Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

25:1

ἐὰν δὲ γένηται ἀντιλογία ἀνὰ μέσον ἀνθρώπων καὶ προσέλθωσιν εἰς κρίσιν καὶ κρίνωσιν καὶ δικαιώσωσιν τὸν δίκαιον καὶ καταγνῶσιν τοῦ ἀσεβοῦς

If a dispute arises between men and they come to judgment, and they judge and justify the righteous and condemn the ungodly,

人與人之間若起了爭訟，來到審判之處，審判官審斷他們，定義人為義，定不敬虔的人有罪；

25:2

καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν ἄξιος ᾖ πληγῶν ὁ ἀσεβῶν καὶ καθιεῖς αὐτὸν ἔναντι τῶν κριτῶν καὶ μαστιγώσουσιν αὐτὸν ἐναντίον αὐτῶν κατὰ τὴν ἀσέβειαν αὐτοῦ ἀριθμῷ

then, if the ungodly man deserves stripes, you shall seat him before the judges, and they shall scourge him in their presence according to his ungodliness, by number.

那不敬虔的人若該受責打，你就要叫他在審判官面前坐下，照著他所行的不敬虔，按數目在他們面前鞭打他。

25:3

τεσσαράκοντα μαστιγώσουσιν αὐτόν οὐ προσθήσουσιν ἐὰν δὲ προσθῶσιν μαστιγῶσαι αὐτὸν ὑπὲρ ταύτας τὰς πληγὰς πλείους ἀσχημονήσει ὁ ἀδελφός σου ἐναντίον σου

Forty stripes they shall give him; they shall not add more. But if they add to scourge him beyond these stripes, with more, your brother will be disgraced before you.

只可打他四十下，不可加多；若再加多，打他超過這些數目，你的弟兄就在你眼前受羞辱了。

25:4

οὐ φιμώσεις βοῦν ἀλοῶντα

You shall not muzzle an ox while it is threshing.

牛在踹穀的時候，不可籠住牠的嘴。

25:5

ἐὰν δὲ κατοικῶσιν ἀδελφοὶ ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ ἀποθάνῃ εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν σπέρμα δὲ μὴ ᾖ αὐτῷ οὐκ ἔσται ἡ γυνὴ τοῦ τεθνηκότος ἔξω ἀνδρὶ μὴ ἐγγίζοντι ὁ ἀδελφὸς τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς εἰσελεύσεται πρὸς αὐτὴν καὶ λήμψεται αὐτὴν ἑαυτῷ γυναῖκα καὶ συνοικήσει αὐτῇ

If brothers dwell together and one of them dies and has no seed, the wife of the dead man shall not go outside to a man who is not a relative; her husband's brother shall go in to her and take her to himself as wife and live with her.

弟兄同住，若其中一人死了，沒有留下後裔，死者的妻不可出去嫁給外人，就是沒有親屬關係的人；她丈夫的兄弟要進到她那裡，娶她為妻，與她同住。

25:6

καὶ ἔσται τὸ παιδίον ὃ ἐὰν τέκῃ κατασταθήσεται ἐκ τοῦ ὀνόματος τοῦ τετελευτηκότος καὶ οὐκ ἐξαλειφθήσεται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐξ Ισραηλ

And the child whom she bears shall be established in the name of the deceased, and his name shall not be blotted out from Israel.

她所生的孩子，要歸在那已死之人的名下，免得他的名從以色列中被塗抹。

25:7

ἐὰν δὲ μὴ βούληται ὁ ἄνθρωπος λαβεῖν τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀναβήσεται ἡ γυνὴ ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην ἐπὶ τὴν γερουσίαν καὶ ἐρεῖ οὐ θέλει ὁ ἀδελφὸς τοῦ ἀνδρός μου ἀναστῆσαι τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐν Ισραηλ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ὁ ἀδελφὸς τοῦ ἀνδρός μου

But if the man does not wish to take his brother's wife, then the woman shall go up to the gate, to the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuses to raise up his brother's name in Israel; my husband's brother is unwilling.

那人若不願娶他兄弟的妻，那婦人就要上到城門口的長老會那裡，說：我丈夫的兄弟不肯在以色列中為他的兄弟立名，我丈夫的兄弟不願意。

25:8

καὶ καλέσουσιν αὐτὸν ἡ γερουσία τῆς πόλεως αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐροῦσιν αὐτῷ καὶ στὰς εἴπῃ οὐ βούλομαι λαβεῖν αὐτήν

And the elders of his city shall summon him and speak to him; and if he stands and says, I do not wish to take her,

本城的長老會就要召他來，與他說話。他若站起來說：我不願娶她，

25:9

καὶ προσελθοῦσα ἡ γυνὴ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ ἔναντι τῆς γερουσίας καὶ ὑπολύσει τὸ ὑπόδημα αὐτοῦ τὸ ἓν ἀπὸ τοῦ ποδὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐμπτύσεται εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀποκριθεῖσα ἐρεῖ οὕτως ποιήσουσιν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ὃς οὐκ οἰκοδομήσει τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ

then his brother's wife shall come forward before the elders and pull off his one sandal from his foot and spit in his face, and she shall answer and say, So shall it be done to the man who will not build up his brother's house.

他兄弟的妻就要在長老會面前上前來，脫下他腳上的一隻鞋，吐唾沫在他臉上，應聲說：凡不肯為他兄弟建立家室的人，就必這樣被待。
