Deuteronomy 24
1 If a man take a wife, and have her, and she find not favour in his eyes, for some uncleanness: he shall write a bill of divorce, and shall give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
Ọ bụrụ na nwoke akpọrọ nwanyị, lụọ ya, ma emesịa ihe nwanyị ahụ amasịkwaghị ya nʼihi na ọ dị ihe ọ chọpụtara nʼahụ ya nke na-adịghị mma, ọ ga-ede akwụkwọ alụkwaghị m nye nwanyị ahụ nʼaka, zilaa ya.
2 And when she is departed, and marrieth another husband,
Ọ bụrụ na emesịa, nwoke ọzọ alụọ ya,
3 And he also hateth her, and hath given her a bill of divorce, and hath sent her out of his house or is dead:
ma nwoke ahụ ekpebiekwa ịgbara ya akwụkwọ achọkwaghị m, maọbụ na nwoke a mesịrị nwụọ,
4 The former husband cannot take her again to wife: because she is defiled, and is become abominable before the Lord: lest thou cause thy land to sin, which the Lord thy God shall give thee to possess.
nwoke mbụ ahụ lụrụ nwanyị ahụ agaghị alụ ya ọzọ, nʼihi na nwanyị a abụrụla onye rụrụ arụ nye nwoke ahụ. Ọ bụkwa arụ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị ma di ya nke mbụ lụọ ya ọzọ. Ihe dị otu a ga-eweta ihe ọjọọ nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke na-enye gị dịka ihe nketa.
5 When a man hath lately taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall any public business be enjoined him, but he shall be free at home without fault, that for one year he may rejoice with his wife.
Nwoke ọbụla lụrụ nwunye ọhụrụ agaghị apụ soro ndị agha, maọbụ soro rụọ ọrụ ọzọ pụrụ iche, otu afọ ka ọ ga-enwere onwe ya ịnọ nʼụlọ ya, ya na nwunye ya, ime onwe ha obi ụtọ.
6 Thou shalt not take the nether, nor the upper millstone to pledge: for he hath pledged his life to thee.
Mmadụ agaghị ewere nkume ịkwọ nri dịka ihe ebe, nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe onye nwe ya ji achọta nri ụbọchị ya.
7 If any man be found soliciting his brother of the children of Israel, and selling him shall take a price, he shall be put to death, and thou shalt take away the evil from the midst of thee.
Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla ezuru nwanna ya onye Izrel nʼohi, mesoo ya mmeso dịka ohu, maọbụ ree ya, onye ohi ahụ ga-anwụ. Nke a bụ ikpochapụ ihe ọjọọ nʼetiti gị.
8 Observe diligently that thou incur not the stroke of the leprosy, but thou shalt do whatsoever the priests of the Levitical race shall teach thee, according to what I have commanded them, and fulfill thou it carefully.
Gbalịsie ike ịhụ na ị na-eso iwu niile onye nchụaja, bụ onye Livayị nyere gị banyere ndị nwere ọrịa ekpenta, nʼihi na agwala m ya usoro ha ga-agbaso.
9 Remember what the Lord your God did to Mary, in the way when you came out of Egypt.
Chetakwa ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị mere Miriam, mgbe i si nʼIjipt na-apụta.
10 When thou shalt demand of thy neighbour any thing that he oweth thee, thou shalt not go into his house to take away a pledge:
Ọ bụrụ na i binye mmadụ ihe ọbụla, abanyekwala nʼụlọ ya ịnata ihe a na-enye gị dị ka ihe ebe.
11 But then shalt stand without, and he shall bring out to thee what he hath.
Guzo nʼezi! Ka onye ahụ ị na-ebinye ihe wetara gị ihe ibe ahụ nʼezi.
12 But if he be poor, the pledge shall not lodge with thee that night,
Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ onye ogbenye na-enweghị ihe, e jidela ihe ibe ya naba ụra abalị.
13 But thou shalt restore it to him presently before the going down of the sun: that he may sleep in his own raiment and bless thee, and thou mayst have justice before the Lord thy God.
Weghachiri ya akwa ahụ nʼanyasị, ka onye agbataobi gị jiri ya hie ụra abalị. Mgbe ahụ ha ga-ekele gị, Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-agụkwara gị ya nʼezi omume.
14 Thou shalt not refuse the hire of the needy, and the poor, whether he be thy brother, or a stranger that dwelleth with thee in the land, and is within thy gates:
Emegbula nwa ogbenye mkpa na-akpa i goro ọrụ, ma onye ahụ ọ bụ nwa Izrel ma ọ bụkwanụ onye ọbịa bi nʼobodo gị.
15 But thou shalt pay him the price of his labour the same day, before the going down of the sun, because he is poor, and with it maintaineth his life: lest he cry against thee to the Lord, and it be reputed to thee for a sin.
Kwụọ ya ụgwọ ya ụbọchị niile tupu anwụ adaa, nʼihi na ebe ọ bụ nwa ogbenye, obi ya dabeere nʼụgwọ ahụ ị ga-akwụ ya. Ọ bụrụ na i meghị otu a, ọ ga-akwa akwa kpọkuo Onyenwe anyị megide gị. A ga-agụkwara gị ya dịka mmehie.
16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children for the fathers, but every one shall die for his own sin.
Agaghị eme ka ndị mụrụ ụmụ nwụọ nʼihi ihe ụmụ ha metara, maọbụ mee ka ụmụ nwụọ nʼihi ihe ndị mụrụ ha metara, onye ọbụla ga-anwụ nʼihi mmehie nke aka ya.
17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger nor of the fatherless, neither shalt thou take away the widow’s raiment for a pledge.
Ikpe ziri ezi ga-adịrị, ọ bụladị onye ọbịa na nwa mgbei, anarakwala nwanyị di ya nwụrụ anwụ uwe ya dịka ihe ibe.
18 Remember that thou wast a slave in Egypt, and the Lord thy God delivered thee from thence. Therefore I command thee to do this thing.
Cheta mgbe niile na i bụrụrị ohu nʼala Ijipt, ma Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị gbapụtara gị, nʼihi nke a ka m ji enye gị iwu ndị a.
19 When thou hast reaped the corn in thy field, and hast forgot and left a sheaf, thou shalt not return to take it away: but thou shalt suffer the stranger, and the fatherless and the widow to tabs it away: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands.
Ọ bụrụ na i lefuo ukwu ọka ụfọdụ anya mgbe ị na-ewe ihe ubi nʼubi gị, alaghachila azụ nʼubi gị ịchịrị ha. Hapụrụ ya ndị ọbịa, na ndị inyom di ha nwụrụ anwụ, na ụmụ mgbei, Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-agọzi gị, ọ ga-emekwa ka ị baa ụba.
20 If thou have gathered the fruit of thy olive trees, thou shalt not return to gather whatsoever remaineth on the trees: but shalt leave it for the stranger, for the fatherless, and the widow.
Mgbe ị na-akụtusi mkpụrụ osisi oliv gị, ejeghachila azụ nʼalaka ọbụla inyochazi ya, ịchọpụta ma ị ghọtachaala mkpụrụ niile mịrị nʼelu ha. Hapụrụ ndị ọbịa na ụmụ mgbei, na ndị inyom di ha nwụrụ mkpụrụ ọbụla fọdụrụ.
21 If thou make the vintage of thy vineyard, thou shalt not gather the clusters that remain, but they shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow.
Otu a ka ị ga-emekwa nʼihe banyere mkpụrụ ubi vaịnị gị. Atụtụkọchala mkpụrụ niile mịrị nʼelu ya. Hapụrụ ndị ọbịa, na ndị mgbei, na ndị inyom di ha nwụrụ ihe niile fọdụrụ.
22 Remember that thou also wast a bondman in Egypt, and therefore I command thee to do this thing.
Chetakwa na o nwere mgbe ị bụ ndị ohu nʼala Ijipt. Ọ bụ nʼihi ya ka m ji na-enye gị iwu a.
