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;
Cuando hubiere pleito entre algunos, y vinieren a juicio, y los juzgaren, y absolvieren al justo, y condenaren al impío:
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.
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 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.
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 shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
No embozalarás al buey cuando trillare.
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.
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 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.
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 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."
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 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";
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 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."
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 His name shall be called in Israel, The house of him who has his shoe untied.
Y su nombre será llamado en Israel, la casa del descalzado.
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;
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 shall cut off her hand, your eye shall have no pity.
Entonces cortarle has la mano, no perdonará tu ojo.
13 You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, a great and a small.
No tendrás en tu bolsa pesa grande y pesa chica.
14 You shall not have in your house diverse measures, a great and a small.
No tendrás en tu casa efa grande y efa chica.
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 YHWH your God gives 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 all who do such things, all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to YHWH your God.
Porque abominación es a Jehová tu Dios cualquiera que hace esto, cualquiera que hace injusticia.
17 Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came forth out of Egypt;
Acuérdate de lo que te hizo Amalec en el camino cuando salistes de Egipto:
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.
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 Therefore it shall be, when YHWH your God has given you rest from all your enemies all around, in the land which YHWH 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.
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.
