Deuteronomy 24

1 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.

“ʻOka fili mai ʻe ha tangata hono uaifi, pea na fakamaʻu mo ia, pea hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoku ʻikai siʻi te ne maʻu ha fiemālie ʻiate ia, koeʻuhi kuo ne ʻilo ha meʻa taʻemaʻa ʻiate ia: tuku ai ke ne tohi haʻane tohi fakamāvae, pea ke ʻatu ia ki hono nima, pea fekau ia ke ʻalu mei hono fale.

2 Suppose that after leaving his house, she goes marries another man,

Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu mei hono fale, ʻe ngofua ʻa ʻene ʻalu ia ʻo hoko ko e uaifi ʻoe tangata kehe.

3 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.

Pea kapau ʻe fehiʻa kiate ia hono husepāniti ko ia, pea ne tohi maʻana ʻae tohi fakamāvae, ʻo ʻatu ia ki hono nima, pea fekau ia ke ʻalu mei hono fale; pea kapau ʻe mate ʻae husepāniti ki mui naʻa ne maʻu ia ko hono uaifi,

4 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.

‌ʻE ʻikai ngofua ki hono ʻuluaki husepāniti, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau ia ke ʻalu, ke ne toe ʻomi ia ko hono uaifi, hili hono fakahalaʻi; he ko e meʻa kovi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea ʻoua naʻa ke fakaangahalaʻi ʻae fonua, ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ko ho tofiʻa.

5 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.

“ʻOka maʻu ʻe he tangata ʻae uaifi foʻou, ʻoua naʻa ʻalu ia ki he tau, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ha ngāue kiate ia: kae tuku ke ʻataʻatā ia ʻi ʻapi ʻi he taʻu ʻe taha, pea te ne fakafiemālie ki he uaifi ʻaia kuo ne maʻu.

6 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.

“Ke ʻoua naʻa ʻave ʻe ha tangata ʻe taha ʻae maka toka lalo pe ko e maka ʻi ʻolunga ʻoe meʻa momosi ko e tuku totongi: he ʻoku ne ʻave ʻae moʻuiʻanga ko e tuku totongi.

7 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.

“Kapau ʻe maʻu ha tangata ʻoku ne kaihaʻasi ha niʻihi ʻi hono kāinga ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo fakamālohiʻi ia, pe fakatau ia; pea ʻe mate ai ʻae kaihaʻa ko ia; pea ʻe tukuange ʻae kovi meiate kimoutolu.

8 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.

“Ke ke vakai ʻi he mahaki ko e kilia ke ke tokanga lahi, ke fai ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ko e kau Livai: ʻo hangē ko ia naʻaku fekau kiate kimoutolu, ʻe pehē pe hoʻomou tokanga ʻo fai.

9 Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam on the journey out of Egypt.

Manatu ki he meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Sihova kia Miliame ʻi he hala, hili hoʻomou hiki mai mei ʻIsipite.

10 If you lend anything to someone, don't go into their house to take some kind of security.

“ʻOka ke ka nō atu ha meʻa ki ho tokoua, ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu ki hono fale ke toʻo mai hono tuku totongi.

11 Stand outside while they go inside and bring the security out to you.

Ka ke tuʻu ʻituʻa, pea ko e tangata ko ia ʻoku ke nō atu hoʻo meʻa ki ai ke ne ʻomi kiate koe kituʻa ʻae tuku totongi.

12 If he is a poor man he may give his cloak as security, but you must not keep it when you go to sleep.

Pea kapau ʻoku masiva ʻae tangata, ʻoua naʻa ke mohe mo ʻene meʻa tuku totongi.

13 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.

Ke ke toe ʻatu kiate ia ʻae tuku totongi ʻi he ʻalu hifo ʻae laʻā, koeʻuhi ke mohe ia ʻi hono kofu ʻoʻona mo ne tāpuakiʻi koe: pea ko e meʻa angatonu ia kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

14 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.

“ʻOua naʻa ke fakamamahiʻi ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻoku ngāue ki he totongi ʻaia ʻoku masiva mo tuʻutāmaki, pe ko ha taha ia ʻi ho ngaahi kāinga, pe ʻi he kau muli ʻoku nofo ʻi hoʻo ngaahi kolo:

15 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.

‌ʻI he hoko hono ʻaho ke ke ʻatu kiate ia hono totongi, pea ʻoua naʻa tō ʻae laʻā ki ai; he ʻoku masiva ia, pea ʻoku tokanga hono loto ki ai: telia naʻa tangi ia kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko koe, pea hoko ia ko e angahala kiate koe.

16 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.

‌ʻE ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi tamai ko e fetongi ʻo ʻenau fānau, pea ʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻae fānau koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi tamai: ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae tangata taki taha ʻi heʻene angahala ʻaʻana.

17 Don't treat foreigners or orphans unjustly; don't take a widow's cloak as security.

“ʻOua naʻa ke fakahalaiaʻi ʻae fakamaau ʻae muli, pe ko e tamai mate; pe toʻo ʻae kofu ʻoe uitou ko e tuku totongi.

18 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.

Ka ke manatu naʻa ke pōpula koe ʻi ʻIsipite, pea naʻe huhuʻi koe mei ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ko ia ʻoku ou fekau ai ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.

19 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.

“ʻOka ke ka tuʻusi hifo ho ututaʻu ʻoku ʻi he ngoue, pea kuo ngalo ʻae ū uite ʻe taha ʻi he ngoue, ʻoua naʻa ke toe ʻalu ki he ngoue ke ʻomi ia: tuku ia ki he muli, mo e tamai mate, mo e uitou: koeʻuhi ke tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he ngāue kotoa pē ʻa ho nima.

20 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.

‌ʻOka ke ka haha hoʻo ʻolive, ʻoua naʻa ke toe ala ki hono ngaahi pasanga: kae tuku ia ki he muli, mo e tamai mate, pea ki he uitou.

21 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.

‌ʻOka ke ka toli ʻae ngaahi kālepi ʻo hoʻo ngoue vaine, ʻoua naʻa ke tānaki hono toenga: tuku ia ki he muli, mo e tamai mate, pea ki he fefine paea.

22 Remember you were once slaves in Egypt. That's why I'm ordering you to do this.

Te ke manatu naʻa ke pōpula koe ʻi ʻIsipite: ko ia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe ke fai ʻae meʻa ni.
