Deuteronomy

The fifth book of Moses, called Deuteronomy, chapter 24, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 24 Vulgate

   1 Si acceperit homo uxorem et habuerit eam, et non invene rit gratiam ante oculos eius propter aliquam foeditatem, et scripserit libellum repudii dederitque in manu illius et dimiserit eam de domo sua,
   2 cumque egressa alterius uxor facta fuerit,
   3 et ille quoque oderit eam dederitque ei libellum repudii et dimiserit de domo sua, vel mortuus fuerit,
   4 non poterit prior maritus recipere eam in uxorem, quia polluta est; hoc esset abominatio coram Domino. Ne peccare facias terram tuam, quam Dominus Deus tuus tradiderit tibi possidendam.
   5 Cum acceperit homo nuper uxorem, non procedet ad bellum, nec ei quippiam necessitatis iniungetur publicae, sed vacabit liber domui suae, ut uno anno laetetur cum uxore sua.
   6 Non accipies loco pignoris molam vel superiorem lapidem molarem, quia animam suam apposuit tibi.
   7 Si deprehensus fuerit homo rapiens unum de fratribus suis de filiis Israel et, vendito eo, accipiens pretium, interficietur; et auferes malum de medio tui.
   8 Observa diligenter, si incurras plagam leprae, quaecumque docuerint vos sacerdotes levitici generis; quod praecepi eis, implete sollicite.
   9 Memento, quae fecerit Dominus Deus tuus Mariae in via, cum egrederemini de Aegypto.
   10 Cum mutuam dabis proximo tuo rem aliquam, non ingredieris domum eius, ut pignus auferas,
   11 sed stabis foris, et ille tibi pignus proferet, quod habuerit.
   12 Sin autem pauper est, non pernoctabit apud te pignus,
   13 sed statim reddes ei ad solis occasum, ut dormiens in vestimento suo benedicat tibi, et habeas iustitiam coram Domino Deo tuo.
   14 Non negabis mercedem indigentis et pauperis ex fratribus tuis sive advenis, qui tecum morantur in terra intra portas tuas,
   15 sed eadem die reddes ei pretium laboris sui ante solis occasum, quia pauper est, et illud desiderat anima sua; ne clamet contra te ad Dominum, et reputetur tibi in peccatum.
   16 Non occidentur patres pro filiis, nec filii pro patribus, sed unusquisque pro peccato suo morietur.
   17 Non pervertes iudicium advenae et pupilli nec auferes pignoris loco viduae vestimentum.
   18 Memento quod servieris in Aegypto, et eruerit te Dominus Deus tuus inde; idcirco praecipio tibi, ut facias hanc rem.
   19 Quando messueris segetem in agro tuo et oblitus manipulum reliqueris, non reverteris, ut tollas eum, sed advenam et pupillum et viduam auferre patieris, ut benedicat tibi Dominus Deus tuus in omni opere manuum tuarum.
   20 Si fruges collegeris olivarum, quidquid remanserit in arboribus, non reverteris, ut colligas, sed relinques advenae, pupillo ac viduae.
   21 Si vindemiaveris vineam tuam, non colliges remanentes racemos, sed cedent in usus advenae, pupilli ac viduae.
   22 Memento quod et tu servieris in Aegypto; et idcirco praecipio tibi, ut facias hanc rem.

King James Version

   1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
   2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
   3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
   4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
   5 ¶ When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.
   6 ¶ No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh a man's life to pledge.
   7 ¶ If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.
   8 ¶ Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.
   9 Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.
   10 ¶ When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
   11 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
   12 And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
   13 In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God.
   14 ¶ Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates:
   15 At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee.
   16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
   17 ¶ Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:
   18 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
   19 ¶ When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
   20 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
   21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
   22 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
