Deuteronomy 24
1 Bí ọkùnrin kan bá fẹ́ obìnrin kan, tí ó sì gbe ní ìyàwó, yóò sì ṣe, bí obìnrin náà kò bá rí ojúrere ní ojú ọkùnrin náà, nítorí ó rí ohun àìtọ́ kan lára rẹ̀, ǹjẹ́ kí ó kọ ìwé ìkọ̀sílẹ̀ fún obìnrin náà, kí ó sì fi lé e lọ́wọ́, kí ó sì ran jáde kúrò nínú ilé rẹ̀,
“If a man takes a wife, and he has her, and she does not find favor before his eyes because of some vileness, then he shall write a bill of divorce, and he shall give it to her hand, and he shall dismiss her from his house.
2 tí ó bá di ìyàwó ọkùnrin mìíràn lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó kúrò nílé rẹ,
And when, having departed, she has married another,
3 àti tí ọkọ rẹ̀ kejì kò bá fẹ́ràn rẹ̀ tí ó sì kọ ìwé-ẹ̀rí ìkọ̀sílẹ̀ sí i, kí ó fi fún un kí ó sì lé e kúrò nílé e rẹ̀, tàbí tí ọkọ rẹ̀ kejì bá kú,
and if he likewise hates her, and has given her a bill of divorce, and has dismissed her from his house, or if indeed he has died,
4 nígbà náà ni ọkọ, tí ó ti kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀, kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ ẹ mọ́ lẹ́yìn tí ó ti di àìmọ́. Nítorí èyí ni ìríra níwájú Olúwa. Má ṣe mú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wá sórí ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò fi fún ọ bí ogún.
then the former husband cannot take her back as a wife. For she has been polluted and has become abominable in the sight of the Lord. Otherwise, you may cause your land, which the Lord your God will deliver to you as a possession, to sin.
5 Bí ọkùnrin kan bá ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ gbéyàwó, o kò gbọdọ̀ ran lọ sí ogun tàbí kí ó ní iṣẹ́ kan láti ṣe. Ó ní láti ní òmìnira fún ọdún kan kí ó dúró sílé kí ó sì mú inú dídùn bá ìyàwó rẹ̀ tí ó fẹ́.
When a man has recently taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, nor shall any public office be enjoined upon him. Instead, he shall be free at home without guilt, so that for one year he may rejoice with his wife.
6 Ẹnikẹ́ni kò gbọdọ̀ gba ìyá ọlọ tàbí ọmọ ọlọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun ìdúró fún gbèsè, nítorí pé ẹ̀mí ènìyàn ni ó gbà ní pàṣípàrọ̀ n nì.
You shall not accept an upper or lower millstone as collateral. For then he will have placed his life with you.
7 Bí a bá mú ọkùnrin kan tí ó jí ọ̀kan nínú arákùnrin rẹ̀ ní Israẹli gbé àti tí ó jí ọ̀kan nínú ẹrú tàbí kí ó tà á, ẹni tí ó jí ènìyàn gbé ní láti kú. Ẹ ní láti wẹ búburú kúrò láàrín yín.
If a man has been caught soliciting his brother among the sons of Israel, and selling him in order to receive a price, then he shall be put to death. And so shall you take away the evil from your midst.
8 Ní ti ààrùn ẹ̀tẹ̀ kíyèsára láti máa ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn àlùfáà tí wọ́n jẹ́ ọmọ Lefi ti pàṣẹ fún ọ. O ní láti máa fi ìṣọ́ra tẹ̀lé ohun tí mo ti pàṣẹ fún wọn.
Observe diligently, lest you incur the wound of leprosy. But you shall do whatever the priests of the Levitical stock shall teach you to do, according to what I have instructed them. And you shall fulfill it carefully.
9 Rántí ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ṣe sí Miriamu lójú ọ̀nà lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí o jáde kúrò ní Ejibiti.
Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam, along the way, as you were departing from Egypt.
10 Nígbà tí o bá wín arákùnrin rẹ ní ohunkóhun, má ṣe lọ sí ilé rẹ̀ láti gba ohun tí ó bá mú wá bí ẹ̀rí.
When you require from your neighbor anything that he owes to you, you shall not enter into his house in order to take away the collateral.
11 Dúró síta gbangba kí o sì jẹ́ kí ọkùnrin tí o wín mú ògo rẹ jáde wá fún ọ.
Instead, you shall stand outside, and he will carry out to you what he has.
12 Bí ọkùnrin náà bá jẹ́ tálákà má ṣe lọ sùn ti ìwọ ti ògo rẹ.
But if he is poor, then the collateral shall not remain with you through the night.
13 Dá aṣọ ìlekè rẹ padà ní àṣálẹ́ kí ó bá à le sùn lórí i rẹ̀. Nígbà náà ni yóò dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ rẹ, ó sì máa jásí ìwà òdodo níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ.
Instead, you shall return it to him promptly, before the setting of the sun, so that, sleeping in his own garment, he may bless you, and you may have justice in the presence of the Lord your God.
14 Má ṣe ni alágbàṣe kan lára tí ó jẹ́ tálákà àti aláìní, bóyá ó jẹ́ arákùnrin Israẹli tàbí àlejò tí ó ń gbé ní ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ìlú rẹ.
You shall not refuse the pay of the indigent and the poor, whether he is your brother, or he is a new arrival who dwells with you in the land and is within your gates.
15 San owó iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ kan náà kí ó tó di àṣálẹ́, nítorí ó jẹ́ tálákà, ó sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé e bí kò ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ ó lè ké pe Olúwa sí ọ, o sì máa gba ìdálẹ́bi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.
Instead, you shall pay him the price of his labor on the same day, before the setting of the sun. For he is poor, and with it he sustains his life. Otherwise, he may cry out against you to the Lord, and it would be charged to you as a sin.
16 Baba kò gbọdọ̀ kú fún àwọn ọmọ wọn tàbí kí àwọn ọmọ kú fún baba wọ́n; olúkúlùkù ní láti kú fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ òun tìkára rẹ̀.
The fathers shall not be put to death on behalf of the sons, nor the sons on behalf of the fathers, but each one shall die for his own sin.
17 Má ṣe yí ìdájọ́ po fún àlejò tàbí aláìní baba, tàbí gba aṣọ ìlekè opó bí ẹ̀rí.
You shall not pervert the judgment of the new arrival or the orphan, nor shall you take away the widow’s garment as collateral.
18 Rántí pé o jẹ́ ẹrú ní Ejibiti tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ sì gbà ọ́ níbẹ̀. Ìdí nìyí tí mo fi pa á láṣẹ fún ọ láti ṣe èyí.
Remember that you served in Egypt, and that the Lord your God rescued you from there. Therefore, I am instructing you to act in this way.
19 Nígbà tí o bá ń kórè oko rẹ tí o sì fojú fo ìtí kan, má ṣe padà lọ mú u. Fi í kalẹ̀ fún àwọn àlejò, aláìní baba àti opó, kí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ lè bùkún fún gbogbo iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ ọ̀ rẹ.
When you have reaped the grain in your field, and, having forgotten, you leave behind a sheaf, you shall not return to take it away. Instead, you shall permit the new arrival, and the orphan, and the widow to take it away, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works of your hands.
20 Nígbà tí o bá ń gun igi olifi lára àwọn igi i rẹ, má ṣe padà lọ sí ẹ̀ka náà ní ìgbà kejì. Fi èyí tí ó kù fún àlejò, aláìní baba àti opó.
If you have gathered the fruit of your olive trees, you shall not return in order to gather whatever may remain on the trees. Instead, you shall leave it behind for the new arrival, the orphan, and the widow.
21 Nígbà tí ìwọ bá kórè èso àjàrà nínú ọgbà àjàrà rẹ, má ṣe lọ sí ọgbà náà mọ́. Fi èyí tí ó kù fún àlejò, aláìní baba àti opó.
If you harvest the vintage of your vineyard, you shall not gather the remaining clusters. Instead, they shall fall to the use of the stranger, the orphan, and the widow.
22 Rántí pé ìwọ ti jẹ́ àlejò ní Ejibiti. Ìdí nìyí tí mo fi pa á láṣẹ fún ọ láti ṣe èyí.
Remember that you also served in Egypt, and so, for this reason, I am instructing you to act in this way.”
