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 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.
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
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.
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
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.
4 穀物を碾す牛に口籠をかく可らず
You must not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
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 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.
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
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.
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
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.'
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 must call him and speak to him. But suppose that he insists and says, 'I do not wish 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 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.'
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
His name will be called in Israel, 'The house of him whose sandal has been taken off.'
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
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,
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 you must cut off her hand; your eye must 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
You must not have in your bag different weights, a large 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
You must not have in your house different measures, a large 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 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.
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 who do such things, all that act unrighteously, are an abomination to Yahweh your 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
Call to mind what Amalek did to you on the road as you came 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 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.
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, 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.
