Deuteronomy 21
1 If there be found a slain person in the land which the Lord 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 shall thy elders and thy judges go forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about the one 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 the nearest unto the slain person, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer, which hath not been wrought with, which hath not drawn in a 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 tilled nor sown, and they shall break there the neck of the heifer in the valley;

5 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the Lord thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the Lord; and after their decision shall be done [at] every controversy and every injury;
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 who are nearest unto the slain person shall wash their hands over the heifer, the neck of which is broken 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 commence and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, and our eyes have not seen it.
wọn yóò sì sọ pé, “Ọwọ́ wa kò ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ yìí sílẹ̀, tàbí kí ojú wa rí i ní títa sílẹ̀.”
8 Grant pardon unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, O Lord, and lay not innocent blood in the midst of thy people Israel: and the blood shall be forgiven unto 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 And thou shalt put away the [guilt of] the innocent blood from the midst of thee, when thou wilt do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.
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 thy enemies, and the Lord thy God delivereth them into thy hands, and thou takest captives of 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 And thou seest among the captives a woman of handsome form, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldst take her to thee for 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 shalt thou bring her home to thy house; and she shall shave her head, and let grow 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 off the raiment of her captivity from her, and she shall remain in thy house, and weep for her father and her mother a full month; and after that thou mayest go in unto her, and be her husband, that she may become 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 shalt thou let her go whither she will; but thou shalt nowise sell her for money; thou shalt not make a servant 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 the other hated, and they bear him children, both the beloved and the hated; so that the first-born son be hers that is 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 shall it be, when he divideth as inheritance among his sons what he hath, that he shall not institute the son of the beloved as the first-born before the son of the hated, 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 the first-born, the son of the hated woman, shall he acknowledge, to give him a double portion of all that is found in his possession; for he is the beginning of his strength; to him belongeth the right of the first birth.
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, who hearkeneth not to the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and they chastise him, and he 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 hearken to 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; and thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee; and all Israel shall hear, 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 And if a man have committed a sin for which there is a punishment 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 Then shall his body not remain all night on the tree, but thou shalt surely bury him on that day; [for he that is hanged is a dishonor of God; ] and thou shalt not defile thy land, which the Lord 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.
