Deuteronomy 22

1 Thou schalt not se `thi brotheris oxe, ethir scheep, errynge, and schalt passe, but thou schalt brynge ayen to thi brother.

「你若看見弟兄的牛或羊失迷了路，不可佯為不見，總要把牠牽回來交給你的弟兄。

2 And if thi brother is not nyy, nether thou knowist hym, thou schalt lede tho beestis in to thin hows, and tho schulen be at thee, as long as thi brother sekith tho, and til he resseyue hem.

你弟兄若離你遠，或是你不認識他，就要牽到你家去，留在你那裏，等你弟兄來尋找就還給他。

3 In lijk maner thou schalt do of `the asse, and clooth, and of ech thing of thi brother, that was lost; if thou fyndist it, be thou not necgligent as of an alien thing.

你的弟兄無論失落甚麼，或是驢，或是衣服，你若遇見，都要這樣行，不可佯為不見。

4 If thou seest that the asse, ethir oxe of thi brothir felde in the weye, thou schalt not dispise, but thou schalt `reise with hym.

你若看見弟兄的牛或驢跌倒在路上，不可佯為不見，總要幫助他拉起來。

5 A womman schal not be clothid in a mannys clooth, nether a man schal vse a wommannys cloth; for he that doith thes thingis is abhomynable bifor God. If thou goist in the weie,

「婦女不可穿戴男子所穿戴的，男子也不可穿婦女的衣服，因為這樣行都是耶和華－你上帝所憎惡的。

6 and fyndist a `nest of a brid in a tree, ethir in the erthe, and fyndist the modir sittynge on the briddis ethir eyrun, thou schalt not holde the modir with `the children, but thou schalt suffre `the modir go,

「你若路上遇見鳥窩，或在樹上或在地上，裏頭有雛或有蛋，母鳥伏在雛上或在蛋上，你不可連母帶雛一併取去。

7 and schalt holde the sones takun, that it be wel to thee, and thou lyue in long tyme. Whanne thou bildist a newe hows,

總要放母，只可取雛；這樣你就可以享福，日子得以長久。

8 thou schalt make a wal of the roof bi cumpas, lest blood be sched out in thin hows, and thou be gilti, if another man slidith, and falle in to a dich.

「你若建造房屋，要在房上的四圍安欄杆，免得有人從房上掉下來，流血的罪就歸於你家。

9 Thou schalt not sowe thi vyner `of another seed, lest bothe the seed which thou hast sowe, and tho thingis that `comen forth of the vyner, ben halewid togidere.

「不可把兩樣種子種在你的葡萄園裏，免得你撒種所結的和葡萄園的果子都要充公。

10 Thou schalt not ere with an oxe and asse togidere.

不可並用牛、驢耕地。

11 Thou schalt not be clothid in a cloth, which is wouun togidir of wolle and `of flex.

不可穿羊毛、細麻兩樣攙雜料做的衣服。

12 Thou schalt make litle cordis bi foure corneris in the hemmys of thi mentil, `with which thou art hilid.

「你要在所披的外衣上四圍做繸子。」

13 If a man weddith a wijf, and aftirward hatith hir,

「人若娶妻，與她同房之後恨惡她，

14 and sekith occasiouns bi which he `schal forsake hir, and puttith ayens hir `the werste name, and seith, Y haue take this wijf, and Y entride to hir, and Y foond not hir virgyn; the fadir and modir of hir schulen take

信口說她，將醜名加在她身上，說：『我娶了這女子，與她同房，見她沒有貞潔的憑據』；

15 hir, and thei schulen bere with hem the signes of her virgynyte to the eldre men of the citee, that ben in the yate;

女子的父母就要把女子貞潔的憑據拿出來，帶到本城門長老那裏。

16 and the fadir schal seie, Y yaf my douytir wijf to this man, and for he hatith hir, he puttith to hir `the werste name,

女子的父親要對長老說：『我將我的女兒給這人為妻，他恨惡她，

17 that he seye, Y foond not thi douytir virgyn; and lo! these ben the signes of virgynyte of my douytir; thei schulen sprede forth a cloth bifor the eldre men of the citee. And the eldere men of that citee schulen

信口說她，說：我見你的女兒沒有貞潔的憑據；其實這就是我女兒貞潔的憑據。』父母就把那布鋪在本城的長老面前。

18 take the man, and schulen bete hym,

本城的長老要拿住那人，懲治他，

19 and ferthermore thei schulen condempne hym in an hundrid siclis of siluer, whiche he schal yyue to the `fadir of the damysel, for he diffamide the werste name on a virgyn of Israel; and he schal haue hir wijf, and he schal not mowe forsake hir, in al `the tyme of his lijf.

並要罰他一百舍客勒銀子，給女子的父親，因為他將醜名加在以色列的一個處女身上。女子仍作他的妻，終身不可休她。

20 That if it is soth, that he puttith ayens hir, and virgynyte is not foundun in the damysel, thei schulen caste hir `out of `the yatis of

但這事若是真的，女子沒有貞潔的憑據，

21 the hous of hir fadir; and men of that citee schulen oppresse hir with stoonys, and sche schal die, for sche dide vnleueful thing in Israel, that sche dide fornycacioun in `the hows of hir fadir; and thou schalt do awey yuel fro the myddis of thee.

就要將女子帶到她父家的門口，本城的人要用石頭將她打死；因為她在父家行了淫亂，在以色列中做了醜事。這樣，就把那惡從你們中間除掉。

22 If a man slepith with `the wijf of another man, euer eithir schal die, that is, auowter and auowtresse; and thou schalt do awey yuel fro Israel.

「若遇見人與有丈夫的婦人行淫，就要將姦夫淫婦一併治死。這樣，就把那惡從以色列中除掉。

23 If a man spousith a damysel virgyn, and a man fyndith hir in the citee, and doith letcherie with hir,

「若有處女已經許配丈夫，有人在城裏遇見她，與她行淫，

24 thou schalt lede euer eithir to the yate of that citee, and thei schulen be oppressid with stoonus; the damysel schal be stonyd, for sche criede not, whanne sche was in the citee; the man schal `be stonyd, for he `made low the wijf of his neiybore; and thou schalt do awei yuel fro the myddis of thee.

你們就要把這二人帶到本城門，用石頭打死－女子是因為雖在城裏卻沒有喊叫；男子是因為玷污別人的妻。這樣，就把那惡從你們中間除掉。

25 Forsothe if a man fyndith in the feeld a `damysel, which is spousid, and he takith, and doith letcherie with hir, he aloone schal die;

「若有男子在田野遇見已經許配人的女子，強與她行淫，只要將那男子治死。

26 the damysel schal suffre no thing of yuel, nethir is gilti of deeth; for as a theef risith ayens his brothir, and sleeth `his lijf, so and the damysel suffride; sche was aloone in the feeld,

但不可辦女子；她本沒有該死的罪，這事就類乎人起來攻擊鄰舍，將他殺了一樣。

27 sche criede, and noon was present, that schulde delyuer hir.

因為男子是在田野遇見那已經許配人的女子，女子喊叫，並無人救她。

28 If a man fyndith a damysel virgyn that hath no spowse, and takith, and doith letcherie with hir, and the thing cometh to the doom,

「若有男子遇見沒有許配人的處女，抓住她，與她行淫，被人看見，

29 he that slepte with hir schal yyue to `the fadir of the damysel fifti siclis of siluer, and he schal haue hir wijf, for he `made hir low; he schal not mow forsake hir, in alle the daies of his lijf.

這男子就要拿五十舍客勒銀子給女子的父親；因他玷污了這女子，就要娶她為妻，終身不可休她。

30 A man schal not take `the wijf of his fadir, nethir he schal schewe `the hilyng of hir.

「人不可娶繼母為妻；不可掀開他父親的衣襟。」
