Eksodosy 23
1 Ko minday tolom-boetse, ko manò-pitàñe ami’ty tsereheñe hitaroña’o entam-bìlañe.
“You shall not accept a lying voice. Neither shall you join your hand so as to give false testimony on behalf of the impious.
2 Ko orihe’o ty maro hikabo-draha; naho ko mireketse amy màroy handesa’o talily mampiolake ty hato;
You shall not follow the crowd in doing evil. Neither shall you go astray in judgment, by agreeing with the majority opinion, apart from the truth.
3 vaho ko osihe’o ami’ty kabò’e ty rarake.
Likewise, you shall not show pity in judgment of the poor.
4 Ihe mifanojeha ami’ty añomben-drafelahi’o, ndra ami’ty borìke’e nandifike, le tsi-mete tsy hampolia’o.
If you come across an ox or a donkey of your enemy, which has gone astray, lead it back to him.
5 Naho mifanjò ami’ty borì’ i mpalaiñ’ azoy tafahohok’ ambane’ o kilanka’eo, ko rioñeñe, fa tsi-mahay tsy holora’o hampibalak’ aze.
If you see the donkey of one who hates you, fallen under its burden, you shall not pass by without lifting it up with him.
6 Ko mengohe’o ty fizakañe i rarake ama’oy amy naneseha’ey.
You shall not deviate in judgment of the poor.
7 Mihankaña ami’ty raha tsy to; ko mañoho-doza amo vantañeo naho amo vañoñeo. Fe tsy ho meako to i tsereheñey.
You shall flee from lies. The innocent and the just you shall not kill. For I shun the impious.
8 Ko mandrambe vokañe, fa mahagoa ty mahavazoho ty ravoravo, naho mañamengoke ty saontsi’ o mahitio.
Neither shall you accept bribes, which blind even the prudent and subvert the words of the just.
9 Ko forekeke’o ty renetane amy te fohi’ areo ty tron-drenetane, fa ni-renetane an-tane Mitsraime añe ka nahareo.
You shall not harass a sojourner, for you know the life of a newcomer. For you yourselves also were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
10 Enen-taoñe ty hambolea’o ty tane’o hanontoñe ty voka’e,
For six years, you shall sow your land and gather its produce.
11 fe ko irangàm-pangaly amy faha-fitoy, hitofà’e, hikamà’ ondaty rarake ama’oo; le ho hane’ o bibin-kivokeo ty nasisa. Ampanahafo amy zay ty tanem-balobo’o naho ty golobon-olive’o.
But in the seventh year, you shall release it and cause it to rest, so that the poor of your people may eat. And whatever remains, let the beasts of the field eat it. So shall you do with your vineyard and your olive grove.
12 Eneñ’ andro ty hitoloña’o, le hitofa ami’ty andro fahafito, soa te hitofa ka ty añombe’o naho ty borìke’o vaho ho haha ka ty anam-pitoro’o ampela naho ty renetane.
For six days, you shall work. On the seventh day, you shall cease, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and so that the newcomer and the son of your handmaid may be refreshed.
13 Ambeno i vinolako rezay, le ko toñone’ areo ty añara’ ze o ndrahare ila’e zao vaho ko apo’o ho janjiñeñe am-palie’o.
Preserve all that I have said to you. And by the names of foreign gods you shall not swear; neither shall these be heard from your mouth.
14 In-telo ami’ty taoñe ty hanoa’o takataka amako:
Three times in each year, you shall celebrate feasts to me.
15 Hambena’o ty Sabadidake Mofo po-Dalivay; fito andro ty hikama’o mofo po-dalivay, amy nandiliako azoy, amy namantañako aze am-bolan-Kofahofay, fa ama’e ty nienga’o i Mitsraime: vaho tsy hatrefeñe an-tañam-polo iraho;
You shall keep the solemnity of unleavened bread. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, just as I instructed you, at the time of the month of new grain, when you departed from Egypt. You shall not appear empty-handed in my sight,
16 le i Sabadidam-pitatahañey, ty lengom-boa’ o fitoloña’oo, o nambole’o antetekeo; vaho i Takataka-Panontonañey, amy figadoñan-taoñe anontona’o sabo an-tete’o ao.
for it is the solemnity of the harvest of the first-fruits of your work, of whatever you have sown in the field. Likewise, it is a solemnity at the end of the season, when you will have gathered in all your crops from the field.
17 Homb’ añatrefa’ Iehovà Talè in-telo ami’ty taoñe ze hene lahilahy.
Three times a year, all your males shall appear before the Lord your God.
18 Ko atraok’ an-dio soroñeñe amako ty mofo aman-dalivay le tsy hampialeñeñe ho sisaeñe hamaray ty havondra’ o famantañakoo.
You shall not immolate the blood of my victim over leaven, nor shall the fat of my solemnity remain until morning.
19 Aseseo mb’añ’anjomba’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ty loha’e, toe ty lengom-boan-tane’o. Ko ahandroeñe an-drononon-drene’e ty anak’ose.
You shall carry the first grain of the land to the house of the Lord your God. You shall not cook a young goat in the milk of its mother.
20 Ingo, hampiaolòeko ty anjely hañimb’ azo amy lalañey, hanese azo mb’ amy tane nihalankañekoy.
Behold, I will send my Angel, who will go before you, and preserve you on your journey, and lead you into the place that I have prepared.
21 Itaò vaho oriho ty fiarañanaña’e, le ko iolañe, toe tsy hapo’e o fandilara’ areoo fa ama’e ty añarako.
Heed him, and hear his voice, and do not hold him in disregard. For he will not release you when you have sinned, and my name is in him.
22 Aa naho toe ambena’o i fiarañanaña’ey naho anoe’o o itaroñako iabio, le ho rafelahiko o rafelahi’oo vaho hifankalaiñe amo mpifankalaiñe ama’o iraho.
But if you listen to his voice and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will afflict those who afflict you.
23 Le hiaolo azo i Sorotàkoy hanese azo mb’ amo nte-Emoreo naho amo nte-Kheteo naho amo nte-Perizeo naho amo nte-Kanàneo naho amo nte-Kiveo vaho amo nte-Iebòseo mb’eo, fa haitoako.
And my Angel will go before you, and he will bring you to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, whom I will crush.
24 Ko milokoloko amo ‘ndrahare’eo, le ko itoroña’o, ndra mitsikombe o sata’eo; fa toe ho fonga rotsahe’o vaho ho firae’o o hazomanga’eo.
You shall not adore their gods, nor worship them. You shall not do their works, but you shall destroy them and break apart their statues.
25 Toroño t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, le ho tahie’e ty mahakama’o naho ty rano’o vaho hampihankàñeko ze atao hasilofañe añivo’o ao,
And you shall serve the Lord your God, so that I may bless your bread and your waters, and so that I may take away sickness from your midst.
26 le tsy ho aman-drakemba hañafake ndra ty ho betsiterak’ an-tane’o ao; vaho ho henefeko o andro’oo.
There will not be fruitless or barren ones in your land. I will fill up the number of your days.
27 Hampihitrifeko hiaolo azo ty fihembañañe ahy, le hampitsamborohotaheko iaby t’indaty hivotraha’o vaho fonga hampiambohoeko azo o rafelahi’oo.
I will send my terror to run ahead of you, and I will kill all the people to whom you will enter. And I will turn the backs of all your enemies before you,
28 Hiraheko fanene-bola hiaolo azo hampibaibay o nte-Kiveo naho o nte-Kanàneo naho o nte-Kheteo aolo’o ey.
sending wasps ahead, so that they will put to flight the Hivite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, before you enter.
29 F’ie tsy hataoko soik’ ami’ty taoñe raike tsy mone hangoakoake i taney vaho hifamorohotse ama’o o biby hakoo.
I will not cast them out from your face in one year, lest the land be reduced to a wilderness and the wild beasts increase against you.
30 Ho roaheko boak’ ama’o erike ampara’ te nihamaro irehe hahalova i taney.
I will expel them little by little from your sight, until you have expanded and may possess the land.
31 Hajadoko boak’ amy Riake Menay pak’ an-dRia’ o nte-Pilistio ty efe-tane’o naho boak’ amy fatrambeiy pak’amy sakay; le haseseko am-pità’ areo ty mpimoneñe amy taney haronje’o mb’aolo’o mb’eo.
Then I will set your limits to be from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Palestinians, and from the desert all the way to the river. I will deliver into your hands the inhabitants of the land, and I will cast them out from your sight.
32 Tsy hifañina ama’e ndra amo ndrahare’eo irehe.
You shall not enter into a pact with them, nor with their gods.
33 Tsy himoneña’e ty tane’o, hera hampanan-kakeo azo amako, fa naho toroñe’o o ‘ndrahare’eo, le toe ho fandrik’ ama’o.
They may not live on your land, lest perhaps they may cause you to sin against me, if you serve their gods, which certainly would be a temptation for you.”
