< Deuteronomy 24 >
1 When a man takes a wife and marries her, if she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some unsuitable thing in her, then he must write her a certificate of divorce, put it into her hand, and send 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, she may go and be another man's wife.
Ọ bụrụ na emesịa, nwoke ọzọ alụọ ya,
3 If the second husband hates her and writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it into her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the second husband dies, the man who took her to be his wife—
ma nwoke ahụ ekpebiekwa ịgbara ya akwụkwọ achọkwaghị m, maọbụ na nwoke a mesịrị nwụọ,
4 then her former husband, the one who had first sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has become impure; for that would be an abomination to Yahweh. You must not cause the land to become guilty, the land that Yahweh your God is giving you as 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 will not go to war with the army, neither may he be commanded to go on any forced duty; he will be free to be at home for one year and will cheer his wife whom he has taken.
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 man may take a mill or an upper millstone as a pledge, for that would be taking a person's life as a pledge.
Mmadụ agaghị ewere nkume ịkwọ nri dịka ihe ebe, nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe onye nwe ya ji achọta nri ụbọchị ya.
7 If a man is found kidnapping any of his brothers from among the people of Israel, and treats him as a slave and sells him, that thief must die; and you will remove the evil from among you.
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 regarding any plague of leprosy, so that you carefully observe and follow every instruction given to you which the priests, the Levites, teach you; as I commanded them, so you will act.
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 Call to mind what Yahweh your God did to Miriam as you were coming out of Egypt.
Chetakwa ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị mere Miriam, mgbe i si nʼIjipt na-apụta.
10 When you make your neighbor any kind of loan, you must not go into his house to fetch 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 will stand outside, and the man to whom you have lent will bring the pledge outside to you.
Guzo nʼezi! Ka onye ahụ ị na-ebinye ihe wetara gị ihe ibe ahụ nʼezi.
12 If he is a poor man, you must not sleep with his pledge in your possession.
Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ onye ogbenye na-enweghị ihe, e jidela ihe ibe ya naba ụra abalị.
13 You must surely restore to him the pledge by the time the sun goes down, so that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you; it will be righteousness for you before Yahweh your God.
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 must not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is of your fellow Israelites, or of the foreigners who are in your land within your city 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 Each day you must give him his wage; the sun must not go down on this unsettled matter, for he is poor and is counting on it. Do this so that he does not cry out against you to Yahweh, and so that it not be a sin that you have committed.
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 The parents must not be put to death for their children, neither must the children be put to death for their parents. Instead, everyone must be 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 must not use force to take away the justice that is due the foreigner or the fatherless, nor take the widow's cloak as a 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 Instead, you must call to mind that you were a slave in Egypt, and that Yahweh your God rescued you from there. Therefore I instruct you to obey this command.
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 if you have forgotten an omer of grain in the field, you must not go back to get it; it must be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, or for the widow, so that Yahweh your God may bless 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 shake your olive tree, you must not go over the branches again; it will be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, or 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 gather the grapes of your vineyard, you must not glean it again. What is left over will be for the foreigner, 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 You must call to mind that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I instruct you to obey this command.
Chetakwa na o nwere mgbe ị bụ ndị ohu nʼala Ijipt. Ọ bụ nʼihi ya ka m ji na-enye gị iwu a.
