Mousese Ea Malasu 19
1 Hina Gode da dunu fi amo da wali soge amo E da dilima iaha amo ganodini esala, amo E da gugunufinisimu. Amasea, dilia da ilia moilai bai bagade amola ilia diasu huluane lale, amo ganodini fimu.
When the LORD your God has cut off the nations whose land He is giving you, and when you have driven them out and settled in their cities and houses,
then you are to set apart for yourselves three cities within the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.
3 Amo fa: no, dilia da amo soge fifili, soge udiana agoane ilegema. Amo udiana afae afae soge dogoa ganodini moilai bai bagade afae ilegema. Amasea, dunu da mae ougili giadofale dunu eno medole legesea, e da hehenane amo moilai bai bagade ganodini gaga: su ba: mu.
You are to build roads for yourselves and divide into three regions the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that any manslayer can flee to these cities.
4 Dunu afae da dunu eno ema ha lai dunu hame be dunu eno mae ougili giadofale medole legesea, e da amo moilaiga hobeale ahoasea, gaga: su ba: mu.
Now this is the situation regarding the manslayer who flees to one of these cities to save his life, having killed his neighbor accidentally, without intending to harm him:
5 Fedege sia: agoane, dunu aduna da iwilaga ifa aba ahoasea, afae da ifa abasea goahei ea dialuma da da: ba: ga duga: gala: le eno dunu medole legesea, ifa abasu dunu da hobeale Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade udiana amo afaega masunu da defea.
If he goes into the forest with his neighbor to cut timber and swings his axe to chop down a tree, but the blade flies off the handle and strikes and kills his neighbor, he may flee to one of these cities to save his life.
6 Moilai bai bagade udiana ilegemu da defea. Be moilai bai bagade afae fawane ilegesea, dunu da amoga hobeale ahoasea logo sedade ba: mu. Amasea, maga: me dabe imunu dunu da amo dunu baligisia, ougiba: le medole legemu. Be amo da defea hame. Bai amo dunu da ougiba: le o hanaiba: le ea na: iyado hame medole legei be mae ougili giadofale fawane medoi.
Otherwise, the avenger of blood might pursue the manslayer in a rage, overtake him if the distance is great, and strike him dead though he did not deserve to die, since he did not intend any harm.
7 Amaiba: le, na da dilima sia: sa. Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade udiana ilegema.
This is why I am commanding you to set apart for yourselves three cities.
8 Dilia Hina Gode da dilia aowalali ilima ilegele sia: i defele dilia soge bu bagade hamosea, amola dilima imunu ilegele sia: i soge huluane dilima i dagosea,
And if the LORD your God enlarges your territory, as He swore to your fathers, and gives you all the land He promised them,
9 dilia moilai bai bagade udiana eno ilegema. (Dilia da na sia: i liligi huluane noga: le nabasea amola dilia Hina Godema asigisia amola Ea olelesu defele esalea, E da amo soge dilima imunu.)
and if you carefully keep all these commandments I am giving you today, loving the LORD your God and walking in His ways at all times, then you are to add three more cities to these three.
10 Wadela: i hame hamosu dunu da udigili bogosa: besa: le, amola dilia da soge Hina Gode da dilima iaha amo ganodini wadela: i hame hamosu dunu udigili medole legesa: besa: le, Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilale bai bagade ilegema.
Thus innocent blood will not be shed in the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that you will not be guilty of bloodshed.
11 Be dunu afae da ougiba: le amola hanaiba: le ema ha lai dunu medole legesea amola ea maga: me da ahoa, amasea e da Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagadega hi esalusu gaga: musa: ahoasea,
If, however, a man hates his neighbor and lies in wait, attacks him and kills him, and then flees to one of these cities,
12 amo dunu hi moilai asigilai dunu ilia da e da ilima misa: ne sia: mu. Amasea, ilia da medole bogoi dunu amo ea fi dabe iasu dunu ema imunu. Amola amo dunu da fasu dunu medole legemu.
the elders of his city must send for him, bring him back, and hand him over to the avenger of blood to die.
13 Agoai dunuma mae asigima. Amo fasu dunu da Isala: ili fi ganodini esalumu hamedei. Dilia da hahawane hou ba: ma: ne, amo dunu medole legema.
You must show him no pity. You are to purge from Israel the guilt of shedding innocent blood, that it may go well with you.
14 Dilia na: iyado dunu ea soge alalo amo mae afadenema. Amo ilegei ilia da musa: hemonega soge amo dilia Hina Gode da dilima iaha amo ganodini hamosu.
You must not move your neighbor’s boundary marker, which was set up by your ancestors to mark the inheritance you shall receive in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.
15 Dunu afae fawane da ba: i dagoiba: le, dunu da wadela: le hamoi dagoi mae sia: ma. Ba: su dunu aduna o amo idi baligi ilia da wadela: i hou hamoi ba: i dagoi sia: sea fawane fofada: ma.
A lone witness is not sufficient to establish any wrongdoing or sin against a man, regardless of what offense he may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.
16 Be dunu afae da eno dunu gugunufinisimusa: , ogogole e da wadela: i hamoi dagoi sia: sea,
If a false witness testifies against someone, accusing him of a crime,
17 ela da Gode Ea ilegei sogebi amoga asili, gobele salasu dunu amola fofada: su dunu (amo esoga ilegei), ilia da amo dunu ilima fofada: mu.
both parties to the dispute must stand in the presence of the LORD, before the priests and judges who are in office at that time.
18 Fofada: su dunu da amo hou noga: le fofada: mu. Be amo dunu da ogogole ea na: iyado Isala: ili dunu amo wadela: musa: sia: i dagoi ba: sea,
The judges shall investigate thoroughly, and if the witness is proven to be a liar who has falsely accused his brother,
19 e da se nabasu amo se nabasu eno dunuma e da ogogoi defele lamu galu, amo lamu. Amasea, dilia da wadela: i hou fadegamu.
you must do to him as he intended to do to his brother. So you must purge the evil from among you.
20 Amo hou, dunu huluane da nabimu. Amasea, ilia da beda: iba: le, agoai wadela: i hou bu hamedafa ba: mu.
Then the rest of the people will hear and be afraid, and they will never again do anything so evil among you.
21 Amo hou amoma mae asigima. Dunu da eno dunu medole legesea, amo dunu medole legema. E da eno ea si wadela: sea, ea si amola wadela: ma. Eno ea bese gusia, ea bese guma. Eno ea emo wadela: sea, ea emo wadela: ma.
You must show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, and foot for foot.
