Deuteronomy 25

«إِذَا كَانَتْ خُصُومَةٌ بَيْنَ أُنَاسٍ وَتَقَدَّمُوا إِلَى الْقَضَاءِ لِيَقْضِيَ الْقُضَاةُ بَيْنَهُمْ، فَلْيُبَرِّرُوا الْبَارَّ وَيَحْكُمُوا عَلَى الْمُذْنِبِ.

If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.

فَإِنْ كَانَ الْمُذْنِبُ مُسْتَوْجِبَ الضَّرْبِ، يَطْرَحُهُ الْقَاضِي وَيَجْلِدُونَهُ أَمَامَهُ عَلَى قَدَرِ ذَنْبِهِ بِالْعَدَدِ.

And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number.

أَرْبَعِينَ يَجْلِدُهُ. لاَ يَزِدْ، لِئَلاَّ إِذَا زَادَ فِي جَلْدِهِ عَلَى هذِهِ ضَرَبَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً، يُحْتَقَرَ أَخُوكَ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ.

Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.

لاَ تَكُمَّ الثَّوْرَ فِي دِرَاسِهِ.

Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.

«إِذَا سَكَنَ إِخْوَةٌ مَعًا وَمَاتَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ ابْنٌ، فَلاَ تَصِرِ امْرَأَةُ الْمَيْتِ إِلَى خَارِجٍ لِرَجُل أَجْنَبِيٍّ. أَخُو زَوْجِهَا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهَا وَيَتَّخِذُهَا لِنَفْسِهِ زَوْجَةً، وَيَقُومُ لَهَا بِوَاجِبِ أَخِي الزَّوْجِ.

If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.

وَالْبِكْرُ الَّذِي تَلِدُهُ يَقُومُ بِاسْمِ أَخِيهِ الْمَيْتِ، لِئَلاَّ يُمْحَى اسْمُهُ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.

«وَإِنْ لَمْ يَرْضَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ امْرَأَةَ أَخِيهِ، تَصْعَدُ امْرَأَةُ أَخِيهِ إِلَى الْبَابِ إِلَى الشُّيُوخِ وَتَقُولُ: قَدْ أَبَى أَخُو زَوْجِي أَنْ يُقِيمَ لأَخِيهِ اسْمًا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. لَمْ يَشَأْ أَنْ يَقُومَ لِي بِوَاجِبِ أَخِي الزَّوْجِ.

And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother.

فَيَدْعُوهُ شُيُوخُ مَدِينَتِهِ وَيَتَكَلَّمُونَ مَعَهُ. فَإِنْ أَصَرَّ وَقَالَ: لاَ أَرْضَى أَنْ أَتَّخِذَهَا.

Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her;

تَتَقَدَّمُ امْرَأَةُ أَخِيهِ إِلَيْهِ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِ الشُّيُوخِ، وَتَخْلَعُ نَعْلَهُ مِنْ رِجْلِهِ، وَتَبْصُقُ فِي وَجْهِهِ، وَتُصَرحُ وَتَقُولُ: هكَذَا يُفْعَلُ بِالرَّجُلِ الَّذِي لاَ يَبْنِي بَيْتَ أَخِيهِ.

Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house.

فَيُدْعَى اسْمُهُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ «بَيْتَ مَخْلُوعِ النَّعْلِ».

And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed.

«إِذَا تَخَاصَمَ رَجُلاَنِ، رَجُلٌ وَأَخُوهُ، وَتَقَدَّمَتِ امْرَأَةُ أَحَدِهِمَا لِكَيْ تُخَلِّصَ رَجُلَهَا مِنْ يَدِ ضَارِبِهِ، وَمَدَّتْ يَدَهَا وَأَمْسَكَتْ بِعَوْرَتِهِ،

When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:

فَاقْطَعْ يَدَهَا، وَلاَ تُشْفِقْ عَيْنُكَ.

Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.

«لاَ يَكُنْ لَكَ فِي كِيسِكَ أَوْزَانٌ مُخْتَلِفَةٌ كَبِيرَةٌ وَصَغِيرَةٌ.

Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.

لاَ يَكُنْ لَكَ فِي بَيْتِكَ مَكَايِيلُ مُخْتَلِفَةٌ كَبِيرَةٌ وَصَغِيرَةٌ.

Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.

وَزْنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَحَقٌّ يَكُونُ لَكَ، وَمِكْيَالٌ صَحِيحٌ وَحَقٌّ يَكُونُ لَكَ، لِكَيْ تَطُولَ أَيَّامُكَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ.

But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

لأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ عَمِلَ ذلِكَ، كُلَّ مَنْ عَمِلَ غِشًّا، مَكْرُوهٌ لَدَى الرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ.

For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.

«اُذْكُرْ مَا فَعَلَهُ بِكَ عَمَالِيقُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِكَ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt;

كَيْفَ لاَقَاكَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ وَقَطَعَ مِنْ مُؤَخَّرِكَ كُلَّ الْمُسْتَضْعِفِينَ وَرَاءَكَ، وَأَنْتَ كَلِيلٌ وَمُتْعَبٌ، وَلَمْ يَخَفِ اللهَ.

How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.

فَمَتَى أَرَاحَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِكَ حَوْلَكَ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ نَصِيبًا لِكَيْ تَمْتَلِكَهَا، تَمْحُو ذِكْرَ عَمَالِيقَ مِنْ تَحْتِ السَّمَاءِ. لاَ تَنْسَ.

Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it.
