< Второзаконие 23 >

1 Да не входит каженик и скопец в сонм Господень.
“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 Ниже да внидет блудородный во храм Господень до десятаго рода.
“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 Да не внидет Амманитин и Моавитин в храм Господень: и даже до десятаго рода да не входит в храм Господень, и даже до века,
“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 понеже не сретоша они вас с хлебы и водою на пути, исходящым вам из земли Египетския, и яко наяша на тя Валаама сына Веорова от Месопотамии, да тя прокленет:
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 и не восхоте Господь Бог твой послушати Валаама, и обрати Господь Бог твой клятвы в благословение, зане возлюби тя Господь Бог твой:
But Yahweh our God did not pay attention to Balaam; instead, he caused Balaam to bless your ancestors, because Yahweh loved them.
6 да не совещаеши мирная им и полезная им во вся дни твоя во веки.
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 Да не возгнушаешися Идумеанином, яко брат твой есть: да не возгнушаешися Египтянином, яко пришлец был еси в земли его:
“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 сынове аще родятся им, в роде третием да внидут в храм Господень.
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 Аще же изыдеши ополчитися на враги твоя, и да сохранишися от всякаго слова зла.
“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 Аще будет у тебе человек, иже не будет чист от излияния его нощию, и да изыдет вне полка, и да не внидет в полк:
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 и егда будет к вечеру, да омыет тело свое водою, и зашедшу солнцу да внидет в полк.
But in the evening of that day, he must bathe himself, and at sunset he is allowed to come back into the camp.
12 И место тебе да будет вне полка, и изыдеши тамо вон:
“Your soldiers must have a toilet area outside the camp where you can go [when you need to].
13 и рылец да будет тебе за поясом твоим, и будет егда сядеши вне, и да ископаеши им (яму), и навратив покрыеши стыдение твое в ней:
[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 яко Господь Бог твой ходит в полце твоем избавляти тя и предати враги твоя в руце твои пред лицем твоим: и да будет полк твой свят, и да не явится у тебе стыдение вещи, и отвратится от тебе.
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 Да не предаси раба господину его, иже прииде к тебе от господина своего:
“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 с тобою да обитает, с вами да живет во всяком месте, идеже угодно будет ему: да не оскорбиши его.
Allow them to stay/live among you, in whatever town they choose, and do not mistreat them.
17 Да не будет блудница от дщерей Израилевых, и да не будет блудник от сынов Израилевым.
“Do not [allow] any Israeli man or woman [to] become a prostitute at the temple.
18 Да не принесеши мзды блудничи, ниже цене песии в дом Господа Бога твоего на всяк обет, яко мерзость суть Господеви Богу твоему и обоя.
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 Да не даси брату твоему в лихву сребра и в лихву пищей и в лихву всякия вещи, емуже аще взаим даси:
“When you lend money or food or anything else to a fellow Israeli, do not charge them interest.
20 чуждему да даси в лихву, брату же твоему да не даси в лихву, да благословит тя Господь Бог твой во всех делех твоих на земли, в нюже входиши тамо наследити ю.
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 Аще же обещаеши обет Господеви Богу твоему, да не умедлиши воздати его, яко взыская взыщет Господь Бог твой от тебе, и будет на тебе грех:
“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 аще же не восхощеши обещати, несть ти греха.
But if you [SYN] do not vow [to do something], that is not sinful.
23 Исходящая на уст твоих сохрани и сотвори, имже образом обещал еси Господеви Богу твоему дар, егоже глаголал еси устами твоими.
But if you voluntarily promise to do something, you must do it.
24 Аще же внидеши на ниву ближняго своего, и собереши в руце свои класы, а серпа да не возложиши на ниву ближняго.
“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 Аще же внидеши в виноград ближняго своего, да яси гроздие, елико души твоей насытитися, в сосуд же да не вложиши.
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].”
