Deuteronomio 25
1 Cuando hubiere pleito entre algunos, y vinieren a juicio, y los juzgaren, y absolvieren al justo y condenaren al inicuo,
And if there should be a dispute between men, and they should come forward to judgement, and [the judges] judge, and justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked:
2 será que, si el impío mereciere ser azotado, entonces el juez lo hará echar en tierra, y le hará azotar delante de sí, según su impiedad, por cuenta.
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 Cuarenta veces lo hará herir, no más; no sea que, si lo hiriere con muchos azotes a más de éstos, se envilezca tu hermano delante de 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 cuando trillare.
You shall not muzzle the ox that treads out the corn.
5 Cuando hermanos estuvieren juntos, y muriere alguno de ellos, y no tuviere hijo, la mujer del muerto no se casará fuera con hombre extraño; su cuñado entrará a ella, y la tomará por su mujer, y hará con ella parentesco.
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 Y será que el primogénito que ella diere a luz, se levantará en nombre de su hermano el muerto, para que el nombre de éste no sea raído 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 Y si el hombre no quisiere tomar a su cuñada, irá entonces la cuñada suya a la puerta a los ancianos, y dirá: Mi cuñado no quiere suscitar nombre en Israel a su hermano; no quiere emparentar conmigo.
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 los ancianos de aquella ciudad lo harán venir, y hablarán con él; y si él se levantare, y dijere: 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 se acercará entonces su cuñada a él delante de los ancianos, y le descalzará el zapato de su pie, y le escupirá en el rostro, y hablará y dirá: Así será hecho al varón que no edificare 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 su nombre será llamado en Israel: La casa del descalzado.
And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that has had his shoe loosed.
11 Cuando algunos riñeren juntos el uno con el otro, y llegare la mujer del uno para librar a su marido de mano del que le hiere, y metiere su mano y le trabare de sus vergüenzas;
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 entonces la mano, no la perdonará tu ojo.
you shall cut off her hand; your eye shall not spare her.
13 No tendrás en tu bolsa pesa grande y pesa chica.
You shall not have in your bag various weights, a great and a small.
14 No tendrás en tu casa efa grande y efa pequeño.
You shall not have in your house various measures, a great and a small.
15 Pesas cumplidas y justas tendrás; efa cabal y justo tendrás; para que tus días sean prolongados sobre la tierra que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da.
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 abominación es al SEÑOR tu Dios cualquiera que hace esto, cualquiera que hace tuerto.
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 te hizo Amalec en el camino, cuando salisteis de Egipto;
Remember what things Amalec did to you by the way, when you went forth out of the land of Egypt:
18 que te salió al camino, y te desbarató la retaguardia de todos los flacos que iban detrás de ti, cuando tú estabas cansado y trabajado; y no temió a 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 Será, pues, cuando el SEÑOR tu Dios te hubiere dado reposo de tus enemigos alrededor, en la tierra que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da por heredar para que la poseas, que raerás la memoria de Amalec de debajo del cielo; no te 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].
