Deuteronomy 21
1 If one be found slain in the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who has slain him:
Raha tahìny misy maty novonoin’ olona hita miampatra any an-tsaha amin’ ny tany izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao holovana, ary tsy fantatra izay nahafaty azy,
2 Then your elders and your judges shall come forth, and they shall measure to the cities which are round about him that is slain:
dia hivoaka ny loholonao sy ny mpitsaranao ka horefesiny hatreo amin’ ny faty ka hatramin’ izay tanàna manodidina azy.
3 And it shall be, that the city which is next to the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which has not been worked with, and which has not drawn in the yoke;
Ary ny loholona amin’ ny tanàna izay akaikin’ ny faty indrindra dia haka ombivavy kely izay tsy mbola nampiasaina na nasiana zioga hitarihany.
4 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer to a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer’s neck there in the valley:
Ary ilay ombivavy kely dia ho entin’ ny loholona amin’ izany tanàna izany midìna any amin’ izay lohasaha tsy voasa na voafafy sady misy renirano tsy mety ritra, dia hofolahiny any an-dohasaha ny vozony.
5 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried:
Ary ireo mpisorona, taranak’ i Levy, dia hanatona, fa izy no nofidin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao hanao fanompoam-pivavahana aminy sy hitso-drano amin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah; koa araka ny teniny no hanefana ny ady rehetra sy ny vonoana rehetra;
6 And all the elders of that city, that are next to the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
ary ny loholona rehetra amin’ izany tanàna akaikin’ ny faty izany dia hanasa ny tànany eo ambonin’ ilay ombivavy kely izay efa voafolaka tany an-dohasaha ny vozony;
7 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
dia hiloa-bava ireo ka hanao hoe: Tsy ny tananay no nandatsaka ity rà ity, sady tsy nahita izany ny masonay.
8 Be merciful, O LORD, to your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and lay not innocent blood to your people of Israel’s charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
Jehovah ô, mamelà ny heloky ny Isiraely olonao izay navotanao ka aza atao ho heloky ny Isiraely olonao ny rà marina! Dia ho afa-keloka ny amin’ izany rà izany izy.
9 So shall you put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when you shall do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.
Ka dia hesorinao ho afaka aminao ny rà marina, raha hanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah ianao.
10 When you go forth to war against your enemies, and the LORD your God has delivered them into your hands, and you have taken them captive,
Raha mivoaka hanafika ny fahavalonao ianao, ary atolotr’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao eo an-tananao izy ka voababonao,
11 And see among the captives a beautiful woman, and have a desire to her, that you would have her to your wife;
ary misy vehivavy tsara tarehy hitanao eo amin’ ny babo ka tianao hovadina,
12 Then you shall bring her home to your house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
dia ento ho ao an-tranonao izy, ka asaovy haratany ny lohany sy alàny ny hohony,
13 And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in your house, and mourn her father and her mother a full month: and after that you shall go in to her, and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.
ary asaovy esoriny koa ny fitafiany tamin’ ny nahababo azy, dia aoka hitoetra ao an-tranonao andro iray volana izy hitomany ny ray aman-dreniny; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia vao mahazo mandry aminy ianao ka ho tompom-bady azy, ary ho vadinao izy.
14 And it shall be, if you have no delight in her, then you shall let her go where she will; but you shall not sell her at all for money, you shall not make merchandise of her, because you have humbled her.
Fa raha tsy tianao intsony ravehivavy, dia alefaso handeha araka izay sitrapony izy: fa aza mivarotra azy hatao vola aman-karena na manandevo azy, satria efa nampietry azy ianao.
15 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:
Raha misy lehilahy mamporafy, ka ny anankiray tiany, fa ny anankiray kosa tsy tiany, ary samy miteraka zaza aminy izy roa vavy, na ny tiany na ny tsy tiany, ary zanak’ ilay tsy tiany no lahimatoa:
16 Then it shall be, when he makes his sons to inherit that which he has, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:
amin’ ny andro handidiany fananana ho an’ ny zananilahy dia tsy azo hatao lahimatoa ny zanaky ny tiany, raha mbola eo ihany ny zanaky ny tsy tiany, izay tena lahimatoany;
17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he has: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.
fa ny lahimatoa, zanak’ ilay tsy tiany ihany, no hekeny ka homeny anjaran-droa amin’ izay rehetra ananany; fa voalohan’ ainy izy, ka azy ny fizokiana.
18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not listen to them:
Raha misy olona manana zanakalahy maditra sy manohitra ka tsy mety mihaino ny feon’ ny rainy, na ny feon’ ny reniny, ka tsy zakany anarina,
19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his place;
dia hosamborin’ ny rainy sy ny reniny izy ka ho entiny amin’ ny loholona amin’ ny tanànany, eo amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny tanàna onenany,
20 And they shall say to the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
dia hiteny amin’ ny loholona amin’ ny tanànany izy mivady hoe: Ity zanakay ity dia maditra sy manohitra ka tsy mihaino ny feonay, fa mpandany sy fileony.
21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shall you put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
Dia hitora-bato azy ho faty ny mponina rehetra ao an-tanànany; ka dia hofongoranao tsy ho eo aminao ny fanao ratsy; ary ny Isiraely rehetra dia handre izany ka hatahotra.
22 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and you hang him on a tree:
Ary raha misy olona manao fahotana izay tokony hahafaty azy ka atao maty ary ahantona amin’ ny hazo.
23 His body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God; ) that your land be not defiled, which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.
dia tsy havela hiloaka alina eo amin’ ny hazo ny fatiny, fa tsy maintsy halevinao androtr’ iny ihany izy (fa voaozon’ Andriamanitra ny mihantona amin’ ny hazo); koa aza lotoina ny taninao, izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao ho lovanao.
