Exodus 23

Aza manangan-tsaho foana. Aza mifandray tanana amin'ny ratsy fanahy ho vavolombelona mampidi-doza.

Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

Aza manaraka ny maro hanao ratsy; ary aza mamaly ny amin'ny adin'olona hivily hanaraka ny maro hamadika ny rariny.

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:

Aza mandravaka ny tenin'ny malahelo eo amin'ny fandaharan-teniny ianao.

Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.

Raha hitanao mania ny ombin'ny fahavalonao, na ny borikiny, dia avereno any aminy mihitsy izany.

If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.

Raha hitanao ny borikin'izay mankahala anao mihonaka ao ambanin'ny entany, dia aza malaina hamonjy azy ianao, fa manampia ny namanao hamaha azy tokoa.

If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.

Aza mamily ny rariny izay ananan'ny malahelo ao aminao, raha manana ady izy.

Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.

Manalavira izay teny lainga, ary aza mamono izay tsy manan-tsiny sy izay marina ianao; fa tsy hanamarina ny meloka Aho.

Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

Ary aza mandray kolikoly, fa ny kolikoly mahajamba ny mason'ny mahiratra sy mamadika ny tenin'ny marina.

And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

Ary aza mampahory vahiny, fa ianareo mahalala ny fon'ny vahiny, satria efa mba vahiny tany amin'ny tany Egypta ihany ianareo.

Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Ary enin-taona no hamafazanao amin'ny taninao sy hanangonanao ny vokatra;

And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:

fa amin'ny taona fahafito kosa dia hatsahatrao tsy hovolena izy, mba hisy hohanin'ny malahelo amin'ny firenenao; ary izay sisan'ireo dia mba hohanin'ny biby any an-tsaha kosa. Toy izany koa no hataonao amin'ny tanim-boalobokao sy amin'ny tanin'olivanao.

But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.

Henemana no hanaovanao ny raharahanao; fa amin'ny andro fahafito dia hitsahatra ianao, mba hialan'ny ombinao sy ny borikinao sasatra, ary mba hakan'ny zanaky ny ankizivavinao sy ny vahiny aina.

Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.

Ary tandremo izay rehetra nolazaiko taminareo, ka aza manonona ny anaran'andriamani-kafa akory ianareo; aza avela ho re avy amin'ny vavanao izany.

And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

Intelo isan-kerintaona no hanaovanao andro firavoravoana ho Ahy.

Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.

Tandremo ny andro firavoravoana fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira; hafitoana no hihinananao ny mofo tsy misy masirasira, araka izay nandidiako anao, amin'ny fotoan'andro amin'ny volana Abiba, fa tamin'izany no nivoahanao avy tany Egypta; ary aoka tsy hisy hiseho foana tsy mitondra fanatitra eo anatrehako.

Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)

Ary tandremo koa ny andro firavoravoana amin'ny fijinjana ny voaloham-bokatry ny asanao, izay nafafinao tany an-tsaha, sy ny andro firavoravoana amin'ny fanangonana amin'ny faran'ny taona, raha manangona ny vokatry ny asanao avy any an-tsaha ianao.

And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

Dia intelo isan-kerintaona no hisehoan'ny lehilahy rehetra aminareo eo anatrehan'i Jehovah Tompo.

Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.

Aza manatitra ny ran'ny zavatra vonoina hatao fanatitra ho Ahy ianao, raha mbola misy masirasira ao aminao; ary aza avela ho tra-maraina ny saboran'ny zavatra vonoina amin'ny andro firavoravoana ho Ahy.

Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.

Ny santatry ny voaloham-bokatry ny taninao dia ho entinao ao an-tranon'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao. Aza mahandro zanak'osy amin'ny rononon-dreniny.

The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

Indro, Izaho maniraka Anjely eo alohanao hiaro anao any an-dalana sy hitondra anao ho any amin'ny fitoerana izay namboariko.

Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

Mitandrema eo anatrehany, ka mihainoa ny feony, ary aza mampahatezitra Azy; fa tsy hamela ny fahotanareo Izy; fa ny anarako no ao aminy.

Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

Fa raha hihaino ny feony tokoa ianao ka hanao izay rehetra lazaiko, dia ho fahavalon'ny fahavalonao sy ho rafin'ny rafinao Aho.

But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

Fa handeha eo alohanao ny Anjeliko ka hitondra anao any amin'ny Amorita sy ny Hetita sy ny Perizita sy ny Kananita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita; ary dia hofongorako ireny,

For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.

Aza miankohoka eo anatrehan'ny andriamanitr'ireny ianao, na manompo azy, na manao araka ny ataony; fa aringano tokoa izy, ary torotoroy tokoa ny tsangam-baton-tsampiny.

Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.

Fa manompoa an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, dia hitahy ny haninao sy ny ranonao Izy; ary hesoriko aminao ny aretina.

And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

Tsy hisy ho afa-jaza na ho momba ao amin'ny taninao; hotanterahiko ny isan'ny andronao.

There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

Hampandeha ny fahatahorana Ahy eo alohanao Aho ka hampifanaritaka ny firenena rehetra izay alehanao, ary hampiamboho ny fahavalonao rehetra anao Aho.

I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.

Ary hampandeha fanenitra eo alohanao Aho, ka handroaka ny Hivita sy ny Kananita ary ny Hetita eo alohanao ireny.

And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

Tsy handroaka azy eo alohanao amin'ny taona iray Aho, fandrao ho lao ny tany, ka hihamaro hamely anao ny bibi-dia.

I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

Tsikelikely no handroahako azy eo alohanao mandra-pahamaronao ka handova ny tany.

By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

Ary hatramin'ny Ranomasina Mena ka hatramin'ny ranomasin'ny Filistina no hataoko fari-taninao, ary hatramin'ny efitra ka hatramin'ny Ony; fa hanolotra ny mponina amin'ny tany ho eo an-tananareo Aho; ary handroaka azy eo alohanao ianao.

And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

Aza manao fanekena aminy na amin'ny andriamaniny ianao.

Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

Tsy honina eo amin'ny taninao ireny, fandrao hampanota anao amiko; fa raha manompo ny andriamaniny ianao, dia ho fandrika aminao tokoa izany,

They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
