21 — Deuteronomio

1When there shall be found in the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee, the corpse of a man slain, and it is not known who is guilty of the murder,Quando nella terra, che il Signore Dio tuo ti darà, avvenga che si trovi il cadavere d'un uomo ucciso, senza che sappiasi il reo dell'omicidio,VVHEN there shal be found in the Land, which our Lord thy God wil geue thee, the corps of a man slaine, and he that is guiltie of the murder is not knowneQuando inventum fuerit in terra, quam Dominus Deus tuus daturus est tibi, hominis cadaver occisi, et ignorabitur cædis reus, 2Thy ancients and judges shall go out, and shall measure from the place where the body lieth the distance of every city round about:Andranno i seniori tuoi, e i giudici, e misureranno le distanze di tutte le città, che sono all'intorno del luogo, dov'è il cadavere:thy ancientes, and iudges shal goe forth, and measure from the place of the corps the distance of euerie citie round about:egredientur majores natu, et judices tui, et metientur a loco cadaveris singularum per circuitum spatia civitatum: 3And the ancients of that city which they shall perceive to be nearer than the rest, shall take a heifer of the herd, that hath not drawn in the yoke, nor ploughed the ground,E i seniori di quella città, che troverassi essere più vicina, prenderanno una vitella di branco, che non avrà portato giogo, né rotta terra coll'aratro,and which they shal perceiue to be neerer then the rest, the ancientes of that citie shal take an heifer out of the heard, that hath not drawen yoke, nor ploughed the ground,et quam viciniorem ceteris esse perspexerint, seniores civitatis illius tollent vitulam de armento, quæ non traxit jugum, nec terram scidit vomere, 4And they shall bring her into a rough and stony valley, that never was ploughed, nor sown: and there they shall strike off the head of the heifer:E la condurranno in una valle incolta, e sassosa, la quale non sia stata arata giammai, né seminata: e ivi taglieranno il capo alla vitella:and shal bring her to a rough and stonie valley, that neuer was ploughed, nor receiued seede: and in it they shal strike of the necke of the heifer:et ducent eam ad vallem asperam atque saxosam, quæ numquam arata est, nec sementem recepit: et cædent in ea cervices vitulæ: 5And the priests the sons of Levi shall come, whom the Lord thy God hath chosen to minister to him, and to bless in his name, and that by their word every matter should be decided, and whatsoever is clean or unclean should be judged.E si accosteranno i sacerdoti figliuoli di Levi eletti dal Signore Dio tuo pel suo ministero, e per dar la benedizione nel nome di lui, secondo il giudizio de' quali si finisce ogni affare, e si determina quel che sia mondo, o immondo;and the priestes the sonnes of Leui shal come, whom our Lord thy God hath chosen to minister to him, and to blesse in his name, and at their word euerie matter dependeth, and whatsoeuer is cleane or vncleane must be iudged.accedentque sacerdotes filii Levi, quos elegerit Dominus Deus tuus ut ministrent ei, et benedicant in nomine ejus, et ad verbum eorum omne negotium, et quidquid mundum, vel immundum est, judicetur.

6And the ancients of that city shall come to the person slain, and shall wash their hands over the heifer that was killed in the valley,E si accosteranno i seniori della città al corpo morto, e laveranno le loro mani sopra la vitella uccisa nella valle,And the ancientes of that citie shal come to the slaine person, and shal wash their handes ouer the heifer, that was strooken in the valley,Et venient majores natu civitatis illius ad interfectum, lavabuntque manus suas super vitulam, quæ in valle percussa est, 7And shall say: Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it.E diranno: Le nostre mani non hanno sparso questo sangue, né gli occhi nostri han veduto:and shal say: Our handes did not sheede this bloud, nor our eies seee it.et dicent: Manus nostræ non effuderunt sanguinem hunc, nec oculi viderunt: 8Be merciful to thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, O Lord, and lay not innocent blood to their charge, in the midst of thy people Israel. And the guilt of blood shall be taken from them:Sii propizio al tuo popolo d'Israele riscattato da te, o Signore, e questo sangue innocente non sia sopra il popol tuo d'Israele. Così non saranno più rei del sangue.be merciful to thy people Israel, whom thou hast redemed o Lord, and impute not innocent bloud in the middes of thy people Israel. And the guilte of bloud shal be taken from them:propitius esto populo tuo Israël, quem redemisti, Domine, et ne reputes sanguinem innocentem in medio populi tui Israël. Et auferetur ab eis reatus sanguinis: 9And thou shalt be free from the innocent’s blood, that was shed, when thou shalt have done what the Lord hath commanded thee.E tu non renderai conto del sangue sparso dall'innocente, quando avrai fatto quel che ha comandato il Signore.and thou shalt be free from the innocents bloud, that was shed, when thou shalt haue done that which our Lord hath commanded thee.tu autem alienus eris ab innocentis cruore, qui fusus est, cum feceris quod præcepit Dominus. 10If thou go out to fight against thy enemies, and the Lord thy God deliver them into thy hand, and thou lead them away captives,Se tu sarai andato a combattere contro de' tuoi nimici, e il Signore Dio tuo gli avrà dati nelle tue mani, e gli avrai fatti prigionieri,If thou goe forth to fight against thyne enemies, and our Lord thy God deliuer them in thy hande and thou leade them away captiue,Si egressus fueris ad pugnam contra inimicos tuos, et tradiderit eos Dominus Deus tuus in manu tua, captivosque duxeris, 11And seest in the number of the captives a beautiful woman, and lovest her, and wilt have her to wife,E vedendo nel numero de' prigionieri una bella donna, le porrai affetto, e bramerai di averla per moglie:and seest in the number of the captiues a beautiful woman, and louest her, and wilt haue her to wife,et videris in numero captivorum mulierem pulchram, et adamaveris eam, voluerisque habere uxorem, 12Thou shalt bring her into thy house: and she shall shave her hair, and pare her nails,Tu la menerai a casa tua, ed ella si toserà la chioma, e si taglierà le unghie,thou shalt bring her into thy house: who shal shaue of her hare, and payre her nailes,introduces eam in domum tuam: quæ radet cæsariem, et circumcidet ungues, 13And shall put off the raiment, wherein she was taken: and shall remain in thy house, and mourn for her father and mother one month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and shalt sleep with her, and she shall be thy wife.E deporrà il vestito, col quale fu presa, e standosi in casa tua piangerà il padre, e la madre sua per un mese: e dipoi tu sarai suo marito, ed ella sarà tua moglie.and put of the rayment, wherein she was taken: and sitting in thy house, shal mourne her father and mother one moneth: and afterward thou shalt enter vnto her, and shalt sleepe with her, and she shal be thy wife.et deponet vestem, in qua capta est: sedensque in domo tua, flebit patrem et matrem suam uno mense: et postea intrabis ad eam, dormiesque cum illa, et erit uxor tua.

14But if afterwards she please thee not, thou shalt let her go free, but thou mayst not sell her for money nor oppress her by might because thou hast humbled her.Che se in appresso non ti desse più nel genio, la rimanderai libera, e non potrai venderla per denaro, né opprimerla con prepotenza, perché tu la umiliasti.But if afterward she content not thy mynde, thou shalt let her goe free, neither canst thou sel her for money, nor oppresse her by might: because thou hast humbled her.Si autem postea non sederit animo tuo, dimittes eam liberam, nec vendere poteris pecunia, nec opprimere per potentiam: quia humiliasti eam. 15If a man have two wives, one beloved, and the other hated, and they have had children by him, and the son of the hated be the firstborn,Se un uomo avrà due mogli, l'una amata, l'altra malveduta, ed elle abbiano avuto da lui de' figliuoli, e il figlio di quella che è mal veduta sia il primogenito,If a man haue two wiues, one beloued, and the other hated, and they haue begotten children by him, and the sonne of the hated be the firstborne,Si habuerit homo uxores duas, unam dilectam, et alteram odiosam, genuerintque ex eo liberos, et fuerit filius odiosæ primogenitus, 16And he meaneth to divide his substance among his sons: he may not make the son of the beloved the firstborn, and prefer him before the son of the hated.Se ei vorrà dividere i suoi beni tra' suoi figliuoli, non potrà far primogenito il figliuolo della sua diletta, e preferirlo al figliuolo della malveduta:and he meaneth to diuide his substance among his sonnes: he can not make the sonne of the beloued the first borne, and preferre him before the sonne of the hated,volueritque substantiam inter filios suos dividere, non poterit filium dilectæ facere primogenitum, et præferre filio odiosæ: 17But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, and shall give him a double portion of all he hath: for this is the first of his children, and to him are due the first birthrights.Ma riconoscerà il figliuolo della malveduta per primogenito, e daragli una doppia porzione di tutto quello che ha: perocché egli è il primo de' suoi figliuoli, e a lui appartiene il diritto di primogenitura.but the sonne of the hated he shal acknowledge for the first borne, and shal geue to him of those thinges, which he hath, al duble: for this is the beginning of his children, & to this are dew the first brith rightes.sed filium odiosæ agnoscet primogenitum, dabitque ei de his quæ habuerit cuncta duplicia: iste est enim principium liberorum ejus, et huic debentur primogenita. 18If a man have a stubborn and unruly son, who will not hear the commandments of his father or mother, and being corrected, slighteth obedience:Se un uomo avrà generata un figliuolo contumace, e protervo, che non ascolta i comandi del padre, o della madre, e gastigato dispettosamente ricusa di obbedire:If a man begette a stubbourne and froward sonne, that wil not heare the commandementes of his father and mother, and being chastened, contemneth to be obedient:Si genuerit homo filium contumacem et protervum, qui non audiat patris aut matris imperium, et coërcitus obedire contempserit:

19They shall take him and bring him to the ancients of the city, and to the gate of judgment,Ei lo prenderanno, e lo condurranno davanti a' seniori di quella città, alla porta, dove si tien ragione,they shal take him, and bring him to the ancientes of his citie, and to the gate of iudgement,apprehendent eum, et ducent ad seniores civitatis illius, et ad portam judicii, 20And shall say to them: This our son is rebellious and stubborn, he slighteth hearing our admonitions, he giveth himself to revelling, and to debauchery and banquetings:E diranno loro: Questo nostro figliuolo è protervo, e contumace, si fa beffe delle nostre ammonizioni, non pensa ad altro, che a bagordi, dissolutezze, e conviti:and shal say to them: This our sonne is froward and stubborne, he contemneth to heare our admonitions, he geueth himself to comessation, and to ryote and banketinges:dicentque ad eos: Filius noster iste protervus et contumax est: monita nostra audire contemnit, comessationibus vacat, et luxuriæ atque conviviis: 21The people of the city shall stone him: and he shall die, that you may take away the evil out of the midst of you, and all Israel hearing it may be afraid.Allora il popolo della città lo lapiderà, ed ei morrà, affinché sia tolta di mezzo a voi l'iniquità, è tutto Israele udendo ciò sia in timore.the people of the citie shal stone him: and he shal die, that you may take away the euil out of the middes of you, and al Israel hearing it may be afrayde.lapidibus eum obruet populus civitatis, et morietur, ut auferatis malum de medio vestri, et universus Israël audiens pertimescat. 22When a man hath committed a crime for which he is to be punished with death, and being condemned to die is hanged on a gibbet:Quando un uomo avrà fatto un peccato da punirsi colla morte, e condannato a morire sarà stato appeso al patibolo,When a man hath offended so that he is to be punished by death, and being condemned to die is hanged on a gybbet:Quando peccaverit homo quod morte plectendum est, et adjudicatus morti appensus fuerit in patibulo: 23His body shall not remain upon the tree, but shall be buried the same day: for he is accursed of God that hangeth on a tree: and thou shalt not defile thy land, which the Lord thy God shall give thee in possession.Non rimarrà sul legno il suo cadavere, ma sarà sepolto lo stesso dì: perocché è maledetto da Dio, chiunque è appeso al legno: e tu non dei contaminar quella terra, di cui il Signore Dio tuo ti avrà dato il possesso.his bodie shal not remaine vpon the tree, but the same day shal be buried: because he is accursed of God that hangeth on a tree: and thou shalt not contaminate thy Land, which our Lord thy God geueth thee in possession.non permanebit cadaver ejus in ligno, sed in eadem die sepelietur: quia maledictus a Deo est qui pendet in ligno: et nequaquam contaminabis terram tuam, quam Dominus Deus tuus dederit tibi in possessionem.
