< Exodus 23 >

1 You shall not receive a vain report: you shall not agree with the unjust [man] to become an unjust witness.
Ko minday tolom-boetse, ko manò-pitàñe ami’ty tsereheñe hitaroña’o entam-bìlañe.
2 You shall not associate with the multitude for evil; you shall not join yourself with a multitude to turn aside with the majority so as to shut out judgment.
Ko orihe’o ty maro hikabo-draha; naho ko mireketse amy màroy handesa’o talily mampiolake ty hato;
3 And you shall not spare a poor man in judgment.
vaho ko osihe’o ami’ty kabò’e ty rarake.
4 And if you meet your enemy's ox or his ass going astray, you shall turn them back and restore them to him.
Ihe mifanojeha ami’ty añomben-drafe­lahi’o, ndra ami’ty borìke’e nandifike, le tsi-mete tsy hampolia’o.
5 And if you see your enemy's ass fallen under its burden, you shall not pass by it, but shall help to raise it with him.
Naho mifanjò ami’ty borì’ i mpalaiñ’ azoy tafahohok’ ambane’ o kilanka’eo, ko rioñeñe, fa tsi-mahay tsy holora’o hampibalak’ aze.
6 You shall not wrest the sentence of the poor in his judgment.
Ko mengohe’o ty fizakañe i rarake ama’oy ty amy naneseha’ey.
7 You shall abstain from every unjust thing: you shall not kill the innocent and just, and you shall not justify the wicked for gifts.
Mihankaña ami’ty raha tsy to; ko mañoho-doza amo vantañeo naho amo vañoñeo. Fe tsy ho meako to i tsereheñey.
8 And you shall not receive gifts; for gifts blind the eyes of the seeing, and corrupt just words.
Ko mandrambe vokañe, fa mahagoa ty mahavazoho ty ravoravo, naho mañamengoke ty saontsi’ o mahitio.
9 And you shall not afflict a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger; for you were yourselves strangers in the land of Egypt.
Ko forekeke’o ty renetane amy te fohi’ areo ty tron-drenetane, fa ni-renetane an-tane Mitsraime añe ka nahareo.
10 Six years you shall sow your land, and gather in the fruits of it.
Enen-taoñe ty hambolea’o ty tane’o hanontoñe ty voka’e,
11 But in the seventh year you shall let it rest, and leave it, and the poor of your nation shall feed; and the wild beasts of the field shall eat that which remains: thus shall you do to your vineyard and to your oliveyard.
fe ko irangàm-pangaly amy faha-fitoy, hitofà’e, hikamà’ ondaty rarake ama’oo; le ho hane’ o bibin-kivokeo ty nasisa. Ampanahafo amy zay ty tanem-balobo’o naho ty golobon-olive’o.
12 Six days shall you do your works, and on the seventh day there shall be rest, that your ox and your ass may rest, and that the son of your maidservant and the stranger may be refreshed.
Eneñ’ andro ty hitoloña’o, le hitofa ami’ty andro fahafito, soa te hitofa ka ty añombe’o naho ty borìke’o vaho ho haha ka ty anam-pitoro’o ampela naho ty renetane.
13 Observe all things whatever I have commanded you; and you shall make no mention of the name of other gods, neither shall they be heard out of your mouth.
Ambeno i vinolako rezay, le ko toñone’ areo ty añara’ ze o ndrahare ila’e zao vaho ko apo’o ho janjiñeñe am-palie’o.
14 Keep you a feast to me three times in the year.
In-telo ami’ty taoñe ty hanoa’o takataka amako:
15 Take heed to keep the feast of unleavened bread: seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I charged you at the season of the month of new [corn], for in it you came out of Egypt: you shall not appear before me empty.
Hambena’o ty Sabadidake Mofo po-Dalivay; fito andro ty hikama’o mofo po-dalivay, amy nandiliako azoy, amy namantañako aze am-bolan-Kofahofay, fa ama’e ty nienga’o i Mitsraime: vaho tsy hatrefeñe an-tañam-polo raho;
16 And you shall keep the feast of the harvest of first fruits of your labors, whatever you shall have sown in your field, and the feast of completion at the end of the year in the gathering in of your fruits out of your field.
le i Sabadidam-pitatahañey, ty lengom-boa’ o fitoloña’oo, o nambole’o antetekeo; vaho i Takataka-Panontonañey, amy figadoñan-taoñe anontona’o sabo an-tete’o ao.
17 Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord your God.
Homb’ añatrefa’ Iehovà Talè in-telo ami’ty taoñe ze hene lahilahy.
18 For when I shall have cast out the nations from before you, and shall have widened your borders, you shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, neither must the fat of my feast abide till the morning.
Ko atraok’ an-dio soroñeñe amako ty mofo aman-dalivay le tsy hampialeñeñe ho sisaeñe hamaray ty havondra’ o famantañakoo.
19 You shall bring the first-offerings of the first fruits of your land into the house of the Lord your God. You shall not seethe a lamb in its mother's milk.
Aseseo mb’añ’anjomba’ ­Iehovà An­dria­nañahare’o ty loha’e, toe ty lengom-boan-tane’o. Ko ahandroeñe an-drononon-drene’e ty anak’ose.
20 And, behold, I send my angel before your face, that he may keep you in the way, that he may bring you into the land which I have prepared for you.
Ingo, hampiaolòeko ty anjely hañimb’ azo amy lalañey, hanese azo mb’ amy tane nihalankañekoy.
21 Take heed to yourself and listen to him, and disobey him not; for he will not give way to you, for my name is on him.
Itaò vaho oriho ty fiarañanaña’e, le ko iolañe, toe tsy hapo’e o fandilara’ areoo fa ama’e ty añarako.
22 If you will indeed hear my voice, and if you will do all the things I shall charge you with, and keep my covenant, you shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations, for the whole earth is mine; and you shall be to me a royal priesthood, and a holy nation: these words shall you speak to the children of Israel, If you shall indeed hear my voice, and do all the things I shall tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
Aa naho toe ambena’o i fiarañanaña’ey naho anoe’o o itaroñako iabio, le ho rafelahiko o rafelahi’oo vaho hifankalaiñe amo mpifankalaiñe ama’o raho.
23 For my angel shall go as your leader, and shall bring you to the Amorite, and Chettite, and Pherezite, and Chananite, and Gergesite, and Evite, and Jebusite, and I will destroy them.
Le hiaolo azo i Sorotàkoy hanese azo mb’ amo nte-Emoreo naho amo nte-Kheteo naho amo nte-Perizeo naho amo nte-Kanàneo naho amo nte-Kiveo vaho amo nte-Iebòseo mb’eo, fa haitoako.
24 You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them: you shall not do according to their works, but shall utterly destroy them, and break to pieces their pillars.
Ko milokoloko amo ‘ndrahare’eo, le ko itoroña’o, ndra mitsikombe o sata’eo; fa toe ho fonga rotsahe’o vaho ho firae’o o hazomanga’eo.
25 And you shall serve the Lord your God, and I will bless your bread and your wine and your water, and I will turn away sickness from you.
Toroño t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, le ho tahie’e ty mahakama’o naho ty rano’o vaho hampihankàñeko ze atao hasilofañe añivo’o ao,
26 There shall not be on your land one that is impotent or barren. I will surely fulfil the number of your days.
le tsy ho aman-drakemba hañafake ndra ty ho betsite­rak’ an-tane’o ao; vaho ho henefeko o andro’oo.
27 And I will send terror before you, and I will strike with amazement all the nations to which you shall come, and I will make all your enemies to flee.
Ham­pi­hitrifeko hiaolo azo ty fihembañañe ahy, le hampitsamborohotaheko iaby t’in­daty hivotraha’o vaho fonga hampiambohoeko azo o rafelahi’oo.
28 And I will send hornets before you, and you shall cast out the Amorites and the Evites, and the Chananites and the Chettites from you.
Hiraheko fanene-bola hiaolo azo hampibaibay o nte-Kiveo naho o nte-Kanàneo naho o nte-Kheteo aolo’o ey.
29 I will not cast them out in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against you.
F’ie tsy hataoko soik’ ami’ty taoñe raike tsy mone hangoakoake i taney vaho hifamorohotse ama’o o biby hakoo.
30 By little [and little] I will cast them out from before you, until you shall be increased and inherit the earth.
Ho roaheko boak’ ama’o erike ampara’ te nihamaro rehe hahalova i taney.
31 And I will set your borders from the Red Sea, to the sea of the Phylistines, and from the wilderness to the great river Euphrates; and I will give into your hand those that dwell in the land, and will cast them out from you.
Hajadoko boak’ amy Riake Menay pak’ an-dRia’ o nte-Pilistio ty efe-tane’o naho boak’ amy fatrambeiy pak’amy sakay; le ha­seseko am-pità’ areo ty mpimoneñe amy taney haronje’o mb’aolo’o mb’eo.
32 You shall make no covenant with them and their gods.
Tsy hifañina ama’e ndra amo ndrahare’eo rehe.
33 And they shall not dwell in your land, lest they cause you to sin against me; for if you should serve their gods, these will be an offense to you.
Tsy himoneña’e ty tane’o, hera hampanan-kakeo azo amako, fa naho toroñe’o o ‘ndrahare’eo, le toe ho fandrik’ ama’o.
