Deuteronomy 17
1 Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God an ox, or a sheep, wherein is a blemish, even any evil thing; for that is an abomination unto 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 If there be found in the midst of thee, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that doeth that which is evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing 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 and hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have commanded not;
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 it be told thee, and thou hear it, then shalt thou inquire diligently, and, behold, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought 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 then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, who have done this evil thing, unto thy gates, even the man or the woman; and thou shalt stone them with stones, that they die.
dia avoahy ho eo am-bavahadinao izay lehilahy na vehivavy efa nanao izany zava-dratsy izany, ka torahy vato ho faty.
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
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 hand of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So thou shalt put away the evil from 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 there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, even matters of controversy within thy gates; then shalt thou arise, and get thee up unto 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 shall come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days; and thou shalt inquire; and they shall declare unto thee the sentence of 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 according to the tenor of the sentence, which they shall declare unto thee from that place which the LORD shall choose; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that 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 the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do; thou shalt not turn aside from the sentence which they shall declare unto thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.
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 And the man that doeth presumptuously, in not hearkening unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die; and thou shalt exterminate 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 shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
Ary ny vahoaka rehetra handre, dia hatahotra ka tsy hiavonavona intsony.
14 When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein; and shalt say: 'I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are round about me';
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 in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose; one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee; thou mayest not put a foreigner over thee, who 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 Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses; forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you: 'Ye shall henceforth return no more that 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 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away; neither shall he greatly multiply to himself 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 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the priests the Levites.
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 it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;
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 that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left; to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the midst of 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.
