DRC, VulgClementine, KJV - Exodus - 23

23:1  Thou shalt not receive the voice of a lie: neither shalt thou join thy hand to bear false witness for a wicked person.

23:1  Non suscipies vocem mendacii, nec junges manum tuam ut pro impio dicas falsum testimonium.

23:1  Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

23:2  Thou shalt not follow the multitude to do evil: neither shalt thou yield in judgment, to the opinion of the most part, to stray from the truth.

23:2  Non sequeris turbam ad faciendum malum : nec in judicio, plurimorum acquiesces sententiæ, ut a vero devies.

23:2  Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:

23:3  Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in judgment.

23:3  Pauperis quoque non misereberis in judicio.

23:3  Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.

23:4  If thou meet thy enemy's ox or ass going astray, bring it back to him.

23:4  Si occurreris bovi inimici tui, aut asino erranti, reduc ad eum.

23:4  If thou meet thine enemy’s ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.

23:5  If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lie underneath his burden, thou shalt not pass by, but shalt lift him up with him.

23:5  Si videris asinum odientis te jacere sub onere, non pertransibis, sed sublevabis cum eo.

23:5  If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.

23:6  Thou shalt not go aside in the poor man's judgment.

23:6  Non declinabis in judicium pauperis.

23:6  Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.

23:7  Thou shalt fly lying. The innocent and just person thou shalt not put to death: because I abhor the wicked.

23:7  Mendacium fugies. Insontem et justum non occides : quia aversor impium.

23:7  Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

23:8  Neither shalt thou take bribes, which even blind the wise, and pervert the words of the just.

23:8  Nec accipies munera, quæ etiam excæcant prudentes, et subvertunt verba justorum.

23:8  And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

23:9  Thou shalt not molest a stranger, for you know the hearts of strangers: for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.

23:9  Peregrino molestus non eris. Scitis enim advenarum animas : quia et ipsi peregrini fuistis in terra Ægypti.

23:9  Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

23:10  Six years thou shalt sow thy ground, and shalt gather the corn thereof.

23:10  Sex annis seminabis terram tuam, et congregabis fruges ejus :

23:10  And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:

23:11  But the seventh year thou shalt let it alone, and suffer it to rest, that the poor of thy people may eat, and whatsoever shall be left, let the beasts of the field eat it: so shalt thou do with thy vineyard and thy oliveyard.

23:11  anno autem septimo dimittes eam, et requiescere facies, ut comedant pauperes populi tui : et quidquid reliquum fuerit, edant bestiæ agri : ita facies in vinea et in oliveto tuo.

23:11  But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.

23:12  Six days thou shalt work: the seventh day thou shalt cease, that thy ox and thy ass may rest: and the son of thy handmaid and the stranger may be refreshed.

23:12  Sex diebus operaberis : septimo die cessabis, ut requiescat bos et asinus tuus, et refrigeretur filius ancillæ tuæ, et advena.

23:12  Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.

23:13  Keep all things that I have said to you. And by the name of strange gods you shall not swear, neither shall it be heard out of your mouth.

23:13  Omnia quæ dixi vobis, custodite. Et per nomen externorum deorum non jurabitis, neque audietur ex ore vestro.

23:13  And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

23:14  Three times every year you shall celebrate feasts to me.

23:14  Tribus vicibus per singulos annos mihi festa celebrabitis.

23:14  Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.

23:15  Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month of new corn, when thou didst come forth out of Egypt: thou shalt not appear empty before me.

23:15  Solemnitatem azymorum custodies. Septem diebus comedes azyma, sicut præcepi tibi, tempore mensis novorum, quando egressus es de Ægypto : non apparebis in conspectu meo vacuus.

23:15  Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)

23:16  And the feast of the harvest of the firstfruits of thy work, whatsoever thou hast sown in the field. The feast also in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in all thy corn out of the field.

23:16  Et solemnitatem messis primitivorum operis tui, quæcumque seminaveris in agro : solemnitatem quoque in exitu anni, quando congregaveris omnes fruges tuas de agro.

23:16  And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

23:17  Thrice a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God.

23:17  Ter in anno apparebit omne masculinum tuum coram Domino Deo tuo.

23:17  Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord God.

23:18  Thou shalt not sacrifice the blood of my victim upon leaven, neither shall the fat of my solemnity remain until the morning.

23:18  Non immolabis super fermento sanguinem victimæ meæ, nec remanebit adeps solemnitatis meæ usque mane.

23:18  Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.

23:19  Thou shalt carry the first-fruits of the corn of thy ground to the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his dam.

23:19  Primitias frugum terræ tuæ deferes in domum Domini Dei tui. Non coques hædum in lacte matris suæ.

23:19  The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.

23:20  Behold I will send my angel, who shall go before thee, and keep thee in thy journey, and bring thee into the place that I have prepared.

23:20  Ecce ego mittam angelum meum, qui præcedat te, et custodiat in via, et introducat in locum quem paravi.

23:20  Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

23:21  Take notice of him, and hear his voice, and do not think him one to be contemned: for he will not forgive when thou hast sinned, and my name is in him.

23:21  Observa eum, et audi vocem ejus, nec contemnendum putes : quia non dimittet cum peccaveris, et est nomen meum in illo.

23:21  Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

23:22  But if thou wilt hear hi voice, and do all that I speak, I will be an enemy to thy enemies, and will afflict them that afflict thee.

23:22  Quod si audieris vocem ejus, et feceris omnia quæ loquor, inimicus ero inimicis tuis, et affligam affligentes te.

23:22  But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

23:23  And my angel shall go before thee, and shall bring thee in unto the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherexite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hevite, and the Jebuzite, whom I will destroy.

23:23  Præcedetque te angelus meus, et introducet te ad Amorrhæum, et Hethæum, et Pherezæum, Chananæumque, et Hevæum, et Jebusæum, quos ego conteram.

23:23  For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.

23:24  Thou shalt not adore their gods, nor serve them. Thou shalt not do their works, but shalt destroy them, and break their statues.

23:24  Non adorabis deos eorum, nec coles eos : non facies opera eorum, sed destrues eos, et confringes statuas eorum.

23:24  Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.

23:25  And you shall serve the Lord your God, that I may bless your bread and your waters, and may take away sickness from the midst of thee.

23:25  Servietisque Domino Deo vestro, ut benedicam panibus tuis et aquis, et auferam infirmitatem de medio tui.

23:25  And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

23:26  There shall not be one fruitless nor barren in thy land: I will fill the number of thy days.

23:26  Non erit infœcunda, nec sterilis in terra tua : numerum dierum tuorum implebo.

23:26  There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

23:27  I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come: and will turn the backs of all thy enemies before thee:

23:27  Terrorem meum mittam in præcursum tuum, et occidam omnem populum, ad quem ingredieris : cunctorumque inimicorum tuorum coram te terga vertam :

23:27  I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.

23:28  Sending out hornets before, that shall drive away the Hevite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, before thou come in.

23:28  emittens crabrones prius, qui fugabunt Hevæum, et Chananæum, et Hethæum, antequam introëas.

23:28  And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

23:29  I will not cast them out from thy face in one year; lest the land be brought into a wilderness, and the beasts multiply against thee.

23:29  Non ejiciam eos a facie tua anno uno : ne terra in solitudinem redigatur, et crescant contra te bestiæ.

23:29  I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

23:30  By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, till thou be increased, and dost possess the land.

23:30  Paulatim expellam eos de conspectu tuo, donec augearis, et possideas terram.

23:30  By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

23:31  And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea to the sea of the Palestines, and from the desert to the river: I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hands, and will drive them out from before you.

23:31  Ponam autem terminos tuos a mari Rubro usque ad mare Palæstinorum, et a deserto usque ad fluvium : tradam in manibus vestris habitatores terræ, et ejiciam eos de conspectu vestro.

23:31  And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

23:32  Thou shalt not enter into league with them, nor with their gods.

23:32  Non inibis cum eis fœdus, nec cum diis eorum.

23:32  Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

23:33  Let them not dwell in thy land, lest perhaps they make thee sin against me, if thou serve their gods; which, undoubtedly, will be a scandal to thee.

23:33  Non habitent in terra tua, ne forte peccare te faciant in me, si servieris diis eorum : quod tibi certe erit in scandalum.

23:33  They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
