Deuteronomy 25

1 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:

١ «إِذَا كَانَتْ خُصُومَةٌ بَيْنَ أُنَاسٍ وَتَقَدَّمُوا إِلَى ٱلْقَضَاءِ لِيَقْضِيَ ٱلْقُضَاةُ بَيْنَهُمْ، فَلْيُبَرِّرُوا ٱلْبَارَّ وَيَحْكُمُوا عَلَى ٱلْمُذْنِبِ.

2 then it shall come to pass, if the unrighteous should be worthy of stripes, thou shalt lay him down before the judges, and they shall scourge him before them according to his iniquity.

٢ فَإِنْ كَانَ ٱلْمُذْنِبُ مُسْتَوْجِبَ ٱلضَّرْبِ، يَطْرَحُهُ ٱلْقَاضِي وَيَجْلِدُونَهُ أَمَامَهُ عَلَى قَدَرِ ذَنْبِهِ بِٱلْعَدَدِ.

3 And they shall scourge him with forty stripes in number, they shall not inflict more; for if thou shouldest scourge him [with] more stripes beyond these stripes, thy brother will be disgraced before thee.

٣ أَرْبَعِينَ يَجْلِدُهُ. لَا يَزِدْ، لِئَلَّا إِذَا زَادَ فِي جَلْدِهِ عَلَى هَذِهِ ضَرَبَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً، يُحْتَقَرَ أَخُوكَ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ.

4 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treads out the corn.

٤ لَا تَكُمَّ ٱلثَّوْرَ فِي دِرَاسِهِ.

5 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.

٥ «إِذَا سَكَنَ إِخْوَةٌ مَعًا وَمَاتَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱبْنٌ، فَلَا تَصِرِ ٱمْرَأَةُ ٱلْمَيْتِ إِلَى خَارِجٍ لِرَجُلٍ أَجْنَبِيٍّ. أَخُو زَوْجِهَا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهَا وَيَتَّخِذُهَا لِنَفْسِهِ زَوْجَةً، وَيَقُومُ لَهَا بِوَاجِبِ أَخِي ٱلزَّوْجِ.

6 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.

٦ وَٱلْبِكْرُ ٱلَّذِي تَلِدُهُ يَقُومُ بِٱسْمِ أَخِيهِ ٱلْمَيْتِ، لِئَلَّا يُمْحَى ٱسْمُهُ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

7 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.

٧ «وَإِنْ لَمْ يَرْضَ ٱلرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ ٱمْرَأَةَ أَخِيهِ، تَصْعَدُ ٱمْرَأَةُ أَخِيهِ إِلَى ٱلْبَابِ إِلَى ٱلشُّيُوخِ وَتَقُولُ: قَدْ أَبَى أَخُو زَوْجِي أَنْ يُقِيمَ لِأَخِيهِ ٱسْمًا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. لَمْ يَشَأْ أَنْ يَقُومَ لِي بِوَاجِبِ أَخِي ٱلزَّوْجِ.

8 And the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him; and if he stand and say, I will not take her:

٨ فَيَدْعُوهُ شُيُوخُ مَدِينَتِهِ وَيَتَكَلَّمُونَ مَعَهُ. فَإِنْ أَصَرَّ وَقَالَ: لَا أَرْضَى أَنْ أَتَّخِذَهَا.

9 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.

٩ تَتَقَدَّمُ ٱمْرَأَةُ أَخِيهِ إِلَيْهِ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِ ٱلشُّيُوخِ، وَتَخْلَعُ نَعْلَهُ مِنْ رِجْلِهِ، وَتَبْصُقُ فِي وَجْهِهِ، وَتُصَرِّحُ وَتَقُولُ: هَكَذَا يُفْعَلُ بِٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَبْنِي بَيْتَ أَخِيهِ.

10 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that has had his shoe loosed.

١٠ فَيُدْعَى ٱسْمُهُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ «بَيْتَ مَخْلُوعِ ٱلنَّعْلِ».

11 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;

١١ «إِذَا تَخَاصَمَ رَجُلَانِ بَعْضُهُمَا بَعْضًا، رَجُلٌ وَأَخُوهُ، وَتَقَدَّمَتِ ٱمْرَأَةُ أَحَدِهِمَا لِكَيْ تُخَلِّصَ رَجُلَهَا مِنْ يَدِ ضَارِبِهِ، وَمَدَّتْ يَدَهَا وَأَمْسَكَتْ بِعَوْرَتِهِ،

12 thou shalt cut off her hand; thine eye shall not spare her.

١٢ فَٱقْطَعْ يَدَهَا، وَلَا تُشْفِقْ عَيْنُكَ.

13 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.

١٣ «لَا يَكُنْ لَكَ فِي كِيسِكَ أَوْزَانٌ مُخْتَلِفَةٌ كَبِيرَةٌ وَصَغِيرَةٌ.

14 Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.

١٤ لَا يَكُنْ لَكَ فِي بَيْتِكَ مَكَايِيلُ مُخْتَلِفَةٌ كَبِيرَةٌ وَصَغِيرَةٌ.

15 Thou shalt have a true and just weight, and a true and just measure, that thou mayest live long upon the land which the Lord thy God gives thee for an inheritance.

١٥ وَزْنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَحَقٌّ يَكُونُ لَكَ، وَمِكْيَالٌ صَحِيحٌ وَحَقٌّ يَكُونُ لَكَ، لِكَيْ تَطُولَ أَيَّامُكَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

16 For every one that does this [is] an abomination to the Lord thy God, even every one that does injustice.

١٦ لِأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ عَمِلَ ذَلِكَ، كُلَّ مَنْ عَمِلَ غِشًّا، مَكْرُوهٌ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ.

17 Remember what things Amalec did to thee by the way, when thou wentest forth out of the land of Egypt:

١٧ «اُذْكُرْ مَا فَعَلَهُ بِكَ عَمَالِيقُ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِكَ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

18 how he withstood thee in the way, and harassed thy rear, [even] those that were weary behind thee, and thou didst hunger and wast weary; and he did not fear God.

١٨ كَيْفَ لَاقَاكَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَقَطَعَ مِنْ مُؤَخَّرِكَ كُلَّ ٱلْمُسْتَضْعِفِينَ وَرَاءَكَ، وَأَنْتَ كَلِيلٌ وَمُتْعَبٌ، وَلَمْ يَخَفِ ٱللهَ.

19 And it shall come to pass whenever the Lord thy God shall have given thee rest from all thine enemies round about thee, in the land which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit, thou shalt blot out the name of Amalec from under heaven, and shalt not forget [to do it].

١٩ فَمَتَى أَرَاحَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِكَ حَوْلَكَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ نَصِيبًا لِكَيْ تَمْتَلِكَهَا، تَمْحُو ذِكْرَ عَمَالِيقَ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. لَا تَنْسَ.
