How to say "Judgment" in Japanese

When translating "judgment" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between 見計らい and 成敗.

On the other hand, 成敗 (せいばい (seibai)) maps to "judgment, punishment; reward or punishment (historical)" (Syllabus Level: N1) and represents Historically, it meant administering justice, often involving punishment for wrongdoing. In modern usage, it can sometimes be used playfully or in a dramatic context to mean "to deal with" or "to get rid of" someone/something, especially an antagonist..
