Deuteronomy 25
1 If there is an argument between men and they go to law with one another, let the judges give their decision for the upright, and against the wrongdoer.
Misalkan dua orang Israel pergi ke pengadilan untuk mengadukan suatu perkara, lalu yang seorang dinyatakan tidak bersalah, dan yang lain bersalah.
2 And if the wrongdoer is to undergo punishment by whipping, the judge will give orders for him to go down on his face and be whipped before him, the number of the blows being in relation to his crime.
Kalau yang bersalah dijatuhi hukuman cambuk, hakim harus menyuruh dia menelungkup. Jumlah cambukan tergantung dari kejahatan yang telah dilakukannya,
3 He may be given forty blows, not more; for if more are given, your brother may be shamed before you.
tetapi tidak boleh lebih dari empat puluh kali. Kalau lebih, berarti orang itu dihina di depan umum.
4 Do not keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it.
Jangan memberangus mulut sapi yang sedang menebah gandum."
5 If brothers are living together and one of them, at his death, has no son, the wife of the dead man is not to be married outside the family to another man: let her husband's brother go in to her and make her his wife, doing as it is right for a brother-in-law to do.
"Kalau orang-orang yang bersaudara tinggal bersama, lalu salah seorang dari mereka mati tanpa meninggalkan anak laki-laki, maka jandanya tak boleh kawin dengan orang lain di luar keluarga mendiang suaminya. Saudara almarhum wajib kawin dengan janda itu.
6 Then the first male child she has will take the rights of the brother who is dead, so that his name may not come to an end in Israel.
Anak laki-laki sulung mereka harus dianggap anak saudara yang mati itu, supaya ia mempunyai keturunan di antara bangsa Israel.
7 But if the man says he will not take his brother's wife, then let the wife go to the responsible men of the town, and say, My husband's brother will not keep his brother's name living in Israel; he will not do what it is right for a husband's brother to do.
Kalau orang itu tidak mau kawin dengan istri mendiang saudaranya, wanita itu harus pergi menghadap para pemuka kota dan berkata, 'Ipar saya tidak mau melakukan kewajibannya memberi kepada saudaranya seorang keturunan di antara bangsa Israel.'
8 Then the responsible men of the town will send for the man, and have talk with him: and if he still says, I will not take her;
Lalu para pemuka kota harus memanggil orang itu dan bicara dengan dia. Kalau ia tetap menolak,
9 Then his brother's wife is to come to him, before the responsible men of the town, and take his shoe off his foot, and put shame on him, and say, So let it be done to the man who will not take care of his brother's name.
istri mendiang saudaranya harus mendekati dia di depan para pemuka kota, mencabut sandal orang itu, meludahi mukanya dan berkata, 'Begini harus diperlakukan orang yang tak mau memberi keturunan kepada saudaranya.'
10 And his family will be named in Israel, The house of him whose shoe has been taken off.
Keluarga orang itu akan dikenal di Israel sebagai 'Keluarga orang yang dicabut sandalnya.'"
11 If two men are fighting, and the wife of one of them, coming to the help of her husband, takes the other by the private parts;
"Kalau dua orang laki-laki sedang berkelahi dan istri yang seorang berusaha menolong suaminya dengan meremas kemaluan lawan suaminya,
12 Her hand is to be cut off; have no pity on her.
potonglah tangan wanita itu dan jangan kasihani dia.
13 Do not have in your bag different weights, a great and a small;
Jangan menipu dengan memakai timbangan dan takaran yang tidak betul.
14 Or in your house different measures, a great and a small.
15 But have a true weight and a true measure: so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
Pakailah timbangan dan takaran yang tepat supaya kamu panjang umur di negeri yang diberikan TUHAN Allahmu kepadamu.
16 For all who do such things, and all whose ways are not upright, are disgusting to the Lord your God.
TUHAN Allahmu benci kepada orang yang suka menipu."
17 Keep in mind what Amalek did to you on your way from Egypt;
"Ingatlah bagaimana orang Amalek memperlakukan kamu pada waktu kamu dalam perjalanan keluar dari Mesir.
18 How, meeting you on the way, he made an attack on you when you were tired and without strength, cutting off all the feeble ones at the end of your line; and the fear of God was not in him.
Mereka tidak takut kepada Allah dan menyerang kamu dari belakang ketika kamu sedang kelelahan dan kehabisan tenaga, lalu membunuh semua orang-orangmu yang dengan susah payah berjalan di belakang.
19 So when the Lord your God has given you rest from all who are against you on every side, in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, see to it that the memory of Amalek is cut off from the earth; keep this in mind.
Oleh sebab itu, kalau TUHAN Allahmu sudah memberi negeri itu kepadamu dan kamu aman dari semua musuh yang tinggal di sekelilingmu, semua orang Amalek itu harus kamu bunuh sehingga mereka tidak diingat lagi. Jangan lupa!"
