Exodus 23
1 Thou shalt not accept a false report; extend not thy hand to the wicked, to be an unrighteous witness.
Aza manangan-tsaho foana. Aza mifandray tanana amin’ ny ratsy fanahy ho vavolombelona mampidi-doza.
2 Thou shalt not follow the multitude for evil; neither shalt thou answer in a cause, to go after the multitude to pervert [judgment].
Aza manaraka ny maro hanao ratsy; ary aza mamaly ny amin’ ny adin’ olona hivily hanaraka ny maro hamadika ny rariny.
3 Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in his cause.
Aza mandravaka ny tenin’ ny malahelo eo amin’ ny fandaharan-teniny ianao.
4 — If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt certainly bring it back to him.
Raha hitanao mania ny ombin’ ny fahavalonao, na ny borikiny, dia avereno any aminy mihitsy izany.
5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under its burden, beware of leaving [it] to him: thou shalt certainly loosen [it] with him.
Raha hitanao ny borikin’ izay mankahala anao mihonaka ao ambanin’ ny entany, dia aza malaina hamonjy azy ianao, fa manampia ny namanao hamaha azy tokoa.
6 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
Aza mamily ny rariny izay ananan’ ny malahelo ao aminao, raha manana ady izy.
7 Thou shalt keep far from the cause of falsehood; and the innocent and righteous slay not; for I will not justify the wicked.
Manalavira izay teny lainga, ary aza mamono izay tsy manan-tsiny sy izay marina ianao; fa tsy hanamarina ny meloka Aho.
8 And thou shalt take no bribe; for the bribe blindeth those whose eyes are open, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
Ary aza mandray kolikoly, fa ny kolikoly mahajamba ny mason’ ny mahiratra sy mamadika ny tenin’ ny marina.
9 And the stranger thou shalt not oppress; for ye know the spirit of the stranger, for ye have been strangers in the land of Egypt.
Ary aza mampahory vahiny, fa ianareo mahalala ny fon’ ny vahiny, satria efa mba vahiny tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ihany ianareo.
10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and gather in its produce;
Ary enin-taona no hamafazanao amin’ ny taninao sy hanangonanao ny vokatra;
11 but in the seventh thou shalt let it rest and lie [fallow], that the poor of thy people may eat [of it]; and what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thine olive-tree.
fa amin’ ny taona fahafito kosa dia hatsahatrao tsy hovolena izy, mba hisy hohanin’ ny malahelo amin’ ny firenenao; ary izay sisan’ ireo dia mba hohanin’ ny biby any an-tsaha kosa. Toy izany koa no hataonao amin’ ny tanim-boalobokao sy amin’ ny tanin’ olivanao.
12 — Six days thou shalt do thy work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest; that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger may be refreshed.
Henemana no hanaovanao ny raharahanao; fa amin’ ny andro fahafito dia hitsahatra ianao, mba hialan’ ny ombinao sy ny borikinao sasatra, ary mba hakan’ ny zanaky ny ankizivavinao sy ny vahiny aina.
13 And ye shall be on your guard as to everything that I have said unto you; and shall make no mention of the name of other gods — it shall not be heard in thy mouth.
Ary tandremo izay rehetra nolazaiko taminareo, ka aza manonona ny anaran’ andriamani-kafa akory ianareo; aza avela ho re avy amin’ ny vavanao izany.
14 Thrice in the year thou shalt celebrate a feast to me.
Intelo isan-kerintaona no hanaovanao andro firavoravoana ho Ahy.
15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread, (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I have commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt; and none shall appear in my presence empty; )
Tandremo ny andro firavoravoana fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira; hafitoana no hihinananao ny mofo tsy misy masirasira, araka izay nandidiako anao, amin’ ny fotoan’ andro amin’ ny volana Abiba, fa tamin’ izany no nivoahanao avy tany Egypta; ary aoka tsy hisy hiseho foana tsy mitondra fanatitra eo anatrehako.
16 and the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labours which thou hast sown in the field, and the feast of in-gathering, at the end of the year, when thou gatherest in thy labours out of the field.
Ary tandremo koa ny andro firavoravoana amin’ ny fijinjana ny voaloham-bokatry ny asanao, izay nafafinao tany an-tsaha, sy ny andro firavoravoana amin’ ny fanangonana amin’ ny faran’ ny taona, raha manangona ny vokatry ny asanao avy any an-tsaha ianao.
17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear in the presence of the Lord Jehovah.
Dia intelo isan-kerintaona no hisehoan’ ny lehilahy rehetra aminareo eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Tompo.
18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning.
Aza manatitra ny ran’ ny zavatra vonoina hatao fanatitra ho Ahy ianao, raha mbola misy masirasira ao aminao; ary aza avela ho tra-maraina ny saboran’ ny zavatra vonoina amin’ ny andro firavoravoana ho Ahy.
19 The first of the first-fruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
Ny santatry ny voaloham-bokatry ny taninao dia ho entinao ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao. Aza mahandro zanak’ osy amin’ ny rononon-dreniny.
20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee to the place that I have prepared.
Indro, Izaho maniraka Anjely eo alohanao hiaro anao any an-dalana sy hitondra anao ho any amin’ ny fitoerana izay namboariko.
21 Be careful in his presence, and hearken unto his voice: do not provoke him, for he will not forgive your transgressions; for my name is in him.
Mitandrema eo anatrehany, ka mihainoa ny feony, ary aza mampahatezitra Azy; fa tsy hamela ny fahotanareo Izy; fa ny anarako no ao aminy.
22 But if thou shalt diligently hearken unto his voice, and do all that I shall say, then I will be an enemy to thine enemies, and an adversary to thine adversaries.
Fa raha hihaino ny feony tokoa ianao ka hanao izay rehetra lazaiko, dia ho fahavalon’ ny fahavalonao sy ho rafin’ ny rafinao Aho.
23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will cut them off.
Fa handeha eo alohanao ny Anjeliko ka hitondra anao any amin’ ny Amorita sy ny Hetita sy ny Perizita sy ny Kananita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita; ary dia hofongorako ireny,
24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their deeds; but thou shalt utterly destroy them, and utterly shatter their statues.
Aza miankohoka eo anatrehan’ ny andriamanitr’ ireny ianao, na manompo azy, na manao araka ny ataony; fa aringano tokoa izy, ary torotoroy tokoa ny tsangam-baton-tsampiny.
25 And ye shall serve Jehovah your God; and he shall bless thy bread and thy water; and I will take sickness away from thy midst.
Fa manompoa an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, dia hitahy ny haninao sy ny ranonao Izy; ary hesoriko aminao ny aretina.
26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land; the number of thy days will I fulfil.
Tsy hisy ho afa-jaza na ho momba ao amin’ ny taninao; hotanterahiko ny isan’ ny andronao.
27 I will send my fear before thee, and confound every people to which thou comest, and will make all thine enemies turn their back to thee.
Hampandeha ny fahatahorana Ahy eo alohanao Aho ka hampifanaritaka ny firenena rehetra izay alehanao, ary hampiamboho ny fahavalonao rehetra anao Aho.
28 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
Ary hampandeha fanenitra eo alohanao Aho, ka handroaka ny Hivita sy ny Kananita ary ny Hetita eo alohanao ireny.
29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year: lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.
Tsy handroaka azy eo alohanao amin’ ny taona iray Aho, fandrao ho lao ny tany, ka hihamaro hamely anao ny bibi-dia.
30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou art fruitful, and possess the land.
Tsikelikely no handroahako azy eo alohanao mandra-pahamaronao ka handova ny tany.
31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto the river; for I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, that thou mayest dispossess them from before thee.
Ary hatramin’ ny Ranomasina Mena ka hatramin’ ny ranomasin’ ny Filistina no hataoko fari-taninao, ary hatramin’ ny efitra ka hatramin’ ny Ony; fa hanolotra ny mponina amin’ ny tany ho eo an-tananareo Aho; ary handroaka azy eo alohanao ianao.
32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
Aza manao fanekena aminy na amin’ ny andriamaniny ianao.
33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me; for if thou serve their gods, it is sure to be a snare unto thee.
Tsy honina eo amin’ ny taninao ireny, fandrao hampanota anao amiko; fa raha manompo ny andriamaniny ianao, dia ho fandrika aminao tokoa izany,
