Второзаконие 25
1 Аще же будет пря между человеки, и приидут на суд, и да судят, и оправдят праваго, и осудят нечестиваго:
If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgment and the judges judge them, then they shall justify the righteous and condemn the wicked.
2 и будет, аще достоин есть ран нечестивый, да поставиши его пред судиями, и да биют его пред ними по нечестию его:
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 и числом четыредесять ран да наложат ему, и да не приложат к сему: аще же приложат паче ран сих бити его множае, срам будет брату твоему пред тобою.
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 Да не обротиши вола молотяща.
You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
5 Аше же живут братия вкупе, и умрет един от них, семене же не будет ему, да не будет жена умершаго иному мужу несродну: брат мужа ея да внидет к ней и поймет ю себе в жену, и да поживет с нею:
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 и будет очроча, еже аще родится, да поставится во имя умершаго, и не погибнет имя его от Израиля.
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 Аще же не восхощет человек пояти жены брата своего, да приидет жена ко вратом пред старейшины и речет: не хощет брат мужа моего возставити имя брата своего во Израили, не восхоте брат мужа моего:
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 и да призовут его старейшины града того и рекут ему, и став речет: не хощу пояти ю:
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 и приступивши жена брата его к нему пред старейшины, и изует сапог его един от ноги его, и да плюнет на лице его, и отвещавши речет: сице да сотворят человеку, иже не созиждет дому брата своего во Израили:
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 и прозовется имя его во Израили дом изутаго из сапога.
His name shall be called in Israel, “The house of him who had his sandal removed.”
11 Аще же биются человека два вкупе, человек с братом своим, и приступит жена единаго от них отяти мужа своего от руки биющаго и, и простерши руку свою, имет за ятра его,
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 да отсечеши руку ея: да не пощадит око твое ея.
then you shall cut off her hand. Your eye shall have no pity.
13 Да не будет во влагалищи твоем мерило и мерило, великое и малое,
You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, one heavy and one light.
14 да не будет в дому твоем мера и мера, велика и мала:
You shall not have in your house diverse measures, one large and one small.
15 мерило истинно и праведно да будет тебе, и мера истинна и праведна да будет тебе, да многи дни будеши на земли, юже Господь Бог твой дает тебе в жребий,
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 Yahweh your God gives you.
16 яко мерзость Господеви Богу твоему всяк творяй сия, всяк творяй неправду.
For all who do such things, all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to Yahweh your God.
17 Помяни, елика тебе сотвори Амалик на пути, исходящу тебе из Египта:
Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came out of Egypt,
18 како сопротивоста тебе на пути и посече задний полк твой утружден за тобою: ты же алчен был еси и утружден: и не убояся Бога:
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 и будет егда упокоит тя Господь Бог твой от всех враг твоих, иже окрест тебе на земли, юже Господь Бог твой дает тебе в жребий, еже наследити ю, да погубиши имя Амаликово от земли, яже под небесем, и да не забудеши.
Therefore it shall be, when Yahweh your God has given you rest from all your enemies all around, in the land which Yahweh 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.
