Deutéronome 24:15

Darby's French Translation

En son jour, tu lui donneras son salaire; le soleil ne se couchera pas sur lui, car il est pauvre et son désir s'y porte; afin qu'il ne crie pas contre toi à l'Éternel et qu'il n'y ait pas du péché sur toi.

Parallel Translations

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Tu lui donneras son salaire, le jour même, avant que le soleil se couche; car il est pauvre, et son âme s'y attend; de peur qu'il ne crie contre toi à l'Éternel, et qu'il n'y ait du péché en toi.

Louis Segond (1910)
Tu lui donneras le salaire de sa journée avant le coucher du soleil; car il est pauvre, et il lui tarde de le recevoir. Sans cela, il crierait à l'Eternel contre toi, et tu te chargerais d'un péché.

La Bible David Martin (1744)
Tu lui donneras son salaire le jour même [qu'il aura travaillé], avant que le soleil se couche, car il est pauvre, et c'est à quoi son âme s'attend; afin qu'il ne crie point contre toi à l'Eternel, et que tu ne pèches point [en cela].

Gill's Notes on the Bible

At his day thou shalt give [him] his hire,.... At the close of the day, when his work is done, the hire agreed for must be paid him; and, by the same rule, all such that were hired by the week, month, or year, were to have their wages paid them at the day their time was up:

neither shall the sun go down upon it; it was to be paid before sun setting, or at it; see Leviticus 19:13;

for he [is] poor, and setteth his heart upon it; being poor, he cannot wait any longer for the payment of it; his personal and family wants are such as require immediate payment; and besides, he has been eagerly expecting it, and earnestly desiring it, that he may satisfy the craving necessities of himself and family; and therefore it would be a great balk and disappointment to him to have his wages detained:

lest he cry against thee to the Lord; having none to apply unto but him, who is the patron of the poor and needy, not being able to help himself, nor having interest in any to interpose on his behalf; and his cry, and the cry of his hire too, enter into the ears of the Lord of hosts, and is regarded by him, James 5:4;

and it be sin unto thee: be imputed to him, the guilt charged on him, and punishment inflicted for it.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Deuteronomy 24:15. He is poor, and setteth his heart upon it — How exceedingly natural is this! The poor servant who seldom sees money, yet finds from his master's affluence that it procures all the conveniences and comforts of life, longs for the time when he shall receive his wages; should his pay be delayed after the time is expired, he may naturally be expected to cry unto God against him who withholds it. See most of these subjects treated at large on Exodus 22:21-27.
