Deuteronomy 25
1 If there is some legal argument between two people, they are to go to court to have the case judged, in order to justify the one who is right and condemn the one who is wrong.
Cuando hubiere pleito entre algunos, y vinieren a juicio, y los juzgaren, y absolvieren al justo, y condenaren al impío:
2 If the person who is guilty is sentenced to be flogged, the judge shall order them to lie down and be flogged before him with the number of lashes the crime deserves.
Será que si el impío mereciere ser azotado, entonces el juez le hará echar, y le hará azotar delante de sí, según su impiedad por cuenta.
3 They are not to receive more than forty lashes. More than that would be to publicly humiliate them.
Cuarenta veces le hará herir, no más: porque si le hiriere de muchos azotes allende de estos, no se envilezca tu hermano delante de tus ojos.
4 Don't muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain.
No embozalarás al buey cuando trillare.
5 When two brothers live near to each other and one of them dies without having a son, the widow is not to marry a stranger outside the family. Her husband's brother is to marry her and sleep with her, fulfilling the requirements of a brother-in-law to provide her with children.
Cuando algunos 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.
6 The first son she has will be named after the dead brother, so that his name won't be forgotten in Israel.
Y será, que el primogénito que pariere, se levantará en nombre de su hermano el muerto, porque su nombre no sea raído de Israel.
7 However, if the man refuses to marry his brother's widow, she shall go to the elders at the town gate and tell them, “My husband's brother is refusing to keep his brother's name alive in Israel. He doesn't want to perform the requirements of a brother-in-law for me.”
Y si el hombre no quisiere tomar a su cuñada, entonces su cuñada vendrá a la puerta a los ancianos, y dirá: Mi cuñado no quiere despertar nombre en Israel a su hermano: no quiere hacer parentesco conmigo.
8 The town elders are to summon him and talk with him. If he continues to refuse and says, “I don't want to marry her,”
Entonces los ancianos de aquella ciudad le harán venir, y hablarán con él: y él se levantará, y dirá: Yo no quiero tomarla.
9 his brother's widow is to confront him in the presence of the elders, pull off his sandal, spit in his face, and announce, “This is what happens to the man who refuses to keep his brother's family name alive.”
Y su cuñada se llegará a él delante de los ancianos, y descalzarle ha su zapato de su pie, y escupirle ha en el rostro, y hablará, y dirá: Así sea hecho al varón, que no edificare la casa de su hermano.
10 From then on his family name in Israel will be called “The Family of the Pulled-off Sandal.”
Y su nombre será llamado en Israel, la casa del descalzado.
11 If two men are fighting, and one of their wives intervenes to save her husband from being beaten, and she grabs hold of the attacker's genitals,
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:
12 you are to cut her hand off. Don't show her any mercy.
Entonces cortarle has la mano, no perdonará tu ojo.
13 Don't have two different measuring weights in your bag, one that's heavy and one that's light.
No tendrás en tu bolsa pesa grande y pesa chica.
14 Don't have two different measuring containers in your house, one that's large and one that's small.
No tendrás en tu casa efa grande y efa chica.
15 Make sure you always use accurate and true weights and measures. In that way you will have long lives in the country the Lord your God is giving you.
Pesas cumplidas y justas tendrás: efa cumplida y justa tendrás: para que tus días sean prolongados sobre la tierra, que Jehová tu Dios te da.
16 Anyone who doesn't do so and cheats like this offends the Lord your God.
Porque abominación es a Jehová tu Dios cualquiera que hace esto, cualquiera que hace injusticia.
17 Remember what the Amalekites did to you on your way out of Egypt.
Acuérdate de lo que te hizo Amalec en el camino cuando salistes de Egipto:
18 The came out to confront you when you were tired and weary from your journey, and they attacked all those of you who were lagging behind. They didn't have any respect for God.
Que te salió al camino, y te desguarneció la retaguardia de todos los flacos que iban detrás de ti, cuando tú estabas cansado y trabajado, y no temió a Dios.
19 Once the Lord your God gives you peace after fighting your enemies in the country that he's giving you to take over and own, you are to wipe out even the memory of the Amalekites from the earth. Don't forget!
Y será que cuando Jehová tu Dios te hubiere dado reposo de todos tus enemigos al derredor en la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da por heredad para que la poseas, raerás la memoria de Amalec de debajo del cielo, no te olvides.
