Deuteronomy 19
1 And when the Lord your God shall have destroyed the nations, which God gives you, [even] the land, and you shall inherit 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 you shall separate for yourself three cities in the midst of your land, which the Lord your God gives you.
dia manokàna tanàna telo ho anao eo afovoan’ ny taninao, izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao holovana.
3 Take a survey of your way, and you shall divide the coasts of your land, which the Lord your God apportions to you, into three parts, and there shall be there a refuge for every manslayer.
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 shall be the ordinance of the manslayer, who shall flee there, and shall live, whoever shall have struck his neighbour ignorantly, whereas he hated him not in times past.
Ary ny mahafaty olona izay hovelomina, raha mandositra ao, dia ny mahafaty ny namany tsy nahy ka tsy nankahala azy teo aloha
5 And whoever shall enter with his neighbour into the thicket, to gather wood, if the hand of him that cuts wood with the axe should be violently shaken, and the axe head falling off from the handle should light on his neighbour, and he should die, 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 after the slayer, because his heart is hot, and overtake him, if the way be too long, and kill him, though there is to this man no sentence of death, because he hated him not 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 charge you, saying, You shall separate for your self three cities.
Koa izany no andidiako anao hoe: Manokàna tanàna telo ho anao.
8 And if the Lord shall enlarge your borders, as he sware to your fathers, and the Lord shall give to you all the land which he said he would give to your 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 you shall listen to do all these commands, which I charge you this day, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways continually; you shall add for yourself yet three cities to 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 So innocent blood shall not be spilt in the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit, and there shall not be in you one guilty of blood.
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 there should be in you a man hating his neighbour, and he should lay wait for him, and rise up against him, and strike him, that he die, and he should flee to 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 shall the elders of his city send, and take him thence, and they shall deliver him into the hands of the avengers of blood, and he shall 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 Your eye shall not spare him; so shall you purge innocent blood from Israel, and it shall be well with you.
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 You shall not move the landmarks of your neighbour, which your fathers set in the inheritance, in which you have obtained a share in the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit.
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 stand to testify against a man for any iniquity, or for any fault, or for any sin which he may commit; by the mouth of two witnesses, or by the mouth of three witnesses, shall every word 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 And if an unjust witness rise up against a man, alleging iniquity against him;
Raha misy vavolombelona mampidi-doza mitsangana hiampanga olona ho nanao ratsy,
17 then shall the two men between whom the controversy is, stand before the Lord, and before the priests, and before the judges, who may 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 enquiry, and, behold, [if] and unjust witness has borne unjust testimony; [and] has stood up against his brother;
ary raha hadinin’ ny mpitsara mafy izy ka hitany fa vavolombelona mandainga, fa miampanga lainga ny namany,
19 then shall you do to him as he wickedly devised to do against his brother, and you shall remove the evil from yourselves.
dia araka izay nokasainy hatao amin’ ny namany no hataonareo aminy; ka dia hofongoranao tsy ho eo aminao ny fanao ratsy.
20 And the rest shall hear and fear, and do no more according to this evil thing in the midst of you.
Ary ny olona sisa dia handre izany ka hatahotra ary tsy hanao araka izany ratsy izany eo aminao intsony.
21 Your eye shall not spare him: [you shall exact] 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.
