Deuteronomy 21
1 If someone is found slain in the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess, lying in the field, and it isn’t known who has struck 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 then your elders and your judges shall come out, and they shall measure to the cities which are around him who is slain.
le hiavotse mb’eo o androanavi’oo naho o mpizaka’oo hanjehe pak’amo rova mañohoke i nañohofan-dozaio.
3 It shall be that the elders of the city which is nearest to the slain man shall take a heifer of the herd, which hasn’t been worked with and which has not drawn in the yoke.
Ie oniñe ty rova marine’ i vinonoy le o androanavi’ i rovaio ro handrambe kiloa mbe tsy nampitoloñeñe, mbe tsy nitari-joka,
4 The elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a valley with running water, which is neither ploughed nor sown, and shall break the heifer’s neck there 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 The priests the sons of Levi shall come near, for them the LORD your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the LORD’s name; and according to their word shall every controversy and every assault 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 All the elders of that city which is nearest to the slain man shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley.
le hanasa fitàñe ambone’ i kiloa finola-doha am-bavataney i androanavi’ i rova marine i vinonoy rey;
7 They shall answer and say, “Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
le ty hoe ty ho lañona’ iareo: Tsy nampiorike ty lio tiañe o fità’aio vaho tsy niisam-pihaino’ay.
8 Forgive, LORD, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and don’t allow innocent blood amongst your people Israel.” The blood shall be forgiven 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 So you shall put away the innocent blood from amongst you, when you shall do that which is right in the LORD’s eyes.
Zay ty hamongora’o ama’o ty lio-màliñe, ihe mitolon-kavantañañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà.
10 When you go out to battle against your enemies, and the LORD your God delivers them into your hands and you carry them away captive,
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 see amongst the captives a beautiful woman, and you are attracted to her, and desire to take her as your wife,
le zoe’o amo mirohio ty ampela maintelè, naho harinea’o, vaho te handrambe aze ho vali’o;
12 then you shall bring her home to your house. She shall shave her head and trim 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 She shall take off the clothing of her captivity, and shall remain in your house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month. After that you shall go in to her and be her husband, 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 zay le mete himoak’ ama’e rehe hanambaly aze vaho ie ty ho tañamjomba’o.
14 It shall be, if you have no delight in her, then you shall let her go where she desires; but you shall not sell her at all for money. You shall not deal with her as a slave, because you have 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 If a man has two wives, the one beloved and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated, and if the firstborn son is hers who was hated,
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, in the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which he has, that he may not give the son of the beloved the rights of the firstborn before the son of the hated, who is the firstborn;
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 firstborn, the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he has; for he is the beginning of his strength. The right of the firstborn is his.
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 has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and though they chasten him, will not listen 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 his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city and to the gate of his 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 They shall tell the elders of his city, “This our son is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey our voice. He is a glutton 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 All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall remove the evil from amongst you. All Israel shall hear, and fear.
Le ho retsahe’ o hene lahilahi’ i rova’eio vato hañohofan-doza ama’e. Zay ty hamongora’o ty hatserehañe ama’o; le ho janjiñe’ Israele iaby vaho ho hembañe.
22 If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is put to death, and you 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 on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for he who is hanged is accursed of God. Don’t defile your land which the LORD your God gives you 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.
