Deuteronomy 21
1 If one be found slain in the land which Yhwh thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him:
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 Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain:
àwọn àgbàgbà yín yóò jáde lọ láti wọn jíjìnnà ibi òkú sí ìlú tí ó wà nítòsí.
3 And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke;
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 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer’s neck there in the valley:
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 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them Yhwh thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of Yhwh; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried:
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 And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
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 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
wọn yóò sì sọ pé, “Ọwọ́ wa kò ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ yìí sílẹ̀, tàbí kí ojú wa rí i ní títa sílẹ̀.”
8 Be merciful, O Yhwh, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel’s charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
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 So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of Yhwh.
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 thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, And Yhwh thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,
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 And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
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 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head, and pare 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 she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy 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 And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled 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 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:
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 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:
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 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is 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 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 hearken unto them:
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 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
baba àti ìyá rẹ̀ yóò gbá a mú, wọn yóò mu wá fún àwọn àgbàgbà ní ẹnu-bodè ìlú u rẹ̀.
20 And they shall say unto 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.
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 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
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 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him 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 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; ( for he that is hanged is accursed of God; ) that thy land be not defiled, which Yhwh thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
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.
