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 [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 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.
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 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.
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 Ne boš zavezal gobca volu, kadar mane žito.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.‹
“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 Potem ga bodo starešine njegovega mesta poklicali in mu govorili. Če pa se temu zoperstavi in reče: ›Ne maram je vzeti, ‹
Then the elders must summon that man and talk to him. If he still refuses to marry that widow,
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.‹
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 Njegovo ime bo v Izraelu imenovano: ›Hiša tistega, ki je sezut.‹
After that happens, that man’s family will be known as ‘the family of the man whose sandal was pulled off’.
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 [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 potem boš odsekal njeno roko, tvoje oko se je ne bo usmililo.
do not act mercifully toward her; cut off her hand.
13 V svoji torbi ne boš imel različnih uteži, velike in male.
“[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 V svoji hiši ne boš imel različnih mer, velike in male.
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.
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 Kajti vsi, ki počno takšne stvari, in vsi, ki počno nepravično, so ogabnost Gospodu, tvojemu Bogu.
Yahweh hates all those who act dishonestly, [and he will punish them].
17 Spomni se kaj ti je po poti storil Amálek, ko ste izšli iz Egipta,
Continue to remember what the Amalek people-group did to your ancestors when they were coming 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.
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 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, 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]!”
