Sharciga Kunoqoshadiisa 21
1 Oo dalka Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu idiin siinayo inaad hantidaan haddii laga dhex helo mid la dilay oo berrinka dhex yaal, oo la aqoon waayo kii isaga dilay,
“Suppose someone has been murdered in a field in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, and you do not know who killed that person.
2 markaas waa inay wadaaddadiinna iyo xaakinnadiinnu soo baxaan, oo waa inay qiyaasaan ilaa magaalooyinka kan la dilay hareerahiisa ku wareegsan,
[If that happens], your elders and judges must go out to where that person’s corpse was found and measure the distance from there to each of the nearby towns.
3 oo magaaladii ugu dhow ninka la dilay waa in odayaasha magaaladaasu ay lo'da ka soo wataan qaalin aan lagu shaqaysan oo aan harqood wax ku jiidin,
Then the elders in the town that is closest to where the corpse was found must select a young cow that has never been used for doing work.
4 oo odayaasha magaaladaasu waa inay qaalinta u wadaan dooxo biyaheedu ordayaan oo aan la jeexin, waxna lagu beerin, oo halkaas dooxada dhexdeeda ah qaalinta qoorta ha kaga jebiyeen.
They must take it to a place near a stream where the ground has never been plowed or planted. They must break its neck there in that valley.
5 Oo markaas wadaaddada ah ilma Laawi waa inay soo dhowaadaan, waayo, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu iyaguu u doortay inay isaga u adeegaan iyo inay ku duceeyaan magaca Rabbiga, oo muran kasta iyo dhaawac kastaba siday iyagu yidhaahdaan ha laga yeelo.
The priests must go there also, because Yahweh our God has chosen them from the tribe of Levi to serve him and to be his representatives [MTY] when they bless people. And he has also chosen them to settle disputes in which someone has been injured.
6 Oo magaalada ninka la dilay magaalo ahaan ugu dhow odayaasheeda oo dhammu waa inay ku kor faraxashaan qaalintii qoorta lagaga jebiyey dooxada dhexdeeda,
The elders from the closest town must wash their hands over the young cow whose neck was broken,
7 oo iyagu markaas ha jawaabeen oo ha yidhaahdeen, Dhiiggan gacmahayagu ma daadin, indhahayaguna ma arag.
and they must say, ‘We did not murder this person [MTY], and we did not see who did it.
8 Haddaba Rabbiyow, cafi dadkaaga reer binu Israa'iil oo aad soo furatay, oo hana u oggolaan in dhiig aan xaq qabinu uu saarnaado dadkaaga reer binu Israa'iil. Oo markaas iyaga waa loo kafaaro gudi doonaa dhiiggaas.
Yahweh, forgive us, your Israeli people whom you rescued [from Egypt]. Do not consider (us to be guilty/that we should be punished because) of murdering someone who (is innocent/had not done something that is wrong). Instead, forgive us.’
9 Oo sidaas waa inaad dhexdiinna uga saartaan dhiigga aan xaqa qabin markaad samaysaan waxa ku qumman Rabbiga hortiisa.
By doing that, you will be doing what Yahweh considers to be right, and you will not be considered to be guilty for murdering that person.”
10 Oo markaad dagaal ugu baxdaan cadaawayaashiinna, oo uu Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu iyaga gacmihiinna soo geliyo, oo aad maxaabiis ahaan iyaga u kaxaysataan,
“When you [soldiers] go to fight against your enemies, and Yahweh our God enables you to defeat them [IDM], and (they become your prisoners/you capture them),
11 oo haddii midkiin maxaabiista dhexdooda ku arko qof dumar ah oo qurux badan, oo uu iyada jeclaado oo uu doonayo inuu naagaysto,
one of you may see among them a beautiful woman that he likes, and he may want to marry her.
12 markaas waa inuu gurigiisii geeystaa, oo iyadu waa inay timaha iska xiirtaa oo ciddiyahana iska jartaa,
He should take her to his home, and there she must shave [all the hair off] her head and cut her fingernails [to signify that now she does not belong to her people-group any more, but instead she is becoming an Israeli].
13 oo dharkii maxaabiista waa inay iska furtaa, oo gurigiisa ha joogto, oo bil dhan ha u baroorato aabbaheed iyo hooyadeed, oo taas dabadeed waa inuu u tagaa oo ninkeedii ahaadaa, oo iyana naagtiisii ha ahaato.
She must take off the clothes that she was wearing when she was captured, [and put on Israeli clothes]. She must stay in that man’s house and mourn for a month because of [leaving] her parents. After that, he will be allowed to marry her.
14 Oo markaas hadduusan iyada u bogin, waa inuu iska sii daayaa, meeshay doonayso ha tagtee, laakiinse iyada waa inuusan marnaba lacag ku iibin, oo waa inuusan iyada sidii addoon ula macaamiloon, maxaa yeelay, ceeb buu ku hoosaysiiyey.
Later, if he no longer is pleased with her, he will be permitted to allow her to leave him. But because she was forced to have sex with him, he will not be allowed to treat her like a slave [and sell her to someone else].”
15 Haddii nin laba naagood qabo, oo uu mid jecel yahay, tan kalena neceb yahay, oo tan uu jecel yahay iyo tan uu neceb yahay labaduba ay isaga carruur u dhaleen, oo haddii wiilkiisa curadka ah tan uu neceb yahay ay dhashay,
“Suppose that a man has two wives, but he likes one of them and dislikes the other one. And suppose that they both give birth to sons, and the oldest son is the child of the woman that he does not like.
16 maalinta uu isagu wiilashiisa dhaxalsiiyo xoolihiisa waa inuusan naagtii uu jeclaa wiilkeeda ka dhigin curadka ka horreeyey tii uu nebcaa wiilkeedii ee curadka ahaa,
On the day when that man decides how he will divide his possessions for his sons to possess [after he dies], he must not favor the son of the wife that he loves by giving him [a bigger share, ] the share that the older son should receive.
17 laakiinse naagtii uu nebcaa wiilkeedu inuu curadkiisii yahay waa inuu ku caddeeyaa qaybta labanlaabka ah ee uu ka siiyo waxa uu haysto oo dhan, maxaa yeelay, isagu waa bilowgii xooggiisa, oo xaqa curadnimada isagaa leh.
He must give to the older son, the son of the wife whom he does not like, twice as much of his possessions. That son is his firstborn son, and he must be given the share that he should receive because of his being that man’s firstborn son.”
18 Haddii nin leeyahay wiil madax adag oo caasi ah oo aan addeecin hadalka aabbihiis ama hadalka hooyadiis, oo in kastoo ay edbiyaan aan iyaga dhegaysan innaba,
“Suppose there is a boy who is very stubborn and always (rebelling against/disobeying) [his parents], and who will not heed what they say to him. And suppose that they punish him but he still does not pay attention to what they tell him [MTY].
19 markaas aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis waa inay isaga soo qabtaan, oo intay odayaasha magaaladiisa u soo bixiyaan ay iridda magaalada keenaan,
If that happens, his parents must take him to the (gate of/central meeting place in) the city where he lives and have him stand in front of the elders of the city.
20 oo iyagu odayaasha magaaladiisa ha ku yidhaahdeen, Wiilkayaganu waa madax adag yahay, oo waa caasi, oo isagu dooni maayo inuu hadalkayaga addeeco. Isagu waa rabshaalow oo waa khamriyacab.
Then the parents must say to the elders of that city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and always rebelling against us. He will not pay attention to what we tell him [MTY]. He wastes a lot of money (OR, eats too much food) and gets drunk.’
21 Oo markaas nimanka magaaladiisa oo dhammu waa inay isaga dhagxiyaan si uu u dhinto. Oo sidaas waa inaad sharka dhexdiinna uga saartaan, oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu taas way maqli doonaan, markaasay cabsan doonaan.
Then all the elders of that city must execute him by throwing stones at him. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you. And everyone in Israel will hear [about what happened] and they will be afraid [to do what he did].”
22 Oo haddii nin galo dembi dhimasho istaahila, oo isaga la dilo oo aad geed ka soo deldeshaan,
“If someone is executed for having committed a crime for which he deserves to die, and you hang his corpse on a post,
23 jidhkiisa meydka ahu waa inaan habeenka oo dhan geedka lagu dayn, laakiinse hubaal waa inaad isla maalintaas aastaan si aydaan ku nijaasayn dalka uu Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu dhaxal idiin siiyey, maxaa yeelay, mid kasta oo geed ka soo deldelanu wuu ka inkaaran yahay xagga Ilaah.
you must not allow his corpse to remain there all night. You must bury it on the day that he died, because [God] has cursed anyone whose corpse is allowed to remain on a post. [You must bury the corpse that day], in order that you do not defile the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
