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 and they go to court, and the judges judge them, then they will acquit 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;
If the guilty man deserves to be beaten, then the judge will make him lie down and be beaten in his presence with the ordered number of blows, as was his crime.
3 taʼus inni afurtama caalaa isa hin garafsiisin. Inni kana caalaa yoo garafame obboleessi kee fuula kee duratti ni qaanaʼa.
The judge may give him forty blows, but he may not exceed that number; for if he should exceed that number and beat him with many more blows, then your fellow Israelite would be humiliated before your eyes.
4 Qotiyyoo midhaan siribsiisuutti jiru afaan hin hidhin.
You must 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 live together and one of them dies, not having any son, then the wife of the dead man must not be married off to someone else outside the family. Instead, her husband's brother must sleep with her and take her to himself as a wife, and do 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.
This is so that the firstborn that she bears will succeed in the name of that man's dead brother, so that his name will not perish 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 wish to take his brother's wife for himself, then his brother's wife must go up to the gate to the elders and say, 'My husband's brother refuses to raise up for 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 must call him and speak to him. But suppose that he insists and says, 'I do not wish 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 must come up to him in the presence of the elders, take off his sandal from his foot, and spit in his face. She must answer him and say, 'This is what is 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.
His name will be called in Israel, 'The house of him whose sandal has been taken off.'
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 men fight with each other, and the wife of one comes to rescue her husband out of the hand of him who struck him, and if she stretches out her hand and takes him by the private parts,
12 ati harka ishee irraa muri. Garaa hin laafiniif.
then you must cut off her hand; your eye must have no pity.
13 Korojoo kee keessaa madaaliiwwan wal caalan lama jechuun tokko ulfaataa tokko immoo kan hin ulfaanne hin qabaatin.
You must not have in your bag different weights, a large and a small.
14 Mana kee keessaa safartuuwwan garaa garaa lama jechuunis tokko guddaa tokko immoo xinnaa hin qabaatin.
You must not have in your house different measures, a large 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 you must have; a perfect and just measure you must have, so that your days may be long in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you.
16 Waaqayyo Waaqni kee nama waan akkasii hojjetu kam iyyuu, nama jalʼina hojjetu kam iyyuus ni balfaatii.
For all who do such things, all that act unrighteously, are an abomination to Yahweh your God.
17 Waan Amaaleqoonni yeroo ati Gibxii baatu karaa irratti si godhan sana yaadadhu.
Call to mind what Amalek did to you on the road as you came 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 you on the road and attacked those of you at the rear, all who were feeble in your rear, when you were faint and weary; he did not honor 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, when Yahweh your God has given you rest from all your enemies round about, in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you must not forget that you must blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
