Keessa Deebii 25

1 Yoo namoonni lama wal dhabanii gara mana murtii dhufan, abbootiin seeraa isa qulqulluu gad dhiisanii isa yakka qabutti muruu qabu.

And if there should be a dispute between men, and they should come forward to judgment, and [the judges] judge, and justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked:

2 Yoo namicha balleessaa qabu sanaaf garafamuun male abbaan murtii akka inni ciisu godhee fuula namichaa duratti lakkoobsa yakka isaatiif maluun isa haa garafsiisu;

then it shall come to pass, if the unrighteous should be worthy of stripes, you shall lay him down before the judges, and they shall scourge him before them according to his iniquity.

3 taʼus inni afurtama caalaa isa hin garafsiisin. Inni kana caalaa yoo garafame obboleessi kee fuula kee duratti ni qaanaʼa.

And they shall scourge him with forty stripes in number, they shall not inflict more; for if you should scourge him [with] more stripes beyond these stripes, your brother will be disgraced before you.

4 Qotiyyoo midhaan siribsiisuutti jiru afaan hin hidhin.

You shall not muzzle the ox that treads out the corn.

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.

And if brethren should live together, and one of them should die, and should not have seed, the wife of the deceased shall not marry out [of the family] to a man not related: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and shall take her to himself for a wife, and shall dwell with her.

6 Akka maqaan isaa Israaʼel gidduudhaa hin badneef ilmi isheen deessu hangafni maqaa obboleessa duʼe sanaatiin haa waamamu.

And it shall come to pass that the child which she shall bear, shall be named by the name of the deceased, and his name shall not be 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 should not be willing to take his brother's wife, then shall the woman go up to the gate to the elders, and she shall say, My husband's brother will not raise up the name of his brother in Israel, my husband's brother has refused.

8 Ergasii maanguddoonni magaalaa isaatii waamanii isa haa haasofsiisan. Yoo inni yaada isaa geeddarachuu didee, “Ani ishee fuudhuu hin fedhu” jedhe,

And the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him; and if he stand and say, I will not 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 forward before the elders, and shall loose one shoe from off his foot, and shall spit in his face, and shall answer and say, Thus shall they do to the man who will not build his brother's house in Israel.

10 Sanyiin nama sanaas Israaʼel keessatti, “Maatii kopheen irraa baafame” jedhamee waamama.

And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that has had 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,

And if men should strive together, a man with his brother, and the wife of one of them should advance to rescue her husband out of the hand of him that smites him, and she should stretch forth her hand, and take hold of his private parts;

12 ati harka ishee irraa muri. Garaa hin laafiniif.

you shall cut off her hand; your eye shall not spare her.

13 Korojoo kee keessaa madaaliiwwan wal caalan lama jechuun tokko ulfaataa tokko immoo kan hin ulfaanne hin qabaatin.

You shall not have in your bag various weights, a great and a small.

14 Mana kee keessaa safartuuwwan garaa garaa lama jechuunis tokko guddaa tokko immoo xinnaa hin qabaatin.

You shall not have in your house various 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.

You shall have a true and just weight, and a true and just measure, that you may live long upon the land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance.

16 Waaqayyo Waaqni kee nama waan akkasii hojjetu kam iyyuu, nama jalʼina hojjetu kam iyyuus ni balfaatii.

For every one that does this [is] an abomination to the Lord your God, even every one that does injustice.

17 Waan Amaaleqoonni yeroo ati Gibxii baatu karaa irratti si godhan sana yaadadhu.

Remember what things Amalec did to you by the way, when you went forth out of the land of Egypt:

18 Isaan yeroo ati dadhabdee bututtee turtetti karaa irratti si argatanii warra duubaan tirachaa turan hunda ajjeesan; Waaqas hin sodaanne.

how he withstood you in the way, and harassed your rear, [even] those that were weary behind you, and you did hunger and was weary; and he did not fear 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!

And it shall come to pass whenever the Lord your God shall have given you rest from all your enemies round about you, in the land which the Lord your God gives you to inherit, you shall blot out the name of Amalec from under heaven, and shall not forget [to do it].
