Deotoronomia 22
1 Raha hitanao mania ny omby na ny ondrin’ ny rahalahinao, dia aza atao tsy ho raharahanao izany, fa avereno any amin’ ny rahalahinao mihitsy izany.
If you see someone's cow or sheep wandering around, don't just ignore it. Make sure you take it back to its owner.
2 Ary raha tsy akaiky anao, na tsy fantatrao, ny rahalahinao, dia ento mody any aminao ilay nania, ary aoka hitoetra aminao mandra-pitadin’ ny rahalahinao azy, dia haverinao any aminy.
If its owner doesn't live near you, or if you don't know who it is, take the animal home with you and keep it until the owner comes looking, then you can return it.
3 Ary toy izany koa no hataonao amin’ ny borikiny, na ny fitafiany, na ny zavatry ny rahalahinao, na inona na inona izay very ka hitanao; fa aza atao tsy ho raharahanao izany.
Do the same for whatever else you find that someone has lost—a donkey, a cloak, anything. Don't just ignore it.
4 Ary raha hitanao ny borikin’ ny rahalahinao, na ny ombiny, potraka any an-dalana, dia aza atao tsy ho raharahanao izany; fa manampia ny rahalahinao hanarina azy.
If you see someone's donkey or cow that has fallen down on the road, don't just ignore it. Help lift it up.
5 Aoka ny vehivavy tsy hitafy ny fitafian-dehilahy; ary aoka ny lehilahy tsy hitafy ny fitafiam-behivavy; fa fahavetavetana eo imason’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao izay rehetra manao izany.
A woman must not wear men's clothing, and a man must not wear women's clothing. Anyone who does this offends the Lord your God.
6 Raha sendra mahita akanim-borona eo anoloanao eny an-dalana ianao, na amin’ ny efa foy, na mbola atodiny, ary ny reniny manomba ny efa foy, na mikotrika ny atodiny, dia aza maka ny reniny mbamin’ ny zanany.
If you happen to find a bird's nest with chicks or eggs, whether it's in a tree or on the ground beside the road, and the mother is sitting on the chicks or eggs, don't take the mother with the young.
7 Alefaso mihitsy ny reniny, fa ny zanany ihany no alao ho anao, mba hahita soa ianao ka ho maro andro.
You may take the young, but make sure you let the mother go, so that you will do well and have a good long life.
8 Raha manao trano vaovao ianao, dia asio aro-fanina ny tampony, fandrao hisy olona hianjera eny, ka hahatonga heloka ny amin’ ny rà ho ao an-tranonao ianao.
When you build a new house, be sure to install a railing around your roof, so that you won't be held guilty if someone dies falling from it.
9 Aza fafazana voan-javatra roa karazana mifangaroharo ny taninao, fandrao samy ho lasa ho sazy ny vokatry ny voan-javatra nafafinao sy ny vokatry ny tanim-boalobokao.
Don't plant your vineyard with another kind of crop. Otherwise everything you produce—the crop you planted and the fruit of your vineyard—must be dedicated to the Lord.
10 Aza mampikambana omby sy boriky hiasa tany.
Don't harness an ox and a donkey together when you plow.
11 Aza mitafy lamba volon’ ondry sy rongony mifamahofaho.
Don't wear clothes made of wool and linen woven together.
12 Asio somotraviaviny ny zorony efatra amin’ ny lambanao izay itafianao.
Put tassels on the hem of the cloak you use to cover yourself.
13 Raha misy lehilahy mampaka-bady ary mandry aminy, ka tsy tiany indray ravehivavy,
If a man marries a woman and sleeps with her, but ends up hating her,
14 dia haratsiny sy alàny baraka ka ataony hoe: Efa nampakatra ity vehivavy ity aho, nefa raha nandry taminy, dia tsy hitako ny famantarana azy ho virijina:
and accuses her of being immoral, giving her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman and slept with her, but I found out she wasn't a virgin.”
15 dia halain’ ny ray aman-drenin-drazazavavy ny famantarana azy ho virijina ka ho entiny ho eo amin’ ny loholona amin’ ny tanàna eo am-bavahady.
The woman's parents are to bring the proof of her virginity to the elders at the town gate,
16 Dia hiteny amin’ ny loholona ny rain-drazazavavy hoe: Ny zanako-vavy nomeko ho vadin’ io lehilahy io, kanefa tsy tiany indray izy;
and the father will explain to them, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he has ended up hating her.
17 ary indro fa efa noharatsiny izy ka nataony hoe: Tsy hitako ny famantarana ny zanakao-vavy ho virijina; kanefa indreto ny famantarana ny zanakao-vavy ho virijina. Dia hamelatra ny lamba eo anatrehan’ ny loholona amin’ ny tanàna izy mivady.
Now he has accused her of being immoral, saying, ‘I found out that your daughter wasn't a virgin.’ But here's the proof of her virginity.” The parents shall spread out the sheet in front of the town elders.
18 Ary halain’ ny loholona amin’ ny tanàna izany lehilahy izany ka hofaizany.
Then the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him.
19 Dia hosaziny sekely volafotsy zato koa izy, ka homeny ny rain-drazazavavy izany, satria nahafa-baraka ny virijina anankiray tamin’ ny Isiraely ralehilahy; nefa dia ho vadiny ihany razazavavy ka tsy azony hisaorana amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainany.
They shall also fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give the money to the young woman's father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She is to remain his wife; he is not allowed to divorce her as long as he lives.
20 Fa raha marina kosa izany lazainy izany, ka tsy hita ny famantarana an-drazazavavy ho virijina,
But if the accusation is true, and there's no proof of the woman's virginity,
21 dia ho entiny mivoaka ho eo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny tranon-drainy razazavavy ka hotorahan’ ny mponina amin’ ny tanànany vato ho faty, satria nanao izay fady indrindra teo amin’ ny Isiraely izy ka nijangajanga tao an-tranon-drainy; ka dia hofongoranao tsy ho eo aminao ny fanao ratsy.
she is to be taken to the door of her father's house, and there the men of her town are to stone her to death. She has done something disgraceful in Israel by acting immorally in her father's house. You must eliminate the evil from among you.
22 Raha misy lehilahy azo mandry amim-behivavy vadin’ olona, dia samy hatao maty izy roroa, na ralehilahy izay nandry tamin-dravehivavy, na ravehivavy koa; ka dia hofongoranao tsy ho eo amin’ ny Isiraely ny fanao ratsy.
If a man is found sleeping with someone else's wife, both the man and the woman must die. You must eliminate the evil from Israel.
23 Raha misy zazavavy virijina voafofo ho vadin’ olona, ary misy lehilahy mahita azy eo an-tanàna ka mandry aminy,
If a man meets a girl, a virgin engaged to another man, and sleeps with her there in the town,
24 dia ho entinareo mivoaka ho eo amin’ ny vavahadin’ izany tanàna izany izy roroa ka hotorahanareo vato ho faty: razazavavy moa, satria tsy niantso, nefa tao an-tanàna ihany; ary ralehilahy koa, satria nandry tamin’ ny vadin’ ny namany; ka dia hofongoranao tsy ho eo aminao ny fanao ratsy.
then you must take both of them to the town gate and stone them to death. The young woman is guilty because she did not cry out for help in the town, and the man is guilty because he has brought shame on someone else's fiancée. You must eliminate the evil from among you.
25 Fa raha any an-tsaha kosa no ahitan-dralehilahy an-drazazavavy voafofo ho vadin’ olona, ary misavika azy ralehilahy ka mandry aminy, dia ralehilahy izay nandry taminy ihany no hatao maty.
However, if the man happens to meet a woman who is engaged out in the countryside, and he attacks her and rapes her, only the man has to die.
26 Fa ravehivavy dia tsy hasianao na inona na inona; fa tsy misy ota tokony hahafaty azy; fa tahaka ny olona mitsangana hamely ny namany ka mahafaty azy no hevitr’ izany zavatra izany.
Don't do anything to the woman, because she has not committed a sin punishable by death. (This is the same kind of situation as when a man attacks someone else and murders them.)
27 Fa tany an-tsaha no nahitany azy; ary niantso ihany razazavavy voafofo ho vadin’ olona, nefa tsy nisy hamonjy azy.
When the man raped the woman who was engaged out in the countryside, she shouted out, but there wasn't anyone there to rescue her.
28 Raha misy lehilahy mahita zazavavy virijina, izay tsy voafofo ho vadin’ olona, ka misavika azy sady mandry aminy, koa hita izy roroa,
If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not engaged, and he grabs her and rapes her, and someone sees them,
29 dia hanome sekely volafotsy dimam-polo ho an’ ny rain-drazazavavy ralehilahy izay nandry taminy; ary hovadiny izy, satria efa nosavihiny sady nandriany; ary tsy azony hisaorana izy amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainany.
the man must pay the woman's father fifty shekels of silver, and he must marry her because he has brought shame on her. He is not allowed to divorce her as long as he lives.
30 Tsy mahazo maka ny vadin-drainy ny olona, na maniry amin’ izay nandrian-drainy.
A man must not marry his father's wife, so that he won't bring shame on his father.
