申23:4 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毗夺雇了比珥的儿子巴兰，来攻击你，咒诅你。
申23:4 Because they gave you no bread or water on your way, when you came out of Egypt: and they got Balaam, the son of Peor, from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to put curses on you.
申23:5 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。
申23:5 But the Lord your God would not give ear to Balaam, but let the curse be changed into a blessing to you, because of his love for you.

申23:9 When you go out to war and put your tents in position, keep from every evil thing.
申23:10 “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。
申23:10 If any man among you becomes unclean through anything which has taken place in the night, he is to go out from the tent-circle and keep outside it:
申23:11 到了黄昏的时候，他要用水洗澡；日落了，他才可以进入营中。
申23:11 But when evening comes near, let him take a bath: and after sundown he may come back to the tents.
申23:12 你在营外要有厕所，你可以出到那里去便溺。
申23:12 Let there be a place outside the tent-circle to which you may go;
申23:13 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。
申23:13 And have among your arms a spade; and when you have been to that place, let that which comes from you be covered up with earth:
申23:14 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。

申23:17 No daughter of Israel is to let herself be used as a loose woman for a strange god, and no son of Israel is to give himself to a man.
申23:18 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。
申23:18 Do not take into the house of the Lord your God, as an offering for an oath, the price of a loose woman or the money given to one used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: for these two things are disgusting to the Lord your God.
申23:19 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。
申23:19 Do not take interest from an Israelite on anything, money or food or any other goods, which you let him have:

申23:22 如果你不许愿，你倒没有罪。
申23:22 But if you take no oath, there will be no sin.
申23:23 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。
申23:23 Whatever your lips have said, see that you do it; for you gave your word freely to the Lord your God.
申23:24 “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。
申23:24 When you go into your neighbour's vine-garden, you may take of his grapes at your pleasure, but you may not take them away in your vessel.
申23:25 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。”
