Второзаконие 25
1 Аще же будет пря между человеки, и приидут на суд, и да судят, и оправдят праваго, и осудят нечестиваго:
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 и будет, аще достоин есть ран нечестивый, да поставиши его пред судиями, и да биют его пред ними по нечестию его:
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 и числом четыредесять ран да наложат ему, и да не приложат к сему: аще же приложат паче ран сих бити его множае, срам будет брату твоему пред тобою.
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 Да не обротиши вола молотяща.
You must not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
5 Аше же живут братия вкупе, и умрет един от них, семене же не будет ему, да не будет жена умершаго иному мужу несродну: брат мужа ея да внидет к ней и поймет ю себе в жену, и да поживет с нею:
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 и будет очроча, еже аще родится, да поставится во имя умершаго, и не погибнет имя его от Израиля.
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 Аще же не восхощет человек пояти жены брата своего, да приидет жена ко вратом пред старейшины и речет: не хощет брат мужа моего возставити имя брата своего во Израили, не восхоте брат мужа моего:
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 и да призовут его старейшины града того и рекут ему, и став речет: не хощу пояти ю:
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 и приступивши жена брата его к нему пред старейшины, и изует сапог его един от ноги его, и да плюнет на лице его, и отвещавши речет: сице да сотворят человеку, иже не созиждет дому брата своего во Израили:
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 и прозовется имя его во Израили дом изутаго из сапога.
His name will be called in Israel, 'The house of him whose sandal has been taken off.'
11 Аще же биются человека два вкупе, человек с братом своим, и приступит жена единаго от них отяти мужа своего от руки биющаго и, и простерши руку свою, имет за ятра его,
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 да отсечеши руку ея: да не пощадит око твое ея.
then you must cut off her hand; your eye must have no pity.
13 Да не будет во влагалищи твоем мерило и мерило, великое и малое,
You must not have in your bag different weights, a large and a small.
14 да не будет в дому твоем мера и мера, велика и мала:
You must not have in your house different measures, a large and a small.
15 мерило истинно и праведно да будет тебе, и мера истинна и праведна да будет тебе, да многи дни будеши на земли, юже Господь Бог твой дает тебе в жребий,
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 яко мерзость Господеви Богу твоему всяк творяй сия, всяк творяй неправду.
For all who do such things, all that act unrighteously, are an abomination to Yahweh your God.
17 Помяни, елика тебе сотвори Амалик на пути, исходящу тебе из Египта:
Call to mind what Amalek did to you on the road as you came out of Egypt,
18 како сопротивоста тебе на пути и посече задний полк твой утружден за тобою: ты же алчен был еси и утружден: и не убояся Бога:
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 и будет егда упокоит тя Господь Бог твой от всех враг твоих, иже окрест тебе на земли, юже Господь Бог твой дает тебе в жребий, еже наследити ю, да погубиши имя Амаликово от земли, яже под небесем, и да не забудеши.
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.
