Eksodosy 23
1 Aza manangan-tsaho foana. Aza mifandray tanana amin’ ny ratsy fanahy ho vavolombelona mampidi-doza.
“You shall not spread a false report. Don’t join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness.
2 Aza manaraka ny maro hanao ratsy; ary aza mamaly ny amin’ ny adin’ olona hivily hanaraka ny maro hamadika ny rariny.
“You shall not follow a crowd to do evil. You shall not testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice.
3 Aza mandravaka ny tenin’ ny malahelo eo amin’ ny fandaharan-teniny ianao.
You shall not favor a poor man in his cause.
4 Raha hitanao mania ny ombin’ ny fahavalonao, na ny borikiny, dia avereno any aminy mihitsy izany.
“If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.
5 Raha hitanao ny borikin’ izay mankahala anao mihonaka ao ambanin’ ny entany, dia aza malaina hamonjy azy ianao, fa manampia ny namanao hamaha azy tokoa.
If you see the donkey of him who hates you fallen down under his burden, don’t leave him, you shall surely help him with it.
6 Aza mamily ny rariny izay ananan’ ny malahelo ao aminao, raha manana ady izy.
“You shall not deny right judgement to your poor people in their lawsuits.
7 Manalavira izay teny lainga, ary aza mamono izay tsy manan-tsiny sy izay marina ianao; fa tsy hanamarina ny meloka Aho.
“Keep far from a false charge, and don’t kill the innocent and righteous: for I will not justify the wicked.
8 Ary aza mandray kolikoly, fa ny kolikoly mahajamba ny mason’ ny mahiratra sy mamadika ny tenin’ ny marina.
“You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have sight and perverts the words of the righteous.
9 Ary aza mampahory vahiny, fa ianareo mahalala ny fon’ ny vahiny, satria efa mba vahiny tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ihany ianareo.
“You shall not oppress an alien, for you know the heart of an alien, since you were aliens in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
10 Ary enin-taona no hamafazanao amin’ ny taninao sy hanangonanao ny vokatra;
“For six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in its increase,
11 fa amin’ ny taona fahafito kosa dia hatsahatrao tsy hovolena izy, mba hisy hohanin’ ny malahelo amin’ ny firenenao; ary izay sisan’ ireo dia mba hohanin’ ny biby any an-tsaha kosa. Toy izany koa no hataonao amin’ ny tanim-boalobokao sy amin’ ny tanin’ olivanao.
but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the animal of the field shall eat. In the same way, you shall deal with your vineyard and with your olive grove.
12 Henemana no hanaovanao ny raharahanao; fa amin’ ny andro fahafito dia hitsahatra ianao, mba hialan’ ny ombinao sy ny borikinao sasatra, ary mba hakan’ ny zanaky ny ankizivavinao sy ny vahiny aina.
“Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your servant, and the alien may be refreshed.
13 Ary tandremo izay rehetra nolazaiko taminareo, ka aza manonona ny anaran’ andriamani-kafa akory ianareo; aza avela ho re avy amin’ ny vavanao izany.
“Be careful to do all things that I have said to you; and don’t invoke the name of other elohim ·deities· or even let them be sh'ma ·heard obeyed· out of your mouth.
14 Intelo isan-kerintaona no hanaovanao andro firavoravoana ho Ahy.
“You shall observe a feast to me three times a year.
15 Tandremo ny andro firavoravoana fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira; hafitoana no hihinananao ny mofo tsy misy masirasira, araka izay nandidiako anao, amin’ ny fotoan’ andro amin’ ny volana Abiba, fa tamin’ izany no nivoahanao avy tany Egypta; ary aoka tsy hisy hiseho foana tsy mitondra fanatitra eo anatrehako.
You shall observe the festival of Matzah ·Unleavened bread·. Seven days you shall eat matzah ·unleavened bread·, as I enjoined you, at the time appointed in the first month Aviv ·Ripening grain (of a new crop), 1· (for in it you came out of Egypt [Abode of slavery]), and no one shall appear before me empty.
16 Ary tandremo koa ny andro firavoravoana amin’ ny fijinjana ny voaloham-bokatry ny asanao, izay nafafinao tany an-tsaha, sy ny andro firavoravoana amin’ ny fanangonana amin’ ny faran’ ny taona, raha manangona ny vokatry ny asanao avy any an-tsaha ianao.
And the festival of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field; and the festival of in-gathering, at the end of the year, when you gather in the results of your labors out of the field.
17 Dia intelo isan-kerintaona no hisehoan’ ny lehilahy rehetra aminareo eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Tompo.
Three times in the year all your males shall appear before 'Adon Adonai [Lord Yahweh].
18 Aza manatitra ny ran’ ny zavatra vonoina hatao fanatitra ho Ahy ianao, raha mbola misy masirasira ao aminao; ary aza avela ho tra-maraina ny saboran’ ny zavatra vonoina amin’ ny andro firavoravoana ho Ahy.
“You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread. The fat of my feast shall not remain all night until the morning.
19 Ny santatry ny voaloham-bokatry ny taninao dia ho entinao ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao. Aza mahandro zanak’ osy amin’ ny rononon-dreniny.
The first of the first fruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of Adonai your God. “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk fat.
20 Indro, Izaho maniraka Anjely eo alohanao hiaro anao any an-dalana sy hitondra anao ho any amin’ ny fitoerana izay namboariko.
“Behold, I send an angel before you, to keep you by the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
21 Mitandrema eo anatrehany, ka mihainoa ny feony, ary aza mampahatezitra Azy; fa tsy hamela ny fahotanareo Izy; fa ny anarako no ao aminy.
Pay attention to him, and sh'ma ·hear obey· his voice. Don’t provoke him, for he will not pardon your rebellious breaches of relationships, for my name is in him.
22 Fa raha hihaino ny feony tokoa ianao ka hanao izay rehetra lazaiko, dia ho fahavalon’ ny fahavalonao sy ho rafin’ ny rafinao Aho.
But if you sh'ma ·hear obey· sh'ma ·hear obey· his voice, and sh'ma ·hear obey· all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
23 Fa handeha eo alohanao ny Anjeliko ka hitondra anao any amin’ ny Amorita sy ny Hetita sy ny Perizita sy ny Kananita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita; ary dia hofongorako ireny,
For my angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorite [Descendants of Talkers], the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear], the Perizzite [Descendant of Belonging to village], the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled], the Hivite [Wicked], and the Jebusite [Descendants of Thresher]; and I will cut them off.
24 Aza miankohoka eo anatrehan’ ny andriamanitr’ ireny ianao, na manompo azy, na manao araka ny ataony; fa aringano tokoa izy, ary torotoroy tokoa ny tsangam-baton-tsampiny.
You shall not hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to their deities, nor abad ·serve· them, nor follow their practices, but you shall utterly overthrow them and demolish their pillars.
25 Fa manompoa an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, dia hitahy ny haninao sy ny ranonao Izy; ary hesoriko aminao ny aretina.
You shall serve Adonai your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.
26 Tsy hisy ho afa-jaza na ho momba ao amin’ ny taninao; hotanterahiko ny isan’ ny andronao.
No one will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.
27 Hampandeha ny fahatahorana Ahy eo alohanao Aho ka hampifanaritaka ny firenena rehetra izay alehanao, ary hampiamboho ny fahavalonao rehetra anao Aho.
I will send my terror before you, and will confuse all the people to whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
28 Ary hampandeha fanenitra eo alohanao Aho, ka handroaka ny Hivita sy ny Kananita ary ny Hetita eo alohanao ireny.
I will send the hornet before you, which will divorce and drive out the Hivite [Wicked], the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled], and the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear], from before you.
29 Tsy handroaka azy eo alohanao amin’ ny taona iray Aho, fandrao ho lao ny tany, ka hihamaro hamely anao ny bibi-dia.
I will not divorce them from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the animals of the field multiply against you.
30 Tsikelikely no handroahako azy eo alohanao mandra-pahamaronao ka handova ny tany.
Little by little I will divorce them from before you, until you have increased and inherit the land.
31 Ary hatramin’ ny Ranomasina Mena ka hatramin’ ny ranomasin’ ny Filistina no hataoko fari-taninao, ary hatramin’ ny efitra ka hatramin’ ny Ony; fa hanolotra ny mponina amin’ ny tany ho eo an-tananareo Aho; ary handroaka azy eo alohanao ianao.
I will set your border from the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea] even to the sea of the Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)], and from the wilderness to the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall divorce them from before you.
32 Aza manao fanekena aminy na amin’ ny andriamaniny ianao.
You shall make no covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· with them, nor with their elohim ·deities·.
33 Tsy honina eo amin’ ny taninao ireny, fandrao hampanota anao amiko; fa raha manompo ny andriamaniny ianao, dia ho fandrika aminao tokoa izany,
They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin ·err (the standard goal)· against me, for if you abad ·serve· their deities, it will surely be a snare to you.”
