< Deuteronomy 23 >

1 No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off may enter the assembly of YHWH.
non intrabit eunuchus adtritis vel amputatis testiculis et absciso veretro ecclesiam Domini
2 No one of illegitimate birth shall enter into the assembly of YHWH; even to the tenth generation shall none of his enter into the assembly of YHWH.
non ingredietur mamzer hoc est de scorto natus in ecclesiam Domini usque ad decimam generationem
3 An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of YHWH; even to the tenth generation shall none belonging to them enter into the assembly of YHWH forever:
Ammanites et Moabites etiam post decimam generationem non intrabunt ecclesiam Domini in aeternum
4 because they did not meet you with bread and with water in the way, when you came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Aram Naharaim, to curse you.
quia noluerunt vobis occurrere cum pane et aqua in via quando egressi estis de Aegypto et quia conduxerunt contra te Balaam filium Beor de Mesopotamiam Syriae ut malediceret tibi
5 Nevertheless YHWH your God wouldn't listen to Balaam; but YHWH your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because YHWH 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 seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
non facies cum eis pacem nec quaeres eis bona cunctis diebus vitae tuae in sempiternum
7 You shall not abhor an Edomite; for he is your brother: you shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.
non abominaberis Idumeum quia frater tuus est nec Aegyptium quia advena fuisti in terra eius
8 The children of the third generation who are born to them shall enter into the assembly of YHWH.
qui nati fuerint ex eis tertia generatione intrabunt ecclesiam Domini
9 When you go forth in camp against your enemies, then you shall keep yourselves from every evil thing.
quando egressus fueris adversus hostes tuos in pugnam custodies te ab omni re mala
10 If there is among you any man who is not clean by reason of that which happens him by night, then shall he go outside 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 comes on, he shall bathe himself in water; and when the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
et non revertetur priusquam ad vesperam lavetur aqua et post solis occasum regredietur in castra
12 You shall have a place also outside of the camp, where you shall go outside there;
habebis locum extra castra ad quem egrediaris ad requisita naturae
13 and you shall have a spade among your tools; and it shall be, when you sit down outside, you shall dig therewith, and shall turn and cover that which comes from you:
gerens paxillum in balteo cumque sederis fodies per circuitum et egesta humo operies
14 for YHWH your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you; therefore your camp shall be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in you, and turn away from you.
quo relevatus es Dominus enim Deus tuus ambulat in medio castrorum ut eruat te et tradat tibi inimicos tuos ut sint castra tua sancta et nihil in eis appareat foeditatis nec derelinquat te
15 You shall not deliver to his master a servant who is escaped from his master to you:
non trades servum domino suo qui ad te confugerit
16 he shall dwell with you, in the midst of you, in the place which he shall choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best: you shall not oppress him.
habitabit tecum in loco qui ei placuerit et in una urbium tuarum requiescet nec contristes eum
17 There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sacred male prostitute of the children of Israel.
non erit meretrix de filiabus Israhel neque scortator de filiis Israhel
18 You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages of a dog, into the house of YHWH your God for any vow: for even both these are an abomination to YHWH your God.
non offeres mercedem prostibuli nec pretium canis in domum Domini Dei tui quicquid illud est quod voverint quia abominatio est utrumque apud Dominum Deum tuum
19 You shall not lend on interest to your brother; interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest:
non fenerabis fratri tuo ad usuram pecuniam nec fruges nec quamlibet aliam rem
20 to a foreigner you may lend on interest; but to your brother you shall not lend on interest, that YHWH your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you go in to possess it.
sed alieno fratri autem tuo absque usura id quod indiget commodabis ut benedicat tibi Dominus Deus tuus in omni opere tuo in terra ad quam ingredieris possidendam
21 When you shall vow a vow to YHWH your God, you shall not be slack to pay it: for YHWH your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.
cum voveris votum Domino Deo tuo non tardabis reddere quia requiret illud Dominus Deus tuus et si moratus fueris reputabit tibi in peccatum
22 But if you shall forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in you.
si nolueris polliceri absque peccato eris
23 That which is gone out of your lips you shall observe and do; according as you have vowed to YHWH your God, a freewill offering, which you have promised 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 your neighbor's vineyard, then you may eat of grapes your fill at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your vessel.
ingressus vineam proximi tui comede uvas quantum tibi placuerit foras autem ne efferas tecum
25 When you come into your neighbor's standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not move a sickle to your neighbor's standing grain.
si intraveris in segetem amici tui franges spicas et manu conteres falce autem non metes
