Deuteronomii 22
1 non videbis bovem fratris tui aut ovem errantem et praeteribis sed reduces fratri tuo
Thou shalt not see the ox of thy brother or his sheep, going astray, and turn away from them, —thou shalt, bring them back unto thy brother.
2 etiam si non est propinquus tuus frater nec nosti eum duces in domum tuam et erunt apud te quamdiu quaerat ea frater tuus et recipiat
And, if thy brother be not nigh unto thee or thou know him not, then shalt thou make room for it within thee own shed and it shall be with thee, until thy brother seek after it, when thou shalt return it unto him.
3 similiter facies de asino et de vestimento et de omni re fratris tui quae perierit si inveneris eam ne neglegas quasi alienam
And, so, shalt thou do with his ass, and, so, shalt thou do with his mantle and, so, shalt thou do with any lost thing of thy brother’s, which shall go astray from him and thou shalt find, —thou mayest not turn away.
4 si videris asinum fratris tui aut bovem cecidisse in via non despicies sed sublevabis cum eo
Thou shalt not see the ass of thy brother or his ox fallen in the way, and turn away from them, —thou shalt, raise, them with him.
5 non induetur mulier veste virili nec vir utetur veste feminea abominabilis enim apud Deum est qui facit haec
A woman shall not have on the wearing apparel of a man, nor shall a man put on the mantle of a woman; for an abomination to Yahweh thy God, is any one who doeth these things.
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
When a bird’s-nest chanceth to be before thee, —in the way, in any tree or upon the ground, whether with nestlings or eggs, and, the mother, be sitting upon the nestlings or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the mother upon the young;
7 sed abire patieris captos tenens filios ut bene sit tibi et longo vivas tempore
thou shalt, let go, the mother, and then, her young, mayest thou take for thyself, —that it may go well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.
8 cum aedificaveris domum novam facies murum tecti per circuitum ne effundatur sanguis in domo tua et sis reus labente alio et in praeceps ruente
When thou buildest a new house, then shalt thou make a parapet to thy roof, so shalt thou not treasure up blood-guiltiness against thy house, for he that is in danger of falling might fall therefrom.
9 non seres vineam tuam altero semine ne et sementis quam sevisti et quae nascuntur ex vinea pariter sanctificentur
Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with two sorts of seed, —lest the fulness of the seed which thou sowest, and the increase of thy vineyard be profaned.
10 non arabis in bove simul et asino
Thou shalt not plough with an ox and an ass together,
11 non indueris vestimento quod ex lana linoque contextum est
Thou shalt not put on linsey-woolsey, of wool and flax together.
12 funiculos in fimbriis facies per quattuor angulos pallii tui quo operieris
Tassels, shalt thou make thee, —on the four corners of thy vesture, wherewith thou dost cover thyself.
13 si duxerit vir uxorem et postea eam odio habuerit
When a man taketh a wife, —and goeth in unto her and hateth her;
14 quaesieritque occasiones quibus dimittat eam obiciens ei nomen pessimum et dixerit uxorem hanc accepi et ingressus ad eam non inveni virginem
and raiseth against her occasions of speech, and bringeth upon her an evil name, and saith—This woman, I took, and approached her, and found not that she had 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 damsel and her mother take and bring forth the tokens of the virginity of the damsel, unto the elders of the city, in the gate;
16 et dicet pater filiam meam dedi huic uxorem quam quia odit
and the father of the damsel shall say unto the elders, —My daughter, gave I unto this man to wife and he hated her;
17 inponet ei nomen pessimum ut dicat non inveni filiam tuam virginem et ecce haec sunt signa virginitatis filiae meae expandent vestimentum coram senibus civitatis
and lo! he, hath raised occasions of speech, saying—I found not that thy daughter had the tokens of virginity and yet, these, are the tokens of the virginity of my daughter. And they shall spread out the garment before the elders of the city.
18 adprehendentque senes urbis illius virum et verberabunt illum
Then shall the elders of that city take the man, and chastise him;
19 condemnantes insuper centum siclis argenti quos dabit patri puellae quoniam diffamavit nomen pessimum super virginem Israhel habebitque eam uxorem et non poterit dimittere omni tempore vitae suae
and fine him a hundred [shekels] of silver and give unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought an evil name upon a virgin of Israel, and she shall remain his wife, he may not put her away, all his days.
20 quod si verum est quod obicit et non est in puella inventa virginitas
But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found with the damsel,
21 eicient eam extra fores domus patris sui et lapidibus obruent viri civitatis eius et morietur quoniam fecit nefas in Israhel ut fornicaretur in domo patris sui et auferes malum de medio tui
then shall they bring forth the damsel into the entrance of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die, because she hath wrought wickedness in Israel, by committing unchastity in her father’s house, —so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst.
22 si dormierit vir cum uxore alterius uterque morientur id est adulter et adultera et auferes malum de Israhel
When a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then shall, both, of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman, so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of Israel.
23 si puellam virginem desponderit vir et invenerit eam aliquis in civitate et concubuerit cum illa
When a damsel that is a virgin is betrothed to a husband, —and a man findeth her in the city, and lieth 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 shall ye bring them, both, out unto the gate of that city, and stone them with stones that they die, the damsel, because she made not an outcry in the city, and the man because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife, —so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst.
25 sin autem in agro reppererit vir puellam quae desponsata est et adprehendens concubuerit cum illa ipse morietur solus
But if in the field, the man find the betrothed damsel and the man force her and lie with her, then shall the man that lay with her die he alone;
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, unto the damsel, shalt thou do nothing, the damsel, is not guilty of a sin worthy of death, for as when a man riseth up against his neighbour, and smiteth him so as to take away life, so, is this matter;
27 sola erat in agro clamavit et nullus adfuit qui liberaret eam
for in the field, he found her, —the betrothed damsel, made an outcry, and there was none to save her.
28 si invenerit vir puellam virginem quae non habet sponsum et adprehendens concubuerit cum ea et res ad iudicium venerit
When a man findeth a damsel that is a virgin who is not betrothed, and layeth hold of her and lieth with her, and they are found,
29 dabit qui dormivit cum ea patri puellae quinquaginta siclos argenti et habebit eam uxorem quia humiliavit illam non poterit dimittere cunctis diebus vitae suae
then shall the man who lay with her give unto the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, —and she shall be, his, wife, because he hath 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, —neither shall he turn aside his father’s coverlet.
