If you see someone's cow or sheep wandering around, don't just ignore it. Make sure you take it back to its owner.

If its owner doesn't live near you, or if you don't know who it is, take the animal home with you and keep it until the owner comes looking, then you can return it.

Do the same for whatever else you find that someone has lost—a donkey, a cloak, anything. Don't just ignore it.

If you see someone's donkey or cow that has fallen down on the road, don't just ignore it. Help lift it up.

A woman must not wear men's clothing, and a man must not wear women's clothing. Anyone who does this offends the Lord your God.

If you happen to find a bird's nest with chicks or eggs, whether it's in a tree or on the ground beside the road, and the mother is sitting on the chicks or eggs, don't take the mother with the young.
7 Hapụ nne nnụnụ ka ọ laa, ma were naanị ụmụ ya. Ihe ga-agakwara gị nke ọma nʼihi ya, ị ga-enwekwa ndụ ogologo.
You may take the young, but make sure you let the mother go, so that you will do well and have a good long life.

When you build a new house, be sure to install a railing around your roof, so that you won't be held guilty if someone dies falling from it.

Don't plant your vineyard with another kind of crop. Otherwise everything you produce—the crop you planted and the fruit of your vineyard—must be dedicated to the Lord.
10 Ejikọla ehi na ịnyịnya ibu maka ịdọ ihe e ji akọ ala ubi.
Don't harness an ox and a donkey together when you plow.

Put tassels on the hem of the cloak you use to cover yourself.
13 Ọ bụrụ na nwoke alụọ nwaagbọghọ, mesie mgbe o dinakwuru ya kpebie nʼobi ya na ọ chọkwaghị ịlụ ya ọzọ,
If a man marries a woman and sleeps with her, but ends up hating her,
14 ọ bụrụ na nwoke a ekwutọọ nwaagbọghọ ahụ, mebie aha ya kwuo na nwaagbọghọ ahụ amatalarị nwoke tupu ha abụọ alụọ,
and accuses her of being immoral, giving her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman and slept with her, but I found out she wasn't a virgin.”
15 nne nwaagbọghọ ahụ, na nna ya, ga-ewere ihe ga-egosi na nwa ha amabeghị nwoke gaa nʼihu ndị okenye obodo ahụ, nʼọnụ ụzọ ama.
The woman's parents are to bring the proof of her virginity to the elders at the town gate,
16 Nna nwaagbọghọ ahụ ga-agwa ndị okenye, “Enyere m nwoke a nwa m nwanyị dịka nwunye, ma ugbu a, ọ chọkwaghị ịlụ ya.
and the father will explain to them, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he has ended up hating her.
17 Ugbu a, o boola ya ebubo ihere, sị, ‘Achọpụtaghị m ihe ọbụla nʼahụ nwa gị nwanyị a ihe na-egosi na ọ maghị nwoke.’ Ma nke a bụ ihe ngosi na ada anyị amaghị nwoke.” Mgbe ahụ ndị mụrụ ya ga-agbasapụ akwa ahụ nʼihu ndị okenye obodo ahụ.
Now he has accused her of being immoral, saying, ‘I found out that your daughter wasn't a virgin.’ But here's the proof of her virginity.” The parents shall spread out the sheet in front of the town elders.
18 Ndị okenye obodo ahụ ga-akpọrọ nwoke nyekwa ya ahụhụ.
Then the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him.
19 Ha ga-emekwa ya ka ọ kwụọ nna nwaagbọghọ ahụ narị shekel ọlaọcha, nʼihi na o boro nwaagbọghọ Izrel na-amaghị nwoke ebubo ụgha. Nwaagbọghọ ahụ ga-anọgide bụrụ nwunye nwoke ahụ. Nwoke ahụ agaghị achụpụkwa ya ụbọchị ndụ ya niile.
They shall also fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give the money to the young woman's father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She is to remain his wife; he is not allowed to divorce her as long as he lives.
20 Ma ọ bụrụ na ebubo nwoke ahụ bụ eziokwu, na achọpụtaghị ihe gosiri na nwaagbọghọ ahụ amaghị nwoke.
But if the accusation is true, and there's no proof of the woman's virginity,
21 A ga-eduru nwaagbọghọ ahụ pụta nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nna ya, nʼebe ahụ ka ndị ikom obodo ya ga-anọ were nkume tugbuo ya. Nʼihi na o mere ihe ihere jọgburu onwe ya nʼIzrel, site nʼibi ndụ akwụna mgbe ọ ka nọ nʼụlọ nne ya na nna ya. Ị ghaghị ikpochapụ ihe ọjọọ ahụ site nʼetiti unu.
she is to be taken to the door of her father's house, and there the men of her town are to stone her to death. She has done something disgraceful in Israel by acting immorally in her father's house. You must eliminate the evil from among you.
22 Ọ bụrụ na e jide nwoke ebe ya na nwunye onye ọzọ dina, ma nwoke ahụ dinara ya ma nwanyị ahụ o dinara aghaghị ịnwụ. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ị ga-ekpochapụ ihe ọjọọ a site nʼIzrel.
If a man is found sleeping with someone else's wife, both the man and the woman must die. You must eliminate the evil from Israel.
23 Ma ọ bụrụ na nwaagbọghọ na-amaghị nwoke a na-alụ alụ na nwoke ọzọ edinakọọ nʼime obodo,
If a man meets a girl, a virgin engaged to another man, and sleeps with her there in the town,
24 ya na nwoke ahụ ka a ga-eduru gaa nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo, were nkume tugbuo ha nʼebe ahụ, ka ha nwụọ, nwaagbọghọ ahụ ga-anwụ nʼihi na o tighị mkpu, ma nwoke ahụ ga-anwụ nʼihi na o mebiela nwunye nwoke ibe ya na-achọ ịlụ. Unu aghaghị ikpochapụ ihe ọjọọ site nʼetiti unu.
then you must take both of them to the town gate and stone them to death. The young woman is guilty because she did not cry out for help in the town, and the man is guilty because he has brought shame on someone else's fiancée. You must eliminate the evil from among you.
25 Ma ọ bụrụ na nwoke ezute nwaagbọghọ na-amaghị nwoke a na-alụ alụ nʼọhịa, were ike mee ka ha abụọ dina, ọ bụ naanị nwoke ahụ ga-anwụ.
However, if the man happens to meet a woman who is engaged out in the countryside, and he attacks her and rapes her, only the man has to die.
26 Aka nwaagbọghọ ahụ dị ọcha, ọ dịghị mmehie o mere nke ikpe ọnwụ ji adịrị ya, nʼihi na ọnọdụ ya dị ka ọnọdụ mmadụ ahụ onye iro ya bịakwasịrị na mberede gbuo ya.
Don't do anything to the woman, because she has not committed a sin punishable by death. (This is the same kind of situation as when a man attacks someone else and murders them.)
27 A pụrụ ị sị na nwaagbọghọ ahụ tiri mkpu ma ọ dịghị onye nọ ịnapụta ya.
When the man raped the woman who was engaged out in the countryside, she shouted out, but there wasn't anyone there to rescue her.
28 Ọ bụrụ na nwoke ọbụla ejiri ike jide nwaagbọghọ na-amaghị nwoke, nke nwoke ọbụla na-ekwebeghị nkwa ịlụ, mee ka ha abụọ dinaa,
If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not engaged, and he grabs her and rapes her, and someone sees them,
29 nwoke ahụ ga-akwụ nna nwaagbọghọ ahụ iri shekel ọlaọcha ise. Ọ ga-alụkwa nwaagbọghọ ahụ nʼihi na o mebiela ya. Ọ gakwaghị achụpụ ya ụbọchị niile nke ndụ ya.
the man must pay the woman's father fifty shekels of silver, and he must marry her because he has brought shame on her. He is not allowed to divorce her as long as he lives.
30 Nwoke ọbụla agaghị alụ nwunye nna ya, nʼihi na ọ bụ nwunye nna ya. Ime ihe dị otu a bụ imerụ ihe ndina nna ya.
A man must not marry his father's wife, so that he won't bring shame on his father.
