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，
'When a man doth take a wife, and hath married her, and it hath been, if she doth not find grace in his eyes (for he hath found in her nakedness of anything), and he hath written for her a writing of divorce, and given [it] into her hand, and sent 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，
and she hath gone out of his house, and hath gone and been another man's,
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 the latter man hath hated her, and written for her a writing of divorce, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house, or when the latter man dieth, who hath taken her to himself for a wife:
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。
'Her former husband who sent her away is not able to turn back to take her to be to him for a wife, after that she hath become defiled; for an abomination it [is] before Jehovah, and thou dost not cause the land to sin which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance.
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。
'When a man taketh a new wife, he doth not go out into the host, and [one] doth not pass over unto him for anything; free he is at his own house one year, and hath rejoiced his wife whom he hath taken.
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。
'None doth take in pledge millstones, and rider, for life it [is] he is taking in pledge.
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。
'When a man is found stealing a person, of his brethren, of the sons of Israel, and hath tyrannized over him, and sold him, then hath that thief died, and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.
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。
'Take heed, in the plague of leprosy, to watch greatly, and to do according to all that the priests, the Levites, teach you; as I have commanded them ye observe to do;
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 that which Jehovah thy God hath done to Miriam in the way, in your coming out of Egypt.
10 幾時你借給你近人什麼，不可走進他家索取抵押；
'When thou liftest up on thy brother a debt of anything, thou dost not go in unto his house to obtain his pledge;
11 應站在外面，等那借貸的人把抵押給你拿出來。
at the outside thou dost stand, and the man on whom thou art lifting [it] up is bringing out unto thee the pledge at the outside.
12 倘若他是個貧苦人，你不可帶著他的抵押去睡覺。
'And if he is a poor man, thou dost not lie down with his pledge;
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。
thou dost certainly give back to him the pledge at the going in of the sun, and he hath lain down in his own raiment, and hath blessed thee; and to thee it is righteousness before Jehovah thy 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，
'Thou dost not oppress a hireling, poor and needy, of thy brethren or of thy sojourner who is in thy land within thy gates;
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。
in his day thou dost give his hire, and the sun doth not go in upon it, for he [is] poor, and unto it he is lifting up his soul, and he doth not cry against thee unto Jehovah, and it hath been in thee — 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 put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers — each for his own sin, they are put to death.
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；
'Thou dost not turn aside the judgment of a fatherless sojourner, nor take in pledge the garment of a widow;
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。
and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in Egypt, and Jehovah thy God doth ransom thee from thence; therefore I am commanding thee to do this thing.
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。
'When thou reapest thy harvest in thy field, and hast forgotten a sheaf in a field, thou dost not turn back to take it; to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, it is; so that Jehovah thy God doth bless thee in all the work of thy hands.
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 thou beatest thine olive, thou dost not examine the branch behind thee; to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, it is.
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 thou cuttest thy vineyard, thou dost not glean behind thee; to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, it is;
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。
and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding thee to do this thing.
