Deuteronomii 23
1 non intrabit eunuchus adtritis vel amputatis testiculis et absciso veretro ecclesiam Domini
He who is emasculated by crushing or cutting shall not enter into the LORD’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 the LORD’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one of his enter into the LORD’s assembly.
3 Ammanites et Moabites etiam post decimam generationem non intrabunt ecclesiam Domini in aeternum
An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one belonging to them enter into the LORD’s assembly forever,
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 Mesopotamiam Syriae 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 the LORD your God wouldn’t listen to Balaam, but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because the LORD your God loved you.
6 non facies cum eis pacem nec quaeres eis bona cunctis diebus vitae tuae in sempiternum
You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
7 non abominaberis Idumeum quia frater tuus est nec Aegyptium 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 ecclesiam Domini
The children of the third generation who are born to them may enter into the LORD’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 amongst 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 naturae
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 amongst your weapons. It shall be, when you relieve yourself, you shall dig with it, and shall turn back and cover your excrement;
14 quo relevatus es Dominus enim Deus tuus ambulat in medio castrorum ut eruat te et tradat tibi inimicos tuos ut sint castra tua sancta et nihil in eis appareat foeditatis nec derelinquat te
for the LORD 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 nec contristes eum
He shall dwell with you, amongst 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 Israhel neque scortator de filiis Israhel
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 domum Domini Dei tui quicquid illud est quod voverint 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 the LORD your God for any vow; for both of these are an abomination to the LORD your God.
19 non fenerabis 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 quod 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 the LORD 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 voveris votum Domino Deo tuo non tardabis reddere quia requiret illud Dominus Deus tuus et si moratus fueris reputabit tibi in peccatum
When you vow a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not be slack to pay it, for the LORD 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 the LORD 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 neighbour’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 neighbour’s standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not use a sickle on your neighbour’s standing grain.
