Deuteronomio 25
1 Cuando hubiere pleito entre algunos, y vinieren a juicio, y los juzgaren, y absolvieren al justo y condenaren al inicuo,
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 será que, si el impío mereciere ser azotado, entonces el juez lo hará echar en tierra, y le hará azotar delante de sí, según su impiedad, por cuenta.
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 Cuarenta veces lo hará herir, no más; no sea que, si lo hiriere con muchos azotes a más de éstos, se envilezca tu hermano delante de tus ojos.
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 No pondrás bozal al buey cuando trillare.
You must not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
5 Cuando 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.
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 Y será que el primogénito que ella diere a luz, se levantará en nombre de su hermano el muerto, para que el nombre de éste no sea raído de 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 Y si el hombre no quisiere tomar a su cuñada, irá entonces la cuñada suya a la puerta a los ancianos, y dirá: Mi cuñado no quiere suscitar nombre en Israel a su hermano; no quiere emparentar conmigo.
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 Entonces los ancianos de aquella ciudad lo harán venir, y hablarán con él; y si él se levantare, y dijere: No quiero tomarla,
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 se acercará entonces su cuñada a él delante de los ancianos, y le descalzará el zapato de su pie, y le escupirá en el rostro, y hablará y dirá: Así será hecho al varón que no edificare la casa de su hermano.
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 Y su nombre será llamado en Israel: La casa del descalzado.
His name will be called in Israel, 'The house of him whose sandal has been taken off.'
11 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;
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 le cortarás entonces la mano, no la perdonará tu ojo.
then you must cut off her hand; your eye must have no pity.
13 No tendrás en tu bolsa pesa grande y pesa chica.
You must not have in your bag different weights, a large and a small.
14 No tendrás en tu casa efa grande y efa pequeño.
You must not have in your house different measures, a large and a small.
15 Pesas cumplidas y justas tendrás; efa cabal y justo tendrás; para que tus días sean prolongados sobre la tierra que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da.
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 Porque abominación es al SEÑOR tu Dios cualquiera que hace esto, cualquiera que hace tuerto.
For all who do such things, all that act unrighteously, are an abomination to Yahweh your God.
17 Acuérdate de lo que te hizo Amalec en el camino, cuando salisteis de Egipto;
Call to mind what Amalek did to you on the road as you came out of Egypt,
18 que te salió al camino, y te desbarató la retaguardia de todos los flacos que iban detrás de ti, cuando tú estabas cansado y trabajado; y no temió a Dios.
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 Será, pues, cuando el SEÑOR tu Dios te hubiere dado reposo de tus enemigos alrededor, en la tierra que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da por heredar para que la poseas, que raerás la memoria de Amalec de debajo del cielo; no te olvides.
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.
