Deuteronomy 24
1 When a man taketh a woman, and marrieth her, then shall it be, if she find not favour in his eyes, because he hath found in her some matter of shame, that he shall write her a scroll of divorcement, and put it into her hand, and shall send her forth, 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 cometh forth out of his house, then may she go her way, and become another man’s.
妇人离开夫家以后，可以去嫁别人。
3 But if the latter husband hate her, and write her a scroll of divorcement and put it into her hand, and send her away out of his house, —or, if the latter husband die, who had taken her to him to 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 then may her first husband who sent her away not again take her to become his wife after that she hath been defiled, for that were an abomination, before Yahweh, —lest thou bring sin upon the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee 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 taketh a new wife, he shall not go forth to war, neither shall he be charged with any business, —free, shall he be for his own house one year, and shall rejoice with his wife whom he hath 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。
6 No man shall take in pledge a handmill, or an upper millstone, —for he would be taking life, in pledge.
“不可拿人的全盘磨石或是上磨石作当头，因为这是拿人的命作当头。
7 When a man is found stealing any person from among his brethren of the sons of Israel, and making merchandise of him, or selling him, then shall that thief die, so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst.
“若遇见人拐带以色列中的一个弟兄，当奴才待他，或是卖了他，那拐带人的就必治死。这样，便将那恶从你们中间除掉。
8 Take heed, in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do, —according to all that the priests the Levites shall direct you, as I have commanded them, so shall ye observe to do.
“在大麻风的灾病上，你们要谨慎，照祭司利未人一切所指教你们的留意遵行。我怎样吩咐他们，你们要怎样遵行。
9 Remember that which Yahweh thy God did to Miriam, —by the way, as ye came forth out of Egypt.
当记念出埃及后，在路上，耶和华—你 神向米利暗所行的事。
10 When thou lendest thy neighbour a loan of anything, thou shalt not enter into his house to secure his pledge:
“你借给邻舍，不拘是什么，不可进他家拿他的当头。
11 outside, shalt thou stand, and the man to whom thou art lending, shall bring forth unto thee his pledge outside,
要站在外面，等那向你借贷的人把当头拿出来交给你。
12 And, if he be a poor man, thou shalt not sleep in his pledge:
他若是穷人，你不可留他的当头过夜。
13 thou shalt, restore, to him the pledge at the going in of the sun, so shall he sleep in his own mantle, and bless thee, —and, unto thee, shall it be righteousness before Yahweh thy God.
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 Thou shalt not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy, —of thy brethren or of thy sojourners that are in thy land, within thy 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 for his day, shalt thou give his hire neither shall the sun, go in upon it, for, poor, he is, and, unto it, is he lifting up his soul, —lest he cry out against thee, unto Yahweh, and it be, in thee a sin.
要当日给他工价，不可等到日落—因为他穷苦，把心放在工价上—恐怕他因你求告耶和华，罪便归你了。
16 Fathers shall not be put to death for sons, nor shall sons, be put to death for fathers, —every man, for his own sin, shall he put to death.
“不可因子杀父，也不可因父杀子；凡被杀的都为本身的罪。
17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the sojourner [or] the fatherless, —neither shalt thou take in pledge the garment of a widow;
“你不可向寄居的和孤儿屈枉正直，也不可拿寡妇的衣裳作当头。
18 so shalt thou remember that, a servant, becamest thou in Egypt, and that Yahweh thy God, redeemed thee, from thence, —therefore, am I commanding thee 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。
19 When thou cuttest down thy harvest in thy field and forgettest a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not turn back to fetch it, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, shall it belong, —that Yahweh thy God, may bless thee, in all the Work of thy hands.
“你在田间收割庄稼，若忘下一捆，不可回去再取，要留给寄居的与孤儿寡妇。这样，耶和华—你 神必在你手里所办的一切事上赐福与你。
20 When thou beatest thine olive-tree, thou shalt not glean after thee, —to the sojourner to the fatherless and to the widow, shall it belong,
你打橄榄树，枝上剩下的，不可再打；要留给寄居的与孤儿寡妇。
21 When thou cuttest off the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not go about picking after thee, —to the sojourner to the fatherless and to the widow, shall it belong:
你摘葡萄园的葡萄，所剩下的，不可再摘；要留给寄居的与孤儿寡妇。
22 so shalt thou remember that a servant, becamest thou in the land of Egypt, —therefore, am I commending thee to do this thing.
你也要记念你在埃及地作过奴仆，所以我吩咐你这样行。
