Deuteronomy 22

Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.

Don't ignore your neighbor's lost livestock. Instead, help return them.

And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.

If your brother is far away or unknown to you, bring what belongs to him to your home. Keep it safe until he comes looking for it, then return it to him.

In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother’s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.

Treat your brother's donkey, clothes, and all lost items you find, just as you would want him to treat yours. Don't ignore this; do the right thing.

Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again.

Don't ignore your neighbor's struggling animal; instead, lend a hand and help them out.

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

A woman should not dress like a man, and a man should not wear women's clothes. Anyone who does this is detestable to God.

If a bird’s nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:

If you happen to come across a bird's nest in a tree or on the ground, with little chicks or eggs and the mother bird is there, do not take the mother along with her young ones.

But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.

Always release the mother, but feel free to take the young ones. This will bring you good fortune and a long life.

When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.

When you build a new home, ensure you put a safety railing on your roof. This way, you won't be responsible if someone accidentally falls off.

Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.

Don't mix different seeds in your vineyard; it could ruin both your crops and your grapes.

Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.

Never plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.

Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.

Don't mix different types of fabrics, like wool and linen, in a single outfit.

Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.

Put tassels on the four corners of your clothing that you wear.

If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,

If a man marries a woman and then despises her,

And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:

and speaks against her, tarnishes her reputation, and declares, "I married this woman, but when I slept with her I found she was not a virgin."

Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:

The girl's parents will present proof of her purity to the city's respected elders at the city gate.

And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;

The girl's father, with a heavy heart, will tell the elders, "I entrusted my daughter to this man in marriage, but he despises her."

And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

He accused her unjustly, claiming, "Your daughter was not pure when I married her." But here are the proofs of her innocence. They will present this evidence to the city's respected elders.

And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;

The city's leaders will take that man and punish him.

And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.

They will fine him a hundred silver coins, to be given to the young woman's father, as he has tarnished her reputation. She will become his wife and he cannot divorce her for as long as he lives.

But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:

If it's indeed true, and there's no proof of the girl's innocence:

Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.

The young woman will be brought to her father's doorstep, and there the men of her town will stone her to death. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while living in her father's home. In this way you must purge the evil from among you.

If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.

If a man is caught in bed with a married woman, both of them must face death. This way, you'll rid Israel of such wickedness.

If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;

If a young woman, pure and promised to be married, is found by another man in the city, and he sleeps with her;

Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.

Bring both of them to the city gate. Stone them until they die. The woman, for not crying out for help though she was in the city, and the man, for violating his neighbor's wife. In doing so, you will rid your community of evil.

But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.

If a man encounters an engaged woman alone in the open and violates her, only he who committed the act should face death.

But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:

Don't harm the girl; she's innocent, not deserving of death. It's like when a man kills his neighbor - it's the same situation.

For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.

He discovered her alone in the open field. The engaged young woman cried out for help, but there was no one to rescue her.

If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;

If a man encounters a young woman who is a virgin and not engaged, and he seizes her and sleeps with her, and this becomes known;

Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

The man who slept with her must pay her father fifty silver coins, and then marry her. Because he violated her, he can never divorce her as long as he lives.

A man shall not take his father’s wife, nor discover his father’s skirt.

A man must never marry or sleep with his father's wife; that would dishonor his father's marriage bed.
