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 nations, whose land the Lord your God is giving you, have been cut off by him, and you have taken their place and are living in their towns and in their houses;
You are to have three towns marked out in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage.
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 make ready a way, and see that the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, is marked out into three parts, to which any taker of life may go in flight.
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.
This is to be the rule for anyone who goes in flight there, after causing the death of his neighbour in error and not through hate;
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.
For example, if a man goes into the woods with his neighbour for the purpose of cutting down trees, and when he takes his axe to give a blow to the tree, the head of the axe comes off, and falling on to his neighbour gives him a wound causing his death; then the man may go in flight to one of these towns and be safe:
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.
For if not, he who has the right of punishment may go running after the taker of life in the heat of his wrath, and overtake him because the way is long, and give him a death-blow; though it is not right for him to be put to death because he was not moved by hate.
7 Amaiba: le, na da dilima sia: sa. Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade udiana ilegema.
And so I am ordering you to see that three towns are marked out for this purpose.
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 makes wide the limits of your land, as he said in his oath to your fathers, and gives you all the land which he undertook to give to your fathers;
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.)
If you keep and do all these orders which I give you today, loving the Lord your God and walking ever in his ways; then let three more towns, in addition to these three, be marked out for you:
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.
So that in all your land, which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, no man may be wrongly put to death, for which you will be responsible.
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,
But if any man has hate for his neighbour, and waiting for him secretly makes an attack on him and gives him a blow causing his death, and then goes in flight to one of these towns;
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 responsible men of his town are to send and take him, and give him up to the one who has the right of punishment to be put to death.
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.
Have no pity on him, so that Israel may be clear from the crime of putting a man to death without cause, and it will be well for 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.
Your neighbour's landmark, which was put in its place by the men of old times, is not to be moved or taken away in the land of your heritage which the Lord your God is giving you.
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.
One witness may not make a statement against a man in relation to any sin or wrongdoing which he has done: on the word of two or three witnesses a question is to be judged.
16 Be dunu afae da eno dunu gugunufinisimusa: , ogogole e da wadela: i hamoi dagoi sia: sea,
If a false witness makes a statement against a man, saying that he has done wrong,
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.
Then the two men, between whom the argument has taken place, are to come before the Lord, before the priests and judges who are then in power;
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,
And the judges will have the question looked into with care: and if the witness is seen to be false and to have made a false statement against 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.
Then do to him what it was his purpose to do to his brother: and so put away 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.
And the rest of the people, hearing of it, will be full of fear, and never again do such 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.
Have no pity; let life be given for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
