< Deuteronomy 23 >

1 He that is fractured or mutilated in his private parts shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord.
Non intravit eunuchus attritis vel amputatis testiculis et abscisso veretro, ecclesiam Domini.
2 [One born] of a harlot shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord.
Non ingredietur mamzer, hoc est, de scorto natus, in ecclesiam Domini, usque ad decimam generationem.
3 The Ammanite and Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord, even until the tenth generation he shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord, even for ever:
Ammonites et Moabites etiam post decimam generationem non intrabunt ecclesiam Domini, in æternum:
4 because they met you not with bread and water by the way, when you went out of Egypt; and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor of Mesopotamia 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 But the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam; and the Lord your God changed the curses into blessings, because the Lord your God loved you.
et noluit Dominus Deus tuus audire Balaam, vertitque maledictionem eius in benedictionem tuam, eo quod diligeret te.
6 You shall not speak peaceably or profitably to them all your days for ever.
Non facies cum eis pacem, nec quæras eis bona cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ in sempiternum.
7 You shall not abhor an Edomite, because he is your brother; you shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you were a stranger in his land.
Non abominaberis Idumæum, quia frater tuus est: nec Ægyptium, quia advena fuisti in terra eius.
8 If sons be born to them, in the third generation they shall enter into the assembly of the Lord.
Qui nati fuerint ex eis, tertia generatione intrabunt in ecclesiam Domini.
9 And if you should go forth to engage with your enemies, then you shall keep you from every wicked thing.
Quando egressus fueris adversus hostes tuos in pugnam, custodies te ab omni re mala.
10 If there should be in you a man who is not clean by reason of his issue by night, then he shall go forth out of the camp, and he shall not enter into the camp.
Si fuerit inter vos homo, qui nocturno pollutus sit somnio, egredietur extra castra,
11 And it shall come to pass towards evening he shall wash his body with water, and when the sun has gone down, he shall go into the camp.
et non revertetur, priusquam ad vesperam lavetur aqua: et post solis occasum regredietur in castra.
12 And you shall have a place outside of the camp, and you shall go out there,
Habebis locum extra castra, ad quem egrediaris ad requisita naturæ,
13 and you shall have a trowel on your girdle; and it shall come to pass when you would relieve yourself abroad, that you shall dig with it, and shall bring back the earth and cover your nuisance.
gerens paxillum in balteo. Cumque sederis, fodies per circuitum, et egesta humo operies
14 Because the Lord your God walks in your camp to deliver you, and to give up your enemy before your face; and your camp shall be holy, and there shall not appear in you a disgraceful thing, and [so] he shall 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 You shall not deliver a servant to his master, who [coming] from his master attaches himself to you.
Non trades servum domino suo, qui ad te confugerit.
16 He shall dwell with you, he shall dwell amongst you where he shall please; you shall not afflict him.
Habitabit tecum in loco, qui ei placuerit, et in una urbium tuarum requiescet: ne contristes eum.
17 There shall not be a harlot of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be a fornicator of the sons of Israel; there shall not be an idolatress of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be an initiated person of the sons of Israel.
Non erit meretrix de filiabus Israel, nec scortator de filiis Israel.
18 You shall not bring the hire of a harlot, nor the price of a dog into the house of the Lord your God, for any vow; because even both are an abomination 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 You shall not lend to your brother on usury of silver, or usury of meat, or usury of any thing which you may lend out.
Non fœnerabis fratri tuo ad usuram pecuniam, nec fruges, nec quamlibet aliam rem:
20 You may lend on usury to a stranger, but to your brother you shall not lend on usury; that the Lord your God may bless you in all your works upon the land, into which you are entering to inherit it.
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 And if you will vow a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay to pay it; for the Lord your God will surely require it of you, and [otherwise] it shall be sin in you.
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 should be unwilling to vow, it is not sin in you.
Si nolueris polliceri, absque peccato eris.
23 You shall observe the words that proceed from between your lips; and as you have vowed a gift to the Lord God, [so] shall you do that which you have spoken with your 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 And if you should go into the corn field of your neighbour, then you may gather the ears with your hands; but you shall not put the sickle to your neighbour's corn.
Ingressus vineam proximi tui, comede uvas quantum tibi placuerit: foras autem ne efferas tecum.
25 And if you should go into the vineyard of your neighbour, you shall eat grapes sufficient to satisfy your desire; but you may not put them into a vessel.
Si intraveris in segetem amici tui, franges spicas, et manu conteres: falce autem non metes.
