申命記 25
1 「人若有爭訟，來聽審判，審判官就要定義人有理，定惡人有罪。
If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgment, and the judges judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked;
2 惡人若該受責打，審判官就要叫他當面伏在地上，按着他的罪照數責打。
and it shall be if the wicked man deserves to be beaten, that the judge shall make him lie down and be beaten in his presence with a number of stripes, according to his guilt.
3 只可打他四十下，不可過數；若過數，便是輕賤你的弟兄了。
He may give him forty stripes and no more. Otherwise, if he should go on and beat him with more stripes than these, your brother will be humiliated in your eyes.
4 「牛在場上踹穀的時候，不可籠住牠的嘴。」
You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
5 「弟兄同居，若死了一個，沒有兒子，死人的妻不可出嫁外人，她丈夫的兄弟當盡弟兄的本分，娶她為妻，與她同房。
If brothers dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and take her to him as wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her.
6 婦人生的長子必歸死兄的名下，免得他的名在以色列中塗抹了。
It shall be, that the firstborn whom she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name not be blotted out of Israel.
7 那人若不願意娶他哥哥的妻，他哥哥的妻就要到城門長老那裏，說：『我丈夫的兄弟不肯在以色列中興起他哥哥的名字，不給我盡弟兄的本分。』
If the man doesn't want to take his brother's wife, then his brother's wife shall go up to the gate to the elders, and say, "My husband's brother refuses to raise up to his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband's brother to me."
8 本城的長老就要召那人來問他，他若執意說：『我不願意娶她』，
Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him: and if he stand, and say, "I do not want to take her";
9 他哥哥的妻就要當着長老到那人的跟前，脫了他的鞋，吐唾沫在他臉上，說：『凡不為哥哥建立家室的都要這樣待他。』
then his brother's wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say, "So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother's house."
10 在以色列中，他的名必稱為脫鞋之家。」
His name shall be called in Israel, The house of him who has his shoe untied.
11 「若有二人爭鬥，這人的妻近前來，要救她丈夫脫離那打她丈夫之人的手，抓住那人的下體，
When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him who strikes him, and puts forth her hand, and takes him by the private parts;
12 就要砍斷婦人的手，眼不可顧惜她。
then you shall cut off her hand, your eye shall have no pity.
13 「你囊中不可有一大一小兩樣的法碼。
You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, a great and a small.
14 你家裏不可有一大一小兩樣的升斗。
You shall not have in your house diverse measures, a great and a small.
15 當用對準公平的法碼，公平的升斗。這樣，在耶和華－你上帝所賜你的地上，你的日子就可以長久。
You shall have a perfect and just weight. You shall have a perfect and just measure, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
16 因為行非義之事的人都是耶和華－你上帝所憎惡的。」
For all who do such things, all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD your God.
17 「你要記念你們出埃及的時候，亞瑪力人在路上怎樣待你。
Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came forth out of Egypt;
18 他們在路上遇見你，趁你疲乏困倦擊殺你儘後邊軟弱的人，並不敬畏上帝。
how he met you by the way, and struck the hindmost of you, all who lagged behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he did not fear God.
19 所以耶和華－你上帝使你不被四圍一切的仇敵擾亂，在耶和華－你上帝賜你為業的地上得享平安。那時，你要將亞瑪力的名號從天下塗抹了，不可忘記。」
Therefore it shall be, when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies all around, in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky; you shall not forget.
