Yosiua 20

1 Amalalu, Hina Gode da Yosiuama amane sia: i,

And Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,

2 “Isala: ili dunuma amane sia: ma, ‘Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade amo Na da Mousese e da dilima alofele olelema: ne sia: i, amo ilegema.

Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint for yourselves the cities of refuge, whereof I spoke unto you through Moses,

3 Nowa dunu da mae ougili giadofale eno dunu fane legesea, e da maga: me dabe iasu dunu amoga medole legesa: besa: le, amo Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagadega hobeamu da defea.

that the slayer who unwittingly without intent smiteth any one mortally may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.

4 E da Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade afae amoga hobeale asili, fofada: su sogebi amo moilai bai bagade ea logo holeiga asili, moilai bai bagade ouligisu dunu ilima hou da ema doaga: i olelemu. Amasea, ilia da ema logo doasili, e amo moilai bai bagade ganodini esaloma: ne, ea golasu hogomu.

And he shall flee unto one of those cities and stand at the entrance of the city-gate, and shall declare his matter in the ears of the elders of that city; and they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.

5 Be maga: me dabe lamu dunu da ema fa: no bobogele, amo moilai bai bagadega doaga: sea, Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade fi dunu da gaga: i dunu amo dabe lamu dunuma hame imunu. Ilia da amo dunu gaga: mu. Bai e da mae ougili, hame dawa: iwane amo dunu mae ougili giadofale medole legei.

And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; for he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not previously.

6 E da amo Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade ganodini esalu, dunu huluane ba: ma: ne fofada: sea amola Gobele salasu Ouligisu dunu da bogosea, e da hi moilai amoga e da hobea: i, amoga buhagimu da defea.’”

And he shall dwell in that city, until he have stood before the assembly in judgment, until the death of the high-priest that shall be in those days; then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled.

7 Amaiba: le, ilia da Yodane Hano eso dabe la: idi, Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade udiana ilegei. Amo da Gidese (Ga: lili soge ganodini Na: fadalai agolo sogega galu), Siegeme (Ifala: ime agolo soge ganodini) amola Hibalone (Yuda agolo soge ganodini.)

And they hallowed Kedesh in Galilee in the hill-country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and Kirjath-Arba, that is, Hebron, in the hill-country of Judah.

8 Yodane Hano eso mabadi la: idi, ilia hafoga: i soge Yeligou eso mabadi la: idiga galu, amoga Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade udiana ilegei. Amo da Bise (Liubene ea soge ganodini), La: imode (Gilia: de soge ganodini - amo da Ga: de fi ilia soge) amola Goula: ne (Ba: isa: ne sogebi ganodini - amo da Ma: na: se fi ilia soge).

And beyond the Jordan from Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness, in the plateau, out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan of the tribe of Manasseh.

9 Amo da Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade ilegei, Isala: ili dunu o ga fi ilia fi ganodini esalu amo gaga: musa: Nowa dunu da mae hanaiwane, mae ougili dunu eno giadofale fane legesea, e da maga: me dabe iasu dunuma gaga: musa: amo moilaiga masa: mu. Amo dunu da maga: me dabe iasu dunu amoga medole legemu da hamedei. E da dunu huluane ba: ma: ne fofada: sea, hi da hi hanaiga medole legei amo ba: sea fawane hame gaga: mu.

These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever smiteth any one mortally without intent might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the assembly.
