Translated from Hebrew and Greek with AI, then checked for clarity and fidelity.

1. You shall not see your brother's ox or his sheep straying and ignore them; you shall surely return them to your brother.
2. If your brother is not near you, or you do not know him, bring it into your house, and it shall be with you until your brother seeks it, then return it to him.
3. Likewise you shall do with his donkey; likewise with his garment; likewise with every lost item of your brother that goes missing from him and you find it: you shall not be able to hide yourself.
4. You shall not see your brother's donkey or his ox fallen in the road and ignore them; you shall surely help him lift them up.
5. A woman shall not wear a man's apparel, nor shall a man wear a woman's garment; for whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh your God.
6. If you happen upon a bird's nest before you on the road, in any tree or on the ground, with young or eggs and the mother sitting over the young or over the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young.
7. Surely release the mother, but take the young for yourself, so that it goes well with you and you lengthen your days.
8. When you build a new house, make a parapet for your roof so that you do not bring innocent blood on your house if anyone falls from it.
9. Do not sow your vineyard with mixed seeds, lest the full yield be consecrated—the seed that you sow and the produce of the vineyard.
10. Do not plow with an ox and a donkey together.
11. You shall not wear a mixed garment, wool and linen together.
12. You shall make fringes for yourself on the four corners of your garment with which you cover yourself.
13. If a man takes a wife and comes to her and hates her,
14. He imputes shameful matters to her and brings an evil name upon her, saying, "I married this woman and approached her, but I did not find virginity in her."
15. The girl's father and her mother shall take and bring out the evidence of the girl's virginity to the elders of the city at the gate.
16. The young woman's father shall say to the elders, "I gave my daughter to this man as a wife, and he hates her."
17. See, he has charged her with shameful deeds and words, saying, "I did not find signs of virginity in your daughter," yet these are the signs of my daughter's virginity. They shall spread the garment before the elders of the city.
18. The elders of that city shall take the man and discipline him.
19. They shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the young woman's father, because he has brought an evil name upon a virgin of Israel; she shall be his wife, and he shall not be able to send her away all his days.
20. But if this matter is true, signs of virginity were not found for the young woman herself.
21. They shall bring the young woman out to the entrance of her father's house, and her city's men shall stone her with stones until she dies, because she perpetrated folly in Israel by prostituting in her father's house; thus purge the evil from your midst.
22. If a man is found lying with a man's wife, then both of them shall die—the man who lay with the woman and the woman—and you shall purge the evil from Israel.
23. If a young woman who is a virgin is betrothed to a man, and a man finds her in the city and lies with her;
24. You shall bring them both out to the gate of that city and stone them with stones so they die—the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he humbled his neighbor's wife—so purge the evil from your midst.
25. But if a man finds the betrothed young woman in the field, and the man seizes her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die.
26. You shall not do a thing to the young woman; there is in the young woman no sin of death, for as a man rises against his fellow and murders his life, so is this matter.
27. For he found her in the field, the betrothed young woman cried out, and there was no deliverer for her.
28. If a man finds a young girl who is a virgin and not betrothed, seizes her and lies with her, and they are found.
29. The man who lay with her shall give fifty pieces of silver to the young woman's father, and she shall be his wife because he has violated her; he may not send her away all his days.
30. A man must not take his father's wife or uncover his father's skirt.
