Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Berean Standard Bible
1Si fuerit causa inter aliquos, et interpellaverint judices: quem justum esse perspexerint, illi justitiæ palmam dabunt: quem impium, condemnabunt impietatis.
1If there is a dispute between men, they are to go to court to be judged, so that the innocent may be acquitted and the guilty condemned.
2Sin autem eum, qui peccavit, dignum viderint plagis: prosternent, et coram se facient verberari. Pro mensura peccati erit et plagarum modus:
2If the guilty man deserves to be beaten, the judge shall have him lie down and be flogged in his presence with the number of lashes his crime warrants.
3ita dumtaxat, ut quadragenarium numerum non excedant: ne fœde laceratus ante oculos tuos abeat frater tuus.
3He may receive no more than forty lashes, lest your brother be beaten any more than that and be degraded in your sight.
4Non ligabis os bovis terentis in area fruges tuas.
4Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.
5Quando habitaverint fratres simul, et unus ex eis absque liberis mortuus fuerit, uxor defuncti non nubet alteri: sed accipiet eam frater ejus, et suscitabit semen fratris sui:
5When brothers dwell together and one of them dies without a son, the widow must not marry outside the family. Her husband’s brother is to take her as his wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law for her.
6et primogenitum ex ea filium nomine illius appellabit, ut non deleatur nomen ejus ex Israël.
6The first son she bears will carry on the name of the dead brother, so that his name will not be blotted out from Israel.
7Sin autem noluerit accipere uxorem fratris sui, quæ ei lege debetur, perget mulier ad portam civitatis, et interpellabit majores natu, dicetque: Non vult frater viri mei suscitare nomen fratris sui in Israël, nec me in conjugem sumere.
7But if the man does not want to marry his brother’s widow, she is to go to the elders at the city gate and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to preserve his brother’s name in Israel. He is not willing to perform the duty of a brother-in-law for me.”
8Statimque accersiri eum facient, et interrogabunt. Si responderit: Nolo eam uxorem accipere:
8Then the elders of his city shall summon him and speak with him. If he persists and says, “I do not want to marry her,”
9accedet mulier ad eum coram senioribus, et tollet calceamentum de pede ejus, spuetque in faciem illius, et dicet: Sic fiet homini, qui non ædificat domum fratris sui.
9his brother’s widow shall go up to him in the presence of the elders, remove his sandal, spit in his face, and declare, “This is what is done to the man who will not maintain his brother’s line.”
10Et vocabitur nomen illius in Israël, Domus discalceati.
10And his family name in Israel will be called “The House of the Unsandaled.”
11Si habuerint inter se jurgium viri duo, et unus contra alterum rixari cœperit, volensque uxor alterius eruere virum suum de manu fortioris, miseritque manum, et apprehenderit verenda ejus:
11If two men are fighting, and the wife of one steps in to rescue her husband from the one striking him, and she reaches out her hand and grabs his genitals,
12abscides manum illius, nec flecteris super eam ulla misericordia.
12you are to cut off her hand. You must show her no pity.
13Non habebis in sacculo diversa pondera, majus et minus:
13You shall not have two differing weights in your bag, one heavy and one light.
14nec erit in domo tua modius major, et minor.
14You shall not have two differing measures in your house, one large and one small.
15Pondus habebis justum et verum, et modius æqualis et verus erit tibi: ut multo vivas tempore super terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dederit tibi.
15You must maintain accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
16Abominatur enim Dominus tuus eum qui facit hæc, et aversatur omnem injustitiam.
16For everyone who behaves dishonestly in regard to these things is detestable to the LORD your God.
17Memento quæ fecerit tibi Amalec in via quando egrediebaris ex Ægypto:
17Remember what the Amalekites did to you along your way from Egypt,
18quomodo occurrerit tibi, et extremos agminis tui, qui lassi residebant, ceciderit, quando tu eras fame et labore confectus: et non timuerit Deum.
18how they met you on your journey when you were tired and weary, and they attacked all your stragglers; they had no fear of God.
19Cum ergo Dominus Deus tuus dederit tibi requiem, et subjecerit cunctas per circuitum nationes in terra, quam tibi pollicitus est: delebis nomen ejus sub cælo. Cave ne obliviscaris.
19When the LORD your God gives you rest from the enemies around you in the land that He is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you are to blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget!
