Deuteronomy 25
1 If it will happen a dispute between people and they will draw near to the place of judgment and they will judge them and they will declare righteous the righteous [one] and they will condemn as guilty the guilty [one].
“Nxa amadoda exabana, ingxabano yawo kumele isiwe emthethwandaba ukuze kuthi abehluleli bakhuphe isinqumo ngaleyondaba, bakhulule omsulwa njalo bamlahle olecala.
2 And it will be if [is] a son of striking the guilty [one] and he will make lie down him the judge and someone will strike him before him according to [the] sufficiency of wickedness his by number.
Nxa olecala kufanele atshaywe, umahluleli uzakuthi kalale acambalale athi katshaywe laye ekhona ngalezonswazi ezilingene lelocala,
3 Forty [times] he will strike him not he will increase lest he should increase to strike him to these striking much and he will be dishonored countryman your to eyes your.
kodwa akufanelanga zedlule ezingamatshumi amane. Nxa etshaywe inswazi ezedlula lapho, umfowenu usezabe esuswe isithunzi emehlweni akho.
4 Not you will muzzle an ox when threshes it.
Ungafaki inkabi yakho isayeke nxa ibhula amabele.
5 If they will dwell brothers together and he will die one from them and a son not [belongs] to him not she will belong [the] wife of the dead [man] the outside towards to a man strange husband's brother her he will go on her and he will take her for himself to a wife and he will act as a husband's brother for her.
Nxa amadodana endoda ehlala kwenye indawo omunye abe esesifa engelandodana, umfelokazi akumelanga ayekwendela kwenye indawo. Umfowabo wendoda kumele amthathe ukuze agcwalise umlandu womfowabo kulowomfelokazi.
6 And it will be the firstborn whom she will bear he will stand on [the] name of brother his dead and not it will be wiped out name his from Israel.
Indodana yakuqala ezazalwa lapho kumele ibizwe ngomfowabo owafayo ukuze ibizo lakhe lingatshabalali ko-Israyeli.
7 And if not he will desire the man to take brother's wife his and she will go up brother's wife his the gate towards to the elders and she will say he has refused husband's brother my to establish for brother his a name in Israel not he was willing to act as a husband's brother for me.
Kodwa-ke, indoda nxa ingafuni ukuthatha umfazi womfowabo, kuzamele umfazi lowo aye ebadaleni esangweni ledolobho afike athi, ‘Umfowabo wendoda yami uyala ukuqhuba ibizo lomfowabo ko-Israyeli. Kafuni ukuthi agcwalise umlandu womfowabo.’
8 And they will summon him [the] elders of city his and they will speak to him and he will stand firm and he will say not I desire to take her.
Ngakho abadala balelodolobho lakhe bazambiza bakhulume laye. Nxa angala kokuphela esithi, ‘Angifuni ukumthatha,’
9 And she will draw near brother's wife his to him to [the] eyes of the elders and she will draw off sandal his from on foot his and she will spit in face his and she will answer and she will say thus let it be done to the man who not he will build [the] house of (brother his *L(abh)*)
umfelokazi lowo uzamqonda phambi kwabadala, bamkhuphe inyathelo elilodwa, amkhafulele emehlweni athi, ‘Lokhu yikho okwenziwa endodeni engafuniyo ukuvusela umfowabo indlu yakhe.’
10 and it will be called name its in Israel [the] house of [the] [one] drawn off of the sandal.
Usendo lwaleyondoda ko-Israyeli luzakwaziwa njengeNdlu engelaNyathelo.
11 If they will be struggling together men together anyone and countryman his and she will draw near [the] wife of the one [man] to rescue (husband her *LAB(h)*) from [the] hand of [the] [one who] is striking him and she will stretch out hand her and she will take hold on genitals his.
Nxa amadoda amabili esilwa kube sekusithi umfazi wenye athelele, ancedise indoda yakhe, abesexhakalaza leyondoda ngamaphambili,
12 And you will cut off hand her not it will look with pity eye your.
kumele liqume isandla sowesifazane lowo. Lingabi lesihawu kuye lakancane.
13 Not it will belong to you in bag your a weight and a weight large and small.
Ungabokuba lezilinganiso zesisindo ezimbili emgodleni wakho ezehlukeneyo, esinye esinzima lesinye esilula.
14 Not it will belong to you in house your a measure and a measure large and small.
Ungabi lezilinganiso ezimbili ezehlukeneyo endlini yakho, esinye esikhulu lesinye esincinyane.
15 A weight full and righteousness it will belong to you a measure full and righteousness it will belong to you so that they may be long days your on the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you.
Kumele libe lezilinganiso eziqondileyo leziqotho loba ngezesisindo loba ngezobukhulu, ukuze libe lempilo ende elizweni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona.
16 For [is] [the] abomination of Yahweh God your every [one who] does these [things] every [one who] does injustice.
Ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uyanengeka ngomuntu owenza lezizinto, yiloba ngubani owenza izinto zobuqili.
17 Remember [that] which it did to you Amalek on the way when came out you from Egypt.
Khumbula okwenziwa ngama-Amaleki kuwe endleleni uphuma eGibhithe.
18 That it met you on the way and it attacked in [the] rear you all the stragglers behind you and you [were] exhausted and weary and not it feared God.
Kwathi lapho usudinwe kakhulu ungaselamandla, akuhlangabeza ohanjweni lwakho, abachitha bonke ababesalela emuva; ayengamesabi uNkulunkulu.
19 And it will be when gives rest Yahweh God your - to you from all enemies your from round about in the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you an inheritance to take possession of it you will wipe out [the] remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens not you will forget.
Mhla uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika ukuphumula kuzozonke izitha zakho ezikuhanqileyo elizweni akunika lona ukuba libe yilifa lakho, uzatshabalalisa nya ibizo lama-Amaleki ngaphansi kwezulu. Ungakhohlwa!”
