< Deuteronomy 21 >
1 Someone may be found murdered, lying in a field in the country that the Lord your God is giving you to own, and nobody knows who killed them.
Tí a bá rí ọkùnrin tí a pa, ní ìdùbúlẹ̀ ní pápá nínú ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ń fún ọ láti jogún, tí a kò sì mọ ẹni tí ó pa á,
2 Your elders and judges must come and measure the distance from the body to the surrounding towns.
àwọn àgbàgbà yín yóò jáde lọ láti wọn jíjìnnà ibi òkú sí ìlú tí ó wà nítòsí.
3 Then the elders of the town that's found to be nearest to the body shall take a cow that has never been put under a yoke or used for work.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn àgbàgbà ìlú tí ó wà nítòsí òkú yóò mú ẹgbọrọ abo màlúù tí kò ì ṣiṣẹ́ rí àti tí kò sì fà nínú àjàgà rí,
4 Take the cow to a valley that has a stream running through it and whose ground has never been plowed or sown. Break the cow's neck there beside the stream.
kí àwọn àgbàgbà ìlú náà kí wọn mú ẹgbọrọ abo màlúù náà sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá sí àfonífojì tí ó ní omi ṣíṣàn kan, tí a kò ro, tí a kò sì gbìn, kí wọn kí ó sì ṣẹ́ ọrùn ẹgbọrọ màlúù náà níbẹ̀ ní àfonífojì náà.
5 The Levitical priests must be there too, because the Lord your God has chosen them to serve him and to give blessings in his name, and to decide on legal disputes and cases of assault.
Àwọn àlùfáà, ọmọ Lefi yóò wá síwájú, nítorí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ti yàn wọ́n láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún un àti láti bùkún ní orúkọ Olúwa àti láti parí gbogbo ẹjọ́ àríyànjiyàn àti ọ̀rọ̀ ìlú.
6 Then all the elders of the town nearest the body are to wash their hands in the stream over the dead cow, saying,
Nígbà náà ni gbogbo àwọn àgbàgbà ìlú tí ó wà nítòsí yóò wẹ ọwọ́ wọn lórí ẹgbọrọ abo màlúù tí a ti kan ọrùn rẹ̀ ní àfonífojì,
7 “We had nothing to do with this murder, and we didn't see who did it.
wọn yóò sì sọ pé, “Ọwọ́ wa kò ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ yìí sílẹ̀, tàbí kí ojú wa rí i ní títa sílẹ̀.”
8 Lord, please forgive your people Israel who you rescued, and do not hold them guilty of shedding of innocent blood In this way the guilt for shedding blood will be forgiven.”
Dáríjì, Olúwa, àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ni Israẹli, tí ìwọ ti dá sílẹ̀, àti kí ìwọ má ṣe gba ẹ̀bi ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìṣẹ̀ ní àárín àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ní Israẹli. Ṣùgbọ́n kí a dárí ẹ̀bi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yìí jì.
9 This is how you are to remove from yourselves the guilt of shedding innocent blood, since you have done what is right in the Lord's sight.
Nígbà náà ni ìwọ wẹ̀ kúrò láàrín rẹ ẹ̀bi títa ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìṣẹ̀ sílẹ̀, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí o ti ṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ níwájú Olúwa.
10 When you go to war with your enemies and the Lord your God hands them over to you in defeat, and you capture them,
Nígbà tí o bá lọ sí ogun sí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ sì fi wọ́n lé ọ lọ́wọ́ tí o sì mú àwọn ìgbèkùn,
11 you may see that one of them is a beautiful woman who you like and want to marry.
tí o sì rí obìnrin tí ó dára lára àwọn ìgbèkùn, tí o sì ní ìfẹ́ sí i, o lè mu u gẹ́gẹ́ bí aya à rẹ.
12 Take her home and have her shave her head, cut her nails,
Mú u wá sí ilé e rẹ kí o sì jẹ́ kí ó fá irun orí rẹ̀, gé èékánná an rẹ̀,
13 and get rid of the clothes she was wearing when she was captured. After she has lived in your home and has finished her month of mourning for her father and mother, you may sleep with her and marry her, and she shall be your wife.
kí o sì mú aṣọ tí ó wọ̀ nígbà tí ó di ìgbèkùn sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ kan. Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti ń gbé ilé rẹ tí ó sì ti ṣọ̀fọ̀ baba àti ìyá rẹ̀ fún odidi oṣù kan, nígbà náà ni o lè tọ̀ ọ́ lọ kí o sì ṣe ọkọ rẹ̀ kí ó jẹ́ aya rẹ.
14 However, if you are not happy with her, you must let her leave and go wherever she wants. You are not allowed to sell her for money or treat her like a slave, because you have brought shame on her.
Bí inú rẹ̀ kò bá sì dùn sí i, jẹ́ kí ó lọ sí ibikíbi tí ó bá fẹ́. O kò gbọdọ̀ tà á tàbí lò ó bí ẹrú, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí o ti dójútì í.
15 If a man has two wives, one he loves and one he doesn't, and both have sons by him, but the firstborn son is from the wife he doesn't love,
Bí ọkùnrin kan bá ní ìyàwó méjì, tí ó sì fẹ́ ọ̀kan ṣùgbọ́n tí kò fẹ́ èkejì, tí àwọn méjèèjì sì bí àwọn ọmọkùnrin fún un ṣùgbọ́n tí àkọ́bí jẹ́ ọmọ ìyàwó rẹ̀ tí kò fẹ́ràn.
16 when the time comes for the man to decide what each son will inherit from him, he must not prefer the son of wife he loves and treat him as the firstborn instead of the son of the wife he doesn't love.
Nígbà tí ó bá ń pín ohun ìní rẹ̀ fún àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, kò gbọdọ̀ fi ẹ̀tọ́ àkọ́bí fún ọmọ ìyàwó tí kò fẹ́ràn.
17 No. He is to recognize the firstborn, the son of the wife he doesn't love through the usual custom of giving him a double portion of all that he owns. The firstborn son is the firstfruits of his father's strength, and so the rights of the firstborn are his.
Ó ní láti fi ipò ọmọ ìyàwó rẹ̀ tí kò fẹ́ràn fun un gẹ́gẹ́ bí àkọ́bí i rẹ̀ nípa fífún un ní ìlọ́po ìpín gbogbo ohun tí ó ní. Ọmọ yẹn ni àmì àkọ́kọ́ agbára baba rẹ̀. Ẹ̀tọ́ àkọ́bí jẹ́ tirẹ̀.
18 If someone has a obstinate and rebellious son who doesn't obey his parents and doesn't obey them even when he's punished,
Bí ọkùnrin kan bá ní aláìgbọ́ràn tàbí ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ọmọ tí kò gbọ́rọ̀ sí baba àti ìyá rẹ̀ tí kò sì ní í gbà tí wọ́n bá ń bá a wí,
19 his parents must take him to the town elders, to the court in his hometown,
baba àti ìyá rẹ̀ yóò gbá a mú, wọn yóò mu wá fún àwọn àgbàgbà ní ẹnu-bodè ìlú u rẹ̀.
20 and tell them, “Our son is obstinate and rebellious, He doesn't obey us. He's a worthless drunk!”
Wọn yóò sì wí fún àwọn àgbàgbà pé, “Ọmọ wa yìí jẹ́ aláìgbọ́ràn àti ọlọ̀tẹ̀. Kò ní gbọ́rọ̀ sí wa lẹ́nu. Ọ̀jẹun àti ọ̀mùtípara ni.”
21 Then all the men of his home town will stone him to death. You must eliminate the evil from among you, and every Israelite will hear about it and be afraid.
Nígbà náà ni gbogbo ọkùnrin ìlú rẹ̀ yóò sọ ọ́ ní òkúta pa. Ìwọ yóò sì mú ìwà ibi kúrò láàrín yín, gbogbo Israẹli yóò gbọ́, ẹ̀rù yóò sì bà wọ́n.
22 If someone commits a crime punishable by death, and the person is executed by hanging on a tree,
Bí ọkùnrin kan tí ó jẹ̀bi ẹ̀sùn bá ní láti kú tí ó sì kú, tí a sì gbé òkú rẹ̀ kọ́ sára igi,
23 don't leave the body hanging there overnight. Make sure you bury the body the same day, because anyone who is hung is under God's curse. Don't defile the country that the Lord your God is giving you to own.
o kò gbọdọ̀ fi òkú rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ sára igi ní gbogbo òru. Gbìyànjú láti sin ín ní ọjọ́ náà gan an, nítorí ẹni tí a bá gbé kọ́ sórí igi wà lábẹ́ ègún Ọlọ́run. Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ba ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ fún ọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ogún jẹ́.
