Deuteronomy 24
1 When a man taketh a wife, and marrieth her, if so be shee finde no fauour in his eyes, because hee hath espyed some filthinesse in her, then let him write her a bill of diuorcement, and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
Si acceperit homo uxorem, et habuerit eam, et non invenerit gratiam ante oculos eius propter aliquam foeditatem: scribet libellum repudii, et dabit in manu illius, et dimittet eam de domo sua.
2 And when she is departed out of his house, and gone her way, and marrie with an other man,
Cumque egressa alterum maritum duxerit,
3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a letter of diuorcement, and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house, or if the latter man die which tooke her to wife:
et ille quoque oderit eam, dederitque ei libellum repudii, et dimiserit de domo sua, vel certe mortuus fuerit:
4 Then her first husband, which sent her away, may not take her againe to be his wife, after that she is defiled: for that is abomination in the sight of the Lord, and thou shalt not cause the land to sinne, which the Lord thy God doeth giue thee to inherite.
non poterit prior maritus recipere eam in uxorem: quia polluta est, et abominabilis facta est coram Domino: ne peccare facias Terram tuam, quam Dominus Deus tuus tradiderit tibi possidendam.
5 When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not goe a warfare, neither shalbe charged with any businesse, but shalbe free at home one yeere, and reioyce with his wife which he hath taken.
Cum acceperit homo nuper uxorem, non procedet ad bellum, nec ei quippiam necessitatis iniungetur publicae, sed vacabit absque culpa domui suae, ut uno anno laetetur cum uxore sua.
6 No man shall take the nether nor the vpper milstone to pledge: for this gage is his liuing.
Non accipies loco pignoris inferiorem, et superiorem molam: quia animam suam apposuit tibi.
7 If any man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh marchandise of him, or selleth him, that thiefe shall die: so shalt thou put euil away from among you.
Si deprehensus fuerit homo solicitans fratrem suum de filiis Israel, et vendito eo acceperit pretium, interficietur, et auferes malum de medio tui.
8 Take heede of the plague of leprosie, that thou obserue diligently, and doe according to all that the Priestes of the Leuites shall teach you: take heede ye doe as I commanded them.
Observa diligenter ne incurras plagam leprae, sed facies quaecumque docuerint te sacerdotes Levitici generis iuxta id, quod praecepi eis, et imple solicite.
9 Remember what the Lord thy God did vnto Miriam by the way after that ye were come out of Egypt.
Mementote quae fecerit Dominus Deus vester Mariae in via cum egrederemini de Aegypto.
10 Whe thou shalt aske again of thy neighbour any thing lent, thou shalt not goe into his house to fet his pledge.
Cum repetes a proximo tuo rem aliquam, quam debet tibi, non ingredieris domum eius ut pignus auferas:
11 But thou shalt stand without, and the man that borowed it of thee, shall bring the pledge out of the doores vnto thee.
sed stabis foris, et ille tibi proferet quod habuerit.
12 Furthermore if it be a poore body, thou shalt not sleepe with his pledge,
sin autem pauper est, non pernoctabit apud te pignus,
13 But shalt restore him the pledge when the sunne goeth downe, that he may sleepe in his raiment, and blesse thee: and it shalbe righteousnesse vnto thee before the Lord thy God.
sed statim reddes ei ante solis occasum: ut dormiens in vestimento suo, benedicat tibi, et habeas iustitiam coram Domino Deo tuo.
14 Thou shalt not oppresse an hyred seruant that is needie and poore, neyther of thy brethren, nor of the stranger that is in thy land within thy gates.
Non negabis mercedem indigentis, et pauperis fratris tui, sive advenae, qui tecum moratur in terra, et intra portas tuas est:
15 Thou shalt giue him his hire for his day, neither shall the sunne goe downe vpon it: for he is poore, and therewith susteineth his life: lest he crye against thee vnto the Lord, and it be sinne vnto thee.
sed eadem die reddes ei pretium laboris sui ante solis occasum, quia pauper est, et ex eo sustentat animam suam: ne clamet contra te ad Dominum, et reputetur tibi in peccatum.
16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children put to death for the fathers, but euery man shalbe put to death for his owne sinne.
Non occidentur patres pro filiis, nec filii pro patribus, sed unusquisque pro peccato suo morietur.
17 Thou shalt not peruert the right of the stranger, nor of the fatherlesse, nor take a widowes rayment to pledge.
Non pervertes iudicium advenae et pupilli, nec auferes pignoris loco viduae vestimentum.
18 But remember that thou wast a seruant in Egypt, and howe the Lord thy God deliuered thee thence. Therefore I commaund thee to doe this thing.
Memento quod servieris in Aegypto, et eruerit te Dominus Deus tuus inde. Idcirco praecipio tibi ut facias hanc rem.
19 When thou cuttest downe thine haruest in thy fielde, and hast forgotten a sheafe in the fielde, thou shalt not goe againe to fet it, but it shalbe for the stranger, for the fatherles, and for the widowe: that the Lord thy God may blesse thee in all the workes of thine hands.
Quando messueris segetem in agro tuo, et oblitus manipulum reliqueris, non reverteris ut tollas illum: sed advenam, et pupillum, et viduam auferre patieris, ut benedicat tibi Dominus Deus tuus in omni opere manuum tuarum.
20 When thou beatest thine oliue tree, thou shalt not goe ouer the boughes againe, but it shalbe for the stranger, for the fatherlesse, and for the widowe.
Si fruges collegeris olivarum, quidquid remanserit in arboribus, non reverteris ut colligas: sed relinques advenae, pupillo, ac viduae.
21 When thou gatherest thy vineyard, thou shalt not gather the grapes cleane after thee, but they shalbe for the stranger, for the fatherlesse, and for the widowe.
Si vindemiaveris vineam tuam, non colliges remanentes racemos, sed cedent in usus advenae, pupilli, ac viduae.
22 And remember that thou wast a seruant in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to doe this thing.
Memento quod et tu servieris in Aegypto, et idcirco praecipio tibi ut facias hanc rem.
