Deotoronomia 23
1 Tsy mahazo miditra amin’ ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah izay torotoro vihina, na izay voatapaka ny filahiany.
No man whose genitals have been damaged or cut off is allowed to enter the Lord's sanctuary.
2 Ny zazasary tsy mahazo miditra amin’ ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah: na dia hatramin’ ny taranany fahafolo mandimby aza dia tsy hahazo miditra amin’ ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah.
No one of mixed race is allowed to enter the Lord's sanctuary, and none of his descendants may do so either, up to the tenth generation.
3 Ny Amonita sy ny Moabita tsy mahazo miditra amin’ ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah: na dia hatramin’ ny taranany fahafolo mandimby aza dia tsy hahazo miditra amin’ ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah hatramin’ ny mandrakizay ireny,
No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants are allowed to enter the Lord's sanctuary, up to the tenth generation.
4 satria tsy nitsena hanina sy rano anareo teny an-dalana izy, raha nivoaka avy tany Egypta ianareo, ary satria nanamby an’ i Balama, zanak’ i Beora, avy any Petora any Mesopotamia, hanozona anao izy.
For they did not come to meet you with food and water on your journey from Egypt, and they hired Balaam, son of Beor, from Pethor in Mesopotamia, to curse you.
5 Kanefa Jehovah Andriamanitrao tsy nety nihaino an’ i Balama, fa nampody ny fanozonana ho fitahiana anao Izy noho ny fitiavany anao.
But the Lord your God refused to listen to Balaam. The Lord your God turned what was meant to be a curse into a blessing for you because the Lord your God loves you.
6 Aza mitady izay hiadanany na izay hahasoa azy amin’ ny andronao rehetra mandrakizay.
Don't arrange a peace treaty with them or help them out as long as you live.
7 Aza atao ho fahavetavetana ny Edomita, fa rahalahinao izy, na ny Egyptiana, fa efa mba vahiny tany amin’ ny taniny ianao.
Don't look down on an Edomite, for they are your relatives. Don't look down on an Egyptian either, because you lived as foreigners in their country.
8 Ny zafiafin’ ireo dia hahazo miditra amin’ ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah.
The third generation of their children are allowed to enter the Lord's sanctuary.
9 Raha mivoaka hiady amin’ ny fahavalonao ny tafikao, dia mifadia ny ratsy rehetra.
When you are in an army camp during a war with your enemies, make sure you avoid anything wrong.
10 Raha misy olona eo aminao, izay tsy madio noho izay nanjo azy tamin’ ny alina, dia hivoaka eny ivelan’ ny toby izy, fa tsy hiditra ao anatiny.
Any man there who becomes unclean because of a release of semen must leave the camp and remain outside.
11 Fa rehefa hariva, dia aoka handro amin’ ny rano izy; ary nony tokony ho maty masoandro, dia mahazo miverina eo amin’ ny toby indray izy.
Towards the end of the day he must wash himself with water, and at sunset he may return to the camp.
12 Ary aoka hisy tany voafaritrao any ivelan’ ny toby ho fivoahanao;
Choose a place outside the camp to be used as a toilet.
13 ary mitondrà fantaka miaraka amin’ ny fiadianao, ka raha hipetraka eny ivelany ianao, dia mihadia lavaka amin’ ny fantaka, ka totofy ny fivalananao.
You need to have a spade as part of your equipment so that you can dig a hole, and then when you're finished you can cover up your excrement.
14 Fa Jehovah Andriamanitrao mandeha eo afovoan’ ny tobinao hamonjy anao sy hanolotra ny fahavalonao eo anoloanao; ka dia ho masìna ny tobinao, mba tsy hahita zavatra maloto eo aminao izy ka tsy hiala aminao.
The Lord your God is present with you in your camp to keep you safe and to defeat your enemies. Your camp must be kept holy, because if he sees anything unclean among you and he will leave you.
15 Aza atolotrao amin’ ny tompony intsony ny andevo izay mandositra mamonjy tena ho eo aminao.
Don't send a slave back to their master if they have come to you for protection.
16 Eo aminao no hitoerany, dia eo amin’ ny tanàna izay tiany sy izay sitraky ny fony; fa aza mampahory azy.
Let the slave live in your country wherever they want, in whatever town they want. Don't mistreat them.
17 Aoka tsy hisy zanakavavy na zanakalahin’ ny Isiraely hanolo-tena hijangajanga ho fanompoan-tsampy.
No Israelite women or men are to be cult prostitutes.
18 Aza mitondra ny tangin’ ny vehivavy janga, na ny karaman’ alika, ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra, hanefana voady; fa fahavetavetana eo imason’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ireo zavatra roa ireo.
Don't bring into the house of the Lord your God any money from a prostitute, whether a woman or a man, using it to fulfill a promise to the Lord, for both are offensive to the Lord your God.
19 Aza mampanàna zavatra amin’ ny rahalahinao, na vola, na hanina, na zavatra hafa mety hampananaina.
Don't charge a fellow Israelite interest on money, food, or any other kind of loan.
20 Ny olona hafa firenena ihany no hampanananao zavatra; fa ny rahalahinao kosa dia tsy hampanananao; mba hotahin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao amin’ izay rehetra ataon’ ny tananao eo amin’ ny tany izay efa hidiranao holovana.
You may charge a foreigner interest, but not an Israelite, so that the Lord your God may bless you in everything you do in the country that you are going in to occupy.
21 Raha mivoady amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao, dia aza ela fanefa; fa hadinin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao aminao tokoa izany ka ho fahotana aminao.
If you make a promise to the Lord your God, don't be slow in keeping it, because he will definitely demand that you fulfill it and you will be guilty of sin if you don't.
22 Fa raha tsy mivoady ianao, dia tsy fahotana aminao izany.
If you don't make such promises then you won't be guilty of sin.
23 Izay aloaky ny vavanao dia tandremo hotanterahinao, araka ny sitraponao nivoadianao tamin’ i Jehovah ihany, dia izay nolazain’ ny vavanao.
But make sure to carry out what you've said to the Lord your God, because it was you who freely chose to make such a promise.
24 Raha mankany amin’ ny tanim-boaloboky ny namanao ianao, dia mahazo manaram-po mihinam-boaloboka hahavoky anao; fa aza mitondra mody.
When you walk through your neighbor's vineyard, you can eat as many grapes as you want, but you must not collect any to take with you.
25 Raha mankany amin’ ny tanimbarin’ ny namanao ianao, dia mahazo mioty salohim-bary ny tananao; fa aza jinjanao antsy ny varin’ ny namanao.
When you walk through your neighbor's grainfield, you may pick the ears of grain with your hand, but you must not use a sickle to harvest it.
