Deuteronomy 23
1 He who is emasculated by crushing or cutting shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly.
凡外腎受傷或被閹割的人，不得進入上主的集會。
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.
私生子不得進入上主的集會；他的後代即便到了第十代，也不得進入上主的集會。
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,
阿孟人和摩阿布人不得進入上主的集會；他們的後代，即便到第十代，也永不得進入上主的集會；
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.
因為當你們出離埃及時，他們沒有帶食物和水，在路上前來迎接你們；又因他們從美索不達米亞的培托爾，雇了貝熬爾的兒子巴郎來咒罵你；
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.
但是上主你的天主不但不願聽從巴郎，上主你的天主反而將咒罵變為你的祝福，因為上主你的天主愛你。
6 You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
你一生永遠不要為他們謀安寧和幸福。
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.
你不可憎恨厄東人，因為他是你的兄弟；也不可憎恨埃及人，因為你曾在他們國內做過僑民。
8 The children of the third generation who are born to them may enter into the LORD’s assembly.
他們所生的子孫到了第三代，即能進入上主的集會。
9 When you go out and camp against your enemies, then you shall keep yourselves from every evil thing.
幾時你出征紮營，攻打你的仇敵，應避免一切惡事。
10 If there is among 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;
你中間如有人夜間夢遺，即成為不潔，應走出營外，不可進入營內；
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.
傍晚時，應用水洗澡，日落時，才能進營。
12 You shall have a place also outside of the camp where you go relieve yourself.
在營外應有廁所，你應去那裏便溺。
13 You shall have a trowel among your weapons. It shall be, when you relieve yourself, you shall dig with it, and shall turn back and cover your excrement;
在你的武器中；應有一把鏟；當你在外便溺時，用它來掘坑，然後用以剷土掩蓋糞便。
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.
因為上主你的天主在你營中往來，為救護你，將你的仇人交給你，所以你的營地應當聖潔，免得他在你那裏見到討厭的事，而離棄你。
15 You shall not deliver to his master a servant who has escaped from his master to you.
凡由主人逃到你這裏來的奴僕，你不應將他交給他的主人；
16 He shall dwell with you, among you, in the place which he shall choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best. You shall not oppress him.
他應在你中間與你同住，住在他自己所選的地方，住在他喜歡的一座城內；你不可欺負他。
17 There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
以色列婦女中不可有人當廟妓，以色列男人中亦不可有人作廟倡。
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.
你不可賣淫的酬金和賣狗的代價，帶到上主你天主的殿內，還任何誓願，因為這兩樣於上主你的天主都是可憎惡的。
19 You shall not lend on interest to your brother: interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest.
借給你兄弟銀錢、食物，或任何能生利之物，你不可取利。
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.
對外方人你可取利，對你兄弟卻不可取利，好使上主你的天主在你要去佔領的地上，祝福你進行的一切事業。
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.
幾時你向上主你的天主許願，不要遲延還願，因為上主你的天主必向你追討，你就不免有罪了。
22 But if you refrain from making a vow, it shall be no sin in you.
如果你不許願，你就沒有罪。
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.
凡你口中說出來的，你應遵守；凡你親口說出向上主你的天主所許的願，你應執行。
24 When you come into your neighbor’s vineyard, then you may eat your fill of grapes at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your container.
幾時你進入你鄰人的葡萄園，你可隨意摘食葡萄，可以吃飽，但不可裝入你的器皿內。
25 When you come into your neighbor’s standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not use a sickle on your neighbor’s standing grain.
幾時你進入你鄰人的麥田，可以伸手摘麥穗，但不可在你鄰人的麥田內動鐮刀。
