申命記

第23章

1 「凡外腎受傷的,或被閹割的,不可入耶和華的會。

2 「私生子不可入耶和華的會;他的子孫,直到十代,也不可入耶和華的會。

3 「亞捫人或是摩押人不可入耶和華的會;他們的子孫,雖過十代,也永不可入耶和華的會。

4 因為你們出埃及的時候,他們沒有拿食物和水在路上迎接你們,又因他們雇了美索不達米亞的毗奪人比珥的兒子巴蘭來咒詛你們。

5 然而耶和華─你的神不肯聽從巴蘭,耶和華─你的神[LORD thy God]卻使那咒詛的言語變為祝福的話,因為耶和華─你的神愛你。

6 你一生一世永不可求他們的平安和他們的利益。

7 [Thou]不可憎惡以東人;因為他是你的兄弟[brother][thou]不可憎惡埃及人;因為你在他的地上作過客旅[stranger]

8 他們第三代子孫可以入耶和華的會。

9 「你出兵攻打仇敵,就要遠避諸惡。

10 「你們中間,若有人夜間偶然夢遺,不潔淨,就要出到營外,不可入營;

11 到傍晚的時候,他要用水洗澡,及至日落了才可以入營。

12 「你在營外也該定出一個地方作為便所。

13 在你器械之中當預備一把鍬,你出營外便溺以後,用以鏟土,轉身掩蓋。

14 因為耶和華─你的神常在你營中行走,要救護你,將仇敵交給你,所以你的營理當聖潔,免得他見你那裏有污穢,就離開你。

15 「若有僕人[servant]脫了主人的手,逃到你那裏,你不可將他交付他的主人。

16 他必在你那裏與你同住,在你城門之內[in one of thy gates],要由他選擇一個所喜悅的地方居住;你不可欺負他。

17 「以色列的女子中不可有淫婦[whore];以色列的男子中不可有一人效法所多瑪人[a sodomite]

18 淫婦[whore]所得的錢,或犬類[dog]所得的價,你不可帶入耶和華─你神的殿還願,因為這兩樣都是耶和華─你神所憎惡的。

19 「你借給你兄弟[brother]的,或是錢財或是糧食,無論甚麼可生利的物,都不可取利。

20 借給外人[stranger]可以取利;只是借給你兄弟[brother]不可取利。這樣,耶和華─你神必在你所去得為業的地上和你手裏所辦的一切事上賜福與你。

21 「你向耶和華─你的神許願,償還不可遲延;因為耶和華─你的神必定向你追討,你不償還就有罪。

22 然而[But]你若不許願,倒無罪。

23 你嘴裏所出的,就是你口中應許甘心所獻的,要照你向耶和華─你神所許的願謹守遵行。

24 「你進了鄰居的葡萄園,可以隨意吃飽了葡萄;只是[thou]不可裝在器皿中。

25 你進了鄰居站著的禾稼,可以用手摘穗子;只是[thou]不可用鐮刀割取禾稼。

Deuteronomy

Chapter 23

1 NO adulterer shall enter into the assembly of the LORD.

2 Neither shall a bastard enter into the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation, his descendants shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD.

3 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to the tenth generation, his descendants shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD for ever;

4 Because they did not meet you with bread and with water on the way, when you came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Aram-nahrin (Mesopotamia) to curse you.

5 Nevertheless the LORD your God would not hearken to Balaam; but the LORD your God turned his curses into blessings to you, because the LORD your God loved you.

6 You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all the days of your life for ever.

7 You shall not drive away an Edomite, for he is your brother; you shall not drive away an Egyptian, because you were a sojourner in his land.

8 The children that are born to them shall enter into the assembly of the LORD in their third generation.

9 When you go forth into the camp against your enemies, you shall beware of every wicked thing.

10 If there is among you any man who is not clean by reason of an emission at night, then he shall go outside the camp, he shall not come within the camp;

11 But when the evening comes on, he shall bathe himself with water; and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.

12 You shall have a latrine outside the camp, to which you shall go to relieve yourself.

13 And you shall have a peg upon your weapon; and it shall be, when you relieve yourself, you shall dig with it, and then you shall cover your dung;

14 For the LORD your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and to subdue your enemies before you; therefore shall your camp be holy, that he may not see anything unclean in your camp, and turn away from you.

15 You shall not deliver to his master a servant who has escaped from his master to you;

16 But he shall dwell with you in the place which he shall choose in one of your towns, where it pleases him best; you shall not oppress him.

17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, also there shall be no sodomite of the sons of Israel.

18 You shall not bring the hire of a whore or the price of a dog into the house of the LORD your God for any vow; for both of these are an abomination before the LORD your God.

19 You shall not lend with interest to your brother: interest of money, interest of grain, and the interest of anything that is lent with interest;

20 To a foreigner you may lend with interest; but to your brother you shall not lend with interest, that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you set your hand to in the land which you shall go in to possess.

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 a sin in you.

22 But if you are unwilling to make a vow, then it shall be no sin in you.

23 That which is gone out of your lips you shall keep and perform; just as you have vowed a freewill offering to the LORD your God, which you have promised with your mouth.

24 When you come into your neighbor's vineyard, then you may eat grapes, your fill at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any into your vessel.

25 When you come into the standing wheat of your neighbor, you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not put a sickle to your neighbor's standing grain.
