Keessa Deebii 25

1 Yoo namoonni lama wal dhabanii gara mana murtii dhufan, abbootiin seeraa isa qulqulluu gad dhiisanii isa yakka qabutti muruu qabu.

If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.

2 Yoo namicha balleessaa qabu sanaaf garafamuun male abbaan murtii akka inni ciisu godhee fuula namichaa duratti lakkoobsa yakka isaatiif maluun isa haa garafsiisu;

And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number.

3 taʼus inni afurtama caalaa isa hin garafsiisin. Inni kana caalaa yoo garafame obboleessi kee fuula kee duratti ni qaanaʼa.

Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then your brother should seem vile unto you.

4 Qotiyyoo midhaan siribsiisuutti jiru afaan hin hidhin.

You shall not suppress the ox when he treads out the corn.

5 Yoo obboloonni wajjin jiraatanii isaan keessaa tokko utuu ilma hin dhalchin duʼe, niitiin isaa maatiidhaa alatti heerumuu hin qabdu. Waarsaan ishee ishee fuudhee niitii haa godhatu; waan waarsaan tokko guutuufii qabus isheedhaaf haa guutu.

If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.

6 Akka maqaan isaa Israaʼel gidduudhaa hin badneef ilmi isheen deessu hangafni maqaa obboleessa duʼe sanaatiin haa waamamu.

And it shall be, that the firstborn which she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.

7 Taʼus yoo namichi sun niitii obboleessa isaa fuudhuu hin barbaanne isheen gara balbala magaalaatti maanguddoota bira dhaqxee, “Waarsaan koo maqaa obboleessa isaa Israaʼel keessatti waamsisuu dideera. Inni waan waarsaan tokko guutuu qabu naaf hin guutu” haa jettuun.

And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuses to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother.

8 Ergasii maanguddoonni magaalaa isaatii waamanii isa haa haasofsiisan. Yoo inni yaada isaa geeddarachuu didee, “Ani ishee fuudhuu hin fedhu” jedhe,

Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her;

9 niitiin obboleessa isaa sun fuula maanguddootaa duratti gara isaa dhaqxee kophee miilla isaa tokko irraa baafti; fuula isaattis tuftee, “Nama obboleessa isaatiif mana hin dhaabne irratti waan akkanaatu raawwatama” haa jettu.

Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house.

10 Sanyiin nama sanaas Israaʼel keessatti, “Maatii kopheen irraa baafame” jedhamee waamama.

And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that has his shoe loosed.

11 Yoo utuu namoonni lama wal lolanii, niitiin isa tokkoo dhuftee dhirsa ishee harka namicha isa tumaa jiru sanaatii baasuuf harka ishee hiixattee saala namichaa qabde,

When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draws near in order to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that strikes him, and puts forth her hand, and takes him by the secrets:

12 ati harka ishee irraa muri. Garaa hin laafiniif.

Then you shall cut off her hand, your eye shall not pity her.

13 Korojoo kee keessaa madaaliiwwan wal caalan lama jechuun tokko ulfaataa tokko immoo kan hin ulfaanne hin qabaatin.

You shall not have in your bag divers weights, a great and a small.

14 Mana kee keessaa safartuuwwan garaa garaa lama jechuunis tokko guddaa tokko immoo xinnaa hin qabaatin.

You shall not have in your house divers measures, a great and a small.

15 Ati akka biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennu keessa bara dheeraa jiraattuuf madaalii fi safartuu qajeelaa fi amanamaa taʼe qabaadhu.

But you shall have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shall you have: that your days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD your God gives you.

16 Waaqayyo Waaqni kee nama waan akkasii hojjetu kam iyyuu, nama jalʼina hojjetu kam iyyuus ni balfaatii.

For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD your God.

17 Waan Amaaleqoonni yeroo ati Gibxii baatu karaa irratti si godhan sana yaadadhu.

Remember what Amalek did unto you by the way, when all of you were come forth out of Egypt;

18 Isaan yeroo ati dadhabdee bututtee turtetti karaa irratti si argatanii warra duubaan tirachaa turan hunda ajjeesan; Waaqas hin sodaanne.

How he met you by the way, and stroke the hindmost of you, even all that were feeble behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he feared not God.

19 Yommuu Waaqayyo Waaqni kee biyya dhaala godhee siif kennu keessatti diinota naannoo keetii irraa boqonnaa siif kennutti, yaadannoo Amaaleq samii jalaa balleessi. Waan kana hin dagatin!

Therefore it shall be, when the LORD your God has given you rest from all of your enemies round about, in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; you shall not forget it.
