Ponovljeni zakon 25
1 Kad nastane svađa među ljudima i dođu na sud da im se sudi, neka se dade pravo onome koji je prav, a krivac neka se osudi.
And if there should be a dispute between men, and they should come forward to judgment, and [the judges] judge, and justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked:
2 Ako krivac zasluži da bude išiban, neka mu sudac naredi da legne i tu pred njim neka mu odbroje onoliko udaraca koliko odgovara njegovoj krivnji.
then it shall come to pass, if the unrighteous should be worthy of stripes, you shall lay him down before the judges, and they shall scourge him before them according to his iniquity.
3 Do četrdeset udaraca može mu se dati, ali ne više, da modrica ne bi bila prevelika te se ne bi ponizio tvoj brat pred tobom kad bi mu udarali više udaraca.
And they shall scourge him with forty stripes in number, they shall not inflict more; for if you should scourge him [with] more stripes beyond these stripes, your brother will be disgraced before you.
4 Ne zavezuj usta volu kad vrše.
You shall not muzzle the ox that treads out the corn.
5 Kad braća stanuju zajedno pa jedan od njih umre a da nije imao sina, žena pokojnoga neka se ne preudaje izvan kuće, nego neka k njoj pristupi njezin djever i uzme je sebi za ženu te izvrši djeversku dužnost.
And if brethren should live together, and one of them should die, and should not have seed, the wife of the deceased shall not marry out [of the family] to a man not related: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and shall take her to himself for a wife, and shall dwell with her.
6 A prvi sin koga ona rodi neka ostane na ime njegova pokojnoga brata da njegovo ime ne izumre u Izraelu.
And it shall come to pass that the child which she shall bear, shall be named by the name of the deceased, and his name shall not be blotted out of Israel.
7 Ako, međutim, onaj čovjek ne želi da se oženi svojom snahom, onda njegova snaha neka dođe na vrata pred starješine i kaže: 'Neće djever moj da sačuva ime bratu svome u Izraelu; neće da mi učini djeversku dužnost.'
And if the man should not be willing to take his brother's wife, then shall the woman go up to the gate to the elders, and she shall say, My husband's brother will not raise up the name of his brother in Israel, my husband's brother has refused.
8 Neka ga pozovu starješine njegova grada i pitaju. Bude li uporan i kaže: 'Ne želim se njom ženiti',
And the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him; and if he stand and say, I will not take her:
9 neka njegova snaha k njemu pristupi na oči starješine pa mu skine s noge sandalu, pljune mu u lice i kaže ove riječi: 'Ovako se radi čovjeku koji neće da podigne doma svome bratu!'
then his brother's wife shall come forward before the elders, and shall loose one shoe from off his foot, and shall spit in his face, and shall answer and say, Thus shall they do to the man who will not build his brother's house in Israel.
10 Taj neka se prozove u Izraelu 'Dom bosoga'.
And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that has had his shoe loosed.
11 Ako se dvojica potuku, pa žena jednoga pođe da izbavi svoga muža iz šaka onoga koji ga tuče i pruži ona svoju ruku i onoga uhvati za sram,
And if men should strive together, a man with his brother, and the wife of one of them should advance to rescue her husband out of the hand of him that smites him, and she should stretch forth her hand, and take hold of his private parts;
12 odsijeci joj ruku i neka je ne sažaljuje oko tvoje.
you shall cut off her hand; your eye shall not spare her.
13 U torbi nemoj nositi dvojak uteg, veći i manji.
You shall not have in your bag various weights, a great and a small.
14 U svojoj kući opet nemoj držati dvojaku efu: veću i manju.
You shall not have in your house various measures, a great and a small.
15 Neka ti je uteg potpun i točan i neka ti je efa potpuna i točna, da dugo živiš na zemlji koju ti daje Jahve, Bog tvoj.
You shall have a true and just weight, and a true and just measure, that you may live long upon the land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance.
16 TÓa Jahvi je, Bogu tvome, odvratan tko to čini, tko god čini nepravdu.
For every one that does this [is] an abomination to the Lord your God, even every one that does injustice.
17 Sjećaj se onoga što ti je učinio Amalek dok ste bili na putu pošto ste izišli iz Egipta;
Remember what things Amalec did to you by the way, when you went forth out of the land of Egypt:
18 kako te dočeka na putu i pobi u tvom zaleđu sve nemoćne kad si bio umoran i iscrpljen jer se nije Boga bojao.
how he withstood you in the way, and harassed your rear, [even] those that were weary behind you, and you did hunger and was weary; and he did not fear God.
19 I zato kad te Jahve, Bog tvoj, smiri od svih tvojih neprijatelja naokolo u zemlji koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje u baštinu, izbriši pod nebom spomen na Amaleka. Ne zaboravi!
And it shall come to pass whenever the Lord your God shall have given you rest from all your enemies round about you, in the land which the Lord your God gives you to inherit, you shall blot out the name of Amalec from under heaven, and shall not forget [to do it].
