< Deuteronomy 21 >

1 If one is found slain, lying in a field in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess, and it is not known who killed him,
I NA ma ka aina a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai ia oe, a lilo ia nou, i loaa ka mea i pepehiia e waiho ana ma ke kula, aole i ikeia ka mea nana i pepehi:
2 your elders and judges must come out and measure the distance from the victim to the neighboring cities.
Alaila e hele mai kou poe lunakahiko a me kou poe lunakanawai, a e ana aku lakou a hiki i na kulanakauhale e puni ana i ka mea i pepehiia.
3 Then the elders of the city nearest the victim shall take a heifer that has never been yoked or used for work,
A o ke kulanakauhale kokoke i ka mea i pepehiia, o na lunakahiko o ia kulanakauhale e lawe lakou i ka bipiwahine hou i hoohana ole ia, aole hoi i kauo iloko o ka auamo;
4 bring the heifer to a valley with running water that has not been plowed or sown, and break its neck there by the stream.
A o na lunakahiko o ia kulanakauhale e alakai aku i ka bipiwahine hou ma ke kahawai e kahe mau ana, ma kahi mahi ole ia, aole hoi i luluia, a malaila lakou e oki ai i ke poo o ua bipiwahine la ma ke kahawai:
5 And the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come forward, for the LORD your God has chosen them to serve Him and pronounce blessings in His name and to give a ruling in every dispute and case of assault.
A o na kahuna, na mamo a Levi e hookokoke mai; no ka mea, ua wae mai o Iehova kou Akua ia lakou e lawelawe nana, a e hoomaikai aku ma ka inoa o Iehova, aia no ia lakou ka olelo no na hakaka a me na hahau ana a pau.
6 Then all the elders of the city nearest the victim shall wash their hands by the stream over the heifer whose neck has been broken,
A o na lunakahiko a pau o ke kulanakauhale e kokoke ana i ka mea i pepehiia, e holoi i ko lakou lima maluna o ka bipiwahine i okiia o kona poo ma ke kahawai:
7 and they shall declare, “Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it.
A e olelo mai lakou, e i mai, Aole ko makou lima i hookahe i keia koko, aole hoi i ike ko makou maka.
8 Accept this atonement, O LORD, for Your people Israel whom You have redeemed, and do not hold the shedding of innocent blood against them.” And the bloodshed will be atoned for.
E Iehova, e kala mai i kou poe kanaka, i ka Iseraela au i hoola ai, a mai hoopai i ke koko hala ole maluna o kou poe kanaka o ka Iseraela: a e kalaia ke koko no lakou.
9 So you shall purge from among you the guilt of shedding innocent blood, since you have done what is right in the eyes of the LORD.
A pela e huikala aku ai oe i ke koko hala ole mai ou aku la, no ka mea, ua hana oe i ka pono imua o Iehova.
10 When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hand and you take them captive,
Aia hele aku oe e kaua aku i kou poe enemi, a e hoolilo mai o Iehova kou Akua ia lakou iloko o kou lima, a e lawe pio aku oe ia lakou,
11 if you see a beautiful woman among them, and you desire her and want to take her as your wife,
A ike aku oe i wahine maikai iwaena o ka poe pio, a makemake oe e lawe ia ia i wahine nau;
12 then you shall bring her into your house. She must shave her head, trim her nails,
Alaila e lawe oe ia ia ma kou hale; a e ako iho oia i kona poo, a e oki hoi i kona maiuu;
13 and put aside the clothing of her captivity. After she has lived in your house a full month and mourned her father and mother, you may have relations with her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.
A e waiho aku ia i ka aahu pio mai ona aku la, a e noho ia ma kou hale, a e uwe iho ia i kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine i hookahi malama; a mahope aku e komo aku oe iloko io na la e lilo i kane nana, a e lilo ia i wahine nau.
14 And if you are not pleased with her, you are to let her go wherever she wishes. But you must not sell her for money or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.
A ina aole oe e makemake ia ia, e kuu aku oe ia ia e hele i kona wahi e makemake ai; mai kuai aku oe ia ia no ke kala, aole hoi oe e hoolilo ia ia i waiwai nau, no ka mea, ua hoohaahaa oe ia ia.
15 If a man has two wives, one beloved and the other unloved, and both bear him sons, but the unloved wife has the firstborn son,
Ina elua wahine a kekahi kanaka, ua alohaia kekahi, na aloha ole ia kekahi, a o ka mea alohaia, a me ka mea aloha ole ia i hanau keiki nana: a ina na ka wahine aloha ole ia ka makahiapo;
16 when that man assigns his inheritance to his sons he must not appoint the son of the beloved wife as the firstborn over the son of the unloved wife.
Alaila, i ka manawa e hooili ai oia i kona waiwai i kana mau keikikane, aole ia e haawi i ka ka hanau mua na ke keiki a ka mea alohaia mamua o ke keiki a ka mea aloha ole ia, oia ka hiapo maoli:
17 Instead, he must acknowledge the firstborn, the son of his unloved wife, by giving him a double portion of all that he has. For that son is the firstfruits of his father’s strength; the right of the firstborn belongs to him.
Aka, e hoolilo ia i ke keikikane a ka mea aloha ole ia i hiapo, a e haawi papalua ia ia o kona loaa a pau; no ka mea, oia ka mua o kona ikaika, a nona ka pono o ka hanau mua.
18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and does not listen to them when disciplined,
A o ke kanaka ia ia ke keiki hewa, paakiki, aole e hoolohe i ka leo o kona makuakane, a me ka leo o kona makuwahine, a ia laua i ao aku ai ia ia, aole ia i maliu mai ia laua;
19 his father and mother are to lay hold of him and bring him to the elders of his city, to the gate of his hometown,
Alaila e lalau aku kona makuakane a me kona makuwahine ia ia, a e lawe aku ia ia i na lunakahiko o kona kulanakauhale, a i ka ipuka o kona wahi:
20 and say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he does not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.”
A e olelo aku i na lunakahiko o kona kulanakauhale, Ua hewa, a ua paakiki keia keiki a maua, aole ia i hoolohe i ko maua leo, ua pakela ai, a ua ona.
21 Then all the men of his city will stone him to death. So you must purge the evil from among you, and all Israel will hear and be afraid.
A o na kanaka a pau o kona kulanakauhale e hailuku ia ia i ka pohaku e make ia; a e lawe aku oe i ka hewa mai ou aku la; a e hoolohe ka Iseraela a pau a e makau hoi.
22 If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is executed, and you hang his body on a tree,
Ina e hana hewa kekahi kanaka e pono ai ke make, a e pepehiia oia, a e kau aku oe ia ia maluna o ka laau;
23 you must not leave the body on the tree overnight, but you must be sure to bury him that day, because anyone who is hung on a tree is under God’s curse. You must not defile the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
Aole e waiho i kona kino a ao ka po maluna o ka laau, aka, e kanu no ia ia ia la, (no ka mea, ua hoinoia e ke Akua ka mea i kaulia, ) i haumia ole ai kou aina a Iehova kou Akua i haawi lilo mai ai i wahi e noho ai nou.
