Deuteronomy 19
1 'When Jehovah thy God doth cut off the nations, whose land Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, and thou hast succeeded 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 three cities thou dost separate for thee in the midst of thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee to possess it.
le aviho ty rova telo añivo’ i tane hatolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ho tavane’oy ao,
3 Thou dost prepare for thee the way, and hast divided into three parts the border of thy land which Jehovah thy God doth cause thee to inherit, and it hath been for the fleeing thither of every man-slayer.
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 man-slayer who fleeth thither, and hath lived: He who smiteth his neighbour unknowingly, and is not hating him heretofore,
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 cometh in with his neighbour into a forest to hew wood, and his hand hath driven with an axe to cut the tree, and the iron hath slipped from the wood, and hath met his neighbour, and he hath died — he doth flee unto one of these cities, and hath 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 man-slayer when his heart is hot, and hath overtaken him (because the way is great), and hath smitten him — the life, and he hath no sentence of death, for he is not hating him heretofore;
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 thee, saying, Three cities thou dost separate to thee.
Izay ty andiliako azo ty hoe: Añivaho rova telo ho azo.
8 'And if Jehovah thy God doth enlarge thy border, as He hath sworn to thy fathers, and hath given to thee all the land which He hath spoken to give to thy 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 thou keepest all this command to do it, which I am commanding thee to-day, to love Jehovah thy God, and to walk in His ways all the days — then thou hast added to thee yet three cities 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 innocent blood is not shed in the midst of thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance, and there hath been upon thee blood.
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 neighbour, and hath lain in wait for him, and risen against him, and smitten him — the life, and he hath died, and he hath fled unto 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 then the elders of his city have sent and taken him from thence, and given him into the hand of the redeemer of blood, and he hath died;
vaho hampañitrik’ aze o roandria’ i rova’eio le hasese boak’ amy rovay re hatolots’ am-pità’ ty mpamale fate hikenkaña’e.
13 thine eye hath no pity on him, and thou hast put away the innocent blood from Israel, and it is well with thee.
Ko iferenaiñam-pihaino’o, fa ho fòra’o am’Israele ty lio-maliñe soa te ho tahie’e.
14 'Thou dost not remove a border of thy neighbour, which they of former times have made, in thine inheritance, which thou dost inherit in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee 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 doth not rise against a man for any iniquity, and for any sin, in any sin which he sinneth; 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 doth rise against a man, to testify against him apostasy,
Naho mitroatse hitalily ondaty ami’ ty tsy to ty mpitalily vìlañe,
17 then have both the men who have the strife stood before Jehovah, 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 lo, the witness [is] a false witness, a falsehood he hath testified against his brother:
Le hañotsohotso o mpizakao, aa naho tendreke te mpitalily vìlañe i mpitaliliy, nitaroñe raha tsy to amy rahalahi’ey,
19 'Then ye have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy 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 do hear and fear, and add not to do any more according to this evil thing in thy midst;
le hijanjiñe o ila’eo vaho ho hembañe tsy hanao i tahiñe zay añivo’o ao ka.
21 and thine eye doth 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.
