5 Mojzes 25
1 Če je polemika med ljudmi in pridejo na sodbo, da bi jim sodniki lahko sodili, potem bodo opravičili pravičnega in obsodili zlobnega.
If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, and [the judges] judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.
2 Zgodilo se bo, če bo zloben človek vreden, da bi bil pretepen, da mu bo sodnik povzročil, da se uleže in da bo z določenim številom udarcev pretepen pred njegovim obrazom, glede na njegovo krivdo.
And it shall be, if the wicked man be 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 Štirideset udarcev mu lahko naloži in ne več, da se ti tvoj brat ne bi zdel onečaščen, če bi prekoračil in ga pretepel z mnogimi udarci nad temi.
Forty stripes he may give him, he shall not exceed; lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.
4 Ne boš zavezal gobca volu, kadar mane žito.
Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out [the grain].
5 Če bratje prebivajo skupaj in eden izmed njih umre in nima otroka, se žena mrtvega ne bo poročila zunaj, s tujcem. Njen svak bo šel noter k njej in jo vzel k sebi za ženo in ji izpolnil dolžnost soprogovega brata.
If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married without unto a stranger: her husband’s brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother unto her.
6 Zgodilo se bo, da bo prvorojenec, ki ga ona rodi, nasledil ime njegovega brata, ki je mrtev, da njegovo ime ne bo izbrisano iz Izraela.
And it shall be, that the first-born that she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother that is dead, that his name be not blotted out of Israel.
7 Če pa mož ne mara vzeti svakinje, potem naj gre žena njegovega brata gor k velikim vratom do starešin in reče: ›Brat mojega soproga odklanja, da bi svojemu bratu vzdignil ime v Izraelu; noče izpolniti dolžnosti brata mojega soproga.‹
And if the man like not to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband’s brother unto me.
8 Potem ga bodo starešine njegovega mesta poklicali in mu govorili. Če pa se temu zoperstavi in reče: ›Ne maram je vzeti, ‹
Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand, and say, I like not to take her;
9 potem bo žena njegovega brata prišla k njemu v prisotnosti starešin in sezula njegov čevelj iz njegovega stopala in pljunila v njegov obraz in odgovorila ter rekla: ›Tako bo storjeno tistemu možu, ki noče graditi hiše svojega brata.‹
then shall his brother’s wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto the man that doth not build up his brother’s house.
10 Njegovo ime bo v Izraelu imenovano: ›Hiša tistega, ki je sezut.‹
And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed.
11 Kadar se možje skupaj prepirajo drug z drugim in se žena enega približa, da bi svojega soproga osvobodila iz roke tistega, ki ga udarja in iztegne svojo roko, da ga zgrabi za njegove genitalije,
When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets;
12 potem boš odsekal njeno roko, tvoje oko se je ne bo usmililo.
then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall have no pity.
13 V svoji torbi ne boš imel različnih uteži, velike in male.
Thou shalt not have in thy bag diverse weights, a great and a small.
14 V svoji hiši ne boš imel različnih mer, velike in male.
Thou shalt not have in thy house diverse measures, a great and a small.
15 Temveč boš imel popolno in pravično utež, popolno in pravično mero boš imel, da bodo tvoji dnevi lahko podaljšani v deželi, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog.
A perfect and just weight shalt thou have; a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.
16 Kajti vsi, ki počno takšne stvari, in vsi, ki počno nepravično, so ogabnost Gospodu, tvojemu Bogu.
For all that do such things, [even] all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto Jehovah thy God.
17 Spomni se kaj ti je po poti storil Amálek, ko ste izšli iz Egipta,
Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt;
18 kako te je srečal po poti in udaril najbolj zadnje od tebe, torej vse, kar je bilo slabotno za teboj, ko si bil ti slaboten in utrujen, on pa se ni bal Boga.
how he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.
19 Zato bo, ko ti bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, dal počitek pred vsemi tvojimi sovražniki naokoli, v deželi, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog, za dediščino, da jo vzameš v last, da boš izpod neba izbrisal spomin na Amáleka. Tega ne boš pozabil.
Therefore it shall be, when Jehovah thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget.
