Deuteronomy 24
1 If a man takith a wijf, and hath hir, and sche fyndith not grace bifor hise iyen for sum vilite, he schal write a `libel, ethir litil book, of forsakyng, and he schal yyue in `the hond of hir, and he schal delyuere hir fro his hows.
“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 whanne sche goith out, and weddith anothir hosebonde,
妇人离开夫家以后，可以去嫁别人。
3 and he also hatith hir, and yyueth to hir a `litil booke of forsakyng, and delyuereth hir fro his hows, ethir certis he is deed,
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 the formere hosebonde schal not mow resseyue hir in to wijf, for sche is defoulid, and maad abhomynable bifore the Lord; lest thou make thi lond to do synne, which lond thi Lord God yaf to thee to welde.
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 Whanne a man hath take late a wijf, he schal not go forth to batel, nethir ony thing of comyn nede schal be enioyned to hym, but he schal yyue tent with out blame to his hows, that he be glad in o yeer with his wijf.
“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 Thou schalt not take in the stide of wed the lowere and the hiyere queerne stoon of thi brothir, for he puttide his lijf to thee.
“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 If a man is takun, `that is, conuyct in doom, bisili aspiynge to stele his brothir of the sones of Israel, and whanne he hath seeld hym, takith priys, he schal be slayn; and thou schalt do awey yuel fro the myddis of thee.
“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 Kepe thou diligentli, lest thou renne in to the sijknesse of lepre, but thou schalt do what euer thingis the preestis of the kyn of Leuy techen thee, bi that that Y comaundide to hem, and `fille thou diligentli.
“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 Haue ye mynde what thingis youre Lord God dide to Marie, in the weie, whanne ye yede `out of Egipt.
当记念出埃及后，在路上，耶和华—你 神向米利暗所行的事。
10 Whanne thou schalt axe of thi neiyebore ony thing which he owith to thee, thou schalt not entre in to his hows, that thou take awei a wed;
“你借给邻舍，不拘是什么，不可进他家拿他的当头。
11 but thou schalt stonde with out forth, and he schal brynge forth that that he hath.
要站在外面，等那向你借贷的人把当头拿出来交给你。
12 Sotheli if he is pore, the wed schal not dwelle bi nyyt at thee,
他若是穷人，你不可留他的当头过夜。
13 but anoon thou schalt yelde to hym bifor the goyng doun of the sunne, that he slepe in his cloth, and blesse thee, and thou haue riytfulnesse bifor thi Lord 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 schalt not denye the hire of thi brother nedi and pore, ethir of the comelyng that dwellith with thee in thi lond, and is with ynne thi yatis;
“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 but in the same dai thou schalt yelde to hym the prijs of his trauel, bifor the goyng doun of the sunne, for he is pore, and susteyneth therof his lijf; lest he crye ayens thee to the Lord, and it be arettid to thee into synne.
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 The fadris schulen not be slayn for the sones, nether the sones for the fadris, but ech man schal die for hys owne synne.
“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 schalt not `peruerte, ethir waiwardli turne, the doom of the comelyng, and of fadirles ethir modirles; nethir thou schalt take awei in the stide of wed the cloth of a widewe.
“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 Haue thou mynde, that thou seruedist in Egipt, and thi Lord God delyuerede thee fro thennus; therfor Y comaunde to thee that thou 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 Whanne thou repist corn in the feeld, and foryetist, and leeuest a repe, thou schalt not turne ayen to take it, but thou schalt suffre that a comelyng, and fadirles, ethir modirles, and a widewe take awei, that thi Lord God blesse thee in al the werk of thin hondis.
“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 If thou gaderist fruytis of olyues, what euer thing leeueth in trees, thou schalt not turne ayen to gadere, but thou schalt leeue to a comelyng, fadirles, ether modirles, and to a widewe.
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 If thou gaderist grapis of the vyner, thou schalt not gadere raisyns that leeuen, but tho schulen falle in to the vsis of the comelyng, of the fadirles, ethir modirles, and of the wydewe.
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 Haue thou mynde that also thou seruedist in Egipt, and therfor Y comaunde to thee, that thou 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。
