Deuteronomy 25

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Peshitta
1 "When men have a dispute and bring it to court, and a decision is handed down to them acquitting the innocent party and condemning the guilty party,	1 ܘܐܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ̣ܐ ܒܝܬ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܚܒܪܗ. ܢܩܪܒܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܕܝ̈ܢ̇ܐ ܘܢܕܘܢܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ. ܘܢܙܟܘܢ ܠܙ̇ܟܝܐ ܘܢܚܝܒܘܢ ܠܚܝ̇ܒܐ.
2 if the latter deserves stripes, the judge shall have him lie down and in his presence receive the number of stripes his guilt deserves.	2 ܘܐܢ ܚܝܒ ܡܪܕܘܬܐ ܚܝ̇ܒܐ. ܢܪܡܝܘܗܝ ܕܝ̇ܢܐ ܘܢܢܓܕܘܢܗ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ. ܐܝܟ ܙܕܩܐ ܕܣܟܠܘܬܗ.
3 Forty stripes may be given him, but no more; lest, if he were beaten with more stripes than these, your kinsman should be looked upon as disgraced because of the severity of the beating.	3 ܒܡܢܝܢܐ ܐܪ̈ܒܥܝܢ ܢܢܓܕܘܢܗ ܘܠܐ ܢܘܣܦܘܢ. ܕܠܐ ܟܕ ܢܘܣܦܘܢ ܢܢܓܕܘܢܗ. ܝܬܝܪ ܥܠ ܗܢܐ ܢܓܕܐ ܢܬܩܠܐ ܐܚܘܟ ܠܥܢܝ̈ܟ.
4 "You shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out grain.	4 ܠܐ ܬܒܠܘܡ ܬܘܪܐ ܒܕܪܟܬܐ.
5 "When brothers live together and one of them dies without a son, the widow of the deceased shall not marry anyone outside the family; but her husband's brother shall go to her and perform the duty of a brother-in-law by marrying her.	5 ܘܟܕ ܢܬܒܘܢ ܐܚ̈ܐ ܐܝܟ ܚܕܐ. ܘܢܡܘܬ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܘܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܒܪܐ. ܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܕܡܝܬܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ. ܐܠܐ ܝܒܡܗ̇ ܢܣܒܝܗ̇. ܘܬܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܢܝܒܡܝܗ̇.
6 The first-born son she bears shall continue the line of the deceased brother, that his name may not be blotted out from Israel.	6 ܘܒܘܟܪܐ ܕܝ̇ܠܕܐ ܢܫܬܡܐ ܥܠ ܫܡܐ ܕܐܚܘܗܝ ܡܝܬܐ. ܕܠܐ ܢܬܛܥܐ ܫܡܗ ܡܢ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ.
7 If, however, a man does not care to marry his brother's wife, she shall go up to the elders at the gate and declare, 'My brother-in-law does not intend to perform his duty toward me and refuses to perpetuate his brother's name in Israel.'	7 ܘܐܢ ܠܐ ܨ̇ܒܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܢܣܒ ܐܢܬܬ ܐܚܘܗܝ. ܬܣܩ ܐܢܬܬ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܠܬܪܥܐ ܠܘܬ ܣܒ̈ܐ ܘܬܐܡܪ. ܠܐ ܨ̇ܒܐ ܝܒܡܝ ܕܢܩܝܡ ܠܐܚܘܗܝ ܫܡܐ ܒܐܝܣܪܝܠ. ܘܠܐ ܨ̇ܒܐ ܠܡܣܒܢܝ .
8 Thereupon the elders of his city shall summon him and admonish him. If he persists in saying, 'I am not willing to marry her,'	8 ܢܩܪܘܢܗ ܣ̈ܒܐ ܕܩܪܝܬܗ. ܘܢܡܠܠܘܢ ܥܡܗ. ܘܐܢ ܢܩܘܡ ܘܢܐܡܪ ܕܠܐ ܢ̇ܣܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ̇.
9 his sister-in-law, in the presence of the elders, shall go up to him and strip his sandal from his foot and spit in his face, saying publicly, 'This is how one should be treated who will not build up his brother's family!'	9 ܬܩܪܘܒ ܐܝܒܡܬܗ ܠܘܬܗ ܩܕܡ ܣܒ̈ܐ. ܘܬܫܪܐ ܡܣܢܗ ܡܢ ܪܓܠܗ. ܘܬܪܘܩ ܒܐ̈ܦܘܗܝ ܘܬܐܡܪ. ܗܟܢܐ ܢܬܥܒܕ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܒܢܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܠܐܚܘܗܝ.
10 And his lineage shall be spoken of in Israel as 'the family of the man stripped of his sandal.'	10 ܘܢܬܩܪܐ ܫܡܗ ܒܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܝܬ ܫܪܐ ܡܣܢܐ.
11 "When two men are fighting and the wife of one intervenes to save her husband from the blows of his opponent, if she stretches out her hand and seizes the latter by his private parts,	11 ܘܟܕ ܢܨܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܘܐܚܘܗܝ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ. ܘܬܩܪܘܒ ܐܢܬܬ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ. ܠܡܦܨܝܘ ܒܥܠܗ̇ ܡܢ ܐ̈ܝܕܝ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܡܬܟܬܫ ܥܡܗ. ܘܬܘܫܛ ܐܝܕܗ̇ ܘܬܐܚܘܕ ܒܚܢܗ.
12 you shall chop off her hand without pity.	12 ܦܣܘܩ ܐܝܕܗ̇ ܘܠܐ ܬܚܘܣ ܥܝܢܟ ܥܠܝܗ̇.
13 "You shall not keep two differing weights in your bag, one large and the other small;	13 ܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܒܡܪܣܘܦܟ ܡܬܩܠܐ ܘܡܬܩܠܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܙܥܘܪܐ.
14 nor shall you keep two different measures in your house, one large and the other small.	14 ܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܒܒܝܬܟ. ܟܝܠܬܐ ܘܟܝܠܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܙܥܘܪܬܐ.
15 But use a true and just weight, and a true and just measure, that you may have a long life on the land which the LORD, your God, is giving you.	15 ܡܬܩܠܐ ܫܠܡܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟ. ܘܟܝܠܬܐ ܬܪܝܨܬܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܠܟ. ܕܢܣܓܘܢ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܟ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܝ̇ܗܒ ܠܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ.
16 Everyone who is dishonest in any of these matters is an abomination to the LORD, your God.	16 ܡܛܠ ܕܛܡܐ ܗܘ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ. ܟܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܥ̇ܒܕ ܗܠܝܢ. ܘܟܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܥ̇ܒܕ ܥܘܠܐ.
17 "Bear in mind what Amalek did to you on the journey after you left Egypt,	17 ܐܬܕܟܪ ܟܘܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܠܟ ܥܡܠܝܩ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ. ܟܕ ܢܦܩܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ.
18 how without fear of any god he harassed you along the way, weak and weary as you were, and cut off at the rear all those who lagged behind.	18 ܕܐܪܥܟܘܢ ܒܚܪܒܐ. ܘܩܛܠ ܒܟܘܢ ܟܠ ܕܦܫ ܒܬܪܟܘܢ. ܘܐܢܬ ܡܛܪܦ ܘܠܐܐ. ܘܠܐ ܕܚܠ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ.
19 Therefore, when the LORD, your God, gives you rest from all your enemies round about in the land which he is giving you to occupy as your heritage, you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under the heavens. Do not forget!	19 ܘܡܐ ܕܐܢܝܚ ܠܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝܟ ܕܒܚܕܪ̈ܝܟ. ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܝ̇ܗܒ ܠܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܝܘܪܬܢܐ. ܥܛܝ ܕܘܟܪܢܗ ܕܥܡܠܝܩ ܡܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܛܥܐ.
