YLT
Young's Literal Translation
You
shall
not sacrifice to the
LORD
your
God an
ox or a
sheep with
any defect
or
serious
flaw,
for that
is detestable
to
the LORD
your
God.
`Thou
dost
not sacrifice to Jehovah
thy
God ox or sheep in
which
there
is
a
blemish
--
any evil
thing;
for it
`
is '
the abomination
of
Jehovah
thy
God.
If
a
man
or
woman
among
you
in one of the
towns
that
the
LORD
your
God gives
you
is found
doing
evil in the sight
of the
LORD
your
God by transgressing His covenant
`When
there
is
found
in thy
midst,
in
one of thy
cities
which
Jehovah
thy
God is giving
to
thee,
a
man
or
a
woman
who
doth
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah
thy
God by transgressing His covenant ,
and going
to
worship
other gods, bowing
down
to them or
to the sun or moon or any of the host of heaven—
which I have forbidden—
and he
doth
go
and
serve
other gods, and
doth
bow
himself
to them ,
and
to the sun ,
or to
the
moon ,
or to
any of the host of the
heavens,
which I have not
commanded
--
and if
it is
reported
and you
hear
about
it
, you
must
investigate
it
thoroughly.
If
the report
is true
and
such
an
abomination has
happened
in Israel ,
and it hath
been
declared
to
thee,
and thou
hast
heard
, and
hast
searched
diligently,
and
lo,
truth;
the thing
is established;
this
abomination hath
been
done
in Israel --
you
must
bring
out to
your
gates
the
man or woman who has
done this evil thing, and you
must
stone
that
person
to
death
.
`Then
thou
hast
brought
out that
man ,
or that
woman ,
who hath
done this evil thing, unto
thy
gates
--
the
man
or
the
woman
--
and thou
hast
stoned
them
with
stones,
and
they
have
died
.
On
the testimony
of two or three witnesses a
man
shall
be
put to death ,
but
he shall
not be
executed
on
the testimony
of a
lone
witness .
By
the mouth
of two witnesses
or of
three witnesses is
he
who
is
dead
put to death ;
he is
not put
to
death
by
the mouth
of one
witness ;
The hands
of the witnesses shall
be
the first in
putting
him to death, and after
that,
the hands
of all the people .
So
you
must
purge
the evil from
among
you
.
the hand
of the witnesses is
on
him,
in
the first place,
to
put
him to death, and the hand
of all the people last;
and
thou
hast
put
away
the evil thing
out
of
thy
midst
.
If
a
case
is too difficult
for you
to
judge
, whether
the
controversy
within
your
gates
is
regarding
bloodshed
, lawsuits
, or
assaults
, you
must
go
up to
the place the
LORD
your
God will
choose.
`When
anything
is too hard
for thee
for
judgment
, between
blood
and
blood
, between
plea
and
plea
, and
between
stroke
and
stroke
--
matters
of
strife
within
thy
gates
--
then
thou
hast
risen
, and
gone
up unto
the place on
which
Jehovah
thy
God doth
fix,
You
are
to
go
to
the Levitical
priests and to
the judge who presides
at
that
time.
Inquire
of
them
, and they will
give
you
a
verdict
in
the case.
and
hast
come
in
unto
the priests ,
the
Levites,
and unto
the judge who is
in
those
days
, and hast
inquired,
and
they have
declared
to
thee
the word
of
judgment,
You
must
abide
by
the verdict
they
give
you
at
the place the
LORD
will
choose .
Be
careful
to do everything
they instruct
you,
and
thou
hast
done
according
to
the tenor
of
the word
which
they
declare
to
thee
(`they'
of
that
place which
Jehovah
doth
choose ;
and
thou
hast
observed
to do according
to
all
that
they direct
thee.
according to the terms
of law they give
and the verdict
they proclaim.
Do not turn aside to
the
right
or
to
the
left
from the decision
they declare to you
.
`
According to the tenor
of the
law which
they direct
thee,
and according
to
the judgment
which
they say
to
thee
thou
dost
do ;
thou
dost
not turn aside from the word
which
they declare to thee,
right
or
left
.
But
the man who acts
presumptuously
, refusing
to
listen
either
to the priest who stands
there
to serve the
LORD
your
God, or to
the judge, must
be
put to
death.
You
must
purge
the evil from Israel .
And
the man who acteth
with
presumption
, so
as
not
to hearken
unto
the priest (
who is
standing
to serve there
Jehovah
thy
God )
, or unto
the judge, even
that
man
hath
died,
and
thou
hast
put away
the evil thing
from Israel ,
Then
all the people will
hear and be
afraid
, and will
no
longer
behave
arrogantly
.
and
all the people do
hear and fear
, and do
not
presume
any
more
.
When you
enter
the land that
the
LORD
your
God is giving you
and have
taken
possession
of
it and settled
in it, and you
say
, “
Let us
set a king over
us
like all the nations around
us
, ”
`
When thou
comest
in
unto
the land which
Jehovah
thy
God is giving to
thee,
and hast
possessed
it ,
and dwelt
in it, and thou
hast
said
, Let me
set over
me
a king like all the nations which
`are'
round
about
me
, --
you
are
to
appoint
over yourselves
the
king whom the LORD
your
God
shall
choose.
Appoint
a king from
among
your
brothers
; you
are
not to set over yourselves
a foreigner
who is not one
of
your
brothers
.
thou
dost
certainly
set
over thee
a
king on
whom Jehovah
doth
fix;
from
the midst
of
thy
brethren
thou
dost
set
over
thee
a king; thou
art
not able
to set over thee
a stranger,
who is not thy
brother
.
But
the
king
must
not acquire
many
horses
for
himself or
send
the people back to Egypt to acquire
more
horses, for
the
LORD
has
said ,
‘
You are
never
to go
back that
way again
. ’
`Only,
he
doth
not multiply
to
himself horses,
nor
cause
the people to
turn
back to Egypt ,
so
as
to multiply
horses, seeing
Jehovah
hath
said to
you ,
Ye
do
not
add
to turn
back in
this
way any
more
.
He must
not take
many
wives
for
himself, lest
his heart go
astray.
He
must
not accumulate
for
himself
large
amounts
of
silver and gold.
And
he doth
not multiply
to
himself wives
, and
his heart doth
not turn
aside,
and
silver and gold he
doth
not
multiply
to
himself
--
exceedingly
.
When he is
seated
on his
royal
throne, he must
write
for himself a
copy of this instruction
on a scroll
in
the
presence
of
the Levitical
priests .
`And
it
hath
been,
when he sitteth
on the
throne of
his
kingdom
, that
he hath
written
for himself the
copy of this law,
on a book,
from
`that'
before
the priests the
Levites,
It is
to
remain
with him, and he is
to
read from
it all the
days of his life, so that he may
learn to fear the
LORD
his God by
carefully
observing
all the words of this instruction
and these statutes .
and
it hath
been
with him, and he hath
read in
it all days of his life, so that he doth
learn to fear Jehovah
his God ,
to
keep
all the words of this law,
and these statutes ,
to
do
them;
Then
his heart will
not be
exalted
above his countrymen
, and he
will
not turn aside from the commandment
, to
the
right or to
the
left, in
order
that he and
his
sons
may
reign
many
years
over his kingdom in Israel.
so
that
his heart is
not high
above his brethren
, and so
as
not to
turn aside from the command
, right or left, so
that he prolongeth
days
over his kingdom ,
he
and
his
sons,
in the
midst
of
Israel.
