Deotoronomia 17
1 Asoao tsy hisoroña’o am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ty bania ndra añondry aman-kandra ndra aman-kila amy t’ie tiva am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o.
'Thou dost not sacrifice to Jehovah thy God ox or sheep in which there is a blemish — any evil thing; for it [is] the abomination of Jehovah thy God.
2 Aa naho oniñe ama’ areo ao, amo rova natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azoo ty lahilahy ndra ty ampela manao hakeo ampivazohoa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, ie mandilatse amy fañina’ey;
'When there is found in thy midst, in one of thy cities which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, a man or a woman who doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah thy God by transgressing His covenant,
3 ie nimb’ an-drahare ila’e hitoroñe naho hitalaho ke amy àndroy, he amy volañey, hera amo fifamorohotan-dikerañeo, ze tsy nandiliako;
and he doth go and serve other gods, and doth bow himself to them, and to the sun, or to the moon, or to any of the host of the heavens, which I have not commanded —
4 aa ie nitaroñeñe ama’o le jinanji’o naho hinotsohotso’o soa naho nioniñe t’ie to, vaho tsy kalafo te nanoeñe e Israele ao i hativàñe zay,
and it hath been declared to thee, and thou hast heard, and hast searched diligently, and lo, truth; the thing is established; this abomination hath been done in Israel —
5 le hasese’o mb’an-dalan-drova’o mb’eo i lahilahy ndra ampela nanao i haratiañeiy vaho ho retsahe’o vato i lahilahiy ndra i ampelay hampibabòke iareo.
'Then thou hast brought out that man, or that woman, who hath done this evil thing, unto thy gates — the man or the woman — and thou hast stoned them with stones, and they have died.
6 Am-paliem-pitalily telo ndra mpitalily roe ty hañohofan-doza i mañeva havetrakey, f’ie tsy ho vonoeñe am-palie’ ty mpitalily raike.
By the mouth of two witnesses or of three witnesses is he who is dead put to death; he is not put to death by the mouth of one witness;
7 Ho ama’e hey ty fità’ o nitalily azeo hañohofa’ iareoav loza, izay vaho ty fità’ ondaty iabio. Izay ty hañitoa’o ama’o o haratiañeo.
the hand of the witnesses is on him, in the first place, to put him to death, and the hand of all the people last; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.
8 Aa naho ama’o ty raha tsy lefe’o zakaeñe añivo’ ty lio naho lio, añivo’ ty halaly naho halaly, añivo’ ty lafa naho lafa, amy ze fifandierañe an-drova’o ao le miongaha vaho mionjona mb’amy toetse ho joboñe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oy mb’eo;
'When anything is too hard for thee for judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke — matters of strife within thy gates — then thou hast risen, and gone up unto the place on which Jehovah thy God doth fix,
9 le miheova mb’ amo mpisoroñeo naho mb’amo nte-Levio vaho mb’amy mpizaka amy andro zay le mañontanea, vaho ho taroñe’ iereo ama’o ty hizakàñe aze.
and hast come in unto the priests, the Levites, and unto the judge who is in those days, and hast inquired, and they have declared to thee the word of judgment,
10 Aa le hanoe’o i hitoroa’ iareo boak’ amy toetse ho joboñe’ Iehovày vaho hambena’o te hanoeñe ze hene taroñe’ iereo ama’o;
and thou hast done according to the tenor of the word which they declare to thee ([they] of that place which Jehovah doth choose; and thou hast observed to do according to all that they direct thee.
11 le i Hake hañòha’ iareo azo, le ho henefe’o i lily hisaontsia’ iereo te hanoe’o, le tsy hivike ndra mañavana ndra mañavia irehe amy zaka taroñe’ iereo ama’oy.
'According to the tenor of the law which they direct thee, and according to the judgment which they say to thee thou dost do; thou dost not turn aside from the word which they declare to thee, right or left.
12 Fa i lahilahy manao ze satri’e vaho tsy mañaoñe i mpisoroñe mijohañe am-pitoroñañe añatrefa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oy ndra i mpizakay, le havetrake i lahiy; haitoañe am’ Israele i haloloañey,
And the man who acteth with presumption, so as not to hearken unto the priest (who is standing to serve there Jehovah thy God), or unto the judge, even that man hath died, and thou hast put away the evil thing from Israel,
13 le hahajanjiñe ondaty iabio vaho ho hembañe tsy hanao ze satri’e avao.
and all the people do hear and fear, and do not presume any more.
14 Aa ie fa nivotrak’ an-tane hatolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo naho tavane’o, naho mimoneñe ao, vaho manao ty hoe: hañory mpanjaka hifehe ahy iraho manahake o rofoko iaby mañohok’ ahikoo,
'When thou comest in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, and hast possessed it, and dwelt in it, and thou hast said, Let me set over me a king like all the nations which [are] round about me, —
15 le toe i ho joboñe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oy ty hedrè’o ho mpanjaka ama’o; ty hirik’ amo rolongo’oo ty hajado’o ho mpanjaka hifehe azo, fa tsy hampifehè’o azo ty renetane tsy longo’o.
thou dost certainly set over thee a king on whom Jehovah doth fix; from the midst of thy brethren thou dost set over thee a king; thou art not able to set over thee a stranger, who is not thy brother.
16 Asoao tsy hamorohotaha’e soavala ho am-bata’e, ndra hampibalihe’e mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo ondatio hampitomboa’e soavala amy nitsarae’ Iehovà ama’ areoy ty hoe: Tsy himpoly mb’eo ka nahareo.
'Only, he doth not multiply to himself horses, nor cause the people to turn back to Egypt, so as to multiply horses, seeing Jehovah hath said to you, Ye do not add to turn back in this way any more.
17 Le ie tsy hañenga valy maro, tsy mone hitsile ty arofo’e, vaho tsy hanontoña’e volafoty naho volamena mitoabotse.
And he doth not multiply to himself wives, and his heart doth not turn aside, and silver and gold he doth not multiply to himself — exceedingly.
18 Aa ie miambesatse amy fiambesam-panjakam-pifehea’ey, le ho tsikombe’e an-tsokitse ty Hake toy, ami’ty boke añatrefa’ o nte-Levy mpisoroñeo.
'And it hath been, when he sitteth on the throne of his kingdom, that he hath written for himself the copy of this law, on a book, from [that] before the priests the Levites,
19 Hirekets’ ama’e izay vaho ho vakie’e amo hene andro hiveloma’eo, hioha’e ty hañeveñe am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’e, fonga hambena’e o tsara ami’ ty Hake toio naho o fañè retoañe;
and it hath been with him, and he hath read in it all days of his life, so that he doth learn to fear Jehovah his God, to keep all the words of this law, and these statutes, to do them;
20 tsy hirengevoha’ ty arofo’e ambone’ o longo’eo, naho tsy hivio mañavàna ndra mañavia’ ty lily toy, soa te ho lava-haveloñe am-pifehea’e ao, ie naho o tarira’eo añivo’ Israele ao.
so that his heart is not high above his brethren, and so as not to turn aside from the command, right or left, so that he prolongeth days over his kingdom, he and his sons, in the midst of Israel.
