9252.“不可在争讼的事上随众附和偏行,歪曲正义”表不与那些将良善和真理变为邪恶和虚假,反之亦然的人联系在一起。这从“在争讼的事上附和”、“随众偏行”和“歪曲”的含义清楚可知:“在争讼的事上附和”是指在公义和公平、良善和真理上应和,对它们有争议(参看9024节),因为“附和”表示给出意义并表达判断;“随众偏行”是指顺应众人,从而与他们联系在一起;“歪曲”是指将真理变为虚假,将良善变为邪恶,反之亦然。
Potts(1905-1910) 9252
9252. And thou shalt not answer upon a cause to turn aside after many to pervert it. That this signifies no association with those who turn goods and truths into evils and falsities, and conversely, is evident from the signification of "answering upon a cause," as being to do so about what is just and equitable, and what is good and true, concerning which there is contention (see n. 9024); to answer is to declare one's opinion, and to judge; and from the signification of "turning aside after many," as being to conform to, and thus associate with many; and from the signification of "perverting," as being to turn truth into falsity, and good into evil; and conversely.
Elliott(1983-1999) 9252
9252. '[And] you shall not respond in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert [justice]' means not being associated with those who turn forms of good and truths into evils and falsities, and vice versa. This is clear from the meaning of 'responding in a dispute' as answering in regard to what is just and fair, and what is good and true, about which there is contention, dealt with in 9024a, for 'answering' means giving an opinion and expressing a judgement; from the meaning of 'turning aside after many' as conforming with many and so being associated with them; and from the meaning of 'perverting' as turning truth into falsity and good into evil, and vice versa.

9252. `[Et] non respondebis super lite ad declinandum post multos ad pervertendum': quod significet non consociationem cum illis qui bona et vera vertunt in {1}mala et falsa, ac vicissim, constat ex significatione `respondere super lite' quod sit de justo et aequo, ac de bono et vero, de quibus contenditur, de qua n. 9024, `respondere' enim est dicere sententiam (c)et judicare; ex significatione `declinare post multos' quod sit conformatio et sic consociatio cum multis; et ex significatione `pervertere' quod sit vertere verum in falsum, et bonum in malum, ac vicissim. @1 falsa et mala$
