< Deuteronomy 23 >

1 “No one wounded, bruised, or cut in the genitals enters into the assembly of YHWH;
Non intravit eunuchus attritis vel amputatis testiculis et abscisso veretro, ecclesiam Domini.
2 a bastard does not enter into the assembly of YHWH; even a tenth generation of him does not enter into the assembly of YHWH.
Non ingredietur mamzer, hoc est, de scorto natus, in ecclesiam Domini, usque ad decimam generationem.
3 An Ammonite and a Moabite do not enter into the assembly of YHWH; even a tenth generation of them do not enter into the assembly of YHWH—for all time,
Ammonites et Moabites etiam post decimam generationem non intrabunt ecclesiam Domini, in æternum:
4 because that they have not come before you with bread and with water in the way, in your coming out from Egypt, and because he has hired against you Balaam son of Beor, of Pethor of Aram-Naharaim, to revile 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 and your God YHWH has not been willing to listen to Balaam, and your God YHWH turns the reviling to a blessing for you, because your God YHWH has loved you;
et noluit Dominus Deus tuus audire Balaam, vertitque maledictionem eius in benedictionem tuam, eo quod diligeret te.
6 you do not seek their peace and their good all your days—for all time.
Non facies cum eis pacem, nec quæras eis bona cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ in sempiternum.
7 You do not detest an Edomite, for he [is] your brother; you do not detest an Egyptian, for you have been a sojourner in his land;
Non abominaberis Idumæum, quia frater tuus est: nec Ægyptium, quia advena fuisti in terra eius.
8 sons who are begotten of them, a third generation of them, enter into the assembly of YHWH.
Qui nati fuerint ex eis, tertia generatione intrabunt in ecclesiam Domini.
9 When a camp goes out against your enemies, then you have kept from every evil thing.
Quando egressus fueris adversus hostes tuos in pugnam, custodies te ab omni re mala.
10 When there is a man who is not clean in you, from an accident at night, then he has gone out to the outside of the camp; he does not come into the midst of the camp;
Si fuerit inter vos homo, qui nocturno pollutus sit somnio, egredietur extra castra,
11 and it has been, at the turning of the evening, he bathes with water, and at the going in of the sun he comes into the midst of the camp.
et non revertetur, priusquam ad vesperam lavetur aqua: et post solis occasum regredietur in castra.
12 And you have a station at the outside of the camp, and you have gone out there outside;
Habebis locum extra castra, ad quem egrediaris ad requisita naturæ,
13 and you have a peg on your staff, and it has been, in your sitting outside, that you have dug with it, and turned back, and covered your filth.
gerens paxillum in balteo. Cumque sederis, fodies per circuitum, et egesta humo operies
14 For your God YHWH is walking up and down in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and to give your enemies before you, and your camp has been holy, and He does not see the nakedness of anything in you, and has turned back from after 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 do not shut up a servant to his lord, who escapes to you from his lord;
Non trades servum domino suo, qui ad te confugerit.
16 he dwells with you in your midst, in the place which he chooses within one of your gates, where it is pleasing to him; you do not oppress him.
Habitabit tecum in loco, qui ei placuerit, et in una urbium tuarum requiescet: ne contristes eum.
17 There is not a whore among the daughters of Israel, nor is there a whoremonger among the sons of Israel;
Non erit meretrix de filiabus Israel, nec scortator de filiis Israel.
18 you do not bring the wage of a whore or the price of a dog into the house of your God YHWH for any vow; for even both of them [are] an abomination [to] your God YHWH.
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 do not lend in usury to your brother—usury of money, usury of food, usury of anything which is lent on usury.
Non fœnerabis fratri tuo ad usuram pecuniam, nec fruges, nec quamlibet aliam rem:
20 You may lend in usury to a stranger, but you do not lend in usury to your brother, so that your God YHWH blesses you in every putting forth of your hand on the land to where you go in 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 you vow a vow to your God YHWH, you do not delay to complete it; for your God YHWH certainly requires it from you, lest it has been 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 And when you refrain to vow, it is not sin in you.
Si nolueris polliceri, absque peccato eris.
23 You keep and have done the utterance of your lips, as you have vowed to your God YHWH, a free-will offering 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 When you come into the vineyard of your neighbor, then you have eaten grapes according to your desire, your sufficiency, but you do not put [any] into your vessel.
Ingressus vineam proximi tui, comede uvas quantum tibi placuerit: foras autem ne efferas tecum.
25 When you come in among the standing grain of your neighbor, then you have plucked the ears with your hand, but you do not wave a sickle over the standing grain of your neighbor.”
Si intraveris in segetem amici tui, franges spicas, et manu conteres: falce autem non metes.
