1 "Jei du kreiptųsi į teismą, teisėjai išteisins teisųjį ir pasmerks nusikaltusį.

2 Jei nusikaltėlis nubaustas plakimu, teisėjas įsakys gulti, ir jis bus nuplaktas jo akivaizdoje. Kirčių skaičius bus pagal nusikaltimą,

3 bet neviršys keturiasdešimties kirčių, kad tavo brolis nebūtų žiauriai sužalotas tavo akyse.

4 Neužrišk nasrų kuliančiam jaučiui.

5 Jei broliai gyventų kartu ir vienas jų mirtų bevaikis, mirusio žmona neištekės už svetimo, bet jos vyro brolis įeis pas ją ir ves ją, kad atliktų vyro brolio pareigą.

6 Pirmagimį jos sūnų pavadins mirusiojo brolio vardu, kad jo vardas neišnyktų iš Izraelio.

7 Jeigu jis nenorės vesti savo brolio žmonos, moteris eis prie miesto vartų ir kreipsis į vyresniuosius: ‘Mano vyro brolis nenori atstatyti savo brolio vardo Izraelyje nė manęs vesti’.

8 Tada miesto vyresnieji pasikvies jį ir kalbės su juo. Jei jis atsakys: ‘Nenoriu jos vesti’,

9 moteris vyresniųjų akyse nuaus nuo jo kojos apavą ir spjaus jam į veidą, tardama: ‘Taip atsitinka vyrui, kuris atsisako pratęsti savo brolio giminę’.

10 Jis bus vadinamas Izraelyje: ‘Nuautojo namai’.

11 Jei du vyrai susivaidiję pradėtų grumtis, ir vieno žmona, norėdama padėti savo vyrui, nutvertų kitą už lyties,

12 nukirsk jai ranką, nepasigailėk jos.

13 Nenaudok didesnių ir mažesnių svarsčių.

14 Nelaikyk savo namuose didesnio ir mažesnio saiko.

15 Naudok teisingus ir tikrus saikus bei matus, kad ilgai gyventum žemėje, kurią Viešpats, tavo Dievas, tau duoda.

16 Visi, kurie taip daro ir neteisiai elgiasi, yra pasibjaurėjimas Viešpačiui, tavo Dievui.

17 Atsimink, ką tau padarė amalekiečiai, kai išėjai iš Egipto.

18 Jie išėjo prieš tave ir tavo nuvargusius ir atsilikusius žmones išžudė, kai tu buvai pailsęs ir nuvargęs; jie nebijojo Dievo.

19 Kai Viešpats, tavo Dievas, suteiks tau poilsį nuo visų priešų žemėje, kurią tau duoda paveldėti, išnaikink Amaleko vardą nuo žemės paviršiaus; žiūrėk, neužmiršk".

1 If 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. 2 It 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. 3 He 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.

4 You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.

5 If 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. 6 It 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.

7 If 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." 8 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him. If he stands and says, "I don’t want to take her," 9 then his brother’s wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his sandal 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." 10 His name shall be called in Israel, "The house of him who had his sandal removed."

11 When 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 grabs him by his private parts, 12 then you shall cut off her hand. Your eye shall have no pity.

13 You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, one heavy and one light. 14 You shall not have in your house diverse measures, one large and one small. 15 You 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. 16 For all who do such things, all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to Yahweh your God.

17 Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came out of Egypt, 18 how 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. 19 Therefore 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.
