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 controversy between men, and they come to judgement and the judges judge them, then they shall justify 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
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.
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
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.
4 穀物を碾す牛に口籠をかく可らず
You shall 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 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.
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
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.
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
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.”
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 to him. If he stands and says, “I don’t want 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 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.”
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 shall be called in Israel, “The house of him who had his sandal removed.”
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 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,
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 shall cut off her hand. Your 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
You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, one heavy and one light.
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 shall not have in your house diverse measures, one large and one 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
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.
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 who do unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD 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
Remember what Amalek did to you by the way 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 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.
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 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.
