Deuteronomy 24
1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath 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.
Si acceperit homo uxorem, et habuerit eam, et non invenerit gratiam ante oculos eius propter aliquam fœditatem: scribet libellum repudii, et dabit in manu illius, et dimittet eam de domo sua.
2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s [wife].
Cumque egressa alterum maritum duxerit,
3 And [if] the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth [it] in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her [to be] his wife;
et ille quoque oderit eam, dederitque ei libellum repudii, et dimiserit de domo sua, vel certe mortuus fuerit:
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 thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance.
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 hath 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 hath taken.
Cum acceperit homo nuper uxorem, non procedet ad bellum, nec ei quippiam necessitatis iniungetur publicæ, sed vacabit absque culpa domi suæ, ut uno anno lætetur cum uxore sua.
6 No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh [a man’s] life to pledge.
Non accipies loco pignoris inferiorem, et superiorem molam: quia animam suam opposuit tibi.
7 If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil 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 heed in the plague 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.
Observa diligenter ne incurras plagam lepræ, sed facies quæcumque docuerint te sacerdotes Levitici generis iuxta id, quod præcepi eis, et imple sollicite.
9 Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.
Mementote quæ fecerit Dominus Deus vester Mariæ in via cum egrederemini de Ægypto.
10 When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
Cum repetes a proximo tuo rem aliquam, quam debet tibi, non ingredieris domum eius ut pignus auferas:
11 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
sed stabis foris, et ille tibi proferet quod habuerit.
12 And if the man [be] poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
sin autem pauper est, non pernoctabit apud te pignus,
13 In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto 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 oppress an hired servant [that is] poor and needy, [whether he be] of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that [are] in thy land within thy gates:
Non negabis mercedem indigentis, et pauperis fratris tui, sive advenæ, qui tecum moratur in terra, et intra portas tuas est:
15 At his day thou shalt give [him] his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he [is] poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto 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, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
Non occidentur patres pro filiis, nec filii pro patribus, sed unusquisque pro peccato suo morietur.
17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, [nor] of the fatherless; nor take a widow’s raiment to pledge:
Non pervertes iudicium advenæ et pupilli, nec auferes pignoris loco viduæ vestimentum.
18 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
Memento quod servieris in Ægypto, et eruerit te Dominus Deus tuus inde. Idcirco præcipio tibi ut facias hanc rem.
19 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work 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 olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
Si fruges collegeris olivarum, quidquid remanserit in arboribus, non reverteris ut colligas: sed relinques advenæ, pupillo, ac viduæ.
21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean [it] afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
Si vindemiaveris vineam tuam, non colliges remanentes racemos, sed cedent in usus advenæ, pupilli, ac viduæ.
22 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
Memento quod et tu servieris in Ægypto, et idcirco præcipio tibi ut facias hanc rem.
