Deotoronomia 25
1 Naho mifandietse t’indaty roe naho miatre-jaka hizakà’ o mpizakao, le mañatò ty to iereo vaho mañozoñe ty nanao raty,
If there is a dispute between men, they are to go to court to be judged, so that the innocent may be acquitted and the guilty condemned.
2 ie amy zao naho mañeva lafaeñe i nanao ratiy le hampibabohe’ i mpizakay añatrefa’e vaho ho lafaeñe ami’ty hamaro’e mañeva i haratiañey.
If the guilty man deserves to be beaten, the judge shall have him lie down and be flogged in his presence with the number of lashes his crime warrants.
3 Mete ho lafae’e in-efapolo fa tsy handikoarañe hera, ie mandafa mandikoatse i somoritse rezay le ho po-engeñe am-pihaino’o i longo’oy.
He may receive no more than forty lashes, lest your brother be beaten any more than that and be degraded in your sight.
4 Ko feoze’o ty añombe mandisañe.
Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.
5 Naho mitraok’ anjomba ty mpiroahalahy, vaho vilasy tsy aman-tiry ty raike, le tsy hengaen-dahy alafen-dongo’e i ramavoiñey. I rahalahim-bali’ey ty hañenga aze ho vali’e hañenefa’e i lilin-drahalahim-bali’ey.
When brothers dwell together and one of them dies without a son, the widow must not marry outside the family. Her husband’s brother is to take her as his wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law for her.
6 Ie amy zao, hatao amy tahinan-drahalahi’e nivilasiy ty tañoloñoloñan’ ana’e soa tsy ho faoheñe am’ Israele i tahina’ey.
The first son she bears will carry on the name of the dead brother, so that his name will not be blotted out from Israel.
7 Aa naho malaiñe tsy te hañenga ty ramavoin-drahalahi’e indatiy, le soa re te hionjoñe mb’an-dalambey mb’ amo androanavio mb’eo i valin-drahalahi’ey hanao ty hoe, Mifoneñe tsy hañonjoñe ty tahinan-drahalahi’e am’ Israele ao i rahalahim-balikoy; tsy mete hanoe’e amako i lilim-balin-drahalahiy.
But if the man does not want to marry his brother’s widow, she is to go to the elders at the city gate and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to preserve his brother’s name in Israel. He is not willing to perform the duty of a brother-in-law for me.”
8 Le hikanjia’ o roandria’ i rovaio, vaho hisaontsiañe, f’ie mitoky ami’ty hoe, Tsy te hangalak’ aze iraho;
Then the elders of his city shall summon him and speak with him. If he persists and says, “I do not want to marry her,”
9 le hiheo ama’e añatrefa’ o androanavio i ramavoin-drahalahi’ey le hafaha’e am-pandia’ indatiy i hana’ey le handrorà’e ty lahara’e, vaho hitsey ty hoe: Zao ty hanoañe t’indaty tsy mamboatse i akiban-drahalahi’ey.
his brother’s widow shall go up to him in the presence of the elders, remove his sandal, spit in his face, and declare, “This is what is done to the man who will not maintain his brother’s line.”
10 Le hatao ty hoe: Ty kijà’ i nañafahan-kànay re e Israele ao.
And his family name in Israel will be called “The House of the Unsandaled.”
11 Naho mifangatotse t’indaty roe naho harinè’ ty vali’ ty raike hamotsora’e am-pità’ i mamofokey i vali’ey, vaho mañity tañañe mandrambe o tabiri’eo,
If two men are fighting, and the wife of one steps in to rescue her husband from the one striking him, and she reaches out her hand and grabs his genitals,
12 le ho tampahe’o ty taña’e, fa tsy ho tretrezem-pihaino’o.
you are to cut off her hand. You must show her no pity.
13 Ao tsy hanam-bato-pandanja tsy mira an-kontra’o ao: ty bey naho ty kede.
You shall not have two differing weights in your bag, one heavy and one light.
14 Ko mampisy fañaranañe tsy mira añ’akiba’o ao: ty bey naho ty kede.
You shall not have two differing measures in your house, one large and one small.
15 Vato-pandanjàñe do’e naho mahity vaho fañaranañe do’e naho vantañe ty ho ama’o, soa t’ie ho lava haveloñe an-tane atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo.
You must maintain accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
16 Toe tiva am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ze manao irezay, ze fonga mitolon-katsivokarañe.
For everyone who behaves dishonestly in regard to these things is detestable to the LORD your God.
17 Tiahio i nanoe’ i Amalek’ azo amy lia’o niavotse i Mitsraimeiy,
Remember what the Amalekites did to you along your way from Egypt,
18 ie nifanampe ama’o an-dalañe eo naho nandafa o nitakatrotse ama’oo, o tam-boli’oo, ihe nidazidazìtse naho nitoirañe; ie tsy nañeveñe aman’ Añahare.
how they met you on your journey when you were tired and weary, and they attacked all your stragglers; they had no fear of God.
19 Aa ie nampitofà’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o amo fonga rafelahi’o mañohok’ azoo an-tane nampandovae’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo ho tavane’o le ho faopaohe’o ambane’ i likerañey ty faniahiañe i Amaleke; ko andikofa’o.
When the LORD your God gives you rest from the enemies around you in the land that He is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you are to blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget!
