Deuteronomii 22

1 Non videbis bovem fratris tui, aut ovem errantem, et præteribis: sed reduces fratri tuo,

You shall not see your brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide yourself from them: you shall surely bring them again to your brother.

2 etiam si non est propinquus frater tuus, nec nosti eum: duces in domum tuam, et erunt apud te quamdiu quærat ea frater tuus, et recipiat.

If your brother isn't near to you, or if you do not know him, then you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall be with you until your brother seek after it, and you shall restore it to him.

3 Similiter facies de asino, et de vestimento, et de omni re fratris tui, quæ perierit: si inveneris eam, ne negligas quasi alienam.

So you shall do with his donkey; and so you shall do with his garment; and so you shall do with every lost thing of your brother's, which he has lost, and you have found: you may not hide yourself.

4 Si videris asinum fratris tui aut bovem cecidisse in via, non despicies, sed sublevabis cum eo.

You shall not see your brother's donkey or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide yourself from them: you shall surely help him to lift them up again.

5 Non induetur mulier veste virili, nec vir utetur veste feminea: abominabilis enim apud Deum est qui facit hæc.

A woman shall not wear men's clothing, neither shall a man put on women's clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to Jehovah your God.

6 Si ambulans per viam, in arbore vel in terra nidum avis inveneris, et matrem pullis vel ovis desuper incubantem: non tenebis eam cum filiis,

If a bird's nest chance to be before you in the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the hen sitting on the young, or on the eggs, you shall not take the hen with the young:

7 sed abire patieris, captos tenens filios: ut bene sit tibi, et longo vivas tempore.

you shall surely let the hen go, but the young you may take to yourself; that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days.

8 Cum ædificaveris domum novam, facies murum tecti per circuitum: ne effundatur sanguis in domo tua, et sis reus labente alio, et in præceps ruente.

When you build a new house, then you shall make a battlement for your roof, that you do not bring blood on your house, if any man fall from there.

9 Non seres vineam tuam altero semine: ne et sementis quam sevisti, et quæ nascuntur ex vinea, pariter sanctificentur.

You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest the whole fruit be forfeited, the seed which you have sown, and the increase of the vineyard.

10 Non arabis in bove simul et asino.

You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.

11 Non indueris vestimento, quod ex lana linoque contextum est.

You shall not wear a mixed stuff, wool and linen together.

12 Funiculos in fimbriis facies per quattuor angulos pallii tui, quo operieris.

You shall make yourselves fringes on the four borders of your cloak, with which you cover yourself.

13 Si duxerit vir uxorem, et postea odio habuerit eam,

If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and hates her,

14 quæsieritque occasiones quibus dimittat eam, obiiciens ei nomen pessimum, et dixerit: Uxorem hanc accepi, et ingressus ad eam non inveni virginem:

and accuses her of shameful things, and brings up an evil name on her, and says, "I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I did not find in her the tokens of virginity";

15 tollent eam pater et mater eius, et ferent secum signa virginitatis eius ad seniores urbis qui in porta sunt:

then shall the father of the young woman, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the young woman's virginity to the elders of the city in the gate;

16 et dicet pater: Filiam meam dedi huic uxorem: quam quia odit,

and the young woman's father shall tell the elders, "I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he hates her;

17 imponit ei nomen pessimum, ut dicat: Non inveni filiam tuam virginem: et ecce hæc sunt signa virginitatis filiæ meæ. Expandent vestimentum coram senioribus civitatis:

and look, he has accused her of shameful things, saying, 'I did not find in your daughter the tokens of virginity;' and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity." They shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

18 apprehendentque senes urbis illius virum, et verberabunt illum,

The elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him;

19 condemnantes insuper centum siclis argenti, quos dabit patri puellæ, quoniam diffamavit nomen pessimum super virginem Israel: habebitque eam uxorem, et non poterit dimittere eam omnibus diebus vitæ suæ.

and they shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought up an evil name on a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.

20 Quod si verum est quod obiicit, et non est in puella inventa virginitas:

But if this thing be true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the young woman;

21 eiicient eam extra fores domus patris sui, et lapidibus obruent viri civitatis illius, et morietur: quoniam fecit nefas in Israel, ut fornicaretur in domo patris sui: et auferes malum de medio tui.

then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done folly in Israel, to play the prostitute in her father's house: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.

22 Si dormierit vir cum uxore alterius, uterque morietur, id est, adulter et adultera: et auferes malum de Israel.

If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman: so you shall put away the evil from Israel.

23 Si puellam virginem desponderit vir, et invenerit eam aliquis in civitate, et concubuerit cum ea,

If there is a young woman who is a virgin pledged to be married to a husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;

24 educes utrumque ad portam civitatis illius, et lapidibus obruentur: puella, quia non clamavit, cum esset in civitate: vir, quia humiliavit uxorem proximi sui. Et auferes malum de medio tui.

then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones; the woman, because she did not cry, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor's wife: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.

25 Sin autem in agro repererit vir puellam, quæ desponsata est, et apprehendens concubuerit cum ea, ipse morietur solus:

But if the man find the woman who is pledged to be married in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her; then the man only who lay with her shall die:

26 puella nihil patietur, nec est rea mortis: quoniam sicut latro consurgit contra fratrem suum, et occidit animam eius, ita et puella perpessa est.

but to the woman you shall do nothing; there is in the woman no sin worthy of death: for as when a man rises against his neighbor, and kills him, even so is this matter;

27 Sola erat in agro: clamavit, et nullus affuit qui liberaret eam.

for he found her in the field, the pledged to be married woman cried, and there was none to save her.

28 Si invenerit vir puellam virginem, quæ non habet sponsum, et apprehendens concubuerit cum illa, et res ad iudicium venerit:

If a man find a woman who is a virgin, who is not pledged to be married, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;

29 dabit qui dormivit cum ea, patri puellæ quinquaginta siclos argenti, et habebit eam uxorem, quia humiliavit illam: non poterit dimittere eam cunctis diebus vitæ suæ.

then the man who lay with her shall give to the woman's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has humbled her; he may not put her away all his days.

30 Non accipiet homo uxorem patris sui, nec revelabit operimentum eius.

A man shall not take his father's wife, and shall not uncover his father's skirt.
