Deuteronomy 25
1 “When there is a strife between men, and they have come near to the judgment, and they have judged, and declared righteous the righteous, and declared wrong the wrongdoer,
Cuando hubiere pleito entre algunos, y vinieren a juicio, y los juzgaren, y absolvieren al justo, y condenaren al impío:
2 then it has come to pass, if the wrongdoer is to be struck, that the judge has caused him to fall down, and [one] has struck him in his presence, according to the sufficiency of his wrongdoing, 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 strikes him forty [times]; he is not adding, lest he is adding to strike him above these many stripes, and your brother be lightly esteemed in your eyes.
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 You do not muzzle an ox in its threshing.
No embozalarás al buey cuando trillare.
5 When brothers dwell together, and one of them has died and has no son, the wife of the dead is not given to a strange man; her husband’s brother goes in to her, and has taken her to him for a wife, and performs the duty of her husband’s brother;
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 has been, the firstborn which she bears rises for the name of his dead brother, and his name is not wiped away 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 delight to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife has gone up to the gate, to the elderly, and said, My husband’s brother is refusing to raise up a name for his brother in Israel; he has not been willing to perform the duty of my husband’s brother;
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 and [the] elderly of his city have called for him, and spoken to him, and he has stood and said, I have no desire 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 has drawn near to him before the eyes of the elderly, and drawn his shoe from off his foot, and spat in his face, and answered and said, Thus it is done to the man who does not build up the house of his brother;
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 has been called in Israel, The house of him whose shoe is drawn off.
Y su nombre será llamado en Israel, la casa del descalzado.
11 When men strive together with one another, and the wife of one has drawn near to deliver her husband out of the hand of his striker, and has put forth her hand, and laid hold on his private parts,
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 you have cut off her hand; your eye does not spare.
Entonces cortarle has la mano, no perdonará tu ojo.
13 You do not have [both] a great stone and a small stone in your bag.
No tendrás en tu bolsa pesa grande y pesa chica.
14 You do not have a great ephah and a small ephah in your house.
No tendrás en tu casa efa grande y efa chica.
15 You have a complete and just stone, [and] you have a complete and just ephah, so that they prolong your days on the ground which your God YHWH is giving to you;
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 anyone doing these things, anyone doing iniquity, [is] an abomination [to] your God YHWH.
Porque abominación es a Jehová tu Dios cualquiera que hace esto, cualquiera que hace injusticia.
17 Remember that which Amalek has done to you in the way in your going out from Egypt,
Acuérdate de lo que te hizo Amalec en el camino cuando salistes de Egipto:
18 that he has met you in the way, and strikes among you all those feeble behind you (when you [were] weary and fatigued), and is not fearing 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 And it has been, in your God YHWH giving rest to you from all your surrounding enemies, in the land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance to possess it, you blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens—you do 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.
