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.
Namni tokko erga niitii fuudhee booddee yoo waan fafaa ishee irratti argee ishee jibbe, inni waraqaa ragaa hiikkaa barreessee itti kennuudhaan mana isaatii baasee ishee haa geggeessu.
2 Then suppose that she goes and marries another man,
Isheen erga mana isaatii baatee booddee yoo niitii nama biraa taate,
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.
yoo dhirsi ishee lammaffaan ishee jibbee waraqaa hiikkaa barreessee kenneefii mana isaatii ishee baase yookaan yoo inni duʼe,
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.”
dhirsi inni jalqabaa kan ishee hiike sun erga isheen xurooftee booddee deebiʼee ishee fuudhuun isaaf hin eeyyamamu. Wanni kun fuula Waaqayyoo duratti balfamaa dha. Ati biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka dhaalaatti siif kennutti cubbuu hin fidin.
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.
Namni dhiʼeenyatti niitii fuudhe tokko lafa waraanaatti hin ergamin yookaan akka hojii biraa hojjetu hin dirqamin; inni waggaa tokkoof mana ofii isaa haa turu; niitii isaas haa gammachiisu.
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.
Ati dhagaa daakuutii fi majii isaa yookaan majii isaa qofa illee taanaan akka qabdiitti hin fudhatin; kun lubbuu namaa qabdii godhanii fudhachuu taʼaatii.
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.
Namni tokko yoo obboleessa isaa kan gosa Israaʼel tokko hatee garbicha godhate yookaan gurgurate inni ajjeefamuu qaba. Ati waan hamaa gidduu keetii baasi.
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.
Waaʼee nama lamxaaʼee garuu akkuma Lewwonni luboota taʼan qajeelcha siif kennan sanatti hojjechuu kee qalbeeffadhu. Ati waan ani isaan ajaje of eeggannaadhaan duukaa buʼuu qabda.
9 Do not forget what Yahweh our God did to Miriam, [when she became a leper], after your ancestors left Egypt.
Waan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee erga isin biyya Gibxiitii baatanii booddee karaa irratti Miiriyaamitti fide sana yaadadhu.
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].
Yommuu ollaa keetiif liqii gosa kamii iyyuu kennitutti waan inni akka qabdiitti siif kennu fudhachuudhaaf mana isaa hin seenin.
11 Stand outside his house, and the man to whom you are lending something will bring the cloak out to you.
Ati ala turiitii namichi ati waa liqeessituuf sun qabdii siif kennu sana siif haa fidu.
12 But if he is poor, do not keep that cloak all night.
Yoo namni sun hiyyeessa taʼe qabdii isaa of bira hin bulchin.
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.
Akka inni kootii isaa uffatee buluuf utuu aduun hin dhiʼin deebisiif. Innis si eebbisa; wanni kun immoo fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii duratti akka hojii qajeelummaatti siif hedama.
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.
Obboleessa kee nama gosa Israaʼel yookaan alagaa magaalaawwan kee tokko keessa jiraatu illee taanaan hiyyeessa yookaan rakkataa qaxarame tokko hin saamin.
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.
Gatii inni ittiin hojjete gaafuma sana utuu aduun hin lixin kenniif; waan hiyyeessa taʼeef inni abdiidhaan eegataatii. Yoo kanaa achii inni Waaqayyoon sitti waammatee wanni kun cubbuu sitti taʼa.
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.
Abbootiin sababii ijoollee isaaniitiif ajjeefamuu hin qaban yookaan ijoolleen sababii abbootii isaaniitiif ajjeefamuu hin qaban; tokkoon tokkoon namaa sababii cubbuu ofii isaatiif duʼa.
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].
Ati murtii alagaa yookaan ijoollee abbaa hin qabnee hin jalʼisin yookaan uffata haadha hiyyeessaa qabdii hin fudhatin.
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].
Ati akka biyya Gibxitti garbicha turtee fi akka Waaqayyo Waaqni kee achii si fure yaadadhu. Wanni ani akka ati waan kana hojjettuuf si ajajuufis kanuma.
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.
Yommuu midhaan lafa qotiisaa keetii walitti qabdutti yoo bissiin hafe jiraate isaaf jettee duubatti hin deebiʼin; akka Waaqayyo Waaqni kee hojii harka keetii hundaan si eebbisuuf alagoota, ijoollee abbaa hin qabnee fi haadha hiyyeessaatiif dhiisi.
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.
Yommuu ija muka ejersa keetii harcaaftuttis kan hafe funaannachuuf jettee hin deebiʼin; waan hafe sana alagaaf, ijoollee abbaa hin qabnee fi haadha hiyyeessaatiif dhiisi.
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].
Yommuu ija iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keetii walitti qabduttis waan hafe funaannachuudhaaf hin deebiʼin. Waan hafe sana alagaadhaaf, ijoollee abbaa hin qabnee fi haadha hiyyeessaatiif dhiisi.
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].”
Ati akka Gibxitti garbicha turte yaadadhu. Wanni ani akka ati waan kana gootu si ajajuufis kanuma.
