Ulangan 25
1 Misalkan dua orang Israel pergi ke pengadilan untuk mengadukan suatu perkara, lalu yang seorang dinyatakan tidak bersalah, dan yang lain bersalah.
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 Kalau yang bersalah dijatuhi hukuman cambuk, hakim harus menyuruh dia menelungkup. Jumlah cambukan tergantung dari kejahatan yang telah dilakukannya,
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 tetapi tidak boleh lebih dari empat puluh kali. Kalau lebih, berarti orang itu dihina di depan umum.
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 Jangan memberangus mulut sapi yang sedang menebah gandum."
You must not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
5 "Kalau orang-orang yang bersaudara tinggal bersama, lalu salah seorang dari mereka mati tanpa meninggalkan anak laki-laki, maka jandanya tak boleh kawin dengan orang lain di luar keluarga mendiang suaminya. Saudara almarhum wajib kawin dengan janda itu.
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 Anak laki-laki sulung mereka harus dianggap anak saudara yang mati itu, supaya ia mempunyai keturunan di antara bangsa Israel.
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 Kalau orang itu tidak mau kawin dengan istri mendiang saudaranya, wanita itu harus pergi menghadap para pemuka kota dan berkata, 'Ipar saya tidak mau melakukan kewajibannya memberi kepada saudaranya seorang keturunan di antara bangsa Israel.'
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 Lalu para pemuka kota harus memanggil orang itu dan bicara dengan dia. Kalau ia tetap menolak,
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 istri mendiang saudaranya harus mendekati dia di depan para pemuka kota, mencabut sandal orang itu, meludahi mukanya dan berkata, 'Begini harus diperlakukan orang yang tak mau memberi keturunan kepada saudaranya.'
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 Keluarga orang itu akan dikenal di Israel sebagai 'Keluarga orang yang dicabut sandalnya.'"
His name will be called in Israel, 'The house of him whose sandal has been taken off.'
11 "Kalau dua orang laki-laki sedang berkelahi dan istri yang seorang berusaha menolong suaminya dengan meremas kemaluan lawan suaminya,
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 potonglah tangan wanita itu dan jangan kasihani dia.
then you must cut off her hand; your eye must have no pity.
13 Jangan menipu dengan memakai timbangan dan takaran yang tidak betul.
You must not have in your bag different weights, a large and a small.
You must not have in your house different measures, a large and a small.
15 Pakailah timbangan dan takaran yang tepat supaya kamu panjang umur di negeri yang diberikan TUHAN Allahmu kepadamu.
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 TUHAN Allahmu benci kepada orang yang suka menipu."
For all who do such things, all that act unrighteously, are an abomination to Yahweh your God.
17 "Ingatlah bagaimana orang Amalek memperlakukan kamu pada waktu kamu dalam perjalanan keluar dari Mesir.
Call to mind what Amalek did to you on the road as you came out of Egypt,
18 Mereka tidak takut kepada Allah dan menyerang kamu dari belakang ketika kamu sedang kelelahan dan kehabisan tenaga, lalu membunuh semua orang-orangmu yang dengan susah payah berjalan di belakang.
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 Oleh sebab itu, kalau TUHAN Allahmu sudah memberi negeri itu kepadamu dan kamu aman dari semua musuh yang tinggal di sekelilingmu, semua orang Amalek itu harus kamu bunuh sehingga mereka tidak diingat lagi. Jangan lupa!"
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.
