誣告新婦的案件

¹³「人若娶妻，與她同房之後恨惡她，Suppose a man marries a woman, has relations with her, and comes to hate her,

¹⁴信口說她，將醜名加在她身上，說：『我娶了這女子，與她同房，見她沒有貞潔的憑據』；and he then accuses her of shameful conduct and gives her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman and had relations with her, but I discovered she was not a virgin.”

¹⁵女子的父母就要把女子貞潔的憑據拿出來，帶到本城門長老那裡。Then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring the proof of her virginity to the city elders at the gate

¹⁶女子的父親要對長老說：『我將我的女兒給這人為妻，他恨惡她，and say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he has come to hate her.

¹⁷信口說她，說：我見你的女兒沒有貞潔的憑據；其實這就是我女兒貞潔的憑據。』父母就把那布鋪在本城的長老面前。And now he has accused her of shameful conduct, saying, ‘I discovered that your daughter was not a virgin.’ But here is the proof of her virginity.” And they shall spread out the cloth before the city elders.

¹⁸本城的長老要拿住那人，懲治他，Then the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him.

¹⁹並要罰他一百舍客勒銀子，給女子的父親，因為他將醜名加在以色列的一個處女身上。女子仍作他的妻，終身不可休她。They are also to fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given a virgin of Israel a bad name. And she shall remain his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.

²⁰但這事若是真的，女子沒有貞潔的憑據，If, however, this accusation is true, and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found,

²¹就要將女子帶到她父家的門口，本城的人要用石頭將她打死；因為她在父家行了淫亂，在以色列中做了醜事。這樣，就把那惡從你們中間除掉。she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house, and there the men of her city will stone her to death. For she has committed an outrage in Israel by being promiscuous in her father’s house. So you must purge the evil from among you.

姦淫與亂倫的禁令

²²「若遇見人與有丈夫的婦人行淫，就要將姦夫淫婦一併治死。這樣，就把那惡從以色列中除掉。If a man is found lying with another man’s wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.

²³「若有處女已經許配丈夫，有人在城裡遇見她，與她行淫，If there is a virgin pledged in marriage to a man, and another man encounters her in the city and sleeps with her,

²⁴你們就要把這二人帶到本城門，用石頭打死─女子是因為雖在城裡卻沒有喊叫；男子是因為玷污別人的妻。這樣，就把那惡從你們中間除掉。you must take both of them out to the gate of that city and stone them to death—the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he has violated his neighbor’s wife. So you must purge the evil from among you.

²⁵「若有男子在田野遇見已經許配人的女子，強與她行淫，只要將那男子治死。But if the man encounters a betrothed woman in the open country, and he overpowers her and lies with her, only the man who has done this must die.

²⁶但不可辦女子；她本沒有該死的罪，這事就類乎人起來攻擊鄰舍，將他殺了一樣。Do nothing to the young woman, because she has committed no sin worthy of death. This case is just like one in which a man attacks his neighbor and murders him.

²⁷因為男子是在田野遇見那已經許配人的女子，女子喊叫，並無人救她。When he found her in the field, the betrothed woman cried out, but there was no one to save her.

²⁸「若有男子遇見沒有許配人的處女，抓住她，與她行淫，被人看見，If a man encounters a virgin who is not pledged in marriage, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered,

²⁹這男子就要拿五十舍客勒銀子給女子的父親；因他玷污了這女子，就要娶她為妻，終身不可休她。then the man who lay with her must pay the young woman’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she must become his wife because he has violated her. He must not divorce her as long as he lives.

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。No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even to the tenth generation.

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毘奪人比珥的兒子巴蘭來咒詛你們。For they did not meet you with food and water on your way out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to curse you.

⁵然而耶和華─你的　神不肯聽從巴蘭，卻使那咒詛的言語變為祝福的話，因為耶和華─你的　神愛你。Yet the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam, and the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you.

⁶你一生一世永不可求他們的平安和他們的利益。You are not to seek peace or prosperity from them as long as you live.

⁷「不可憎惡以東人，因為他是你的弟兄。不可憎惡埃及人，因為你在他的地上作過寄居的。Do not despise an Edomite, for he is your brother. Do not despise an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.

⁸他們第三代子孫可以入耶和華的會。」The third generation of children born to them may enter the assembly of the LORD.

營中要保持聖潔

⁹「你出兵攻打仇敵，就要遠避諸惡。When you are encamped against your enemies, then you shall keep yourself from every wicked thing.

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；If any man among you becomes unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he must leave the camp and stay outside.

¹¹到傍晚的時候，他要用水洗澡，及至日落了才可以入營。When evening approaches, he must wash with water, and when the sun sets he may return to the camp.

¹²「你在營外也該定出一個地方作為便所。You must have a place outside the camp to go and relieve yourself.

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。And you must have a digging tool in your equipment so that when you relieve yourself you can dig a hole and cover up your excrement.

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，免得他見你那裡有污穢，就離開你。」For the LORD your God walks throughout your camp to protect you and deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, lest He see anything unclean among you and turn away from you.

不可交出逃來的奴僕

¹⁵「若有奴僕脫了主人的手，逃到你那裡，你不可將他交付他的主人。Do not return a slave to his master if he has taken refuge with you.

不可有妓女和孌童

¹⁷「以色列的女子中不可有妓女；以色列的男子中不可有孌童。No daughter or son of Israel is to be a shrine prostitute.

¹⁸娼妓所得的錢，或孌童（原文是狗）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。You must not bring the wages of a prostitute, whether female or male, into the house of the LORD your God to fulfill any vow, because both are detestable to the LORD your God.

不可向弟兄取利；許願要還

¹⁹「你借給你弟兄的，或是錢財或是糧食，無論甚麼可生利的物，都不可取利。Do not charge your brother interest on money, food, or any other type of loan.

²⁰借給外邦人可以取利，只是借給你弟兄不可取利。這樣，耶和華─你　神必在你所去得為業的地上和你手裡所辦的一切事上賜福與你。You may charge a foreigner interest, but not your brother, so that the LORD your God may bless you in everything to which you put your hand in the land that you are entering to possess.

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。If you make a vow to the LORD your God, do not be slow to keep it, because He will surely require it of you, and you will be guilty of sin.

²²你若不許願，倒無罪。But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty of sin.

²³你嘴裡所出的，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。Be careful to follow through on what comes from your lips, because you have freely vowed to the LORD your God with your own mouth.

⁴打發她去的前夫不可在婦人玷污之後再娶她為妻，因為這是耶和華所憎惡的；不可使耶和華─你　神所賜為業之地被玷污了。」then the husband who divorced her first may not remarry her after she has been defiled, for that is an abomination to the LORD. You must not bring sin upon the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
