Deuteronomy 24
1 “Suppose a man marries a woman and later decides that he does not want her because there is something about her that he doesn’t like. And suppose he writes on paper that he is divorcing her, and he gives the paper to her [SYN] and sends her away from 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 Then suppose that she goes and marries another man,
而這女子走出了他的家，又去嫁給了另一人為妻，
3 and that man [later also] decides that he does not like her, and he also writes on paper that he is divorcing her, and he sends her away from his house. Or, suppose that the second husband dies.
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 If either of those things happens, her first husband must not marry her again. He must consider that she has become unacceptable to Yahweh. Yahweh would consider it to be disgusting [if he married her again]. You must not sin [MTY] by doing that in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
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 some man has recently become married, he must not [be required to] become a soldier in the army or be required to do any other work [for the government] for one year [after being married]. He should stay happily at home with his wife for that year.
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 “Anyone who lends money to someone else [is allowed to require that person to give him something] to guarantee [that he will pay back the money that he borrowed. But] he must not take from him his (millstone/stone for grinding grain). That would be taking [the millstone that his family needs to grind the grain to make the bread] they need to stay alive.
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 “If someone kidnaps/steals a fellow Israeli to cause that person to become his slave or to sell him [to become someone else’s slave], you must execute the person who did that. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil among you.
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 “If you are suffering from (leprosy/a dreaded skin disease), be sure to do everything that the priests, who are from the tribe of Levi, tell you to do. Obey carefully the instructions that I have given to 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 Do not forget what Yahweh our God did to Miriam, [when she became a leper], after your ancestors left 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 lend something to someone, do not go into his house to take the cloak that he says that he will give you to guarantee [that he will return what he has borrowed].
幾時你借給你近人什麼，不可走進他家索取抵押；
11 Stand outside his house, and the man to whom you are lending something will bring the cloak out to you.
應站在外面，等那借貸的人把抵押給你拿出來。
12 But if he is poor, do not keep that cloak all night.
倘若他是個貧苦人，你不可帶著他的抵押去睡覺。
13 When the sun sets, take the cloak back to him, in order that he may wear it while he sleeps. If you do that, he will [ask God to] bless you, and Yahweh our God will be pleased with you.
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 “Do not mistreat any servants whom you have hired who are poor and needy [DOU], whether they are Israelis or foreigners who are living in your town.
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 Every day, before sunset, you must pay/give them the money that they have earned. They are poor and they need to get their pay. If you do not pay them right away, they will cry out against you to Yahweh, and he will punish [MTY] you for having sinned like that.
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 “Parents must not be executed for crimes that their children have committed, and children must not be executed for crimes that their parents have committed. People should be executed only for the crimes that they themselves have committed.
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 must [LIT] do for foreigners [who live] among you and for orphans what the laws state must be done for them. And [if you lend something to] a widow, do not take her coat from her as a guarantee [that she will return it].
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 Do not forget that [you had great hardships/troubles when] you were slaves in Egypt, and Yahweh our God rescued you from there. That is why I am commanding you [to help others who have troubles].
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 harvest your crops, if you have forgotten [that you left] one bundle in the field, do not go back to get it. [Leave it there] for foreigners, orphans, and widows. If you do that, Yahweh will bless you in everything that you do.
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 And when you have harvested/picked all your olives from the trees once, do not go back [to pick the ones that are still] on the trees.
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 [Similarly], when you pick the grapes in your vineyard, do not go back a second time [to try to find more]. Leave them for the foreigners, orphans, and widows [among you].
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 Do not forget that [Yahweh was kind to you when] you were slaves in Egypt. That is why I am commanding you [to be kind to those who are needy].”
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。
