< Deuteronomy 21 >
1 If someone is found killed in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you to possess, lying in the field, and it is not known who has attacked him;
I NA ma ka aina a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai ia oe, a lilo ia nou, i loaa ka mea i pepehiia e waiho ana ma ke kula, aole i ikeia ka mea nana i pepehi:
2 then your elders and your judges must go out, and they must measure to the cities that are around him who has been killed.
Alaila e hele mai kou poe lunakahiko a me kou poe lunakanawai, a e ana aku lakou a hiki i na kulanakauhale e puni ana i ka mea i pepehiia.
3 Then the elders of the town nearest to the dead man's body must take a heifer from the herd, one that has never been put to work, and that has not borne the yoke.
A o ke kulanakauhale kokoke i ka mea i pepehiia, o na lunakahiko o ia kulanakauhale e lawe lakou i ka bipiwahine hou i hoohana ole ia, aole hoi i kauo iloko o ka auamo;
4 Then they must lead the heifer down to a valley with running water, a valley that has been neither plowed nor sown, and there in the valley they must break the heifer's neck.
A o na lunakahiko o ia kulanakauhale e alakai aku i ka bipiwahine hou ma ke kahawai e kahe mau ana, ma kahi mahi ole ia, aole hoi i luluia, a malaila lakou e oki ai i ke poo o ua bipiwahine la ma ke kahawai:
5 The priests, descendants of Levi, must come forward, for Yahweh your God has chosen them to serve him and give blessing in the name of Yahweh and to decide every case of dispute and assault by their word.
A o na kahuna, na mamo a Levi e hookokoke mai; no ka mea, ua wae mai o Iehova kou Akua ia lakou e lawelawe nana, a e hoomaikai aku ma ka inoa o Iehova, aia no ia lakou ka olelo no na hakaka a me na hahau ana a pau.
6 All the elders of the city that is the nearest to the killed man must wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley;
A o na lunakahiko a pau o ke kulanakauhale e kokoke ana i ka mea i pepehiia, e holoi i ko lakou lima maluna o ka bipiwahine i okiia o kona poo ma ke kahawai:
7 and they must answer to the case and say, 'Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
A e olelo mai lakou, e i mai, Aole ko makou lima i hookahe i keia koko, aole hoi i ike ko makou maka.
8 Forgive, Yahweh, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and do not put guilt for innocent bloodshed in the midst of your people Israel.' Then the bloodshed will be forgiven them.
E Iehova, e kala mai i kou poe kanaka, i ka Iseraela au i hoola ai, a mai hoopai i ke koko hala ole maluna o kou poe kanaka o ka Iseraela: a e kalaia ke koko no lakou.
9 In this way you will put away the innocent blood from your midst, when you do what is right in the eyes of Yahweh.
A pela e huikala aku ai oe i ke koko hala ole mai ou aku la, no ka mea, ua hana oe i ka pono imua o Iehova.
10 When you go out to do battle against your enemies and Yahweh your God gives you victory and puts them under your control, and you take them away as captives,
Aia hele aku oe e kaua aku i kou poe enemi, a e hoolilo mai o Iehova kou Akua ia lakou iloko o kou lima, a e lawe pio aku oe ia lakou,
11 if you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you have a desire for her and wish to take her for yourself as a wife,
A ike aku oe i wahine maikai iwaena o ka poe pio, a makemake oe e lawe ia ia i wahine nau;
12 then you will bring her home to your house; she will shave her head and cut her nails.
Alaila e lawe oe ia ia ma kou hale; a e ako iho oia i kona poo, a e oki hoi i kona maiuu;
13 Then she will take off the clothes she was wearing when she was taken captive and she will remain in your house and mourn for her father and her mother a full month. After that you may sleep with her and be her husband, and she will be your wife.
A e waiho aku ia i ka aahu pio mai ona aku la, a e noho ia ma kou hale, a e uwe iho ia i kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine i hookahi malama; a mahope aku e komo aku oe iloko io na la e lilo i kane nana, a e lilo ia i wahine nau.
14 But if you take no delight in her, then you may let her go where she wishes. But you must not sell her at all for money, and you must not treat her like a slave, because you have humiliated her.
A ina aole oe e makemake ia ia, e kuu aku oe ia ia e hele i kona wahi e makemake ai; mai kuai aku oe ia ia no ke kala, aole hoi oe e hoolilo ia ia i waiwai nau, no ka mea, ua hoohaahaa oe ia ia.
15 If a man has two wives and one is loved and the other is hated, and they have both borne him children—both the beloved wife and the hated wife—if the firstborn son is of her that is hated,
Ina elua wahine a kekahi kanaka, ua alohaia kekahi, na aloha ole ia kekahi, a o ka mea alohaia, a me ka mea aloha ole ia i hanau keiki nana: a ina na ka wahine aloha ole ia ka makahiapo;
16 then on the day that the man causes his sons to inherit what he possesses, he may not make the son of the beloved wife the firstborn before the son of the hated wife, the son who is actually the firstborn.
Alaila, i ka manawa e hooili ai oia i kona waiwai i kana mau keikikane, aole ia e haawi i ka ka hanau mua na ke keiki a ka mea alohaia mamua o ke keiki a ka mea aloha ole ia, oia ka hiapo maoli:
17 Instead, he must acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the hated wife, by giving him a double portion of all that he possesses; for that son is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn belongs to him.
Aka, e hoolilo ia i ke keikikane a ka mea aloha ole ia i hiapo, a e haawi papalua ia ia o kona loaa a pau; no ka mea, oia ka mua o kona ikaika, a nona ka pono o ka hanau mua.
18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and who, even though they correct him, will not listen to them;
A o ke kanaka ia ia ke keiki hewa, paakiki, aole e hoolohe i ka leo o kona makuakane, a me ka leo o kona makuwahine, a ia laua i ao aku ai ia ia, aole ia i maliu mai ia laua;
19 then his father and his mother must lay hold on him and bring him out to the elders of his city and to the gate of his city.
Alaila e lalau aku kona makuakane a me kona makuwahine ia ia, a e lawe aku ia ia i na lunakahiko o kona kulanakauhale, a i ka ipuka o kona wahi:
20 They must say to the elders of his city, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.'
A e olelo aku i na lunakahiko o kona kulanakauhale, Ua hewa, a ua paakiki keia keiki a maua, aole ia i hoolohe i ko maua leo, ua pakela ai, a ua ona.
21 Then all the men of his city must stone him to death with stones; and you will remove the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and fear.
A o na kanaka a pau o kona kulanakauhale e hailuku ia ia i ka pohaku e make ia; a e lawe aku oe i ka hewa mai ou aku la; a e hoolohe ka Iseraela a pau a e makau hoi.
22 If a man has committed a sin worthy of death and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree,
Ina e hana hewa kekahi kanaka e pono ai ke make, a e pepehiia oia, a e kau aku oe ia ia maluna o ka laau;
23 then his body must not remain all night on the tree. Instead, you must surely bury him the same day; for whoever is hanged is cursed by God. Obey this commandment so that you do not defile the land that Yahweh your God is giving you as an inheritance.
Aole e waiho i kona kino a ao ka po maluna o ka laau, aka, e kanu no ia ia ia la, (no ka mea, ua hoinoia e ke Akua ka mea i kaulia, ) i haumia ole ai kou aina a Iehova kou Akua i haawi lilo mai ai i wahi e noho ai nou.
