Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1He who is emasculated by crushing or cutting shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly.
1Non intravit eunuchus, attritis vel amputatis testiculis et abscisso veretro, ecclesiam Domini.
2A person born of a forbidden union shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one of his enter into the LORD’s assembly.
2Non ingredietur mamzer, hoc est, de scorto natus, in ecclesiam Domini, usque ad decimam generationem.
3An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one belonging to them enter into the LORD’s assembly forever,
3Ammonites et Moabites etiam post decimam generationem non intrabunt ecclesiam Domini in æternum:
4because they didn’t meet you with bread and with water on the way when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you.
4quia 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:
5Nevertheless 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.
5et noluit Dominus Deus tuus audire Balaam, vertitque maledictionem ejus in benedictionem tuam, eo quod diligeret te.
6You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
6Non facies cum eis pacem, nec quæras eis bona cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ in sempiternum.
7You 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.
7Non abominaberis Idumæum, quia frater tuus est: nec Ægyptium, quia advena fuisti in terra ejus.
8The children of the third generation who are born to them may enter into the LORD’s assembly.
8Qui nati fuerint ex eis, tertia generatione intrabunt in ecclesiam Domini.
9When you go out and camp against your enemies, then you shall keep yourselves from every evil thing.
9Quando egressus fueris adversus hostes tuos in pugnam, custodies te ab omni re mala.
10If there is among you any man who is not clean by reason of that which happens to him by night, then shall he go outside of the camp. He shall not come within the camp;
10Si fuerit inter vos homo, qui nocturno pollutus sit somnio, egredietur extra castra,
11but it shall be, when evening comes, he shall bathe himself in water. When the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
11et non revertetur, priusquam ad vesperam lavetur aqua: et post solis occasum regredietur in castra.
12You shall have a place also outside of the camp where you go relieve yourself.
12Habebis locum extra castra, ad quem egrediaris ad requisita naturæ,
13You shall have a trowel among your weapons. It shall be, when you relieve yourself, you shall dig with it, and shall turn back and cover your excrement;
13gerens paxillum in balteo: cumque sederis, fodies per circuitum, et egesta humo operies
14for the LORD your God walks in the middle 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.
14quo 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.
15You shall not deliver to his master a servant who has escaped from his master to you.
15Non trades servum domino suo, qui ad te confugerit.
16He shall dwell with you, among you, in the place which he shall choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best. You shall not oppress him.
16Habitabit tecum in loco, qui ei placuerit, et in una urbium tuarum requiescet: ne contristes eum.
17There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
17Non erit meretrix de filiabus Israël, nec scortator de filiis Israël.
18You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages of a male prostitute, into the house of the LORD your God for any vow; for both of these are an abomination to the LORD your God.
18Non offeres mercedem prostibuli, nec pretium canis in domo Domini Dei tui, quidquid illud est quod voveris: quia abominatio est utrumque apud Dominum Deum tuum.
19You shall not lend on interest to your brother: interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest.
19Non fœnerabis fratri tuo ad usuram pecuniam, nec fruges, nec quamlibet aliam rem:
20You may charge a foreigner interest; but you shall not charge your brother 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.
20sed 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.
21When you 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.
21Cum votum voveris Domino Deo tuo, non tardabis reddere: quia requiret illud Dominus Deus tuus, et si moratus fueris, reputabitur tibi in peccatum.
22But if you refrain from making a vow, it shall be no sin in you.
22Si nolueris polliceri, absque peccato eris.
23You shall observe and do that which has gone out of your lips. Whatever you have vowed to the LORD your God as a free will offering, which you have promised with your mouth, you must do.
23Quod autem semel egressum est de labiis tuis, observabis, et facies sicut promisisti Domino Deo tuo, et propria voluntate et ore tuo locutus es.
24When you come into your neighbor’s vineyard, then you may eat your fill of grapes at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your container.
24Ingressus vineam proximi tui, comede uvas, quantum tibi placuerit: foras autem ne efferas tecum.
25When you come into your neighbor’s standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not use a sickle on your neighbor’s standing grain.
25Si intraveris in segetem amici tui, franges spicas, et manu conteres: falce autem non metes.
