Deuteronomy 24
1 When a man taketh a wife, and marrieth her, if so be shee finde no fauour in his eyes, because hee hath espyed some filthinesse in her, then let him write her a bill of diuorcement, and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
Uba indoda ithatha umfazi, imgane, kuzakuthi nxa engatholi umusa emehlweni ayo, ngoba ifice kuye into elihlazo, kayimbhalele incwadi yesehlukaniso, ifake esandleni sakhe, imkhuphe endlini yayo.
2 And when she is departed out of his house, and gone her way, and marrie with an other man,
Nxa esephumile endlini yayo, angahamba, ayekuba ngowenye indoda.
3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a letter of diuorcement, and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house, or if the latter man die which tooke her to wife:
Uba lindoda elandelayo imzonda, imbhalele incwadi yesehlukaniso, iyifake esandleni sakhe, imkhiphe endlini yayo; loba lindoda elandelayo isifa ebimthethe waba ngumkayo,
4 Then her first husband, which sent her away, may not take her againe to be his wife, after that she is defiled: for that is abomination in the sight of the Lord, and thou shalt not cause the land to sinne, which the Lord thy God doeth giue thee to inherite.
indoda yakhe yokuqala eyamkhiphayo ingemthathe futhi abe ngumkayo, emva kokuba esengcolisiwe; ngoba kuyisinengiso phambi kweNkosi. Ngakho kawuyikwenza ilizwe lone iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona ukuba yilifa.
5 When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not goe a warfare, neither shalbe charged with any businesse, but shalbe free at home one yeere, and reioyce with his wife which he hath taken.
Nxa indoda ithethe umfazi omutsha kayiyikuphuma impi, futhi kayiyikuphathiswa laloba yiwuphi umsebenzi; izakuba sekhaya ikhululekile umnyaka owodwa ukuze ithokozise umkayo emthetheyo.
6 No man shall take the nether nor the vpper milstone to pledge: for this gage is his liuing.
Kakungabi khona ozathatha ilitshe lokucholela loba imbokodo ukuze kube yisibambiso; ngoba uthatha impilo ibe yisibambiso.
7 If any man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh marchandise of him, or selleth him, that thiefe shall die: so shalt thou put euil away from among you.
Uba umuntu eficwa eseba umuntu kubafowabo ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, amphathe njengesigqili kumbe amthengise, lelosela lizakufa. Ngalokhu uzakhupha ububi phakathi kwakho.
8 Take heede of the plague of leprosie, that thou obserue diligently, and doe according to all that the Priestes of the Leuites shall teach you: take heede ye doe as I commanded them.
Qaphela esifeni sobulephero, ukunanzelelisisa wenze njengakho konke abapristi abangamaLevi abakufundisa khona; njengalokhu ngabalaya, nanzelelani ukukwenza.
9 Remember what the Lord thy God did vnto Miriam by the way after that ye were come out of Egypt.
Khumbula lokho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho eyakwenza kuMiriyamu endleleni ekuphumeni kwenu eGibhithe.
10 Whe thou shalt aske again of thy neighbour any thing lent, thou shalt not goe into his house to fet his pledge.
Nxa useboleka umakhelwane wakho ulutho, ungangeni endlini yakhe ukuthi uthathe isibambiso sakhe.
11 But thou shalt stand without, and the man that borowed it of thee, shall bring the pledge out of the doores vnto thee.
Uzakuma phandle, lomuntu omebolekayo akukhuphele isibambiso phandle.
12 Furthermore if it be a poore body, thou shalt not sleepe with his pledge,
Njalo uba umuntu engumyanga, ungalali lesibambiso sakhe;
13 But shalt restore him the pledge when the sunne goeth downe, that he may sleepe in his raiment, and blesse thee: and it shalbe righteousnesse vnto thee before the Lord thy God.
uzabuyisela lokubuyisela isibambiso kuye lapho ilanga litshona, ukuze alale ngesembatho sakhe, akubusise; lalokho kuzakuba yikulunga kuwe phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.
14 Thou shalt not oppresse an hyred seruant that is needie and poore, neyther of thy brethren, nor of the stranger that is in thy land within thy gates.
Ungacindezeli inceku eqhatshiweyo engumyanga leswelayo, ingowabafowenu loba ingowezizweni oselizweni lakini phakathi kwamasango akho.
15 Thou shalt giue him his hire for his day, neither shall the sunne goe downe vpon it: for he is poore, and therewith susteineth his life: lest he crye against thee vnto the Lord, and it be sinne vnto thee.
Uzanika iholo layo ngosuku lwayo, lelanga kalingatshoni phezu kwalo, ngoba ingumyanga, ibeke inhliziyo yayo kulo; ukuze ingakhali eNkosini ngawe, njalo kube yisono kuwe.
16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children put to death for the fathers, but euery man shalbe put to death for his owne sinne.
Oyise kabayikubulawa ngenxa yabantwana, labantwana kabayikubulawa ngenxa yaboyise; ngulowo lalowo uzabulawa ngenxa yesakhe isono.
17 Thou shalt not peruert the right of the stranger, nor of the fatherlesse, nor take a widowes rayment to pledge.
Ungaphambuli isahlulelo sowemzini lentandane; ungathathi isembatho somfelokazi sibe yisibambiso;
18 But remember that thou wast a seruant in Egypt, and howe the Lord thy God deliuered thee thence. Therefore I commaund thee to doe this thing.
kodwa ukhumbule ukuthi wawuyisigqili eGibhithe, leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yakuhlenga khona; ngakho ngiyakulaya ukuthi wenze lolulutho.
19 When thou cuttest downe thine haruest in thy fielde, and hast forgotten a sheafe in the fielde, thou shalt not goe againe to fet it, but it shalbe for the stranger, for the fatherles, and for the widowe: that the Lord thy God may blesse thee in all the workes of thine hands.
Nxa uvuna isivuno sakho ensimini yakho, ukhohlwe isithungo ensimini, ungabuyeli ukusithatha; sizakuba ngesowemzini, esentandane lesomfelokazi; ukuze iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ikubusise emsebenzini wonke wezandla zakho.
20 When thou beatest thine oliue tree, thou shalt not goe ouer the boughes againe, but it shalbe for the stranger, for the fatherlesse, and for the widowe.
Nxa uvuthuza isihlahla sakho somhlwathi, ungayihlola izingatsha emva kwakho; kuzakuba ngokowemzini lokwentandane lokomfelokazi.
21 When thou gatherest thy vineyard, thou shalt not gather the grapes cleane after thee, but they shalbe for the stranger, for the fatherlesse, and for the widowe.
Nxa usuvunile izithelo zesivini sakho, ungakhothozi emva kwakho; kuzakuba ngokowemzini lokwentandane lokomfelokazi.
22 And remember that thou wast a seruant in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to doe this thing.
Uzakhumbula ukuthi wawuyisigqili elizweni leGibhithe; ngakho ngiyakulaya ukwenza lolulutho.
