Deuteronomy 25
1 If there is some legal argument between two people, they are to go to court to have the case judged, in order to justify the one who is right and condemn the one who is wrong.
Naho mifandietse t’indaty roe naho miatre-jaka hizakà’ o mpizakao, le mañatò ty to iereo vaho mañozoñe ty nanao raty,
2 If the person who is guilty is sentenced to be flogged, the judge shall order them to lie down and be flogged before him with the number of lashes the crime deserves.
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 They are not to receive more than forty lashes. More than that would be to publicly humiliate them.
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 Don't muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain.
Ko feoze’o ty añombe mandisañe.
5 When two brothers live near to each other and one of them dies without having a son, the widow is not to marry a stranger outside the family. Her husband's brother is to marry her and sleep with her, fulfilling the requirements of a brother-in-law to provide her with children.
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 The first son she has will be named after the dead brother, so that his name won't be forgotten in Israel.
Ie amy zao, hatao amy tahinan-drahalahi’e nivilasiy ty tañoloñoloñan’ ana’e soa tsy ho faoheñe am’ Israele i tahina’ey.
7 However, if the man refuses to marry his brother's widow, she shall go to the elders at the town gate and tell them, “My husband's brother is refusing to keep his brother's name alive in Israel. He doesn't want to perform the requirements of a brother-in-law for me.”
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 The town elders are to summon him and talk with him. If he continues to refuse and says, “I don't want to marry her,”
Le hikanjia’ o roandria’ i rovaio, vaho hisaontsiañe, f’ie mitoky ami’ty hoe, Tsy te hangalak’ aze iraho;
9 his brother's widow is to confront him in the presence of the elders, pull off his sandal, spit in his face, and announce, “This is what happens to the man who refuses to keep his brother's family name alive.”
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 From then on his family name in Israel will be called “The Family of the Pulled-off Sandal.”
Le hatao ty hoe: Ty kijà’ i nañafahan-kànay re e Israele ao.
11 If two men are fighting, and one of their wives intervenes to save her husband from being beaten, and she grabs hold of the attacker's genitals,
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 you are to cut her hand off. Don't show her any mercy.
le ho tampahe’o ty taña’e, fa tsy ho tretrezem-pihaino’o.
13 Don't have two different measuring weights in your bag, one that's heavy and one that's light.
Ao tsy hanam-bato-pandanja tsy mira an-kontra’o ao: ty bey naho ty kede.
14 Don't have two different measuring containers in your house, one that's large and one that's small.
Ko mampisy fañaranañe tsy mira añ’akiba’o ao: ty bey naho ty kede.
15 Make sure you always use accurate and true weights and measures. In that way you will have long lives in the country the Lord your God is giving you.
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 Anyone who doesn't do so and cheats like this offends the Lord your God.
Toe tiva am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ze manao irezay, ze fonga mitolon-katsivokarañe.
17 Remember what the Amalekites did to you on your way out of Egypt.
Tiahio i nanoe’ i Amalek’ azo amy lia’o niavotse i Mitsraimeiy,
18 The came out to confront you when you were tired and weary from your journey, and they attacked all those of you who were lagging behind. They didn't have any respect for 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 Once the Lord your God gives you peace after fighting your enemies in the country that he's giving you to take over and own, you are to wipe out even the memory of the Amalekites from the earth. Don't forget!
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.
