Deuteronomy 23
1 He who is wounded in the testicles, or has his private part cut off, shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah.
「凡外腎受傷的，或被閹割的，不可入耶和華的會。
2 A bastard shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah, even to the tenth generation none of his shall enter into the assembly of Jehovah.
「私生子不可入耶和華的會；他的子孫，直到十代，也不可入耶和華的會。
3 An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah, even to the tenth generation none belonging to them shall enter into the assembly of Jehovah forever,
「亞捫人或是摩押人不可入耶和華的會；他們的子孫，雖過十代，也永不可入耶和華的會。
4 because they met you not with bread and with water on the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
因為你們出埃及的時候，他們沒有拿食物和水在路上迎接你們，又因他們雇了美索不達米亞的毗奪人比珥的兒子巴蘭來咒詛你們。
5 Nevertheless Jehovah thy God would not hearken to Balaam, but Jehovah thy God turned the curse into a blessing to thee, because Jehovah thy God loved thee.
然而耶和華－你的上帝不肯聽從巴蘭，卻使那咒詛的言語變為祝福的話，因為耶和華－你的上帝愛你。
6 Thou shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days forever.
你一生一世永不可求他們的平安和他們的利益。
7 Thou shall not abhor an Edomite, for he is thy brother. Thou shall not abhor an Egyptian, because thou were a sojourner in his land.
「不可憎惡以東人，因為他是你的弟兄。不可憎惡埃及人，因為你在他的地上作過寄居的。
8 The sons of the third generation who are born to them shall enter into the assembly of Jehovah.
他們第三代子孫可以入耶和華的會。」
9 When the army goes forth against thine enemies, then thou shall keep thee from every evil thing.
「你出兵攻打仇敵，就要遠避諸惡。
10 If there be among you any man, who is not clean by reason of an accident by night, then he shall go abroad out of the camp. He shall not come inside the camp.
「你們中間，若有人夜間偶然夢遺，不潔淨，就要出到營外，不可入營；
11 But it shall be, when evening comes on, he shall bathe himself in water, and when the sun is down, he shall come inside the camp.
到傍晚的時候，他要用水洗澡，及至日落了才可以入營。
12 Thou shall have a place also outside the camp, where thou shall go forth abroad.
「你在營外也該定出一個地方作為便所。
13 And thou shall have a paddle among thy weapons, and it shall be, when thou sit down abroad, thou shall dig with it, and shall turn back and cover that which comes from thee.
在你器械之中當預備一把鍬，你出營外便溺以後，用以鏟土，轉身掩蓋。
14 For Jehovah thy God walks in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee. Therefore thy camp shall be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
因為耶和華－你的上帝常在你營中行走，要救護你，將仇敵交給你，所以你的營理當聖潔，免得他見你那裏有污穢，就離開你。」
15 Thou shall not deliver to his master a servant who is escaped from his master to thee.
「若有奴僕脫了主人的手，逃到你那裏，你不可將他交付他的主人。
16 He shall dwell with thee, in the midst of thee, in the place which he shall choose within one of thy gates, where it pleases him best. Thou shall not oppress him.
他必在你那裏與你同住，在你的城邑中，要由他選擇一個所喜悅的地方居住；你不可欺負他。
17 There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
「以色列的女子中不可有妓女；以色列的男子中不可有孌童。
18 Thou shall not bring the hire of a harlot, or the wages of a dog, into the house of Jehovah thy God for any vow, for even both these are an abomination to Jehovah thy God.
娼妓所得的錢，或孌童所得的價，你不可帶入耶和華－你上帝的殿還願，因為這兩樣都是耶和華－你上帝所憎惡的。
19 Thou shall not lend upon interest to thy brother: interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent upon interest.
「你借給你弟兄的，或是錢財或是糧食，無論甚麼可生利的物，都不可取利。
20 To a foreigner thou may lend upon interest, but to thy brother thou shall not lend upon interest, that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all that thou put thy hand to, in the land where thou go in to possess it.
借給外邦人可以取利，只是借給你弟兄不可取利。這樣，耶和華－你上帝必在你所去得為業的地上和你手裏所辦的一切事上賜福與你。
21 When thou shall vow a vow to Jehovah thy God, thou shall not be slack to pay it. For Jehovah thy God will surely require it of thee, and it would be sin in thee.
「你向耶和華－你的上帝許願，償還不可遲延；因為耶和華－你的上帝必定向你追討，你不償還就有罪。
22 But if thou shall forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
你若不許願，倒無罪。
23 That which has gone out of thy lips thou shall observe and do, according as thou have vowed to Jehovah thy God, a freewill offering, which thou have promised with thy mouth.
你嘴裏所出的，就是你口中應許甘心所獻的，要照你向耶和華－你上帝所許的願謹守遵行。
24 When thou come into thy neighbor's vineyard, then thou may eat thy fill of grapes at thine own pleasure, but thou shall not put any in thy vessel.
「你進了鄰舍的葡萄園，可以隨意吃飽了葡萄，只是不可裝在器皿中。
25 When thou come into thy neighbor's standing grain, then thou may pluck the ears with thy hand, but thou shall not move a sickle to thy neighbor's standing grain.
你進了鄰舍站着的禾稼，可以用手摘穗子，只是不可用鐮刀割取禾稼。」
