Deuteronomy 25

1 If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgment, and the judges judge them; then they shall 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 and it shall be if the wicked man deserves to be beaten, that the judge shall make him lie down and be beaten in his presence with a number of stripes, according to his guilt.

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

3 He may give him forty stripes and no more. Otherwise, if he should go on and beat him with more stripes than these, your brother will be humiliated in your eyes.

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

4 You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.

٤ لَا تَكُمَّ ٱلثَّوْرَ فِي دِرَاسِهِ.

5 If brothers dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and take her to him as wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother to 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 It shall be, that the firstborn whom she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name not be blotted out of Israel.

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

7 If the man doesn't want to take his brother's wife, then his brother's wife shall go up to the gate to the elders, and say, "My husband's brother refuses to raise up to his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband's brother to me."

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 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him: and if he stand, and say, "I do not want to take her";

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

9 then his brother's wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say, "So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother's house."

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 His name shall be called in Israel, The house of him who has his shoe untied.

١٠ فَيُدْعَى ٱسْمُهُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ «بَيْتَ مَخْلُوعِ ٱلنَّعْلِ».

11 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him who strikes him, and puts forth her hand, and takes him by the private parts;

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

12 then you shall cut off her hand, your eye shall have no pity.

١٢ فَٱقْطَعْ يَدَهَا، وَلَا تُشْفِقْ عَيْنُكَ.

13 You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, a great and a small.

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

14 You shall not have in your house diverse measures, a great and a small.

١٤ لَا يَكُنْ لَكَ فِي بَيْتِكَ مَكَايِيلُ مُخْتَلِفَةٌ كَبِيرَةٌ وَصَغِيرَةٌ.

15 You shall have a perfect and just weight. You shall have a perfect and just measure, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.

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

16 For all who do such things, all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD your God.

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

17 Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came forth out of Egypt;

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

18 how he met you by the way, and struck the hindmost of you, all who lagged behind you, when you were faint and 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 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies all around, in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky; you shall not forget.

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.
