5 Мојсијева 25
1 Кад је распра међу људима па дођу на суд да им суде, тада правога нека оправдају, а кривога нека осуде.
“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.
2 И ако криви заслужује бој, тада судија нека заповеди да га повале и бију пред њим, на број према кривици његовој.
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.
3 До четрдесет удараца нека заповеди да му ударе, не више, да се не би поништио брат твој у твојим очима, кад би му се ударило више удараца.
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.
4 Немој завезати уста волу кад врше.
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].
5 Кад браћа живе заједно па умре један од њих без деце, онда жена умрлога да се не уда из куће за другог; брат његов нека отиде к њој и узме је за жену и учини јој дужност деверску.
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.
6 И први син ког она роди нека се назове именом брата његовог умрлог, да не погине име његово у Израиљу.
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.
7 Ако ли онај човек не би хтео узети снахе своје, онда снаха његова нека дође на врата пред старешине, и каже: Неће девер мој да подигне брату свом семе у Израиљу, неће да ми учини дужности деверске.
“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.’
8 Тада нека га дозову старешине места оног и разговоре се с њим; па ако се он упре и каже: Нећу да је узмем;
Then the elders must summon that man and talk to him. If he still refuses to marry that widow,
9 Онда нека приступи к њему снаха његова пред старешинама, и нека му изује обућу с ноге његове и пљуне му у лице, и проговоривши нека каже: Тако ваља да буде човеку који неће да зида куће брата свог.
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.’
10 И он нека се зове у Израиљу: Дом босога.
After that happens, that man’s family will be known as ‘the family of the man whose sandal was pulled off’.
11 Ако би се свадили људи, један с другим, па би дошла жена једног да отме мужа свог из руке другог који га бије, и пруживши руку своју ухватила би га за мошнице.
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,
12 Одсеци јој руку; нека не жали око твоје.
do not act mercifully toward her; cut off her hand.
13 Немој имати у торби својој двојаку меру, велику и малу.
“[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].
14 Немој имати у кући својој двојаку ефу, велику и малу.
15 Мера потпуна и права нека ти је; ефа потпуна и права нека ти је, да би ти се продужили дани твоји у земљи коју ти даје Господ Бог твој.
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.
16 Јер је гад пред Господом Богом твојим ко год чини тако, ко год чини криво.
Yahweh hates all those who act dishonestly, [and he will punish them].
17 Опомињи се шта ти је учинио Амалик кад иђосте на путу кад иђасте из Мисира,
Continue to remember what the Amalek people-group did to your ancestors when they were coming out of Egypt.
18 Како те дочека на путу и поби на крају све уморне који иђаху за тобом, кад си био сустао и изнемогао, и не боја се Бога.
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.
19 Зато кад те Господ Бог твој смири од свих непријатеља твојих унаоколо у земљи коју ти даје Господ Бог твој да је наследиш, тада затри спомен Амалику под небом; не заборави.
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]!”
