Deuteronomy 16

«اِحْفَظْ شَهْرَ أَبِيبَ وَاعْمَلْ فِصْحًا لِلرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ، لأَنَّهُ فِي شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ أَخْرَجَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ مِنْ مِصْرَ لَيْلاً.

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.

فَتَذْبَحُ الْفِصْحَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ لِيُحِلَّ اسْمَهُ فِيهِ.

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.

لاَ تَأْكُلْ عَلَيْهِ خَمِيرًا. سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُ عَلَيْهِ فَطِيرًا، خُبْزَ الْمَشَقَّةِ، لأَنَّكَ بِعَجَلَةٍ خَرَجْتَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، لِكَيْ تَذْكُرَ يَوْمَ خُرُوجِكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ.

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.

وَلاَ يُرَ عِنْدَكَ خَمِيرٌ فِي جَمِيعِ تُخُومِكَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَلاَ يَبِتْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ اللَّحْمِ الَّذِي تَذْبَحُ مَسَاءً فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ إِلَى الْغَدِ.

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.

لاَ يَحِلُّ لَكَ أَنْ تَذْبَحَ الْفِصْحَ فِي أَحَدِ أَبْوَابِكَ الَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ،

Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee:

بَلْ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ لِيُحِلَّ اسْمَهُ فِيهِ. هُنَاكَ تَذْبَحُ الْفِصْحَ مَسَاءً نَحْوَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ فِي مِيعَادِ خُرُوجِكَ مِنْ مِصْرَ،

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.

وَتَطْبُخُ وَتَأْكُلُ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ، ثُمَّ تَنْصَرِفُ فِي الْغَدِ وَتَذْهَبُ إِلَى خِيَامِكَ.

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.

سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُ فَطِيرًا، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابع اعْتِكَافٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ. لاَ تَعْمَلْ فِيهِ عَمَلاً.

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.

«سَبْعَةَ أَسَابِيعَ تَحْسُبُ لَكَ. مِنِ ابْتِدَاءِ الْمِنْجَلِ فِي الزَّرْعِ، تَبْتَدِئُ أَنْ تَحْسُبَ سَبْعَةَ أَسَابِيعَ.

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.

وَتَعْمَلُ عِيدَ أَسَابِيعَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا تَسْمَحُ يَدُكَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَ، كَمَا يُبَارِكُكَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ.

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:

وَتَفْرَحُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ أَنْتَ وَابْنُكَ وَابْنَتُكَ وَعَبْدُكَ وَأَمَتُكَ وَاللاَّّوِيُّ الَّذِي فِي أَبْوَابِكَ، وَالْغَرِيبُ وَالْيَتِيمُ وَالأَرْمَلَةُ الَّذِينَ فِي وَسْطِكَ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ لِيُحِلَّ اسْمَهُ فِيهِ.

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.

وَتَذْكُرُ أَنَّكَ كُنْتَ عَبْدًا فِي مِصْرَ وَتَحْفَظُ، وَتَعْمَلُ هذِهِ الْفَرَائِضَ.

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.

«تَعْمَلُ لِنَفْسِكَ عِيدَ الْمَظَالِّ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ عِنْدَمَا تَجْمَعُ مِنْ بَيْدَرِكَ وَمِنْ مِعْصَرَتِكَ.

Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:

وَتَفْرَحُ فِي عِيدِكَ أَنْتَ وَابْنُكَ وَابْنَتُكَ وَعَبْدُكَ وَأَمَتُكَ وَاللاََّوِيُّ وَالْغَرِيبُ وَالْيَتِيمُ وَالأَرْمَلَةُ الَّذِينَ فِي أَبْوَابِكَ.

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.

سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تُعَيِّدُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ يُبَارِكُكَ فِي كُلِّ مَحْصُولِكَ وَفِي كُلِّ عَمَلِ يَدَيْكَ، فَلاَ تَكُونُ إِلاَّ فَرِحًا.

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.

«ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي السَّنَةِ يَحْضُرُ جَمِيعُ ذُكُورِكَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ، فِي عِيدِ الْفَطِيرِ وَعِيدِ الأَسَابِيعِ وَعِيدِ الْمَظَالِّ. وَلاَ يَحْضُرُوا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ فَارِغِينَ.

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:

كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ حَسْبَمَا تُعْطِي يَدُهُ، كَبَرَكَةِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ الَّتِي أَعْطَاكَ.

Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.

«قُضَاةً وَعُرَفَاءَ تَجْعَلُ لَكَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَبْوَابِكَ الَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ حَسَبَ أَسْبَاطِكَ، فَيَقْضُونَ لِلشَّعْبِ قَضَاءً عَادِلاً.

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.

لاَ تُحَرِّفِ الْقَضَاءَ، وَلاَ تَنْظُرْ إِلَى الْوُجُوهِ، وَلاَ تَأْخُذْ رَشْوَةً لأَنَّ الرَّشْوَةَ تُعْمِي أَعْيُنَ الْحُكَمَاءِ وَتُعَوِّجُ كَلاَمَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ.

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.

الْعَدْلَ الْعَدْلَ تَتَّبعُ، لِكَيْ تَحْيَا وَتَمْتَلِكَ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ.

That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

«لاَ تَنْصُبْ لِنَفْسِكَ سَارِيَةً مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مَّا بِجَانِبِ مَذْبَحِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ الَّذِي تَصْنَعُهُ لَكَ،

Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee.

وَلاَ تُقِمْ لَكَ نَصَبًا. الشَّيْءَ الَّذِي يُبْغِضُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ.

Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy God hateth.
