< Deuteronomy 23 >

1 No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off may enter the assembly of the LORD.
Non intravit eunuchus, attritis vel amputatis testiculis et abscisso veretro, ecclesiam Domini.
2 No one of illegitimate birth shall enter into the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation shall none of his enter into the assembly of the LORD.
Non ingredietur mamzer, hoc est, de scorto natus, in ecclesiam Domini, usque ad decimam generationem.
3 An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation shall none belonging to them enter into the assembly of the LORD forever:
Ammonites et Moabites etiam post decimam generationem non intrabunt ecclesiam Domini in æternum:
4 because they did not meet you with bread and with water in the way, when you came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Aram Naharaim, to curse you.
quia noluerunt vobis occurrere cum pane et aqua in via quando egressi estis de Ægypto: et quia conduxerunt contra te Balaam filium Beor de Mesopotamia Syriæ, ut malediceret tibi:
5 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.
et noluit Dominus Deus tuus audire Balaam, vertitque maledictionem ejus in benedictionem tuam, eo quod diligeret te.
6 You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
Non facies cum eis pacem, nec quæras eis bona cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ in sempiternum.
7 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.
Non abominaberis Idumæum, quia frater tuus est: nec Ægyptium, quia advena fuisti in terra ejus.
8 The children of the third generation who are born to them shall enter into the assembly of the LORD.
Qui nati fuerint ex eis, tertia generatione intrabunt in ecclesiam Domini.
9 When you go forth in camp against your enemies, then you shall keep yourselves from every evil thing.
Quando egressus fueris adversus hostes tuos in pugnam, custodies te ab omni re mala.
10 If there is among you any man who is not clean by reason of that which happens him by night, then shall he go outside of the camp. He shall not come within the camp:
Si fuerit inter vos homo, qui nocturno pollutus sit somnio, egredietur extra castra,
11 but it shall be, when evening comes on, he shall bathe himself in water; and when the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
et non revertetur, priusquam ad vesperam lavetur aqua: et post solis occasum regredietur in castra.
12 You shall have a place also outside of the camp, where you shall go outside there;
Habebis locum extra castra, ad quem egrediaris ad requisita naturæ,
13 and you shall have a spade among your tools; and it shall be, when you sit down outside, you shall dig therewith, and shall turn and cover that which comes from you:
gerens paxillum in balteo: cumque sederis, fodies per circuitum, et egesta humo operies
14 for the LORD your God walks in the midst 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.
quo revelatus es: Dominus enim Deus tuus ambulat in medio castrorum, ut eruat te, et tradat tibi inimicos tuos: et sint castra tua sancta, et nihil in eis appareat fœditatis, ne derelinquat te.
15 You shall not deliver to his master a servant who is escaped from his master to you:
Non trades servum domino suo, qui ad te confugerit.
16 he shall dwell with you, in the midst of you, in the place which he shall choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best: you shall not oppress him.
Habitabit tecum in loco, qui ei placuerit, et in una urbium tuarum requiescet: ne contristes eum.
17 There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sacred male prostitute of the children of Israel.
Non erit meretrix de filiabus Israël, nec scortator de filiis Israël.
18 You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages of a dog, into the house of the LORD your God for any vow: for even both these are an abomination to the LORD your God.
Non offeres mercedem prostibuli, nec pretium canis in domo Domini Dei tui, quidquid illud est quod voveris: quia abominatio est utrumque apud Dominum Deum tuum.
19 You shall not lend on interest to your brother; interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest:
Non fœnerabis fratri tuo ad usuram pecuniam, nec fruges, nec quamlibet aliam rem:
20 to a foreigner you may lend on interest; but to your brother you shall not lend on 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.
sed alieno. Fratri autem tuo absque usura id quo indiget, commodabis: ut benedicat tibi Dominus Deus tuus in omni opere tuo in terra, ad quam ingredieris possidendam.
21 When you shall 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.
Cum votum voveris Domino Deo tuo, non tardabis reddere: quia requiret illud Dominus Deus tuus, et si moratus fueris, reputabitur tibi in peccatum.
22 But if you shall forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in you.
Si nolueris polliceri, absque peccato eris.
23 That which is gone out of your lips you shall observe and do; according as you have vowed to the LORD your God, a freewill offering, which you have promised with your mouth.
Quod autem semel egressum est de labiis tuis, observabis, et facies sicut promisisti Domino Deo tuo, et propria voluntate et ore tuo locutus es.
24 When you come into your neighbor's vineyard, then you may eat of grapes your fill at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your vessel.
Ingressus vineam proximi tui, comede uvas, quantum tibi placuerit: foras autem ne efferas tecum.
25 When you come into your neighbor's standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not move a sickle to your neighbor's standing grain.
Si intraveris in segetem amici tui, franges spicas, et manu conteres: falce autem non metes.
