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.
Όταν τις λάβη γυναίκα και νυμφευθή μετ' αυτής, και συμβή να μη εύρη χάριν εις τους οφθαλμούς αυτού, διότι εύρηκεν εν αυτή άσχημον πράγμα, τότε ας γράψη εις αυτήν γράμμα διαζυγίου, και ας δώση αυτό εις την χείρα αυτής, και ας αποπέμψη αυτήν εκ της οικίας αυτού.
2 Then suppose that she goes and marries another man,
Και αφού αναχωρήση από της οικίας αυτού, δύναται να υπάγη και να συζευχθή μετά άλλου ανδρός.
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.
Και εάν ο δεύτερος ανήρ αυτής μισήση αυτήν και γράψη εις αυτήν γράμμα διαζυγίου και δώση αυτό εις την χείρα αυτής, και αποπέμψη αυτήν από της οικίας αυτού, ή εάν αποθάνη ο δεύτερος ανήρ, ο λαβών αυτήν εις γυναίκα αυτού,
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.”
ο πρώτος αυτής ανήρ, ο αποπέμψας αυτήν, δεν δύναται να λάβη αυτήν πάλιν εις εαυτόν γυναίκα, αφού εμολύνθη· διότι είναι βδέλυγμα ενώπιον του Κυρίου· και δεν θέλεις επιφέρει αμαρτίαν εις την γην, την οποίαν Κύριος ο Θεός σου δίδει εις σε κληρονομίαν.
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.
Εάν τις νεωστί λάβη γυναίκα, δεν θέλει εξέλθει εις πόλεμον, και δεν θέλει επιφορτισθή επ' αυτόν ουδέν αλλά ελεύθερος θέλει είσθαι εν τη οικία αυτού εν έτος, και θέλει ευφράνει την γυναίκα αυτού την οποίαν έλαβε.
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.
Δεν θέλει λάβει ουδείς εις ενέχυρον την άνω ουδέ την κάτω πέτραν του μύλου· διότι ζωήν λαμβάνει εις ενέχυρον.
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.
Εάν τις φωραθή κλέπτων τινά εκ των αδελφών αυτού εκ των υιών Ισραήλ, και καταδουλώσας αυτόν επώλησε, τότε ο κλέπτης ούτος θέλει θανατόνεσθαι και θέλεις εξαφανίσει το κακόν εκ μέσου σου.
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.
Πρόσεχε εις την πληγήν της λέπρας, να φυλάττης επιμελώς και να κάμνης κατά πάντα όσα οι ιερείς οι Λευΐται σας διδάξωσι καθώς προσέταξα εις αυτούς, θέλετε προσέχει να κάμνητε.
9 Do not forget what Yahweh our God did to Miriam, [when she became a leper], after your ancestors left Egypt.
Ενθυμού τι έκαμεν εις την Μαριάμ Κύριος ο Θεός σου καθ' οδόν, αφού εξήλθετε εξ Αιγύπτου.
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].
Όταν δανείσης τι εις τον πλησίον σου, δεν θέλεις εισέλθει εις την οικίαν αυτού διά να λάβης το ενέχυρον αυτού·
11 Stand outside his house, and the man to whom you are lending something will bring the cloak out to you.
έξω θέλεις σταθή, και ο άνθρωπος εις τον οποίον δανείζεις θέλει εκφέρει εις σε το ενέχυρον.
12 But if he is poor, do not keep that cloak all night.
Και εάν ο άνθρωπος ήναι πτωχός, δεν θέλεις κοιμηθή μετά του ενεχύρου αυτού·
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.
εξάπαντος θέλεις αποδώσει εις αυτόν το ενέχυρον περί την δύσιν του ηλίου, και θέλει κοιμηθή εν τω ιματίω αυτού και θέλει σε ευλογήσει και θέλει είσθαι εις σε δικαιοσύνη ενώπιον Κυρίου του Θεού σου.
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.
Δεν θέλεις αδικήσει μισθωτόν πτωχόν και ενδεή, εκ των αδελφών σου ή εκ των ξένων σου των εν τη γη σου, εντός των πυλών σου.
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.
Αυθημερόν θέλεις δώσει τον μισθόν αυτού, πριν δύση ο ήλιος επ' αυτόν· διότι είναι πτωχός και έχει την ελπίδα αυτού εις αυτόν· διά να μη βοήση κατά σου προς Κύριον, και γείνη εις σε αμαρτία.
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.
Οι πατέρες δεν θέλουσι θανατόνεσθαι διά τα τέκνα, ούτε τα τέκνα θέλουσι θανατόνεσθαι διά τους πατέρας· έκαστος θέλει θανατόνεσθαι διά το ίδιον εαυτού αμάρτημα.
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].
Δεν θέλεις διαστρέφει την κρίσιν του ξένου, του ορφανού, ουδέ θέλεις λαμβάνει το ιμάτιον της χήρας ενέχυρον·
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].
αλλά θέλεις ενθυμείσθαι ότι δούλος εστάθης εν Αιγύπτω, και σε ελύτρωσε Κύριος ο Θεός σου εκείθεν· διά τούτο εγώ προστάζω εις σε να κάμνης το πράγμα τούτο.
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.
Όταν θερίζης το θέρος σου εν τω αγρώ σου, και λησμονήσης χειρόβολόν τι εν τω αγρώ, δεν θέλεις επιστρέψει διά να λάβης αυτό· διά τον ξένον θέλει είσθαι, διά τον ορφανόν και διά την χήραν· διά να σε ευλογή Κύριος ο Θεός σου εις πάντα τα έργα των χειρών σου.
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.
Αφού τινάξης τας ελαίας σου, δεν θέλεις πάλιν ελαιολογήσει τους κλάδους· θέλει είσθαι διά τον ξένον, διά τον ορφανόν και διά την χήραν.
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].
Αφού τρυγήσης τον αμπελώνά σου, δεν θέλεις σταφυλολογήσει πάλιν· θέλει είσθαι διά τον ξένον, διά τον ορφανόν και διά την χήραν.
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].”
Και θέλεις ενθυμείσθαι ότι δούλος εστάθης εν γη Αιγύπτου· διά τούτο εγώ προστάζω εις σε να κάμνης το πράγμα τούτο.
