Deuteronômio 25
1 Quando houver pleito entre alguns, e vierem a juízo, e os julgarem, e absolverem ao justo e condenarem ao iníquo,
“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 Será que, se o delinquente merecer ser açoitado, então o juiz o fará lançar em terra, e o fará açoitar diante de si, segundo seu delito, por 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 Fará lhe dar quarenta açoites, não mais: não seja que, se o ferir com muitos açoites a mais destes, se humilhe teu irmão diante de 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 porás mordaça 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 irmãos estiverem juntos, e morrer algum deles, e não tiver filho, a mulher do morto não se casará fora com homem estranho: seu cunhado entrará a ela, e a tomará por sua mulher, e fará com ela parentesco.
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 primogênito que der à luz ela, se levantará em nome de seu irmão o morto, para que o nome deste não seja apagado de 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 E se o homem não quiser tomar a sua cunhada, irá então a cunhada sua à porta aos anciãos, e dirá: Meu cunhado não quer suscitar nome em Israel a seu irmão; não quer aparentar-se comigo.
“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 daquela cidade o farão vir, e falarão com ele: e se ele se levantar, e disser, Não quero tomá-la,
Then the elders must summon that man and talk to him. If he still refuses to marry that widow,
9 Então se aproximará sua cunhada a ele diante dos anciãos, e o descalçará o sapato de seu pé, e lhe cuspirá no rosto, e falará e dirá: Assim será feito 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 seu nome será chamado em Israel: A casa do descalço.
After that happens, that man’s family will be known as ‘the family of the man whose sandal was pulled off’.
11 Quando alguns brigarem juntos um com o outro, e chegar a mulher de um para livrar a seu marido da mão do que lhe fere, e meter sua mão e lhe pegar por 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 Tu a cortarás então a mão, não a perdoará teu olho.
do not act mercifully toward her; cut off her hand.
13 Não terás em tua bolsa peso grande e peso 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 Não terás em tua casa efa grande e efa pequeno.
15 Pesos íntegros e justos terás; efa íntegro e justo terás: para que teus dias sejam prolongados sobre a terra que o SENHOR teu Deus te dá.
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 qualquer um que faz isto, qualquer um que faz injustiça.
Yahweh hates all those who act dishonestly, [and he will punish them].
17 Lembra-te do que te fez Amaleque no caminho, quando saístes do Egito:
Continue to remember what the Amalek people-group did to your ancestors when they were coming out of Egypt.
18 Que te saiu ao caminho, e te desbaratou a retaguarda de todos os fracos que iam detrás de ti, quando tu estavas cansado e exausto; 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, quando o SENHOR teu Deus te houver dado repouso de teus inimigos ao redor, na terra que o SENHOR teu Deus te dá por herdar para que a possuas, que apagarás a memória de Amaleque 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]!”
