申命記 25
1 「人若有爭訟，來聽審判，審判官就要定義人有理，定惡人有罪。
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 惡人若該受責打，審判官就要叫他當面伏在地上，按着他的罪照數責打。
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，不可過數；若過數，便是輕賤你的弟兄了。
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 「牛在場上踹穀的時候，不可籠住牠的嘴。」
You must not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
5 「弟兄同居，若死了一個，沒有兒子，死人的妻不可出嫁外人，她丈夫的兄弟當盡弟兄的本分，娶她為妻，與她同房。
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 婦人生的長子必歸死兄的名下，免得他的名在以色列中塗抹了。
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 那人若不願意娶他哥哥的妻，他哥哥的妻就要到城門長老那裏，說：『我丈夫的兄弟不肯在以色列中興起他哥哥的名字，不給我盡弟兄的本分。』
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 本城的長老就要召那人來問他，他若執意說：『我不願意娶她』，
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 他哥哥的妻就要當着長老到那人的跟前，脫了他的鞋，吐唾沫在他臉上，說：『凡不為哥哥建立家室的都要這樣待他。』
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 在以色列中，他的名必稱為脫鞋之家。」
His name will be called in Israel, 'The house of him whose sandal has been taken off.'
11 「若有二人爭鬥，這人的妻近前來，要救她丈夫脫離那打她丈夫之人的手，抓住那人的下體，
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 就要砍斷婦人的手，眼不可顧惜她。
then you must cut off her hand; your eye must have no pity.
13 「你囊中不可有一大一小兩樣的法碼。
You must not have in your bag different weights, a large and a small.
14 你家裏不可有一大一小兩樣的升斗。
You must not have in your house different measures, a large and a small.
15 當用對準公平的法碼，公平的升斗。這樣，在耶和華－你上帝所賜你的地上，你的日子就可以長久。
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 因為行非義之事的人都是耶和華－你上帝所憎惡的。」
For all who do such things, all that act unrighteously, are an abomination to Yahweh your God.
17 「你要記念你們出埃及的時候，亞瑪力人在路上怎樣待你。
Call to mind what Amalek did to you on the road as you came out of Egypt,
18 他們在路上遇見你，趁你疲乏困倦擊殺你儘後邊軟弱的人，並不敬畏上帝。
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 所以耶和華－你上帝使你不被四圍一切的仇敵擾亂，在耶和華－你上帝賜你為業的地上得享平安。那時，你要將亞瑪力的名號從天下塗抹了，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.
