Deuteronomy 23

The Message Bible MSG

1 No eunuch is to enter the congregation of God.

2 No bastard is to enter the congregation of God, even to the tenth generation, nor any of his children.

3 No Ammonite or Moabite is to enter the congregation of God, even to the tenth generation, nor any of his children, ever.

4 Those nations didn't treat you with hospitality on your travels out of Egypt, and on top of that they also hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Mesopotamia to curse you

5 God, your God, refused to listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a blessing - how God, your God, loves you!

6 Don't even try to get along with them or do anything for them, ever.

7 But don't spurn an Edomite; he's your kin. And don't spurn an Egyptian; you were a foreigner in his land.

8 Children born to Edomites and Egyptians may enter the congregation of God in the third generation.

9 When you are camped out, at war with your enemies, be careful to keep yourself from anything ritually defiling.

10 If one of your men has become ritually unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he must go outside the camp and stay there

11 until evening when he can wash himself, returning to the camp at sunset.

12 Mark out an area outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourselves.

13 Along with your weapons have a stick with you. After you relieve yourself, dig a hole with the stick and cover your excrement.

14 God, your God, strolls through your camp; he's present to deliver you and give you victory over your enemies. Keep your camp holy; don't permit anything indecent or offensive in God's eyes

15 Don't return a runaway slave to his master; he's come to you for refuge.

16 Let him live wherever he wishes within the protective gates of your city. Don't take advantage of him.

17 No daughter of Israel is to become a sacred prostitute; and no son of Israel is to become a sacred prostitute.

18 And don't bring the fee of a sacred whore or the earnings of a priest-pimp to the house of God, your God, to pay for any vow - they are both an abomination to God, your God.

19 Don't charge interest to your kinsmen on any loan: not for money or food or clothing or anything else that could earn interest

20 You may charge foreigners interest, but you may not charge your brothers interest; that way God, your God, will bless all the work that you take up and the land that you are entering to possess.

21 When you make a vow to God, your God, don't put off keeping it; God, your God, expects you to keep it and if you don't you're guilty

22 But if you don't make a vow in the first place, there's no sin.

23 If you say you're going to do something, do it. Keep the vow you willingly vowed to God, your God. You promised it, so do it.

24 When you enter your neighbor's vineyard, you may eat all the grapes you want until you're full, but you may not put any in your bucket or bag.

25 And when you walk through the ripe grain of your neighbor, you may pick the heads of grain, but you may not swing your sickle there.

1 non intrabit eunuchus adtritis vel amputatis testiculis et absciso veretro ecclesiam Domini

2 non ingredietur mamzer hoc est de scorto natus in ecclesiam Domini usque ad decimam generationem

3 Ammanites et Moabites etiam post decimam generationem non intrabunt ecclesiam Domini in aeternum

4 quia noluerunt vobis occurrere cum pane et aqua in via quando egressi estis de Aegypto et quia conduxerunt contra te Balaam filium Beor de Mesopotamiam Syriae ut malediceret tib

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

6 non facies cum eis pacem nec quaeres eis bona cunctis diebus vitae tuae in sempiternum

7 non abominaberis Idumeum quia frater tuus est nec Aegyptium quia advena fuisti in terra eius

8 qui nati fuerint ex eis tertia generatione intrabunt ecclesiam Domini

9 quando egressus fueris adversus hostes tuos in pugnam custodies te ab omni re mala

10 si fuerit inter vos homo qui nocturno pollutus sit somnio egredietur extra castra

11 et non revertetur priusquam ad vesperam lavetur aqua et post solis occasum regredietur in castra

12 habebis locum extra castra ad quem egrediaris ad requisita naturae

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

14 quo relevatus es Dominus enim Deus tuus ambulat in medio castrorum ut eruat te et tradat tibi inimicos tuos ut sint castra tua sancta et nihil in eis appareat foeditatis nec derelinquat t

15 non trades servum domino suo qui ad te confugerit

16 habitabit tecum in loco qui ei placuerit et in una urbium tuarum requiescet nec contristes eum

17 non erit meretrix de filiabus Israhel neque scortator de filiis Israhel

18 non offeres mercedem prostibuli nec pretium canis in domum Domini Dei tui quicquid illud est quod voverint quia abominatio est utrumque apud Dominum Deum tuum

19 non fenerabis fratri tuo ad usuram pecuniam nec fruges nec quamlibet aliam re

20 sed alieno fratri autem tuo absque usura id quod indiget commodabis ut benedicat tibi Dominus Deus tuus in omni opere tuo in terra ad quam ingredieris possidendam

21 cum voveris votum Domino Deo tuo non tardabis reddere quia requiret illud Dominus Deus tuus et si moratus fueris reputabit tibi in peccatu

22 si nolueris polliceri absque peccato eris

23 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 ingressus vineam proximi tui comede uvas quantum tibi placuerit foras autem ne efferas tecum

25 si intraveris in segetem amici tui franges spicas et manu conteres falce autem non metes
