< Deuteronomy 24 >

1 When a man has taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he has found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
“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。
2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
妇人离开夫家以后,可以去嫁别人。
3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and gives it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
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,
4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and you shall not cause the land to sin, which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.
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。”
5 When a man has taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he has taken.
“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。

12 And if the man be poor, you shall not sleep with his pledge:

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。
14 You shall not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of your brethren, or of your strangers that are in your land within your gates:
“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。
15 At his day you shall give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and sets his heart upon it: lest he cry against you unto the LORD, and it be sin unto you.

17 You shall not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:

18 But you shall remember that you were a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you thence: therefore I command you to do this thing.
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。
