Sharciga Kunoqoshadiisa 17
1 Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah waa inaydaan allabari ugu bixin dibi ama wan ay ku yaallaan iin ama wax xun oo kale, waayo, taasu waxay Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah u tahay karaahiyo.
“Do not sacrifice to Yahweh our God any cattle or sheep or goats that have any defects, because Yahweh hates that kind of gift.”
2 Oo magaalooyinkiinna Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu idin siinayo haddii laga dhex helo nin ama naag sameeya wax Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah hortiisa shar ku ah isagoo axdigiisa ka gudba,
“When you are living in any of the towns [in the land] that Yahweh our God is giving to you, suppose you hear that there is some man or woman who sins by disobeying the agreement that Yahweh has made with you.
3 oo intuu taga u adeega ilaahyo kale, oo caabuda iyaga, ha ahaadeen qorraxda, ama dayaxa, amase ciidanka samada midkood, taasoo aanan anigu ku amrin,
Suppose someone tells you that that person has worshiped and served other gods, or the sun, or the moon, or the stars.
4 haddii laydiin soo sheego oo aad maqashaan, markaas waa inaad dadka aad u haybisaan, oo bal eega, haddii ay run tahay iyo wax xaqiiqa ah in reer binu Israa'iil lagu sameeyey wax karaahiyo oo caynkaas ah,
If you hear that some person has been doing that, you must investigate it thoroughly. If [you find out that] it is true that this detestable thing has happened in Israel,
5 kolkaas waa inaad irdihiinna keentaan ninkaa ama naagtaa waxan sharka ah sameeyey, oo qofkaasu nin ama naag ha ahaadee waa inaad dhagxisaan si ay u dhintaan.
you must take outside the town the man or woman who has done it. Then you must kill that person by throwing stones at him or her.
6 Oo kii la dilayo, markii laba ama saddex qof ku markhaati furaan waa in la dilo, laakiinse qof keliya markhaatigiisa waa inaan lagu dilin.
But you are allowed to execute such people only if at least two witnesses testify that they saw them [doing that]. They must not be executed if there is only one witness.
7 Oo markhaatiyaashu waa inay marka hore u gacan qaadaan qofkaas, dabadeedna dadka oo dhammu waa inay u gacan qaadaan. Oo sidaas waa inaad sharka dhexdiinna uga saartaan.
The (witnesses/ones who saw them doing it) must be the first ones to throw stones at them. Then the other people [MTY] [should throw stones at them]. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you.”
8 Oo haddii dhexdiinna ka kaco xaal garsoorid ah oo idinku adag oo ku saabsan dhiig, ama gar, ama dhaawac, oo xaalalkaas irdihiinna gudahooda lagaga murmo, kolkaas waa inaad kacdaan oo tagtaan meesha Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu dooranayo.
“Sometimes it will be very difficult for a judge to decide what really happened. He might be trying to decide whether, when someone injured or killed another person, he did it accidentally or deliberately. Or he might be trying to decide if some person is suing another person unfairly. If in some town it is very difficult to know what really happened, with the result that the judge cannot decide it, you should go to the place that Yahweh our God has chosen for you [to worship him].
9 Oo waa inaad u tagtaan wadaaddada reer Laawi iyo xaakinka wakhtigaas joogi doono, oo waa inaad xaalkaas haybisaan oo iyana waxay idiin sheegi doonaan xukunkaas garsooriddiisa.
There you should present the case to the descendants of Levi who are the priests, and to the judge who is serving at that time, and they should decide what should be done.
10 Oo waa inaad u samaysaan sida xukunka garsooriddiisu tahay, taasoo ay idiinka sheegi doonaan meesha Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu dooranayo, oo waa inaad dhawrtaan oo wada samaysaan waxa ay idin bari doonaan oo dhan.
After they make their decision, you must do what they tell you to do.
11 Oo siduu yahay sharciga ay idin bari doonaan, iyo siduu yahay xukunka ay idiin sheegi doonaan waa inaad u samaysaan. Xukunka ay idiin sheegi doonaan waa inaydaan uga leexan xagga midigta ama xagga bidixda toona.
Accept what they have decided, and do what they say that you should do. Do not try to change in any way what they have decided [IDM].
12 Oo ninkii kibra oo diidaa inuu maqlo wadaadka Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah hortiisa u taagan inuu u adeego, amase xaakinka, ninkaas waa in la dilaa, oo sharka waa inaad reer binu Israa'iil ka saartaan.
You must execute anyone who proudly/arrogantly disobeys the judge or the priest who stands there in the presence of Yahweh [and decides what should be done]. By doing that, you will get rid of evil practices among you.
13 Markaasay dadka oo dhammu maqli doonaan, oo cabsan doonaan, oo kibir dambena ma samayn doonaan.
Then [after that person is executed], all the people will hear about it, and they will be afraid, and none of them will act that way any more.”
14 Oo markaad gashaan dalka Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu idin siinayo, oo intaad hantidaan aad dhex degtaan, haddaad istidhaahdaan, Waxaannu doonaynaa inaannu boqor u boqranno sida quruumaha hareerahayaga ku wareegsan oo kale,
“[I know that] after you have occupied the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, and you are living there, you will say, ‘We should have a king to rule over us, like the kings that other nations around us have.’
15 si kastaba ha ahaatee waa inaad boqrataan kii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu doorto. Oo mid aad walaalihiinna kala soo dhex baxdaan waa inaad boqrataan. Waa inaydaan shisheeye aan walaalkiin ahayn boqor ka dhigan.
Yahweh our God will permit you to have a king, but be sure that you appoint someone whom he has chosen. That man must be an Israeli; you must not appoint someone who is a foreigner to be your king.
16 Laakiinse isagu waa inuusan fardo badsan, oo dadkana uusan Masar dib ugu celin si uu fardo u badsado, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigu wuxuu idinku yidhi, Hadda ka dib jidkaas waa inaydaan dib ugu noqon.
[After he becomes the king], he should not acquire a large number of horses for himself. He should not send people to Egypt to buy horses for him, because Yahweh said to you, ‘Never return to Egypt [for anything’]!
17 Oo naagona waa inuusan badsan si aan qalbigiisu Rabbiga uga leexan, oo lacag iyo dahabna waa inuusan aad u badsan.
And he must not have a lot of wives, because if he did that, they would turn him [SYN] away from [worshiping only] Yahweh. And he must not acquire a lot of silver and gold.
18 Oo markuu carshiga boqortooyadiisa ku fadhiisto waa inuu naqil ah sharcigan kitaab kaga qoro waxa wadaaddada reer Laawi hortooda yaal,
“When he becomes your king, he must [appoint someone to] copy these laws. He must copy them from the scroll that is kept by the priests who are descended from Levi.
19 oo naqilkaas waa inuu haystaa, oo waxa ku qoran waa inuu cimrigiisa oo dhan akhristaa inuu barto si uu uga cabsado Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah inuu wada xajiyo oo yeelo erayada sharcigan iyo qaynuunnadan oo dhan,
He must keep this new scroll near him and read from it every day of his life, in order that he may learn to revere Yahweh, and to faithfully obey [DOU] all the rules and regulations [that are written] in these laws.
20 si uusan qalbigiisu kor ugaga kicin walaalihiis, oo uusan amarka uga leexan xagga midigta ama xagga bidixda toona, in isaga iyo carruurtiisuba ay boqortooyada ku cimridheeraadaan reer binu Israa'iil dhexdooda.
If he does that, he [SYN] will not think that he is (better/more important) than [IDM] his fellow Israelis, and he will completely obey [LIT] Yahweh’s commands. As a result, he and his descendants will rule as kings in Israel for many years.”
