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.
Če je polemika med ljudmi in pridejo na sodbo, da bi jim sodniki lahko sodili, potem bodo opravičili pravičnega in obsodili zlobnega.
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.
Zgodilo se bo, če bo zloben človek vreden, da bi bil pretepen, da mu bo sodnik povzročil, da se uleže in da bo z določenim številom udarcev pretepen pred njegovim obrazom, glede na njegovo krivdo.
3 He may be given forty blows, not more; for if more are given, your brother may be shamed before you.
Štirideset udarcev mu lahko naloži in ne več, da se ti tvoj brat ne bi zdel onečaščen, če bi prekoračil in ga pretepel z mnogimi udarci nad temi.
4 Do not keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it.
Ne boš zavezal gobca volu, kadar mane žito.
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.
Če bratje prebivajo skupaj in eden izmed njih umre in nima otroka, se žena mrtvega ne bo poročila zunaj, s tujcem. Njen svak bo šel noter k njej in jo vzel k sebi za ženo in ji izpolnil dolžnost soprogovega brata.
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.
Zgodilo se bo, da bo prvorojenec, ki ga ona rodi, nasledil ime njegovega brata, ki je mrtev, da njegovo ime ne bo izbrisano iz Izraela.
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.
Če pa mož ne mara vzeti svakinje, potem naj gre žena njegovega brata gor k velikim vratom do starešin in reče: ›Brat mojega soproga odklanja, da bi svojemu bratu vzdignil ime v Izraelu; noče izpolniti dolžnosti brata mojega soproga.‹
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;
Potem ga bodo starešine njegovega mesta poklicali in mu govorili. Če pa se temu zoperstavi in reče: ›Ne maram je vzeti, ‹
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.
potem bo žena njegovega brata prišla k njemu v prisotnosti starešin in sezula njegov čevelj iz njegovega stopala in pljunila v njegov obraz in odgovorila ter rekla: ›Tako bo storjeno tistemu možu, ki noče graditi hiše svojega brata.‹
10 And his family will be named in Israel, The house of him whose shoe has been taken off.
Njegovo ime bo v Izraelu imenovano: ›Hiša tistega, ki je sezut.‹
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;
Kadar se možje skupaj prepirajo drug z drugim in se žena enega približa, da bi svojega soproga osvobodila iz roke tistega, ki ga udarja in iztegne svojo roko, da ga zgrabi za njegove genitalije,
12 Her hand is to be cut off; have no pity on her.
potem boš odsekal njeno roko, tvoje oko se je ne bo usmililo.
13 Do not have in your bag different weights, a great and a small;
V svoji torbi ne boš imel različnih uteži, velike in male.
14 Or in your house different measures, a great and a small.
V svoji hiši ne boš imel različnih mer, velike in male.
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.
Temveč boš imel popolno in pravično utež, popolno in pravično mero boš imel, da bodo tvoji dnevi lahko podaljšani v deželi, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog.
16 For all who do such things, and all whose ways are not upright, are disgusting to the Lord your God.
Kajti vsi, ki počno takšne stvari, in vsi, ki počno nepravično, so ogabnost Gospodu, tvojemu Bogu.
17 Keep in mind what Amalek did to you on your way from Egypt;
Spomni se kaj ti je po poti storil Amálek, ko ste izšli iz Egipta,
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.
kako te je srečal po poti in udaril najbolj zadnje od tebe, torej vse, kar je bilo slabotno za teboj, ko si bil ti slaboten in utrujen, on pa se ni bal Boga.
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.
Zato bo, ko ti bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, dal počitek pred vsemi tvojimi sovražniki naokoli, v deželi, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog, za dediščino, da jo vzameš v last, da boš izpod neba izbrisal spomin na Amáleka. Tega ne boš pozabil.
