِنْ وَسَّعَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ أَرْضَكُمْ، كَمَا أَقْسَمَ لِآبَائِكُمْ، وَأَوْرَثَكُمْ جَمِيعَ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَعَدَ أَنْ يَهَبَهَا لَهُمْ،  
9- وَإِذَا أَطَعْتُمْ هَذِهِ الْوَصَايَا كُلَّهَا وَعَمِلْتُمْ بِهَا كَمَا أُوْصِيكُمُ الْيَوْمَ، وَأَحْبَبْتُمُ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ وَسَلَكْتُمْ فِي سُبُلِهِ دَائِماً، فَأَضِيفُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ مُدُنَ مَلْجَإٍ أُخْرَى  
10- فَلاَ يُسْفَكَ دَمُ بَرِيءٍ فِي وَسَطِ أَرْضِكُمُ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَكُمْ مِيرَاثاً، فَتَكُونُ مُلَطَّخَةً بِالدَّمِ.

11- وَلَكِنْ إِذَا كَمَنَ إِنْسَانٌ يُضْمِرُ الْبَغْضَاءَ لِصَاحِبِهِ وَقَامَ عَلَيْهِ وَضَرَبَهُ ضَرْبَةً قَاتِلَةً أَفْضَتْ إِلَى مَوْتِهِ، ثُمَّ هَرَبَ إِلَى إِحْدَى مُدُنِ الْمَلْجَإِ،  
12- يُوَجِّهُ شُيُوخُ مَدِينَتِهِ مَنْ يَقْبِضُ عَلَيْهِ هُنَاكَ، وَيَأْتِي بِهِ، فَيُسَلِّمُونَهُ إِلَى طَالِبِ الثَّأْرِ فَيَمُوتُ.  
13- لاَ تَتَرََّأفْ بِهِ قُلُوبُكُمْ، بَلِ انْتَقِمُوا لِدَمِ الْبَرِيءِ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَكُونَ لَكُمْ خَيْرٌ.

 

شريعة الحدود

14- لاَ تَنْقُلُوا حُدُودَ أَرْضِ صَاحِبِكُمُ الَّتِي نَصَبَهَا الأَوَّلُونَ لِتَزِيدُوا مِنْ مِيرَاثِكُمُ الَّذِي يَهَبُهُ لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لِتَمْتَلِكُوهُ.

 

الشهود وشريعة العين بالعين

15- لاَ يَثْبُتُ عَلَى إِنْسَانٍ ذَنْبٌ مَا أَوْ خَطِيئَةٌ مَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْخَطَايَا الَّتِي يَرْتَكِبُهَا الإِنْسَانُ عَلَى فَمِ شَاهِدٍ وَاحِدٍ، إِنَّمَا بِشَهَادَةِ اثْنَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثَةٍ يَثْبُتُ الذَّنْبُ.  
16- إِذَا شَهِدَ وَاحِدٌ عَلَى آخَرَ شَهَادَةَ زُورٍ مُتَّهِماً إِيَّاهُ بِارْتِكَابِ ذَنْبٍ،  
17- يَمْثُلُ الرَّجُلانِ الْمُتَخَاصِمَانِ فِي مَحْضَرِ الرَّبِّ أَمَامَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْقُضَاةِ الْمُعَيَّنِينَ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ.  
18- فَإِنْ تَحَقَّقَ الْقُضَاةُ بَعْدَ فَحْصٍ دَقِيقٍ أَنَّ الشَّاهِدَ قَدْ شَهِدَ زُوراً عَلَى أَخِيهِ،  
19- فَأَنْزِلُوا بِهِ الْعِقَابَ الَّذِي كَانَ سَيُنْزِلُهُ بِأَخِيهِ، فَتَسْتَأْصِلُوا الشَّرَّ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ،  
20- فَيَشِيعُ الْخَبَرُ وَيَسْمَعُ بِهِ بَقِيَّةُ الشَّعْبِ فَيَخَافُونَ، وَلاَ يَعُودُونَ يُقْدِمُونَ عَلَى مِثْلِ هَذَا الأَمْرِ الْقَبِيحِ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ.  
21- لاَ تَتَرََّأفْ بِهِ قُلُوبُكُمْ. حَيَاةٌ بِحَيَاةٍ، وَعَيْنٌ بِعَيْنٍ، وَسِنٌّ بِسِنٍّ، وَيَدٌ بِيَدٍ، وَرِجْلٌ بِرِجْلٍ.

 
******************************
Chapter: 020

V 001 When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
V 002 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
V 003 And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
V 004 For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
V 005 And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
V 006 And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.
V 007 And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.
V 008 And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart faint as well as his heart.
V 009 And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.
V 010 When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it.
V 011 And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.
V 012 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
V 013 And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:
V 014 But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
V 015 Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
V 016 But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
V 017 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:
V 018 That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God.
V 019 When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to employ them in the siege:
V 020 Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.
 

فصل 20

شرائع التجنيد

1- اذَا ذَهَبْتُمْ لِمُحَارَبَةِ عَدُوِّكُمْ، وَوَجَدْتُمْ أَنَّ عَدُوَّكُمْ أَكْثَرُ مِنْكُمْ عَدَداً وخَيْلاً وَمَرْكَبَاتٍ، فَلاَ تَخَافُوا مِنْهُ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمُ الَّذِي حَرَّرَكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ يَقِفُ مَعَكُمْ.  
2- وَعِنْدَمَا تَكُونُونَ عَلَى وَشْكِ خَوْضِ الْمَعْرَكَةِ يَتَقَدَّمُ الْكَاهِنُ وَيُخَاطِبُ الْجَيْشَ:  
3- اسْمَعْ يَاإِسْرَائِيلُ: أَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ مُوشِكُونَ عَلَى مُحَارَبَةِ أَعْدَائِكُمْ، فَلاَ تَهِنْ قُلُوبُكُمْ، لاَ تَخَافُوا مِنْهُمْ وَلاَ تَرْتَعِدُوا وَلاَ تَرْهَبُوهُمْ،  
4- لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ سَائِرٌ مَعَكُمْ لِمُحَارَبَةِ أَعْدَائِكُمْ عَنْكُمْ، وَلِيُخَلِّصَكُمْ.  
5- ثُمَّ يَقُولُ الْقَادَةُ لِلْجَيْشِ: هَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ مَنْ بَنَى بَيْتاً جَدِيداً وَلَمْ يُدَشِّنْهُ بَعْدُ؟ فَلْيَرْجِعْ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، لِئَلاَّ يُقْتَلَ فِي الْمَعْرَكَةِ فَيُدَشِّنَهُ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ.  
6- هَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ مَنْ غَرَسَ كَرْماً وَلَمْ يَجْنِ أَوَّلَ ثِمَارِهِ بَعْدُ؟ فَلْيَرْجِعْ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ لِئَلاَّ يُقْتَلَ فِي الْمَعْرَكَةِ فَيَجْنِيَ أَوَّلَ ثِمَارِ كَرْمِهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ.  
7- هَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ رَجُلٌ خَطَبَ امْرَأَةً وَلَمْ يَتَزَوَّجْهَا بَعْدُ؟ لِيَرْجِعْ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ لِئَلاَّ يُقْتَلَ فِي الْمَعْرَكَةِ فَيَتَزَوَّجَهَا رَجُلٌ آخَرُ.  
8- ثُمَّ يَسْتَطْرِدُ قَادَةُ الْجَيْشِ قَائِلِينَ: هَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ رَجُلٌ خَائِفٌ وَاهِنُ الْقَلْبِ؟ لِيَرْجِعْ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ لِئَلاَّ يَعْتَرِيَ الْخَوْفُ قُلُوبَ إِخْوَتِهِ مِثْلَهُ.  
9- وَعِنْدَمَا يَفْرُغُ الْقَادَةُ مِنْ مُخَاطَبَةِ الْجَيْشِ، يُعَيِّنُونَ ضُبَّاطاً عَلَى الْجُنُودِ.

11- فَإِنْ أَجَابَتْكُمْ إِلَى الصُّلْحِ وَاسْتَسْلَمَتْ لَكُمْ، فَكُلُّ الشَّعْبِ السَّاكِنِ فِيهَا يُصْبِحُ عَبِيداً لَكُمْ.  
12- وَإِنْ أَبَتِ الصُّلْحَ وَحَارَبَتْكُمْ فَحَاصِرُوهَا  
13- فَإِذَا أَسْقَطَهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ فِي أَيْدِيكُمْ، فَاقْتُلُوا جَمِيعَ ذُكُورِهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ.  
14- وَأَمَّا النِّسَاءُ وَالأَطْفَالُ وَالْبَهَائِمُ، وَكُلُّ مَا فِي الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ أَسْلاَبٍ، فَاغْنَمُوهَا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ، وَتَمَتَّعُوا بِغَنَائِمِ أَعْدَائِكُمُ الَّتِي وَهَبَهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَكُمْ.  
15- هَكَذَا تَفْعَلُونَ بِكُلِّ الْمُدُنِ النَّائِيَةِ عَنْكُمُ الَّتِي لَيْسَتْ مِنْ مُدُنِ الأُمَمِ الْقَاطِنَةِ هُنَا.

16- أَمَّا مُدُنُ الشُّعُوبِ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَكُمْ مِيرَاثاً فَلاَ تَسْتَبْقُوا فِيهَا نَسَمَةً حَيَّةً،  
17- بَلْ دَمِّرُوهَا عَنْ بِكْرَةِ أَبِيهَا، كَمُدُنِ الْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَالْحِوِّيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ كَمَا أَمَرَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ،  
18- لِكَيِ لاَ يُعَلِّمُوكُمْ رَجَاسَاتِهِمِ الَّتِي مَارَسُوهَا فِي عِبَادَةِ آلِهَتِهِمْ، فَتَغْوُوا وَرَاءَهُمْ وَتُخْطِئُوا إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ.

19- وَإِذَا حَاصَرْتُمْ مَدِينَةً حِقْبَةً طَوِيلَةً مُعْلِنِينَ الْحَرْبَ عَلَيْهَا لاِفْتِتَاحِهَا، فَلاَ تَقْطَعُوا أَشْجَارَهَا بِحَدِّ الْفَأْسِ وَتُتْلِفُوهَا لأَنَّكُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ ثِمَارِهَا. هَلْ شَجَرَةُ الْحَقْلِ إِنْسَانٌ حَتَّى يَهْرُبَ أَمَامَكُمْ فِي الْحِصَارِ؟  
20- أَمَّا الأَشْجَارُ الَّتِي لاَ يُؤْكَلُ ثَمَرُهَا فَأَتْلِفُوهَا وَاقْطَعُوهَا، لاِسْتِخْدَامِهَا فِي بِنَاءِ حُصُونٍ حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ الْمُحَاصَرَةِ الْمُتَحَارِبَةِ مَعَكُمْ، إِلَى أَنْ يَتِمَّ سُقُوطُهَا.
