Deuteronomii 23
1 Non intravit eunuchus, attritis vel amputatis testiculis et abscisso veretro, ecclesiam Domini.
HE that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord.
2 Non ingredietur mamzer, hoc est, de scorto natus, in ecclesiam Domini, usque ad decimam generationem.
A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord.
3 Ammonites et Moabites etiam post decimam generationem non intrabunt ecclesiam Domini in æternum:
An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the Lord for ever:
4 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:
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 of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
5 et noluit Dominus Deus tuus audire Balaam, vertitque maledictionem ejus in benedictionem tuam, eo quod diligeret te.
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.
6 Non facies cum eis pacem, nec quæras eis bona cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ in sempiternum.
Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
7 Non abominaberis Idumæum, quia frater tuus est: nec Ægyptium, quia advena fuisti in terra ejus.
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.
8 Qui nati fuerint ex eis, tertia generatione intrabunt in ecclesiam Domini.
The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the Lord in their third generation.
9 Quando egressus fueris adversus hostes tuos in pugnam, custodies te ab omni re mala.
When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing.
10 Si fuerit inter vos homo, qui nocturno pollutus sit somnio, egredietur extra castra,
If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
11 et non revertetur, priusquam ad vesperam lavetur aqua: et post solis occasum regredietur in castra.
But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.
12 Habebis locum extra castra, ad quem egrediaris ad requisita naturæ,
Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
13 gerens paxillum in balteo: cumque sederis, fodies per circuitum, et egesta humo operies
And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
14 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.
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.
15 Non trades servum domino suo, qui ad te confugerit.
Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:
16 Habitabit tecum in loco, qui ei placuerit, et in una urbium tuarum requiescet: ne contristes eum.
He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.
17 Non erit meretrix de filiabus Israël, nec scortator de filiis Israël.
There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
18 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.
Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the Lord thy God.
19 Non fœnerabis fratri tuo ad usuram pecuniam, nec fruges, nec quamlibet aliam rem:
Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
20 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.
Unto a stranger 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 settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
21 Cum votum voveris Domino Deo tuo, non tardabis reddere: quia requiret illud Dominus Deus tuus, et si moratus fueris, reputabitur tibi in peccatum.
When thou shalt vow a vow unto the Lord thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
22 Si nolueris polliceri, absque peccato eris.
But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
23 Quod autem semel egressum est de labiis tuis, observabis, et facies sicut promisisti Domino Deo tuo, et propria voluntate et ore tuo locutus es.
That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the Lord thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
24 Ingressus vineam proximi tui, comede uvas, quantum tibi placuerit: foras autem ne efferas tecum.
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.
25 Si intraveris in segetem amici tui, franges spicas, et manu conteres: falce autem non metes.
When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour’s standing corn.
