“ Does our law find a man guilty without hearing him first? Doesn’t it want to find out what he is doing?”

“不先听本人的口供，不知道他所做的事，难道我们的律法还定他的罪吗？”

“不先听本人的口供，查明他所做的事，难道我们的律法还定他的罪吗？”

“不先听本人的口供，查明他所做的事，难道我们的律法还定他的罪吗？”

“难道不听被告申辩，不查明事实真相，我们的律法就定祂的罪吗？”

“如果不先听取他本人的口供，查明他所作的事，我们的律法怎能把他定罪呢？”

“如果不先听本人的口供，并且了解他做了什么，我们的律法就定不了他的罪，难道不是吗？”

「不先聽本人的口供，不知道他所做的事，難道我們的律法還定他的罪嗎？」

「不先聽本人的口供，查明他所做的事，難道我們的律法還定他的罪嗎？」

「不先聽本人的口供，查明他所做的事，難道我們的律法還定他的罪嗎？」

「難道不聽被告申辯，不查明事實真相，我們的律法就定祂的罪嗎？」

“如果不先聽取他本人的口供，查明他所作的事，我們的律法怎能把他定罪呢？”

『若不先聽聽他本人的口供，而知道他所作的是甚麼事，難道我們的律法還定人的罪麼？』

「如果不先聽本人的口供，並且了解他做了什麼，我們的律法就定不了他的罪，難道不是嗎？」

未聽其言、不識其所為、而鞫之、豈我律乎、

未聽訟、不識其所為、我律豈罪之、

未究詰人、不識其所為、我律法豈罪之乎、

『未先聽訟、一究其所行、吾法豈能遽加以罪乎？』

“ Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?”

“ Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does?”

“ Is it legal to convict a man before he is given a hearing?” he asked.

“ Our law doesn’t judge a man before it hears from him and knows what he’s doing, does it?”

“ Our Law does not judge the person unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?”

“ Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?”

Doth our law judge a man, except it first hear from himself and know what he doeth?

“ Our law doesn’t judge a man before it hears from him and knows what he’s doing, does it?”

Doth our law judge[ any] man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?

“ Our law doesn’t condemn a man unless it first hears from him and learns what he is doing, does it?”

“ Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”

To answer before listening is foolish and shameful.

Then Paul said to him,“ You pretender! God will hit you! You sit there and judge me by the law. But you yourself broke the law when you commanded them to hit me!”

When you judge them, treat everyone the same. Listen to those who are important and those who are not. Don’t be afraid of anyone. God is the highest judge. Bring me any case that is too hard for you. I’ll listen to it.”

People will bring their cases to your courts. But some cases will be too hard for you to judge. They might be about murders, attacks or other crimes. Then take those hard cases to the place the Lord your God will choose.Go to a priest, who is a Levite. And go to the judge who is in office at that time. Ask them for their decision. They will give it to you.They’ll hand down their decisions at the place the Lord will choose. You must do what they decide. Be careful to do everything they tell you to do.Act according to whatever they teach you. Accept the decisions they give you. Don’t turn away from what they tell you. Don’t turn to the right or the left.

Suppose someone is charged with committing a crime of any kind. Then one witness won’t be enough to prove that person is guilty. Every matter must be proved by the words of two or three witnesses.Suppose a witness who tells lies goes to court and brings charges against someone. The witness says someone committed a crime.Then the two people in the case must stand in front of the Lord. They must stand in front of the priests and the judges who are in office at that time.The judges must check out the matter carefully. And suppose the witness is proved to be lying. Then he has said something false in court against another Israelite.So do to the lying witness what he tried to do to the other person. Get rid of that evil witness.

Two or three witnesses are required to put someone to death. No one can be put to death because of what only one witness says. Two or three witnesses are required.
