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.
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 [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.
àwọn àgbàgbà yín yóò jáde lọ láti wọn jíjìnnà ibi òkú sí ìlú tí ó wà nítòsí.
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.
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 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.

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.
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 The elders from the closest town must wash their hands over the young cow whose neck was broken,
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 must say, ‘We did not murder this person [MTY], and we did not see who did it.
wọn yóò sì sọ pé, “Ọwọ́ wa kò ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ yìí sílẹ̀, tàbí kí ojú wa rí i ní títa sílẹ̀.”
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.’
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 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.”

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),
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 one of you may see among them a beautiful woman that he likes, and he may want to marry her.

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].
Mú u wá sí ilé e rẹ kí o sì jẹ́ kí ó fá irun orí rẹ̀, gé èékánná an rẹ̀,
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.

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].”

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.
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 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.
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 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.”

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].
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 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.
baba àti ìyá rẹ̀ yóò gbá a mú, wọn yóò mu wá fún àwọn àgbàgbà ní ẹnu-bodè ìlú u rẹ̀.
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.’
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 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].”

22 “If someone is executed for having committed a crime for which he deserves to die, and you hang his corpse on a post,
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 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.”
