17 1No sacrifice give your Papa any cow or sheep wey get any defect or serious wound; dat kind ting na abomination for your Papa.
2If dem catch any man or woman among una, for any town wey your Papa dey give una, wey dey do evil for your Papa im eye by breaking im Covenant, 3and e serve oda gods, dey bow give dem—di sun, di moon, or any of di army for heaven—wey I no command, 4and dem tell you about am and you hear am, investigate am well well. If e be true, di matter sure, say dis abomination happen for Israel, 5den bring comot go your gate dat man or woman wey do dis evil ting—dat man or woman—and stone dem make dem die. 6For di mouth of two witness or three, di person wey dem condemn go die; e no fit die for di mouth of one witness alone. 7Di witness dem hand go dey on am first to kill am, den di hand of all di people. Na so you go comot di evil from among una.
Di Papa im Court of Justice
8If any case too hard for you to judge—between blood-shed and blood-shed, claim and claim, fight and fight, di quarrel wey dey for una town—stand up go di place wey your Papa go choose. 9Go meet di Levite priest dem and di judge wey dey serve dat time; ask, and dem go tell you di judgement. 10Do wetin dem tell you from di place wey our Papa choose; take care to do everyting wey dem teach you. 11Follow di instruction wey dem teach and di ruling wey dem give you; no turn from di word wey dem talk, to right or left. 12Anybody wey act with proud heart, wey refuse to hear di priest wey dey stand to serve dia before your Papa, or di judge, must die. You must comot di evil from Israel. 13And all di people go hear and go fear, and dem no go act with proud heart again.
Di Papa im Guideline for King
14When you enter di land wey your Papa dey give you, and you possess am, settle dia, and talk say, “Make I put king over me, like all di nations wey dey around me,” 15you fit truly put over you di king wey your Papa choose; put over you a king from among your brodas. You no fit put stranger over you, wey no be your broda. 16E no must gada plenty horse for imsef, or send di people go back Egypt to get more, because our Papa tell you, “Make you no go back dat road again.” 17E no must marry plenty wife, or im heart go turn comot; and e no must gada plenty silver and gold for imsef.
18When e sidon on im royal throne, e must write for imsef a copy of dis law for scroll, before di Levite priest dem. 19E must stay with am, and e must read from am all im life, so e go learn to fear im Papa, dey keep all di words of dis law and dis decree dem, dey do dem, 20so im heart no go rise pass im brodas, and e no go turn from di command to right or left, so e and im pikin dem go reign long over im kingdom for Israel.
