¹Kui meeste vahel on riid ja nad astuvad kohtu ette ja neile mõistetakse kohut, õige õigeks ja süüdlane süüdi,

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.

²ja kui süüdlane on peksu väärt, siis käskigu kohtumõistja teda maha heita ja enese juuresolekul teda peksta, lugedes vastavalt tema süüle:

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].

³temale antagu nelikümmend hoopi, mitte rohkem, et su venda su silma ees ei häbistataks, kui temale antakse veel rohkem hoope kui need.

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.

⁴Ära seo kinni härja suud, kui ta pahmast tallab!

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

⁵Kui vennad elavad üheskoos, aga üks neist sureb ja tal ei ole poega, siis ei tohi surnu naine saada väljapoole võõrale mehele; ta küdi heitku tema juurde ja võtku tema enesele naiseks ning täitku mehevenna kohustust!

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.

⁶Ja esimest poega, kelle naine sünnitab, peetagu surnud venna pojaks, et ta nime ei kustutataks Iisraelist.

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.

⁷Aga kui see mees ei nõustu võtma oma venna naist, siis mingu ta vennanaine väravasse vanemate ette ja öelgu: 'Mu küdi keeldub oma venna nime säilitamisest Iisraelis, ta ei taha täita mehevenna kohustust.'

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.

⁸Siis linna vanemad kutsugu tema ja rääkigu temaga. Aga kui ta jääb kindlaks ja ütleb: 'Ma ei ole nõus teda võtma',

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;

⁹siis astugu ta vennanaine vanemate silma all tema juurde, võtku tal sandaal jalast, sülitagu temale näkku ja tunnistagu ning öelgu: 'Nõnda tehtagu mehega, kes ei taha jätkata oma venna sugu!'

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.

¹⁰Ja temale pandagu Iisraelis nimeks 'paljasjalgne pere'!

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

¹¹Kui mehed kisklevad üksteisega ja ühe naine astub ligi, et päästa oma meest selle käest, kes teda peksab, sirutab oma käe välja ja haarab kinni selle häbemest,

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,

¹²siis raiu temal käsi ära, su silm ärgu andku armu!

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

¹³Sul ärgu olgu kukrus kahesugust vaenaela, üks suurem ja teine väiksem!

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

¹⁴Sul ärgu olgu kojas kahesugust vakka, üks suurem ja teine väiksem!

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

¹⁵Sul olgu täis ja õige vaenael, täis ja õige vakk, et su päevi pikendataks maal, mille Issand, su Jumal, sulle annab!

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.

¹⁶Sest igaüks, kes teeb seda, on jäle Issandale, sinu Jumalale, igaüks, kes teeb kõverust.

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

¹⁷Tuleta meelde, mida Amalek tegi sulle teekonnal, kui sa lahkusid Egiptusest,

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

¹⁸kuidas ta tuli sulle tee peal vastu ja hävitas su järelväe, kõik väsinud su järelt, kui sa olid jõuetu ja roidunud, sest ta ei kartnud Jumalat!

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.

¹⁹Ja kui Issand, su Jumal, annab sulle rahu kõigist su vaenlasist ümberkaudu maal, mille Issand, su Jumal, annab sulle pärisosaks pärida, siis kustuta Amaleki mälestus taeva alt! Ära seda unusta!

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.
