לָא תְמַשְׁכְּנוּן רֵיחַיָא וְרִיכְבַּיָא אֲרוּם צוֹרְכֵי נַפְשָׁא הוּא מְמַשְׁכַּן: וְלָא תֶהֱוַון אִיסוּרֵי חַתְנִין וְכַלִּין אֲרוּם כָּל דַּעֲבַד אִילֵין כְּפַר בְּחַיֵּי עַלְמָא דְאָתֵי:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

You shall not take the upper and lower millstones for a pledge; for the pledge is a necessary of life. Nor shall there be unlawful conjoinments of bridegrooms and brides; for what such produce is denied the life of the world to come.

מַחֲזוֹרָא תַּחֲזוֹר לֵיהּ יַת מַשְׁכּוֹנָא כְּמֵיעַל שִׁימְשָׁא וְאִידְמוֹךְ בְּאִיסְטַלְיָתֵיהּ וִיבָרִיךְ יָתָךְ וְלָךְ תֶּהֱוֵי זְכוּ קֳדָם יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

Thou shalt certainly return the pledge to him as the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his garment, and may bless thee and to thee it shall be righteousness before the Lord thy God.

לָא תַעֲצוּן אַגְרָא דַאֲגִירָא מִסְכֵּינָא וּצְרִיכָא מִן אֲחוּכוֹן:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

You shall not willfully keep back the wages of the poor and needy of your brethren.

בְּיוֹמֵיהּ תִּתֵּן אַגְרֵיהּ וְלָא תִטְמוֹעַ עֲלוֹהִי שִׁמְשָׁא אֲרוּם מִסְכֵּין הוּא וּמִן בְּגִין אַגְרָא הוּא סָבָל לֵיהּ יַת נַפְשֵׁיהּ וְלָא יִצְוַח עֲלֵיכוֹן קֳדָם יְיָ אִיזְדַּהֲרוּ דְלָא יֶהֱוֵי בְּכוֹן חוֹבָא:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

In his day thou shalt pay his wages, nor let the sun go down upon them; for he is poor, and by means of his hire he sustaineth his life: that he may not cry against thee before the Lord: so beware that it become not guilt in you.

אֲרוּם תִּתְרוּן זֵיתֵיכוֹן לָא תִתְבַּקְרוּן יַתְהוֹן מִן בָּתַר כֵּן לְגִיּוֹרָא לְיַתְמָא וּלְאַרְמְלָא יְהוֹן:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

When you beat your olive trees, search them not afterward; let them be for the stranger, the orphan, and the widow.

אֲרוּם תִּקְטְפוּן כַּרְמֵיכוֹן לָא תְבַעֲרוּ טוֹטְלָוַתְהוֹן מִבָּתַר כֵּן לְגִיּוֹרָא לְיַתְמָא וּלְאַרְמַלְתָּא יֶהֱווֹן:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

When you gather your vines, search not their branches afterwards; let them be for the stranger and the widow.
