Deuteronomy 24

1 If a man marries a woman, but she becomes displeasing to him because he finds some indecency in her, he may write her a certificate of divorce, hand it to her, and send her away from his house.

1 “如果有人娶妻后，发觉妻子行为不检，因而嫌弃她，他可以写休书给她，让她离开夫家。

2 If, after leaving his house, she goes and becomes another man’s wife,

2 她离开后，可以自由再婚。

3 and the second man hates her, writes her a certificate of divorce, hands it to her, and sends her away from his house, or if he dies,

3 如果她的后夫也嫌弃她，写休书给她，让她离开夫家，或者后夫死了，

4 then the husband who divorced her first may not remarry her after she has been defiled, for that is an abomination to the LORD. You must not bring sin upon the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.

4 前夫不可再娶这已被玷污的女子，因为那是耶和华所憎恶的。你们不可把这种罪恶带到你们的上帝耶和华将要赐给你们的土地上。

5 If a man is newly married, he must not be sent to war or be pressed into any duty. For one year he is free to stay at home and bring joy to the wife he has married.

5 “不可叫新婚的人从军出征或办理公务。他可以留在家里一年，使新婚的妻子快乐。

6 Do not take a pair of millstones or even an upper millstone as security for a debt, because that would be taking one’s livelihood as security.

6 “不可拿别人的磨或磨的上盘作抵押品，因为这等于拿他们的生命作抵押。

7 If a man is caught kidnapping one of his Israelite brothers, whether he treats him as a slave or sells him, the kidnapper must die. So you must purge the evil from among you.

10 When you lend anything to your neighbor, do not enter his house to collect security.

10 “如果你们借贷给同胞，不可走进他家里索取抵押物；

11 You are to stand outside while the man to whom you are lending brings the security out to you.

11 要站在外面，等他把抵押物拿出来。

12 If he is a poor man, you must not go to sleep with the security in your possession;

12 如果他是穷人，用自己的外袍作抵押，你们不可把他的外袍留到第二天，

13 be sure to return it to him by sunset, so that he may sleep in his own cloak and bless you, and this will be credited to you as righteousness before the LORD your God.

13 要在当天日落之前还给他，好让他盖着外袍睡觉。他会因此祝福你们，你们的上帝耶和华也会将此视为你们的义行。

14 Do not oppress a hired hand who is poor and needy, whether he is a brother or a foreigner residing in one of your towns.

14 “不可欺压穷苦的雇工，不论他们是你们的同胞，还是住在你们城中的外族人。

15 You are to pay his wages each day before sunset, because he is poor and depends on them. Otherwise he may cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.

15 你们要在每天日落前付给他们工钱，因为他们穷苦，靠工钱维生；否则他们向耶和华控诉你们，你们就有罪了。

16 Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.

16 “不可因孩子犯罪而处死父亲，也不可因父亲犯罪而处死孩子。各人要自负罪责。

17 Do not deny justice to the foreigner or the fatherless, and do not take a widow’s cloak as security.

17 “你们要公正地对待寄居者和孤儿，不可拿寡妇的衣物作抵押。

18 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you from that place. Therefore I am commanding you to do this.

18 要记住，你们曾在埃及做过奴隶，你们的上帝耶和华救赎了你们。所以，我吩咐你们这样行。

19 If you are harvesting in your field and forget a sheaf there, do not go back to get it. It is to be left for the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

19 “你们在田间收割庄稼时若遗落了一捆，不可回去取，要留给孤儿寡妇和寄居者。这样，你们的上帝耶和华必使你们凡事蒙福。
