Keessa Deebii 21

1 Yoo namni tokko biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka dhaaltuuf siif kennu keessatti duʼee argamee namni isa ajjeese hin beekamin,

If one be found slain in the land which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him:

2 maanguddoonni keetii fi abbootiin murtii kee dhaqanii fageenya iddoo inni itti duʼee fi magaalaawwan itti dhiʼaatan gidduu jiru haa safaran.

Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain:

3 Ergasiis maanguddoonni magaalaa reeffichatti aantu keessa jiraatan goromsa takkumaa hin hojjetin kan waanjoo hin baatin fuudhanii

And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke;

4 goromsa sana gara sulula hin qotamin yookaan wanni tokko iyyuu irra hin facaafamin kan bishaan yaaʼu qabuutti haa geessan. Sulula sana keessattis morma goromsa sanaa haa cabsan.

And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley:

5 Luboonni jechuunis ilmaan Lewwii sababii akka tajaajilanii fi akka maqaa Waaqayyootiin eebbisaniif, akka dubbii wal dhabiisaatii fi miidhaa dhagnaa kami irratti iyyuu murtii kennaniif Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiin filatamaniif isaan fuulduraatti haa dhiʼaatan.

And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them YHWH thy Elohim hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of YHWH; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried:

6 Ergasii maanguddoonni magaalaa reeffichatti baayʼee dhiʼaatuu hundi goromsa sulula keessatti mormi cabsame sana irratti harka isaanii haa dhiqatan.

And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:

7 Isaanis akkana haa jedhan: “Harki keenya dhiiga kana hin dhangalaafne yookaan yommuu wanni kun hojjetame iji keenya hin argine.

And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.

8 Yaa Waaqayyo, aarsaa araaraa kana saba kee Israaʼel kan furte sanaaf fudhadhu; dhiiga nama qulqulluu kanaas saba keetti hin herregin. Yakkii dhiiga dhangalaafamees isaanii haa dhiifamu.

Be merciful, O YHWH, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.

9 Atis sababii waan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti qajeelaa taʼe hojjetteef yakka dhangalaafamuu dhiiga nama qajeelaa akkasiin gidduu keetii ni balleessita.”

So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of YHWH.

10 Ati yommuu diinota kee loluuf duultee Waaqayyo Waaqni kee dabarsee harka keetti isaan siif kennee boojuu fudhattutti,

When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and YHWH thy Elohim hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,

11 yoo warra boojiʼaman keessatti dubartii bareedduu tokko argitee ishee jaallatte niitii ofii keetii godhattee ishee fuudhuu dandeessa.

And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;

12 Mana keetti ishee galchi; isheenis mataa ishee haa haaddattu; qeensa ishees haa qorattu;

Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;

13 uffata isheen yeroo boojiʼamtetti uffachaa turtes irraa baasi. Erga isheen mana kee keessa jiraattee jiʼa tokko guutuu abbaa fi haadha isheetiif boossee booddee ati ishee wajjin ciiftee dhirsa ishee taʼuu dandeessa; isheenis niitii kee ni taati.

And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.

14 Ati yoo isheetti gammaduu baatte akka isheen gara feete deemtu gad dhiisi. Ati waan ishee salphifteef ishee gurguruu yookaan akka garbittiitti ishee ilaaluu hin qabdu.

And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.

15 Namni tokko yoo niitota lama qabaatee ishee tokko jaallatee garuu lamaan isaanii iyyuu ilmaan daʼaniif, yoo ilmi hangafni niitii inni hin jaallanne sana irraa dhalate,

If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:

16 namichi yommuu qabeenya isaa ilmaan isaatiif qoodutti mirga hangafummaa ilma niitii jibbe sanaa ilma niitii jaallatuutiif dabarsee kennuu hin qabu.

Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:

17 Garuu ilma hangafticha niitii hin jaallanne sana irraa dhalcheef qooda dhaala isaa keessaa harka lama kennuufiidhaan isa beeksisuu qaba. Ilmi sun mallattoo jalqabaa kan jabina abbaa isaa ti. Mirgi hangafummaa kan isaa ti.

But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.

18 Namni tokko yoo ilma mata jabeessaa fi fincilaa abbaa fi haadha isaatiif hin ajajamnee fi kan yommuu isa adaban hin dhageenye qabaate,

If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:

19 abbaa fi haati isaa qabanii balbala magaalaa isaa duratti maanguddootatti isa haa fidan.

Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;

20 Isaanis, “Gurbaan keenya kun mata jabeessaa fi fincilaa dha; nuuf hin ajajamu; inni albaadhessaa fi machooftuu dha” jedhanii maanguddootatti haa himan.

And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.

21 Ergasiis namoonni magaalaa isaa hundi dhagaadhaan tumanii isa ajjeesu. Ati hamaa of gidduudhaa baasuu qabda. Israaʼeloonni hundi waan kana dhagaʼanii ni sodaatu.

And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

22 Yoo namni tokko cubbuu adabbii duʼa isatti mursiisu hojjetee ajjeefamee reeffi isaa mukatti fannifame,

And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:

23 ati reeffa isaa muka irra bulchuu hin qabdu. Waan namni muka irratti fannifamu abaarsa Waaqaa jala jiruuf isa gaafuma sana awwaali. Ati biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka dhaalaatti siif kennu hin xureessin.

His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of Elohim; ) that thy land be not defiled, which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee for an inheritance.
