Deuteronomii 23
1 Non intravit eunuchus attritis vel amputatis testiculis et abscisso veretro, ecclesiam Domini.
Neither he that hath been mutilated by crushing, nor he that hath had his privy member cut off, shall enter into the convocation of Yahweh.
2 Non ingredietur mamzer, hoc est, de scorto natus, in ecclesiam Domini, usque ad decimam generationem.
A bastard shall not enter into the convocation of Yahweh, —even to the tenth generation, shall none of his enter into the convocation of Yahweh.
3 Ammonites et Moabites etiam post decimam generationem non intrabunt ecclesiam Domini, in aeternum:
Neither an Ammonite nor a Moabite shall enter into the convocation of Yahweh, —even to the tenth generation, shall none that belong to them enter into the convocation of Yahweh, unto times age-abiding:
4 quia noluerunt vobis occurrere cum pane et aqua in via quando egressi estis de Aegypto: et quia conduxerunt contra te Balaam filium Beor de Mesopotamia Syriae, ut malediceret tibi:
because they met you not with bread and water, in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, —but hired against thee Balaam son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
5 et noluit Dominus Deus tuus audire Balaam, vertitque maledictionem eius in benedictionem tuam, eo quod diligeret te.
Nevertheless, Yahweh thy God consented not to hearken unto Balaam, but Yahweh thy God turned, for thee, the curse into a blessing, —because Yahweh thy God loved thee.
6 Non facies cum eis pacem, nec quaeras eis bona cunctis diebus vitae tuae in sempiternum.
Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their welfare, —all thy days, unto times age-abiding.
7 Non abominaberis Idumaeum, quia frater tuus est: nec Aegyptium, quia advena fuisti in terra eius.
Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite, for thy brother, he is, —thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian, for a sojourner, becamest thou in his land;
8 Qui nati fuerint ex eis, tertia generatione intrabunt in ecclesiam Domini.
the sons who are born to them, of the third generation, may enter unto them in the convocation of Yahweh.
9 Quando egressus fueris adversus hostes tuos in pugnam, custodies te ab omni re mala.
When thou goest forth into camp against thine enemies, then shalt thou beware of everything foul.
10 Si fuerit inter vos homo, qui nocturno pollutus sit somnio, egredietur extra castra,
When there is in thy midst a man who is not clean through a mischance of the night, then shall he go forth unto the outside of the camp, he shall not come into the midst of the camp;
11 et non revertetur, priusquam ad vesperam lavetur aqua: et post solis occasum regredietur in castra.
but it shall be, when the evening cometh on, he shall bathe himself in water, —and at the going in of the sun, he shall come into the midst of the camp.
12 Habebis locum extra castra, ad quem egrediaris ad requisita naturae,
And a place aside, shalt thou have, without the camp, —whither thou canst go forth abroad;
13 gerens paxillum in balteo. cumque sederis, fodies per circuitum, et egesta humo operies
and a blade, shalt thou have upon thy staff, —so shall it be, that when thou wouldest sit down outside, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which hath passed 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 foeditatis ne derelinquat te.
for, Yahweh thy God, walketh to and fro in the midst of thy camp, to rescue thee, and to deliver up thine enemies before thee, so shall thy camps be holy, —and he shall see in thee no shameful thing, that he should turn away from following thee.
15 Non trades servum Domino suo, qui ad te confugerit.
Thou shalt not deliver up a slave unto his lord, —one who maketh his escape unto thee, from his lord:
16 habitabit tecum in loco, qui ei placuerit, et in una urbium tuarum requiescet: ne contristes eum.
with thee, shall he remain in thy midst, in the place which he shall choose in any of thy gates where it seemeth good to him, —thou shalt not oppress him.
17 Non erit meretrix de filiabus Israel, nec scortator de filiis Israel.
There shall be no female devotee of the daughters of Israel, —neither shall there be, a male devotee, 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 wages of an unchaste woman, or the hire of a dog, into the house of Yahweh thy God for any vow, —for, an abomination unto Yahweh thy God, are they both.
19 Non foenerabis fratri tuo ad usuram pecuniam, nec fruges, nec quamlibet aliam rem:
Thou shalt not lend on interest to thy brother, interest of silver, interest of food, —interest of any thing that can be 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.
to a foreigner, thou mayest lend on interest, but to thy brother, shalt thou not lend on interest, —that Yahweh thy God may bless thee, in everything where-unto thou puttest thy hand, upon the land which thou art entering to possess.
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 Yahweh thy God, thou shalt not delay to make it good, —for Yahweh thy God would, require, it of thee, and it should be in thee sin.
22 Si nolueris polliceri, absque peccato eris.
But, if thou refrain from vowing, it shall not be in thee sin.
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 goeth forth out of thy lips, thou must observe and do, —according as thou didst vow unto Yahweh thy God the free-will, offering of which thou didst speak with thy mouth.
24 Ingressus vineam proximi tui, comede uvas quantum tibi placuerit: foras autem ne efferas tecum.
When thou enterest into the vineyard of thy neighbour, then mayest thou eat grapes at thy pleasure to thy fill, -but into thy vessel, shalt thou put none.
25 Si intraveris in segetem amici tui, franges spicas, et manu conteres: falce autem non metes.
When thou enterest the standing corn of thy neighbour, thou mayest pluck off ears with thy hand, —but a sickle, shalt thou not wield against the standing corn of thy neighbour.
