Deuteronomy 17
1 Thou shalt not sacrifice to the Lord thy God a sheep, or an ox, wherein there is blemish, or any fault: for that is an abomination to the Lord thy God.
Aza vonoina hatao fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao izay misy kilema maharatsy azy, na omby na ondry na, fa fahavetavetana eo imason’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ny manao izany.
2 When there shall be found among you within any of thy gates, which the Lord thy God shall give thee, man or woman that do evil in the sight of the Lord thy God, and transgress his covenant,
Raha misy hita ao aminao ao an-tanànanao, izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao, na lehilahy na vehivavy manao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ka mivadika ny fanekeny
3 So as to go and serve strange gods, and adore them, the sun and the moon. and all the host of heaven, which I have not commanded:
ka lasa mandeha manompo andriamani-kafa ary mivavaka aminy na amin’ ny masoandro, na amin’ ny volana, na amin’ ny kintana, izay zavatra efa nandrarako azy,
4 And this is told thee, and hearing it thou hast inquired diligently, and found it to be true, and that the abomination is committed in Israel:
ka voalaza aminao izany, ary efa renao, dia diniho tsara, ka indro, raha nisy marina tokoa izany zavatra izany, ka natao teo amin’ ny Isiraely izany fahavetavetana izany:
5 Thou shalt bring forth the man or the woman, who have committed that most wicked thing, to the gates of thy city, and they shall be stoned.
dia avoahy ho eo am-bavahadinao izay lehilahy na vehivavy efa nanao izany zava-dratsy izany, ka torahy vato ho faty.
6 By the mouth of two or three witnesses shall he die that is to be slain. Let no man be put to death, when only one beareth witness against him.
Amin’ ny tenin’ ny vavolombelona roa na telo no hamonoana izay tokony ho faty; fa ny tenin’ ny vavolombelona iray monja dia tsy hahafaty azy.
7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to kill him, and afterwards the hands of the rest of the people: that thou mayst take away the evil out of the midst of thee.
Ny tanan’ ny vavolombelona no ho voalohany hamono azy, dia vao ny tanan’ ny vahoaka rehetra; ka dia hofongoranao tsy ho eo aminao ny fanao ratsy.
8 If thou perceive that there be among you a hard and doubtful matter in judgment between blood and blood, cause and cause, leprosy and leprosy: and thou see that the words of the judges within thy gates do vary: arise, and go up to the place, which the Lord thy God shall choose.
Raha misy teny sarotra loatra amin’ ny fitsarana ka tsy efanao, na ny amin’ ny mahafaty aina, na ny ady na ny vonoana, izay iadiana ao an-tanànanao, dia miaingà ianao, ka miakara any amin’ ny tany izay hofidin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao.
9 And thou shalt come to the priests of the Levitical race, and to the judge, that shall be at that time: and thou shalt ask of them, and they shall shew thee the truth of the judgment.
ary mankanesa amin’ ireo Levita mpisorona sy amin’ ny anankiray izay mpitsara amin’ izany andro izany, ka manontania, dia hambarany aminao ny teny fitsarana.
10 And thou shalt do whatsoever they shall say, that preside in the place, which the Lord shall choose, and what they shall teach thee,
Ary araho ny teny izay hambarany aminao eo amin’ ny tany izay hofidin’ i Jehovah, ka mitandrema hanao araka izay rehetra hatorony anao.
11 According to his law; and thou shalt follow their sentence: neither shalt thou decline to the right hand nor to the left hand.
Araka ny lalàna izay hatorony anao sy araka ny fitsarana izay holazainy aminao no hataonao; aza mivily miala amin’ ny teny izay hambarany aminao, na ho amin’ ny ankavanana, na ho amin’ ny ankavia.
12 But he that will be proud, and refuse to obey the commandment of the priest, who ministereth at that time to the Lord thy God, and the decree of the judge, that man shall die, and thou shalt take away the evil from Israel:
Fa ny olona izay miavonavona ka tsy mihaino ny mpisorona izay mitsangana hanao fanompoam-pivavahana eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, na ny mpitsara, dia aoka ho faty izany olona izany; ka dia hofongoranao tsy ho eo amin’ ny Isiraely ny fanao ratsy.
13 And all the people hearing it shall fear, that no one afterwards swell with pride.
Ary ny vahoaka rehetra handre, dia hatahotra ka tsy hiavonavona intsony.
14 When thou art come into the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee, and possessest it, and shalt say: I will set a king over me, as all nations have that are round about:
Rehefa tonga any amin’ ny tany izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao ianao ka mandova azy sy monina eo ary manao hoe: Hanangana mpanjaka ho ahy aho, mba ho tahaka ny firenena rehetra izay manodidina ahy,
15 Thou shalt set him whom the Lord thy God shall choose out of the number of thy brethren. Thou mayst not make a man of another nation king, that is not thy brother.
dia izay hofidin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ihany no hatsanganao ho mpanjakanao: anankiray amin’ ny rahalahinao no hatsanganao ho mpanjakanao, fa tsy mahazo mifidy olona hafa firenena izay tsy avy amin’ ny rahalahinao ianao.
16 And when he is made king, he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor lead back the people into Egypt, being lifted up with the number of his horsemen, especially since the Lord hath commanded you to return no more the same way.
Kanefa aoka tsy hanana soavaly maro izy, na hampiverina ny olona ho any Egypta mba hahazoany soavaly maro, satria hoy Jehovah taminareo: Aza miverina amin’ izany lalana izany intsony.
17 He shall not have many wives, that may allure his mind, nor immense sums of silver and gold.
Ary aoka tsy hamporafy maro izy, fandrao hivily ny fony; ary aoka tsy hamory volafotsy na volamena be ho azy izy.
18 But after he is raised to the throne of his kingdom, he shall copy out to himself the Deuteronomy of this law in a volume, taking the copy of the priests of the Levitical tribe,
Ary rehefa mipetraka eo ambonin’ ny sezam-panjakany izy, dia aoka hadikany ho azy amin’ ny boky izao lalàna izao ka hataony araka ilay tehirizin’ ireo Levita mpisorona.
19 And he shall have it with him, and shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, and keep his words and ceremonies, that are commanded in the law;
Ary ho ao aminy izany ka hovakiny amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainany, mba hianarany hatahotra an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny ka hitandrina ny teny rehetra amin’ izao lalàna izao sy ireto didy ireto hankatoavany azy,
20 And that his heart be not lifted up with pride over his brethren, nor decline to the right or to the left, that he and his sons may reign a long time over Israel.
mba tsy hiavonavonan’ ny fony amin’ ny rahalahiny, ary mba tsy hiviliany hiala amin’ ny lalàna, na ho amin’ ny ankavanana, na ho amin’ ny ankavia, mba ho maro andro amin’ ny fanjakany eo amin’ ny Isiraely; izy sy ny taranany.
