Deuteronomy 25
1 If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgment and the judges judge them, then they shall justify the righteous and condemn the wicked.
Naho mifandietse t’indaty roe naho miatre-jaka hizakà’ o mpizakao, le mañatò ty to iereo vaho mañozoñe ty nanao raty,
2 It shall be, if the wicked man is worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down and to be beaten before his face, according to his wickedness, by number.
ie amy zao naho mañeva lafaeñe i nanao ratiy le hampibabohe’ i mpizakay añatrefa’e vaho ho lafaeñe ami’ty hamaro’e mañeva i haratiañey.
3 He may sentence him to no more than forty stripes. He shall not give more, lest if he should give more and beat him more than that many stripes, then your brother will be degraded in your sight.
Mete ho lafae’e in-efapolo fa tsy handikoarañe hera, ie mandafa mandikoatse i somoritse rezay le ho po-engeñe am-pihaino’o i longo’oy.
4 You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
Ko feoze’o ty añombe mandisañe.
5 If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger. Her husband’s brother shall go in to her, and take her as his wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her.
Naho mitraok’ anjomba ty mpiroahalahy, vaho vilasy tsy aman-tiry ty raike, le tsy hengaen-dahy alafen-dongo’e i ramavoiñey. I rahalahim-bali’ey ty hañenga aze ho vali’e hañenefa’e i lilin-drahalahim-bali’ey.
6 It shall be that the firstborn whom she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name not be blotted out of Israel.
Ie amy zao, hatao amy tahinan-drahalahi’e nivilasiy ty tañoloñoloñan’ ana’e soa tsy ho faoheñe am’ Israele i tahina’ey.
7 If the man does not want to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate to the elders, and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to raise up to his brother a name in Israel. He will not perform the duty of a husband’s brother to me.”
Aa naho malaiñe tsy te hañenga ty ramavoin-drahalahi’e indatiy, le soa re te hionjoñe mb’an-dalambey mb’ amo androanavio mb’eo i valin-drahalahi’ey hanao ty hoe, Mifoneñe tsy hañonjoñe ty tahinan-drahalahi’e am’ Israele ao i rahalahim-balikoy; tsy mete hanoe’e amako i lilim-balin-drahalahiy.
8 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him. If he stands and says, “I do not want to take her,”
Le hikanjia’ o roandria’ i rovaio, vaho hisaontsiañe, f’ie mitoky ami’ty hoe, Tsy te hangalak’ aze iraho;
9 then his brother’s wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his sandal from off his foot, and spit in his face. She shall answer and say, “So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother’s house.”
le hiheo ama’e añatrefa’ o androanavio i ramavoin-drahalahi’ey le hafaha’e am-pandia’ indatiy i hana’ey le handrorà’e ty lahara’e, vaho hitsey ty hoe: Zao ty hanoañe t’indaty tsy mamboatse i akiban-drahalahi’ey.
10 His name shall be called in Israel, “The house of him who had his sandal removed.”
Le hatao ty hoe: Ty kijà’ i nañafahan-kànay re e Israele ao.
11 When men strive against each other, and the wife of one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him who strikes him, and puts out her hand, and grabs him by his private parts,
Naho mifangatotse t’indaty roe naho harinè’ ty vali’ ty raike hamotsora’e am-pità’ i mamofokey i vali’ey, vaho mañity tañañe mandrambe o tabiri’eo,
12 then you shall cut off her hand. Your eye shall have no pity.
le ho tampahe’o ty taña’e, fa tsy ho tretrezem-pihaino’o.
13 You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, one heavy and one light.
Ao tsy hanam-bato-pandanja tsy mira an-kontra’o ao: ty bey naho ty kede.
14 You shall not have in your house diverse measures, one large and one small.
Ko mampisy fañaranañe tsy mira añ’akiba’o ao: ty bey naho ty kede.
15 You shall have a perfect and just weight. You shall have a perfect and just measure, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
Vato-pandanjàñe do’e naho mahity vaho fañaranañe do’e naho vantañe ty ho ama’o, soa t’ie ho lava haveloñe an-tane atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo.
16 For all who do such things, all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD your God.
Toe tiva am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ze manao irezay, ze fonga mitolon-katsivokarañe.
17 Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came out of Egypt,
Tiahio i nanoe’ i Amalek’ azo amy lia’o niavotse i Mitsraimeiy,
18 how he met you by the way, and struck the rearmost of you, all who were feeble behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he did not fear God.
ie nifanampe ama’o an-dalañe eo naho nandafa o nitakatrotse ama’oo, o tam-boli’oo, ihe nidazidazìtse naho nitoirañe; ie tsy nañeveñe aman’ Añahare.
19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies all around, in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky. You shall not forget.
Aa ie nampitofà’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o amo fonga rafelahi’o mañohok’ azoo an-tane nampandovae’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo ho tavane’o le ho faopaohe’o ambane’ i likerañey ty faniahiañe i Amaleke; ko andikofa’o.
