18.「人若有頑梗悖逆的兒子,不聽從父母的話,他們雖懲治他,他仍不聽從,
If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him,
19.父母就要抓住他,將他帶到本地的城門、本城的長老那裏,
his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town.
20.對長老說:『我們這兒子頑梗悖逆,不聽從我們的話,是貪食好酒的人。』
They shall say to the elders, 「This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.」
21.本城的眾人就要用石頭將他打死。這樣,就把那惡從你們中間除掉,以色列眾人都要聽見害怕。
Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.
Various Laws
22.人若犯該死的罪,被治死了,你將他掛在木頭上,
If someone guilty of a capital offense is put to death and their body is exposed on a pole,
23.他的屍首不可留在木頭上過夜,必要當日將他葬埋,免得玷汙了耶和華你 神所賜你為業之地。因為被掛的人是在 神面前受咒詛的。
you must not leave the body hanging on the pole overnight. Be sure to bury it that same day, because anyone who is hung on a pole is under God’s curse. You must not desecrate the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
