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 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 Yoo namicha balleessaa qabu sanaaf garafamuun male abbaan murtii akka inni ciisu godhee fuula namichaa duratti lakkoobsa yakka isaatiif maluun isa haa garafsiisu;
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 taʼus inni afurtama caalaa isa hin garafsiisin. Inni kana caalaa yoo garafame obboleessi kee fuula kee duratti ni qaanaʼa.
He may receive no more than forty lashes, lest your brother be beaten any more than that and be degraded in your sight.
4 Qotiyyoo midhaan siribsiisuutti jiru afaan hin hidhin.
Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading 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.
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 Akka maqaan isaa Israaʼel gidduudhaa hin badneef ilmi isheen deessu hangafni maqaa obboleessa duʼe sanaatiin haa waamamu.
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 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.
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 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 summon him and speak with him. If he persists and says, “I do not want to marry 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.
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 Sanyiin nama sanaas Israaʼel keessatti, “Maatii kopheen irraa baafame” jedhamee waamama.
And his family name in Israel will be called “The House of the Unsandaled.”
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,
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 ati harka ishee irraa muri. Garaa hin laafiniif.
you are to cut off her hand. You must show her no pity.
13 Korojoo kee keessaa madaaliiwwan wal caalan lama jechuun tokko ulfaataa tokko immoo kan hin ulfaanne hin qabaatin.
You shall not have two differing weights in your bag, one heavy and one light.
14 Mana kee keessaa safartuuwwan garaa garaa lama jechuunis tokko guddaa tokko immoo xinnaa hin qabaatin.
You shall not have two differing measures in your house, one large and one small.
15 Ati akka biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennu keessa bara dheeraa jiraattuuf madaalii fi safartuu qajeelaa fi amanamaa taʼe qabaadhu.
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 Waaqayyo Waaqni kee nama waan akkasii hojjetu kam iyyuu, nama jalʼina hojjetu kam iyyuus ni balfaatii.
For everyone who behaves dishonestly in regard to these things is detestable to the LORD your God.
17 Waan Amaaleqoonni yeroo ati Gibxii baatu karaa irratti si godhan sana yaadadhu.
Remember what the Amalekites did to you along your way from Egypt,
18 Isaan yeroo ati dadhabdee bututtee turtetti karaa irratti si argatanii warra duubaan tirachaa turan hunda ajjeesan; Waaqas hin sodaanne.
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 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!
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!
