The Bible in Basic English BBE
The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Do not let a false statement go further; do not make an agreement with evil-doers to be a false witness.
1
non suscipies vocem mendacii nec iunges manum tuam ut pro impio dicas falsum testimonium
2 Do not be moved to do wrong by the general opinion, or give the support of your words to a wrong decision:
2
non sequeris turbam ad faciendum malum nec in iudicio plurimorum adquiesces sententiae ut a vero devies
3 But, on the other hand, do not be turned from what is right in order to give support to a poor man's cause.
3
pauperis quoque non misereberis in negotio
4 If you come across the ox or the ass of one who is no friend to you wandering from its way, you are to take it back to him
4
si occurreris bovi inimici tui aut asino erranti reduc ad eu
5 If you see the ass of one who has no love for you bent down to the earth under the weight which is put on it, you are to come to its help, even against your desire.
5
si videris asinum odientis te iacere sub onere non pertransibis sed sublevabis cum eo
6 Let no wrong decisions be given in the poor man's cause.
6
non declinabis in iudicio pauperis
7 Keep yourselves far from any false business; never let the upright or him who has done no wrong be put to death: for I will make the evil-doer responsible for his sin.
7
mendacium fugies insontem et iustum non occides quia aversor impium
8 Take no rewards in a cause: for rewards make blind those who have eyes to see, and make the decisions of the upright false.
8
nec accipias munera quae excaecant etiam prudentes et subvertunt verba iustorum
9 Do not be hard on the man from a strange country who is living among you; for you have had experience of the feelings of one who is far from the land of his birth, because you yourselves were living in Egypt, in a strange land.
9
peregrino molestus non eris scitis enim advenarum animas quia et ipsi peregrini fuistis in terra Aegypti
10 For six years put seed into your fields and get in the increase;
10
sex annis seminabis terram tuam et congregabis fruges eius
11 But in the seventh year let the land have a rest and be unplanted; so that the poor may have food from it: and let the beasts of the field take the rest. Do the same with your vine-gardens and your olive-trees.
11
anno autem septimo dimittes eam et requiescere facies ut comedant pauperes populi tui et quicquid reliqui fuerit edant bestiae agri ita facies in vinea et in oliveto tuo
12 For six days do your work, and on the seventh day keep the Sabbath; so that your ox and your ass may have rest, together with the son of your servant and the man from a strange land living among you.
12
sex diebus operaberis septima die cessabis ut requiescat bos et asinus tuus et refrigeretur filius ancillae tuae et advena
13 Take note of all these things which I have said to you, and let not the names of other gods come into your minds or from your lips.
13
omnia quae dixi vobis custodite et per nomen externorum deorum non iurabitis neque audietur ex ore vestro
14 Three times in the year you are to keep a feast to me
14
tribus vicibus per singulos annos mihi festa celebrabiti
15 You are to keep the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days let your bread be without leaven, as I gave you orders, at the regular time in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt); and let no one come before me without an offering:
15
sollemnitatem azymorum custodies septem diebus comedes azyma sicut praecepi tibi tempore mensis novorum quando egressus es de Aegypto non apparebis in conspectu meo vacuus
16 And the feast of the grain-cutting, the first-fruits of your planted fields: and the feast at the start of the year, when you have got in all the fruit from your fields.
16
et sollemnitatem messis primitivorum operis tui quaecumque serueris in agro sollemnitatem quoque in exitu anni quando congregaveris omnes fruges tuas de agro
17 Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord God.
17
ter in anno apparebit omne masculinum tuum coram Domino Deo
18 Do not give the blood of my offering with leavened bread; and do not let the fat of my feast be kept all night till the morning.
18
non immolabis super fermento sanguinem victimae meae nec remanebit adeps sollemnitatis meae usque mane
19 The best of the first-fruits of your land are to be taken into the house of the Lord your God. The young goat is not to be cooked in its mother's milk
19
primitias frugum terrae tuae deferes in domum Domini Dei tui nec coques hedum in lacte matris sua
20 See, I am sending an angel before you, to keep you on your way and to be your guide into the place which I have made ready for you.
20
ecce ego mittam angelum meum qui praecedat te et custodiat in via et introducat ad locum quem paravi
21 Give attention to him and give ear to his voice; do not go against him; for your wrongdoing will not be overlooked by him, because my name is in him
21
observa eum et audi vocem eius nec contemnendum putes quia non dimittet cum peccaveritis et est nomen meum in ill
22 But if you truly give ear to his voice, and do whatever I say, then I will be against those who are against you, fighting those who are fighting you.
22
quod si audieris vocem eius et feceris omnia quae loquor inimicus ero inimicis tuis et adfligam adfligentes te
23 And my angel will go before you, guiding you into the land of the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Canaanite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, and they will be cut off by my hand.
23
praecedetque te angelus meus et introducet te ad Amorreum et Hettheum et Ferezeum Chananeumque et Eveum et Iebuseum quos ego contribo
24 Do not go down on your faces and give worship to their gods, or do as they do; but overcome them completely, and let their pillars be broken down.
24
non adorabis deos eorum nec coles eos non facies opera eorum sed destrues eos et confringes statuas eorum
25 And give worship to the Lord your God, who will send his blessing on your bread and on your water; and I will take all disease away from among you.
25
servietisque Domino Deo vestro ut benedicam panibus tuis et aquis et auferam infirmitatem de medio tui
26 All your animals will give birth without loss, not one will be without young in all your land; I will give you a full measure of life.
26
non erit infecunda nec sterilis in terra tua numerum dierum tuorum implebo
27 I will send my fear before you, putting to flight all the people to whom you come; all those who are against you will go in flight, turning their backs before you.
27
terrorem meum mittam in praecursum tuum et occidam omnem populum ad quem ingredieris cunctorumque inimicorum tuorum coram te terga vertam
28 I will send hornets before you, driving out the Hivite and the Canaanite and the Hittite before your face.
28
emittens crabrones prius qui fugabunt Eveum et Chananeum et Hettheum antequam introeas
29 I will not send them all out in one year, for fear that their land may become waste, and the beasts of the field be increased overmuch against you.
29
non eiciam eos a facie tua anno uno ne terra in solitudinem redigatur et crescant contra te bestiae
30 Little by little I will send them away before you, till your numbers are increased and you take up your heritage in the land.
30
paulatim expellam eos de conspectu tuo donec augearis et possideas terram
31 I will let the limits of your land be from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the waste land to the river Euphrates: for I will give the people of those lands into your power; and you will send them out before you.
31
ponam autem terminos tuos a mari Rubro usque ad mare Palestinorum et a deserto usque ad Fluvium tradam manibus vestris habitatores terrae et eiciam eos de conspectu vestro
32 Make no agreement with them or with their gods.
32
non inibis cum eis foedus nec cum diis eorum
33 Let them not go on living in your land, or they will make you do evil against me: for if you give worship to their gods, it will certainly be a cause of sin to you.
33
non habitent in terra tua ne forte peccare te faciant in me si servieris diis eorum quod tibi certo erit in scandalum
