Deuteronomy 23
1 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of Yhwh.
Non intravit eunuchus attritis vel amputatis testiculis et abscisso veretro, ecclesiam Domini.
2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of Yhwh; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of Yhwh.
Non ingredietur mamzer, hoc est, de scorto natus, in ecclesiam Domini, usque ad decimam generationem.
3 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of Yhwh; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of Yhwh for ever:
Ammonites et Moabites etiam post decimam generationem non intrabunt ecclesiam Domini, in aeternum:
4 Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
quia noluerunt vobis occurrere cum pane et aqua in via quando egressi estis de Aegypto: et quia conduxerunt contra te Balaam filium Beor de Mesopotamia Syriae, ut malediceret tibi:
5 Nevertheless Yhwh thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; But Yhwh thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because Yhwh thy God loved thee.
et noluit Dominus Deus tuus audire Balaam, vertitque maledictionem eius in benedictionem tuam, eo quod diligeret te.
6 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
Non facies cum eis pacem, nec quaeras eis bona cunctis diebus vitae tuae in sempiternum.
7 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.
Non abominaberis Idumaeum, quia frater tuus est: nec Aegyptium, quia advena fuisti in terra eius.
8 The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of Yhwh in their third generation.
Qui nati fuerint ex eis, tertia generatione intrabunt in ecclesiam Domini.
9 When the army goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing.
Quando egressus fueris adversus hostes tuos in pugnam, custodies te ab omni re mala.
10 If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
Si fuerit inter vos homo, qui nocturno pollutus sit somnio, egredietur extra castra,
11 But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.
et non revertetur, priusquam ad vesperam lavetur aqua: et post solis occasum regredietur in castra.
12 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
Habebis locum extra castra, ad quem egrediaris ad requisita naturae,
13 And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
gerens paxillum in balteo. cumque sederis, fodies per circuitum, et egesta humo operies
14 For Yhwh thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
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 foeditatis ne derelinquat te.
15 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:
Non trades servum Domino suo, qui ad te confugerit.
16 He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.
habitabit tecum in loco, qui ei placuerit, et in una urbium tuarum requiescet: ne contristes eum.
17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
Non erit meretrix de filiabus Israel, nec scortator de filiis Israel.
18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of Yhwh thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto Yhwh thy 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 Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
Non foenerabis fratri tuo ad usuram pecuniam, nec fruges, nec quamlibet aliam rem:
20 Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that Yhwh thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess 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 When thou shalt vow a vow unto Yhwh thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for Yhwh thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
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 thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
Si nolueris polliceri, absque peccato eris.
23 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto Yhwh thy God, which thou hast promised with thy 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 thou comest into thy neighbour’s vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.
Ingressus vineam proximi tui, comede uvas quantum tibi placuerit: foras autem ne efferas tecum.
25 When thou comest into the standing grain of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the heads with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour’s standing grain.
Si intraveris in segetem amici tui, franges spicas, et manu conteres: falce autem non metes.
