Exodus 23

Studie

   

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

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

3 Pauperis quoque non misereberis in judicio.

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

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

6 Non declinabis in judicium pauperis.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

14 Tribus vicibus per singulos annos mihi festa celebrabitis.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

9246. Exodus 23

1. You shall not take up a report of vanity; 1 do not put your hand with the wicked to be a witness of violence. 2

2. You shall not follow a multitude into evil things; 3 and you shall not respond 4 in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert [justice].

3. And you shall not show partiality towards 5 a poor man in his dispute.

4. When you meet your enemy's ox or his ass going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him.

5. When you see the ass of one who hates you lying under its burden, and you would cease from removing [it] for him, 6 you shall surely remove [it] with him. 7

6. You shall not turn aside 8 the judgement of your needy one in his dispute.

7. You shall keep yourself well away from the word of a lie; 9 and do not kill the innocent and the righteous, for I will not justify the wicked.

8. And you shall not accept a gift, 10 for a gift 10 blinds those whose eyes are open and perverts the words of the righteous.

9. And a sojourner you shall not oppress; and you know the soul of a sojourner, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

10. And six years you shall sow your land and gather in its produce.

11. And in the seventh you shall let it rest, and let it lie fallow; 11 and the needy of your people will eat, and whatever is left by them 12 the wild animal of the field will eat. In like manner you shall do with your vineyard, with your olive grove.

12. Six days you shall do your work, 13 and on the seventh day you shall cease, in order that your ox and your ass may rest, and your female slave's son and the sojourner may draw breath. 14

13. And all that I have said to you you shall keep. And you shall not mention the name of other gods; it shall not be heard on your lips. 15

14. Three times you shall keep a feast to Me in the year.

15. You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread (seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time of the month Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt; and My face shall not be seen empty-handed 16 );

16. And the feast of the harvest of the firstfruits of your labours, which you have sown in the field; and the feast of ingathering at the end 17 of the year, when you have gathered in [the fruit of] your labours from the field.

17. Three times in the year all your males shall be seen at the face of the Lord Jehovah.

18. You shall not sacrifice the blood of My sacrifice with anything made with yeast; 18 and the fat of My feast shall not remain through the night until morning.

19. The first of the firstfruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of Jehovah your God. You shall not cook a kid in its mother's milk.

20. Behold, I send an angel before you to keep you safe on the way, and to bring you to the place which I have prepared.

21. Take notice of his face, and hear his voice, lest you provoke him, for he will not bear your transgression; for My name is in the middle of him.

22. For if you indeed hear his voice and do all that I speak, I will act as enemy to your enemies and will act as adversary to your adversaries.

23. When My angel goes before you, and brings you to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, and I cut them off,

24. You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their works; for you shall utterly destroy them and completely break to pieces their pillars.

25. And you shall serve Jehovah your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will remove sickness from the midst of you.

26. None will suffer miscarriage or be barren 19 in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.

27. I will send My terror before you and throw into confusion all the people to whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their necks towards you. 20

28. And I will send the hornet before you, and it will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before you.

29. I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest perhaps the land becomes desolate and the wild animal of the field multiplies against you.

30. Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you become fruitful and inherit the land.

31. And I will set your boundary from the Sea Suph even to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness even to the River; 21 for I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out 22 from before you.

32. You shall not make a covenant with them and their gods.

33. They shall not dwell in your land, lest perhaps they cause you to sin against Me when you serve their gods; for it will be a snare to you.
