Deuteronomy 24
1 “When a man takes a wife and has married her, and it has been, if she does not find grace in his eyes (for he has found nakedness in her of anything), then he has written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house;
如果一人娶了妻，佔有她之後，在她身上發現了什麼難堪的事，因而不喜悅她，便給她寫了休書，交在她手中，叫她離開他的家，
2 when she has gone out of his house, and has gone and been another man’s,
而這女子走出了他的家，又去嫁給了另一人為妻，
3 and the latter man has hated her, and written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house, or when the latter man dies, who has taken her to himself for a wife,
如果後夫又憎惡她給她寫了休書，交在她手中，叫她離開他的家，或者娶她為妻的後夫死了，
4 her former husband who sent her away is not able to return to take her to be to him for a wife, after that she has become defiled; for it [is] an abomination before YHWH, and you do not cause the land to sin which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance.
那麼，那休她的前夫，在她受了污辱之後，不能再娶她為妻，因為這在上主面前是可憎惡的事；你不可使上主你的天主賜給你作產業的土地陷於罪惡。
5 When a man takes a new wife, he does not go out into the host, and [one] does not pass over to him for anything; he is free at his own house [for] one year, and his wife, whom he has taken, he has made glad.
人娶了新婦，不應從軍出征，也不可派他擔任什麼職務；他應在加享受一年自由，使他新娶的妻子快活。
6 No one takes millstones and rider in pledge, for it [is one’s] life he is taking in pledge.
不可拿人的磨，或上面的一塊磨石作抵押，因為這無異是拿人的性命作抵押。
7 When a man is found stealing a person from his brothers, from the sons of Israel, and has tyrannized over him and sold him, then that thief has died, and you have put away evil out of your midst.
若發現一人拐帶了以色列子民中的一個兄弟，叫他充當奴隸，或將他販賣於人，這拐子應處死刑：這樣你由中間剷除了這邪惡。
8 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, to watch greatly, and to do according to all that the priests, the Levites, teach you; you observe to do as I have commanded them;
遇有癩病的情形，應全照肋未司祭指教你們的，謹慎遵行。我怎樣吩咐了他們，你們就怎樣遵守執行。
9 remember that which your God YHWH has done to Miriam in the way, in your coming out of Egypt.
你應記得你們出埃及後，在途中，上主你的天主對米黎盎所做的事。
10 When you lift up a debt of anything on your brother, you do not go into his house to obtain his pledge;
幾時你借給你近人什麼，不可走進他家索取抵押；
11 you stand at the outside, and the man on whom you are lifting [it] up is bringing out the pledge to you at the outside.
應站在外面，等那借貸的人把抵押給你拿出來。
12 And if he is a poor man, you do not lie down with his pledge;
倘若他是個貧苦人，你不可帶著他的抵押去睡覺。
13 you certainly give back the pledge to him at the going in of the sun, and he has lain down in his own raiment and has blessed you; and it is righteousness to you before your God YHWH.
反之，在日落時，務要將抵押還給他，好叫他睡在自己的外衣裏祝福你；這在上主你的天主面前，算是你的功德。
14 You do not oppress a hired worker, poor and needy, of your brothers or of your sojourner who is in your land within your gates;
貧苦可憐的傭工，不論是你的一個兄弟，或是你城鎮地區內的一個外方人，你不應欺壓他，
15 you give his hire in his day, and the sun does not go in on it, for he [is] poor, and he is supporting his life on it, lest he cries against you to YHWH, and it has been sin in you.
應在當天，交給他工錢，不要等到日落；因為他貧苦，他急需工錢用，免得他對你不滿而呼求上主，你就不免有罪了。
16 Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers—they are each put to death for his own sin.
不可為兒子的罪處死父親，亦不可為父親的罪處死兒子：每人應為自己的罪被處死刑。
17 You do not turn aside the judgment of a fatherless sojourner, nor take the garment of a widow in pledge;
不可侵犯外方人或孤兒的權利，不可拿寡婦的衣服作抵押；
18 and you have remembered that you have been a servant in Egypt, and your God YHWH ransoms you from there; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.
應記得你在埃及曾做過奴隸，上主你的天主曾將你由那裏救出：為此我吩咐你應遵行這條命令。
19 When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in a field, you do not return to take it; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, so that your God YHWH blesses you in all the work of your hands.
當你在田間收割莊稼時，如在田中忘下了一捆，不要再回去拾取，要留下給外方人、孤兒和寡婦，好叫上主你的天主在你做的一切事上祝福你。
20 When you beat your olive, you do not examine the branch behind you; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
當你打橄欖樹時，不要再回去打樹枝上所剩的，應留給外方人、孤兒和寡婦。
21 When you cut your vineyard, you do not glean behind you; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow;
當你收穫葡萄時，不要再摘取所剩下的，應留給外方人、孤兒和寡婦。
22 and you have remembered that you have been a servant in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.”
總應記得你在埃及地曾做過奴隸：為此我吩咐你應遵行這條命令。
