Sib nrauj

¹Thaum tus txivneej twg yuav tau pojniam tiamsis tsis txaus siab rau tus pojniam vim yog paub tias nws poob koob lawm, mas tus txiv ua ntawv nrauj cev rau tus pojniam ntawd txhais tes thiab ntiab nws tawm hauv tsev mus mas nws thiaj li tawm mus. ²Yog tus pojniam ntawd ho mus yuav dua txiv ³thiab tus txiv tom qab ntawd tsis nyiam nws thiab ua ntawv nrauj cev rau nws txhais tes thiab ntiab nws tawm hauv tsev mus, lossis yog tus txiv ntawd tuag lawm kuj xij, ⁴mas tus qub txiv uas nrauj nws tawm mus ntawd rov yuav tsis tau tus pojniam uas qias tsis huv ntawd lawm, vim yog tej uas qias vuab tsuab rau Yawmsaub. Koj tsis txhob ua rau lub tebchaws uas koj tus Vajtswv Yawmsaub muab pub ua qub txeeg qub teg rau koj muaj txim.
⁵Thaum leejtwg nyuam qhuav yuav tau pojniam mas tsis txhob kheev tus ntawd mus ntaus rog lossis ua nom tswv li haujlwm. Cia nws nyob ib xyoos hauv tsev kom thiaj li ua rau nws tus pojniam uas nws yuav tau ntawd zoo siab.⚓

Tej kevcai

⁶Tsis txhob kheev leejtwg muab luag hwm zeb los nias nqe cia tsis hais txhib txiv lossis txhib niam, rau qhov nws muab yam uas yug lawv txojsia los nias lawm.
⁷Yog leejtwg raug luag ntes vim yog nws nyiag ib tug kwvtij Yixayee coj mus ua qhev lossis coj mus muag mas tus tub sab ntawd yuav tsum raug muab tua. Ua li no nej thiaj li rhuav tshem tau tej kev phem tawm hauv nej mus.
⁸Nej yuav tsum ceev faj tej kev mob lig mob ruas, yuav tsum ceev faj ua txhua yam raws li cov Levi uas ua pov thawj qhia nej. Nej yuav tsum ceev faj ua raws li uas kuv twb hais rau lawv lawd. ⁹Nej cia li nco txog tej uas nej tus Vajtswv Yawmsaub tau ua rau Mili‑as thaum uas nej taug kev tawm hauv Iyi tebchaws los.
¹⁰Thaum koj muab ib yam dabtsi txais rau kwvtij zej zog, mas tsis txhob nkag mus rau hauv nws lub tsev thiab muab yam uas nws muab yuam nqe rau koj. ¹¹Koj nyob sab nraud tos mas tus uas txais ntawd mam li coj yam uas muab yuam nqe ntawd tuaj rau koj. ¹²Yog nws pluag mas tsis txhob khaws yam uas nws muab yuam ntawd cia es txawm mus pw. ¹³Thaum hnub poob qho koj cia li muab lub tsho ntev thim rov rau nws, kom nws thiaj li tau hnav rau thaum uas pw thiab foom hmoov rau koj. Ua li no thiaj yog koj ua ncaj rau ntawm Yawmsaub uas yog koj tus Vajtswv xubntiag.
¹⁴Koj tsis txhob quab yuam tus tub zog uas pluag thiab txom nyem, tsis hais yog koj li kwvtij lossis lwm haiv neeg uas nyob hauv koj lub tebchaws rau hauv koj tej moos. ¹⁵Koj yuav tsum them hnub ntawd li nqe zog rau nws ua ntej hnub poob qho, rau qhov nws pluag thiab tos ntsoov tus nqe zog ntawd, tsam ces nws yuav yws koj rau Yawmsaub ces koj yuav muaj txim.
¹⁶Leejtxiv yuav tsis ris nws tej menyuam lub txim tuag, thiab tej menyuam yuav tsis ris leej txiv lub txim tuag. Cia txhua tus nyias ris nyias lub txim tuag.
¹⁷Koj tsis txhob yuam lwm haiv neeg uas nrog nej nyob thiab tej menyuam uas tsis muaj txiv txojcai thiab tsis txhob muab tej poj ntsuam li tsoos tsho coj los yuam nqe. ¹⁸Koj yuav tsum nco ntsoov tias nej txeev ua qhev nyob hauv Iyi tebchaws thiab Yawmsaub uas yog nej tus Vajtswv txhiv nej tawm qhov ntawd los. Vim li ntawd kuv thiaj hais kom koj ua li no.
¹⁹Thaum koj sau qoob, yog tshuav qee teg sau tsis txhua, koj tsis txhob rov qab mus sau dua. Cia li tseg cia rau lwm haiv neeg uas nrog nej nyob thiab tej menyuam uas tsis muaj txiv thiab tej poj ntsuam, xwv koj tus Vajtswv Yawmsaub thiaj li foom koob hmoov rau tej haujlwm uas koj txhais tes ua huvsi. ²⁰Thaum koj nplawm txiv ntoo aulib, koj tsis txhob rov de zaum ob, yuav tseg cia rau lwm haiv neeg uas nrog nej nyob thiab tej menyuam uas tsis muaj txiv thiab tej poj ntsuam.
²¹Thaum de txiv hmab hauv nej tej vaj, tsis txhob rov mus xawb de dua, yuav tseg tej uas tshuav ntawd cia rau lwm haiv neeg uas nrog nej nyob thiab tej menyuam uas tsis muaj txiv thiab tej poj ntsuam. ²²Koj yuav tsum nco ntsoov tias koj txeev ua qhev nyob hauv Iyi tebchaws. Vim li ntawd kuv thiaj hais kom koj ua li no.

Law Concerning Divorce

¹“When a ⚓man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some uncleanness in her, and he writes her a ⚓certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house, ²when she has departed from his house, and goes and becomes another man’s wife, ³if 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⚓then her former husband who divorced her must not take her back to be his wife after she has been defiled; for that is 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⚓“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 ⚓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 one’s living in pledge.
⁷“If a man is ⚓found kidnapping any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and mistreats him or sells him, then that kidnapper shall die; ⚓and you shall put away the evil from among you.
⁸“Take heed in ⚓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⚓Remember what the Lord your God did ⚓to Miriam on the way when you came out of Egypt!
¹⁰“When you ⚓lend your brother anything, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge. ¹¹You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge out to you. ¹²And if the man is poor, you shall not keep his pledge overnight. ¹³⚓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 ⚓bless you; and ⚓it shall be righteousness to you before the Lord your God.
¹⁴“You shall not ⚓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. ¹⁵Each day ⚓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; ⚓lest he cry out against you to the Lord, and it be sin to you.
¹⁶⚓“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⚓“You shall not pervert justice due the stranger or the fatherless, ⚓nor take a widow’s garment as a pledge. ¹⁸But ⚓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⚓“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 ⚓bless you in all the work of your hands. ²⁰When you beat your olive trees, you shall not go over the boughs again; it shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow. ²¹When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean it afterward; it shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow. ²²And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this thing.
