Tiuteronomi Kasege 21
1 Hagi Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma tamami'nia mopafima umani'nenageno mago vahe'ma ahetre'nesageta haketa erifore hugahazanagi, anama ahe'nesia vahe'ma onkesageno'a,
“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.
2 ranra vahe'mo'zane kva vahe'mo'za e'za, e'ina kuma tava'onte ana vahera ahe fri'ne hu'za rezagane'za keho.
[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.
3 Hagi rezagane'za kesageno, ina kuma'mo ana vahe'ma ahefrinea tavaontera me'ne, ana kumate kva vahe'mo'za eri'zama e'ori'nesia a' bulimakao afu ome avre'za,
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.
4 tima enevanigeno, hozama eri'za onte'nesaza agupofi vu'za, ana bulimakao afura anankena omeri vamagi'za ahegahaze.
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 Anama hanageno'a pristi vahe Livae ne' mofavre naga'mo'za e'za mago'a kea eme hanageno, vahe'ma ahe'nea knazamo'a vagaregahie. Na'ankure Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo eri'zani'a eneri'za Nagri nagifi vahera asomu kea huzmantegahaze huno huhampri zamante'ne.
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.
6 Hagi ana kumate kva vahe'mo'za anankema eri vamagi'za ahe'naza bulimakao afu'mofo agofetu zmazana sese nehu'za,
The elders from the closest town must wash their hands over the young cow whose neck was broken,
7 tagri tazamo'a amama fri'nea vahe'mofo korana erifegira otege, aheno korama'ama erifegi'mate'nea vahera tavumo'a onke'ne hugahaze.
and they must say, ‘We did not murder this person [MTY], and we did not see who did it.
8 Hagi Ra Anumzamoka vaheka'a Israeli vahe'ma zamagu'mavazinka ete zamavare'nana vahera kumi'zmia atrezmanto. Hanki hazenke'a omne vahe'ma ahe fri'nea vahe'mofo kora kumira eri zamagofetu onto. E'i anagema hanageno'a, vahe'ma ahe fri'nea knazana tamagripintira Anumzamo'a eritregahie.
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.’
9 Hagi ama ana nanekema antahita avaririsuta fatgo avu'ava Ra Anumzamofo avufina nehanageno, vahe'ma ahe fri knazana tamagripina omnegahie.
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 Hagi hate'ma vanageno Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma ha' vahetmima tamazampima zamavarentena, kina vahe zamavareho.
“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),
11 Hagi anama kina vahe'ma zamavaretma e'nafima, mago knare a'ma kesageno tamanunuma hina, a'ma erinaku'ma hanutma,
one of you may see among them a beautiful woman that he likes, and he may want to marry her.
12 avreta nontamirega vinkeno, aseni azokara nehareno, azankoa nehareno,
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].
13 antani'negeta kinama hunteta avreta e'naza kukena hatenetreno, mago ikamofo agu'afi nefane nerera kizinigura zavira neteno asunkura hugahie. Anama hinkeno mago ikama evina, ana ara a' eri'nankeno kagri a' manigahie.
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 Hanki henkama, ana aku'ma kavesra hinkenka, huntegeno amne inantegama avesi'nirega vino. Hianagi zagorera ana ara otrege, kazokazo eri'za a'nema hunentanankna avu'avara huonto. Na'ankure kagra ko antenka mase'nane.
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 Hagi mago' ne'mo'ma tare a'ma ante'neno, mago'mofonku avesi nenteno, mago'mofoma avesi nontesigeno, ana taregamokema ne' mofavrema antesa'ana, avesi nontesimo'ma agonesa ne' mofavre'ma antenkeno'a,
“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.
16 fenoma'ama refko'ma hania knarera, henka a'ma avesimanentea a'mofo agonesa mofavremofona, kota a'mofo agonesa mofavre'mo'ma eriga fenona e'origahie.
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.
17 Hianagi ave'masinontea a'mofo agonesa ne' mofavrea maka fenoma'afintira ante agofetu huno tare vahe'mo'ma eriga avamente amino. Na'ankure agonesa mofavregino, e'inahu avamente nefa fenona eriga hu'ne.
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 Hagi mago ne'mo'ma ke ontahi hazenke ne' mofavrema ante'nenkeno, nerera nefa kema nontahisigeno, kanoma amino azeri fatgoma nehanigeno kema ontahisiana,
“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].
19 nerera'ene nefa'enena ana ne' mofavrea avreke kumamofo kafante'ma ranra vahetmima mani'nare vuke,
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.
20 amanage huke ana kva vahera zamasamigaha'e, ama mofavretimofona asenimo'a hankavetigeno ha'reneranteno keti'a nontahino ne'zana nehana nehuno, aka tinte nehie.
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.’
21 Anagema hanakeno'a ana mofavrea maka ana kumapima nemaniza venenemo'za have knonu ahe frigahaze. E'inama hanuta kefo avu'ava zana amu'notmifintira eritresageno, e'i ana zamofo kema maka Israeli vahe'mo'za nentahisu'za, korora hu'za ana zmavu'zamavara osiho.
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 Hagi mago vahe'mo'ma hania hazenkemo'ma ahefrigahie hu'ne'ni'a avamente'ma vu'nenigetma, ana vahera ahe friteta, avufga'a zafare hantiho.
“If someone is executed for having committed a crime for which he deserves to die, and you hang his corpse on a post,
23 Hagi anama aheta hanti'nageno'a avufga'amo'a me'nenkeno hani huno kora otino. Hianagi ana avufga'a ko erita anama ahetama hanti'naza knafinke asenteho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a havi avu'avazamigu kazusi huzmante'nea vahe zafarera zamahe'za nehantize. Ana hu'negu Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma eri santihareho huno'ma tamamisia mopa eri pehana osiho.
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.”
