< Deuteronomy 21 >

1 And if one be found slain with the sword in the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit, having fallen in the field, and they do not know who has smitten [him];
Ie zoeñe mibabòke an-kivoke ey, an-tane atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo, ho rambese’o t’indaty, ie tsy fohiñe te ia ty nanjevoñ’ aze,
2 thine elders and thy judges shall come forth, and shall measure the distances of the cities round about the slain man:
le hiavotse mb’eo o andro­anavi’oo naho o mpizaka’oo hanjehe pak’amo rova mañohoke i nañohofan-dozaio.
3 and it shall be that the city which is nearest to the slain man the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which has not laboured, and which has not borne a yoke.
Ie oniñe ty rova marine’ i vinonoy le o androanavi’ i rovaio ro handrambe kiloa mbe tsy nampitoloñeñe, mbe tsy nitari-joka,
4 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer into a rough valley, which has not been tilled and is not sown, and they shall slay the heifer in the valley.
le hendese’ o androanavi’ i rovaio hizotso mb’ am-bavatane aman-torahañe tsy mai-drano mb’ an-toetse tsy nirokafeñe tsy nitongiseñe mb’eo i kiloay vaho ho folahe’ iereo ty loha’ i kiloay am-bavatane eo;
5 And the priests the Levites shall come, because the Lord God has chosen them to stand by him, and to bless in his name, and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be [decided].
le hitotoke mb’eo amy zao o mpisoroñe ana’ i Levio, amy t’ie jinobo’ Iehovà Andria­nañahare’o hitoroñe aze naho hitata ami’ ty tahina’ Iehovà, vaho mahavoa zaka amy ze ali-vava naho lafa ty saontsi’ iareo;
6 And all the elders of that city who draw nigh to the slain man shall wash their hands over the head of the heifer which was slain in the valley;
le hanasa fitàñe ambone’ i kiloa finola-doha am-bavataney i androanavi’ i rova marine i vinonoy rey;
7 and they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, and our eyes have not seen [it].
le ty hoe ty ho lañona’ iareo: Tsy nampiorike ty lio tiañe o fità’aio vaho tsy niisam-pihaino’ay.
8 Be merciful to thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, O Lord, that innocent blood may not be charged on thy people Israel: and the blood shall be atoned for to them.
Apoho ondati’o Israele nijebañe’oo ry Iehovà vaho ko apo’o añivo’ondati’o Israeleo ty hakeon-dio-màliñe. Le ho hahàñe am’ iereo i lioy.
9 And thou shalt take away innocent blood from among you, if thou shouldest do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord thy God.
Izay ty hamongora’o ama’o ty lio-màliñe, ihe mitolon-kavantañañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà.
10 And if when thou goest out to war against thine enemies, the Lord thy God should deliver them into thine hands, and thou shouldest take their spoil,
Ie mionjoñe hialy amo rafelahi’oo mb’eo, naho atolo’ Iehovà Andria­nañahare’o am-pità’o ao iereo vaho asese’o mb’eo o tsinepakeo,
11 and shouldest see among the spoil a woman beautiful in countenance, and shouldest desire her, and take her to thyself for a wife,
le zoe’o amo mirohio ty ampela maintelè, naho harinea’o, vaho te handrambe aze ho vali’o;
12 and shouldest bring her within thine house: then shalt thou shave her head, and pare her nails;
le ha­sese’o mb’ añ’ akiba’o mb’eo naho ho hitsife’e ty volo’e vaho ho tomore’e o hoho’eo,
13 and shalt take away her garments of captivity from off her, and she shall abide in thine house, and shall bewail her father and mother the days of a month; and afterwards thou shalt go in to her and dwell with her, and she shall be thy wife.
le hafaha’e ama’e i fisikim-pandrohizañey naho hitobok’ añ’an­jomba’o ao re handala an-drae’e naho an-drene’e volañe raike do’e, modo izay le mete himoak’ ama’e rehe hanambaly aze vaho ie ty ho tañamjomba’o.
14 And it shall be if thou do not delight in her, thou shalt send her out free; and she shall not by any means be sold for money, thou shalt not treat her contemptuously, because thou hast humbled her.
Ie amy zay he malaiñ’ aze rehe, apoho handeha mb’an-tsatrie’e mb’eo; f’ie tsy haleta’o drala, vaho tsy ampisoañeñe fa narè’o.
15 And if a man have two wives, the one loved and the other hated, and both the loved and the hated should have born him [children], and the son of the hated should be first-born;
Ie mampirafe roe t’indaty, le tea’e ty raike naho heje’e ty raike, vaho songa mampipok’ anake ho aze i kokoa’ey naho i heje’ey; aa naho amy heje’ey i tañoloñoloña’ey,
16 then it shall be that whensoever he shall divide by inheritance his goods to his sons, he shall not be able to give the right of the first-born to the son of the loved one, having overlooked the son of the hated, which is the first-born.
le ie amy andro ampandova’e o ana’eo o fanaña’eoy le tsy mete hatao’e valohan’ ana’e ty ana-dahi’ i vali-iso’ey hasolo i ana-dahim-baly heje’ey, ie toe tañoloñoloña’e.
17 But he shall acknowledge the first-born of the hated one to give to him double of all things which shall be found by him, because he is the first of his children, and to him belongs the birthright.
Tsy mahai-tsy iantofe’e ho tañoloñoloña’e ty ana-dahi’ i heje’ey, am-panolorañe ama’e ty anjara roe amy ze hene fanaña’e; amy te ie ty valohan-tolin-kaozara’e, vaho aze ty zon-tañoloñoloñañe.
18 And if any man has a disobedient and contentious son, who hearkens not to the voice of his father and the voice of his mother, and they should correct him, and he should not hearken to them;
Naho eo ty manañ’ana-dahy miola, naho manjehatse tsy mañaoñe ty fiarañanañan-drae’e ndra ty fiarañanañan-drene’e, mbore tsy haoñe’e ty fandilova’ iareo aze,
19 then shall his father and his mother take hold of him, and bring him forth to the elders of his city, and to the gate of the place:
le ho rambese’ ty rae naho i rene’e, naho hasese mb’amo roandria’ i rovaio mb’andalambei’ i tanà’ey mb’eo;
20 and they shall say to the men of their city, This our son is disobedient and contentious, he hearkens not to our voice, he is a reveler and a drunkard.
le hanao ty hoe amo roandria’ i rovaio: Manjehatse naho miola ty ana-dahi’ay toy, tsy mañaoñe anay fa màhake naho jike.
21 And the men of his city shall stone him with stones, and he shall die; and thou shalt remove the evil one from yourselves, and the rest shall hear and fear.
Le ho retsahe’ o hene lahilahi’ i rova’eio vato hañohofan-doza ama’e. Izay ty hamongora’o ty hatserehañe ama’o; le ho janjiñe’ Israele iaby vaho ho hembañe.
22 And if there be sin in any one, [and] the judgment of death [be upon him], and he be put to death, and ye hang him on a tree:
Naho eo t’indaty voa zaka ami’ty hakeo mahafate vaho vonoeñe, aa ie aradorado’o an-katae,
23 his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but ye shall by all means bury it in that day; for every one that is hanged on a tree is cursed of God; and ye shall by no means defile the land which the Lord thy God gives thee for an inheritance.
asoao tsy hapok’ amy hataey ampara’ te porea’ ty maraindray i fañova’ey; tsy mete tsy haleve’o amy àndroy avao fa onjitse aman’ Añahare ze ampiradoradoeñe an-katae, tsy handeora’o ty tane atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo ho lova.
