Deuteronomy 25

1 If there is a dispute between men, they are to go to court to be judged, so that the innocent may be acquitted and the guilty condemned.

1 “如果发生纠纷，双方告上法庭，审判官要判明是非。

2 If the guilty man deserves to be beaten, the judge shall have him lie down and be flogged in his presence with the number of lashes his crime warrants.

2 如果有罪的一方被判受鞭打，审判官要命令他当场伏在地上，按罪行轻重量刑。

3 He may receive no more than forty lashes, lest your brother be beaten any more than that and be degraded in your sight.

3 最多可以鞭打他四十下。如果超过四十下，你们就是在公开羞辱自己的同胞。

4 Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.

4 “牛在踩谷时，不可笼住它的嘴。

5 When brothers dwell together and one of them dies without a son, the widow must not marry outside the family. Her husband’s brother is to take her as his wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law for her.

5 “如果兄弟们住在一起，其中一个没有儿子便死了，死者的妻子不可改嫁外人。死者的兄弟要尽兄弟的责任娶她为妻。

6 The first son she bears will carry on the name of the dead brother, so that his name will not be blotted out from Israel.

6 她生的第一个儿子要算为死者的儿子，免得死者在以色列无法留名。

7 But if the man does not want to marry his brother’s widow, she is to go to the elders at the city gate and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to preserve his brother’s name in Israel. He is not willing to perform the duty of a brother-in-law for me.”

7 如果死者的兄弟不愿娶那寡妇，她要到城门口见长老们，告诉他们，‘我丈夫的兄弟不肯尽兄弟的责任娶我，不肯为我丈夫在以色列留名。’

8 Then the elders of his city shall summon him and speak with him. If he persists and says, “I do not want to marry her,”

8 本城的长老们要把死者的兄弟召来，与他商谈。如果他执意不肯，

9 his brother’s widow shall go up to him in the presence of the elders, remove his sandal, spit in his face, and declare, “This is what is done to the man who will not maintain his brother’s line.”

9 那寡妇要当着众长老的面，上前脱下他的鞋，吐唾沫在他脸上，说，‘这就是不肯为兄弟留后之人的下场。’

10 And his family name in Israel will be called “The House of the Unsandaled.”

10 从此以后，他的家在以色列要被称为‘被脱鞋者之家’。

11 If two men are fighting, and the wife of one comes to rescue her husband from the one striking him, and she reaches out her hand and grabs his genitals,

11 “如果两个男人打架，其中一人的妻子为帮助丈夫而伸手抓住另外一人的下体，

12 you are to cut off her hand. You must show her no pity.

12 就要砍掉她的手，不可怜悯她。

13 You shall not have two differing weights in your bag, one heavy and one light.

13 “你们做买卖时，口袋里不可有一大一小两种砝码，

14 You shall not have two differing measures in your house, one large and one small.

14 家里也不可用一大一小两种量器。

15 You must maintain accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

15 你们必须使用准确公正的砝码和量器，以便在你们的上帝耶和华要赐给你们的土地上得享长寿。

16 For everyone who behaves dishonestly in regard to these things is detestable to the LORD your God.

16 因为你们的上帝耶和华憎恶行事诡诈的人。

17 Remember what the Amalekites did to you along your way from Egypt,

17 “你们要记住，你们从埃及出来的路上，亚玛力人是怎样对待你们的。

18 how they met you on your journey when you were tired and weary, and they attacked all your stragglers; they had no fear of God.

18 他们趁你们疲惫不堪时，袭击你们当中掉队的人，毫不敬畏上帝。

19 When the LORD your God gives you rest from the enemies around you in the land that He is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you are to blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget!

19 所以，当你们的上帝耶和华赐给你们那片土地作产业、使你们四境安宁时，要灭绝亚玛力人，抹去世人对他们的记忆。你们要切记！
