¹If there be a controversy between men, and they resort to judgment, and they judge [their case]; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.

¹[Ny amin'ny kapoka hatao amin'izay meloka, sy ny fitondran-doloha ny vadin-drahalahy, ary ny tsy hanaovana varo-dratsy] Raha misy olona manana ady ka mankeo amin'ny fitsarana ary tsarain'ny mpitsara, dia aoka hohamarininy izay marina ary hohelohiny kosa izay meloka.

²And it shall be if the wicked man have deserved to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and be beaten before his face, according to the measure of his wickedness with a certain number [of stripes].

²Ary raha tokony hokapohina ny meloka, dia aoka hampandrin'ny mpitsara izy ka hokapohina eo anatrehany, ary hatao araka ny helony no isan'ny kapoka hatao aminy.

³With forty [stripes] shall they beat him; they shall not exceed, lest, if they continue to beat him with many stripes above these, thy brother become despicable in thine eyes.

³Hatramin'ny efa-polo no kapoka azo hatao aminy, fa tsy hatao mihoatra; fandrao raha mihoatra noho izany, dia ho toy ny tsinontsinona eo imasonao ny rahalahinao.

⁴Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out [the corn].

⁴Aza manakombona ny vavan'ny omby mively vary.

⁵If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not marry a stranger abroad: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him as wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her.

⁵Raha misy mpirahalahy miara-monina, ary maty momba ny anankiray, dia aoka tsy hanambady vahiny any ivelany ny vadin'ny maty; fa ny rahalahin'ny vadiny ihany no aoka hanambady azy ka hitondra loloha azy.

⁶And it shall be, that the firstborn that she beareth shall stand in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name be not blotted out from Israel.

⁶Ary ny lahimatoa izay haterany dia hitondra ny anaran'ilay rahalahy izay efa maty, mba tsy ho faty maso eo amin'ny Isiraely izy.

⁷But if the man like not to take his brother's wife, his brother's wife shall go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel: he will not perform for me the duty of a husband's brother.

⁷Ary raha tsy sitra-dralehilahy ny hitondra loloha ny vadin-drahalahiny, dia aoka hankeo amin'ny vavahady ho eo amin'ny loholona ravehivavy ka hanao hoe: Ny rahalahin'ny vadiko tsy mety mamelo-maso ny rahalahiny, fa tsy mety mitondra loloha ahy.

⁸Then the elders of his city shall call him and speak unto him; and if he stand to it and say, I like not to take her;

⁸Dia hantsoin'ny loholona amin'ny tanàna ralehilahy ka hadininy; ary raha mikiry izy ka manao hoe: Tsy sitrako ny hanambady azy,

⁹then shall his brother's wife come near to him before the eyes of the elders, and draw his sandal from his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto the man that will not build up his brother's house.

⁹dia hanatona azy eo anatrehan'ny loholona ny vadin-drahalahiny ka hanala ny kapa amin'ny tongo-dralehilahy, dia handrora amin'ny tavany ka hiteny hoe: Toy izany no hatao amin'izay olona tsy mety mamelo-maso ny rahalahiny.

¹⁰And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe drawn off.

¹⁰Ary ny anaran-dralehilahy dia hatao eo amin'ny Isiraely hoe: Fianakavian'ilay nalan-kapa.

¹¹When men fight together one with another, and the wife of the one come near to rescue her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and stretch out her hand, and seize him by his secret parts,

¹¹Raha misy olona miady, ary ny vadin'ny anankiray manatona hamonjy ny vadiny amin'ny tànan'izay mamely azy, ary maninjitra ny tànany ka mandray azy an-kasarotana,

¹²thou shalt cut off her hand; thine eye shall not spare.

¹²dia hotapahinao ny tànany; tsy hiantra azy ny masonao.

¹³Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.

¹³Aoka tsy hisy vato mahery sy reraka ao an-kitaponao.

¹⁴Thou shalt not have in thy house divers ephahs, a great and a small.

¹⁴Aoka tsy hisy famarana mihoatra sy latsaka ao an-tranonao.

¹⁵A perfect and just weight shalt thou have; a perfect and just ephah shalt thou have; that thy days may be prolonged in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee.

¹⁵Vato feno lanja sady marina ary famarana tonga ohatra sady marina no aoka hotananao, mba ho maro andro ianao any amin'ny tany izay omen'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao.

¹⁶For every one that doeth such things, every one that doeth unrighteousness, is an abomination to Jehovah thy God.

¹⁶Fa fahavetavetana eo imason'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao izay rehetra manao izany zavatra izany, dia izay rehetra manao ny tsy marina.

¹⁷Remember what Amalek did unto thee on the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt;

¹⁷[Ny amin'ny handringanana ny Amalekita] Tsarovy izay nataon'ny Amalekita taminao teny an-dalana tamin'ny nandehananareo avy tany Egypta,

¹⁸how he met thee on the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all the feeble that lagged behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary, and he feared not God.

¹⁸dia ny nitsenany anao teny an-dalana sy ny namelezany ny vodi-lalanao, dia izay rehetra tsy afaka teo aorianao, raha reraka sy sasatra ianao; fa tsy natahotra an'Andriamanitra izy.Ary rehefa omen'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao fitsaharana amin'ny fahavalonao rehetra manodidina ianao any amin'ny tany izay omen'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao ho lovanao, dia hovonoinao ny fahatsiarovana ny Amalekita tsy ho eo ambanin'ny lanitra intsony: aza hadinoinao izany.

¹⁹And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God shall have given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens; thou shalt not forget it.

¹⁹Ary rehefa omen'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao fitsaharana amin'ny fahavalonao rehetra manodidina ianao any amin'ny tany izay omen'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao ho lovanao, dia hovonoinao ny fahatsiarovana ny Amalekita tsy ho eo ambanin'ny lanitra intsony: aza hadinoinao izany.
