Deuteronomy 25
1 If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgement and the judges judge them, then they shall justify the righteous and condemn the wicked.
Misalkan dua orang Israel pergi ke pengadilan untuk mengadukan suatu perkara, lalu yang seorang dinyatakan tidak bersalah, dan yang lain bersalah.
2 It shall be, if the wicked man is worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down and to be beaten before his face, according to his wickedness, by number.
Kalau yang bersalah dijatuhi hukuman cambuk, hakim harus menyuruh dia menelungkup. Jumlah cambukan tergantung dari kejahatan yang telah dilakukannya,
3 He may sentence him to no more than forty stripes. He shall not give more, lest if he should give more and beat him more than that many stripes, then your brother will be degraded in your sight.
tetapi tidak boleh lebih dari empat puluh kali. Kalau lebih, berarti orang itu dihina di depan umum.
4 You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
Jangan memberangus mulut sapi yang sedang menebah gandum."
5 If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has 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 as his wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her.
"Kalau orang-orang yang bersaudara tinggal bersama, lalu salah seorang dari mereka mati tanpa meninggalkan anak laki-laki, maka jandanya tak boleh kawin dengan orang lain di luar keluarga mendiang suaminya. Saudara almarhum wajib kawin dengan janda itu.
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.
Anak laki-laki sulung mereka harus dianggap anak saudara yang mati itu, supaya ia mempunyai keturunan di antara bangsa 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.”
Kalau orang itu tidak mau kawin dengan istri mendiang saudaranya, wanita itu harus pergi menghadap para pemuka kota dan berkata, 'Ipar saya tidak mau melakukan kewajibannya memberi kepada saudaranya seorang keturunan di antara bangsa Israel.'
8 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him. If he stands and says, “I don’t want to take her,”
Lalu para pemuka kota harus memanggil orang itu dan bicara dengan dia. Kalau ia tetap menolak,
9 then his brother’s wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his sandal from off his foot, and spit in his face. She shall answer and say, “So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother’s house.”
istri mendiang saudaranya harus mendekati dia di depan para pemuka kota, mencabut sandal orang itu, meludahi mukanya dan berkata, 'Begini harus diperlakukan orang yang tak mau memberi keturunan kepada saudaranya.'
10 His name shall be called in Israel, “The house of him who had his sandal removed.”
Keluarga orang itu akan dikenal di Israel sebagai 'Keluarga orang yang dicabut sandalnya.'"
11 When men strive against each other, and the wife of one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him who strikes him, and puts out her hand, and grabs him by his private parts,
"Kalau dua orang laki-laki sedang berkelahi dan istri yang seorang berusaha menolong suaminya dengan meremas kemaluan lawan suaminya,
12 then you shall cut off her hand. Your eye shall have no pity.
potonglah tangan wanita itu dan jangan kasihani dia.
13 You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, one heavy and one light.
Jangan menipu dengan memakai timbangan dan takaran yang tidak betul.
14 You shall not have in your house diverse measures, one large and one small.
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 the LORD your God gives you.
Pakailah timbangan dan takaran yang tepat supaya kamu panjang umur di negeri yang diberikan TUHAN Allahmu kepadamu.
16 For all who do such things, all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD your God.
TUHAN Allahmu benci kepada orang yang suka menipu."
17 Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came out of Egypt,
"Ingatlah bagaimana orang Amalek memperlakukan kamu pada waktu kamu dalam perjalanan keluar dari Mesir.
18 how he met you by the way, and struck the rearmost of you, all who were feeble behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he didn’t fear God.
Mereka tidak takut kepada Allah dan menyerang kamu dari belakang ketika kamu sedang kelelahan dan kehabisan tenaga, lalu membunuh semua orang-orangmu yang dengan susah payah berjalan di belakang.
19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies all around, in the land which the LORD 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.
Oleh sebab itu, kalau TUHAN Allahmu sudah memberi negeri itu kepadamu dan kamu aman dari semua musuh yang tinggal di sekelilingmu, semua orang Amalek itu harus kamu bunuh sehingga mereka tidak diingat lagi. Jangan lupa!"
