申命記 25
1 幾時人與人之間發生爭訟，而對簿公庭，定案時，正直的，應聲明他正直；有罪的，應判定他有罪；
If there is a dispute between men and they go to court, and the judges judge them, then they will acquit the righteous and condemn the wicked.
2 如有罪的應受鞭刑，判官應命他伏下，當面按他的罪照數鞭打；
If the guilty man deserves to be beaten, then the judge will make him lie down and be beaten in his presence with the ordered number of blows, as was his crime.
3 只可打他四十下，不可再多；怕鞭打他超過這數目，你的兄弟在你眼前過於受辱。
The judge may give him forty blows, but he may not exceed that number; for if he should exceed that number and beat him with many more blows, then your fellow Israelite would be humiliated before your eyes.
4 牛在打場的時候，不可籠住牠的嘴。
You must not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
5 如果兄弟住在一起，其中一個沒有留下兒子就死了；死者的妻子不可出嫁外人，丈夫的兄弟應走近她，以她為妻，對她履行兄弟的義務。
If brothers live together and one of them dies, not having any son, then the wife of the dead man must not be married off to someone else outside the family. Instead, her husband's brother must sleep with her and take her to himself as a wife, and do the duty of a husband's brother to her.
6 她所生的長子，應歸亡兄名下，免得他的名由以色列中消滅。
This is so that the firstborn that she bears will succeed in the name of that man's dead brother, so that his name will not perish from Israel.
7 若是那人不肯娶他兄弟的妻子，他兄弟的妻子應到城門去見長老說：「我丈夫的兄弟不願在以色列中給自己的兄弟留名，不願對我盡兄弟的義務。」
But if the man does not wish to take his brother's wife for himself, then his brother's wife must go up to the gate to the elders and say, 'My husband's brother refuses to raise up for his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband's brother to me.'
8 本城的長老應叫那人來，對他說明；如他仍堅持說：「我不願娶她。」
Then the elders of his city must call him and speak to him. But suppose that he insists and says, 'I do not wish to take her.'
9 他兄弟的妻子應當著長老的面，走到他跟前，從他腳上脫下他的鞋，向他臉上吐唾沫說：「那不願給自己兄弟建立家室的人，應這樣對待他。」
Then his brother's wife must come up to him in the presence of the elders, take off his sandal from his foot, and spit in his face. She must answer him and say, 'This is what is done to the man who does not build up his brother's house.'
10 從此他的名字，在以色列中，將稱為「脫鞋者的家。」
His name will be called in Israel, 'The house of him whose sandal has been taken off.'
11 若兩人彼此毆打，一人的妻子前來，救她的丈夫脫離那打他者的手，伸手抓住了那人的陰部；
If men fight with each other, and the wife of one comes to rescue her husband out of the hand of him who struck him, and if she stretches out her hand and takes him by the private parts,
12 你應砍去她的手，不應表示憐惜。
then you must cut off her hand; your eye must have no pity.
13 在你袋裏不可有兩樣法碼：一大一小；
You must not have in your bag different weights, a large and a small.
14 在你家內也不可有兩樣升斗：一大一小。
You must not have in your house different measures, a large and a small.
15 你應有準確公正的法碼，應有準確公正的升斗，好使你在上主你的天主賜給你的地上，得享長壽；
A perfect and just weight you must have; a perfect and just measure you must have, so that your days may be long in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you.
16 因為凡做這些事的，凡做事不公平的，於上主你的天主都是可憎惡的。
For all who do such things, all that act unrighteously, are an abomination to Yahweh your God.
17 你應記得，當你由埃及出來時，阿瑪肋克在路上怎樣對待了你：
Call to mind what Amalek did to you on the road as you came out of Egypt,
18 怎樣在路上襲擊了你，乘你困乏無力，攻擊你後方所有疲憊的人，一點也不怕天主。
how he met you on the road and attacked those of you at the rear, all who were feeble in your rear, when you were faint and weary; he did not honor God.
19 所以，當上主你的天主賜你擺脫你四周的一切仇敵，在上主你的天主賜給你作產業的地上，安享太平時，你應由天下抹去阿瑪肋克的名字；不可忘記!
Therefore, when Yahweh your God has given you rest from all your enemies round about, in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you must not forget that you must blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
