Deuteronomy 25
1 If there is a dispute between men and they go to court, and the judges judge them, then they will acquit 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 If the guilty man deserves to be beaten, then the judge will make him lie down and be beaten in his presence with the ordered number of blows, as was his crime.
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 The judge may give him forty blows, but he may not exceed that number; for if he should exceed that number and beat him with many more blows, then your fellow Israelite would be humiliated before 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 must not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
No embozalarás al buey cuando trillare.
5 If brothers live together and one of them dies, not having any son, then the wife of the dead man must not be married off to someone else outside the family. Instead, her husband's brother must sleep with her and take her to himself as a wife, and do 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 This is so that the firstborn that she bears will succeed in the name of that man's dead brother, so that his name will not perish from 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 But if the man does not wish to take his brother's wife for himself, then his brother's wife must go up to the gate to the elders and say, 'My husband's brother refuses to raise up for 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 must call him and speak to him. But suppose that he insists and says, 'I do not wish 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 must come up to him in the presence of the elders, take off his sandal from his foot, and spit in his face. She must answer him and say, 'This is what is 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 will be called in Israel, 'The house of him whose sandal has been taken off.'
Y su nombre será llamado en Israel, la casa del descalzado.
11 If men fight with each other, and the wife of one comes to rescue her husband out of the hand of him who struck him, and if she stretches out 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 must cut off her hand; your eye must have no pity.
Entonces cortarle has la mano, no perdonará tu ojo.
13 You must not have in your bag different weights, a large and a small.
No tendrás en tu bolsa pesa grande y pesa chica.
14 You must not have in your house different measures, a large and a small.
No tendrás en tu casa efa grande y efa chica.
15 A perfect and just weight you must have; a perfect and just measure you must have, so that your days may be long in the land that Yahweh your God is giving 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 that act unrighteously, are an abomination to Yahweh your God.
Porque abominación es a Jehová tu Dios cualquiera que hace esto, cualquiera que hace injusticia.
17 Call to mind what Amalek did to you on the road as you came out of Egypt,
Acuérdate de lo que te hizo Amalec en el camino cuando salistes de Egipto:
18 how he met you on the road and attacked those of you at the rear, all who were feeble in your rear, when you were faint and weary; he did not honor 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, when Yahweh your God has given you rest from all your enemies round about, in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you must not forget that you must blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
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.
