Deuteronomii 23
1 Non intravit eunuchus attritis vel amputatis testiculis et abscisso veretro, ecclesiam Domini.
He who is emasculated by crushing or cutting shall not enter into Yahweh’s assembly.
2 Non ingredietur mamzer, hoc est, de scorto natus, in ecclesiam Domini, usque ad decimam generationem.
A person born of a forbidden union shall not enter into Yahweh’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one of his enter into Yahweh’s assembly.
3 Ammonites et Moabites etiam post decimam generationem non intrabunt ecclesiam Domini, in æternum:
An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into Yahweh’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one belonging to them enter into Yahweh’s assembly forever,
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 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.
5 et noluit Dominus Deus tuus audire Balaam, vertitque maledictionem eius in benedictionem tuam, eo quod diligeret te.
Nevertheless Yahweh your God wouldn’t listen to Balaam, but Yahweh your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because Yahweh your God loved you.
6 Non facies cum eis pacem, nec quæras eis bona cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ in sempiternum.
You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
7 Non abominaberis Idumæum, quia frater tuus est: nec Ægyptium, quia advena fuisti in terra eius.
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.
8 Qui nati fuerint ex eis, tertia generatione intrabunt in ecclesiam Domini.
The children of the third generation who are born to them may enter into Yahweh’s assembly.
9 Quando egressus fueris adversus hostes tuos in pugnam, custodies te ab omni re mala.
When you go out and camp against your enemies, then you shall keep yourselves from every evil thing.
10 Si fuerit inter vos homo, qui nocturno pollutus sit somnio, egredietur extra castra,
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;
11 et non revertetur, priusquam ad vesperam lavetur aqua: et post solis occasum regredietur in castra.
but it shall be, when evening comes, he shall bathe himself in water. When the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
12 Habebis locum extra castra, ad quem egrediaris ad requisita naturæ,
You shall have a place also outside of the camp where you go relieve yourself.
13 gerens paxillum in balteo. Cumque sederis, fodies per circuitum, et egesta humo operies
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;
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 Yahweh 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.
15 Non trades servum domino suo, qui ad te confugerit.
You shall not deliver to his master a servant who has escaped from his master to you.
16 Habitabit tecum in loco, qui ei placuerit, et in una urbium tuarum requiescet: ne contristes eum.
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.
17 Non erit meretrix de filiabus Israel, nec scortator de filiis Israel.
There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be 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.
You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages of a male prostitute, into the house of Yahweh your God for any vow; for both of these are an abomination to Yahweh your God.
19 Non fœnerabis fratri tuo ad usuram pecuniam, nec fruges, nec quamlibet aliam rem:
You shall not lend on interest to your brother: interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest.
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.
You may charge a foreigner interest; but you shall not charge your brother interest, that Yahweh your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you go in 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 you vow a vow to Yahweh your God, you shall not be slack to pay it, for Yahweh your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.
22 Si nolueris polliceri, absque peccato eris.
But if you refrain from making a vow, it shall be no sin in you.
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.
You shall observe and do that which has gone out of your lips. Whatever you have vowed to Yahweh your God as a free will offering, which you have promised with your mouth, you must do.
24 Ingressus vineam proximi tui, comede uvas quantum tibi placuerit: foras autem ne efferas tecum.
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.
25 Si intraveris in segetem amici tui, franges spicas, et manu conteres: falce autem non metes.
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.
