Deuteronomy 24

1 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.

「人若娶妻以後，見她有甚麼不合理的事，不喜悅她，就可以寫休書交在她手中，打發她離開夫家。

2 When she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.

婦人離開夫家以後，可以去嫁別人。

3 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;

後夫若恨惡她，寫休書交在她手中，打發她離開夫家，或是娶她為妻的後夫死了，

4 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 the LORD. You shall not cause the land to sin, which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.

打發她去的前夫不可在婦人玷污之後再娶她為妻，因為這是耶和華所憎惡的；不可使耶和華－你上帝所賜為業之地被玷污了。」

5 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.

「新娶妻之人不可從軍出征，也不可託他辦理甚麼公事，可以在家清閒一年，使他所娶的妻快活。

6 No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone as a pledge, for he takes a life in pledge.

「不可拿人的全盤磨石或是上磨石作當頭，因為這是拿人的命作當頭。

7 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.

「若遇見人拐帶以色列中的一個弟兄，當奴才待他，或是賣了他，那拐帶人的就必治死。這樣，便將那惡從你們中間除掉。

8 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.

「在大痲瘋的災病上，你們要謹慎，照祭司利未人一切所指教你們的留意遵行。我怎樣吩咐他們，你們要怎樣遵行。

9 Remember what the LORD your God did to Miriam, by the way as you came out of Egypt.

當記念出埃及後，在路上，耶和華－你上帝向米利暗所行的事。

10 When you lend your neighbor any kind of loan, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge.

「你借給鄰舍，不拘是甚麼，不可進他家拿他的當頭。

11 You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge outside to you.

要站在外面，等那向你借貸的人把當頭拿出來交給你。

12 If he is a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge.

他若是窮人，你不可留他的當頭過夜。

13 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 the LORD your God.

日落的時候，總要把當頭還他，使他用那件衣服蓋着睡覺，他就為你祝福；這在耶和華－你上帝面前就是你的義了。

14 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.

「困苦窮乏的雇工，無論是你的弟兄或是在你城裏寄居的，你不可欺負他。

15 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 the LORD, and it be sin to you.

要當日給他工價，不可等到日落－因為他窮苦，把心放在工價上－恐怕他因你求告耶和華，罪便歸你了。

16 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.

「不可因子殺父，也不可因父殺子；凡被殺的都為本身的罪。

17 You shall not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless of justice, nor take a widow’s clothing in pledge;

「你不可向寄居的和孤兒屈枉正直，也不可拿寡婦的衣裳作當頭。

18 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.

要記念你在埃及作過奴僕。耶和華－你的上帝從那裏將你救贖，所以我吩咐你這樣行。

19 When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go again to get it. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

「你在田間收割莊稼，若忘下一捆，不可回去再取，要留給寄居的與孤兒寡婦。這樣，耶和華－你上帝必在你手裏所辦的一切事上賜福與你。

20 When you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs again. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

你打橄欖樹，枝上剩下的，不可再打；要留給寄居的與孤兒寡婦。

21 When you harvest your vineyard, you shall not glean it after yourselves. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

你摘葡萄園的葡萄，所剩下的，不可再摘；要留給寄居的與孤兒寡婦。

22 You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt. Therefore I command you to do this thing.

你也要記念你在埃及地作過奴僕，所以我吩咐你這樣行。
