申命記 25
1 人と人との間に爭辯ありて來りて審判を求むる時は士師これを鞫きその義き者を義とし惡き者を惡とすべし
If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, and the judges judge them, by justifying the righteous, and condemning the wicked,
2 その惡き者もし鞭つべき者ならば士師これを伏せその罪にしたがひて數のごとく自己の前にてこれを扑すべし
then it shall be, if the wicked man deserve to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to the measure of his wickedness, by number.
3 これを扑ことは四十を逾べからず若これを逾て是よりも多く扑ときは汝その汝の兄弟を賤め視にいたらん
Forty stripes he may give him, he shall not exceed; lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should be dishonoured before thine eyes.
4 穀物を碾す牛に口籠をかく可らず
Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.
5 兄弟ともに居んにその中の一人死て子を遺さざる時はその死たる者の妻いでて他人に嫁ぐべからず其夫の兄弟これの所に入りこれを娶りて妻となし斯してその夫の兄弟たる道をこれに盡し
If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not be married abroad unto one not of his kin; her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her.
6 而してその婦の生ところの初子をもてその死たる兄弟の後を嗣しめその名をイスラエルの中に絶ざらしむべし
And it shall be, that the first-born that she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother that is dead, that his name be not blotted out of Israel.
7 然どその人もしその兄弟の妻をめとることを肯ぜずばその兄弟の妻門にいたりて長老等に言べし吾夫の兄弟はその兄弟の名をイスラエルの中に興ることを肯ぜず吾夫の兄弟たる道を盡すことをせずと
And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then his brother's wife shall go up to the gate unto the elders, and say: 'My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband's brother unto me.'
8 然る時はその邑の長老等かれを呼よせて諭すべし然るも彼堅く執て我はこれを娶ることを好まずと言ば
Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him; and if he stand, and say: 'I like not to take her';
9 その兄弟の妻長老等の前にて彼の側にいたりこれが鞋をその足より脱せその面に唾して答て言べしその兄弟の家を興ることを肯ぜざる者には斯のごとくすべきなりと
then shall his brother's wife draw nigh unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say: 'So shall it be done unto the man that doth not build up his brother's house.'
10 またその人の名は鞋を脱たる者の家とイスラエルの中に稱へらるべし
And his name shall be called in Israel The house of him that had his shoe loosed.
11 人二人あひ爭そふ時に一人の者の妻その夫を撃つ者の手より夫を救はんとて進みより手を伸てその人の陰所を執ふるあらば
When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets;
12 汝その婦の手を切おとすべし之を憫れみ視るべからず
then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall have no pity.
13 汝の嚢の中に一箇は大く一箇は小き二種の權衡石をいれおくべからず
Thou shalt not have in thy bag diverse weights, a great and a small.
14 汝の家に一箇は大く一箇は小き二種の升斗をおくべからず
Thou shalt not have in thy house diverse measures, a great and a small.
15 唯十分なる公正き權衡を有べくまた十分なる公正き升斗を有べし然せば汝の神ヱホバの汝にたまふ地に汝の日永からん
A perfect and just weight shalt thou have; a perfect and just measure shalt thou have; that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
16 凡て斯る事をなす者凡て正しからざる事をなす者は汝の神ヱホバこれを憎みたまふなり
For all that do such things, even all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
17 汝らがエジプトより出きたりし時その路においてアマレクが汝に爲たりし事を記憶よ
Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt;
18 即ち彼らは汝を途に迎へ汝の疲れ倦たるに乗じて汝の後なる弱き者等を攻撃り斯かれらは神を畏れざりき
how he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all that were enfeebled in thy rear, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.
19 然ば汝の神ヱホバの汝に與へて產業となさしめたまふ地において汝の神ヱホバ汝にその周圍の敵を盡く攻ふせて安泰ならしめたまふに至らば汝アマレクの名を天が下より塗抹て之をおぼゆる者なからしむべし
Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget.
