< Deuteronomy 21 >

1 “Suppose someone has been murdered in a field in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, and you do not know who killed that person.
In aka sami an kashe mutum kwance a fili, a ƙasar da Ubangiji Allahnku yake ba ku ku mallaka, ba a kuma san wanda ya kashe shi ba,
2 [If that happens], your elders and judges must go out to where that person’s corpse was found and measure the distance from there to each of the nearby towns.
sai dattawanku da alƙalanku su je su gwada nisan wurin da gawar take zuwa garuruwan da suke maƙwabtaka.
3 Then the elders in the town that is closest to where the corpse was found must select a young cow that has never been used for doing work.
Sai dattawan garin da suke kurkusa da gawar su ɗauki karsanar da ba a taɓa yin aiki da ita ba, ba a kuma taɓa sa mata karkiya ba,
4 They must take it to a place near a stream where the ground has never been plowed or planted. They must break its neck there in that valley.
a gangara da ita kwarin da ba a taɓa nome, ko shuki a ciki ba, inda kuma akwai rafi mai gudu, a can cikin kwarin za su karye wuyanta.
5 The priests must go there also, because Yahweh our God has chosen them from the tribe of Levi to serve him and to be his representatives [MTY] when they bless people. And he has also chosen them to settle disputes in which someone has been injured.
Firistoci,’ya’yan Lawi maza, za su fito, gama Ubangiji Allahnku ya zaɓe su su yi masa hidima, su kuma furta albarku a cikin sunan Ubangiji, za su kuma daidaita duk rigimar cin mutunci.
6 The elders from the closest town must wash their hands over the young cow whose neck was broken,
Sa’an nan dukan dattawan garin da yake kurkusa da gawar za su wanke hannuwansu a bisa karsanan da aka karye wuyar a kwarin,
7 and they must say, ‘We did not murder this person [MTY], and we did not see who did it.
za su kuma furta, “Hannuwanmu ba su zub da wannan jini ba, idanunmu kuma ba su ga an yi haka ba.
8 Yahweh, forgive us, your Israeli people whom you rescued [from Egypt]. Do not consider (us to be guilty/that we should be punished because) of murdering someone who (is innocent/had not done something that is wrong). Instead, forgive us.’
Karɓi wannan kafara saboda mutanenka Isra’ila, wanda ka fansar, ya Ubangiji, kada kuma ka ɗaura wa mutanenka alhakin jinin mutumin nan marar laifi.” Za a kuwa yi kafarar zub da jinin da aka yi.
9 By doing that, you will be doing what Yahweh considers to be right, and you will not be considered to be guilty for murdering that person.”
Ta haka za ku fid da laifin zub da jinin marar laifi daga cikinku, da yake kun yi abin da yake daidai a gaban Ubangiji.
10 “When you [soldiers] go to fight against your enemies, and Yahweh our God enables you to defeat them [IDM], and (they become your prisoners/you capture them),
Sa’ad da kuka tafi yaƙi da abokan gābanku, sai Ubangiji Allahnku ya bashe su a hannuwanku kuka kuma kama su a matsayin bayi,
11 one of you may see among them a beautiful woman that he likes, and he may want to marry her.
in ka ga wata kyakkyawar mace wadda ta ɗauki hankalinka a cikin bayin, za ka iya aure ta tă zama matarka.
12 He should take her to his home, and there she must shave [all the hair off] her head and cut her fingernails [to signify that now she does not belong to her people-group any more, but instead she is becoming an Israeli].
Ka kawo ta gidanka ka sa tă aske kanta, tă yanka kumbanta
13 She must take off the clothes that she was wearing when she was captured, [and put on Israeli clothes]. She must stay in that man’s house and mourn for a month because of [leaving] her parents. After that, he will be allowed to marry her.
tă kuma tuɓe tufafin da ta sa sa’ad da aka kama ta. Bayan ta zauna a gidanka ta kuma yi makokin mahaifinta da mahaifiyarta wata ɗaya cif, sai ka shiga wurinta ka zama mijinta, za tă kuwa zama matarka.
14 Later, if he no longer is pleased with her, he will be permitted to allow her to leave him. But because she was forced to have sex with him, he will not be allowed to treat her like a slave [and sell her to someone else].”
In ba ka jin daɗinta, ka bar tă tafi inda take so. Ba za ka sayar da ita ko ka yi da ita kamar baiwa ba, da yake ka ƙasƙantar da ita.
15 “Suppose that a man has two wives, but he likes one of them and dislikes the other one. And suppose that they both give birth to sons, and the oldest son is the child of the woman that he does not like.
In mutum yana da mata biyu, yana kuwa ƙaunar ɗaya, ba ya kuma ƙaunar ɗayan, su biyun kuwa suka haifi masa’ya’ya maza, sai ya zamana cewa ɗan farin ya kasance na wadda ba ya ƙauna,
16 On the day when that man decides how he will divide his possessions for his sons to possess [after he dies], he must not favor the son of the wife that he loves by giving him [a bigger share, ] the share that the older son should receive.
to, a ranar da zai yi faɗa wane ne a cikin’ya’yansa zai riƙe gādon da zai bar musu, kada yă sa ɗan matar da yake ƙauna yă zama kamar shi ne ɗan fari, a maimakon ɗan matar da ba ya ƙauna, wanda shi ne ɗan farin.
17 He must give to the older son, the son of the wife whom he does not like, twice as much of his possessions. That son is his firstborn son, and he must be given the share that he should receive because of his being that man’s firstborn son.”
Dole yă yarda cewa ɗan matar da ba ya ƙaunar ne ɗan fari, ta wurin ba shi rabo kashi biyu na dukan abin da yake da shi, gama shi ne mafarin ƙarfinsa, yana da hakkin ɗan fari.
18 “Suppose there is a boy who is very stubborn and always (rebelling against/disobeying) [his parents], and who will not heed what they say to him. And suppose that they punish him but he still does not pay attention to what they tell him [MTY].
In mutum yana da gagararren ɗa mai tawaye, wanda ba ya biyayya ga mahaifinsa da mahaifiyarsa, ba ya kuma jin su sa’ad da suke horonsa,
19 If that happens, his parents must take him to the (gate of/central meeting place in) the city where he lives and have him stand in front of the elders of the city.
mahaifinsa da mahaifiyarsa za su kama shi su kawo shi ga dattawa a ƙofar garinsu.
20 Then the parents must say to the elders of that city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and always rebelling against us. He will not pay attention to what we tell him [MTY]. He wastes a lot of money (OR, eats too much food) and gets drunk.’
Za su ce wa dattawan, “Wannan ɗanmu gagararre ne, mai tawaye. Ba ya mana biyayya. Mai zari ne, kuma mashayi.”
21 Then all the elders of that city must execute him by throwing stones at him. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you. And everyone in Israel will hear [about what happened] and they will be afraid [to do what he did].”
Sa’an nan dukan mazan garinsa za su jajjefe shi har yă mutu. Dole ku fid da mugu daga cikinku. Dukan Isra’ila kuwa za su ji wannan su kuma ji tsoro.
22 “If someone is executed for having committed a crime for which he deserves to die, and you hang his corpse on a post,
In mutum ya yi laifin da ya isa kisa, aka kuwa rataye shi a itace,
23 you must not allow his corpse to remain there all night. You must bury it on the day that he died, because [God] has cursed anyone whose corpse is allowed to remain on a post. [You must bury the corpse that day], in order that you do not defile the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
