< Deuteronomy 22 >

1 Thou shall not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them. Thou shall surely bring them again to thy brother.
Non videbis bovem fratris tui, aut ovem errantem, et praeteribis: sed reduces fratri tuo,
2 And if thy brother be not near to thee, or if thou do not know him, then thou shall bring it home to thy house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seeks after it, and thou shall restore it to him.
etiamsi non est propinquus frater tuus, nec nosti eum: duces in domum tuam, et erunt apud te quamdiu quaerat ea frater tuus, et recipiat.
3 And so shall thou do with his donkey, and so shall thou do with his garment, and so shall thou do with every lost thing of thy brother's, which he has lost, and thou have found. Thou may not hide thyself.
Similiter facies de asino, et de vestimento, et de omni re fratris tui, quae perierit: si inveneris eam, ne negligas quasi alienam.
4 Thou shall not see thy brother's donkey or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide thyself from them. Thou shall surely help him to lift them up again.
Si videris asinum fratris tui aut bovem cecidisse in via, non despicies, sed sublevabis cum eo.
5 A woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment, for whoever does these things is an abomination to Jehovah thy God.
Non induetur mulier veste virili, nec vir utetur veste feminea: abominabilis enim apud Deum est qui facit haec.
6 If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young or upon the eggs, thou shall not take the dam with the young.
Si ambulans per viam, in arbore vel in terra nidum avis inveneris, et matrem pullis vel ovis desuper incubantem: non tenebis eam cum filiis,
7 Thou shall surely let the dam go, but the young thou may take to thyself, that it may be well with thee, and that thou may prolong thy days.
sed abire patieris, captos tenens filios: ut bene sit tibi, et longo vivas tempore.
8 When thou build a new house, then thou shall make a guard rail for thy roof, that thou not bring blood upon thy house, if any man falls from there.
Cum aedificaveris domum novam, facies murum tecti per circuitum: ne effundatur sanguis in domo tua, et sis reus labente illo, et in praeceps ruente.
9 Thou shall not sow thy vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest the whole fruit be forfeited: the seed which thou have sown, and the increase of the vineyard.
Non seres vineam tuam altero semine: ne et sementis quam sevisti, et quae nascuntur ex vinea, pariter sanctificentur.
10 Thou shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.
Non arabis in bove simul et asino.
11 Thou shall not wear a mingled stuff, wool and linen together.
Non indueris vestimento, quod ex lana linoque contextum est.
12 Thou shall make for thee hems upon the four borders of thy clothing, with which thou cover thyself.
Funiculos in fimbriis facies per quattuor angulos pallii tui, quo operieris.
13 If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and dislikes her,
Si duxerit vir uxorem, et postea odio habuerit eam,
14 and charges her with shameful things, and brings up an evil name upon her, and says, I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I did not find in her the tokens of virginity,
quaesieritque occasiones quibus dimittat eam, obiiciens ei nomen pessimum, et dixerit: Uxorem hanc accepi, et ingressus ad eam non inveni virginem:
15 then the father of the damsel, and her mother, shall take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity to the elders of the city in the gate.
tollent eam pater et mater eius, et ferent secum signa virginitatis eius ad seniores urbis qui in porta sunt:
16 And the damsel's father shall say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he dislikes her.
et dicet pater: Filiam meam dedi huic uxorem: quam quia odit,
17 And, lo, he has charged her with shameful things, saying, I did not find in thy daughter the tokens of virginity, and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the city.
imponit ei nomen pessimum, ut dicat: Non inveni filiam tuam virginem: et ecce haec sunt signa virginitatis filiae meae. expandent vestimentum coram senioribus civitatis:
18 And the elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him,
apprehendentque senes urbis illius virum, et verberabunt illum,
19 and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the damsel, because he has brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel, and she shall be his wife. He may not put her away all his days.
condemnantes insuper centum siclis argenti, quos dabit patri puellae, quoniam diffamavit nomen pessimum super virginem Israel: habebitque eam uxorem, et non poterit dimittere eam omnibus diebus vitae suae.
20 But if this thing be true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the damsel,
Quod si verum est quod obiicit, et non est in puella inventa virginitas:
21 then they shall bring the damsel out to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has wrought folly in Israel, to play the harlot in her father's house. So shall thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.
eiicient eam extra fores domus patris sui, et lapidibus obruent viri civitatis illius, et morietur: quoniam fecit nefas in Israel, ut fornicaretur in domo patris sui: et auferes malum de medio tui.
22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman. So shall thou put away the evil from Israel.
Si dormierit vir cum uxore alterius, uterque morietur, id est, adulter et adultera: et auferes malum de Israel.
23 If there be a damsel who is a virgin betrothed to a husband, and a man finds her in the city, and lies with her,
Si puellam virginem desponderit vir, et invenerit eam aliquis in civitate, et concubuerit cum ea,
24 then ye shall bring them both out to the gate of that city. And ye shall stone them to death with stones, the damsel, because she did not cry out, being in the city, and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor's wife. So thou shall put away the evil from the midst of thee.
educes utrumque ad portam civitatis illius, et lapidibus obruentur: puella, quia non clamavit, cum esset in civitate: vir, quia humiliavit uxorem proximi sui. et auferes malum de medio tui.
25 But if the man finds the damsel who is betrothed in the field, and the man forces her, and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die,
Sin autem in agro repererit vir puellam, quae desponsata est, et apprehendens concubuerit cum ea, ipse morietur solus:
26 but to the damsel thou shall do nothing. There is in the damsel no sin worthy of death. For as when a man rises against his neighbor, and kills him, even so is this matter,
puella nihil patietur, nec est rea mortis: quoniam sicut latro consurgit contra fratrem suum, et occidit animam eius, ita et puella perpessa est.
27 for he found her in the field, the betrothed damsel cried out, and there was none to save her.
sola erat in agro: clamavit, et nullus affuit qui liberaret eam.
28 If a man finds a damsel who is a virgin, who is not betrothed, and lays hold on her, and lies with her, and they be found,
Si invenerit vir puellam virginem, quae non habet sponsum, et apprehendens concubuerit cum illa, et res ad iudicium venerit:
29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has humbled her. He may not put her away all his days.
dabit qui dormivit cum ea, patri puellae quinquaginta siclos argenti, et habebit eam uxorem, quia humiliavit illam: non poterit dimittere eam cunctis diebus vitae suae.
30 A man shall not take his father's wife, and shall not uncover his father's skirt.
Non accipiet homo uxorem patris sui, nec revelabit operimentum eius.
