申命記 23
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
會眾的資格
23 「凡睪丸受損或被閹割的,不可加入耶和華的會眾。
2 「私生子及其十代以內的子孫都不可加入耶和華的會眾。
3 「亞捫人或摩押人及其十代以內的子孫都不可加入耶和華的會眾。 4 因為在你們離開埃及的途中,他們沒有用水和食物款待你們,還雇用美索不達米亞的毗奪人——比珥的兒子巴蘭咒詛你們。 5 但你們的上帝耶和華不聽巴蘭的話,反而把咒詛變為祝福,因為祂愛你們。 6 你們一生一世永不可為他們謀求平安和好處。
7 「不可憎惡以東人,因為他們是你們的弟兄;也不可憎惡埃及人,因為你們曾經在埃及寄居。 8 他們的第三代子孫可以加入耶和華的會眾。
保持軍營聖潔的條例
9 「你們出兵征戰時,一定要遠離惡事。 10 如果有人因夢遺而不潔淨,他就要離開營地住在營外。 11 傍晚他要沐浴,日落才可以回營。 12 要在營外指定一個地方作方便之處。 13 你們每人都要有一把鏟子,便溺時要挖個洞,事後要掩埋。 14 因為你們的上帝耶和華常在營中巡視,要保護你們,擊敗你們的仇敵。軍營必須保持聖潔,免得祂在你們中間看到任何污穢之事,便離開你們。
其他條例
15 「如果有奴隸逃到你們那裡避難,不可把逃亡的奴隸送交他們的主人。 16 要讓他們在你們當中選擇他們喜歡的城邑與你們同住,不可壓迫他們。
17 「任何以色列人,不論男女,都不可做廟妓。 18 不可把男女廟妓的收入帶到你們上帝耶和華的殿還願,因為你們的上帝耶和華憎惡他們。
19 「你們借給同胞錢、糧食或其他任何東西,都不可收取利息。 20 你們可以向外族人收取利息,但不可向同胞收取。這樣,在你們將要佔領的土地上,你們的上帝耶和華必使你們凡事蒙福。
21 「如果你們向你們的上帝耶和華許願,不可遲遲不還願,因為你們的上帝耶和華必追討許願不還的罪。 22 如果你們不許願,反倒無罪; 23 但如果你們親口許了願,一定要向你們的上帝耶和華信守諾言。
24 「如果你們進了鄰居的葡萄園,可以隨意吃,但不可把葡萄放在籃子裡帶走。 25 如果你們進了鄰居的麥田,可以用手摘麥穗,但不可用鐮刀割麥子。
申命记 23
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
不得进耶和华的会的人
23 “睾丸受伤的,或生殖器被割除的,不可进耶和华的会。(本节在《马索拉文本》为23:2) 2 私生子不可进耶和华的会;他的后代直到第十代,也不可进耶和华的会。 3 亚扪人或摩押人不可进耶和华的会;他们的后代直到第十代,也永远不可进耶和华的会。 4 因为你们出埃及的时候,他们没有拿食物和水在路上迎接你们,又因为他们从两河之间的亚兰的毘夺雇了比珥的儿子巴兰,来攻击你,咒诅你。 5 但耶和华你的 神不愿听从巴兰;耶和华你的 神使咒诅的话变为你的祝福,因为耶和华你的 神爱你。 6 你一生一世永不可寻求他们的平安和他们的福乐。
7 “你不可厌恶以东人,因为他是你的兄弟;不可厌恶埃及人,因为你在他的地上作过寄居的。 8 他们所生的子孙到了第三代,就可以进耶和华的会。
9 “你出兵安营攻打仇敌的时候,要谨守自己,远避一切恶事。
保持军营洁净的条例
10 “如果你们中间有人因为夜间偶然梦遗而不洁净,就要出到营外去,不可进入营中。 11 到了黄昏的时候,他要用水洗澡;日落了,他才可以进入营中。 12 你在营外要有厕所,你可以出到那里去便溺。 13 在你的器械中,要有一把锹;你在外面便溺以后,可以用来铲土,转身把粪便掩盖。 14 因为耶和华你的 神常在你的营中行走,要拯救你,要把你的仇敌交在你的面前;所以你的营要圣洁,免得他看见你那里有污秽的东西,就离开你。
其他各种条例
15 “如果一个奴仆离开了他的主人,逃到你那里来,你不可把他送交他的主人。 16 他要在你中间和你同住,住在他自己选择的地方,住在他喜欢的城市,你不可欺负他。
17 “以色列的女子中不可有庙妓,以色列的男子中不可有男庙妓。 18 妓女所得的酬金,或男妓所得的代价,你不可带入耶和华你的 神的殿里还任何的愿,因为这两样都是耶和华你的 神厌恶的。 19 你借给你兄弟的银钱、食物,或是任何可以生利的东西,都不可取利。 20 借给外族人,你倒可以取利;只是借给你的兄弟,你就不可取利;好使耶和华你的 神,在你要去得为业的地上,和你手里所办的一切事上,赐福给你。
21 “如果你向耶和华你的 神许了愿,就不可迟延还愿,因为耶和华你的 神必向你追讨,那时你就有罪了。 22 如果你不许愿,你倒没有罪。 23 你嘴里说出来的,你要谨守;你亲口应许的甘心祭,就是你向耶和华你的 神许的愿,你要实行。
24 “你进了你邻舍的葡萄园,你可以随意吃饱葡萄,只是不可装在你的器皿里。 25 你进了你邻舍的麦田,你可以用手摘麦穗,只是不可在你邻舍的麦田里挥动镰刀。”
Deuteronomy 23
New King James Version
Those Excluded from the Congregation
23 “He who is emasculated by crushing or mutilation shall (A)not enter the assembly of the Lord.
2 “One of illegitimate birth shall not enter the assembly of the Lord; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the Lord.
3 (B)“An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter the assembly of the Lord; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the Lord forever, 4 (C)because they did not meet you with bread and water on the road when you came out of Egypt, and (D)because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of [a]Mesopotamia, to curse you. 5 Nevertheless the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam, but the Lord your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God (E)loves you. 6 (F)You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
7 “You shall not abhor an Edomite, (G)for he is your brother. You shall not abhor an Egyptian, because (H)you were an alien in his land. 8 The children of the third generation born to them may enter the assembly of the Lord.
Cleanliness of the Campsite
9 “When the army goes out against your enemies, then keep yourself from every wicked thing. 10 (I)If there is any man among you who becomes unclean by some occurrence in the night, then he shall go outside the camp; he shall not come inside the camp. 11 But it shall be, when evening comes, that (J)he shall wash with water; and when the sun sets, he may come into the camp.
12 “Also you shall have a place outside the camp, where you may go out; 13 and you shall have an implement among your equipment, and when you sit down outside, you shall dig with it and turn and cover your refuse. 14 For the Lord your God (K)walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and give your enemies over to you; therefore your camp shall be holy, that He may see no unclean thing among you, and turn away from you.
Miscellaneous Laws
15 (L)“You shall not give back to his master the slave who has escaped from his master to you. 16 He may dwell with you in your midst, in the place which he chooses within one of your gates, where it [b]seems best to him; (M)you shall not oppress him.
17 “There shall be no ritual [c]harlot (N)of the daughters of Israel, or a (O)perverted[d] one of the sons of Israel. 18 You shall not bring the wages of a harlot or the price of a dog to the house of the Lord your God for any vowed offering, for both of these are [e]an abomination to the Lord your God.
19 (P)“You shall not charge interest to your brother—interest on money or food or anything that is lent out at interest. 20 (Q)To a foreigner you may charge interest, but to your brother you shall not charge interest, (R)that the Lord your God may bless you in all to which you set your hand in the land which you are entering to possess.
21 (S)“When you make a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay to pay it; for the Lord your God will surely require it of you, and it would be sin to you. 22 But if you abstain from vowing, it shall not be sin to you. 23 (T)That which has gone from your lips you shall keep and perform, for you voluntarily vowed to the Lord your God what you have promised with your mouth.
24 “When you come into your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat your fill of grapes at your pleasure, but you shall not put any in your container. 25 When you come into your neighbor’s standing grain, (U)you may pluck the heads with your hand, but you shall not use a sickle on your neighbor’s standing grain.

New International Version
Exclusion From the Assembly
23 [a]No one who has been emasculated(A) by crushing or cutting may enter the assembly of the Lord.
2 No one born of a forbidden marriage[b] nor any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord, not even in the tenth generation.
3 No Ammonite(B) or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord, not even in the tenth generation.(C) 4 For they did not come to meet you with bread and water(D) on your way when you came out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam(E) son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharaim[c](F) to pronounce a curse on you.(G) 5 However, the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse(H) into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves(I) you. 6 Do not seek a treaty(J) of friendship with them as long as you live.(K)
7 Do not despise an Edomite,(L) for the Edomites are related to you.(M) Do not despise an Egyptian, because you resided as foreigners in their country.(N) 8 The third generation of children born to them may enter the assembly of the Lord.
Uncleanness in the Camp
9 When you are encamped against your enemies, keep away from everything impure.(O) 10 If one of your men is unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he is to go outside the camp and stay there.(P) 11 But as evening approaches he is to wash himself, and at sunset(Q) he may return to the camp.(R)
12 Designate a place outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself. 13 As part of your equipment have something to dig with, and when you relieve yourself, dig a hole and cover up your excrement. 14 For the Lord your God moves(S) about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy,(T) so that he will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you.
Miscellaneous Laws
15 If a slave has taken refuge(U) with you, do not hand them over to their master.(V) 16 Let them live among you wherever they like and in whatever town they choose. Do not oppress(W) them.
17 No Israelite man(X) or woman is to become a shrine prostitute.(Y) 18 You must not bring the earnings of a female prostitute or of a male prostitute[d] into the house of the Lord your God to pay any vow, because the Lord your God detests them both.(Z)
19 Do not charge a fellow Israelite interest, whether on money or food or anything else that may earn interest.(AA) 20 You may charge a foreigner(AB) interest, but not a fellow Israelite, so that the Lord your God may bless(AC) you in everything you put your hand to in the land you are entering to possess.
21 If you make a vow to the Lord your God, do not be slow to pay it,(AD) for the Lord your God will certainly demand it of you and you will be guilty of sin.(AE) 22 But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty.(AF) 23 Whatever your lips utter you must be sure to do, because you made your vow freely to the Lord your God with your own mouth.
24 If you enter your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat all the grapes you want, but do not put any in your basket. 25 If you enter your neighbor’s grainfield, you may pick kernels with your hands, but you must not put a sickle to their standing grain.(AG)
