Deuteronomy 22
1 “You do not see the ox of your brother or his sheep driven away, and have hidden yourself from them, you certainly turn them back to your brother;
Non videbis bovem fratris tui, aut ovem errantem, et praeteribis: sed reduces fratri tuo,
2 and if your brother [is] not near to you, and you have not known him, then you have removed it to the midst of your house, and it has been with you until your brother seeks it, and you have given it back to him;
etiamsi non est propinquus frater tuus, nec nosti eum: duces in domum tuam, et erunt apud te quamdiu quaerat ea frater tuus, et recipiat.
3 and so you do to his donkey, and so you do to his garment, and so you do to any lost thing of your brother’s, which is lost by him, and you have found it; you are not able to hide yourself.
Similiter facies de asino, et de vestimento, et de omni re fratris tui, quae perierit: si inveneris eam, ne negligas quasi alienam.
4 You do not see the donkey of your brother, or his ox, falling in the way, and have hid yourself from them; you certainly raise [them] up for him.
Si videris asinum fratris tui aut bovem cecidisse in via, non despicies, sed sublevabis cum eo.
5 Anything of a man is not on a woman, nor does a man put on the garment of a woman, for anyone doing these [is] an abomination [to] your God YHWH.
Non induetur mulier veste virili, nec vir utetur veste feminea: abominabilis enim apud Deum est qui facit haec.
6 When a bird’s nest comes before you in the way, in any tree, or on the earth, [with] brood or eggs, and the mother is sitting on the brood or on the eggs, you do not take the mother with the young ones;
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 certainly send the mother away, and take the young ones for yourself, so that it is well with you and you have prolonged days.
sed abire patieris, captos tenens filios: ut bene sit tibi, et longo vivas tempore.
8 When you build a new house, then you have made a parapet for your roof, and you do not put blood on your house when one falls from it.
Cum aedificaveris domum novam, facies murum tecti per circuitum: ne effundatur sanguis in domo tua, et sis reus labente illo, et in praeceps ruente.
9 You do not sow your vineyard [with] two kinds [of seed], lest the fullness of the seed which you sow and the increase of the vineyard be separated.
Non seres vineam tuam altero semine: ne et sementis quam sevisti, et quae nascuntur ex vinea, pariter sanctificentur.
10 You do not plow with an ox and with a donkey together.
Non arabis in bove simul et asino.
11 You do not put on mixed material, wool and linens together.
Non indueris vestimento, quod ex lana linoque contextum est.
12 You make fringes for yourself on the four skirts of your covering with which you cover [yourself].
Funiculos in fimbriis facies per quattuor angulos pallii tui, quo operieris.
13 When a man takes a wife, and has gone in to her, and hated her,
Si duxerit vir uxorem, et postea odio habuerit eam,
14 and laid evil deeds of words against her, and brought out an evil name against her, and said, I have taken this woman, and I draw near to her, and I have not found proofs of virginity in her;
quaesieritque occasiones quibus dimittat eam, obiiciens ei nomen pessimum, et dixerit: Uxorem hanc accepi, et ingressus ad eam non inveni virginem:
15 then the father of the girl, and her mother, have taken and brought out the girl’s proofs of virginity to [the] elderly of the city in the gate,
tollent eam pater et mater eius, et ferent secum signa virginitatis eius ad seniores urbis qui in porta sunt:
16 and the father of the girl has said to the elderly, I have given my daughter to this man for a wife, and he hates her;
et dicet pater: Filiam meam dedi huic uxorem: quam quia odit,
17 and behold, he has laid evil deeds of words, saying, I have not found proofs of virginity for your daughter—and these [are] the proofs of virginity of my daughter! And they have spread out the garment before [the] elderly of the city.
imponit ei nomen pessimum, ut dicat: Non inveni filiam tuam virginem: et ecce haec sunt signa virginitatis filiae meae. expandent vestimentum coram senioribus civitatis:
18 And [the] elderly of that city have taken the man, and discipline him,
apprehendentque senes urbis illius virum, et verberabunt illum,
19 and fined him one hundred pieces of silver, and given [them] to the father of the girl, because he has brought out an evil name on a virgin of Israel; and she is to him for a wife—he is not able to send her away [for] all his days.
condemnantes insuper centum siclis argenti, quos dabit patri puellae, quoniam diffamavit nomen pessimum super virginem Israel: habebitque eam uxorem, et non poterit dimittere eam omnibus diebus vitae suae.
20 And if this thing has been truth—proofs of virginity have not been found for the girl—
Quod si verum est quod obiicit, et non est in puella inventa virginitas:
21 then they have brought out the girl to the opening of her father’s house, and the men of her city have stoned her with stones and she has died, for she has done folly in Israel, to go whoring [in] her father’s house; and you have put away evil out of your midst.
eiicient eam extra fores domus patris sui, et lapidibus obruent viri civitatis illius, et morietur: quoniam fecit nefas in Israel, ut fornicaretur in domo patris sui: et auferes malum de medio tui.
22 When a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then both of them have died—the man who is lying with the woman, and the woman; and you have put away evil out of Israel.
Si dormierit vir cum uxore alterius, uterque morietur, id est, adulter et adultera: et auferes malum de Israel.
23 When there is a girl, a virgin, betrothed to a man, and a man has found her in a city and lain with her,
Si puellam virginem desponderit vir, et invenerit eam aliquis in civitate, et concubuerit cum ea,
24 then you have brought them both out to the gate of that city, and stoned them with stones, and they have died: the girl, because that she has not cried in a city; and the man, because that he has humbled his neighbor’s wife; and you have put away evil out of your midst.
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 And if the man finds the girl who is betrothed in a field, and the man has laid hold on her, and lain with her, then the man who has lain with her has died alone;
Sin autem in agro repererit vir puellam, quae desponsata est, et apprehendens concubuerit cum ea, ipse morietur solus:
26 and you do not do anything to the girl—the girl has no deadly sin; for as a man rises against his neighbor and has murdered him, [taking] a life, so [is] this thing;
puella nihil patietur, nec est rea mortis: quoniam sicut latro consurgit contra fratrem suum, et occidit animam eius, ita et puella perpessa est.
27 for he found her in a field, [and when] she has cried—the girl who is betrothed—then she has no savior.
sola erat in agro: clamavit, et nullus affuit qui liberaret eam.
28 When a man finds a girl, a virgin who is not betrothed, and has caught her, and lain with her, and they have been found,
Si invenerit vir puellam virginem, quae non habet sponsum, et apprehendens concubuerit cum illa, et res ad iudicium venerit:
29 then the man who is lying with her has given fifty pieces of silver to the father of the girl, and she is to him for a wife; because that he has humbled her, he is not able to send her away [for] all his days.
dabit qui dormivit cum ea, patri puellae quinquaginta siclos argenti, et habebit eam uxorem, quia humiliavit illam: non poterit dimittere eam cunctis diebus vitae suae.
30 A man does not take his father’s wife, nor uncover his father’s skirt.”
Non accipiet homo uxorem patris sui, nec revelabit operimentum eius.
