< Kanawailua 21 >

1 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:
When there shall be found one slain on the soil which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee to possess, lying prostrate in the field, —it not being known who smote him,
2 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.
then shall thine elders and thy judges go forth, —and measure unto the cities that are round about the slain;
3 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;
and it shall be that the city that is nearest unto the slain, the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd which hath not been wrought with, which hath not drawn in a yoke;
4 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:
and the elders of that city shall take down the heifer into a ravine with an everflowing stream, which is neither tilled nor sown, —and shall behead there the heifer in the ravine.
5 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.
Then shall the priests the sons of Levi come near, for of them, hath Yahweh thy God made choice to wait upon him, and to bless in the name of Yahweh, —and at their bidding, shall be settled every controversy and every punishment;
6 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:
and, all the elders of that city who are nearest unto the slain, shall bathe their hands over the heifer that hath been beheaded in the ravine,
7 A e olelo mai lakou, e i mai, Aole ko makou lima i hookahe i keia koko, aole hoi i ike ko makou maka.
and shall respond, and say, —Our hands, shed not this blood, neither did, our eyes, see [the deed].
8 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.
Be propitious unto thy people Israel whom thou hast redeemed, O Yahweh, and do not impute innocent blood in the midst of thy people Israel. So shall they obtain propitiation for the guilt of shedding blood.
9 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.
Thou, therefore shalt consume the guilt of shedding innocent blood out of thy midst, —when thou shalt do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh.
10 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,
When thou shalt go forth to war against thine enemies, —and Yahweh thy God shall deliver them into thy hand and thou shalt take them captive;
11 A ike aku oe i wahine maikai iwaena o ka poe pio, a makemake oe e lawe ia ia i wahine nau;
and shalt see among the captives a woman of beautiful figure, —and shalt have a desire unto her, and wouldest take her to thee to wife,
12 Alaila e lawe oe ia ia ma kou hale; a e ako iho oia i kona poo, a e oki hoi i kona maiuu;
then shalt thou bring her into the midst of thy house, —and she shall shave her head and pare her nails;
13 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.
and put away the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father and her mother for the space of a month, —and after that, mayest thou go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
14 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.
And it shall be, if thou hast no pleasure in her, then shalt thou let her go whither she will but thou shalt not sell, her for silver, —thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
15 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;
When a man shall have two wives—the one beloved and, the other hated, and they have borne him sons, both she that is beloved, and she that is hated, —and it shall be that the firstborn son belongeth to her that is hated,
16 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:
then shall it be, that in the day when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, he may not treat the son of the beloved, instead of the son of the hated, as the firstborn;
17 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.
but the true firstborn the son of her that is hated, shall he treat as firstborn by giving him double out of all that is found to be his, —for, he, is the beginning of his strength, his, is the right of the firstborn.
18 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;
When a man hath a son, rebellious and insulting, who will not hearken to the voice of his father, and to the voice of his mother, —though they chastise him, yet will not hearken unto them,
19 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:
then shall his father and his mother, lay hold of him, —and bring him forth unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
20 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.
and shall say unto the elders of his city: This our son, is rebellious and insulting, —he will not hearken unto our voice, —a glutton and a tippler.
21 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.
Then shall all the men of his city stone him with stones that he die, so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst, —and, all Israel, shall hear and fear.
22 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;
But when there shall be in any man a sin worthy of death and he is to be put to death, —and thou shalt hang him on a tree,
23 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.
his dead body shall not remain all night upon the tree but thou shalt bury, him on the same day, for a reproach unto God, is he that is hanged, —so shalt thou not make unclean thy soil which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee for an inheritance.
