Deuteronomy 24

1 “Mukul se fin payuk sin sie mutan, na tok el srungalla mweyen el konauk lah oasr ma sufal lun mutan sac, ouinge el simusla sie pwepu in fahsrelik, sang nu sin mutan sac, ac supwalla liki lohm sel.

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 favour 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 Na mutan sac fin sifil payukyak sin siena mukul,

And [if] she should go away and be married to another man;

3 ac mukul se akluo tumal el oayapa srungalla, ac el orala pac pwepu in fahsrelik, sang nu sin mutan sac, ac supwalla liki lohm sel ah. Ku fin pa mukul se tumal akluo ah misa.

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 Na ke sripen mutan sac el oan tari yurin mukul akluo timal, el tia ku in sifil payuk nu sin mukul tumal meet ah. Lumah se inge LEUM GOD El arulana srunga. Nik kowos aktaekye facl se LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos.

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 thy God, and ye shall not defile the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit.

5 “Ke sie mukul el payuk sasu, ac fah tia supweyukla el nu ke mweun, ku kuneyuk el nu ke kutena kain in kunokon lun acn uh. El sukosokla liki kutena kunokon ke yac fon se, tuh elan ku in mutana in lohm sel ac insewowo yurin mutan kial.

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 “Pacl kom ac sang enenu lun sie mwet su ngisre sum, kom fah tia eis kewana eot in ilil wheat lal in oan yurum nu ke pacl se el fah akfalye ngusr lal. Mweyen pa na ingan ma sou sacn moulkin.

Thou shalt not take for a pledge the under millstone, nor the upper millstone; for he who does so takes life for a pledge.

7 “Kutena mwet fin pisrala sie sin mwet Israel wial ac oru tuh elan mwet kohs lal, ku el kukakunulla tuh in mwet kohs lun kutena mwet, mwet pisrapasr sacn enenu in anwuki. Ma inge ac oru tuh ma koluk se inge in wanginla liki inmasrlowos.

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 shalt thou remove that evil one from yourselves.

8 “Kom fin maskin musen lepa, ku kutena mas upa ke kolo, kom enenu in oru ma nukewa mwet tol Levi elos sap kom in oru. Oru oana kas in luti ma nga sang nu selos.

Take heed to thyself in [regard of] the plague of leprosy: thou shalt 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 Esam ma LEUM GOD lom El tuh oru nu sel Miriam ke kowos tuku liki acn Egypt.

Remember all that the Lord thy God did to Mariam in the way, when ye were going out of Egypt.

10 “Ke kom sang sie ma nu sin sie mwet ke sripen ngusr lal nu sum, nik kom utyak nu in lohm sel in eis nuknuk se ma el ac sot in mwe akpwaye soemoul lal.

If thy neighbour owe thee a debt, any debt whatsoever, thou shalt not go into his house to take his pledge:

11 Mutana likinima ac soano elan sifacna usot.

thou shalt stand without, and the man who is in thy debt shall bring the pledge out to thee.

12 El fin mwet sukasrup se, nik kom sruokya nuknuk sac ke fong uh.

And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge.

13 Folokunla nu sel ke ekela, elan mau ku in nukum ke el motul. Na el ac arulana sang kulo, ac LEUM GOD lom El ac insewowo sum.

Thou shalt surely restore his pledge at sunset, and he shall sleep in his garment, and he shall bless thee; and it shall be mercy to thee before the Lord thy God.

14 “Nik kom kutasrik ac sruokya kutu molin mwet kulansap lom su sukasrup ac enenu, el finne mwet Israel se ku mwetsac se su muta in siti in facl sum.

Thou shalt not unjustly withhold the wages of the poor and needy of thy brethren, or of the strangers who are in thy cities.

15 Len nukewa meet liki faht uh tili, moleang molin orekma lal. El enenu mani sac, ac el lulalfongi lah el ac eis. Kom fin tia moli nu sel, el ac fah wowoyak lain kom nu sin LEUM GOD, na kom ac eis mwata kac.

Thou shalt 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 thee to the Lord, and it shall be sin in thee.

16 “Papa ac nina ac fah tia anwuki ke sripen ma koluk lun tulik natulos, ac tulik uh ac fah tia anwuki ke ma koluk lun papa tumalos ac nina kialos. Mwet se fah anwuki ke sripen na ma koluk lal sifacna.

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 “Nimet oru nununku sesuwos lain mwetsac ac tulik mukaimtal, oayapa nimet eis nuknuk lun sie katinmas in mwe akpwaye lah oasr soemoul lal sum.

Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of the stranger and the fatherless, and widow; thou shalt not take the widow's garment for a pledge.

18 Esam lah kowos tuh mwet kohs in facl Egypt, ac LEUM GOD lowos El tuh molikowosla, pa sis nga asot ma sap se inge nu suwos.

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed thee from thence; therefore I charge thee to do this thing.

19 “Ke pacl kom kosrani fokin ima lom ac kom sisla kutu wheat ma kom kosrala, nimet folokla in eis. Filiya na tuh in ma lun mwetsac, mwet mukaimtal ac katinmas. Ouinge LEUM GOD lom El ac fah akinsewowoye kom ke ma nukewa kom oru.

And when thou shalt have reaped corn in thy field, and shalt have forgotten a sheaf in thy field, thou shalt not return to take it; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands.

20 Ke kom tungasla tari fokin olive sunom pacl se, nimet folokla ac eis ma lula kac. Ma lula an in ma nu sin mwetsac, mwet mukaimtal, ac katinmas.

And if thou shouldest gather thine olives, thou shalt not return to collect the remainder; it shall be for the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, and thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command thee to do this thing.

21 Ke kom kosrani grape sunom pacl se meet, nik kom folokla in til pacl se akluo. Grape lula an in ma nu sin mwetsac, mwet mukaimtal ac katinmas.

And when soever thou shalt gather the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean what thou hast left; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow:

22 Kowos in tiana mulkunla lah kowos tuh mwet kohs in Egypt, pa oru nga sapkin ma inge nu suwos uh.

and thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command thee to do this thing.
