1 When a man hath taken a wyfe and maried her, yf she finde no fauoure in his eyes, because he hath spied some vnclennesse in her. Then let him write her a bylle of devorcement and put it in hir hande and sende her out of his housse. “When a man takes a wife and marries her, if then she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, and she departs out of his house, If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house,
2 Yf when she is departed out of his housse, she goo and be another mans wife and if she goes and becomes another man’s wife, and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man,
3 and the seconde husbonde hate her and write her a letter of deuorcement and put it in hir hande and sende her out of his housse, or yf the seconde man dye whiche toke her to wyfe. and the latter man hates her and writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter man dies, who took her to be his wife, and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies,
4 Hir first man whiche sent hir awaye maye not take her agayne to be his wyfe, in as moche as she is defiled. For that is abhominacyon in the syght of the Lorde: that thou defile not the lode with synne, which the Lorde thy God geueth the to enherett. then her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has been defiled, for that is an abomination before the LORD. And you shall not bring sin upon the land that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance. then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the LORD. Do not bring sin upon the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
5 When a man taketh a newe wyfe, he shall not goo a warrefare nether shalbe charged wyth any busynesse: but shalbe fre at home one yere and reioyse with his wife whiche he hath taken. “When a man is newly married, he shall not go out with the army or be liable for any other public duty. He shall be free at home one year to be happy with his wife whom he has taken. If a man has recently married, he must not be sent to war or have any other duty laid on him. For one year he is to be free to stay at home and bring happiness to the wife he has married.
6 No ma shall take the nether or the vpper milstone to pledge, for then he taketh a mans lyfe to pledge. “No one shall take a mill or an upper millstone in pledge, for that would be taking a life in pledge. Do not take a pair of millstones—not even the upper one—as security for a debt, because that would be taking a person’s livelihood as security.
7 Yf any man be founde stealynge any of his brethern the childern of Israel, ad maketh cheuesaunce of him or selleth him, the thefe shall dye. And thou shalt put euell awaye from the. “If a man is found stealing one of his brothers of the people of Israel, and if he treats him as a slave or sells him, then that thief shall die. So you shall purge the evil from your midst. If someone is caught kidnapping a fellow Israelite and treating or selling them as a slave, the kidnapper must die. You must purge the evil from among you.
8 Take hede to thy selfe as concernynge the p lage of leprosye, that thou obserue diligently to doo acordinge to all that the preastes the leuites shall theach the, as I commaunded them so ye shall obserue to doo. “Take care, in a case of leprous disease, to be very careful to do according to all that the Levitical priests shall direct you. As I commanded them, so you shall be careful to do. In cases of defiling skin diseases, be very careful to do exactly as the Levitical priests instruct you. You must follow carefully what I have commanded them.
9 Remembre what the Lorde thy God dyd vnto Mir Iam by the waye, after that ye were come out off Egipte. Remember what the LORD your God did to Miriam on the way as you came out of Egypt. Remember what the LORD your God did to Miriam along the way after you came out of Egypt.
10 Yf thou lende thy brother any maner soker, thou shalt not goo in to his housse to fetche a pledge: “When you make your neighbor a loan of any sort, you shall not go into his house to collect his pledge. When you make a loan of any kind to your neighbor, do not go into their house to get what is offered to you as a pledge.
11 but shalt stonde without and the man to whom thou lendest, shall brynge the the pledge out at the dore. You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you make the loan shall bring the pledge out to you. Stay outside and let the neighbor to whom you are making the loan bring the pledge out to you.
12 Forthermore yf it be a pore body, goo not to slepe with his pledge: And if he is a poor man, you shall not sleep in his pledge. If the neighbor is poor, do not go to sleep with their pledge in your possession.
13 but delyuer hym the pledge agayne by that the sonne goo doune, and let him slepe in his owne rayment and blesse the. And it shalbe rightuousnes vnto the, before the Lorde thy God. You shall restore to him the pledge as the sun sets, that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you. And it shall be righteousness for you before the LORD your God. Return their cloak by sunset so that your neighbor may sleep in it. Then they will thank you, and it will be regarded as a righteous act in the sight of the LORD your God.
14 Thou shalt not defraude an hyred servaunte that is nedye and poore, whether he be off thy brethern or a straunger that is in thy lond within thy cities. “You shall not oppress a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the sojourners who are in your land within your towns. Do not take advantage of a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether that worker is a fellow Israelite or a foreigner residing in one of your towns.
15 Geue him his hyre the same daye, and let not the sonne goo doune thereon. For he is nedye ad therewith susteyneth his life, lest he crye agenst the vnto the Lorde ad it be synne vnto the. You shall give him his wages on the same day, before the sun sets (for he is poor and counts on it), lest he cry against you to the LORD, and you be guilty of sin. Pay them their wages each day before sunset, because they are poor and are counting on it. Otherwise they may cry to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.
16 The fathers shal not dye for the childern nor the childern for the fathers: but euery ma shall dye for his awne synne. “Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin. Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin.
17 Hynder not the right of the straunger nor of the fatherlesse, nor take wedowes rayment to pledge. “You shall not pervert the justice due to the sojourner or to the fatherless, or take a widow’s garment in pledge, Do not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless of justice, or take the cloak of the widow as a pledge.
18 But remembre that thou wast a servaunte in Egipte, ad how the Lord thy God delyuered the thece. Wherfore I comaude the to doo this thinge. but 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. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and the LORD your God redeemed you from there. That is why I command you to do this.

It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it. Leave it for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
20 When thou beatest doune thyne olyue, trees thou shalt not make cleane riddaunce after the: but it shalbe for the straunger, the fatherlesse and the wedowe. When you beat your olive trees, you shall not go over them again. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow. When you beat the olives from your trees, do not go over the branches a second time. Leave what remains for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow.
21 And when thou gatherest thy vyneyarde, thou shalt not gather cleane after the: but it shalbe for the straunger, the fatherlesse and the wedowe. When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not strip it afterward. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow. When you harvest the grapes in your vineyard, do not go over the vines again. Leave what remains for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow.
22 And remembre that thou wast a seruaunte in the lond of Egipte: wherfore I comaunde the to doo this thinge. You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt. That is why I command you to do this.
