< Piektā Mozus 23 >

1 Neviens, kam kaunums ir sagrūsts, vai kas ir rāmits(kastrēts), lai nenāk Tā Kunga draudzē.
“Any man whose testicles are crushed or whose penis is cut off shall not be (included as one of/allowed to worship with) Yahweh’s people.
2 Nevienam maukas bērnam nebūs nākt Tā Kunga draudzē, un arī viņa desmitam augumam nebūs nākt Tā Kunga draudzē.
“No (illegitimate person/person whose mother and father were not married), or descendant of that person, extending to the tenth generation, shall be included as one of Yahweh’s people.
3 Nevienam Amonietim un nevienam Moabietim nebūs nākt Tā Kunga draudzē, līdz pat viņu desmitam augumam; ne mūžam tiem nebūs nākt Tā Kunga draudzē.
“No one from the Ammon or Moab people-groups shall be (included as one of/allowed to worship with) Yahweh’s people, extending to the tenth generation.
4 Tādēļ ka tie jums nav pretī nākuši ar maizi un ar ūdeni tai ceļā, kad jūs izgājāt no Ēģiptes zemes, un ka viņš pret tevi ir derējis Bileāmu, Beora dēlu, no Petoras, no Mezopotamijas, tevi nolādēt.
One reason is that their [leaders] refused to give your ancestors food and water when they were traveling from Egypt [to Canaan]. Another reason is that they wanted to pay Balaam, the son of Beor from Pethor [town] in Mesopotamia, to curse you Israelis.
5 Bet Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, negribēja Bileāmu paklausīt, bet Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, lāstu tev pārvērta par svētību, tādēļ ka Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi mīlēja.
But Yahweh our God did not pay attention to Balaam; instead, he caused Balaam to bless your ancestors, because Yahweh loved them.
6 Tādēļ tev nebūs meklēt viņu mieru nedz viņu labumu visās tavās dienās ne mūžam.
As long as Israel is a nation, you must not do anything to cause things to go well for those two people-groups or enable them to prosper.
7 Edomieti tev nebūs turēt par negantu, jo tas ir tavs brālis; Ēģiptieti tev nebūs turēt par negantu, jo tu esi bijis piemitējs viņa zemē.
“But do not despise anyone from the Edom people-group, because they are [descendants of your ancestor Jacob], just like you are. And do not despise people from Egypt, because [they treated your ancestors well when] they first lived in Egypt.
8 Tie bērni, kas viņam piedzims trešā augumā, tie lai nāk Tā Kunga draudzē. -
The children and grandchildren of people from Edom and Egypt [who live among you] may be (included among/allowed to worship with) Yahweh’s people.”
9 Kad tu no lēģera izej pret saviem ienaidniekiem, tad tev būs sargāties no ikvienas ļaunas lietas.
“When your soldiers are living in tents at a time of fighting your enemies, they must avoid doing things that would make them unacceptable to God.
10 Kad tavā starpā kāds vīrs, kas ir nešķīsts, kad tam naktī kas ir noticis, tas lai iziet ārā no lēģera.
If any soldier becomes unacceptable to God because semen comes out of his body during the night, [the next morning] he must go outside the camp and stay there during that day.
11 Tam nebūs nākt lēģerī, bet pret vakaru lai viņš mazgājās ar ūdeni, un kad saule nogājusi, tad lai viņš nāk lēģerī. -
But in the evening of that day, he must bathe himself, and at sunset he is allowed to come back into the camp.
12 Lai tev arī ir vieta ārpus lēģera, kur tu vari noiet.
“Your soldiers must have a toilet area outside the camp where you can go [when you need to].
13 Un lai tev ir lāpstiņa pie tavām citām lietām, un kad tu ārā sēdēsi, tad tev ar to būs rakt un atkal apraust, ko tu izmetis.
[When you go to fight against your enemies], carry a stick along with your weapons, in order that when you need to defecate [EUP], you can dig a hole with the stick, and then cover up the hole [when you have finished defecating].
14 Jo Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, staigā tavā lēģerī, tevi pestīdams un tavus ienaidniekus tavā priekšā nododams, tāpēc tavam lēģerim būs būt svētam, lai Viņš neredz nekādu kauna lietu tavā starpā un nenogriežas no tevis.
You must keep the camp acceptable to Yahweh our God, because he is with you in your camp to protect you and to enable you to defeat your enemies. Do not do anything disgraceful/indecent that would cause Yahweh to abandon you.”
15 Kalpu, kas no sava kunga pie tevis izglābies, tev nebūs nodot viņa kungam.
“If slaves who escape from their masters come to you [and request you to protect them], do not send them back to their masters.
16 Lai tas paliek pie tevis tavā vidū, tai vietā, ko viņš izredzēsies kaut kur tavos vārtos, kur viņam patīk; tev nebūs viņam pāri darīt. -
Allow them to stay/live among you, in whatever town they choose, and do not mistreat them.
17 Lai nav maukas starp Israēla meitām, nedz maucinieka starp Israēla dēliem.
“Do not [allow] any Israeli man or woman [to] become a prostitute at the temple.
18 Ne maukas algu nedz suņa naudu tev nebūs nest Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, namā par kādu solījumu: jo tie abi Tam Kungam, tavam Dievam, ir negantība.
Also, do not allow any people who earned money from being a prostitute to bring any of that money into the temple of Yahweh our God, even if they solemnly promised to pay that money to Yahweh. Yahweh hates those who are prostitutes.
19 No sava brāļa tev nebūs augļus dzīt, nedz naudas augļus nedz barības augļus nedz citas kādas lietas augļus, ar ko var augļus dzīt.
“When you lend money or food or anything else to a fellow Israeli, do not charge them interest.
20 No svešiem tu vari augļus dzīt, bet no sava brāļa tev nebūs augļus dzīt, lai Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi svētī pie visa, kur tu savu roku pieliec, tai zemē, ko tu ej iemantot. -
You are allowed to charge interest when you lend money to foreigners [who live in your land], but not when you lend money to Israelis. Do this in order that Yahweh our God will bless you in everything that you do in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
21 Kad tu Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, esi apsolījis kādu solījumu, tad tev nebūs kavēt to maksāt, jo Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, to tiešām no tevis prasīs un tas tev būs par grēku.
“When you vow to give something to Yahweh your God [or to do something for him], do it as soon as you can. Yahweh expects you to do what you promised, and if you do not do it, you will be committing a sin.
22 Kad tu nesoli, tad tas tev nebūs par grēku.
But if you [SYN] do not vow [to do something], that is not sinful.
23 Kas no tavām lūpām iziet, to tev būs turēt un darīt, itin kā tu Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, esi solījis no laba prāta to, ko tu ar savu muti esi runājis. -
But if you voluntarily promise to do something, you must do it.
24 Kad tu ej sava tuvākā vīna dārzā, tad tu vari ogas ēst, kā tev tīk, kamēr tu paēdis, bet savā traukā tev neko nebūs ielikt.
“When you walk through someone else’s vineyard, you are allowed to [pick and] eat as many grapes as you want, but you must not [cut some from a vine and carry them away] in a container.
25 Kad tu ej sava tuvākā druvā, tad tu ar roku vari noplūkt vārpas, bet cirpi tev nebūs likt pie sava tuvākā druvas.
When you walk [along a path] in someone else’s field of grain, you are allowed to pluck/pick some of the grain and eat it, but you must not cut any grain with a sickle [and take it with you].”
