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:
If someone is found slain in the land which Yahweh your God gives you to possess, lying in the field, and it isn’t known who has struck 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 your elders and your judges shall come out, and they shall measure to the cities which are around him who is 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;
It shall be that the elders of the city which is nearest to the slain man shall take a heifer of the herd, which hasn’t been worked with and which has not drawn in the 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:
The elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley.
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.
The priests the sons of Levi shall come near, for them Yahweh your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in Yahweh’s name; and according to their word shall every controversy and every assault be decided.
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:
All the elders of that city which is nearest to the slain man shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley.
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.
They shall answer and say, “Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
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.
Forgive, Yahweh, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and don’t allow innocent blood among your people Israel.” The blood shall be forgiven them.
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.
So you shall put away the innocent blood from among you, when you shall do that which is right in Yahweh’s eyes.
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 you go out to battle against your enemies, and Yahweh your God delivers them into your hands and you carry them away 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 see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you are attracted to her, and desire to take her as your 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 you shall bring her home to your house. She shall shave her head and trim 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.
She shall take off the clothing of her captivity, and shall remain in your house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month. After that you shall go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your 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.
It shall be, if you have no delight in her, then you shall let her go where she desires; but you shall not sell her at all for money. You shall not deal with her as a slave, because you have 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;
If a man has two wives, the one beloved and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated, and if the firstborn son is hers who was 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 it shall be, in the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which he has, that he may not give the son of the beloved the rights of the firstborn before the son of the hated, who is 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 he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he has; for he is the beginning of his strength. The right of the firstborn is his.
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;
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 though they chasten him, will not listen to 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 his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city and to 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.
They shall tell the elders of his city, “This our son is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey our voice. He is a glutton and a drunkard.”
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.
All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall remove the evil from among you. 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;
If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is put to death, and you 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 body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for he who is hanged is accursed of God. Don’t defile your land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance.
