¹[Didy samy hafa ny amin'ny fitiavana ny namana, sy ny tsi-fampifamadihana ny fomban-javatra] Raha hitanao mania ny omby na ny ondrin'ny rahalahinao, dia aza atao tsy ho raharahanao izany, fa avereno any amin'ny rahalahinao mihitsy izany.

¹`Thou dost not see the ox of thy brother or his sheep driven away, and hast hidden thyself from them, thou dost certainly turn them back to thy brother;

²Ary raha tsy akaiky anao, na tsy fantatrao, ny rahalahinao, dia ento mody any aminao ilay nania, ary aoka hitoetra aminao mandra-pitadin'ny rahalahinao azy, dia haverinao any aminy.

²and if thy brother [is] not near unto thee, and thou hast not known him, then thou hast removed it unto the midst of thy house, and it hath been with thee till thy brother seek it, and thou hast given it back to him;

³Ary toy izany koa no hataonao amin'ny borikiny, na ny fitafiany, na ny zavatry ny rahalahinao, na inona na inona izay very ka hitanao; fa aza atao tsy ho raharahanao izany.

³and so thou dost to his ass, and so thou dost to his garment, and so thou dost to any lost thing of thy brother`s, which is lost by him, and thou hast found it; thou art not able to hide thyself.

⁴Ary raha hitanao ny borikin'ny rahalahinao, na ny ombiny, potraka any an-dalana, dia aza atao tsy ho raharahanao izany; fa manampia ny rahalahinao hanarina azy.

⁴`Thou dost not see the ass of thy brother, or his ox, falling in the way, and hast hid thyself from them; thou dost certainly raise [them] up with him.

⁵Aoka ny vehivavy tsy hitafy ny fitafian-dehilahy; ary aoka ny lehilahy tsy hitafy ny fitafiam-behivavy; fa fahavetavetana eo imason'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao izay rehetra manao izany.

⁵`The habiliments of a man are not on a woman, nor doth a man put on the garment of a woman, for the abomination of Jehovah thy God [is] any one doing these.

⁶Raha sendra mahita akanim-borona eo anoloanao eny an-dalana ianao, na amin'ny efa foy, na mbola atodiny, ary ny reniny manomba ny efa foy, na mikotrika ny atodiny, dia aza maka ny reniny mbamin'ny zanany.

⁶`When a bird`s nest cometh before thee in the way, in any tree, or on the earth, brood or eggs, and the mother sitting on the brood or on the eggs, thou dost not take the mother with the young ones;

⁷Alefaso mihitsy ny reniny, fa ny zanany ihany no alao ho anao, mba hahita soa ianao ka ho maro andro.

⁷thou dost certainly send away the mother, and the young ones dost take to thyself, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast prolonged days.

⁸Raha manao trano vaovao ianao, dia asio aro-fanina ny tampony, fandrao hisy olona hianjera eny, ka hahatonga heloka ny amin'ny rà ho ao an-tranonao ianao.

⁸`When thou buildest a new house, then thou hast made a parapet to thy roof, and thou dost not put blood on thy house when one falleth from it.

⁹Aza fafazana voan-javatra roa karazana mifangaroharo ny taninao, fandrao samy ho lasa ho sazy ny vokatry ny voan-javatra nafafinao sy ny vokatry ny tanim-boalobokao.

⁹`Thou dost not sow thy vineyard [with] divers things, lest the fulness of the seed which thou dost sow, and the increase of the vineyard, be separated.

¹⁰Aza mampikambana omby sy boriky hiasa tany.

¹⁰`Thou dost not plow with an ox and with an ass together.

¹¹Aza mitafy lamba volon'ondry sy rongony mifamahofaho.

¹¹`Thou dost not put on a mixed cloth, wool and linen together.

¹²Asio somotraviaviny ny zorony efatra amin'ny lambanao izay itafianao.

¹²`Fringes thou dost make to thee on the four skirts of thy covering with which thou dost cover [thyself].

¹³[Didy ny amin'ny fanamasinana ny fanambadiana] Raha misy lehilahy mampaka-bady ary mandry aminy, ka tsy tiany indray ravehivavy,

¹³`When a man taketh a wife, and hath gone in unto her, and hated her,

¹⁴dia haratsiny sy alàny baraka ka ataony hoe: Efa nampakatra ity vehivavy ity aho, nefa raha nandry taminy, dia tsy hitako ny famantarana azy ho virijina:

¹⁴and laid against her actions of words, and brought out against her an evil name, and said, This woman I have taken, and I draw near unto her, and I have not found in her tokens of virginity:

¹⁵dia halain'ny ray aman-drenin-drazazavavy ny famantarana azy ho virijina ka ho entiny ho eo amin'ny loholona amin'ny tanàna eo am-bavahady.

¹⁵`Then hath the father of the damsel — and her mother — taken and brought out the tokens of virginity of the damsel unto the elders of the city in the gate,

¹⁶Dia hiteny amin'ny loholona ny rain-drazazavavy hoe: Ny zanako-vavy nomeko ho vadin'io lehilahy io, kanefa tsy tiany indray izy;

¹⁶and the father of the damsel hath said unto the elders, My daughter I have given to this man for a wife, and he doth hate her;

¹⁷ary indro fa efa noharatsiny izy ka nataony hoe: Tsy hitako ny famantarana ny zanakao-vavy ho virijina; kanefa indreto ny famantarana ny zanakao-vavy ho virijina. Dia hamelatra ny lamba eo anatrehan'ny loholona amin'ny tanàna izy mivady.

¹⁷and lo, he hath laid actions of words, saying, I have not found to thy daughter tokens of virginity — and these [are] the tokens of the virginity of my daughter! and they have spread out the garment before the elders of the city.

¹⁸Ary halain'ny loholona amin'ny tanàna izany lehilahy izany ka hofaizany.

¹⁸`And the elders of that city have taken the man, and chastise him,

¹⁹Dia hosaziny sekely volafotsy zato koa izy, ka homeny ny rain-drazazavavy izany, satria nahafa-baraka ny virijina anankiray tamin'ny Isiraely ralehilahy; nefa dia ho vadiny ihany razazavavy ka tsy azony hisaorana amin'ny andro rehetra hiainany.

¹⁹and fined him a hundred silverlings, and given to the father of the damsel, because he hath brought out an evil name on a virgin of Israel, and she is to him for a wife, he is not able to send her away all his days.

²⁰Fa raha marina kosa izany lazainy izany, ka tsy hita ny famantarana an-drazazavavy ho virijina,

²⁰`And if this thing hath been truth — tokens of virginity have not been found for the damsel —

²¹dia ho entiny mivoaka ho eo anoloan'ny varavaran'ny tranon-drainy razazavavy ka hotorahan'ny mponina amin'ny tanànany vato ho faty, satria nanao izay fady indrindra teo amin'ny Isiraely izy ka nijangajanga tao an-tranon-drainy; ka dia hofongoranao tsy ho eo aminao ny fanao ratsy.

²¹then they have brought out the damsel unto the opening of her father`s house, and stoned her have the men of her city with stones, and she hath died, for she hath done folly in Israel, to go a-whoring [in] her father`s house; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.

²²Raha misy lehilahy azo mandry amim-behivavy vadin'olona, dia samy hatao maty izy roroa, na ralehilahy izay nandry tamin-dravehivavy, na ravehivavy koa; ka dia hofongoranao tsy ho eo amin'ny Isiraely ny fanao ratsy.

²²`When a man is found lying with a woman, married to a husband, then they have died even both of them, the man who is lying with the woman, also the woman; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of Israel.

²³Raha misy zazavavy virijina voafofo ho vadin'olona, ary misy lehilahy mahita azy eo an-tanàna ka mandry aminy,

²³`When there is a damsel, a virgin, betrothed to a man, and a man hath found her in a city, and lain with her;

²⁴dia ho entinareo mivoaka ho eo amin'ny vavahadin'izany tanàna izany izy roroa ka hotorahanareo vato ho faty: razazavavy moa, satria tsy niantso, nefa tao an-tanàna ihany; ary ralehilahy koa, satria nandry tamin'ny vadin'ny namany; ka dia hofongoranao tsy ho eo aminao ny fanao ratsy.

²⁴then ye have brought them both out unto the gate of that city, and stoned them with stones, and they have died: — the damsel, because that she hath not cried, [being] in a city; and the man, because that he hath humbled his neighbour`s wife; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.

²⁵Fa raha any an-tsaha kosa no ahitan-dralehilahy an-drazazavavy voafofo ho vadin'olona, ary misavika azy ralehilahy ka mandry aminy, dia ralehilahy izay nandry taminy ihany no hatao maty.

²⁵`And if in a field the man find the damsel who is betrothed, and the man hath laid hold on her, and lain with her, then hath the man who hath lain with her died alone;

²⁶Fa ravehivavy dia tsy hasianao na inona na inona; fa tsy misy ota tokony hahafaty azy; fa tahaka ny olona mitsangana hamely ny namany ka mahafaty azy no hevitr'izany zavatra izany.

²⁶and to the damsel thou dost not do anything, the damsel hath no deadly sin; for as a man riseth against his neighbour and hath murdered him — the life, so [is] this thing;

²⁷Fa tany an-tsaha no nahitany azy; ary niantso ihany razazavavy voafofo ho vadin'olona, nefa tsy nisy hamonjy azy.

²⁷for in a field he found her, she hath cried — the damsel who is betrothed — and she hath no saviour.

²⁸Raha misy lehilahy mahita zazavavy virijina, izay tsy voafofo ho vadin'olona, ka misavika azy sady mandry aminy, koa hita izy roroa,dia hanome sekely volafotsy dimam-polo ho an'ny rain-drazazavavy ralehilahy izay nandry taminy; ary hovadiny izy, satria efa nosavihiny sady nandriany; ary tsy azony hisaorana izy amin'ny andro rehetra hiainany.

²⁸`When a man findeth a damsel, a virgin who is not betrothed, and hath caught her, and lain with her, and they have been found,

²⁹dia hanome sekely volafotsy dimam-polo ho an'ny rain-drazazavavy ralehilahy izay nandry taminy; ary hovadiny izy, satria efa nosavihiny sady nandriany; ary tsy azony hisaorana izy amin'ny andro rehetra hiainany.

²⁹then hath the man who is lying with her given to the father of the damsel fifty silverlings, and to him she is for a wife; because that he hath humbled her, he is not able to send her away all his days.

³⁰`A man doth not take his father`s wife, nor uncover his father`s skirt.
