Deuteronômio 25
1 Quando houver contenda entre alguns, e vierem ao juizo, para que os julguem, ao justo justificarão, e ao injusto condemnarão.
“If [two] Israelis have a dispute and they go to a court, the judge will [probably] decide/declare that one of them (is innocent/did not do any wrong) and the other one is guilty.
2 E será que, se o injusto merecer açoites, o juiz o fará deitar, e o fará açoitar diante de si, quanto bastar pela sua injustiça, por certa conta
If the judge says that the guilty person must be punished, he shall command him to lie [with his face] on the ground and be whipped. The number of times he is struck with a whip will depend on [what kind of] crime he committed.
3 Quarenta açoites lhe fará dar, não mais; para que, porventura, se lhe fizer dar mais açoites do que estes, teu irmão não fique envilecido aos teus olhos
It is permitted that he be struck as many as 40 times, but no more than that. If he is struck more than 40 times, he would be humiliated publicly.
4 Não atarás a bocca ao boi, quando trilhar.
When your ox is treading/walking on the grain [to separate the chaff from the grain], do not (muzzle it/put a covering on its mouth) [to prevent it from eating some of the grain].
5 Quando alguns irmãos morarem juntos, e algum d'elles morrer, e não tiver filho, então a mulher do defunto não se casará com homem estranho de fóra; seu cunhado entrará a ella, e a tomará por mulher, e fará a obrigação de cunhado para com ella.
If two brothers live on the same property, and one of them who has no son dies, the man’s widow should not marry someone who is not a member of his family. The dead man’s brother must marry her and have sex [EUP] with her. It is his duty to do that.
6 E será que o primogenito que ella parir estará em nome de seu irmão defunto; para que o seu nome se não apague em Israel.
If she later gives birth to a son, that son is to be considered [MTY] the son of the man who died, in order that the dead man’s name will not disappear from Israel.
7 Porém, se o tal homem não quizer tomar sua cunhada, subirá então sua cunhada á porta dos anciãos, e dirá: Meu cunhado recusa suscitar a seu irmão nome em Israel; não quer fazer para comigo o dever de cunhado.
“But if the dead man’s brother does not want to marry that woman, she must stand at the (gate/central meeting place) of the town and say to the [town] elders, ‘My husband’s brother will not do (his duty/what he is supposed to do). He refuses to [marry me in order that I may give birth to a son who will] prevent my dead husband’s name from disappearing in Israel.’
8 Então os anciãos da sua cidade o chamarão, e com elle fallarão: e, se elle ficar n'isto, e disser; Não quero tomal-a;
Then the elders must summon that man and talk to him. If he still refuses to marry that widow,
9 Então sua cunhada se chegará a elle aos olhos dos anciãos; e lhe descalçará o sapato do pé, e lhe cuspirá no rosto, e protestará, e dirá: Assim se fará ao homem que não edificar a casa de seu irmão:
she must go up to him while the elders are watching, and take off one of his sandals [to symbolize/show that he would not receive any of her property], and spit in his face, and say to him, ‘This is what happens to the man who refuses to do what is needed [to allow his dead brother to have a son] in order that our family name does not disappear.’
10 E o seu nome se chamará em Israel: A casa do descalçado.
After that happens, that man’s family will be known as ‘the family of the man whose sandal was pulled off’.
11 Quando pelejarem dois homens, um contra o outro, e a mulher d'um chegar para livrar a seu marido da mão do que o fere, e ella estender a sua mão, e lhe pegar pelas suas vergonhas,
When [two] men are fighting with each other, and the one man’s wife comes near to help her husband by grabbing hold of the other man’s genitals,
12 Então cortar-lhe-has a mão: não a poupará o teu olho.
do not act mercifully toward her; cut off her hand.
13 Na tua bolsa não terás diversos pesos, um grande e um pequeno.
“[When you are buying or selling things], do not try to cheat people by having two kinds of weights, [one which you use when you buy something and one which you use when you sell something], and two kinds of measuring baskets, [one which you use when you buy something and one which you use when you sell something].
14 Na tua casa não terás duas sortes d'epha, uma grande e uma pequena.
15 Peso inteiro e justo terás; epha inteira e justa terás; para que se prolonguem os teus dias na terra que te dará o Senhor teu Deus.
Always use correct weights and correct measuring baskets, in order that Yahweh our God will allow you to live a long time in the land that he is giving to you.
16 Porque abominação é ao Senhor teu Deus todo aquelle que faz isto, todo aquelle que fizer injustiça.
Yahweh hates all those who act dishonestly, [and he will punish them].
17 Lembra-te do que te fez Amalek no caminho, quando saieis do Egypto;
Continue to remember what the Amalek people-group did to your ancestors when they were coming out of Egypt.
18 Como te saiu ao encontro no caminho, e te derribou na rectaguarda todos os fracos que iam após ti, estando tu cançado e afadigado; e não temeu a Deus.
They attacked your ancestors as your ancestors were traveling, when they were weak and exhausted. Those people were not afraid of God at all, so they attacked your ancestors from the rear and killed all those who were unable to walk as fast as the others.
19 Será pois que, quando o Senhor teu Deus te tiver dado repouso de todos os teus inimigos em redor, na terra que o Senhor teu Deus te dará por herança, para possuil-a, então apagarás a memoria de Amalek de debaixo do céu: não te esqueças.
Therefore, when Yahweh our God has given you the land [that he promised to give you], and when he has enabled you to rest from [fighting] all your enemies around you, kill all the Amalek people-group, with the result that no one will remember them any more. Do not forget [to do this]!”
