Deuteronomy 19
1 “When your God YHWH cuts off the nations whose land your God YHWH is giving to you, and you have dispossessed them, and dwelt in their cities and in their houses,
Naho fa finongo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o o rofoko nitompo’ i tane hatolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azoio, naho nilimbeze’o vaho mimoneñe amo rova naho anjomba’ iareoo,
2 you separate three cities for yourself in the midst of your land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it.
le aviho ty rova telo añivo’ i tane hatolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ho tavane’oy ao,
3 You prepare the way for yourself, and have divided into three parts the border of your land which your God YHWH causes you to inherit, and it has been for the fleeing there of every manslayer.
le anataho lalañe vaho amaritsoho toetse telo i tane’ hatolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ho lovay; hirombaha’ ze hene namono.
4 And this [is] the matter of the manslayer who flees there, and has lived: he who strikes his neighbor unknowingly, and is not hating him before—
Zao ty am’ondaty mamono naho miherereake mb’eo handrombaha’e aiñeo—ie namono ty marine aze fe tsy nitsatrie’e, vaho tsy nalaim-bintañ’ aze taolo;
5 even he who comes into a forest with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand has driven with an axe to cut the tree, and the iron has slipped from the wood, and has met his neighbor, and he has died—he flees to one of these cities, and has lived,
manahake t’ie mindre lia aman-drañe’e mb’añ’ala ao hampitsera-katae, le ie mañohatse ty feko’e hamira hataey, hera hipitsik’ amy taho’ey i lelam-pekoñey hipaoke i rañe’ey hamono aze. Mete hiborifitse mb’ami’ty raik’ amy rova rey indatiy hiveloma’e,
6 lest the redeemer of blood pursue after the manslayer when his heart is hot and has overtaken him, because the way is great, and has struck his life, and he has no sentence of death, for he is not hating him before;
tsy mone hañoridañe aze an-keloke ty mpamale fate hitsepak’ aze naho loho lavitse i liay, hañohofa’e loza ndra t’ie tsy mañeva havetrake, ie tsy nimpalaiñe aze.
7 therefore I am commanding you, saying, You separate three cities for yourself.
Izay ty andiliako azo ty hoe: Añivaho rova telo ho azo.
8 And if your God YHWH enlarges your border, as He has sworn to your fathers, and has given to you all the land which He has spoken to give to your fathers—
Aa naho itare’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ty fifaritsoha’o amy nitsarae’e aman-droae’oy naho fonga hatolo’e azo i tane nitsarae’e aman-droae’oy,
9 when you keep all this command to do it, which I am commanding you today, to love your God YHWH and to walk in His ways [for] all the days—then you have added three more cities for yourself to these three;
naho ambena’o vaho orihe’o ze hene lily lilieko azo androany—ty hikoko Iehovà Andrianañahare’o naho hañavelo nainai’e amo lala’eo—le ho tovoña’o rova telo ho tokaneñe mandikoatse i telo rey;
10 and [do this] lest innocent blood is shed in the midst of your land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance, and there has been blood on you.
soa tsy hiorik’ an-tane hatolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo ho lova ty lio-màliñe, naho tsy hipetahan-dio irehe.
11 And when a man is hating his neighbor, and has lain in wait for him, and risen against him, and struck his life, and he has died, then he has fled to one of these cities,
Aa naho mone falai’ondaty i marine azey, le voñoñe’e, naho kabohe’e an-keloke le mikenkan-dre vaho tambikovikoe’e an-day ty raik’ amy rova rezay
12 and [the] elderly of his city have sent and taken him from there, and given him into the hand of the redeemer of blood, and he has died;
vaho hampañitrik’ aze o roandria’ i rova’eio le hasese boak’ amy rovay re hatolots’ am-pità’ ty mpamale fate hikenkaña’e.
13 your eye has no pity on him, and you have put away the innocent blood from Israel, and it is well with you.
Ko iferenaiñam-pihaino’o, fa ho fòra’o am’Israele ty lio-maliñe soa te ho tahie’e.
14 You do not remove a border of your neighbor, which they of former times have made, in your inheritance, which you inherit in the land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it.
Ko asinta’o ty fañefen-tanen-dongo’o fa najado’ o ntaoloo an-dova’o eo, i ho fanaña’o an-tane atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo ho tavaneñey.
15 One witness does not rise against a man for any iniquity and for any sin, in any sin which he sins; by the mouth of two witnesses or by the mouth of three witnesses is a thing established.
Tsy hitroatse hanisý ondaty ty mpitalily raike ke tahiñ’ inoñe he hakeo inoñe mete nililare’e. Ty faliem-pitalily telo ndra ty faliem-pitalily roe ty hampijadoñe zaka.
16 When a violent witness rises against a man to testify against him apostasy,
Naho mitroatse hitalily ondaty ami’ ty tsy to ty mpitalily vìlañe,
17 then both of the men who have the strife have stood before YHWH, before the priests and the judges who are in those days,
le songa hijohañe añatrefa’ Iehovà, añatrefa’ o mpisoroñeo naho o mpizaka henane zaio indaty roe mifandietse rey.
18 and the judges have searched diligently, and behold, the witness [is] a false witness who has testified a falsehood against his brother,
Le hañotsohotso o mpizakao, aa naho tendreke te mpitalily vìlañe i mpitaliliy, nitaroñe raha tsy to amy rahalahi’ey,
19 then you have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and you have put away evil out of your midst,
le hanoe’o ama’e ty ho nanoe’e amy rahalahi’ey; izay ty hamongorañe ty hakeo añivo’o ao;
20 and those who are left hear and fear, and do not add to do according to this evil thing in your midst anymore.
le hijanjiñe o ila’eo vaho ho hembañe tsy hanao i tahiñe zay añivo’o ao ka.
21 And your eye does not pity—life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.”
Le ko iferenaiñam-pihaino; fiay ty hasolo fiay, fihaino ty fihaino, famotsy ty famotsy, fitàñe ty fitàñe, fandia ty fandia.
