And if the man like not to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband’s brother unto me.

But if the man says he will not take his brother's wife, then let the wife go to the responsible men of the town, and say, My husband's brother will not keep his brother's name living in Israel; he will not do what it is right for a husband's brother to do.

Εαν δε ο ανθρωπος δεν ευαρεστηται να λαβη την γυναικα του αδελφου αυτου, τοτε η γυνη του αδελφου αυτου ας αναβη εις την πυλην προς τους πρεσβυτερους και ας ειπη, Ο αδελφος του ανδρος μου αρνειται να αναστηση το ονομα του αδελφου αυτου εν τω Ισραηλ· δεν θελει να εκπληρωση εις εμε το χρεος του ανδραδελφου.

And if the man like not to take his brother’s wife, then let his brother’s wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband’s brother.
