¹If there be a controversy between men, and they resort to judgment, and they judge [their case]; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.

¹Keby povstal spor medzi niektorými ľuďmi, prijdú k súdu, a budú ich súdiť a vyhlásia toho, kto je spravedlivý, za spravedlivého, a vinného vyhlásia za vinného.

²And it shall be if the wicked man have deserved to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and be beaten before his face, according to the measure of his wickedness with a certain number [of stripes].

²A keby vinník zaslúžil bitku, vtedy rozkáže sudca ho položiť a dá ho biť pred sebou, podľa veľkosti jeho viny, istým počtom úderov.

³With forty [stripes] shall they beat him; they shall not exceed, lest, if they continue to beat him with many stripes above these, thy brother become despicable in thine eyes.

³Štyridsať ráz ho dá uderiť; nepridá, aby snáď, keby ho dal biť nad to, primnohými údermi, nebol potupený tvoj brat pred tvojimi očima.

⁴Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out [the corn].

⁴Nezaviažeš volu úst, keď mláti.

⁵If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not marry a stranger abroad: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him as wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her.

⁵Keby bývali bratia spolu, a jeden z nich by zomrel, a nemal by syna, žena toho mŕtveho sa nevydá von za cudzieho; jej švagor vojde k nej a vezme si ju za ženu švagrovským právom.

⁶And it shall be, that the firstborn that she beareth shall stand in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name be not blotted out from Israel.

⁶A bude, že prvorodený, ktorého porodí, bude stáť na mene jeho brata, toho zomrelého, aby nebolo vytreté jeho meno z Izraela.

⁷But if the man like not to take his brother's wife, his brother's wife shall 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 for me the duty of a husband's brother.

⁷Ale keby nechcel človek vziať si svoju švagrinú-vdovu za ženu, vtedy odíde jeho švagriná hore ku bráne ku starším a povie: Brat môjho zomrelého muža nechce vzbudiť svojmu bratovi meno v Izraelovi, nechce si ma vziať za ženu podľa švagrovského práva.

⁸Then 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;

⁸Vtedy ho zavolajú starší jeho mesta a budú s ním hovoriť. A keby stojac povedal: Nechcem si ju vziať,

⁹then shall his brother's wife come near to him before the eyes of the elders, and draw his sandal from his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto the man that will not build up his brother's house.

⁹pristúpi k nemu jeho švagriná-vdova pred očami starších, sozuje jeho obuv s jeho nohy a napľuje mu do tvári, odpovie a riekne: Tak sa urobí mužovi, ktorý nebuduje domu svojho brata.

¹⁰And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe drawn off.

¹⁰A bude sa volať v Izraelovi: Dom vyzutého z obuvi.

¹¹When men fight together one with another, and the wife of the one come near to rescue her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and stretch out her hand, and seize him by his secret parts,

¹¹Keby sa vadili mužovia spolu, druh s druhom, a keby pristúpila žena toho jedného, aby vytrhla svojho muža z ruky toho, ktorý by ho bil, a vystrela by svoju ruku a pochytila ho za jeho úd hanby,

¹²thou shalt cut off her hand; thine eye shall not spare.

¹²vtedy utneš jej ruku; nezľutuje sa tvoje oko.

¹³Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.

¹³Nebudeš mať vo svojom miešku rôzneho závažia, väčšieho a menšieho.

¹⁴Thou shalt not have in thy house divers ephahs, a great and a small.

¹⁴Nebudeš mať vo svojom dome rôznej efy, väčšej a menšej.

¹⁵A perfect and just weight shalt thou have; a perfect and just ephah shalt thou have; that thy days may be prolonged in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee.

¹⁵Závažie budeš mať úplné a spravedlivé, aj efu budeš mať úplnú a spravedlivú, aby sa predĺžily tvoje dni na zemi, ktorú ti dá Hospodin, tvoj Bôh.

¹⁶For every one that doeth such things, every one that doeth unrighteousness, is an abomination to Jehovah thy God.

¹⁶Lebo ohavnosťou Hospodina, tvojho Boha, je každý, kto to robí, každý, kto robí neprávosť.

¹⁷Remember what Amalek did unto thee on the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt;

¹⁷Pamätať budeš na to, čo ti urobil Amalech na ceste, keď ste išli z Egypta,

¹⁸how he met thee on the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all the feeble that lagged behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary, and he feared not God.

¹⁸že vyšiel proti tebe na ceste a pobil všetkých zadných v tvojom tábore utrmácaných, idúcich za tebou, kým si ty bol ustatý a zomdlený, a nebál sa Boha.

¹⁹And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God shall have given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens; thou shalt not forget it.

¹⁹A preto bude, keď ti dá Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, odpočinutie od všetkých tvojich nepriateľov dookola v zemi, ktorú ti dá Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, do dedičstva, aby si ju zaujal dedične, vyhladíš pamiatku Amalecha zpod nebies. Nezabudneš!
