1 “Ne ŋutsu aɖe srɔ̃ ƒe nu meganyo eŋu o la, ŋutsu la aŋlɔ srɔ̃gbegbalẽ atsɔ na srɔ̃a, eye wòanyae.
When a man taketh a wife, and marrieth her, if so be shee finde no fauour in his eyes, because hee hath espyed some filthinesse in her, then let him write her a bill of diuorcement, and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 Ne nyɔnu la gaɖe srɔ̃,
And when she is departed out of his house, and gone her way, and marrie with an other man,
3 eye srɔ̃a evelia hã gagbee alo ku la,
And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a letter of diuorcement, and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house, or if the latter man die which tooke her to wife:
4 srɔ̃ŋutsu gbãtɔ mekpɔ mɔ agaɖee o, elabena ŋutsu la do ŋunyɔ nyɔnu la kpɔ. Nu sia ahe vɔ̃ va anyigba si Yehowa, wò Mawu la le nawòm la dzi.
Then her first husband, which sent her away, may not take her againe to be his wife, after that she is defiled: for that is abomination in the sight of the Lord, and thou shalt not cause the land to sinne, which the Lord thy God doeth giue thee to inherite.
5 “Ne ŋutsu aɖe ɖe srɔ̃ eteƒe medidi o la, mègaɖoe ɖe aʋa loo alo nàde dɔ tɔxɛ aɖeke asi nɛ o. Na wòakpɔ vovo ƒe blibo ɖeka, anɔ aƒe me, eye wòakpɔ dzidzɔ kple srɔ̃a.”
When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not goe a warfare, neither shalbe charged with any businesse, but shalbe free at home one yeere, and reioyce with his wife which he hath taken.

No man shall take the nether nor the vpper milstone to pledge: for this gage is his liuing.
7 Ne ame aɖe fi nɔvia Israelvi, eye wòwɔe eƒe kluvi alo dzrae la, ele be amefila la naku ale be nu vɔ̃ naɖe ɖa le mia dome.
If any man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh marchandise of him, or selleth him, that thiefe shall die: so shalt thou put euil away from among you.
8 “Ele be nàkpɔ egbɔ be wowɔ nunɔlawo ƒe sewo dzi pɛpɛpɛ le anyidzedɔ, dɔdzĩ kple kpodɔ gome, elabena mede se siwo dzi miawɔ ɖo nyaɖenyanui la na nunɔlawo.

But thou shalt stand without, and the man that borowed it of thee, shall bring the pledge out of the doores vnto thee.
