Deuteronomy 21
1 “When there will have been found in the land, which the Lord your God will give to you, the corpse of a man who has been killed, and it is not known who is guilty of the murder,
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 your judges and those greater by birth shall go out and measure, from the place of the corpse, the distance to each of the surrounding cities.
le hiavotse mb’eo o androanavi’oo naho o mpizaka’oo hanjehe pak’amo rova mañohoke i nañohofan-dozaio.
3 And in whichever one they perceive to be closer than the others, the elders shall take a calf from the herd, one which has not pulled with a yoke, nor tilled with a plow.
Ie oniñe ty rova marine’ i vinonoy le o androanavi’ i rovaio ro handrambe kiloa mbe tsy nampitoloñeñe, mbe tsy nitari-joka,
4 And they shall lead it into a rough and stony valley, one which has never been tilled or sown. And in that place, they shall cut the neck of the calf.
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 sons of Levi shall approach, those whom the Lord your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in his name, and to decide every controversy by their word, and to judge which things are clean and which are unclean.
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 those greater by birth of that city, nearest to the one who was slain, shall go and shall wash their hands over the calf that was killed 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 say: ‘Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see 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 your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, O Lord, and do not charge them with innocent blood in the midst of your people Israel.’ And so the guilt of the blood will be taken away from 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 Then you will be free from the blood that was shed against the innocent, when you will have done as the Lord has instructed you.
Izay ty hamongora’o ama’o ty lio-màliñe, ihe mitolon-kavantañañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà.
10 If you have gone out to fight against your enemies, and the Lord your God has delivered them into your hand, and if, as you are leading away the captives,
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 you see among the number of the captives a beautiful woman, and you love her, and you are willing to have her as a wife:
le zoe’o amo mirohio ty ampela maintelè, naho harinea’o, vaho te handrambe aze ho vali’o;
12 then you shall lead her into your house. And she shall shave off her hair, and cut her nails short,
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 remove the garment in which she was captured. And she shall sit in your house and weep for her father and mother, for one month. And after that, you shall enter to her and sleep with her, and she shall be your 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 But if afterwards she does not sit well in your mind, you shall set her free. You cannot sell her for money, nor can you oppress her by force. For you have humiliated 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 If a man has two wives, one beloved and the other hated, and they have produced children by him, and if the son of the hated wife is the firstborn,
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 and if he wishes to divide his substance among his sons: he cannot make the son of the beloved wife the firstborn, and so prefer him before the son of the hated wife.
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 Instead, he shall acknowledge the son of the hated wife as the firstborn, and he shall give to him a double portion of all that he has. For he is the first among his children, and the rights of the firstborn are owed to him.
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 If a man produces a disobedient and reckless son, who will not listen to the orders of his father or mother, and, having been corrected, shows contempt for obedience:
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 they shall take him and lead him to the elders of the city and to the gate of judgment.
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 them: ‘This our son is reckless and disobedient. He shows contempt when listening to our admonitions. He occupies himself with carousing, and self-indulgence, and feasting.’
le hanao ty hoe amo roandria’ i rovaio: Manjehatse naho miola ty ana-dahi’ay toy, tsy mañaoñe anay fa màhake naho jike.
21 Then the people of the city shall stone him to death. And he shall die, so that you may take away the evil from your midst. And so may all of Israel, upon hearing it, be very afraid.
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 When a man will have sinned in a matter which is punished by death, and, having been judged unto death, he has been hanged on a gallows:
Naho eo t’indaty voa zaka ami’ty hakeo mahafate vaho vonoeñe, aa ie aradorado’o an-katae,
23 his corpse shall not remain on the tree. Instead, he shall be buried on the same day. For he who hangs from a tree has been cursed by God, and you shall not defile your land, which the Lord your God will give to you as a possession.”
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.
