Humanity towards neighbours. Neither sex may use the apparel of the other. Cruelty to be avoided even to birds. Battlements about the roof of a house. Things of divers kinds not to be mixed. The punishment of him that slandereth his wife, as also of adultery and rape.

1Thou shalt not pass by if thou seest thy brother’s ox, or his sheep go astray: but thou shalt bring them back to thy brother.Se vedrai il bue, o la pecora del tuo fratello smarriti, non tirerai avanti la tua strada, ma li ricondurrai al tuo fratello.THOV shalt not see thy brothers oxe, or sheepe straying, and passe by: but shalt bring it backe to thy brother,Non videbis bovem fratris tui, aut ovem errantem, et præteribis: sed reduces fratri tuo, 2And if thy brother be not nigh, or thou know him not: thou shalt bring them to thy house, and they shall be with thee until thy brother seek them, and receive them.Benché questo fratello non sia tuo parente, e tu nol conosca, li menerai a casa tua, e li terrai presso di te, fino a tanto che il tuo fratello li ricerchi, e li riprenda.although thy brother be not nigh, and thou know him not: thou shalt bring them vnto thy house, and they shal be with thee vntil thy brother seeke them, and receiue them.etiamsi non est propinquus frater tuus, nec nosti eum: duces in domum tuam, et erunt apud te quamdiu quærat ea frater tuus, et recipiat. 3Thou shalt do in like manner with his ass, and with his raiment, and with every thing that is thy brother’s, which is lost: if thou find it, neglect it not as pertaining to another.Lo stesso farai di un asino, e d'una veste, e di qualunque cosa perduta dal tuo fratello: se la troverai, non la trascurare, perché sia cosa d'altri.In like manner shalt thou doe with his asse, and with his rayment, and with euerie thing of thy brothers, that shal be lost: if thou finde it, neglect it nor as perteyning to an other.Similiter facies de asino, et de vestimento, et de omni re fratris tui, quæ perierit: si inveneris eam, ne negligas quasi alienam. 4If thou see thy brother’s ass or his ox to be fallen down in the way, thou shalt not slight it, but shalt lift it up with him.Se vedrai l'asino, o il bue del tuo fratello caduti per istrada, non metterai ciò in non cale, ma gli darai mano a rizzarli.If thou see thy brothers asse or oxe to be fallen in the way, thou shalt not contemne it, but shalt list it vp with him.Si videris asinum fratris tui aut bovem cecidisse in via, non despicies, sed sublevabis cum eo. 5A woman shall not be clothed with man’s apparel, neither shall a man use woman’s apparel: for he that doth these things is abominable before God.La donna non si vestirà da uomo, né l'uomo da donna: conciossiaché è in abbominazione a Dio chi fa tali cose.A woman shal not be clothed with mans apparel, neither shal a man vse womans apparel: for he is abominable before God that doeth these thinges.Non induetur mulier veste virili, nec vir utetur veste feminea: abominabilis enim apud Deum est qui facit hæc.

6If thou find as thou walkest by the way, a bird’s nest in a tree, or on the ground, and the dam sitting upon the young or upon the eggs: thou shalt not take her with her young:Se facendo viaggio trovi in terra, o sopra un albero un nido di uccello, e la madre, che cova i pulcini, o le ova, non la prenderai insieme co' figli:If walking by the way thou finde a birdes nest in a tree or on the ground, and the damme sitting vpon the young or the egges: thou shalt not hold her with her young,Si ambulans per viam, in arbore vel in terra nidum avis inveneris, et matrem pullis vel ovis desuper incubantem: non tenebis eam cum filiis, 7But shalt let her go, keeping the young which thou hast caught: that it may be well with thee, and thou mayst live a long time.Ma la lascerai andare, tenendoti i figli presi, affinché tu sii prosperato, e viva per lungo tempo.but shalt let her goe, taking the young and holding them: that it may be wel with thee, and thou mayest liue a long time.sed abire patieris, captos tenens filios: ut bene sit tibi, et longo vivas tempore. 8When thou buildest a new house, thou shalt make a battlement to the roof round about: lest blood be shed in thy house, and thou be guilty, if any one slip, and fall down headlong.Quando edificherai una nuova casa, farai un muricciuolo intorno al tetto: affinché non segua spargimento di sangue in tua casa, e tu non sii reo della caduta, e del precipizio di un altro.When thou buildest a new house, thou shalt make a batlement to the roofe round about: lest bloud be shed in thy house, and thou be guiltie an other slipping, and falling headlong.Cum ædificaveris domum novam, facies murum tecti per circuitum: ne effundatur sanguis in domo tua, et sis reus labente alio, et in præceps ruente. 9Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest both the seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of the vineyard, be sanctified together.Non seminerai nella tua vigna due sorte di semenza, affinché e il seme gettato da te, e quello che nasce dalla vigna, non sia immondo tutto egualmente.Thou shalt not sowe thy vineyard with diuerse seede: lest both the seede which thou didst sow, and the thinges that grow of the vineyard, be sanctisied rogether.Non seres vineam tuam altero semine: ne et sementis quam sevisti, et quæ nascuntur ex vinea, pariter sanctificentur. 10Thou shalt not plough with an ox and an ass together.Non arerai con un bue, e un asino.Thou shalt not plough with an oxe and asse together.Non arabis in bove simul et asino.

11Thou shalt not wear a garment that is woven of woollen and linen together.Non ti vestirai di veste tessuta di lino, e di lana.Thou shalt not weare a garment that is wouen of wolle and linnen.Non indueris vestimento, quod ex lana linoque contextum est. 12Thou shalt make strings in the hem at the four corners of thy cloak, wherewith thou shalt be covered.Tu metterai a' quattro angoli del pallio, col quale ti cuopri, delle frange fatte di cordicelle.Thou shalt make litle cordes in the hemme at the foure corners of thy cloke, wherwith thou shalt be couered.Funiculos in fimbriis facies per quatuor angulos pallii tui, quo operieris. 13If a man marry a wife, and afterwards hate her,Se un uomo avendo sposata una donna poscia la prende in odio,If a man marrie a wife, and afterward hate her,Si duxerit vir uxorem, et postea odio habuerit eam, 14And seek occasions to put her away, laying to her charge a very ill name, and say: I took this woman to wife, and going in to her, I found her not a virgin:E cerca pretesti per ripudiarla, e le rinfaccia un pessimo delitto dicendo: Ho preso per moglie costei, e accostatomi ad essa non la ho trovata vergine:and seeke occasions to put her away, obiecting vnto her a verie il name, and say: I tooke this wife, and compayning with her: I found her not a virgin:quæsieritque occasiones quibus dimittat eam, objiciens ei nomen pessimum, et dixerit: Uxorem hanc accepi, et ingressus ad eam non inveni virginem: 15Her father and mother shall take her, and shall bring with them the tokens of her virginity to the ancients of the city that are in the gate:La prenderanno seco il padre e la madre di lei, e porteranno seco le prove della sua verginità davanti a' seniori della città, che stanno alla porta:her father and mother shal take her, and shal carie with them the signes of her virginitie to the ancientes of the citie that are in the gate:tollent eam pater et mater ejus, et ferent secum signa virginitatis ejus ad seniores urbis qui in porta sunt: 16And the father shall say: I gave my daughter unto this man to wife: and because he hateth her,E il padre dirà: Ho data per moglie a costui la mia figlia: e perché egli la odia,and the father shal say: I gaue my daughter vnto this man to wife: whom because he hateth,et dicet pater: Filiam meam dedi huic uxorem: quam quia odit, 17He layeth to her charge a very ill name, so as to say: I found not thy daughter a virgin: and behold these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the ancients of the city:Le imputa un delitto pessimo, arrivando a dire: Non ho trovata vergine la tua figliuola; or ecco le prove della verginità di mia figlia: spiegheranno il lenzuolo dinanzi a' seniori della città:he layeth vnto her a verie il name, so that he sayeth: I found not thy daughter a virgin: and behold these are the signes of my daughters virginitie. they shal spread the vesture before the ancientes of the citie:imponit ei nomen pessimum, ut dicat: Non inveni filiam tuam virginem: et ecce hæc sunt signa virginitatis filiæ meæ. Expandent vestimentum coram senioribus civitatis:

18And the ancients of that city shall take that man, and beat him,E i seniori della città faranno prendere il marito, e lo faranno frustare,and the ancientes of that citie shal take the man, and beate him,apprehendentque senes urbis illius virum, et verberabunt illum, 19Condemning him besides in a hundred sicles of silver, which he shall give to the damsel’s father, because he hath defamed by a very ill name a virgin of Israel: and he shall have her to wife, and may not put her away all the days of his life.Condannandolo di più in cento sicli d'argento, i quali egli darà al padre della fanciulla, per avere infamato una vergine d'Israele: e l'avrà per sua moglie, e non potrà ripudiarla per tutto il tempo di sua vita.condemning him besides in a hundred sicles of siluer, which he shal geue to the wenches father, because he hath infamousely spred a verie il name vpon a virgin of Israel: and he shal haue her to wife, and can not put her away al the daies of his life.condemnantes insuper centum siclis argenti, quos dabit patri puellæ, quoniam diffamavit nomen pessimum super virginem Israël: habebitque eam uxorem, et non poterit dimittere eam omnibus diebus vitæ suæ. 20But if what he charged her with be true, and virginity be not found in the damsel:Ma se quello ch'ei le rinfaccia, è verità, e la fanciulla non fu trovata vergine,But if it be true which he obiected, and virginitie be not found in the wench:Quod si verum est quod objicit, et non est in puella inventa virginitas, 21They shall cast her out of the doors of her father’s house, and the men of the city shall stone her to death, and she shall die: because she hath done a wicked thing in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: and thou shalt take away the evil out of the midst of thee.La scacceranno fuori della porta della casa del padre suo, e gli abitanti di quella città la lapideranno, ed ella morrà: perché ha fatto cosa indegna in Israele, arrivando a peccare in casa del padre suo; e torrai di mezzo a te l'iniquità.they shal cast her forth without the doores of her fathers house, and the men of her citie shal stone her to death, and she shal die: because she hath done wickednes in Israel, to fornicate in her fathers house: and thou shalt take away the euil out of the middes of thee.ejicient eam extra fores domus patris sui, et lapidibus obruent viri civitatis illius, et morietur: quoniam fecit nefas in Israël, ut fornicaretur in domo patris sui: et auferes malum de medio tui.

22If a man lie with another man’s wife, they shall both die, that is to say, the adulterer and the adulteress: and thou shalt take away the evil out of Israel.Se un uomo pecca colla moglie d'un altro, ambedue saran messi a morte, l'adultero, e l'adultera: e così torrai l'iniquità di mezzo a Israele.If a man lie with an others mans wife, both shal die, that is to say, the aduouterer and the aduouteresse: and thou shalt take away the euil out of Israel.Si dormierit vir cum uxore alterius, uterque morietur, id est, adulter et adultera: et auferes malum de Israël. 23If a man have espoused a damsel that is a virgin, and some one find her in the city, and lie with her,Se un uomo ha contratti sponsali con una fanciulla vergine, e uno trovatala per la città pecca con essa,If a man haue despoused a maide that is a virgine, and some man finde her in the citie, and lie with her,Si puellam virginem desponderit vir, et invenerit eam aliquis in civitate, et concubuerit cum ea, 24Thou shalt bring them both out to the gate of that city, and they shall be stoned: the damsel, because she cried not out, being in the city: the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife. And thou shalt take away the evil from the midst of thee.Condurrai l'uno, e l'altra fuori della porta della città, e saran lapidati: la fanciulla, perché non ha gridato trovandosi in città: l'uomo, perché ha disonorato la donna del suo prossimo: e tu leverai di mezzo a te l'iniquità,thou shalt bring forh both of them to the gate of that citie, and they shal be stoned: the maide, because she cried not, being in the citie: the man, because he hath humbled his neighbours wife. and thou shalt take away the euil from the middes of thee.educes utrumque ad portam civitatis illius, et lapidibus obruentur: puella, quia non clamavit, cum esset in civitate: vir, quia humiliavit uxorem proximi sui: et auferes malum de medio tui. 25But if a man find a damsel that is betrothed, in the field, and taking hold of her, lie with her, he alone shall die:Ma se la fanciulla che ha fatto gli sponsali, fu trovata dall'uomo in campagna, e questi presala pecca con lei, egli solo sarà messo a morte:But if the man finde the maide that is despoused, in the field, and taking her, lie with her, he alone shal die:Sin autem in agro repererit vir puellam, quæ desponsata est, et apprehendens concubuerit cum ea, ipse morietur solus: 26The damsel shall suffer nothing, neither is she guilty of death: for as a robber riseth against his brother, and taketh away his life, so also did the damsel suffer:La fanciulla non ne patirà altra pena, né è rea di morte: perché come un assassino va alla vita del suo fratello, e l'uccide, così è avvenuto a lei:the maide shal suffer nothing, neither is she guiltie of death: for as a theefe ryseth against his brother, and taketh away his life, so also did the maide suffer.puella nihil patietur, nec est rea mortis: quoniam sicut latro consurgit contra fratrem suum, et occidit animam ejus, ita et puella perpessa est.

27She was alone in the field: she cried, and there was no man to help her.Ella era sola in campagna: gridò, e non vi era chi la liberasse.she was alone in the field: she cried, and there was no man to deliuer her.Sola erat in agro: clamavit, et nullus affuit qui liberaret eam. 28If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, who is not espoused, and taking her, lie with her, and the matter come to judgment:Se uno trova una fanciulla vergine, che non ha ancora sposo, e presala la disonora, portato l'affare in giudizio,If a man finde a maide that is a virgin, which hath not a spouse, and taking her lie with her, and the matter come into iudgement:Si invenerit vir puellam virginem, quæ non habet sponsum, et apprehendens concubuerit cum illa, et res ad judicium venerit: 29He that lay with her shall give to the father of the maid fifty sicles of silver, and shall have her to wife, because he hath humbled her: he may not put her away all the days of his life.Colui che l'ha disonorata, darà al padre della fanciulla cinquanta sicli d'argento, e l'avrà per sua moglie, perché l'ha violata: non potrà ripudiarla per tutto il tempo di sua vita.he that lay with her, shal geue to •he father of the maide siftie sicles of siluer, and shal haue her to wife, because he hath humbled her: he can not put her away al the daies of his life.dabit qui dormivit cum ea, patri puellæ quinquaginta siclos argenti, et habebit eam uxorem, quia humiliavit illam: non poterit dimittere eam cunctis diebus vitæ suæ. 30No man shall take his father’s wife, nor remove his covering.Nissuno sposerà la moglie del proprio padre, e non le farà disonore.No man shal take his fathers wife, nor reuele his couering.Non accipiet homo uxorem patris sui, nec revelabit operimentum ejus.
