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;
Ọ bụrụ na nwoke akpọrọ nwanyị, lụọ ya, ma emesịa ihe nwanyị ahụ amasịkwaghị ya nʼihi na ọ dị ihe ọ chọpụtara nʼahụ ya nke na-adịghị mma, ọ ga-ede akwụkwọ alụkwaghị m nye nwanyị ahụ nʼaka, zilaa ya.
2 when she has gone out of his house, and has gone and been another man’s,
Ọ bụrụ na emesịa, nwoke ọzọ alụọ ya,
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,
ma nwoke ahụ ekpebiekwa ịgbara ya akwụkwọ achọkwaghị m, maọbụ na nwoke a mesịrị nwụọ,
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.
nwoke mbụ ahụ lụrụ nwanyị ahụ agaghị alụ ya ọzọ, nʼihi na nwanyị a abụrụla onye rụrụ arụ nye nwoke ahụ. Ọ bụkwa arụ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị ma di ya nke mbụ lụọ ya ọzọ. Ihe dị otu a ga-eweta ihe ọjọọ nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke na-enye gị dịka ihe nketa.
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.
Nwoke ọbụla lụrụ nwunye ọhụrụ agaghị apụ soro ndị agha, maọbụ soro rụọ ọrụ ọzọ pụrụ iche, otu afọ ka ọ ga-enwere onwe ya ịnọ nʼụlọ ya, ya na nwunye ya, ime onwe ha obi ụtọ.
6 No one takes millstones and rider in pledge, for it [is one’s] life he is taking in pledge.
Mmadụ agaghị ewere nkume ịkwọ nri dịka ihe ebe, nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe onye nwe ya ji achọta nri ụbọchị ya.
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.
Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla ezuru nwanna ya onye Izrel nʼohi, mesoo ya mmeso dịka ohu, maọbụ ree ya, onye ohi ahụ ga-anwụ. Nke a bụ ikpochapụ ihe ọjọọ nʼetiti gị.
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;
Gbalịsie ike ịhụ na ị na-eso iwu niile onye nchụaja, bụ onye Livayị nyere gị banyere ndị nwere ọrịa ekpenta, nʼihi na agwala m ya usoro ha ga-agbaso.
9 remember that which your God YHWH has done to Miriam in the way, in your coming out of Egypt.
Chetakwa ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị mere Miriam, mgbe i si nʼIjipt na-apụta.
10 When you lift up a debt of anything on your brother, you do not go into his house to obtain his pledge;
Ọ bụrụ na i binye mmadụ ihe ọbụla, abanyekwala nʼụlọ ya ịnata ihe a na-enye gị dị ka ihe ebe.
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.
Guzo nʼezi! Ka onye ahụ ị na-ebinye ihe wetara gị ihe ibe ahụ nʼezi.
12 And if he is a poor man, you do not lie down with his pledge;
Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ onye ogbenye na-enweghị ihe, e jidela ihe ibe ya naba ụra abalị.
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.
Weghachiri ya akwa ahụ nʼanyasị, ka onye agbataobi gị jiri ya hie ụra abalị. Mgbe ahụ ha ga-ekele gị, Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-agụkwara gị ya nʼezi omume.
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;
Emegbula nwa ogbenye mkpa na-akpa i goro ọrụ, ma onye ahụ ọ bụ nwa Izrel ma ọ bụkwanụ onye ọbịa bi nʼobodo gị.
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.
Kwụọ ya ụgwọ ya ụbọchị niile tupu anwụ adaa, nʼihi na ebe ọ bụ nwa ogbenye, obi ya dabeere nʼụgwọ ahụ ị ga-akwụ ya. Ọ bụrụ na i meghị otu a, ọ ga-akwa akwa kpọkuo Onyenwe anyị megide gị. A ga-agụkwara gị ya dịka mmehie.
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.
Agaghị eme ka ndị mụrụ ụmụ nwụọ nʼihi ihe ụmụ ha metara, maọbụ mee ka ụmụ nwụọ nʼihi ihe ndị mụrụ ha metara, onye ọbụla ga-anwụ nʼihi mmehie nke aka ya.
17 You do not turn aside the judgment of a fatherless sojourner, nor take the garment of a widow in pledge;
Ikpe ziri ezi ga-adịrị, ọ bụladị onye ọbịa na nwa mgbei, anarakwala nwanyị di ya nwụrụ anwụ uwe ya dịka ihe ibe.
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.
Cheta mgbe niile na i bụrụrị ohu nʼala Ijipt, ma Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị gbapụtara gị, nʼihi nke a ka m ji enye gị iwu ndị a.
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.
Ọ bụrụ na i lefuo ukwu ọka ụfọdụ anya mgbe ị na-ewe ihe ubi nʼubi gị, alaghachila azụ nʼubi gị ịchịrị ha. Hapụrụ ya ndị ọbịa, na ndị inyom di ha nwụrụ anwụ, na ụmụ mgbei, Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-agọzi gị, ọ ga-emekwa ka ị baa ụba.
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.
Mgbe ị na-akụtusi mkpụrụ osisi oliv gị, ejeghachila azụ nʼalaka ọbụla inyochazi ya, ịchọpụta ma ị ghọtachaala mkpụrụ niile mịrị nʼelu ha. Hapụrụ ndị ọbịa na ụmụ mgbei, na ndị inyom di ha nwụrụ mkpụrụ ọbụla fọdụrụ.
21 When you cut your vineyard, you do not glean behind you; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow;
Otu a ka ị ga-emekwa nʼihe banyere mkpụrụ ubi vaịnị gị. Atụtụkọchala mkpụrụ niile mịrị nʼelu ya. Hapụrụ ndị ọbịa, na ndị mgbei, na ndị inyom di ha nwụrụ ihe niile fọdụrụ.
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.”
Chetakwa na o nwere mgbe ị bụ ndị ohu nʼala Ijipt. Ọ bụ nʼihi ya ka m ji na-enye gị iwu a.
