Deuteronomio 25
1 Cuando hubiere pleito entre algunos y recurrieren al juez, se les juzgue, y sea absuelto el inocente y condenado el culpable.
And if there should be a dispute between men, and they should come forward to judgment, and [the judges] judge, and justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked:
2 Y si el culpable ha merecido ser azotado, el juez lo mandará tender en el suelo, y en su presencia le hará azotar a medida de su delito, contando los azotes.
then it shall come to pass, if the unrighteous should be worthy of stripes, you shall lay him down before the judges, and they shall scourge him before them according to his iniquity.
3 No le hará dar más de cuarenta azotes, no sea que continúe dándole muchos azotes más y quede tu hermano deshonrado a tus ojos.
And they shall scourge him with forty stripes in number, they shall not inflict more; for if you should scourge him [with] more stripes beyond these stripes, your brother will be disgraced before you.
4 No pondrás bozal al buey que trilla.
You shall not muzzle the ox that treads out the corn.
5 Si hermanos viven juntos y muriere uno de ellos sin tener hijos, la mujer del difunto no se casará fuera con un extraño, sino que su cuñado se llegará a ella y la tomará por mujer, cumpliendo con ella el deber del levirato.
And if brethren should live together, and one of them should die, and should not have seed, the wife of the deceased shall not marry out [of the family] to a man not related: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and shall take her to himself for a wife, and shall dwell with her.
6 El primogénito que ella diere a luz, será sucesor del nombre del hermano difunto, para que su nombre no se borre de Israel.
And it shall come to pass that the child which she shall bear, shall be named by the name of the deceased, and his name shall not be blotted out of Israel.
7 Pero si el hombre no deseare tomar a su cuñada, subirá esta a la puerta donde están los ancianos, y dirá: ‘Rehúsa mi cuñado resucitar el nombre de su hermano en Israel; no quiere cumplir conmigo el deber de levirato.’
And if the man should not be willing to take his brother's wife, then shall the woman go up to the gate to the elders, and she shall say, My husband's brother will not raise up the name of his brother in Israel, my husband's brother has refused.
8 Entonces le llamarán los ancianos de su ciudad y le hablarán; y si él persiste y dice: ‘No quiero tomarla’,
And the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him; and if he stand and say, I will not take her:
9 su cuñada se acercará a él y en presencia de los ancianos le quitará el calzado del pie, le escupirá en la cara y contestará diciendo: ‘Así se ha de hacer al hombre que no quiere edificar la casa de su hermano.’
then his brother's wife shall come forward before the elders, and shall loose one shoe from off his foot, and shall spit in his face, and shall answer and say, Thus shall they do to the man who will not build his brother's house in Israel.
10 Y se le dará en Israel este nombre: La casa del descalzado.
And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that has had his shoe loosed.
11 Si entre hombres que riñen, el uno con el otro, y la mujer del uno de ellos se acerca para librar a su marido de la mano del que lo golpea, y alargando la mano (contra este) le agarra por las partes vergonzosas,
And if men should strive together, a man with his brother, and the wife of one of them should advance to rescue her husband out of the hand of him that smites him, and she should stretch forth her hand, and take hold of his private parts;
12 le cortarás a ella la mano; tu ojo no tendrá compasión.
you shall cut off her hand; your eye shall not spare her.
13 No tendrás en tu bolsa dos pesas: una grande y otra chica.
You shall not have in your bag various weights, a great and a small.
14 No tendrás en tu casa dos medidas: una grande y otra chica.
You shall not have in your house various measures, a great and a small.
15 Tendrás pesa exacta y justa; tendrás medida exacta y justa; para que vivas largo tiempo en la tierra que Yahvé, tu Dios, va a darte.
You shall have a true and just weight, and a true and just measure, that you may live long upon the land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance.
16 Porque abominable ante Yahvé, tu Dios, es todo el que hace tales cosas, todo el que comete iniquidad.
For every one that does this [is] an abomination to the Lord your God, even every one that does injustice.
17 Acuérdate de lo que hizo Amalec en el camino, cuando saliste de Egipto,
Remember what things Amalec did to you by the way, when you went forth out of the land of Egypt:
18 cómo te salió al encuentro en el camino, y asaltó a tus rezagados, todos los débiles que iban atrás, estando tú fatigado y agotado; y cómo no tuvo temor de Dios.
how he withstood you in the way, and harassed your rear, [even] those that were weary behind you, and you did hunger and was weary; and he did not fear God.
19 Ahora bien, cuando Yahvé, tu Dios, te diere descanso de todos tus enemigos a la redonda, en el país que Yahvé, tu Dios, te dará en propiedad hereditaria, borrarás la memoria de Amalec de debajo del cielo. No lo olvides.
And it shall come to pass whenever the Lord your God shall have given you rest from all your enemies round about you, in the land which the Lord your God gives you to inherit, you shall blot out the name of Amalec from under heaven, and shall not forget [to do it].
