申命記 24
1 如果一人娶了妻，佔有她之後，在她身上發現了什麼難堪的事，因而不喜悅她，便給她寫了休書，交在她手中，叫她離開他的家，
Should a man marry a woman, but then isn't pleased with her because he finds out something shameful about her, he is allowed to write out a certificate of divorce for her, give it to her, and send her out of his house.
2 而這女子走出了他的家，又去嫁給了另一人為妻，
Suppose that after leaving his house, she goes marries another man,
3 如果後夫又憎惡她給她寫了休書，交在她手中，叫她離開他的家，或者娶她為妻的後夫死了，
and suppose the second man also ends up hating her, writes out a certificate of divorce for her, gives it to her, and sends her out of his house—or he may happen to die.
4 那麼，那休她的前夫，在她受了污辱之後，不能再娶她為妻，因為這在上主面前是可憎惡的事；你不可使上主你的天主賜給你作產業的土地陷於罪惡。
The first husband who divorced her is not permitted to marry her again after she was shamed, for that offends the Lord. You are not bring guilt upon the land that the Lord your God is giving you to own.
5 人娶了新婦，不應從軍出征，也不可派他擔任什麼職務；他應在加享受一年自由，使他新娶的妻子快活。
If a man has just got married, he is not to be sent to war or made to do any other duties. He is free to stay at home for one year and make his wife happy.
6 不可拿人的磨，或上面的一塊磨石作抵押，因為這無異是拿人的性命作抵押。
Don't accept a pair of millstones, or even just an upper millstone, as security for a debt, because that would put the borrower's life in danger.
7 若發現一人拐帶了以色列子民中的一個兄弟，叫他充當奴隸，或將他販賣於人，這拐子應處死刑：這樣你由中間剷除了這邪惡。
Anyone caught kidnapping a fellow Israelite must be executed, whether the kidnapper makes him a slave or sells him. You must eliminate the evil from among you.
8 遇有癩病的情形，應全照肋未司祭指教你們的，謹慎遵行。我怎樣吩咐了他們，你們就怎樣遵守執行。
When it comes to infectious skin diseases, make sure you follow carefully all the instructions of the Levitical priests. Be careful to follow the orders I've given them.
9 你應記得你們出埃及後，在途中，上主你的天主對米黎盎所做的事。
Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam on the journey out of Egypt.
10 幾時你借給你近人什麼，不可走進他家索取抵押；
If you lend anything to someone, don't go into their house to take some kind of security.
11 應站在外面，等那借貸的人把抵押給你拿出來。
Stand outside while they go inside and bring the security out to you.
12 倘若他是個貧苦人，你不可帶著他的抵押去睡覺。
If he is a poor man he may give his cloak as security, but you must not keep it when you go to sleep.
13 反之，在日落時，務要將抵押還給他，好叫他睡在自己的外衣裏祝福你；這在上主你的天主面前，算是你的功德。
Make sure you give it back by sunset, so that he can sleep in his own cloak and thank you, and you will be counted as doing good by the Lord your God.
14 貧苦可憐的傭工，不論是你的一個兄弟，或是你城鎮地區內的一個外方人，你不應欺壓他，
Don't mistreat a paid servant who is poor and needy, whether he's an Israelite or a foreigner living in one of your towns.
15 應在當天，交給他工錢，不要等到日落；因為他貧苦，他急需工錢用，免得他對你不滿而呼求上主，你就不免有罪了。
Pay his wages every day before sunset, because he is poor and is relying on them. If you don't he may complain to the Lord about you, and you will be found guilty of sin.
16 不可為兒子的罪處死父親，亦不可為父親的罪處死兒子：每人應為自己的罪被處死刑。
Fathers are not to be executed because of their children, and children are not to be executed because of their fathers. Each person is to be executed because of their own sin.
17 不可侵犯外方人或孤兒的權利，不可拿寡婦的衣服作抵押；
Don't treat foreigners or orphans unjustly; don't take a widow's cloak as security.
18 應記得你在埃及曾做過奴隸，上主你的天主曾將你由那裏救出：為此我吩咐你應遵行這條命令。
Remember that you were once slaves in Egypt, and the Lord your God rescued you from that place. That's why I'm ordering you to do this.
19 當你在田間收割莊稼時，如在田中忘下了一捆，不要再回去拾取，要留下給外方人、孤兒和寡婦，好叫上主你的天主在你做的一切事上祝福你。
If when you're harvesting in your field you forget a sheaf there, don't go back for it. Leave it for the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows, so that the Lord your God may bless you in everything you do.
20 當你打橄欖樹時，不要再回去打樹枝上所剩的，應留給外方人、孤兒和寡婦。
When you shake the olive trees to knock down the olives, don't go over the branches again. What's left is for the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows.
21 當你收穫葡萄時，不要再摘取所剩下的，應留給外方人、孤兒和寡婦。
When you harvest the grapes in your vineyard, don't go over the vines again. What's left is for the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows.
22 總應記得你在埃及地曾做過奴隸：為此我吩咐你應遵行這條命令。
Remember you were once slaves in Egypt. That's why I'm ordering you to do this.
