< Deuteronomy 17 >

1 “Do not sacrifice to Yahweh our God any cattle or sheep or goats that have any defects, because Yahweh hates that kind of gift.”
Hagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofontegama kresramna vuntesazana, kri e'ori afuhe afahe osu'nesia bulimakaono, sipisipio, aheta kresramna vuonteho. Na'ankure kri erino afuhe afuhe'ma hu bulimakaono, sipisipima kresramnama vuntezankura Agrira agoteno avesra nehie.
2 “When you are living in any of the towns [in the land] that Yahweh our God is giving to you, suppose you hear that there is some man or woman who sins by disobeying the agreement that Yahweh has made with you.
Hagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma tamisia rankumapima amu'nontamifinti mago vemo'o, a'mo'ma kefo avu'ava'ma huno, Ra Anumzamo'enema huhagerafi huvempa kema runetagreno,
3 Suppose someone tells you that that person has worshiped and served other gods, or the sun, or the moon, or the stars.
mono huontehoma hu'ne'nua zante'ma vuno havi anumzantero, zagerero, ikantero, monafi hanafitamintero, mono ome huntenia kema,
4 If you hear that some person has been doing that, you must investigate it thoroughly. If [you find out that] it is true that this detestable thing has happened in Israel,
mago'a vahe'mo'ma eme kasami'nigenka, hakenka antahigeso'e hutenka, tamage ana kasri avu'ava'ma Israeli vahe amu'nompima hu'nenkenka,
5 you must take outside the town the man or woman who has done it. Then you must kill that person by throwing stones at him or her.
ana a'ro veo avreta kumamofo kafante havenknonu ome zamahe frinkeno frino.
6 But you are allowed to execute such people only if at least two witnesses testify that they saw them [doing that]. They must not be executed if there is only one witness.
Hagi havi avu'ava'ma nehanigeno tare tagufa vahe'mo'zama kete'zama huama'ma huntesagetage, ahe friho. Hagi magoke vahe'mo'ma keteno huama'ma hania zantera vahera zamahe ofrigahaze.
7 The (witnesses/ones who saw them doing it) must be the first ones to throw stones at them. Then the other people [MTY] [should throw stones at them]. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you.”
Hagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehanigeno ke'nesimo, ese havenknona ana vahetera atretenkeno, anante miko vahe'mo'za havenknona atre'za ahefrigahaze. E'ina hanuta kefo zana amu'notmifintira eri atregahaze.
8 “Sometimes it will be very difficult for a judge to decide what really happened. He might be trying to decide whether, when someone injured or killed another person, he did it accidentally or deliberately. Or he might be trying to decide if some person is suing another person unfairly. If in some town it is very difficult to know what really happened, with the result that the judge cannot decide it, you should go to the place that Yahweh our God has chosen for you [to worship him].
Hagi mago'a ranra knazamofo nanekeo, vahe'ma ahe fri'zamofo nanekeo, vahe'mofo zama eri savri hu'zamofo nanekeo, ha'ma huno keonke'zama eri havizama hu'nesia zante refko huno antahi kemo'ma amuhoma hanigeta, erita ana knazana Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma huhamprinte'nenia kumate viho.
9 There you should present the case to the descendants of Levi who are the priests, and to the judge who is serving at that time, and they should decide what should be done.
Hagi Livae naga'ma pristi eri'zama e'neriza vahetero, kema refko'ma hu kva vahete ana knazana omeriama hinkeno, zamagra naneketmia refko hu'za eri fatgo huramanteho.
10 After they make their decision, you must do what they tell you to do.
Ra Anumzamo'ma hunte'nenia kumate ana nanekema refko hute'za, hazenkemofo avamente e'ina huo huno'ma asami'nia nanekea avariri fatgo hiho.
11 Accept what they have decided, and do what they say that you should do. Do not try to change in any way what they have decided [IDM].
Nanekema refko hute'za, ana hazenkemofo agofetu'ma na'anema hanaza nanekea avariri fatgo hiho. Hagi kva vahe'mo'zama hanaza nanekea ame'a aseta rukamarege, mago'a kea eritregera tamagra tamavesitera osiho.
12 You must execute anyone who proudly/arrogantly disobeys the judge or the priest who stands there in the presence of Yahweh [and decides what should be done]. By doing that, you will get rid of evil practices among you.
Hagi mago'mo'ma avufga ra nehuno, Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo avugama mani'ne'nia pristi vahe'mo'o, kva vahe'mo'ma hania kema ontahi'nia vahera ahe frinkeno frino. E'inama hanuta kefo zana amu'nontmifintira eri atregahaze.
13 Then [after that person is executed], all the people will hear about it, and they will be afraid, and none of them will act that way any more.”
Hagi e'inama hanageno'a mika vahe'mo'za nentahi'za koro nehu'za, mago'enena ana avu'avara osugahaze.
14 “[I know that] after you have occupied the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, and you are living there, you will say, ‘We should have a king to rule over us, like the kings that other nations around us have.’
Hagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma neramia mopama omerisantihareta umanisuta amanage hugahaze, mago'a kuma'ma manigagi'naza kuma'mozama hazaza huta kini azeri oti'nune huta hugahaze.
15 Yahweh our God will permit you to have a king, but be sure that you appoint someone whom he has chosen. That man must be an Israeli; you must not appoint someone who is a foreigner to be your king.
E'inagema hanutma Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma kini manigahie huno'ma hania ne' kinia azeri otiho. Tamagra vahepintike kinia azeri otigahaze. Hagi ruregati vahe'ma tamagranema enemanisia vahera kinia azeri oraotigahaze.
16 [After he becomes the king], he should not acquire a large number of horses for himself. He should not send people to Egypt to buy horses for him, because Yahweh said to you, ‘Never return to Egypt [for anything’]!
Hagi ana kini ne'mo'a rama'a hosi afutamina ontege, vahera huzmantenkeno hosi afukura hakre'za Isipia oviho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a huno, e'i kantega ru'enena rukrahe hutma oviho huno hu'ne.
17 And he must not have a lot of wives, because if he did that, they would turn him [SYN] away from [worshiping only] Yahweh. And he must not acquire a lot of silver and gold.
Hagi rama'a a'nea ana kini ne'mo'a onteno, ru agu'a azeri rukrahe hinkeno Ra Anumzamofo amefi humigahie. Hagi rama'a silvane golinena onteno.
18 “When he becomes your king, he must [appoint someone to] copy these laws. He must copy them from the scroll that is kept by the priests who are descended from Levi.
Ana kini ne'mo'ma kini trate'ma umanisuno'a, Livae nagate vuno negesageno, ama avontafepinti kasegea erino agra'a avontafepina krenteno.
19 He must keep this new scroll near him and read from it every day of his life, in order that he may learn to revere Yahweh, and to faithfully obey [DOU] all the rules and regulations [that are written] in these laws.
Ana huteno ana avontafera erino ome ante'neno maka kna hampri vava nehuno, Ra Anumzana Anumzama'amofoma koro'ma hunte'zana rempi nehuno, kasege'ane tra ke'anena nevaririno,
20 If he does that, he [SYN] will not think that he is (better/more important) than [IDM] his fellow Israelis, and he will completely obey [LIT] Yahweh’s commands. As a result, he and his descendants will rule as kings in Israel for many years.”
avufga ra huno afuhe'ina kefenkamia oteno, kasegemofona ha'ontagino, kasegemo'ma hu'nea kante mani fatgo hugahie. E'ina hanuno'a za'zate kini tratera manino nevina, agripinti'ma fore hu anante anante'ma hu'za vanaza vahe'mo'za ana kini tratera mani'za vugahaze.
