第二十五章 Deuteronomy 25
1.「人若有爭訟,來聽審判,審判官就要定義人有理,定惡人有罪。
When people have a dispute, they are to take it to court and the judges will decide the case, acquitting the innocent and condemning the guilty.
2.惡人若該受責打,審判官就要叫他當面伏在地上,按著他的罪照數責打。
If the guilty person deserves to be beaten, the judge shall make them lie down and have them flogged in his presence with the number of lashes the crime deserves,
3.只可打他四十下,不可過數;若過數,便是輕賤你的弟兄了。
but the judge must not impose more than forty lashes. If the guilty party is flogged more than that, your fellow Israelite will be degraded in your eyes.
4.牛在場上踹穀的時候,不可籠住牠的嘴。
Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.
