When a man takes a wife and marries her, then it shall be, if she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a certificate of divorce, put it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 Ọ bụrụ na emesịa, nwoke ọzọ alụọ ya,
When she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.

If the latter husband hates her, and writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband dies, who took her to be his wife;

her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife after she is defiled; for that would be an abomination to Yahweh. You shall not cause the land to sin, which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance.
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.
When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out in the army, neither shall he be assigned any business. He shall be free at home one year, and 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.
No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone as a pledge, for he takes a life in pledge.

If a man is found stealing any of his brothers of the children of Israel, and he deals with him as a slave, or sells him, then that thief shall die. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
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.
Be careful in the plague of leprosy, that you observe diligently and do according to all that the Levitical priests teach you. As I commanded them, so you shall observe to do.

You shall surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his garment and bless you. It shall be righteousness to you before Yahweh 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 oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the foreigners who are in your land within your gates.
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.
In his day you shall give him his wages, neither shall the sun go down on it, for he is poor and sets his heart on it, lest he cry against you to Yahweh, and it be sin to you.

The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers. Every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

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.
but you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and Yahweh your God redeemed you there. Therefore I command you to do this thing.
