Deuteronomy 25:5 in English

When brothers dwell together and one of them dies without a son, the widow must not marry outside the family. Her husband’s brother is to take her as his wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law for her.*
Context
3lakini kamwe asichapwe zaidi ya viboko arobaini. Ikiwa atachapwa zaidi ya viboko arobaini, nduguyo atadhalilika machoni pako. 4Usimfunge maksai kinywa anapopura nafaka. 5Ikiwa ndugu wanaishi pamoja na mmoja wao akafa bila kuacha mwana, kamwe mjane wake asiolewe nje ya jamaa hiyo. Ndugu wa mumewe atamchukua, amwoe na kutimiza wajibu wa shemeji kwake. 6Mwana wa kwanza atakayemzaa atapewa jina la ndugu aliyekufa ili jina lake lisifutike katika Israeli. 7Hata hivyo, ikiwa ndugu huyo wa mume hataki kuoa huyo mke wa nduguye, mjane atawaendea wazee kwenye lango la mji na kusema, “Ndugu wa mume wangu anakataa kuendeleza jina la nduguye katika Israeli. Hataki kutimiza wajibu wa shemeji kwangu.”
