2 Mose 23
Hoffnung für Alle
Gerechtigkeit vor Gericht und Feindesliebe
23 »Verbreite kein falsches Gerücht! Weißt du aber sicher, dass jemand Unrecht getan hat, dann darfst du ihn nicht durch eine falsche Aussage entlasten. 2 Folge nicht der Mehrheit, wenn sie im Unrecht ist! Musst du vor Gericht aussagen, sollst du nicht der Mehrheit nach dem Mund reden und so ein gerechtes Urteil verhindern. 3 Du darfst aber auch einen Armen vor Gericht nicht begünstigen!
4 Wenn du ein Rind oder einen Esel deines Feindes umherirren siehst, dann bring das Tier auf jeden Fall zurück! 5 Wenn der Esel eines Menschen, der dich hasst, unter einer Last zusammengebrochen ist, dann geh nicht einfach vorüber! Hilf deinem Feind, das Tier wieder auf die Beine zu bringen.
6 Verweigere einem Armen vor Gericht nicht sein Recht! 7 Wenn vor Gericht gelogen wird, beteilige dich nicht daran! Verurteile den Unschuldigen nicht zum Tode, denn ich spreche niemanden frei, der ein solches Unrecht begeht. 8 Nimm keine Bestechungsgeschenke an, denn sie machen die Sehenden blind und verleiten dazu, das Recht zu beugen.
9 Unterdrückt die Fremden nicht! Ihr wisst ja, wie ihnen zumute sein muss, denn ihr seid selbst einmal Fremde in Ägypten gewesen.«
Sabbatgebote
10 »Sechs Jahre lang sollt ihr eure Felder bewirtschaften und die Ernte einbringen. 11 Aber im siebten Jahr lasst sie brachliegen, sät und erntet nicht! Was dann noch auf ihnen wächst, soll den Armen gehören, und den Rest mag das Wild fressen. Dasselbe gilt für eure Weinberge und Olivenhaine.
12 Sechs Tage lang sollt ihr eure Arbeit tun, aber am siebten Tag sollt ihr ruhen, damit eure Rinder und Esel sich erholen und auch eure Sklaven und die Fremden bei euch sich ausruhen können.
13 Haltet euch an alles, was ich euch befohlen habe! Betet nicht zu anderen Göttern, ich will ihre Namen aus eurem Mund nicht hören!«
Die drei Jahresfeste
14 »Dreimal im Jahr sollt ihr mir zu Ehren ein Fest feiern: 15 Feiert als erstes das Fest der ungesäuerten Brote! Sieben Tage im Monat Abib sollt ihr Brot essen, das ohne Sauerteig gebacken wurde, wie ich es euch befohlen habe. Denn in diesem Monat seid ihr aus Ägypten fortgezogen. Keiner soll mit leeren Händen zu meinem Heiligtum kommen! 16 Feiert dann das Erntefest[a], bei dem ihr mir den ersten Ertrag von dem Getreide darbringt, das ihr ausgesät habt. Als drittes sollt ihr das Fest der Wein- und Obsternte am Ende des Jahres[b] feiern, wenn ihr die Früchte aus den Weinbergen und Gärten geerntet habt. 17 Dreimal im Jahr sollen alle Männer Israels zum Heiligtum kommen und sich dort vor mir, dem Herrn, versammeln.
18 Wenn ihr ein Tier schlachtet und opfert, dürft ihr sein Blut nicht zusammen mit Speisen darbringen, die Sauerteig enthalten! Vom Fett der Tiere, die ihr mir an den Festtagen opfert, darf nichts bis zum nächsten Morgen übrig bleiben.
19 Bringt das Beste vom ersten Ertrag eurer Felder als Gabe in mein Heiligtum! Kocht ein Ziegenböckchen nicht in der Milch seiner Mutter!«
Der Engel des Herrn wird Israel führen
20 »Ich verspreche euch: Ich werde einen Engel vor euch hersenden, der euch auf dem Weg bewahrt und in das Land bringt, das ich für euch bestimmt habe. 21 Achtet ihn und hört auf seine Worte! Widersetzt euch ihm nicht! Er wird euch nicht vergeben, wenn ihr euch gegen ihn auflehnt, denn ich selbst bin in ihm gegenwärtig. 22 Wenn ihr aber bereitwillig auf das hört, was ich euch durch ihn mitteile, dann werden eure Feinde auch meine Feinde sein und eure Gegner meine Gegner.
23 Denn mein Engel wird vor euch herziehen und euch in das Land bringen, in dem jetzt noch die Amoriter, Hetiter, Perisiter, Kanaaniter, Hiwiter und Jebusiter leben. Alle diese Völker rotte ich aus. 24 Werft euch nicht vor ihren Göttern nieder und betet sie nicht an! Übernehmt auch nicht die heidnischen Bräuche dieser Völker! Ihr müsst ihre Götterfiguren zerstören und ihre heiligen Steinsäulen kurz und klein schlagen. 25 Dient mir, dem Herrn, eurem Gott! Dann werde ich euch reichlich Essen und Trinken geben und Krankheiten von euch fernhalten. 26 In eurem Land wird keine Frau Fehlgeburten haben, keine wird unfruchtbar sein; ich werde euch ein langes Leben schenken.
27 Den Völkern, zu denen ihr kommt, werde ich Angst und Schrecken einjagen; aus lauter Verwirrung werden eure Feinde Hals über Kopf vor euch fliehen. 28 Ich lasse Hornissen ausschwärmen[c], um die Hiwiter, Kanaaniter und Hetiter davonzujagen. 29 Aber ich werde sie nicht alle auf einmal vertreiben, sonst ist das Land menschenleer und öde, und die wilden Tiere vermehren sich so sehr, dass sie euch schaden. 30 Ich werde die Bewohner des Landes nach und nach vertreiben, bis euer Volk so groß geworden ist, dass ihr ganz Kanaan in Besitz nehmen könnt.
31 Euer Land wird vom Roten Meer bis zum Mittelmeer reichen und von der Wüste im Süden bis zum Euphrat; so habe ich es bestimmt. Die Menschen, die jetzt dort wohnen, gebe ich in eure Hand. Ihr werdet sie vertreiben, während ihr immer weiter vordringt. 32 Schließt keinen Bund mit ihnen und ihren Göttern! 33 Sie dürfen nicht in eurem Land bleiben, sonst verführen sie euch noch dazu, mir untreu zu werden. Denn wenn ihr ihre Götter verehrt, wird euch das zum Verhängnis!«

23 “ଅନ୍ୟ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ବିଷୟରେ ମିଥ୍ୟା କୁହ ନାହିଁ। କାହାରି ପାଇଁ ମିଥ୍ୟା ସାକ୍ଷୀ ଦେଇ, ତାକୁ ଅସୁବିଧାରେ ପକାଇବାକୁ ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଷଡ଼ଯନ୍ତ୍ର କର ନାହିଁ।
2 “ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଲୋକ ଗହଳି ସହିତ ଯୋଗଦେବା ଉଚିତ୍ ନୁହଁ ଏବଂ ନ୍ୟାୟକୁ ଭ୍ରଷ୍ଟ କରିବା ଉଚିତ୍ ନୁହଁ, ଯେତେବେଳେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନ୍ୟାୟାଳୟରେ ସାକ୍ଷ୍ୟ ଦିଅ।
3 “ସେ ଗରିବ ବୋଲି ନ୍ୟାୟାଳୟରେ ତାକୁ ବିଶେଷ ଅନୁକମ୍ପା ଦେଖାଅ ନାହିଁ।
4 “ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପଥହରା ଗୋରୁ କିମ୍ବା ଗଧ ଦେଖ, ତେବେ ତାକୁ ତା'ର ମୁନିବକୁ ଫେରାଇ ଦିଅ, ଯଦି ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଶତ୍ରୁ ବି ହୋଇଥାଏ।
5 “ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆପଣା ଶତ୍ରୁର ଗଧକୁ ଭାରତଳେ ପଡ଼ିଥିବାର ଦେଖିବ, ତାକୁ ଛାଡ଼ି ଯିବାରୁ ନିବୃତ୍ତ ହୁଅ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଅବଶ୍ୟ ତା’ ସଙ୍ଗରେ ତାକୁ ମୁକ୍ତ କରିବ।
6 “ଦରିଦ୍ରର ବିଗ୍ଭରରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତା’ ପ୍ରତି ଅନ୍ୟାୟ କରିବ ନାହିଁ। ତାକୁ ଅନ୍ୟ ଲୋକଙ୍କ ପରି ନ୍ୟାୟ ଦେବ।
7 “କୌଣସି ଲୋକକୁ ଅଯଥା ବଦ୍ନାମ କର ନାହିଁ। ତା’ ନାମରେ ମିଥ୍ୟା ଦାବି କର ନାହିଁ। କୌଣସି ନିରୀହ ଲୋକକୁ ଅନ୍ୟାୟରେ ସେ ନ କରିଥିବା କର୍ମ ପାଇଁ ଦଣ୍ଡ ଦିଅ ନାହିଁ। ଯଦି କୌଣସି ଲୋକ ଏକ ନିରୀହ ଲୋକକୁ ହତ୍ୟା କରିଥାଏ ତେବେ ମୁଁ ତାକୁ କ୍ଷମା ଦେବି ନାହିଁ।
8 “ଯଦି କୌଣସି ଲୋକ ତା'ର ଭୁଲ୍ ପାଇଁ, ତାହା ସହ ଏକମତ ହେବା ପାଇଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଲାଞ୍ଚ ଦିଏ ତେବେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତାହା ଗ୍ରହଣ କର ନାହିଁ। କାରଣ ଲାଞ୍ଚ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଅନ୍ଧ କରିଥାଏ। ବିଗ୍ଭରକ ସତ୍ୟତା ଦେଖି ପାରେ ନାହିଁ। ଏବଂ ଲାଞ୍ଚ ମଧ୍ୟ ଏକ ଉତ୍ତମ ଲୋକର ବ୍ୟବହାର ବଦଳାଇ ଦେଇ ପାରିବ।
9 “ତୁମ୍ଭେ କେବେବି ବିଦେଶୀମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଅନ୍ୟାୟ କର ନାହିଁ। ମନେରଖ, ଏକ ସମୟରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ ବିଦେଶୀ ଥିଲ ଯେତେବେଳେ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ମିଶରରେ ବାସ କରୁଥିଲ।
10 “ମଞ୍ଜି ବୁଣା, ଶସ୍ୟଅମଳ କର, ଭୂମିକୁ ଛଅ ବର୍ଷ ପାଇଁ ଫସଲ କର। 11 କିନ୍ତୁ ସପ୍ତମ ବର୍ଷ ଜମିରେ ଆଉ ଫସଲ କର ନାହିଁ। ସପ୍ତମ ବର୍ଷଟି ଭୂମିକୁ ପଡ଼ିଆ ରଖ। ଏହି ସମୟରେ ତୁମ୍ଭର କ୍ଷେତ୍ରରେ କୌଣସି ଫସଲ କର ନାହିଁ। ଯଦି କୌଣସି ଫସଲ ହୁଏ ତେବେ ଦରିଦ୍ର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଛାଡ଼ିଦିଅ ଏବଂ ଅବଶିଷ୍ଟକୁ ବଣ୍ୟଜନ୍ତୁମାନଙ୍କୁ ଖାଇବାକୁ ଛାଡ଼ିଦିଅ। ଏପରିକି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାକ୍ଷେତ୍ର ଏବଂ ଜୀତବୃକ୍ଷ ଥିବା କ୍ଷେତ୍ର ପାଇଁ ଏହିପରି କର।
12 “ଛଅ ଦିନ ଧରି କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ କର ଏବଂ ସପ୍ତମ ଦିନରେ ବିଶ୍ରାମ କର। ଏପରି ମଧ୍ୟ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଦାସମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଏବଂ ବିଦେଶୀମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଏହିପରି କର ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଗୋରୁ ଏବଂ ଗଧମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ମଧ୍ୟ ଏପରି କରିବ। ସେମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ସପ୍ତମ ଦିନଟି ବିଶ୍ରାମ ଦେବ।
13 “ସାବଧାନ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋର ସମସ୍ତ ବ୍ୟବସ୍ଥା ମାନିବ। ଅନ୍ୟ ଦେବତାମାନଙ୍କୁ ପୂଜା କର ନାହିଁ, କିମ୍ବା ତାଙ୍କର ନାମ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ମୁଖରେ ଧର ନାହିଁ।
14 “ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ବର୍ଷରେ ତିନିଥର ମୋ’ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ୟରେ ଉତ୍ସବ କର। ସେହି ଉତ୍ସବ ଗୁଡ଼ିକରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ମୋର ପବିତ୍ର ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ଆସି ଉପାସନା କର। 15 ପ୍ରଥମ ଉତ୍ସବଟି ତାଡ଼ିଶୂନ୍ୟ ରୋଟୀର ଉତ୍ସବ। ଏହା ମୋର ଆଜ୍ଞାନୁସାରେ ପାଳନ କରିବ। ଏହିପରି ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ସାତ ଦିନ ଯାଏ ପାଳନ କରିବ। ଏହି ଉତ୍ସବଟିକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଆବୀବ୍ ମାସରେ ପାଳନ କରିବ। କାରଣ ଏହି ମାସରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ମିଶରରୁ ମୁକ୍ତ ହୋଇଥିଲ। ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ ଲୋକ ମୋତେ ନୈବେଦ୍ୟ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କରିବ।
16 “ପ୍ରଥମ ଫସଲର ଫଳ ସଂଗ୍ରହ ଉତ୍ସବ ହେଉଛି ଦ୍ୱିତୀୟ ଉତ୍ସବ। ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଏହାକୁ ଗ୍ରୀଷ୍ମ ସମୟର ଆରମ୍ଭରେ ପାଳନ କରିବ।
“ଏବଂ ତୃତୀୟ ଉତ୍ସବଟି ହେଉଛି ସଂଗ୍ରହର ଉତ୍ସବ। ଏହି ଉତ୍ସବଟି ବର୍ଷ ଶେଷରେ ଫଳ ସଂଗ୍ରହ କଲାବେଳେ ପାଳନ କରିବ।
17 “ତେଣୁ ବର୍ଷ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ତିନିଥର ସମସ୍ତ ପୁରୁଷ ପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ସାକ୍ଷାତରେ ସ୍ୱତନ୍ତ୍ର ସ୍ଥାନରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହେବେ।
18 “ଯେତେବେଳେ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପଶୁ ହତ୍ୟା କରିବ ତା'ର ରକ୍ତ ମୋ’ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ୟରେ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କରିବ। ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ତାଡ଼ିଯୁକ୍ତ ରୋଟୀ ମୋତେ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କରିବ ନାହିଁ। ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେତେବେଳେ ବଳିର ମାଂସ ଖାଇବ ସେତେବେଳେ ସେହି ମାଂସକୁ ଗୋଟିଏ ଦିନରେ ଖାଇ ଶେଷ କରିବ। ତା’ ପରଦିନକୁ ବଳକା ମାଂସ ରଖିବ ନାହିଁ।
19 “ଶସ୍ୟଅମଳ ସମୟରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେତେବେଳେ ଶସ୍ୟ ସାଇତିବ ପ୍ରଥମ ଶସ୍ୟ ଆଗେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ଗୃହକୁ ଆଣିବ।
“ତୁମ୍ଭେ କୌଣସି ଯୁବା ଛାଗର ମାଂସକୁ ତା'ର ମାତୃ ଦୁଗ୍ଧରେ ପାକ କରିବ ନାହିଁ।”
ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ଇସ୍ରାଏଲଙ୍କୁ ଆପଣା ଜମି ନେବାକୁ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କରିବେ
20 ପରମେଶ୍ୱର କହିଲେ, “ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ନିକଟକୁ ସ୍ୱର୍ଗଦୂତ ପଠାଉଛୁ ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆମ୍ଭେ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରିଥିବା ଦେଶକୁ ନେଇଯିବେ। ସେହି ସ୍ୱର୍ଗଦୂତ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ସୁରକ୍ଷା ଦେବେ। 21 ସ୍ୱର୍ଗଦୂତଙ୍କ କଥା ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ମାନ ଏବଂ ତାଙ୍କୁ ଅନୁସରଣ କର। ତାଙ୍କର ବିରୁଦ୍ଧାଚରଣ କର ନାହିଁ। କାରଣ ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଅଧର୍ମକୁ କ୍ଷମା କରିବେ ନାହିଁ। ମୋର ଶକ୍ତି ତାଙ୍କଠାରେ ନିହିତ ଅଛି। 22 ତାଙ୍କର ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ କଥାକୁ ମାନ। ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଯାହାସବୁ କହିବେ ତାହା ସବୁ ପାଳନ କର। ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତାହା ପାଳନ କର ଦେବେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ରହିବା। ଏବଂ ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସମସ୍ତ ଶତ୍ରୁମାନଙ୍କର ବିରୋଧ କରିବା। ଯେଉଁମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ବିରୋଧ କରିବେ ସେମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭର ଶତ୍ରୁ ହେବେ।”
23 ପରମେଶ୍ୱର କହିଲେ, “ଆମ୍ଭର ଦୂତ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କ୍ଷେତ୍ର ମଧ୍ୟଦେଇ ଆଗେଇ ନେବେ। ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଇମୋରୀୟ, ହିତ୍ତୀୟ, ପିରିଷୀୟ, କିଣାନୀୟ, ହିବ୍ବୀୟ ଓ ଯିବୂଷୀୟମାନଙ୍କ ଦେଶକୁ ଆଣିବେ। ପୁଣି ଆମ୍ଭେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଉଚ୍ଛିନ୍ନ କରିବା।
24 “ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ଦେବତାଗଣଙ୍କୁ ପୂଜା କରିବ ନାହିଁ। ସେମାନଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମୁଖରେ ପ୍ରଣାମ କରିବ ନାହିଁ, ସେମାନଙ୍କ କ୍ରିୟାନୁସାରେ କ୍ରିୟା କରିବ ନାହିଁ। ମାତ୍ର ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ସମୂଳେ ଉତ୍ପାଟନ କରିବ। ସେମାନଙ୍କର ସ୍ତମ୍ଭସବୁ ଭାଙ୍ଗି ପକାଇବ। 25 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସର୍ବଦା ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କର ସେବା କରିବ। ତହିଁରେ ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଅନ୍ନଜଳରେ ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦ କରିବେ। ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ ରୋଗ ଦୂର କରିବା। 26 ତୁମ୍ଭର ସମସ୍ତ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଲୋକ ମାତୃତ୍ୱର ଅଧିକାରୀ ହେବେ। କେହି ବନ୍ଧ୍ୟା ରହିବେ ନାହିଁ କି ସନ୍ତାନ ଜନ୍ମ ସମୟରେ କୌଣସି ଶିଶୁର ମୃତ୍ୟୁ ଘଟିବ ନାହିଁ। ପୁଣି ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଦୀର୍ଘଜୀବୀ ହେବ।
27 “ଯେତେବେଳେ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଶତ୍ରୁମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଯୁଦ୍ଧ କରିବ ସେ ସମୟରେ ମୋର ମହାନ୍ ଶକ୍ତି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସହାୟ ହେବ। ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ସମସ୍ତ ଶତ୍ରୁମାନଙ୍କୁ ଯୁଦ୍ଧରେ ପରାସ୍ତ କରିବ। ଯେଉଁମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ଯୁଦ୍ଧ କରିବେ ସେମାନେ ଇତସ୍ତତଃ ହୋଇ ଦୌଡ଼ି ପଳାଇବେ। 28 ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଆଗେ, ଆଗେ ବିରୁଡ଼ିମାନଙ୍କୁ ପାଠାଇବି। ସେମାନେ ହିବ୍ବୀୟ, କିଣାନୀୟ, ହିତ୍ତୀୟମାନଙ୍କୁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଦେଶରୁ ଘଉଡ଼ାଇ ଦେବେ। 29 ମାତ୍ର ଏକ ବର୍ଷରେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସମ୍ମୁଖରୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଘଉଡ଼ାଇ ଦେବା ନାହିଁ। ତାହାହେଲେ ଦେଶ ଶୂନ୍ୟ ହୋଇଯିବ ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପ୍ରତିକୂଳରେ ବନ୍ୟ ପଶୁମାନଙ୍କ ସଂଖ୍ୟା ବୃଦ୍ଧି ପାଇବ। 30 ଆମ୍ଭେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଧୀରେ ଧୀରେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସମ୍ମୁଖରୁ ଘଉଡ଼ାଇ ଦେବା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ବର୍ଦ୍ଧିତ ହେବା ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଓ ଦେଶ ଅଧିକାର କରିବା ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ।
31 “ମୁଁ ସୂଫସାଗରଠାରୁ ଫରାତ୍ ନଦୀ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ତୁମ୍ଭର ସୀମା ନିର୍ଦ୍ଧାରଣ କରିବି। ପଲେଷ୍ଟୀୟମାନଙ୍କର ସମୁଦ୍ର ତୁମ୍ଭର ପଶ୍ଚିମ ସୀମାରେ ଏବଂ ଆରବ ମରୁଭୂମି ପୂର୍ବ ସୀମାରେ ରହିବ। କାରଣ ମୁଁ ସେହି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ହସ୍ତରେ ସମର୍ପଣ କରିବି। ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆପଣା ସମ୍ମୁଖରୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଘଉଡ଼ାଇ ଦେବ।
32 “ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ କିମ୍ବା ସେମାନଙ୍କ ଦେବତାଗଣ ସହିତ କୌଣସି ଚୁକ୍ତି କରିବ ନାହିଁ। 33 ସେମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଦେଶରେ ବାସ କରିବେ ନାହିଁ। ସେମାନେ ବାସ କଲେ ଆମ୍ଭ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ପାପ କରାଇବେ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେବେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ଦେବତାଗଣଙ୍କୁ ପୂଜା କର, ତେବେ ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭର ଫାନ୍ଦ ସ୍ୱରୂପ ହେବ।”
Exodus 23
King James Version
Exodus 23
King James Version
23 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
3 Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
4 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
6 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
9 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
11 But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.
12 Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
13 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
14 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)
16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.
17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord God.
18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
19 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
25 And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
27 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.
28 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.
30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.
32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.

4 “If you come across your enemy’s(F) ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to return it.(G) 5 If you see the donkey(H) of someone who hates you fallen down under its load, do not leave it there; be sure you help them with it.
6 “Do not deny justice(I) to your poor people in their lawsuits. 7 Have nothing to do with a false charge(J) and do not put an innocent(K) or honest person to death,(L) for I will not acquit the guilty.(M)
8 “Do not accept a bribe,(N) for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the innocent.
9 “Do not oppress a foreigner;(O) you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt.
Sabbath Laws
10 “For six years you are to sow your fields and harvest the crops, 11 but during the seventh year let the land lie unplowed and unused.(P) Then the poor among your people may get food from it, and the wild animals may eat what is left. Do the same with your vineyard and your olive grove.
12 “Six days do your work,(Q) but on the seventh day do not work, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and so that the slave born in your household and the foreigner living among you may be refreshed.(R)
13 “Be careful(S) to do everything I have said to you. Do not invoke the names of other gods;(T) do not let them be heard on your lips.(U)
The Three Annual Festivals
14 “Three times(V) a year you are to celebrate a festival to me.
15 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread;(W) for seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv,(X) for in that month you came out of Egypt.
“No one is to appear before me empty-handed.(Y)
16 “Celebrate the Festival of Harvest(Z) with the firstfruits(AA) of the crops you sow in your field.
“Celebrate the Festival of Ingathering(AB) at the end of the year, when you gather in your crops from the field.(AC)
17 “Three times(AD) a year all the men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord.
18 “Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast.(AE)
“The fat of my festival offerings must not be kept until morning.(AF)

“Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.(AH)
God’s Angel to Prepare the Way
20 “See, I am sending an angel(AI) ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.(AJ) 21 Pay attention to him and listen(AK) to what he says. Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive(AL) your rebellion,(AM) since my Name(AN) is in him. 22 If you listen carefully to what he says and do(AO) all that I say, I will be an enemy(AP) to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you. 23 My angel will go ahead of you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites,(AQ) and I will wipe them out. 24 Do not bow down before their gods or worship(AR) them or follow their practices.(AS) You must demolish(AT) them and break their sacred stones(AU) to pieces. 25 Worship the Lord your God,(AV) and his blessing(AW) will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness(AX) from among you, 26 and none will miscarry or be barren(AY) in your land. I will give you a full life span.(AZ)
27 “I will send my terror(BA) ahead of you and throw into confusion(BB) every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run.(BC) 28 I will send the hornet(BD) ahead of you to drive the Hivites, Canaanites and Hittites(BE) out of your way. 29 But I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals(BF) too numerous for you. 30 Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession(BG) of the land.
31 “I will establish your borders from the Red Sea[a] to the Mediterranean Sea,[b] and from the desert to the Euphrates River.(BH) I will give into your hands the people who live in the land, and you will drive them out(BI) before you. 32 Do not make a covenant(BJ) with them or with their gods. 33 Do not let them live in your land or they will cause you to sin against me, because the worship of their gods will certainly be a snare(BK) to you.”

Justice for All
23 “You (A)shall not circulate a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an (B)unrighteous witness. 2 (C)You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; (D)nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert justice. 3 You shall not show partiality to a (E)poor man in his dispute.
4 (F)“If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again. 5 (G)If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying under its burden, and you would refrain from helping it, you shall surely help him with it.
6 (H)“You shall not pervert the judgment of your poor in his dispute. 7 (I)Keep yourself far from a false matter; (J)do not kill the innocent and righteous. For (K)I will not justify the wicked. 8 And (L)you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the discerning and perverts the words of the righteous.
9 “Also (M)you shall not oppress a [a]stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger, because you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
The Law of Sabbaths
10 (N)“Six years you shall sow your land and gather in its produce, 11 but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave, the beasts of the field may eat. In like manner you shall do with your vineyard and your [b]olive grove. 12 (O)Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female servant and the stranger may be refreshed.
13 “And in all that I have said to you, (P)be circumspect and (Q)make no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth.
Three Annual Feasts(R)
14 (S)“Three times you shall keep a feast to Me in the year: 15 (T)You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt; (U)none shall appear before Me empty); 16 (V)and the Feast of Harvest, the firstfruits of your labors which you have sown in the field; and (W)the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labors from the field.
17 (X)“Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord [c]God.
18 (Y)“You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened (Z)bread; nor shall the fat of My [d]sacrifice remain until morning. 19 (AA)The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God. (AB)You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
The Angel and the Promises
20 (AC)“Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. 21 Beware of Him and obey His voice; (AD)do not provoke Him, for He will (AE)not pardon your transgressions; for (AF)My name is in Him. 22 But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then (AG)I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. 23 (AH)For My Angel will go before you and (AI)bring you in to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites and the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will [e]cut them off. 24 You shall not (AJ)bow down to their gods, nor serve them, (AK)nor do according to their works; (AL)but you shall utterly overthrow them and completely break down their sacred pillars.
25 “So you shall (AM)serve the Lord your God, and (AN)He will bless your bread and your water. And (AO)I will take sickness away from the midst of you. 26 (AP)No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will (AQ)fulfill the number of your days.
27 “I will send (AR)My fear before you, I will (AS)cause confusion among all the people to whom you come, and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. 28 And (AT)I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before you. 29 (AU)I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. 30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land. 31 And (AV)I will set your [f]bounds from the Red Sea to the sea, Philistia, and from the desert to the [g]River. For I will (AW)deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you. 32 (AX)You shall make no [h]covenant with them, nor with their gods. 33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, (AY)it will surely be a snare to you.”
