Teutalonome 21

1“If in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess someone is found slain, lying in the open country, and it is not known who killed him,

1“KAPAU ʻoku ʻilo ha tokotaha kuo tāmateʻi ʻi he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ke maʻu, kuo tuku ʻi he ngoue, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo pe ko hai kuo ne tāmateʻi ia:

2then your elders and your judges shall come out, and they shall measure the distance to the surrounding cities.

2‌ʻE toki haʻu ai hoʻo kau mātuʻa mo hoʻo kau fakamaau, pea tenau fakafuofua ki he ngaahi kolo ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻiate ia kuo fakapoongi:

3And the elders of the city that is nearest to the slain man shall take a heifer that has never been worked and that has not pulled in a yoke.

3Pea ʻe pehē, ʻilonga ʻae kolo ʻoku ofi ki he tangata kuo tāmateʻi, ʻio ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo ko ia, tenau ʻomi ha pulu fefine mui ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ngāueʻaki, pea naʻe ʻikai toho meʻa ʻi ha haʻamonga;

4And the elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley.

4Pea ʻe ʻomi ʻe he kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo ko ia ʻae pulu fefine mui ki ha teleʻa tokakovi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai keli pe tō, pea ʻe tutuʻu ai ʻae ʻulu ʻoe pulu fefine mui ʻi he teleʻa.

5Then the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come forward, for the LORD your God has chosen them to minister to him and to bless in the name of the LORD, and by their word every dispute and every assault shall be settled.

5Pea ʻe haʻu ʻo ofi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Livai: he kuo fili ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke tauhi kiate ia, pea ke fai ʻae tāpuaki ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova: pea ʻe fakamaauʻaki ʻenau lea ʻae fakakikihi kotoa pē mo e tā kotoa pē:

6And all the elders of that city nearest to the slain man shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley,

6Pea ko e kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻoe kolo ko ia, ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ofi ki he tangata kuo tāmateʻi, tenau fanofano honau nima ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he pulu fefine mui ʻaia kuo tutuʻu hono ʻulu ʻi he teleʻa:

7and they shall testify, ‘Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it shed.

7Pea tenau lea ʻo pehē, ‘Naʻe ʻikai lilingi ʻe homau nima ʻae toto ni, pea naʻe ʻikai mamata homau mata ki ai.

8Accept atonement, O LORD, for your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and do not set the guilt of innocent blood in the midst of your people Israel, so that their blood guilt be atoned for.’

8Ke ke ʻaloʻofa, ʻE Sihova, ki ho kakai ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo ke huhuʻi, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻae hia ʻoe toto māʻoniʻoni ki ho kakai ʻIsileli. Pea ʻe fakamolemole ʻae toto kiate kinautolu.’

9So you shall purge the guilt of innocent blood from your midst, when you do what is right in the sight of the LORD.

9‌ʻE pehē ʻa hoʻomou tukuange ai meiate kimoutolu ʻae hia ʻoe toto māʻoniʻoni, ʻoka ke ka fai ʻaia ʻoku totonu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

10“When you go out to war against your enemies, and the LORD your God gives them into your hand and you take them captive,

10“ʻOka ke ka ʻalu atu ki he tau ki ho ngaahi fili, pea tuku mai ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki ho nima, pea kuo ke maʻu pōpula ʻakinautolu,

11and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you desire to take her to be your wife,

11Pea ʻoku ke mamata ʻi he kau pōpula ki ha fefine hoihoifua, pea ʻoku ke tokanga kiate ia koeʻuhi ke hoko ia ko ho ʻunoho:

12and you bring her home to your house, she shall shave her head and pare her nails.

12pehē, te ke ʻomi ia ki ʻapi ki ho fale: pea te ne tekefua ia, pea fakanounou hono ngeʻesinima.

13And she shall take off the clothes in which she was captured and shall remain in your house and lament her father and her mother a full month. After that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.

13Pea ʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae kofu ʻo ʻene pōpula ʻiate ia, pea ʻe nofo ia ʻi ho fale, pea ʻe tēngihia ʻe ia ʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē ʻi he māhina kātoa ʻe taha: pea hili ia, ʻe ngofua hoʻo toki ʻalu kiate ia, ʻo hoko ko hono ʻunoho, pea ʻe hoko ia ko ho ʻunoho ʻoʻou.

14But if you no longer delight in her, you shall let her go where she wants. But you shall not sell her for money, nor shall you treat her as a slave, since you have humiliated her.

14Pea ʻe pehē, kapau ʻoku ʻikai te ke fiemālie siʻi ʻiate ia, te ke toki tukuange ia ke ʻalu ʻo faʻiteliha pe ia; ka ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ke fakatauʻaki ia ʻae paʻanga, ke ʻoua naʻa ke meʻa fakatauʻaki ia, koeʻuhi kuo ke fakavaivaiʻi ia.

15“If a man has two wives, the one loved and the other unloved, and both the loved and the unloved have borne him children, and if the firstborn son belongs to the unloved,

15“Kapau ʻoku maʻu ʻae ʻunoho ʻe ua ʻe ha tangata, ko e ʻofeina ʻae taha ka ko e fehiʻanekina ʻae taha, pea kuo na fānau fakatouʻosi pe kiate ia, ʻae ʻofeina mo e fehiʻanekina; pea kapau ko e ʻuluaki foha ko e tama ia ʻo ia ʻoku fehiʻanekina:

16then on the day when he assigns his possessions as an inheritance to his sons, he may not treat the son of the loved as the firstborn in preference to the son of the unloved, who is the firstborn,

16Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fai ke fakahoko hono ngaahi foha ke maʻu ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻana, ʻoku ʻikai lelei ke ngaohi ʻae tama ʻae ʻofeina ke ʻuluaki ia ʻo tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he tama ʻae fehiʻanekina, ʻaia ko e ʻuluaki fānau moʻoni :

17but he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the unloved, by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the firstfruits of his strength. The right of the firstborn is his.

17Ka ʻe fakahā ʻe ia ʻae tama ʻae fehiʻanekina ko e ʻuluaki tupu, ʻi heʻene ʻatu kiate ia ʻae vāhenga ʻe ua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne maʻu, he ko e kamataʻanga ia ʻo hono mālohi; ʻoku ʻaʻana pe ʻae lelei ʻoe ʻuluaki tupu.

18“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them,

18“Kapau ʻoku maʻu ʻe ha tangata ha foha ʻoku paongataʻa mo angatuʻu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito fai talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo ʻene tamai, pe ki he leʻo ʻo ʻene faʻē, pea ʻi heʻena tautea ia, ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ia kiate kinaua:

19then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives,

19‌ʻE toki puke ia ʻe heʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē, ʻo ʻomi ia kituʻa ki he kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo, pea ki he matapā ʻo honau potu;

20and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’

20Pea te na pehē ki he kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo, ‘Ko homa foha ko eni ʻoku paongataʻa mo angatuʻu, ʻoku ʻikai tui ia ki heʻema fekau: ko e ʻuakai ia mo e konā.’

21Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

21Pea ʻe tolongaki ia ʻe he kau tangata kotoa pē ʻa hono kolo ʻaki ʻae maka, ke mate ai ia: ʻe pehē pe hoʻo motuhi ai ʻae kovi meiate kimoutolu; pea ʻe fanongo ki ai ʻe ʻIsileli kotoa pē, pea manavahē.

22“And if a man has committed a crime punishable by death and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree,

22“Pea kapau kuo fai angahala ʻe ha tangata ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke mate ai ia, pea kuo tonu ke tāmateʻi ia, pea ʻoku ke tautau ia ki he ʻakau:

23his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall bury him the same day, for a hanged man is cursed by God. You shall not defile your land that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance.

23‌ʻE ʻikai tuku hono sino ʻi he ʻakau ʻi he pō ʻo ʻaho, ka te ke tanu moʻoni ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: (he ko ia kuo tautau ko e malaʻia ia ʻi he ʻOtua;) koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa halaia ho fonua, ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe ko ho tofiʻa.
