Deuteronomy 23
1 He who is emasculated by crushing or cutting shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly.
“凡外肾受伤的，或被阉割的，不可入耶和华的会。
2 A person born of a forbidden union shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one of his enter into the LORD’s assembly.
“私生子不可入耶和华的会；他的子孙，直到十代，也不可入耶和华的会。
3 An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one belonging to them enter into the LORD’s assembly forever,
“亚扪人或是摩押人不可入耶和华的会；他们的子孙，虽过十代，也永不可入耶和华的会。
4 because they didn’t meet you with bread and with water on the way when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you.
因为你们出埃及的时候，他们没有拿食物和水在路上迎接你们，又因他们雇了美索不达米亚的毗夺人比珥的儿子巴兰来咒诅你们。
5 Nevertheless the LORD your God wouldn’t listen to Balaam, but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because the LORD your God loved you.
然而耶和华—你的 神不肯听从巴兰，却使那咒诅的言语变为祝福的话，因为耶和华—你的 神爱你。
6 You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
你一生一世永不可求他们的平安和他们的利益。
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.
“不可憎恶以东人，因为他是你的弟兄。不可憎恶埃及人，因为你在他的地上作过寄居的。
8 The children of the third generation who are born to them may enter into the LORD’s assembly.
他们第三代子孙可以入耶和华的会。”
9 When you go out and camp against your enemies, then you shall keep yourselves from every evil thing.
“你出兵攻打仇敌，就要远避诸恶。
10 If there is amongst you any man who is not clean by reason of that which happens to him by night, then shall he go outside of the camp. He shall not come within the camp;
“你们中间，若有人夜间偶然梦遗，不洁净，就要出到营外，不可入营；
11 but it shall be, when evening comes, he shall bathe himself in water. When the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
到傍晚的时候，他要用水洗澡，及至日落了才可以入营。
12 You shall have a place also outside of the camp where you go relieve yourself.
“你在营外也该定出一个地方作为便所。
13 You shall have a trowel amongst your weapons. It shall be, when you relieve yourself, you shall dig with it, and shall turn back and cover your excrement;
在你器械之中当预备一把锹，你出营外便溺以后，用以铲土，转身掩盖。
14 for the LORD your God walks in the middle 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.
因为耶和华—你的 神常在你营中行走，要救护你，将仇敌交给你，所以你的营理当圣洁，免得他见你那里有污秽，就离开你。”
15 You shall not deliver to his master a servant who has escaped from his master to you.
“若有奴仆脱了主人的手，逃到你那里，你不可将他交付他的主人。
16 He shall dwell with you, amongst you, in the place which he shall choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best. You shall not oppress him.
他必在你那里与你同住，在你的城邑中，要由他选择一个所喜悦的地方居住；你不可欺负他。
17 There shall be no prostitute 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娈童。
18 You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages of a male prostitute, into the house of the LORD your God for any vow; for both of these are an abomination to the LORD your God.
娼妓所得的钱，或娈童所得的价，你不可带入耶和华—你 神的殿还愿，因为这两样都是耶和华—你 神所憎恶的。
19 You shall not lend on interest to your brother: interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest.
“你借给你弟兄的，或是钱财或是粮食，无论什么可生利的物，都不可取利。
20 You may charge a foreigner interest; but you shall not charge your brother interest, that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you go in to possess it.
借给外邦人可以取利，只是借给你弟兄不可取利。这样，耶和华—你 神必在你所去得为业的地上和你手里所办的一切事上赐福与你。
21 When you vow a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not be slack to pay it, for the LORD your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.
“你向耶和华—你的 神许愿，偿还不可迟延；因为耶和华—你的 神必定向你追讨，你不偿还就有罪。
22 But if you refrain from making a vow, it shall be no sin in you.
你若不许愿，倒无罪。
23 You shall observe and do that which has gone out of your lips. Whatever you have vowed to the LORD your God as a free will offering, which you have promised with your mouth, you must do.
你嘴里所出的，就是你口中应许甘心所献的，要照你向耶和华—你 神所许的愿谨守遵行。
24 When you come into your neighbour’s vineyard, then you may eat your fill of grapes at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your container.
“你进了邻舍的葡萄园，可以随意吃饱了葡萄，只是不可装在器皿中。
25 When you come into your neighbour’s standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not use a sickle on your neighbour’s standing grain.
你进了邻舍站着的禾稼，可以用手摘穗子，只是不可用镰刀割取禾稼。”
