Deuteronômio 25
Almeida Revista e Corrigida 2009
A pena de açoites
25 Quando houver contenda entre alguns, e vierem a juízo para que os juízes os julguem, ao justo justificarão e ao injusto condenarão. 2 E será que, se o injusto merecer açoites, o juiz o fará deitar e o fará açoitar diante de si, quanto bastar pela sua injustiça, por certa conta. 3 Quarenta açoites lhe fará dar, não mais; para que, porventura, se lhe fizer dar mais açoites do que estes, teu irmão não fique envilecido aos teus olhos. 4 Não atarás a boca ao boi, quando trilhar.
A obrigação de um homem casar com a viúva do seu irmão
5 Quando alguns irmãos morarem juntos, e algum deles morrer e não tiver filho, então, a mulher do defunto não se casará com homem estranho de fora; seu cunhado entrará a ela, e a tomará por mulher, e fará a obrigação de cunhado para com ela. 6 E será que o primogênito que ela der à luz estará em nome de seu irmão defunto, para que o seu nome se não apague em Israel.
7 Porém, se o tal homem não quiser tomar sua cunhada, subirá, então, sua cunhada à porta dos anciãos e dirá: Meu cunhado recusa suscitar a seu irmão nome em Israel; não quer fazer para comigo o dever de cunhado. 8 Então, os anciãos da sua cidade o chamarão e com ele falarão; e, se ele ficar nisto e disser: Não quero tomá-la; 9 então, sua cunhada se chegará a ele aos olhos dos anciãos, e lhe descalçará o sapato do pé, e lhe cuspirá no rosto, e protestará, e dirá: Assim se fará ao homem que não edificar a casa de seu irmão; 10 e o seu nome se chamará em Israel: A casa do descalçado.
11 Quando pelejarem dois homens, um contra o outro, e a mulher de um chegar para livrar seu marido da mão do que o fere, e ela estender a sua mão, e lhe pegar pelas suas vergonhas, 12 então, cortar-lhe-ás a mão; não a poupará teu olho.
Pesos e medidas justos
13 Na tua bolsa não terás diversos pesos, um grande e um pequeno. 14 Na tua casa não terás duas sortes de efa, um grande e um pequeno. 15 Peso inteiro e justo terás, efa inteiro e justo terás, para que se prolonguem os teus dias na terra que te dará o Senhor, teu Deus. 16 Porque abominação é ao Senhor, teu Deus, todo aquele que faz isso, todo aquele que faz injustiça.
Amaleque será destruído
17 Lembra-te do que te fez Amaleque no caminho, quando saíeis do Egito; 18 como te saiu ao encontro no caminho e te derribou na retaguarda todos os fracos que iam após ti, estando tu cansado e afadigado; e não temeu a Deus. 19 Será, pois, que, quando o Senhor, teu Deus, te tiver dado repouso de todos os teus inimigos em redor, na terra que o Senhor, teu Deus, te dará por herança, para possuí-la, então, apagarás a memória de Amaleque de debaixo do céu; não te esqueças.
Deuteronomy 25
New King James Version
Laws of Social Responsibility
25 “If there is a (A)dispute between men, and they come to [a]court, that the judges may judge them, and they (B)justify the righteous and condemn the wicked, 2 then it shall be, if the wicked man (C)deserves to be beaten, that the judge will cause him to lie down (D)and be beaten in his presence, according to his guilt, with a certain number of blows. 3 (E)Forty blows he may give him and no more, lest he should exceed this and beat him with many blows above these, and your brother (F)be humiliated in your sight.
4 (G)“You shall not muzzle an ox while it [b]treads out the grain.
Marriage Duty of the Surviving Brother
5 (H)“If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the widow of the dead man shall not be married to a stranger outside the family; her husband’s brother shall go in to her, take her as his wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her. 6 And it shall be that the firstborn son which she bears (I)will succeed to the name of his dead brother, that (J)his name may not be blotted out of Israel. 7 But if the man does not want to take his brother’s wife, then let his brother’s wife go up to the (K)gate to the elders, and say, ‘My husband’s brother refuses to raise up a name to his brother in Israel; he will not perform the duty of my husband’s brother.’ 8 Then the elders of his city shall call him and speak to him. But if he stands firm and says, (L)‘I do not want to take her,’ 9 then his brother’s wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, (M)remove his sandal from his foot, spit in his face, and answer and say, ‘So shall it be done to the man who will not (N)build up his brother’s house.’ 10 And his name shall be called in Israel, ‘The house of him who had his sandal removed.’
Miscellaneous Laws
11 “If two men fight together, and the wife of one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of the one attacking him, and puts out her hand and seizes him by the genitals, 12 then you shall cut off her hand; (O)your eye shall not pity her.
13 (P)“You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a heavy and a light. 14 You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small. 15 You shall have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure, (Q)that your days may be lengthened in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. 16 For (R)all who do such things, all who behave unrighteously, are [c]an abomination to the Lord your God.
Destroy the Amalekites
17 (S)“Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you were coming out of Egypt, 18 how he met you on the way and attacked your rear ranks, all the stragglers at your rear, when you were tired and weary; and he (T)did not fear God. 19 Therefore it shall be, (U)when the Lord your God has given you rest from your enemies all around, in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance, that you will (V)blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. You shall not forget.

English Standard Version
25 “If there is a (A)dispute between men and they come into court and the judges decide between them, (B)acquitting the innocent and condemning the guilty, 2 then if the guilty man deserves to be beaten, the judge shall cause him to lie down and be beaten in his presence with a number of stripes in proportion to his offense. 3 (C)Forty stripes may be given him, but not more, lest, if one should go on to beat him with more stripes than these, your brother be degraded in your sight.

Laws Concerning Levirate Marriage
5 (E)“If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the dead man shall not be married outside the family to a stranger. Her (F)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 And the first son whom she bears shall succeed to the name of his dead brother, that (G)his name may not be blotted out of Israel. 7 And if the man does not wish to take his brother's wife, then his brother's wife shall (H)go up to the gate to the elders and say, ‘My husband's brother refuses to perpetuate his brother's 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, and if he persists, saying, (I)‘I do not wish to take her,’ 9 then his brother's wife shall go up to him in the presence of the elders and (J)pull his sandal off his foot and (K)spit in his face. And she shall answer and say, ‘So shall it be done to the man who does not (L)build up his brother's house.’ 10 And the name of his house[a] shall be called in Israel, ‘The house of him who had his sandal pulled off.’
Miscellaneous Laws
11 “When men fight with one another and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of him who is beating him and puts out her hand and seizes him by the private parts, 12 then you shall cut off her hand. (M)Your eye shall have no pity.
13 “You (N)shall not have in your bag two kinds of weights, a large and a small. 14 You shall not have in your house two kinds of measures, a large and a small. 15 A full and fair[b] weight you shall have, a full and fair measure you shall have, (O)that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. 16 For (P)all who do such things, all who act dishonestly, (Q)are an abomination to the Lord your God.
17 (R)“Remember what Amalek did to you (S)on the way as you came out of Egypt, 18 how he attacked you on the way when you were faint and weary, and (T)cut off your tail, those who were lagging behind you, and he did not fear God. 19 Therefore (U)when the Lord your God has given you rest from all your enemies around you, in the land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance to possess, you shall (V)blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven; you shall not forget.
