14.「在耶和華你 神所賜你承受為業之地,不可挪移你鄰舍的地界,那是先人所定的。
Do not move your neighbor’s boundary stone set up by your predecessors in the inheritance you receive in the land the LORD your God is giving you to possess.
Witnesses
15.「人無論犯什麼罪,作什麼惡,不可憑一個人的口作見證,總要憑兩三個人的口作見證才可定案。
One witness is not enough to convict anyone accused of any crime or offense they may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.
16.若有凶惡的見證人起來,見證某人作惡,
If a malicious witness takes the stand to accuse someone of a crime,
17.這兩個爭訟的人就要站在耶和華面前,和當時的祭司,並審判官面前,
the two people involved in the dispute must stand in the presence of the LORD before the priests and the judges who are in office at the time.
18.審判官要細細地查究,若見證人果然是作假見證的,以假見證陷害弟兄,
The judges must make a thorough investigation, and if the witness proves to be a liar, giving false testimony against a fellow Israelite,
19.你們就要待他如同他想要待的弟兄。這樣,就把那惡從你們中間除掉。
then do to the false witness as that witness intended to do to the other party. You must purge the evil from among you.
20.別人聽見都要害怕,就不敢在你們中間再行這樣的惡了。
The rest of the people will hear of this and be afraid, and never again will such an evil thing be done among you.
21.你眼不可顧惜,要以命償命,以眼還眼,以牙還牙,以手還手,以腳還腳。
Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
