Behold, he has accused her of shameful things, saying, ‘I didn’t find in your daughter the tokens of virginity;’ and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity.” They shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

The elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him.

They shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the young lady, because he has given a bad name to a virgin of Israel. She shall be his wife. He may not put her away all his days.
20 Ma ọ bụrụ na ebubo nwoke ahụ bụ eziokwu, na achọpụtaghị ihe gosiri na nwaagbọghọ ahụ amaghị nwoke.
But if this thing is true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the young lady,

then they shall bring out the young lady to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done folly in Israel, to play the prostitute in her father’s house. So you shall remove the evil from amongst 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 lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both die, the man who lay with the woman and the woman. So you shall remove the evil from Israel.
23 Ma ọ bụrụ na nwaagbọghọ na-amaghị nwoke a na-alụ alụ na nwoke ọzọ edinakọọ nʼime obodo,
If there is a young lady who is a virgin pledged to be married to a husband, and a man finds her in the city, and lies with her,
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 shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones; the lady, because she didn’t cry, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbour’s wife. So you shall remove the evil from amongst 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.
But if the man finds the lady who is pledged to be married in the field, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall 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.
but to the lady you shall do nothing. There is in the lady no sin worthy of death; for as when a man rises against his neighbour and kills him, even so is this matter;
27 A pụrụ ị sị na nwaagbọghọ ahụ tiri mkpu ma ọ dịghị onye nọ ịnapụta ya.
for he found her in the field, the pledged to be married lady cried, and there was no one to save 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 finds a lady who is a virgin, who is not pledged to be married, grabs her and lies with her, and they are found,
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.
then the man who lay with her shall give to the lady’s father fifty shekels of silver. She shall be his wife, because he has humbled her. He may not put her away all his days.
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 shall not take his father’s wife, and shall not uncover his father’s skirt.
