5 Mose 24
1 Sɛ ɔbarima ware yere na sɛ nʼani nnye ne ho bio, ɛfiri sɛ wahunu ade bɔne bi wɔ ne ho, na sɛ ɔtwerɛ awaregyaeɛ krataa de ma no, na ɔpamoo no firi ne fie,
When a man has taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favor in his eyes, because he has found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorce, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 na ɔfiri fie hɔ na ɔbarima foforɔ kɔware no,
And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.
3 na ne kunu a ɔtɔ so mmienu no gyaa no anaa sɛ ɔwu a,
And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorce, and gives it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
4 ne kunu a ɔdi ɛkan a ɔgyaa no no nni ho ɛkwan sɛ ɔware no bio, ɛfiri sɛ, wagu ne ho fi. Ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ wɔ Awurade ani so. Mommfa afɔbuo mma asase a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de rema mo sɛ agyapadeɛ no so.
Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and you shall not cause the land to sin, which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.
5 Sɛ ɔbarima aware foforɔ a, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔde no kɔ ɔko anaasɛ nso wɔde dwuma bi die to no so. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtena fie afe a ɔnyɛ adwuma biara sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbɛma ne yere foforɔ a waware no no anya ahotɔ.
When a man has taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he has taken.
6 Obi nnye adeyam boba kɛseɛ no ne ne ketewa no anaa adeyam boba ketewa no nko ara awowa, ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ ɛyɛ ne dea no, ɛno ho na ɔdidi.
No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he takes a man’s life to pledge.
7 Sɛ obi kyere ne yɔnko Israelni na ɔdi no nya sɛ ɔdɔnkɔ anaa ɔtɔn no a, ɛsɛ sɛ onyadifoɔ no wuo. Ɛsɛ sɛ motu bɔne ase firi mo mu.
If a man be found stealing any of his brothers of the children of Israel, and makes merchandise of him, or sells him; then that thief shall die; and you shall put evil away from among you.
8 Monhwɛ honam ani nsaneyadeɛ nyinaa yie na monni ɛho mmara a Lewifoɔ asɔfoɔ bɛkyerɛ mo no so; monni mmara a mahyɛ ama mo no so.
Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that you observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so you shall observe to do.
9 Monkae deɛ ɛberɛ a mofiri Misraim reba no Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, yɛɛ Miriam.
Remember what the LORD your God did to Miriam by the way, after that you were come forth out of Egypt.
10 Sɛ wode biribi fɛm wo yɔnko a, nkɔ wo yɔnko fie nkɔgye awowasideɛ.
When you do lend your brother any thing, you shall not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
11 Gyina afikyire na ɔyɔnko a ɔfɛm wʼadeɛ no de awowasideɛ no bɛbrɛ wo.
You shall stand abroad, and the man to whom you do lend shall bring out the pledge abroad to you.
12 Sɛ ɔyɔnko no yɛ ohiani na ɔwɔ ntoma baako a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde si wo awowa a, nkora ntoma no nkɔsi adekyeeɛ.
And if the man be poor, you shall not sleep with his pledge:
13 Fa ntoma no kɔma wo yɔnko no owiatɔberɛ sɛdeɛ ɔde bɛda na wahyira wo. Na Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, bɛka sɛ woayɛ wo nyamedwuma na wahyira wo.
In any case you shall deliver him the pledge again when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless you: and it shall be righteousness to you before the LORD your God.
14 Nhyɛ ɔpaani mmɔborɔni a ɔyɛ wo nua Israelni anaa ɔhɔhoɔ a ɔte mo nkuro baako mu no so.
You shall not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of your brothers, or of your strangers that are in your land within your gates:
15 Tua nʼapaadeɛ ma no ɛda biara ansa na owia akɔtɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ ohiani na nʼani da saa akatua no so. Anyɛ saa a, ɔbɛsu afrɛ Awurade atia wo, na wobɛdi bɔne ho fɔ.
At his day you shall give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down on it; for he is poor, and sets his heart on it: lest he cry against you to the LORD, and it be sin to you.
16 Ɛnsɛ sɛ mma bɔne bi a wɔayɛ enti wɔkum wɔn awofoɔ de si anan. Saa ara nso na ɛnsɛ sɛ awofoɔ bɔne bi a wɔayɛ enti wɔkum wɔn mma de si anan. Wɔn a owuo sɛ wɔn no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum wɔn wɔ wɔn ankasa bɔne ano.
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.
17 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbu ahɔhoɔ a wɔte mo mu no ne nwisiaa atɛntenenee, na ɛnsɛ sɛ mogye okunafoɔ ɔbaa ntoma de si ɛka a ɔde ho awowa.
You shall not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow’s raiment to pledge:
18 Daa monkae sɛ, na mo nso moyɛ nkoa wɔ Misraim na Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, na ɔgyee mo. Ɛno enti na mede saa mmara yi ama mo no.
But you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you there: therefore I command you to do this thing.
19 Sɛ woretwa wʼafuo mu nnɔbaeɛ, na wo werɛ firi afi bi wɔ afuom hɔ a, nsane nkɔfa. Gya wɔ hɔ ma ahɔhoɔ, awisiaa anaa akunafoɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛhyira mo nsa ano nnwuma nyinaa so.
When you cut down your harvest in your field, and have forgot a sheaf in the field, you shall not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
20 Sɛ wote wo ngo nnua so aba a, nkɔ so mprenu. Gya aba no a aka so no ma ahɔhoɔ, nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ.
When you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
21 Saa nso na wote wo bobe nturo so aba a, nkɔ so mprenu. Gya aba a aka wɔ so no ma ahɔhoɔ, nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ.
When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
22 Monkae sɛ, moyɛɛ nkoa wɔ Misraim. Ɛno enti na mehyɛ mo sɛ monyɛ yei no.
And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt: therefore I command you to do this thing.
