申命記 24
1 「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。
“Suppose a man marries a woman and later decides that he does not want her because there is something about her that he doesn’t like. And suppose he writes on paper that he is divorcing her, and he gives the paper to her [SYN] and sends her away from his house.
2 婦人離開夫家以後，可以去嫁別人。
Then suppose that she goes and marries another man,
3 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，
and that man [later also] decides that he does not like her, and he also writes on paper that he is divorcing her, and he sends her away from his house. Or, suppose that the second husband dies.
4 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。」
If either of those things happens, her first husband must not marry her again. He must consider that she has become unacceptable to Yahweh. Yahweh would consider it to be disgusting [if he married her again]. You must not sin [MTY] by doing that in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
5 「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。
“When some man has recently become married, he must not [be required to] become a soldier in the army or be required to do any other work [for the government] for one year [after being married]. He should stay happily at home with his wife for that year.
6 「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。
“Anyone who lends money to someone else [is allowed to require that person to give him something] to guarantee [that he will pay back the money that he borrowed. But] he must not take from him his (millstone/stone for grinding grain). That would be taking [the millstone that his family needs to grind the grain to make the bread] they need to stay alive.
7 「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。
“If someone kidnaps/steals a fellow Israeli to cause that person to become his slave or to sell him [to become someone else’s slave], you must execute the person who did that. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil among you.
8 「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。
“If you are suffering from (leprosy/a dreaded skin disease), be sure to do everything that the priests, who are from the tribe of Levi, tell you to do. Obey carefully the instructions that I have given to them.
9 當記念出埃及後，在路上，耶和華－你上帝向米利暗所行的事。
Do not forget what Yahweh our God did to Miriam, [when she became a leper], after your ancestors left Egypt.
10 「你借給鄰舍，不拘是甚麼，不可進他家拿他的當頭。
“When you lend something to someone, do not go into his house to take the cloak that he says that he will give you to guarantee [that he will return what he has borrowed].
11 要站在外面，等那向你借貸的人把當頭拿出來交給你。
Stand outside his house, and the man to whom you are lending something will bring the cloak out to you.
12 他若是窮人，你不可留他的當頭過夜。
But if he is poor, do not keep that cloak all night.
13 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。
When the sun sets, take the cloak back to him, in order that he may wear it while he sleeps. If you do that, he will [ask God to] bless you, and Yahweh our God will be pleased with you.
14 「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。
“Do not mistreat any servants whom you have hired who are poor and needy [DOU], whether they are Israelis or foreigners who are living in your town.
15 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。
Every day, before sunset, you must pay/give them the money that they have earned. They are poor and they need to get their pay. If you do not pay them right away, they will cry out against you to Yahweh, and he will punish [MTY] you for having sinned like that.
16 「不可因子殺父，也不可因父殺子；凡被殺的都為本身的罪。
“Parents must not be executed for crimes that their children have committed, and children must not be executed for crimes that their parents have committed. People should be executed only for the crimes that they themselves have committed.
17 「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。
“You must [LIT] do for foreigners [who live] among you and for orphans what the laws state must be done for them. And [if you lend something to] a widow, do not take her coat from her as a guarantee [that she will return it].
18 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。
Do not forget that [you had great hardships/troubles when] you were slaves in Egypt, and Yahweh our God rescued you from there. That is why I am commanding you [to help others who have troubles].
19 「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。
“When you harvest your crops, if you have forgotten [that you left] one bundle in the field, do not go back to get it. [Leave it there] for foreigners, orphans, and widows. If you do that, Yahweh will bless you in everything that you do.
20 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。
And when you have harvested/picked all your olives from the trees once, do not go back [to pick the ones that are still] on the trees.
21 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。
[Similarly], when you pick the grapes in your vineyard, do not go back a second time [to try to find more]. Leave them for the foreigners, orphans, and widows [among you].
22 你也要記念你在埃及地作過奴僕，所以我吩咐你這樣行。
Do not forget that [Yahweh was kind to you when] you were slaves in Egypt. That is why I am commanding you [to be kind to those who are needy].”
