Deuteronomy 25
1 “If [two] Israelis have a dispute and they go to a court, the judge will [probably] decide/declare that one of them (is innocent/did not do any wrong) and the other one is guilty.
幾時人與人之間發生爭訟，而對簿公庭，定案時，正直的，應聲明他正直；有罪的，應判定他有罪；
2 If the judge says that the guilty person must be punished, he shall command him to lie [with his face] on the ground and be whipped. The number of times he is struck with a whip will depend on [what kind of] crime he committed.
如有罪的應受鞭刑，判官應命他伏下，當面按他的罪照數鞭打；
3 It is permitted that he be struck as many as 40 times, but no more than that. If he is struck more than 40 times, he would be humiliated publicly.
只可打他四十下，不可再多；怕鞭打他超過這數目，你的兄弟在你眼前過於受辱。
4 When your ox is treading/walking on the grain [to separate the chaff from the grain], do not (muzzle it/put a covering on its mouth) [to prevent it from eating some of the grain].
牛在打場的時候，不可籠住牠的嘴。
5 If two brothers live on the same property, and one of them who has no son dies, the man’s widow should not marry someone who is not a member of his family. The dead man’s brother must marry her and have sex [EUP] with her. It is his duty to do that.
如果兄弟住在一起，其中一個沒有留下兒子就死了；死者的妻子不可出嫁外人，丈夫的兄弟應走近她，以她為妻，對她履行兄弟的義務。
6 If she later gives birth to a son, that son is to be considered [MTY] the son of the man who died, in order that the dead man’s name will not disappear from Israel.
她所生的長子，應歸亡兄名下，免得他的名由以色列中消滅。
7 “But if the dead man’s brother does not want to marry that woman, she must stand at the (gate/central meeting place) of the town and say to the [town] elders, ‘My husband’s brother will not do (his duty/what he is supposed to do). He refuses to [marry me in order that I may give birth to a son who will] prevent my dead husband’s name from disappearing in Israel.’
若是那人不肯娶他兄弟的妻子，他兄弟的妻子應到城門去見長老說：「我丈夫的兄弟不願在以色列中給自己的兄弟留名，不願對我盡兄弟的義務。」
8 Then the elders must summon that man and talk to him. If he still refuses to marry that widow,
本城的長老應叫那人來，對他說明；如他仍堅持說：「我不願娶她。」
9 she must go up to him while the elders are watching, and take off one of his sandals [to symbolize/show that he would not receive any of her property], and spit in his face, and say to him, ‘This is what happens to the man who refuses to do what is needed [to allow his dead brother to have a son] in order that our family name does not disappear.’
他兄弟的妻子應當著長老的面，走到他跟前，從他腳上脫下他的鞋，向他臉上吐唾沫說：「那不願給自己兄弟建立家室的人，應這樣對待他。」
10 After that happens, that man’s family will be known as ‘the family of the man whose sandal was pulled off’.
從此他的名字，在以色列中，將稱為「脫鞋者的家。」
11 When [two] men are fighting with each other, and the one man’s wife comes near to help her husband by grabbing hold of the other man’s genitals,
若兩人彼此毆打，一人的妻子前來，救她的丈夫脫離那打他者的手，伸手抓住了那人的陰部；
12 do not act mercifully toward her; cut off her hand.
你應砍去她的手，不應表示憐惜。
13 “[When you are buying or selling things], do not try to cheat people by having two kinds of weights, [one which you use when you buy something and one which you use when you sell something], and two kinds of measuring baskets, [one which you use when you buy something and one which you use when you sell something].
在你袋裏不可有兩樣法碼：一大一小；
在你家內也不可有兩樣升斗：一大一小。
15 Always use correct weights and correct measuring baskets, in order that Yahweh our God will allow you to live a long time in the land that he is giving to you.
你應有準確公正的法碼，應有準確公正的升斗，好使你在上主你的天主賜給你的地上，得享長壽；
16 Yahweh hates all those who act dishonestly, [and he will punish them].
因為凡做這些事的，凡做事不公平的，於上主你的天主都是可憎惡的。
17 Continue to remember what the Amalek people-group did to your ancestors when they were coming out of Egypt.
你應記得，當你由埃及出來時，阿瑪肋克在路上怎樣對待了你：
18 They attacked your ancestors as your ancestors were traveling, when they were weak and exhausted. Those people were not afraid of God at all, so they attacked your ancestors from the rear and killed all those who were unable to walk as fast as the others.
怎樣在路上襲擊了你，乘你困乏無力，攻擊你後方所有疲憊的人，一點也不怕天主。
19 Therefore, when Yahweh our God has given you the land [that he promised to give you], and when he has enabled you to rest from [fighting] all your enemies around you, kill all the Amalek people-group, with the result that no one will remember them any more. Do not forget [to do this]!”
所以，當上主你的天主賜你擺脫你四周的一切仇敵，在上主你的天主賜給你作產業的地上，安享太平時，你應由天下抹去阿瑪肋克的名字；不可忘記!
