Deuteronomy 22
1 If you see your brother’s ox or sheep straying, you must not ignore it; be sure to return it to your brother.
non videbis bovem fratris tui aut ovem errantem et praeteribis sed reduces fratri tuo
2 If your brother does not live near you, or if you do not know who he is, you are to take the animal home to remain with you until your brother comes seeking it; then you can return it to him.
etiam si non est propinquus tuus frater nec nosti eum duces in domum tuam et erunt apud te quamdiu quaerat ea frater tuus et recipiat
3 And you shall do the same for his donkey, his cloak, or anything your brother has lost and you have found. You must not ignore it.
similiter facies de asino et de vestimento et de omni re fratris tui quae perierit si inveneris eam ne neglegas quasi alienam
4 If you see your brother’s donkey or ox fallen on the road, you must not ignore it; you must help him lift it up.
si videris asinum fratris tui aut bovem cecidisse in via non despicies sed sublevabis cum eo
5 A woman must not wear men’s clothing, and a man must not wear women’s clothing, for whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD your God.
non induetur mulier veste virili nec vir utetur veste feminea abominabilis enim apud Deum est qui facit haec
6 If you come across a bird’s nest with chicks or eggs, either in a tree or on the ground along the road, and the mother is sitting on the chicks or eggs, you must not take the mother along 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 You may take the young, but be sure to let the mother go, so that it may be well with you and that you may prolong your days.
sed abire patieris captos tenens filios ut bene sit tibi et longo vivas tempore
8 If you build a new house, you are to construct a railing around your roof, so that you do not bring bloodguilt on your house if someone falls from it.
cum aedificaveris domum novam facies murum tecti per circuitum ne effundatur sanguis in domo tua et sis reus labente alio et in praeceps ruente
9 Do not plant your vineyard with two types of seed; if you do, the entire harvest will be defiled —both the crop you plant and the fruit of your vineyard.
non seres vineam tuam altero semine ne et sementis quam sevisti et quae nascuntur ex vinea pariter sanctificentur
10 Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.
non arabis in bove simul et asino
11 Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.
non indueris vestimento quod ex lana linoque contextum est
12 You are to make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you wear.
funiculos in fimbriis facies per quattuor angulos pallii tui quo operieris
13 Suppose a man marries a woman, has relations with her, and comes to hate her,
si duxerit vir uxorem et postea eam odio habuerit
14 and he then accuses her of shameful conduct and gives her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman and had relations with her, but I discovered she was not a virgin.”
quaesieritque occasiones quibus dimittat eam obiciens ei nomen pessimum et dixerit uxorem hanc accepi et ingressus ad eam non inveni virginem
15 Then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring the proof of her virginity to the city elders at the gate
tollent eam pater et mater eius et ferent secum signa virginitatis eius ad seniores urbis qui in porta sunt
16 and say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he has come to hate her.
et dicet pater filiam meam dedi huic uxorem quam quia odit
17 And now he has accused her of shameful conduct, saying, ‘I discovered that your daughter was not a virgin.’ But here is the proof of her virginity.” And they shall spread out the cloth before the city elders.
inponet ei nomen pessimum ut dicat non inveni filiam tuam virginem et ecce haec sunt signa virginitatis filiae meae expandent vestimentum coram senibus civitatis
18 Then the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him.
adprehendentque senes urbis illius virum et verberabunt illum
19 They are also to fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given a virgin of Israel a bad name. And she shall remain his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.
condemnantes insuper centum siclis argenti quos dabit patri puellae quoniam diffamavit nomen pessimum super virginem Israhel habebitque eam uxorem et non poterit dimittere omni tempore vitae suae
20 If, however, this accusation is true, and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found,
quod si verum est quod obicit et non est in puella inventa virginitas
21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house, and there the men of her city will stone her to death. For she has committed an outrage in Israel by being promiscuous in her father’s house. So you must purge the evil from among you.
eicient eam extra fores domus patris sui et lapidibus obruent viri civitatis eius et morietur quoniam fecit nefas in Israhel ut fornicaretur in domo patris sui et auferes malum de medio tui
22 If a man is found lying with another man’s wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.
si dormierit vir cum uxore alterius uterque morientur id est adulter et adultera et auferes malum de Israhel
23 If there is a virgin pledged in marriage to a man, and another man encounters her in the city and sleeps with her,
si puellam virginem desponderit vir et invenerit eam aliquis in civitate et concubuerit cum illa
24 you must take both of them out to the gate of that city and stone them to death—the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he has violated his neighbor’s wife. So you must purge the evil from among you.
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 encounters a betrothed woman in the open country, and he overpowers her and lies with her, only the man who has done this must die.
sin autem in agro reppererit vir puellam quae desponsata est et adprehendens concubuerit cum illa ipse morietur solus
26 Do nothing to the young woman, because she has committed no sin worthy of death. This case is just like one in which a man attacks his neighbor and murders him.
puella nihil patietur nec est rea mortis quoniam sicut latro consurgit contra fratrem suum et occidit animam eius ita et puella perpessa est
27 When he found her in the field, the betrothed woman cried out, but there was no one to save her.
sola erat in agro clamavit et nullus adfuit qui liberaret eam
28 If a man encounters a virgin who is not pledged in marriage, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered,
si invenerit vir puellam virginem quae non habet sponsum et adprehendens concubuerit cum ea et res ad iudicium venerit
29 then the man who lay with her must pay the young woman’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she must become his wife because he has violated her. He must not divorce her as long as he lives.
dabit qui dormivit cum ea patri puellae quinquaginta siclos argenti et habebit eam uxorem quia humiliavit illam non poterit dimittere cunctis diebus vitae suae
30 A man is not to marry his father’s wife, so that he will not dishonor his father’s marriage bed.
non accipiet homo uxorem patris sui nec revelabit operimentum eius
