Deuteronomy 23
1 No man with crushed or severed genitals may enter the assembly of the LORD.
Non intravit eunuchus, attritis vel amputatis testiculis et abscisso veretro, ecclesiam Domini.
2 No one of illegitimate birth may enter the assembly of the LORD, nor may any of his descendants, even to the tenth generation.
Non ingredietur mamzer, hoc est, de scorto natus, in ecclesiam Domini, usque ad decimam generationem.
3 No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even to the tenth generation.
Ammonites et Moabites etiam post decimam generationem non intrabunt ecclesiam Domini in æternum:
4 For they did not meet you with food and water on your way out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to curse you.
quia noluerunt vobis occurrere cum pane et aqua in via quando egressi estis de Ægypto: et quia conduxerunt contra te Balaam filium Beor de Mesopotamia Syriæ, ut malediceret tibi:
5 Yet the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam, and the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you.
et noluit Dominus Deus tuus audire Balaam, vertitque maledictionem ejus in benedictionem tuam, eo quod diligeret te.
6 You are not to seek peace or prosperity from them as long as you live.
Non facies cum eis pacem, nec quæras eis bona cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ in sempiternum.
7 Do not despise an Edomite, for he is your brother. Do not despise an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.
Non abominaberis Idumæum, quia frater tuus est: nec Ægyptium, quia advena fuisti in terra ejus.
8 The third generation of children born to them may enter the assembly of the LORD.
Qui nati fuerint ex eis, tertia generatione intrabunt in ecclesiam Domini.
9 When you are encamped against your enemies, then you shall keep yourself from every wicked thing.
Quando egressus fueris adversus hostes tuos in pugnam, custodies te ab omni re mala.
10 If any man among you becomes unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he must leave the camp and stay outside.
Si fuerit inter vos homo, qui nocturno pollutus sit somnio, egredietur extra castra,
11 When evening approaches, he must wash with water, and when the sun sets he may return to the camp.
et non revertetur, priusquam ad vesperam lavetur aqua: et post solis occasum regredietur in castra.
12 You must have a place outside the camp to go and relieve yourself.
Habebis locum extra castra, ad quem egrediaris ad requisita naturæ,
13 And you must have a digging tool in your equipment so that when you relieve yourself you can dig a hole and cover up your excrement.
gerens paxillum in balteo: cumque sederis, fodies per circuitum, et egesta humo operies
14 For the LORD your God walks throughout your camp to protect you and deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, lest He see anything unclean among you and turn away from you.
quo revelatus es: Dominus enim Deus tuus ambulat in medio castrorum, ut eruat te, et tradat tibi inimicos tuos: et sint castra tua sancta, et nihil in eis appareat fœditatis, ne derelinquat te.
15 Do not return a slave to his master if he has taken refuge with you.
Non trades servum domino suo, qui ad te confugerit.
16 Let him live among you wherever he chooses, in the town of his pleasing. Do not oppress him.
Habitabit tecum in loco, qui ei placuerit, et in una urbium tuarum requiescet: ne contristes eum.
17 No daughter or son of Israel is to be a shrine prostitute.
Non erit meretrix de filiabus Israël, nec scortator de filiis Israël.
18 You must not bring the wages of a prostitute, whether female or male, into the house of the LORD your God to fulfill any vow, because both are detestable to the LORD your God.
Non offeres mercedem prostibuli, nec pretium canis in domo Domini Dei tui, quidquid illud est quod voveris: quia abominatio est utrumque apud Dominum Deum tuum.
19 Do not charge your brother interest on money, food, or any other type of loan.
Non fœnerabis fratri tuo ad usuram pecuniam, nec fruges, nec quamlibet aliam rem:
20 You may charge a foreigner interest, but not your brother, so that the LORD your God may bless you in everything to which you put your hand in the land that you are entering to possess.
sed alieno. Fratri autem tuo absque usura id quo indiget, commodabis: ut benedicat tibi Dominus Deus tuus in omni opere tuo in terra, ad quam ingredieris possidendam.
21 If you make a vow to the LORD your God, do not be slow to keep it, because He will surely require it of you, and you will be guilty of sin.
Cum votum voveris Domino Deo tuo, non tardabis reddere: quia requiret illud Dominus Deus tuus, et si moratus fueris, reputabitur tibi in peccatum.
22 But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty of sin.
Si nolueris polliceri, absque peccato eris.
23 Be careful to follow through on what comes from your lips, because you have freely vowed to the LORD your God with your own mouth.
Quod autem semel egressum est de labiis tuis, observabis, et facies sicut promisisti Domino Deo tuo, et propria voluntate et ore tuo locutus es.
24 When you enter your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat your fill of grapes, but you must not put any in your basket.
Ingressus vineam proximi tui, comede uvas, quantum tibi placuerit: foras autem ne efferas tecum.
25 When you enter your neighbor’s grainfield, you may pluck the heads of grain with your hand, but you must not put a sickle to your neighbor’s grain.
Si intraveris in segetem amici tui, franges spicas, et manu conteres: falce autem non metes.
