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.

¹If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgment, and the judges judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked;

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.

²and it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his wickedness, by number.

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.

³Forty stripes he may give him, he shall not exceed; lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then your brother should seem vile to you.

⁴Aza manakombona ny vavan'ny omby mively vary.

⁴You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.

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.

⁵If brothers dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger: her husband’s brother shall go in to her, and take her to him as wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her.

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

⁶It shall be, that the firstborn whom she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name not be blotted out of Israel.

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.

⁷If the man doesn’t want to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate to the elders, and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to raise up to his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband’s brother to me.”

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

⁸Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him: and if he stand, and say, “I don’t want to take her”;

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.

⁹then his brother’s wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say, “So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother’s house.”

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

¹⁰His name shall be called in Israel, The house of him who has his shoe untied.

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,

¹¹When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him who strikes him, and puts forth her hand, and takes him by the secrets;

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

¹²then you shall cut off her hand, your eye shall have no pity.

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

¹³You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, a great and a small.

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

¹⁴You shall not have in your house diverse measures, a great and a small.

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.

¹⁵You shall have a perfect and just weight. You shall have a perfect and just measure, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.

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

¹⁶For all who do such things, all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to Yahweh your God.

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

¹⁷Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came forth out of Egypt;

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.

¹⁸how he met you by the way, and struck the hindmost of you, all who were feeble behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he didn’t fear God.

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.

¹⁹Therefore it shall be, when Yahweh your God has given you rest from all your enemies all around, in the land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky; you shall not forget.
