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.

1 "如果人与人之间有争讼的事， 就上法庭去； 审判官审判他们的时候， 要定义人有理， 定恶人有罪；

2 如果有罪的人应受责打， 审判官就要叫他伏下， 当面按着他的罪， 照着数目责打他。

3 只可打他四十下， 不可再多； 恐怕你多打了他， 过了这数目， 你的兄弟就在你眼前受辱了。

4 "牛在踹谷的时候， 不可笼住它的嘴。

5 "兄弟住在一起， 他们中间如果有一个死了， 没有留下儿子， 死者的妻子就不可出嫁外人； 她丈夫的兄弟要向她尽兄弟的本分， 娶她为妻， 和她同房。

6 她所生的长子要归亡兄的名下， 免得他的名字从以色列中被涂抹了。

7 那人如果不喜欢娶他兄弟的妻子， 他兄弟的妻子就要到城门去见长老， 说： ‘我丈夫的兄弟不肯在以色列中为自己的哥哥立名， 不肯对我尽兄弟的本分。’

8 本城的长老就要把那人叫来， 对他说明； 如果他坚持说： ‘我不乐意娶她’，

9 他哥哥的妻子就要当着长老的面前， 走到那人跟前， 脱去他脚上的鞋子， 吐唾沫在他的脸上， 说： ‘那不为自己哥哥建立家室的， 人人都要这样对待他。’

10 从此， 在以色列中他的名字必称为‘脱鞋者之家’。

11 "有两个人在一起打斗， 如果其中一人的妻子走前来， 要救她的丈夫脱离那打她丈夫的人的手， 就伸手抓住那人的下体，

12 你就要砍掉那妇人的手； 你的眼不可顾惜。

13 "你袋里不可有两样不同的法码， 一大一小；

14 你家里不可有两样不同的升斗， 一大一小。

15 你要有准确公正的法码， 你要有准确公正的升斗， 好使你在耶和华你的 神赐给你的地上， 得享长寿。

16 因为所有行这些事的， 就是行不义的事的， 都是耶和华你的 神厌恶的。

17 "你要记住你们出了埃及以后， 亚玛力人在路上怎样对待你；

18 怎样在路上遇见了你， 趁你疲倦困乏的时候， 攻击你后方所有软弱无力的人， 并不敬畏 神。

19 所以耶和华你的 神使你脱离四围所有的仇敌， 在耶和华你的 神赐给你作产业的地上， 得享太平的时候， 你务要把亚玛力这名号从天下涂抹， 不可忘记。"
