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.
| هرگاه بین دو نفر نزاعی درگیرد و آنها به دادگاه بروند، دادگاه باید مجرم را محکوم نماید و بی‌گناه را تبرئه کند. اگر مجرم مستحق شلّاق خوردن باشد باید قاضی به او دستور دهد که دراز بکشد و در حضور خودش به نسبت جرمی که انجام داده تا چهل ضربه شلّاقش بزنند؛ ولی نباید بیش از چهل ضربه شلّاق بزنید مبادا برادرتان در نظر شما خوار گردد. |
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.
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.
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].
| دهان گاوی را که خرمن می‌کوبد، نبند و بگذار به هنگام کار، از خرمنت بخورد. |
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.
| هرگاه دو برادر با هم در یک جا ساکن باشند و یکی از آنها بدون داشتن پسری بمیرد، بیوه‌اش نباید با فردی خارج از خانواده ازدواج کند، بلکه برادر شوهرش باید او را به زنی بگیرد و حق برادر شوهری را به جا آورد. |
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.
| نخستین پسری که از این ازدواج به دنیا بیاید باید به عنوان پسر برادر فوت شده محسوب گردد تا اسم آن متوفی از اسرائیل فراموش نشود، |
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.’
| ولی اگر برادر متوفی راضی به این ازدواج نباشد، آنگاه آن زن باید به دروازۀ شهر نزد مشایخ برود و به آنها بگوید: «برادر شوهرم وظیفه‌اش را نسبت به من انجام نمی‌دهد و نمی‌گذارد نام برادرش در اسرائیل باقی بماند.» |
8 Then the elders must summon that man and talk to him. If he still refuses to marry that widow,
| سپس مشایخ شهر آن مرد را احضار کرده، با او صحبت کنند. اگر او باز راضی به ازدواج نشد، |
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.’
| زن بیوه باید در حضور مشایخ به طرف آن مرد رفته، کفش او را از پایش درآورد و آب دهان بر صورتش بیفکند و بگوید: «بر مردی که اجاق خانهٔ برادرش را روشن نگه نمی‌دارد اینچنین شود.» |
10 After that happens, that man’s family will be known as ‘the family of the man whose sandal was pulled off’.
| و از آن پس، خاندان آن مرد در اسرائیل به «خاندان کفش کنده» شناخته خواهد شد. |
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,
| اگر دو مرد با هم نزاع کنند و همسر یکی از آنها برای کمک به شوهرش مداخله نموده، عورت مرد دیگر را بگیرد، |
12 do not act mercifully toward her; cut off her hand.
| دست آن زن را باید بدون ترحم قطع کرد. |
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].
| در کلیهٔ معاملات خود باید از ترازوهای دقیق و اندازه‌های درست استفاده کنید تا در سرزمینی که خداوند، خدایتان به شما می‌دهد زندگی طولانی داشته باشید. |
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.
16 Yahweh hates all those who act dishonestly, [and he will punish them].
| تمام کسانی که در معاملات کلاهبرداری می‌کنند مورد نفرت خداوند می‌باشند. |
17 Continue to remember what the Amalek people-group did to your ancestors when they were coming out of Egypt.
| هرگز نباید کاری را که مردم عمالیق هنگام بیرون آمدن از مصر با شما کردند فراموش کنید. |
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.
| به یاد داشته باشید که ایشان بدون ترس از خدا با شما جنگیده، کسانی را که در اثر ضعف و خستگی عقب مانده بودند به هلاکت رسانیدند. |
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]!”
| بنابراین وقتی که خداوند، خدایتان در سرزمین موعود شما را از شر تمامی دشمنانتان خلاصی بخشید، باید نام عمالیق را از روی زمین محو و نابود کنید. هرگز این را فراموش نکنید. |
