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.

¹If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, and [the judges] judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked;

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

²and it shall be, if the wicked man be 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.

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

³Forty stripes he may give him, he shall not exceed; lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.

⁴Nezaviažeš volu úst, keď mláti.

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

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.

⁵If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her.

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

⁶And it shall be, that the first-born that she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother that is dead, that his name be not blotted out of Israel.

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.

⁷And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then 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 the duty of a husband's brother unto me.

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

⁸Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand, and say, I like not to take her;

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.

⁹then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto the man that doth not build up his brother's house.

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

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

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,

¹¹When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets;

¹²vtedy utneš jej ruku; nezľutuje sa tvoje oko.

¹²then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall have no pity.

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

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

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

¹⁴Thou shalt not have in thy house diverse measures, a great and a small.

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.

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

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

¹⁶For all that do such things, [even] all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto Jehovah thy God.

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

¹⁷Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt;

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.

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

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!

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