申命記 22

1 你如果看見你兄弟的牛羊迷了路，你不可不顧，應牽回交給你的兄弟。

Thou shalt not pass by if thou seest thy brother’s ox, or his sheep go astray: but thou shalt bring them back to thy brother.

2 如果你的兄弟離你遠，或者你不認識他，你該牽到你家中，留在你處，直到你的兄弟來尋找，你就還給他。

And if thy brother be not nigh, or thou know him not: thou shalt bring them to thy house, and they shall be with thee until thy brother seek them, and receive them.

3 對他的驢你應這樣做，對他的衣服也應這樣做；對你兄弟所失，而由你找到的一切物件，都應這樣做；決不可不管不顧。

Thou shalt do in like manner with his ass, and with his raiment, and with every thing that is thy brother’s, which is lost: if thou find it, neglect it not as pertaining to another.

4 你若看見你兄弟的驢牛在路上跌到了，你不可不顧，務要幫助他將驢牛扶起。

If thou see thy brother’s ass or his ox to be fallen down in the way, thou shalt not slight it, but shalt lift it up with him.

5 女人不可穿男人的服裝，男人亦不可穿女人的衣服；上主你的天主厭惡做這種事的人。

A woman shall not be clothed with man’s apparel, neither shall a man use woman’s apparel: for he that doeth these things is abominable before God.

6 你在路上，如果發現樹上或地上有鳥窩，裏面有雛或有蛋，母鳥在伏雛或孵卵，你不可連母鳥帶幼雛一併拿去；

If thou find as thou walkest by the way, a bird’s nest in a tree, or on the ground, and the dam sitting upon the young or upon the eggs: thou shalt not take her with her young:

7 應讓母鳥飛去，只拿去幼雛：好使你獲得幸福，而享長壽。

But shalt let her go, keeping the young which thou hast caught: that it may be well with thee, and thou mayst live a long time.

8 當你建築新屋時，應在屋頂上做上欄杆，免得有人由上跌下，而使流血的罪歸於你家。

When thou buildest a new house, thou shalt make a battlement to the roof round about: lest blood be shed in thy house, and thou be guilty, if any one slip, and fall down headlong.

9 在你的葡萄園內，不可撒上兩樣種子，免得你撒種子的收穫和葡萄園的出產，都成了禁物。

Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest both the seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of the vineyard, be sanctified together.

10 不可使牛驢一同耕作；

Thou shalt not plough with an ox and an ass together.

11 不可穿羊毛和麻混合織成的布料。

Thou shalt not wear a garment that is woven of woollen and linen together.

12 你所披的外衣，四邊應做上繸頭。

Thou shalt make strings in the hem at the four corners of thy cloak, wherewith thou shalt be covered.

13 若有人娶妻，與她結合後就憎惡她，

If a man marry a wife, and afterwards hate her,

14 捏造可恥的事，敗壞她的名譽說：「我娶了這個女人，當我與她結合時，我發現她不是處女。」

And seek occasions to put her away, laying to her charge a very ill name, and say: I took this woman to wife, and going in to her, I found her not a virgin:

15 那少女的父母應把少女的處女證，帶到城門，見本城長老。

Her father and mother shall take her, and shall bring with them the tokens of her virginity to the ancients of the city that are in the gate:

16 少女的父親應對長老說：「我將我的女兒嫁給這人為妻，他卻憎惡她，

And the father shall say: I gave my daughter unto this man to wife: and because he hateth her,

17 捏造可恥的事說：我發現你的女兒不是個處女。然而，請看我女兒的處女證! 」然後就將被單舖在本城的長老前。

He layeth to her charge a very ill name, so as to say: I found not thy daughter a virgin: and behold these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the ancients of the city:

18 本城的長老應拿住這人，加以處罰，

And the ancients of that city shall take that man, and beat him,

19 並罰他一百銀子，交給少女的父親，因為他壞了一個以色列處女的名譽，這少女仍是他的妻子，他一生不能休她。

Condemning him besides in a hundred sides of silver, which he shall give to the damsel’s father, because he hath defamed by a very ill name a virgin of Israel: and he shall have her to wife, and may not put her away all the days of his life.

20 但這事若是真的，發現少女真不是處女，

But if what he charged her with be true, and virginity be not found in the damsel:

21 就應將少女領到她父親家門口，本城的人應用石頭砸死她，因為她在以色列中做出了可恥的事，在她父家行了邪淫：這樣你由你中間剷除了這邪惡。

They shall cast her out of the doors of her father’s house, and the men of the city shall stone her to death, and she shall die: because she hath done a wicked thing in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: and thou shalt take away the evil out of the midst of thee.

22 若發現一人與一個有夫之婦同寢，與婦人同寢的男人和那婦人，二人都應處以死刑：這樣你由以色列中剷除了這邪惡。

If a man lie with another man’s wife, they shall both die, that is to say, the adulterer and the adulteress: and thou shalt take away the evil out of Israel.

23 若一年輕處女已許配與人，有人在城中遇見她，而與她同寢；

If a man have espoused a damsel that is a virgin, and some one find her in the city, and lie with her,

24 你們應將他們二人領到當地城門口，用石頭砸死他們：那少女該死，因為她雖在城裏，卻沒有呼救；那男人該死，因為他強姦了人家的妻子：這樣你由你中間剷除了邪惡。

Thou shalt bring them both out to the gate of that city, and they shall be stoned: the damsel, because she cried not out, being in the city: the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife. And thou shalt take away the evil from the midst of thee.

25 但若有人在郊野遇見了一個許配與人的少女，強姦了她，與她同寢，只有這與她同寢的人該死，

But if a man find a damsel that is betrothed, in the field, and taking hold of her, lie with her, he alone shall die:

26 對那少女，不可行刑，因為她並沒有犯死罪，因為這件事就如一個人狙擊自己的鄰人，將他殺死一樣；

The damsel shall suffer nothing, neither is she guilty of death: for as a robber riseth against his brother, and taketh away his life, so also did the damsel suffer:

27 因為那男人在郊野裏遇見了她，縱使許配與人的少女呼救，也沒有人來救她。

She was alone in the field: she cried, and there was no man to help her.

28 若有人遇見一個尚未許配與人的年輕處女，抓住她而與她同寢，並被人發見。

If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, who is not espoused, and taking her, lie with her, and the matter come to judgment:

29 這與她同寢的人應給少女的父親五十「協刻耳」銀子外，還該娶她為妻，因為他強姦了她，一生不能休她。

He that lay with her shall give to the father of the maid fifty sides of silver, and shall have her to wife, because he hath humbled her: he may not put her away all the days of his life.

30 人不可娶父親的妻子，也不可揭開父親的衣襟。

No man shall take his father’s wife, nor remove his covering.
