< 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。
You shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide yourself from them: you shall in any case bring them again to your 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 your brother be not near to you, or if you know him not, then you shall bring it to your own house, and it shall be with you until your brother seek after it, and you shall restore it to him again.
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。
In like manner shall you do with his ass; and so shall you do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of your brother’s, which he has lost, and you have found, shall you do likewise: you may not hide yourself.
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。
You shall not see your brother’s ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide yourself from them: you shall surely help him to lift them up again.
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。
The woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination to the LORD your 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 a bird’s nest chance to be before you in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting on the young, or on the eggs, you shall not take the dam with the 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 you shall in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to you; that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days.
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 you build a new house, then you shall make a battlement for your roof, that you bring not blood on your house, if any man fall from there.
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。
You shall not sow your vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of your seed which you have sown, and the fruit of your vineyard, be defiled.
10 不可使牛驢一同耕作;
You shall not plow with an ox and an ass together.
11 不可穿羊毛和麻混合織成的布料。
You shall not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woolen and linen together.
12 你所披的外衣,四邊應做上繸頭。
You shall make you fringes on the four quarters of your clothing, with which you cover yourself.
13 若有人娶妻,與她結合後就憎惡她,
If any man take a wife, and go in to her, and 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 give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name on her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:
15 那少女的父母應把少女的處女證,帶到城門,見本城長老。
Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity to the elders of the city 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 damsel’s father shall say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he hates 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。
And, see, he has given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not your daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
18 本城的長老應拿住這人,加以處罰,
And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise 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。
And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the damsel, because he has brought up an evil name on a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
20 但這事若是真的,發現少女真不是處女,
But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for 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。
Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she has worked folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shall you put evil away from among you.
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 be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shall you put away evil from 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 damsel that is a virgin be betrothed to an husband, and a man 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。
Then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor’s wife: so you shall put away evil from among you.
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 betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her 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;
But to the damsel you shall do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man rises against his neighbor, and slays him, even so is this matter:
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。
For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save 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, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
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。
Then the man that lay with her shall give to the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he has humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
30 人不可娶父親的妻子,也不可揭開父親的衣襟。
A man shall not take his father’s wife, nor discover his father’s skirt.
