Deuteronomy 25
1 If there be a controversy between men, and they resort to judgment, and they judge [their case]; 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 And it shall be if the wicked man have deserved to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and be beaten before his face, according to the measure of his wickedness with a certain number [of stripes].
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 With forty [stripes] shall they beat him; they shall not exceed, lest, if they continue to beat him with many stripes above these, thy brother become despicable in thine eyes.
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 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out [the corn].
Ko feoze’o ty añombe mandisañe.
5 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not marry a stranger abroad: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him as wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto 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 And it shall be, that the firstborn that she beareth shall stand in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name be not blotted out from Israel.
Ie amy zao, hatao amy tahinan-drahalahi’e nivilasiy ty tañoloñoloñan’ ana’e soa tsy ho faoheñe am’ Israele i tahina’ey.
7 But if the man like not to take his brother's wife, his brother's wife shall go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel: he will not perform for me the duty of a husband's brother.
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 unto him; and if he stand to it and say, I like not to take her;
Le hikanjia’ o roandria’ i rovaio, vaho hisaontsiañe, f’ie mitoky ami’ty hoe, Tsy te hangalak’ aze iraho;
9 then shall his brother's wife come near to him before the eyes of the elders, and draw his sandal from his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto the man that will 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 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe drawn off.
Le hatao ty hoe: Ty kijà’ i nañafahan-kànay re e Israele ao.
11 When men fight together one with another, and the wife of the one come near to rescue her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and stretch out her hand, and seize him by his secret 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 thou shalt cut off her hand; thine eye shall not spare.
le ho tampahe’o ty taña’e, fa tsy ho tretrezem-pihaino’o.
13 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.
Ao tsy hanam-bato-pandanja tsy mira an-kontra’o ao: ty bey naho ty kede.
14 Thou shalt not have in thy house divers ephahs, a great and a small.
Ko mampisy fañaranañe tsy mira añ’akiba’o ao: ty bey naho ty kede.
15 A perfect and just weight shalt thou have; a perfect and just ephah shalt thou have; that thy days may be prolonged in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee.
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 every one that doeth such things, every one that doeth unrighteousness, is an abomination to Jehovah thy God.
Toe tiva am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ze manao irezay, ze fonga mitolon-katsivokarañe.
17 Remember what Amalek did unto thee on the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt;
Tiahio i nanoe’ i Amalek’ azo amy lia’o niavotse i Mitsraimeiy,
18 how he met thee on the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all the feeble that lagged behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary, and he feared not 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 And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God shall have given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens; thou shalt not forget it.
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.
