신명기 25

1사람과 사람 사이에 시비가 생겨서 재판을 청하거든 재판장은 그들을 재판하여 의인은 의롭다 하고 악인은 정죄할 것이며 2악인에게 태형이 합당하거든 재판장은 그를 엎드리게 하고 그 죄의 경중대로 여수이 자기 앞에서 때리게 하라 3사십까지는 때리려니와 그것을 넘기지는 못할지니 만일 그것을 넘겨 과다히 때리면 네가 네 형제로 천히 여김을 받게 할까 하노라 4곡식 떠는 소의 입에 망을 씌우지 말지니라 5형제가 동거하는데 그 중 하나가 죽고 아들이 없거든 그 죽은 자의 아내는 나가서 타인에게 시집가지 말 것이요 그 남편의 형제가 그에게로 들어가서 그를 취하여 아내를 삼아 그의 남편의 형제 된 의무를 그에게 다 행할 것이요 6그 여인의 낳은 첫 아들로 그 죽은 형제의 후사를 잇게 하여 그 이름을 이스라엘 중에서 끊어지지 않게 할 것이니라 7그러나 그 사람이 만일 그 형제의 아내 취하기를 즐겨하지 아니하거든 그 형제의 아내는 그 성문 장로들에게로 나아가서 말하기를 내 남편의 형제가 그 형제의 이름을 이스라엘 중에 잇기를 싫어하여 남편의 형제된 의무를 내게 행치 아니하나이다 할 것이요 8그 성읍 장로들은 그를 불러다가 이를 것이며 그가 이미 정한 뜻대로 말하기를 내가 그 여자 취하기를 즐겨 아니하노라 하거든 9그 형제의 아내가 장로들 앞에서 그에게 나아가서 그의 발에서 신을 벗기고 그 얼굴에 침을 뱉으며 이르기를 그 형제의 집 세우기를 즐겨 아니하는 자에게는 이같이 할 것이라 할 것이며 10이스라엘 중에서 그의 이름을 신 벗기운 자의 집이라 칭할 것이니라 11두 사람이 서로 싸울 때에 한 사람의 아내가 그 남편을 그 치는 자의 손에서 구하려 하여 가까이 가서 손을 벌려 그 사람의 음낭을 잡거든 12너는 그 여인의 손을 찍어 버릴 것이고 네 눈이 그를 불쌍히 보지 말지니라 13너는 주머니에 같지 않은 저울추 곧 큰 것과 작은 것을 넣지 말 것이며 14네 집에 같지 않은 되 곧 큰 것과 작은 것을 두지 말 것이요 15오직 십분 공정한 저울추를 두며 십분 공정한 되를 둘 것이라 그리하면 네 하나님 여호와께서 네게 주시는 땅에서 네 날이 장구하리라 16무릇 이같이 하는 자, 무릇 부정당히 행하는 자는 네 하나님 여호와께 가증하니라 17너희가 애굽에서 나오는 길에 아말렉이 네게 행한 일을 기억하라 18곧 그들이 하나님을 두려워하지 아니하고 너를 길에서 만나 너의 피곤함을 타서 네 뒤에 떨어진 약한 자들을 쳤느니라 19그러므로 네 하나님 여호와께서 네게 주어 기업으로 얻게 하시는 땅에서 네 하나님 여호와께서 너로 사면에 있는 모든 대적을 벗어나게 하시고 네게 안식을 주실 때에 너는 아말렉의 이름을 천하에서 도말할지니라 너는 잊지 말지니라

1If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgment, and the judges judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked. 2It shall be, if the wicked man is worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his wickedness, by number. 3He may sentence him to no more than forty stripes. He shall not give more; lest, if he should give more, and beat him more than that many stripes, then your brother will be degraded in your sight. 4You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain. 5If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies, and has no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger. Her husband’s brother shall go in to her, and take her as his wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her. 6It shall be that the firstborn whom she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name not be blotted out of Israel. 7If the man doesn’t want to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate to the elders, and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to raise up to his brother a name in Israel. He will not perform the duty of a husband’s brother to me.” 8Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him: and if he stands and says, “I don’t want to take her”; 9then his brother’s wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face. She shall answer and say, “So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother’s house.” 10His name shall be called in Israel, “The house of him who had his shoe removed.” 11When men strive against each other, and the wife of one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him who strikes him, and puts out her hand, and takes him by his private parts, 12then you shall cut off her hand. Your eye shall have no pity. 13You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, one heavy and one light. 14You shall not have in your house diverse measures, one large and one small. 15You shall have a perfect and just weight. You shall have a perfect and just measure, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you. 16For all who do such things, all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to Yahweh your God. 17Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came out of Egypt; 18how he met you by the way, and struck the rearmost of you, all who were feeble behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he didn’t fear God. 19Therefore it shall be, when Yahweh your God has given you rest from all your enemies all around, in the land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky. You shall not forget.

1Wanneer er tussen lieden twist zal zijn, en zij tot het gerecht zullen toetreden, dat zij hen richten, zo zullen zij den rechtvaardige rechtvaardig spreken, en den onrechtvaardige verdoemen. 2En het zal geschieden, indien de onrechtvaardige slagen verdiend heeft, dat de rechter hem zal doen nedervallen, en hem doen slaan in zijn tegenwoordigheid, naar dat het voor zijn onrechtvaardigheid genoeg zal zijn, in getal. 3Met veertig slagen zal hij hem doen slaan, hij zal er niet toedoen; opdat niet misschien, zo hij voortvoere hem daarboven met meer slagen te doen slaan, uw broeder dan voor uw ogen verachtelijk gehouden worde. 4Een os zult gij niet muilbanden, als hij dorst. 5Wanneer broeders samenwonen, en een van hen sterft, en geen zoon heeft, zo zal de vrouw des verstorvenen aan geen vreemden man daarbuiten geworden; haar mans broeder zal tot haar ingaan en nemen haar zich ter vrouw, en doen haar den plicht van eens mans broeder. 6En het zal geschieden, dat de eerstgeborene, dien zij zal baren, zal staan in den naam zijns broeders, des verstorvenen; opdat zijn naam niet uitgedelgd worde uit Israel. 7Maar indien dezen man zijns broeders vrouw niet bevallen zal te nemen, zo zal zijn broeders vrouw opgaan naar de poort tot de oudsten, en zeggen: Mijns mans broeder weigert zijn broeder een naam te verwekken in Israel; hij wil mij den plicht van eens mans broeders niet doen. 8Dan zullen hem de oudsten zijner stad roepen, en tot hem spreken; blijft hij dan daarbij staan, en zegt: Het bevalt mij niet haar te nemen; 9Zo zal zijns broeders vrouw voor de ogen der oudsten tot hem toetreden, en zijn schoen van zijn voet uittrekken, en spuwen in zijn aangezicht, en zal betuigen en zeggen: Alzo zal dien man gedaan worden, die zijns broeders huis niet zal bouwen. 10En zijn naam zal in Israel genoemd worden: Het huis desgenen, dien de schoen uitgetogen is. 11Wanneer mannen, de een met den ander, twisten, en de vrouw des enen toetreedt, om haar man uit de hand desgenen, die hem slaat, te redden, en haar hand uitstrekt, en zijn schamelheid aangrijpt; 12Zo zult gij haar hand afhouwen, uw oog zal niet verschonen. 13Gij zult geen tweeerlei weegstenen in uw zak hebben; een groten en een kleinen. 14Gij zult in uw huis geen tweeerlei efa hebben, een grote en een kleine. 15Gij zult een volkomen en gerechten weegsteen hebben; gij zult een volkomene en gerechte efa hebben; opdat uw dagen verlengd worden in het land, dat u de HEERE, uw God, geven zal. 16Want al wie zulks doet, is den HEERE, uw God, een gruwel; ja, al wie onrecht doet. 17Gedenkt, wat u Amalek gedaan heeft op den weg, als gij uit Egypte uittoogt; 18Hoe hij u op den weg ontmoette, en sloeg onder u in den staart al de zwakken achter u, als gij moede en mat waart; en hij vreesde God niet. 19Het zal dan geschieden, als u de HEERE, uw God, rust zal gegeven hebben, van al uw vijanden rondom, in het land, dat u de HEERE, uw God, ten erve geven zal, om hetzelve erfelijk te bezitten, dat gij de gedachtenis van Amalek van onder den hemel zult uitdelgen; vergeet het niet!
