Deuteronomy 19
1 When Jehovah thy God shall cut off the nations, whose land Jehovah thy God gives thee, and thou succeed them, and dwell in their cities, and in their houses,
Rehefa aringan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ny firenen-tsamy hafa, izay tompon’ ny tany omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao, ary mandresy azy ianao ka monina ao an-tanànany sy ao an-tranony,
2 thou shall set apart three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which Jehovah thy God gives thee to possess it.
dia manokàna tanàna telo ho anao eo afovoan’ ny taninao, izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao holovana.
3 Thou shall prepare for thee the way, and divide the borders of thy land, which Jehovah thy God causes thee to inherit, into three parts, that every manslayer may flee there.
Amboary ny lalana, ka zarao ho telo toko ny taninao, izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao holovanao, mba handosiran’ ny mahafaty olona rehetra ao.
4 And this is the case of the manslayer, who shall flee there and live: Whoever kills his neighbor unawares, and did not hate him in time past,
Ary ny mahafaty olona izay hovelomina, raha mandositra ao, dia ny mahafaty ny namany tsy nahy ka tsy nankahala azy teo aloha
5 as when a man goes into the forest with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand fetches a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the helve, and lands upon his neighbor, so that he dies, he shall flee to one of these cities and live.
toy ny olona izay miaraka amin’ ny namany ho any an’ ala hikapa hazo, koa manainga ny famaky hikapa ny hazo ny tànany, dia mitsoaka amin’ ny zarany ny lela-famaky, ary mahavoa ny namany ka mahafaty azy, dia aoka handositra ao amin’ ny anankiray amin’ ireo tanàna ireo izy ka hovelomina;
6 Lest the avenger of blood pursue the manslayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and smite him mortally, whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he did not hate him in time past.
fandrao hanenjika ny nahafaty olona ny mpamaly rà, raha mbola mirehitra ny fony, ka hahatratra azy, noho ny halavitry ny alehany, dia hahafaty azy izy; nefa tsy tokony ho faty izy, satria tsy nankahala ny namany teo aloha.
7 Therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shall set apart three cities for thee.
Koa izany no andidiako anao hoe: Manokàna tanàna telo ho anao.
8 And if Jehovah thy God enlarge thy border, as he has sworn to thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give to thy fathers,
Ary raha hitarin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ny fari-taninao, araka izay nianianany tamin’ ny razanao, ka homeny anao ny tany rehetra izay nolazainy homena ny razanao
9 if thou shall keep all this commandment to do it, which I command thee this day, to love Jehovah thy God, and to walk ever in his ways, then shall thou add three more cities for thee, besides these three,
(raha hitandrina ianao ka hanaraka izao lalàna rehetra izao, izay andidiako anao anio, ka ho tia an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, ary handeha mandrakariva amin’ ny lalany), dia hampianao tanàna telo koa ireny telo ireny;
10 that innocent blood not be shed in the midst of thy land, which Jehovah thy God gives thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.
mba tsy hisy rà marina alatsaka eo amin’ ny taninao, izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao ho lovanao, ka tsy ho meloka amin’ ny rà ianao.
11 But if any man hates his neighbor, and lies in wait for him, and rises up against him, and smites him mortally so that he dies, and he flees into one of these cities,
Fa raha misy olona mankahala ny namany ka manotrika azy, ary mitsangana ka mamely mahafaty azy, ary mandositra ho ao amin’ ny anankiray amin’ ireo tanàna ireo,
12 then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him from there, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
ny loholona amin’ ny tanànany dia haniraka haka azy ao, dia hanolotra azy eo an-tànan’ ny mpamaly rà, mba hovonoiny ho faty izy.
13 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shall put away the innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
Tsy hiantra azy ny masonao; fa hesorinao tsy ho eo amin’ ny Isiraely ny heloka ny amin’ ny rà marina, mba hahita soa ianao.
14 Thou shall not remove thy neighbor's landmark, which they of old time have set, in thine inheritance which thou shall inherit, in the land that Jehovah thy God gives thee to possess it.
Aza mamindra ny fari-tanin’ ny namanao, izay efa vitan’ ny razana teo amin’ ny zara-taninao, izay azonao eo amin’ ny tany izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao holovanao.
15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sins. At the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall a matter be established.
Raha vavolombelona iray monja, dia aoka tsy hitsangana hiampanga olona ny amin’ izay heloka na ota nataony na inona na inona; fa amin’ ny tenin’ ny vavolombelona roa na telo no hanorenana mafy ny teny.
16 If an unrighteous witness rises up against any man to testify against him of wrong-doing,
Raha misy vavolombelona mampidi-doza mitsangana hiampanga olona ho nanao ratsy,
17 then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges that shall be in those days,
dia hitsangana eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izy roa lahy izay miady, dia eo anatrehan’ ny mpisorona sy ny mpitsara amin’ izany andro izany;
18 and the judges shall make diligent inquiry. And, behold, if the witness is a false witness, and has testified falsely against his brother,
ary raha hadinin’ ny mpitsara mafy izy ka hitany fa vavolombelona mandainga, fa miampanga lainga ny namany,
19 then ye shall do to him, as he had thought to do to his brother. So shall thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.
dia araka izay nokasainy hatao amin’ ny namany no hataonareo aminy; ka dia hofongoranao tsy ho eo aminao ny fanao ratsy.
20 And those who remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil in the midst of thee.
Ary ny olona sisa dia handre izany ka hatahotra ary tsy hanao araka izany ratsy izany eo aminao intsony.
21 And thine eyes shall not pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Dia tsy hiantra azy ny masonao; fa aina no hataonao solon’ ny aina, maso solon’ ny maso, nify solon’ ny nify, tanana solon’ ny tanana, tongotra solon’ ny tongotra.
