And if any one should take a wife, and should dwell with her, then it shall come to pass if she should not have found favor before him, because he has found some unbecoming thing in her, that he shall write for her a bill of divorcement, and give it into her hands, and he shall send her away out of his house.
2 Ọ bụrụ na emesịa, nwoke ọzọ alụọ ya,
And [if] she should go away and be married to another man;
3 ma nwoke ahụ ekpebiekwa ịgbara ya akwụkwọ achọkwaghị m, maọbụ na nwoke a mesịrị nwụọ,
and the last husband should hate her, and write for her a bill of divorcement; and should give it into her hands, and send her away out of his house, and the last husband should die, who took her to himself for a wife;
4 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.
the former husband who sent her away shall not be able to return and take her to himself for a wife, after she has been defiled; because it is an abomination before the Lord your God, and you shall not defile the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit.
5 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.
And if any one should have recently taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall any thing be laid upon him; he shall be free in his house; for one year he shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.
6 Mmadụ agaghị ewere nkume ịkwọ nri dịka ihe ebe, nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe onye nwe ya ji achọta nri ụbọchị ya.
You shall not take for a pledge the under millstone, nor the upper millstone; for he who does so takes life for a pledge.
7 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.
And if a man should be caught stealing one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and having overcome him he should sell him, that thief shall die; so shall you remove that evil one from yourselves.
8 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.
Take heed to yourself in [regard of] the plague of leprosy: you shall take great heed to do according to all the law, which the priests the Levites shall report to you; take heed to do, as I have charged you.
9 Chetakwa ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị mere Miriam, mgbe i si nʼIjipt na-apụta.
Remember all that the Lord your God did to Mariam in the way, when you were going out of Egypt.
10 Ọ bụrụ na i binye mmadụ ihe ọbụla, abanyekwala nʼụlọ ya ịnata ihe a na-enye gị dị ka ihe ebe.
If your neighbor owe you a debt, any debt whatever, you shall not go into his house to take his pledge:
11 Guzo nʼezi! Ka onye ahụ ị na-ebinye ihe wetara gị ihe ibe ahụ nʼezi.
you shall stand without, and the man who is in your debt shall bring the pledge out to you.
12 Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ onye ogbenye na-enweghị ihe, e jidela ihe ibe ya naba ụra abalị.
And if the man be poor, you shall not sleep with his pledge.
13 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.
You shall surely restore his pledge at sunset, and he shall sleep in his garment, and he shall bless you; and it shall be mercy to you before the Lord your God.
14 Emegbula nwa ogbenye mkpa na-akpa i goro ọrụ, ma onye ahụ ọ bụ nwa Izrel ma ọ bụkwanụ onye ọbịa bi nʼobodo gị.
You shall not unjustly withhold the wages of the poor and needy of your brethren, or of the strangers who are in your cities.
15 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.
You shall pay him his wages the same day, the sun shall not go down upon it, because he is poor and he trusts in it; and he shall cry against you to the Lord, and it shall be sin in you.
16 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.
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, and the sons shall not be put to death for the fathers; every one shall be put to death for his own sin.
17 Ikpe ziri ezi ga-adịrị, ọ bụladị onye ọbịa na nwa mgbei, anarakwala nwanyị di ya nwụrụ anwụ uwe ya dịka ihe ibe.
You shall not wrest the judgment of the stranger and the fatherless, and widow; you shall not take the widow's garment for a pledge.
18 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.
And you shall remember that you were a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you from thence; therefore I charge you to do this thing.
19 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.
And when you shall have reaped corn in your field, and shall have forgotten a sheaf in your field, you shall not return to take it; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works of your hands.
20 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.
And if you should gather your olives, you shall not return to collect the remainder; it shall be for the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, and you shall remember that you were a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this thing.
21 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.
And when soever you shall gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean what you have left; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow:
22 Chetakwa na o nwere mgbe ị bụ ndị ohu nʼala Ijipt. Ọ bụ nʼihi ya ka m ji na-enye gị iwu a.
and you shall remember that you were a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this thing.
