Deuteronomy 25
1 “If [two] Israelis have a dispute and they go to a court, the judge will [probably] decide/declare that one of them (is innocent/did not do any wrong) and the other one is guilty.
QUANDO vi sarà lite fra alcuni, ed essi verranno in giudicio, giudichinli [i Giudici], e giustifichino il giusto, e condannino il reo.
2 If the judge says that the guilty person must be punished, he shall command him to lie [with his face] on the ground and be whipped. The number of times he is struck with a whip will depend on [what kind of] crime he committed.
E se il reo ha meritato d'esser battuto, faccialo il giudice gittare in terra, e battere in sua presenza, secondo il merito del suo misfatto, a [certo] numero [di battiture].
3 It is permitted that he be struck as many as 40 times, but no more than that. If he is struck more than 40 times, he would be humiliated publicly.
Facciagli dare quaranta battiture, e non più; che talora, se continuasse a fargli dare una gran battitura oltre a questo numero, il tuo fratello non fosse avvilito nel tuo cospetto.
4 When your ox is treading/walking on the grain [to separate the chaff from the grain], do not (muzzle it/put a covering on its mouth) [to prevent it from eating some of the grain].
Non metter la museruola in bocca al bue, mentre trebbia.
5 If two brothers live on the same property, and one of them who has no son dies, the man’s widow should not marry someone who is not a member of his family. The dead man’s brother must marry her and have sex [EUP] with her. It is his duty to do that.
QUANDO alcuni fratelli dimoreranno insieme, e un d'essi morrà senza figliuoli, non maritisi la moglie del morto fuori ad un uomo strano; il suo cognato venga da lei, e prendasela per moglie, e sposila per ragion di cognato.
6 If she later gives birth to a son, that son is to be considered [MTY] the son of the man who died, in order that the dead man’s name will not disappear from Israel.
E il primogenito ch'ella partorirà, nasca a nome del fratello morto del marito; acciocchè il suo nome non sia spento in Israele.
7 “But if the dead man’s brother does not want to marry that woman, she must stand at the (gate/central meeting place) of the town and say to the [town] elders, ‘My husband’s brother will not do (his duty/what he is supposed to do). He refuses to [marry me in order that I may give birth to a son who will] prevent my dead husband’s name from disappearing in Israel.’
E se non aggrada a quell'uomo di prender la sua cognata, vada la sua cognata alla porta, agli Anziani, e dica: Il mio cognato ricusa di suscitar nome al suo fratello in Israele; egli non vuole sposarmi per ragion di cognato.
8 Then the elders must summon that man and talk to him. If he still refuses to marry that widow,
Allora gli Anziani della sua città lo chiamino, e parlino a lui; e s'egli, presentatosi, dice: E' non mi aggrada di prenderla;
9 she must go up to him while the elders are watching, and take off one of his sandals [to symbolize/show that he would not receive any of her property], and spit in his face, and say to him, ‘This is what happens to the man who refuses to do what is needed [to allow his dead brother to have a son] in order that our family name does not disappear.’
accostiglisi la sua cognata, nel cospetto degli Anziani, e traggagli del piè il suo calzamento, e sputigli nel viso. Poi protesti, e dica: Così sarà fatto all'uomo che non edificherà la casa del suo fratello.
10 After that happens, that man’s family will be known as ‘the family of the man whose sandal was pulled off’.
E gli sarà posto nome in Israele: La casa dello scalzato.
11 When [two] men are fighting with each other, and the one man’s wife comes near to help her husband by grabbing hold of the other man’s genitals,
Quando alcuni contenderanno insieme l'un contro all'altro, e la moglie dell'uno si accosterà per liberare il suo marito dalla man di colui che lo percuote, e stenderà la mano, e lo prenderà per le sue vergogne, mozzale la mano;
12 do not act mercifully toward her; cut off her hand.
l'occhio tuo non [le] perdoni.
13 “[When you are buying or selling things], do not try to cheat people by having two kinds of weights, [one which you use when you buy something and one which you use when you sell something], and two kinds of measuring baskets, [one which you use when you buy something and one which you use when you sell something].
NON aver nel tuo sacchetto peso e peso; grande e piccolo.
Non avere in casa efa ed efa; grande e piccolo.
15 Always use correct weights and correct measuring baskets, in order that Yahweh our God will allow you to live a long time in the land that he is giving to you.
Abbi peso intiero e giusto; e parimente efa intiero e giusto; acciocchè i tuoi giorni sieno prolungati sopra la terra che il Signore Iddio tuo ti dà.
16 Yahweh hates all those who act dishonestly, [and he will punish them].
Perciocchè chiunque fa cotali cose, chiunque fa iniquità, [è in] abbominio al Signore Iddio tuo.
17 Continue to remember what the Amalek people-group did to your ancestors when they were coming out of Egypt.
RICORDATI di ciò che ti fece Amalec nel cammino, dopo che voi foste usciti di Egitto;
18 They attacked your ancestors as your ancestors were traveling, when they were weak and exhausted. Those people were not afraid of God at all, so they attacked your ancestors from the rear and killed all those who were unable to walk as fast as the others.
come egli ti venne ad incontrare nel cammino, e alla coda percosse tutte le persone deboli [che] venivano dietro a te, essendo tu stanco e affaticato; e non temette Iddio.
19 Therefore, when Yahweh our God has given you the land [that he promised to give you], and when he has enabled you to rest from [fighting] all your enemies around you, kill all the Amalek people-group, with the result that no one will remember them any more. Do not forget [to do this]!”
Perciò, quando il Signore Iddio tuo ti avrà data requie da tutti i tuoi nemici d'ogn'intorno, nel paese che il Signore Iddio tuo ti dà [in] eredità per possederlo; spegni la memoria di Amalec disotto al cielo; non dimenticarlo.
