< Deuteronomy 25 >
1 If there be a controversy between men, and they come nigh unto a court of justice, and they judge them; and they justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked:
Kad starp vīriem ir kāda ķilda un tie ies priekš tiesas, tad soģiem tos būs tiesāt un taisno taisnot un netaisno notiesāt.
2 Then shall it be, if the guilty man deserve to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to the degree of his fault, by a [certain] number.
Un ja tas vainīgais sitienus pelnījis, tad lai soģis tam liek mesties zemē, un klāt būdams tam liek sitienus dot ar skaitu pēc viņa vainas.
3 Forty stripes may he give him, not more; so that he shall not exceed to have him beaten above these with too many stripes, and thy brother be thus rendered vile before thy eyes.
Četrdesmit sitienus lai tam liek dot; Ne vairāk, lai, ja to vēl vairāk sistu pāri par to, tavs brālis nekļūst nicināts tavās acīs. -
4 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he thresheth out the corn.
Vērsim, kas labību min, tev nebūs purnu apsiet.-
5 If brothers dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child: then shall the wife of the dead not be married abroad, unto a stranger; her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to himself for wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her.
Kad brāļi kopā dzīvo un viens no tiem mirst un tam dēla nav, tad tā mirušā sievai nebūs (par sievu) tapt citam kādam svešam vīram, bet tā vīra brālis lai pie viņas ieiet un to ņem par sievu, un tai dara, kas vīra brālim pienākas.
6 And it shall be, that the first-born whom she may bear shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead; so that his name be not blotted out of Israel.
Un to pirmdzimušo, ko viņa dzemdēs, viņam būs likt sava nomirušā brāļa vārdā, lai viņa vārds no Israēla netop izdeldēts.
7 And if the man have no desire to take his sister-in-law: then shall his sister-in-law go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform on me the duty of a husband's brother.
Bet ja šim vīram nepatīk ņemt sava brāļa sievu, tad lai tā brāļa sieva iet pie tiem vecajiem vārtos un lai saka: mans vīra brālis liedzās savam brālim celt vārdu iekš Israēla; viņš man negrib darīt, kas vīra brālim pienākas.
8 Then shall the elders of his city call him, and speak unto him; and if he persist, and say, I have no desire to take her:
Tad lai pilsētas vecaji viņu aicina un uz viņu runā; ja tad viņš pastāv un saka: man nepatīk viņu ņemt; -
9 Then shall his sister-in-law come nigh unto him in the presence of the elders, and pull his shoe from off his foot, and spit out before him, and shall commence and say, Thus shall be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house.
Tad lai viņa brāļa sieva iet pie viņa priekš vecaju acīm, un lai viņam novelk kurpi no kājas un lai viņam spļauj vaigā; un lai viņa atbild un saka: tā lai notiek tam vīram, kas negrib uzcelt sava brāļa namu.
10 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of the barefooted.
Un viņa vārds iekš Israēla taps nosaukts baskājas nams. -
11 When men strive together one with the other, and the wife of the one draweth near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:
Kad vīri viens ar otru kaujās, un tā viena sieva pieiet izglābt savu vīru no viņa sitēja rokas un izstiepj savu roku un sagrābj viņa kaunumu,
12 Then shalt thou cut off her hand, thy eye shall not have pity.
Tad tev to roku viņai būs nocirst, - lai tava acs nežēlo. -
13 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.
Tev nebūs divējādu svaru turēt savā kulē, lielu un mazu.
14 Thou shalt not have in thy house divers measures, a great and a small.
Tev nebūs divējādu pūru turēt savā namā, lielu un mazu.
15 A perfect and just weight shalt thou have, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have; in order that thy days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee;
Lai tev ir pilnīgs un taisns svars lai tev ir pilnīgs un taisns mērs, ka tu ilgi dzīvo tai zemē, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos.
16 For an abomination of the Lord thy God is every one that doth such things, every one that acteth unrighteously.
Jo ikviens, kas to dara, ikviens, kas netaisni dara, tas Tam Kungam, tavam Dievam, ir negantība. -
17 Remember what 'Amalek did unto thee, by the way, at your coming forth out of Egypt;
Piemini, ko Amalekieši tev darīja ceļā, kad izgājāt no Ēģiptes zemes.
18 How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all that were feeble behind thee, when thou was faint and weary; and he feared not God.
Kā viņi tev pretī cēlās ceļā, un tev kāva tos pakaļējus, visus nespēcīgos aiz tevis, kad tu biji piekusis un noguris, un tie nebijās Dievu.
19 And it shall come to pass, when the Lord thy God giveth thee rest from all thy enemies round about, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of 'Amalek from under the heavens: thou shalt not forget.
Kad nu Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev būs devis dusu no visiem taviem ienaidniekiem visapkārt tai zemē, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos par īpašumu iemantot, tad Amalekiešu piemiņu tev būs izdeldēt no pasaules. Neaizmirsti to.
