Yasa’nın Tekrarı 24

¹Eğer bir adam bir kadın alır ve onunla evlenirse, ve kadında uygunsuz bir durum bulduğu için kadın onun gözünde lütuf bulamazsa, adam onun için bir boşanma belgesi yazıp eline verecek ve onu evinden gönderecektir.

²Kadın da onun evinden ayrılıp başka bir adama varırsa,

³ve bu sonraki koca da ondan soğuyup onun için bir boşanma belgesi yazar, eline verir ve onu evinden gönderirse, ya da onu kendisi için eş olarak alan bu sonuncu koca ölürse,

⁴onu göndermiş olan ilk kocası, kadın lekelendikten sonra geri dönüp onu tekrar kendisi için eş olarak alamaz; çünkü bu, Tanrın Rab'bin önünde bir iğrençliktir. Tanrın Rab'bin miras olarak sana vermekte olduğu toprağı kirletmeyeceksiniz.

⁵Eğer bir adam yeni evlenmişse, savaşa gitmeyecek ve ona hiçbir yükümlülük yüklenmeyecektir; bir yıl boyunca evinde her türlü sorumluluktan muaf kalacak ve aldığı karısını mutlu edecektir.

⁶Hiç kimse el değirmenini ya da üst değirmen taşını rehin almasın; çünkü bunu yapan, bir canı rehin almış olur.

⁷Eğer bir adam, İsrailoğulları olan kardeşlerinden bir canı kaçırırken yakalanır ve ona zorbalık edip onu satarsa, o hırsız ölecektir; aranızdaki kötülüğü böylece söküp atacaksınız.

⁸Cüzzam lekesi konusunda kendine dikkat et; Levili kâhinlerin size bildireceği tüm yasaya tam olarak uymaya ve uygulamaya çok dikkat edin. Size buyurduğum şekilde yapmaya özen gösterin.

⁹Mısır'dan çıktığınızda, yoldayken Tanrın Rab'bin Meryem'e neler yaptığını hatırla.

¹⁰Komşuna herhangi bir borç verdiğinde, rehinini almak için onun evine girmeyeceksin.

¹¹Dışarıda bekleyeceksin ve borçlu olduğun adam rehini dışarıya, sana getirecektir.

¹²Eğer o adam yoksulsa, onun rehini üzerindeyken uyumayacaksın.

¹³Güneş batarken rehini mutlaka ona geri vereceksin ki, kendi giysisi içinde uyusun ve seni kutsasın; bu, Tanrın Rab'bin önünde senin için bir merhamet ve doğruluk eylemi sayılacaktır.

¹⁴Kardeşlerinden ya da kentlerinde yaşayan yabancılardan olan yoksul ve muhtaç işçinin ücretini gasp etmeyeceksin.

¹⁵Ücretini aynı gün, güneş batmadan önce vereceksin; çünkü o yoksuldur ve umudunu ona bağlamıştır. Yoksa sana karşı Rab'be feryat eder ve bu senin için günah olur.

¹⁶Babalar çocukların yerine öldürülmeyecek, çocuklar da babaların yerine öldürülmeyecektir; herkes kendi günahı için öldürülecektir.

¹⁷Yabancının, öksüzün ve dulun davasında adaleti saptırmayacaksın; dul kadının giysisini de rehin almayacaksın.

¹⁸Mısır ülkesinde köle olduğunu ve Tanrın Rab'bin seni oradan fidyeyle kurtardığını hatırlayacaksın; bu yüzden bu sözü yerine getirmeni sana buyuruyorum.

¹⁹Tarlanda hasadı biçtiğinde, tarlada bir demet unutursan, onu almak için geri dönmeyeceksin; o yabancıya, öksüze ve dul kadına kalacaktır ki, Tanrın Rab ellerinin bütün işlerinde seni kutsasın.

²⁰Zeytinlerini topladığında, arkanda kalanları tekrar devşirmek için geri dönmeyeceksin; onlar yabancıya, öksüze ve dul kadına kalacaktır. Mısır ülkesinde köle olduğunu hatırlayacaksın; bu yüzden bu sözü yerine getirmeni sana buyuruyorum.

²¹Bağının üzümlerini topladığında, arkanda kalanları tekrar devşirmeyeceksin; onlar yabancıya, öksüze ve dul kadına kalacaktır.

²²Mısır ülkesinde köle olduğunu hatırlayacaksın; bu yüzden bu sözü yerine getirmeni sana buyuruyorum.

¹ΕΑΝ δέ τις λάβῃ γυναῖκα καὶ συνοικήσῃ αὐτῇ, καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν μὴ εὕρῃ χάριν ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, ὅτι εὗρεν ἐν αὐτῇ ἄσχημον πρᾶγμα, καὶ γράψει αὐτῇ βιβλίον ἀποστασίου καὶ δώσει εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς καὶ ἐξαποστελεῖ αὐτὴν ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ,

²καὶ ἀπελθοῦσα γένηται ἀνδρὶ ἑτέρῳ,

³καὶ μισήσῃ αὐτὴν ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ ἔσχατος καὶ γράψει αὐτῇ βιβλίον ἀποστασίου καὶ δώσει εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς καὶ ἐξαποστελεῖ αὐτὴν ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ, ἢ ἀποθάνῃ ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ ἔσχατος, ὃς ἔλαβεν αὐτὴν ἑαυτῷ γυναῖκα,

⁴οὐ δυνήσεται ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ πρότερος ὁ ἐξαποστείλας αὐτὴν ἐπαναστρέψας λαβεῖν αὐτὴν ἑαυτῷ γυναῖκα, μετὰ τὸ μιανθῆναι αὐτήν, ὅτι βδέλυγμά ἐστιν ἐναντίον Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου· καὶ οὐ μιανεῖτε τὴν γῆν, ἣν Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου δίδωσί σοι ἐν κλήρω.

⁵᾿Εὰν δέ τις λάβῃ γυναῖκα προσφάτως, οὐκ ἐξελεύσεται εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ οὐκ ἐπιβληθήσεται αὐτῷ οὐδὲν πρᾶγμα· ἀθῷος ἔσται ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἐνιαυτὸν ἕνα, εὐφρανεῖ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, ἣν ἔλαβεν.

⁶Οὐκ ἐνεχυράσεις μύλον, οὐδὲ ἐπιμύλιον, ὅτι ψυχὴν οὗτος ἐνεχυράζει.

⁷᾿Εὰν δὲ ἁλῷ ἄνθρωπος κλέπτων ψυχὴν ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ καταδυναστεύσας αὐτὸν ἀποδῶται, ἀποθανεῖται ὁ κλέπτης ἐκεῖνος· καὶ ἐξαρεῖς τὸν πονηρὸν ἐξ ὑμῶν αὐτῶν.

⁸Πρόσεχε σαυτῷ ἐν τῇ ἁφῇ τῆς λέπρας· φυλάξῃ σφόδρα ποιεῖν κατὰ πάντα τὸν νόμον, ὃν ἂν ἀναγγείλωσιν ὑμῖν οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ Λευῖται· ὃν τρόπον ἐνετειλάμην ὑμῖν, φυλάξασθε ποιεῖν.

⁹μνήσθητι ὅσα ἐποίησε Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου τῇ Μαριὰμ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, ἐκπορευομένων ὑμῶν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου.

¹⁰᾿Εὰν ὀφείλημα ᾖ ἐν τῷ πλησίον σου, ὀφείλημα ὁτιοῦν, οὐκ εἰσελεύσῃ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ ἐνεχυράσαι τὸ ἐνέχυρον αὐτοῦ·

¹¹ἔξω στήσῃ, καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗ τὸδάνειόν σού ἐστιν ἐν αὐτῷ, ἐξοίσει σοι τὸ ἐνέχυρον ἔξω.

¹²ἐὰν δὲ ὁ ἄνθρωπος πένηται, οὐ κοιμηθήσῃ ἐν τῷ ἐνεχύρῳ αὐτοῦ·

¹³ἀποδόσει ἀποδώσεις τὸ ἐνέχυρον αὐτοῦ πρὸς δυσμὰς ἡλίου, καὶ κοιμηθήσεται ἐν τῷ ἱματίῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ εὐλογήσει σε, καὶ ἔσται σοι ἐλεημοσύνη ἐναντίον Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου.

¹⁴Οὐκ ἀπαδικήσεις μισθὸν πένητος καὶ ἐνδεοῦς ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν σου ἢ ἐκ τῶν προσηλύτων τῶν ἐν ταῖς πόλεσί σου·

¹⁵αὐθημερὸν ἀποδώσεις τὸν μισθὸν αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἐπιδύσεται ὁ ἥλιος ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ, ὅτι πένης ἐστὶ καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ ἔχει τὴν ἐλπίδα· καὶ καταβοήσεται κατὰ σοῦ πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ ἔσται ἐν σοὶ ἁμαρτία.

¹⁶Οὐκ ἀποθανοῦνται πατέρες ὑπὲρ τέκνων, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ οὐκ ἀποθανοῦνται ὑπὲρ πατέρων· ἕκαστος ἐν τῇ ἑαυτοῦ ἁμαρτίᾳ ἀποθανεῖται.

¹⁷Οὐκ ἐκκλινεῖς κρίσιν προσηλύτου καὶ ὀρφανοῦ καὶ χήρας, οὐκ ἐνεχυράσεις ἱμάτιον χήρας·

¹⁸καὶ μνησθήσῃ ὅτι οἰκέτης ἦσθα ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ ἐλυτρώσατό σε Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου ἐκεῖθεν· διὰ τοῦτο ἐγώ σοι ἐντέλλομαι ποιεῖν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο.

¹⁹᾿Εὰν δὲ ἀμήσῃς ἀμητὸν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ σου καὶ ἐπιλάθῃ δράγμα ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ σου, οὐκ ἀναστραφήσῃ λαβεῖν αὐτό· τῷ προσηλύτῳ καὶ τῷ ὀρφανῷ καὶ τῇ χήρᾳ ἔσται, ἵνα εὐλογήσῃ σε Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν σου.

²⁰ἐὰν δὲ ἐλαιολογῇς, οὐκ ἐπαναστρέψεις καλαμήσασθαι τὰ ὀπίσω σου· τῷ προσηλύτῳ καὶ τῷ ὀρφανῷ καὶ τῇ χήρᾳ ἔσται καὶ μνησθήσῃ ὅτι οἰκέτης ἦσθα ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, διὰ τοῦτο ἐγώ σοι ἐντέλλομαι ποιεῖν τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο.

²¹ἐὰν δὲ τρυγήσῃς τὸν ἀμπελῶνά σου, οὐκ ἐπανατρυγήσεις αὐτὸν τὰ ὀπίσω σου· τῷ προσηλύτῳ καὶ τῷ ὀρφανῷ καὶ τῇ χήρᾳ ἔσται·

²²καὶ μνησθήσῃ ὅτι οἰκέτης ἦσθα ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, διὰ τοῦτο ἐγώ σοι ἐντέλλομαι ποιεῖν τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο.

¹And if any one should take a wife, and should dwell with her, then it shall come to pass if she should not have found favour before him, because he has found some unbecoming thing in her, that he shall write for her a bill of divorcement, and give it into her hands, and he shall send her away out of his house.

²And [if] she should go away and be married to another man;

³and the last husband should hate her, and write for her a bill of divorcement; and should give it into her hands, and send her away out of his house, and the last husband should die, who took her to himself for a wife;

⁴the former husband who sent her away shall not be able to return and take her to himself for a wife, after she has been defiled; because it is an abomination before the Lord thy God, and ye shall not defile the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit.

⁵And if any one should have recently taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall any thing be laid upon him; he shall be free in his house; for one year he shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.

⁶Thou shalt not take for a pledge the under millstone, nor the upper millstone; for he who does so takes life for a pledge.

⁷And if a man should be caught stealing one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and having overcome him he should sell him, that thief shall die; so shalt thou remove that evil one from yourselves.

⁸Take heed to thyself in [regard of] the plague of leprosy: thou shalt take great heed to do according to all the law, which the priests the Levites shall report to you; take heed to do, as I have charged you.

⁹Remember all that the Lord thy God did to Mariam in the way, when ye were going out of Egypt.

¹⁰If thy neighbour owe thee a debt, any debt whatsoever, thou shalt not go into his house to take his pledge:

¹¹thou shalt stand without, and the man who is in thy debt shall bring the pledge out to thee.

¹²And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge.

¹³Thou shalt surely restore his pledge at sunset, and he shall sleep in his garment, and he shall bless thee; and it shall be mercy to thee before the Lord thy God.

¹⁴Thou shalt not unjustly withhold the wages of the poor and needy of thy brethren, or of the strangers who are in thy cities.

¹⁵Thou shalt pay him his wages the same day, the sun shall not go down upon it, because he is poor and he trusts in it; and he shall cry against thee to the Lord, and it shall be sin in thee.

¹⁶The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, and the sons shall not be put to death for the fathers; every one shall be put to death for his own sin.

¹⁷Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of the stranger and the fatherless, and widow; thou shalt not take the widow’s garment for a pledge.

¹⁸And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed thee from thence; therefore I charge thee to do this thing.

¹⁹And when thou shalt have reaped corn in thy field, and shalt have forgotten a sheaf in thy field, thou shalt not return to take it; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands.

²⁰And if thou shouldest gather thine olives, thou shalt not return to collect the remainder; it shall be for the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, and thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command thee to do this thing.

²¹And whensoever thou shalt gather the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean what thou hast left; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow:

²²and thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command thee to do this thing.
