Deuteronomy 22
1 If you see someone's cow or sheep wandering around, don't just ignore it. Make sure you take it back to its owner.
Thou shalt not see thy brothers oxe nor his sheepe go astray, and withdraw thy selfe from them, but shalt bring the againe vnto thy brother.
2 If its owner doesn't live near you, or if you don't know who it is, take the animal home with you and keep it until the owner comes looking, then you can return it.
And if thy brother bee not neere vnto thee, or if thou knowe him not, then thou shalt bring it into thine house, and it shall remaine with thee, vntill thy brother seeke after it: then shalt thou deliuer it to him againe.
3 Do the same for whatever else you find that someone has lost—a donkey, a cloak, anything. Don't just ignore it.
In like maner shalt thou do with his asse, and so shalt thou do with his rayment, and shalt so doe with all lost things of thy brother, which he hath lost: if thou hast found them, thou shalt not withdraw thy selfe from them.
4 If you see someone's donkey or cow that has fallen down on the road, don't just ignore it. Help lift it up.
Thou shalt not see thy brothers asse nor his oxe fal downe by the way, and withdrawe thy selfe from them, but shalt lift them vp with him.
5 A woman must not wear men's clothing, and a man must not wear women's clothing. Anyone who does this offends the Lord your God.
The woman shall not weare that which perteineth vnto the man, neither shall a man put on womans rayment: for all that doe so, are abomination vnto the Lord thy God.
6 If you happen to find a bird's nest with chicks or eggs, whether it's in a tree or on the ground beside the road, and the mother is sitting on the chicks or eggs, don't take the mother with the young.
If thou finde a birdes nest in the way, in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be yong or egges, and the damme sitting vpon the yong, or vpon the egges, thou shalt not take ye damme with the yong,
7 You may take the young, but make sure you let the mother go, so that you will do well and have a good long life.
But shalt in any wise let the damme go, and take the yong to thee, that thou mayest prosper and prolong thy dayes.
8 When you build a new house, be sure to install a railing around your roof, so that you won't be held guilty if someone dies falling from it.
When thou buildest a newe house, thou shalt make a battlemet on thy roofe, that thou lay not blood vpon thine house, if any man fal thence.
9 Don't plant your vineyard with another kind of crop. Otherwise everything you produce—the crop you planted and the fruit of your vineyard—must be dedicated to the Lord.
Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with diuers kinds of seedes, lest thou defile the increase of the seede which thou hast sowen, and the fruite of the vineyarde.
10 Don't harness an ox and a donkey together when you plow.
Thou shalt not plow with an oxe and an asse together.
11 Don't wear clothes made of wool and linen woven together.
Thou shalt not weare a garment of diuers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.
12 Put tassels on the hem of the cloak you use to cover yourself.
Thou shalt make thee fringes vpon the foure quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou couerest thy selfe.
13 If a man marries a woman and sleeps with her, but ends up hating her,
If a man take a wife, and when he hath lyen with her, hate her,
14 and accuses her of being immoral, giving her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman and slept with her, but I found out she wasn't a virgin.”
And laye slaunderous thinges vnto her charge, and bring vp an euill name vpon her, and say, I tooke this wife, and when I came to her, I found her not a mayde,
15 The woman's parents are to bring the proof of her virginity to the elders at the town gate,
Then shall the father of the mayde and her mother take and bring the signes of the maydes virginitie vnto the Elders of the citie to the gate.
16 and the father will explain to them, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he has ended up hating her.
And the maydes father shall say vnto the Elders, I gaue my daughter vnto this man to wife, and he hateth her:
17 Now he has accused her of being immoral, saying, ‘I found out that your daughter wasn't a virgin.’ But here's the proof of her virginity.” The parents shall spread out the sheet in front of the town elders.
And lo, he layeth slaunderous things vnto her charge, saying, I founde not thy daughter a mayde: loe, these are the tokens of my daughters virginitie: and they shall spreade the vesture before the Elders of the citie.
18 Then the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him.
Then the Elders of the citie shall take that man and chastise him,
19 They shall also fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give the money to the young woman's father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She is to remain his wife; he is not allowed to divorce her as long as he lives.
And shall condemne him in an hundreth shekels of siluer, and giue them vnto the father of the mayde, because he hath brought vp an euill name vpon a mayde of Israel: and she shalbe his wife, and he may not put her away all his life.
20 But if the accusation is true, and there's no proof of the woman's virginity,
But if this thing be true, that the mayde be not found a virgine,
21 she is to be taken to the door of her father's house, and there the men of her town are to stone her to death. She has done something disgraceful in Israel by acting immorally in her father's house. You must eliminate the evil from among you.
Then shall they bring forth the mayde to the doore of her fathers house, and the men of her citie shall stone her with stones to death: for shee hath wrought follie in Israel, by playing ye whore in her fathers house: so thou shalt put euill away from among you.
22 If a man is found sleeping with someone else's wife, both the man and the woman must die. You must eliminate the evil from Israel.
If a man be found lying with a woman marryed to a man, then they shall dye euen both twaine: to wit, the man that lay with the wife, and the wife: so thou shalt put away euil from Israel.
23 If a man meets a girl, a virgin engaged to another man, and sleeps with her there in the town,
If a maid be betrothed vnto an husband, and a man finde her in the towne and lye with her,
24 then you must take both of them to the town gate and stone them to death. The young woman is guilty because she did not cry out for help in the town, and the man is guilty because he has brought shame on someone else's fiancée. You must eliminate the evil from among you.
Then shall yee bring them both out vnto the gates of the same citie, and shall stone them with stones to death: the mayde because she cried not, being in the citie, and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbours wife: so thou shalt put away euill from among you.
25 However, if the man happens to meet a woman who is engaged out in the countryside, and he attacks her and rapes her, only the man has to die.
But if a man finde a betrothed mayde in the field, and force her, and lye with her, then the man that lay with her, shall dye alone:
26 Don't do anything to the woman, because she has not committed a sin punishable by death. (This is the same kind of situation as when a man attacks someone else and murders them.)
And vnto the mayd thou shalt do nothing, because there is in the mayde no cause of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour and woundeth him to death, so is this matter.
27 When the man raped the woman who was engaged out in the countryside, she shouted out, but there wasn't anyone there to rescue her.
For he found her in the fieldes: the betrothed mayde cryed, and there was no man to succour her.
28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not engaged, and he grabs her and rapes her, and someone sees them,
If a man finde a mayde that is not betrothed, and take her, and lye with her, and they be founde,
29 the man must pay the woman's father fifty shekels of silver, and he must marry her because he has brought shame on her. He is not allowed to divorce her as long as he lives.
Then the man that lay with her, shall giue vnto the maydes father fiftie shekels of siluer: and she shalbe his wife, because he hath humbled her: he can not put her away all his life.
30 A man must not marry his father's wife, so that he won't bring shame on his father.
No man shall take his fathers wife, nor shall vncouer his fathers skirt.
