Deotoronomia 24
1 Raha misy lehilahy maka vady ka mampakatra azy, ary tsy tiany intsony ravehivavy noho ny ahitany fahalotoana eo aminy, dia aoka hanoratra taratasy fisaoram-bady ho an-dravehivavy Izy ary hanolotra izany eo an-tànany ka hampiala azy ao an-tranony.
Should a man marry a woman, but then isn't pleased with her because he finds out something shameful about her, he is allowed to write out a certificate of divorce for her, give it to her, and send her out of his house.
2 Ary rehefa miala ao an-tranony ravehivavy, dia mahazo mandeha ka manambady olon-kafa.
Suppose that after leaving his house, she goes marries another man,
3 Ary raha tsy tia an-dravehivavy ilay vao manambady azy ka manoratra taratasy fisaoram-bady koa ary manolotra izany eo an-tànany ka mampiala azy ao an-tranony, na maty ilay nanambady azy taoriana:
and suppose the second man also ends up hating her, writes out a certificate of divorce for her, gives it to her, and sends her out of his house—or he may happen to die.
4 ilay nanambady azy taloha ka nisaotra azy dia tsy mahazo manambady azy intsony, rehefa voaloto izy; fa fahavetavetana eo imason’ i Jehovah izany; ary aza mampiditra heloka amin’ ny tany, izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ho lovanao.
The first husband who divorced her is not permitted to marry her again after she was shamed, for that offends the Lord. You are not bring guilt upon the land that the Lord your God is giving you to own.
5 Raha misy lehilahy vao nampaka-bady, dia tsy handeha hiantafika izy, ary tsy hampanaovina fanompoana akory, fa havela hitoetra ao an-tranony herintaona ka hampifaly ny vadiny izay vao nampakariny.
If a man has just got married, he is not to be sent to war or made to do any other duties. He is free to stay at home for one year and make his wife happy.
6 Aza misy olona maka ny fikosoham-bary ho tsatòka, na ny vatony ambony aza; fa maka aina ho tsatòka izany.
Don't accept a pair of millstones, or even just an upper millstone, as security for a debt, because that would put the borrower's life in danger.
7 Raha misy olona hita mangalatra ny anankiray amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rahalahiny ka manandevo azy, dia hatao maty izany mpangalatra izany; hofongoranao tsy ho eo aminao ny fanao ratsy.
Anyone caught kidnapping a fellow Israelite must be executed, whether the kidnapper makes him a slave or sells him. You must eliminate the evil from among you.
8 Mitandrema ny amin’ ny habokana, ka araho tsara izay rehetra hatoron’ ireo Levita mpisorona anareo; araka izay nandidiako azy no hotandremanareo harahina.
When it comes to infectious skin diseases, make sure you follow carefully all the instructions of the Levitical priests. Be careful to follow the orders I've given them.
9 Tsarovy izay nataon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao tamin’ i Miriama teny an-dalana tamin’ ny nandehananareo avy tany Egypta.
Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam on the journey out of Egypt.
10 Raha mampisambo-javatra ny namanao ianao, dia aza miditra ao an-tranony handray ny antoka aminy.
If you lend anything to someone, don't go into their house to take some kind of security.
11 Mijanòna eo ala-trano, ary ny lehilahy izay nampisamborinao no hamoaka ny antoka ho aminao eo ala-trano.
Stand outside while they go inside and bring the security out to you.
12 Ary raha malahelo ralehilahy, dia aza tananao miloaka alina ny antoka,
If he is a poor man he may give his cloak as security, but you must not keep it when you go to sleep.
13 fa tsy maintsy haverinao aminy mihitsy, rehefa tokony ho maty masoandro, mba hirakofany ny lambany, ka hisaorany anao; dia ho fahamarinana ho anao eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao izany.
Make sure you give it back by sunset, so that he can sleep in his own cloak and thank you, and you will be counted as doing good by the Lord your God.
14 Aza manao fitondrana sarotra amin’ ny mpikarama izay mahantra sy malahelo, na rahalahinao, na vahiny ao amin’ ny taninao sy ao an-tanànanao.
Don't mistreat a paid servant who is poor and needy, whether he's an Israelite or a foreigner living in one of your towns.
15 Fa andro anaovany ihany no hanomezanao azy ny karamany, raha mbola tsy milentika ny masoandro, fa malahelo izy, ka izany no irin’ ny fony; fandrao hitaraina amin’ i Jehovah noho ny nataonao izy, dia ho fahotana aminao izany.
Pay his wages every day before sunset, because he is poor and is relying on them. If you don't he may complain to the Lord about you, and you will be found guilty of sin.
16 Ny ray tsy hatao maty amin’ ny ataon’ ny zanany, ary ny zanaka tsy hatao maty amin’ ny ataon’ ny rainy; fa samy hatao maty amin’ ny fahotany avy ihany ny olona.
Fathers are not to be executed because of their children, and children are not to be executed because of their fathers. Each person is to be executed because of their own sin.
17 Aza manao fitsarana miangatra amin’ ny vahiny sy ny kamboty; ary aza maka ny fitafian’ ny mpitondratena ho tsatòka.
Don't treat foreigners or orphans unjustly; don't take a widow's cloak as security.
18 Fa tsarovy fa andevo tany Egypta ianao, ary Jehovah Andriamanitrao efa nanavotra anao ho afaka tany; koa izany no andidiako anao hanao izany zavatra izany.
Remember that you were once slaves in Egypt, and the Lord your God rescued you from that place. That's why I'm ordering you to do this.
19 Raha mijinja ny varinao any an-tsaha ianao, ka misy amboara hadinonao any, dia aza miverina haka azy; fa aoka ho an’ ny vahiny sy ny kamboty ary ny mpitondratena izany; mba hotahin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao amin’ ny asa rehetra ataon’ ny tananao.
If when you're harvesting in your field you forget a sheaf there, don't go back for it. Leave it for the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows, so that the Lord your God may bless you in everything you do.
20 Raha manintsana ny hazo olivanao ianao, dia aza miverina hitsimpona izay sisa; fa aoka ho an’ ny vahiny sy ny kamboty ary ny mpitondratena izany.
When you shake the olive trees to knock down the olives, don't go over the branches again. What's left is for the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows.
21 Raha mioty ny voalobokao ianao, dia aza miverina hitsimpona izay sisa; fa aoka ho an’ ny vahiny sy ny kamboty ary ny mpitondratena izany.
When you harvest the grapes in your vineyard, don't go over the vines again. What's left is for the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows.
22 Ary tsarovy fa andevo tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ianao; koa izany no andidiako anao hanao izany zavatra izany.
Remember you were once slaves in Egypt. That's why I'm ordering you to do this.
