Deuteronomy 23

1 None that is hurt by bursting, or that hath his priuie member cut off, shall enter into the Congregation of the Lord.

Non intravit eunuchus attritis vel amputatis testiculis et abscisso veretro, ecclesiam Domini.

2 A bastard shall not enter into the Congregation of the Lord: euen to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the Congregation of the Lord.

Non ingredietur mamzer, hoc est, de scorto natus, in ecclesiam Domini, usque ad decimam generationem.

3 The Ammonites and the Moabites shall not enter into the Congregation of the Lord: euen to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the Congregation of the Lord for euer,

Ammonites et Moabites etiam post decimam generationem non intrabunt ecclesiam Domini, in æternum:

4 Because they met you not with bread and water in the way, when yee came out of Egypt, and because they hyred against thee Balaam the sonne of Beor, of Pethor in Aram-naharaim, to curse thee.

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 Neuerthelesse, the Lord thy God would not hearken vnto Balaam, but the Lord thy God turned the curse to a blessing vnto thee, because the Lord thy God loued thee.

et noluit Dominus Deus tuus audire Balaam, vertitque maledictionem eius in benedictionem tuam, eo quod diligeret te.

6 Thou shalt not seeke their peace nor their prosperitie all thy dayes for euer.

Non facies cum eis pacem, nec quæras eis bona cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ in sempiternum.

7 Thou shalt not abhorre an Edomite: for he is thy brother, neither shalt thou abhorre an Egyptian, because thou wast a strager in his land.

Non abominaberis Idumæum, quia frater tuus est: nec Ægyptium, quia advena fuisti in terra eius.

8 The children that are begotten of them in their thirde generation, shall enter into the Congregation of the Lord.

Qui nati fuerint ex eis, tertia generatione intrabunt in ecclesiam Domini.

9 When thou goest out with the host against thine enemies, keepe thee then from all wickednesse.

Quando egressus fueris adversus hostes tuos in pugnam, custodies te ab omni re mala.

10 If there be among you any that is vncleane by that which commeth to him by night, he shall goe out of the hoste, and shall not enter into the hoste,

Si fuerit inter vos homo, qui nocturno pollutus sit somnio, egredietur extra castra,

11 But at euen he shall wash him selfe with water, and when the sunne is downe, he shall enter into the hoste.

et non revertetur, priusquam ad vesperam lavetur aqua: et post solis occasum regredietur in castra.

12 Thou shalt haue a place also without the hoste whither thou shalt resort,

Habebis locum extra castra, ad quem egrediaris ad requisita naturæ,

13 And thou shalt haue a paddle among thy weapons, and when thou wouldest sit downe without, thou shalt shalt digge therewith, and returning thou shalt couer thine excrements.

gerens paxillum in balteo. cumque sederis, fodies per circuitum, et egesta humo operies

14 For the Lord thy God walketh in the mids of thy campe to deliuer thee, and to giue thee thine enemies before thee: therefore thine hoste shalbe holy, that he see no filthie thing in thee and turne away from thee.

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 Thou shalt not deliuer the seruant vnto his master, which is escaped from his master vnto thee.

Non trades servum Domino suo, qui ad te confugerit.

16 He shall dwell with thee, euen among you, in what place he shall chuse, in one of thy cities where it liketh him best: thou shalt not vexe him.

habitabit tecum in loco, qui ei placuerit, et in una urbium tuarum requiescet: ne contristes eum.

17 There shalbe no whore of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a whore keeper of the sonnes of Israel.

Non erit meretrix de filiabus Israel, nec scortator de filiis Israel.

18 Thou shalt neyther bring the hyre of a whore, nor the price of a dogge into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow: for euen both these are abomination vnto the Lord thy 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 Thou shalt not giue to vsurie to thy brother: as vsurie of money, vsurie of meate, vsurie of any thing that is put to vsurie.

Non fœnerabis fratri tuo ad usuram pecuniam, nec fruges, nec quamlibet aliam rem:

20 Vnto a stranger thou mayest lend vpon vsurie, but thou shalt not lend vpon vsurie vnto thy brother, that the Lord thy God may blesse thee in all that thou settest thine hand to, in the land whither thou goest to possesse 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 thou shalt vowe a vowe vnto the Lord thy God, thou shalt not be slacke to paye it: for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee, and so it should be sinne vnto thee.

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 when thou absteinest from vowing, it shalbe no sinne vnto thee.

Si nolueris polliceri, absque peccato eris.

23 That which is gone out of thy lippes, thou shalt keepe and performe, as thou hast vowed it willingly vnto the Lord thy God: for thou hast spoken it with thy 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 thou commest vnto thy neighbours vineyard, then thou mayest eate grapes at thy pleasure, as much as thou wilt: but thou shalt put none in thy vessell.

Ingressus vineam proximi tui, comede uvas quantum tibi placuerit: foras autem ne efferas tecum.

25 When thou commest into thy neighbours corne thou mayest plucke the eares with thine hand, but thou shalt not moue a sickle to thy neighbours corne.

Si intraveris in segetem amici tui, franges spicas, et manu conteres: falce autem non metes.
