Keessa Deebii 25
1 Yoo namoonni lama wal dhabanii gara mana murtii dhufan, abbootiin seeraa isa qulqulluu gad dhiisanii isa yakka qabutti muruu qabu.
If there be a controversy between men, and they come to judgment, and they judge them, then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the iniquitous.
2 Yoo namicha balleessaa qabu sanaaf garafamuun male abbaan murtii akka inni ciisu godhee fuula namichaa duratti lakkoobsa yakka isaatiif maluun isa haa garafsiisu;
And it shall be, if the iniquitous man is deserving to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his iniquity, by number.
3 taʼus inni afurtama caalaa isa hin garafsiisin. Inni kana caalaa yoo garafame obboleessi kee fuula kee duratti ni qaanaʼa.
He may give him forty stripes. He shall not exceed, lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem debased to thee.
4 Qotiyyoo midhaan siribsiisuutti jiru afaan hin hidhin.
Thou shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
5 Yoo obboloonni wajjin jiraatanii isaan keessaa tokko utuu ilma hin dhalchin duʼe, niitiin isaa maatiidhaa alatti heerumuu hin qabdu. Waarsaan ishee ishee fuudhee niitii haa godhatu; waan waarsaan tokko guutuufii qabus isheedhaaf haa guutu.
If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies, and has no son, the wife of the dead man shall not be married outside to a stranger. Her husband's brother shall go in to her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her.
6 Akka maqaan isaa Israaʼel gidduudhaa hin badneef ilmi isheen deessu hangafni maqaa obboleessa duʼe sanaatiin haa waamamu.
And it shall be, that the firstborn who she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name be not blotted out of Israel.
7 Taʼus yoo namichi sun niitii obboleessa isaa fuudhuu hin barbaanne isheen gara balbala magaalaatti maanguddoota bira dhaqxee, “Waarsaan koo maqaa obboleessa isaa Israaʼel keessatti waamsisuu dideera. Inni waan waarsaan tokko guutuu qabu naaf hin guutu” haa jettuun.
And if the man does not want to take his brother's wife, then his brother's wife shall go up to the gate to the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuses to raise up to his brother a name in Israel. He will not perform the duty of a husband's brother to me.
8 Ergasii maanguddoonni magaalaa isaatii waamanii isa haa haasofsiisan. Yoo inni yaada isaa geeddarachuu didee, “Ani ishee fuudhuu hin fedhu” jedhe,
Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him. And if he stands, and says, I do not want to take her,
9 niitiin obboleessa isaa sun fuula maanguddootaa duratti gara isaa dhaqxee kophee miilla isaa tokko irraa baafti; fuula isaattis tuftee, “Nama obboleessa isaatiif mana hin dhaabne irratti waan akkanaatu raawwatama” haa jettu.
then his brother's wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face. And she shall answer and say, So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother's house.
10 Sanyiin nama sanaas Israaʼel keessatti, “Maatii kopheen irraa baafame” jedhamee waamama.
And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him who has his shoe loosed.
11 Yoo utuu namoonni lama wal lolanii, niitiin isa tokkoo dhuftee dhirsa ishee harka namicha isa tumaa jiru sanaatii baasuuf harka ishee hiixattee saala namichaa qabde,
When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him who smites him, and puts forth her hand, and takes him by the privates,
12 ati harka ishee irraa muri. Garaa hin laafiniif.
then thou shall cut off her hand. Thine eye shall have no pity.
13 Korojoo kee keessaa madaaliiwwan wal caalan lama jechuun tokko ulfaataa tokko immoo kan hin ulfaanne hin qabaatin.
Thou shall not have in thy bag diverse weights, a great and a small.
14 Mana kee keessaa safartuuwwan garaa garaa lama jechuunis tokko guddaa tokko immoo xinnaa hin qabaatin.
Thou shall not have in thy house diverse measures, a great and a small.
15 Ati akka biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennu keessa bara dheeraa jiraattuuf madaalii fi safartuu qajeelaa fi amanamaa taʼe qabaadhu.
A perfect and just weight thou shall have, a perfect and just measure thou shall have, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee.
16 Waaqayyo Waaqni kee nama waan akkasii hojjetu kam iyyuu, nama jalʼina hojjetu kam iyyuus ni balfaatii.
For all who do such things, even all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to Jehovah thy God.
17 Waan Amaaleqoonni yeroo ati Gibxii baatu karaa irratti si godhan sana yaadadhu.
Remember what Amalek did to thee by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt,
18 Isaan yeroo ati dadhabdee bututtee turtetti karaa irratti si argatanii warra duubaan tirachaa turan hunda ajjeesan; Waaqas hin sodaanne.
how he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all who were feeble behind thee, when thou were faint and weary, and he feared not God.
19 Yommuu Waaqayyo Waaqni kee biyya dhaala godhee siif kennu keessatti diinota naannoo keetii irraa boqonnaa siif kennutti, yaadannoo Amaaleq samii jalaa balleessi. Waan kana hin dagatin!
Therefore it shall be, when Jehovah thy God has given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. Thou shall not forget.
