< 申命记 24 >
1 “人若娶妻以后,见她有什么不合理的事,不喜悦她,就可以写休书交在她手中,打发她离开夫家。
When a man takes a wife, and marries her, then it shall be, if she finds no favor in his eyes, because he has found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
And when she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's.
3 后夫若恨恶她,写休书交在她手中,打发她离开夫家,或是娶她为妻的后夫死了,
And if the latter husband dislikes her, and writes her a bill of divorcement, and gives it in her hand, and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband dies, who took her to be his wife,
4 打发她去的前夫不可在妇人玷污之后再娶她为妻,因为这是耶和华所憎恶的;不可使耶和华—你 神所赐为业之地被玷污了。”
her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife after she is defiled. For that is abomination before Jehovah, and thou shall not cause the land to sin, which Jehovah thy God gives thee for an inheritance.
5 “新娶妻之人不可从军出征,也不可托他办理什么公事,可以在家清闲一年,使他所娶的妻快活。
When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out in the army, neither shall he be charged with any business. He shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.
6 “不可拿人的全盘磨石或是上磨石作当头,因为这是拿人的命作当头。
No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone to pledge, for he takes life to pledge.
7 “若遇见人拐带以色列中的一个弟兄,当奴才待他,或是卖了他,那拐带人的就必治死。这样,便将那恶从你们中间除掉。
If a man is found stealing any of his brothers of the sons of Israel, and he deals with him harshly, or sells him, then that thief shall die. So shall thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.
8 “在大麻风的灾病上,你们要谨慎,照祭司利未人一切所指教你们的留意遵行。我怎样吩咐他们,你们要怎样遵行。
Take heed in the disease of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you. As I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.
9 当记念出埃及后,在路上,耶和华—你 神向米利暗所行的事。
Remember what Jehovah thy God did to Miriam by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt.
10 “你借给邻舍,不拘是什么,不可进他家拿他的当头。
When thou do lend thy neighbor any manner of loan, thou shall not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
11 要站在外面,等那向你借贷的人把当头拿出来交给你。
Thou shall stand outside, and the man to whom thou lend shall bring forth the pledge outside to thee.
And if he is a poor man, thou shall not sleep with his pledge.
13 日落的时候,总要把当头还他,使他用那件衣服盖着睡觉,他就为你祝福;这在耶和华—你 神面前就是你的义了。
Thou shall surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his garment, and bless thee. And it shall be righteousness to thee before Jehovah thy God.
14 “困苦穷乏的雇工,无论是你的弟兄或是在你城里寄居的,你不可欺负他。
Thou shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brothers, or of thy sojourners that are in thy land within thy gates.
15 要当日给他工价,不可等到日落—因为他穷苦,把心放在工价上—恐怕他因你求告耶和华,罪便归你了。
Thou shall give him his hire in his day, neither shall the sun go down upon it, for he is poor, and sets his heart upon it, lest he cry against thee to Jehovah, and it be sin to thee.
16 “不可因子杀父,也不可因父杀子;凡被杀的都为本身的罪。
The fathers shall not be put to death for the sons, neither shall the sons be put to death for the fathers. Every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
17 “你不可向寄居的和孤儿屈枉正直,也不可拿寡妇的衣裳作当头。
Thou shall not distort the justice due to the sojourner, or to the fatherless, nor take the widow's raiment to pledge,
18 要记念你在埃及作过奴仆。耶和华—你的 神从那里将你救赎,所以我吩咐你这样行。
but thou shall remember that thou were a bondman in Egypt, and Jehovah thy God redeemed thee from there. Therefore I command thee to do this thing.
19 “你在田间收割庄稼,若忘下一捆,不可回去再取,要留给寄居的与孤儿寡妇。这样,耶和华—你 神必在你手里所办的一切事上赐福与你。
When thou reap thy harvest in thy field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, thou shall not go again to fetch it. It shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hands.
20 你打橄榄树,枝上剩下的,不可再打;要留给寄居的与孤儿寡妇。
When thou beat thine olive tree, thou shall not go over the boughs again. It shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
21 你摘葡萄园的葡萄,所剩下的,不可再摘;要留给寄居的与孤儿寡妇。
When thou gather of thy vineyard, thou shall not glean it behind thee. It shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
22 你也要记念你在埃及地作过奴仆,所以我吩咐你这样行。
And thou shall remember that thou were a bondman in the land of Egypt. Therefore I command thee to do this thing.
