Mousese Ea Malasu 17
1 Dilia Hina Godema gobele salimusa: , wadela: i o bahoi bulamagau o sibi mae ima. Hina Gode da amo hou higasa.
No ox or sheep which has a mark on it or is damaged in any way may be offered to the Lord your God: for that is disgusting to the Lord your God.
2 Dilia moilai amo ganodini dunu o uda afae da Hina Godema wadela: le hamosea amola Ea gousa: su gugunufinisisia,
If there is any man or woman among you, in any of the towns which the Lord your God gives you, who does evil in the eyes of the Lord your God, sinning against his agreement,
3 e da eno ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi o eso o oubi o gasumuni, Gode Ea sia: wadela: musa: ilima nodone sia: ne gadosea,
By becoming a servant of other gods and worshipping them or the sun or the moon or all the stars of heaven, against my orders;
4 amo sia: nabasea, dilia bai dawa: ma: ne noga: le hogoma. Amo wadela: i hou da dafawane Isala: ili soge ganodini hamoi dagoi ba: sea,
If word of this comes to your ears, then let this thing be looked into with care, and if there is no doubt that it is true, and such evil has been done in Israel;
5 amo dunu moilai gadili oule asili, igiga gala: le, medole legema.
Then you are to take the man or woman who has done the evil to the public place of your town, and they are to be stoned with stones till they are dead.
6 Be hedolo mae medole legema. Ba: su dunu aduna o aduna baligi da ea wadela: i hou dafawane ba: i dagoiba: le fawane, medole legema. Be dunu afae fawane da ba: su dunu esalea, mae medole legema.
On the word of two or three witnesses, a man may be given the punishment of death; but he is not to be put to death on the word of one witness.
7 Ba: su dunu da degabo amo dunu medole legema: ne, igiga gala: ma: ma. Amasea, dunu huluane da amo igiga medomu. Amasea, dilia da wadela: i hou Isala: ili amo ganodini fadegale fasimu.
The hands of the witnesses will be the first to put him to death, and after them the hands of all the people. So you are to put away the evil from among you.
8 Be moilai fofada: su dunu da fofada: su eno da ilima hamedei agoane ba: sea - amo da medole legesu o sogega gegesu o fasu - dilia da amo dunu dilia Hina Gode Ea ilegei sogebi amoga oule masa.
If you are not able to give a decision as to who is responsible for a death, or who is right in a cause, or who gave the first blow in a fight, and there is a division of opinion about it in your town: then go to the place marked out by the Lord your God;
9 Dilia gobele salasu dunu (Lifai dunu) amola fofada: su dunu bagade amoga adole ba: musa: masa. Ilia da fofada: lalu, sia: dilima olelemu.
And come before the priests, the Levites, or before him who is judge at the time: and they will go into the question and give you a decision:
10 Ilia da Hina Gode Ea ilegei sogebi amogawi dilima hou olelemu. Dawa: ma! Dilia ilia sia: huluane defele hamoma.
And you are to be guided by the decision they give in the place named by the Lord, and do whatever they say:
11 Ilia da sema amola hou huluane dilima olelemu. Ilia olelei defele, noga: le hamoma. Lobodafa la: ididili o lobo fofadi la: ididili amoga mae masa be moloidafa gusuba: i masa.
Acting in agreement with their teaching and the decision they give: not turning to one side or the other from the word they have given you.
12 Be nowa dunu da fofada: su bagade dunu o gobele salasu dunu (amo da Godema hawa: hamonana) amo higasea, amo dunu dilia medole legema. Amo wadela: i hou Isala: ili fi ganodini diala, dilia fadegale fasima.
And any man who, in his pride, will not give ear to the priest whose place is there before the Lord your God, or to the judge, is to be put to death: you are to put away the evil from Israel.
13 Dunu huluane da amo hou nababeba: le, beda: mu. Amasea, ilia da amo higasu hou bu hame hamomu.
And all the people, hearing of it, will be full of fear and put away their pride.
14 Dilia da soge amo dilia Hina Gode da dilima iaha amo ganodini fi dagosea, dilia da na: iyado fi dilima gadenene esala defele hina bagade dunu ilegemusa: dawa: mu.
When you have come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and have taken it for a heritage and are living in it, if it is your desire to have a king over you, like the other nations round about you;
15 Be dilia hina bagade ilegemusa: dawa: sea, noga: le dawa: ma! Hina Gode Ea ilegei dunu fawane lama. Dilia fidafa dunu fawane lama. Ga fi dunu amo maedafa ilegema.
Then see that you take as your king the man named by the Lord your God: let your king be one of your countrymen, not a man of another nation who is not one of yourselves.
16 Amo hina bagade dunu da hosi bagohame hame gagumu. Amola e da ea fi dunu hosi bidi lama: ne Idibidi sogega hame asunasimu. Bai Hina Gode da Ea fi dunu da Idibidi sogega hamedafa buhagima: ne sia: i dagoi.
And he is not to get together a great army of horses for himself, or make the people go back to Egypt to get horses for him: because the Lord has said, You will never again go back that way.
17 Hina bagade dunu da uda bagohame, amo hame lama: mu. Bai e da Hina Gode Ea hou fisisa: besa: le, uda eno hame lama: mu. E da silifa, gouli amola muni bagade hame lama: mu.
And he is not to have a great number of wives, for fear that his heart may be turned away; or great wealth of silver and gold.
18 E da hina bagade hawa: hamosu lalegagusia, e da Gode Ea sema amola Ea olelesu (amo Lifai gobele salasu dunu ilia gagusa) amo huluane dedene gaguma: mu.
And when he has taken his place on the seat of his kingdom, he is to make in a book a copy of this law, from that which the priests, the Levites, have in their care:
19 E da amo buga lalegaguli, eso huluane idilalumu. Amasea, e da amo dawa: le Hina Godema nodone dawa: mu amola mae yolesili, Gode Ea sia: defele lalumu.
And it is to be with him for his reading all the days of his life, so that he may be trained in the fear of the Lord his God to keep and do all the words of this teaching and these laws:
20 Amasea, e da gasa fi hou mae hamone, ea hou da ea na: iyado Isala: ili fi amo baligisa e da hame dawa: mu. E da Gode Ea sia: amo giadofamu da hamedei ba: mu. E da hina bagade ouligisu hou ode bagohame hamoma: mu. Amola ea mano da Isala: ili dunu ilima hina bagade ouligisu dunu ode bagohame esalumu.
So that his heart may not be lifted up over his countrymen, and he may not be turned away from the orders, to one side or the other: but that his life and the lives of his children may be long in his kingdom in Israel.
