申命記 24
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
關於婚姻的條例
24 「如果有人娶妻後，發覺妻子行為不檢，因而嫌棄她，他可以寫休書給她，讓她離開夫家。 2 她離開後，可以自由再婚。 3 如果她的後夫也嫌棄她，寫休書給她，讓她離開夫家，或者後夫死了， 4 前夫不可再娶這已被玷污的女子，因為那是耶和華所憎惡的。你們切不可把這種罪惡帶到你們的上帝耶和華將要賜給你們的土地上。
體恤人情
5 「不可叫新婚的人從軍出征或辦理公務。他可以留在家裡一年，使新婚的妻子快樂。
6 「不可拿別人的磨或磨的上盤作抵押品，因為這等於拿他們的生命作抵押。
7 「如果有人綁架自己的同胞，奴役他或賣掉他，必須處死綁架者，除掉你們中間的罪惡。
8 「遇到痲瘋病，你們要謹遵利未祭司的指示。你們要謹遵我對他們的吩咐。 9 要記住你們離開埃及後，你們的上帝耶和華在米利暗身上的作為。
10 「如果你們借貸給同胞，不可走進他家裡索取抵押物； 11 要站在外面，等他把抵押物拿出來。 12 如果他是窮人，用自己的外袍作抵押，你們不可把他的外袍留到第二天， 13 要在當天日落之前還給他，好讓他蓋著外袍睡覺。他會因此祝福你們，你們的上帝耶和華也會將此視為你們的義行。
14 「不可欺壓窮苦的雇工，不論他們是你們的同胞，還是住在你們城中的外族人。 15 你們要在每天日落前付給他們工錢，因為他們窮苦，靠工錢維生；否則他們向耶和華控訴你們，你們就有罪了。
16 「不可因孩子犯罪而處死父親，也不可因父親犯罪而處死孩子。各人要自負罪責。
17 「你們要公正地對待寄居者和孤兒，不可拿寡婦的衣物作抵押。 18 要記住，你們曾在埃及做過奴隸，你們的上帝耶和華拯救了你們。所以，我吩咐你們這樣行。
19 「如果你們在田間收割莊稼時忘了一捆，不可回去取，要留給孤兒寡婦和寄居者。這樣，你們的上帝耶和華必使你們凡事蒙福。 20 你們打橄欖時，打過一次後不可再打，要把剩下的留給孤兒寡婦和寄居者。 21 你們摘葡萄時，摘過一次後不可再摘，要把剩下的留給孤兒寡婦和寄居者。 22 要記住，你們曾在埃及做過奴隸。所以，我吩咐你們這樣行。

New King James Version
Law Concerning Divorce
24 “When a (A)man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some [a]uncleanness in her, and he writes her a (B)certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house, 2 when she has departed from his house, and goes and becomes another man’s wife, 3 if the latter husband detests 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 as his wife, 4 (C)then her former husband who divorced her must not take her back to be his wife after she has been defiled; for that is [b]an abomination before the Lord, and you shall not bring sin on the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.
Miscellaneous Laws
5 (D)“When a man has taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war or be charged with any business; he shall be free at home one year, and (E)bring happiness to his wife whom he has taken.
6 “No man shall take the lower or the upper millstone in pledge, for he takes [c]one’s living in pledge.
7 “If a man is (F)found [d]kidnapping any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and mistreats him or sells him, then that kidnapper shall die; (G)and you shall put away the evil from among you.
8 “Take heed in (H)an outbreak of leprosy, that you carefully observe and do according to all that the priests, the Levites, shall teach you; just as I commanded them, so you shall be careful to do. 9 (I)Remember what the Lord your God did (J)to Miriam on the way when you came out of Egypt!
10 “When you (K)lend your brother anything, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge. 11 You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge out to you. 12 And if the man is poor, you shall not [e]keep his pledge overnight. 13 (L)You shall in any case return the pledge to him again when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his own garment and (M)bless you; and (N)it shall be righteousness to you before the Lord your God.
14 “You shall not (O)oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether one of your brethren or one of the aliens who is in your land within your gates. 15 Each day (P)you shall give him his wages, and not let the sun go down on it, for he is poor and has set his heart on it; (Q)lest he cry out against you to the Lord, and it be sin to you.
16 (R)“Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; a person shall be put to death for his own sin.
17 (S)“You shall not pervert justice due the stranger or the fatherless, (T)nor take a widow’s garment as a pledge. 18 But (U)you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you from there; therefore I command you to do this thing.
19 (V)“When you reap your harvest in your field, and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it; it shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that the Lord your God may (W)bless you in all the work of your hands. 20 When you beat your olive trees, you shall not go over the boughs again; it shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow. 21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean it afterward; it shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow. 22 And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this thing.

Marriage and Divorce Laws
24 “If a man marries a woman, but she becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, he may write her a divorce certificate, hand it to her, and send her away from his house.(A) 2 If after leaving his house she goes and becomes another man’s wife, 3 and the second man hates her, writes her a divorce certificate, hands it to her, and sends her away from his house or if he dies, 4 the first husband who sent her away may not marry her again after she has been defiled, because that would be detestable to the Lord. You must not bring guilt on the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.(B)
5 “When a man takes a bride, he must not go out with the army or be liable for any duty. He is free to stay at home for one year, so that he can bring joy to the wife he has married.
Safeguarding Life
6 “Do not take a pair of grindstones or even the upper millstone as security for a debt, because that is like taking a life as security.
7 “If a man is discovered kidnapping(C) one of his Israelite brothers, whether he treats him as a slave or sells him, the kidnapper must die. You must purge the evil from you.
8 “Be careful with a person who has a case of serious skin disease, following carefully everything the Levitical priests instruct you to do. Be careful to do as I have commanded them. 9 Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam on the journey after you left Egypt.(D)
Consideration for People in Need
10 “When you make a loan of any kind to your neighbor, do not enter his house to collect what he offers as security. 11 Stand outside while the man you are making the loan to brings the security out to you. 12 If he is a poor man, do not sleep with the garment he has given as security. 13 Be sure to return it[a] to him at sunset. Then he will sleep in it and bless you, and this will be counted as righteousness to you before the Lord your God.(E)
14 “Do not oppress a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether one of your Israelite brothers or one of the resident aliens in a town[b] in your land. 15 You are to pay him his wages each day before the sun sets, because he is poor and depends on them.(F) Otherwise he will cry out to the Lord against you, and you will be held guilty.
16 “Fathers are not to be put to death for their children, and children are not to be put to death for their fathers; each person will be put to death for his own sin.(G) 17 Do not deny justice to a resident alien or fatherless child, and do not take a widow’s garment as security. 18 Remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed(H) you from there. Therefore I am commanding you to do this.(I)
19 “When you reap the harvest in your field, and you forget a sheaf in the field, do not go back to get it. It is to be left for the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.(J) 20 When you knock down the fruit from your olive tree, do not go over the branches again. What remains will be for the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow. 21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, do not glean what is left. What remains will be for the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow. 22 Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt. Therefore I am commanding you to do this.(K)
