Deuteronomy 24

1 “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.

人妻を取てこれを娶れる後恥べき所のこれにあるを見てこれを好まずなりたらば離縁状を書てこれが手に交しこれをその家より出すべし

2 And when, having departed, she has married another,

その婦これが家より出たる後往て他の人に嫁ぐことをせんに

3 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,

後の夫もこれを嫌ひ離縁状を書てその手にわたして之を家より出し又はこれを妻にめとれるその後の夫死るあるも

4 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.

是は已に身を汚玷したるに因て之を出したるその先の夫ふたたびこれを妻にめとるべからず是ヱホバの憎みたまふ事なればなり汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へて產業となさしめたまふ地に汝罪を負すなかれ

5 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.

人あらたに妻を娶りたる時は之を軍に出すべからずまた何の職務をもこれに任すべからずその人は一年家に間居してその娶れる妻を慰むべし

6 You shall not accept an upper or lower millstone as collateral. For then he will have placed his life with you.

人その磨礱を質におくべからず是その生命をつなぐ物を質におくなればなり

7 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.

イスラエルの子孫の中なるその兄弟を拐帶してこれを使ひまたはこれを賣る人あるを見ばその拐帶者を殺し然して汝らの中より惡を除くべし

8 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.

汝癩病を愼み凡て祭司たるレビ人が汝らに敎ふる所を善く守りて行ふべし即ち我が彼らに命ぜしごとくに汝ら守りて行ふべし

9 Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam, along the way, as you were departing from Egypt.

汝らがエジプトより出きたれる路にて汝の神ヱホバがミリアムに爲たまひしところの事を誌えよ

10 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.

凡て汝の鄰に物を貸あたふる時は汝みづからこれが家にいりてその質物を取べからず

11 Instead, you shall stand outside, and he will carry out to you what he has.

汝は外に立をり汝が貸たる人その質物を外に持いだして汝に付すべし

12 But if he is poor, then the collateral shall not remain with you through the night.

その人もし困苦者ならば之が質物を留おきて睡眠に就べからず

13 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.

かならず日の入る頃その質物を之に還すべし然せばその人おのれの上衣をまとふて睡眠につくことを得て汝を祝せん是汝の神ヱホバの前において汝の義となるべし

14 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.

困苦る貧き傭人は汝の兄弟にもあれ又は汝の地にてなんぢの門の内に寄寓る他國の人にもあれ之を虐ぐべからず

15 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.

當日にこれが値をはらふべし日の入るまで延すべからず其は貧き者にてその心にこれを慕へばなり恐らくは彼ヱホバに汝を訴ふるありて汝罪を獲ん

16 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.

父はその子等の故によりて殺さるべからず子等はその父の故によりて殺さるべからず各人おのれの罪によりて殺さるべきなり

17 You shall not pervert the judgment of the new arrival or the orphan, nor shall you take away the widow’s garment as collateral.

汝他國の人または孤子の審判を曲べからずまた寡婦の衣服を質に取べからず

18 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.

汝誌ゆべし汝はエジプトに奴隸たりしが汝の神ヱホバ汝を其處より贖ひいだしたまへり是をもて我この事をなせと汝に命ずるなり

19 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.

汝田野にて穀物を刈る時もしその一束を田野に忘れおきたらば返りてこれを取べからず他國の人と孤子と寡婦とにこれを取すべし然せば汝の神ヱホバ凡て汝が手に作ところの事に祝福を降したまはん

20 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.

汝橄欖を打落す時は再びその枝をさがすべからずその遺れる者を他國の人と孤子と寡婦とに取すべし

21 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.

また葡萄園の葡萄を摘とる時はその遺れる者を再びさがすべからず他國の人と孤子と寡婦とにこれを取すべし

22 Remember that you also served in Egypt, and so, for this reason, I am instructing you to act in this way.”

汝誌ゆべし汝はエジプトの國に奴隸たりしなり是をもて我この事を爲せと汝に命ず
