Deuteronomy 25
1 If there be a controversy between men, and they come to judgment, and they judge them, then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the iniquitous.
Cuando hubiere pleito entre algunos, y vinieren a juicio, y los juzgaren, y absolvieren al justo, y condenaren al impío:
2 And it shall be, if the iniquitous man is deserving to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his iniquity, by number.
Será que si el impío mereciere ser azotado, entonces el juez le hará echar, y le hará azotar delante de sí, según su impiedad por cuenta.
3 He may give him forty stripes. He shall not exceed, lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem debased to thee.
Cuarenta veces le hará herir, no más: porque si le hiriere de muchos azotes allende de estos, no se envilezca tu hermano delante de tus ojos.
4 Thou shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
No embozalarás al buey cuando trillare.
5 If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies, and has no son, the wife of the dead man shall not be married outside to a stranger. Her husband's brother shall go in to her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her.
Cuando algunos hermanos estuvieren juntos, y muriere alguno de ellos, y no tuviere hijo, la mujer del muerto no se casará fuera con hombre extraño: su cuñado entrará a ella, y la tomará por su mujer, y hará con ella parentesco.
6 And it shall be, that the firstborn who she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name be not blotted out of Israel.
Y será, que el primogénito que pariere, se levantará en nombre de su hermano el muerto, porque su nombre no sea raído de Israel.
7 And if the man does not 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.
Y si el hombre no quisiere tomar a su cuñada, entonces su cuñada vendrá a la puerta a los ancianos, y dirá: Mi cuñado no quiere despertar nombre en Israel a su hermano: no quiere hacer parentesco conmigo.
8 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him. And if he stands, and says, I do not want to take her,
Entonces los ancianos de aquella ciudad le harán venir, y hablarán con él: y él se levantará, y dirá: Yo no quiero tomarla.
9 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.
Y su cuñada se llegará a él delante de los ancianos, y descalzarle ha su zapato de su pie, y escupirle ha en el rostro, y hablará, y dirá: Así sea hecho al varón, que no edificare la casa de su hermano.
10 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him who has his shoe loosed.
Y su nombre será llamado en Israel, la casa del descalzado.
11 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 smites him, and puts forth her hand, and takes him by the privates,
Cuando algunos riñeren juntos el uno con el otro, y llegare la mujer del uno para librar a su marido de mano del que le hiere, y metiere su mano y le trabare de sus vergüenzas:
12 then thou shall cut off her hand. Thine eye shall have no pity.
Entonces cortarle has la mano, no perdonará tu ojo.
13 Thou shall not have in thy bag diverse weights, a great and a small.
No tendrás en tu bolsa pesa grande y pesa chica.
14 Thou shall not have in thy house diverse measures, a great and a small.
No tendrás en tu casa efa grande y efa chica.
15 A perfect and just weight thou shall have, a perfect and just measure thou shall have, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee.
Pesas cumplidas y justas tendrás: efa cumplida y justa tendrás: para que tus días sean prolongados sobre la tierra, que Jehová tu Dios te da.
16 For all who do such things, even all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to Jehovah thy God.
Porque abominación es a Jehová tu Dios cualquiera que hace esto, cualquiera que hace injusticia.
17 Remember what Amalek did to thee by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt,
Acuérdate de lo que te hizo Amalec en el camino cuando salistes de Egipto:
18 how he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all who were feeble behind thee, when thou were faint and weary, and he feared not God.
Que te salió al camino, y te desguarneció la retaguardia de todos los flacos que iban detrás de ti, cuando tú estabas cansado y trabajado, y no temió a Dios.
19 Therefore it shall be, when Jehovah thy God has given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. Thou shall not forget.
Y será que cuando Jehová tu Dios te hubiere dado reposo de todos tus enemigos al derredor en la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da por heredad para que la poseas, raerás la memoria de Amalec de debajo del cielo, no te olvides.
