Deuteronomy 23
1 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD.
「凡外腎受傷的，或被閹割的，不可入耶和華的會。
2 A bastard shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation shall none of his enter into the assembly of the LORD.
「私生子不可入耶和華的會；他的子孫，直到十代，也不可入耶和華的會。
3 An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation shall none belonging to them enter into the assembly of the LORD for ever:
「亞捫人或是摩押人不可入耶和華的會；他們的子孫，雖過十代，也永不可入耶和華的會。
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 from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
因為你們出埃及的時候，他們沒有拿食物和水在路上迎接你們，又因他們雇了美索不達米亞的毗奪人比珥的兒子巴蘭來咒詛你們。
5 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.
然而耶和華－你的上帝不肯聽從巴蘭，卻使那咒詛的言語變為祝福的話，因為耶和華－你的上帝愛你。
6 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
你一生一世永不可求他們的平安和他們的利益。
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.
「不可憎惡以東人，因為他是你的弟兄。不可憎惡埃及人，因為你在他的地上作過寄居的。
8 The children of the third generation that are born unto them shall enter into the assembly of the LORD.
他們第三代子孫可以入耶和華的會。」
9 When thou goest forth in camp against thine enemies, then thou shalt keep thee from every evil thing.
「你出兵攻打仇敵，就要遠避諸惡。
10 If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of that which chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
「你們中間，若有人夜間偶然夢遺，不潔淨，就要出到營外，不可入營；
11 but it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall bathe himself in water: and when the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
到傍晚的時候，他要用水洗澡，及至日落了才可以入營。
12 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
「你在營外也該定出一個地方作為便所。
13 and thou shalt have a paddle among thy weapons; and it shall be, when thou sittest down abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
在你器械之中當預備一把鍬，你出營外便溺以後，用以鏟土，轉身掩蓋。
14 for the LORD 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.
因為耶和華－你的上帝常在你營中行走，要救護你，將仇敵交給你，所以你的營理當聖潔，免得他見你那裏有污穢，就離開你。」
15 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master a servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:
「若有奴僕脫了主人的手，逃到你那裏，你不可將他交付他的主人。
16 he shall dwell with thee, in the midst of thee, in the place which he shall choose within one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.
他必在你那裏與你同住，在你的城邑中，要由他選擇一個所喜悅的地方居住；你不可欺負他。
17 There shall be no harlot of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
「以色列的女子中不可有妓女；以色列的男子中不可有孌童。
18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the wages of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
娼妓所得的錢，或孌童所得的價，你不可帶入耶和華－你上帝的殿還願，因為這兩樣都是耶和華－你上帝所憎惡的。
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:
「你借給你弟兄的，或是錢財或是糧食，無論甚麼可生利的物，都不可取利。
20 unto a foreigner thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou puttest thine hand unto, in the land whither thou goest in to possess it.
借給外邦人可以取利，只是借給你弟兄不可取利。這樣，耶和華－你上帝必在你所去得為業的地上和你手裏所辦的一切事上賜福與你。
21 When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not be slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
「你向耶和華－你的上帝許願，償還不可遲延；因為耶和華－你的上帝必定向你追討，你不償還就有罪。
22 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
你若不許願，倒無罪。
23 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt observe and do; according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, a freewill offering, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
你嘴裏所出的，就是你口中應許甘心所獻的，要照你向耶和華－你上帝所許的願謹守遵行。
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.
「你進了鄰舍的葡萄園，可以隨意吃飽了葡萄，只是不可裝在器皿中。
25 When thou comest into thy neighbour’s standing corn, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour’s standing corn.
你進了鄰舍站着的禾稼，可以用手摘穗子，只是不可用鐮刀割取禾稼。」
