Idisu 35
1 Isala: ili dunu da Moua: be umi sogega esalu. Yodane Hano da ilima guma: dini ba: i amola Yeligou moilai bai bagade da hano guma: dini dialu. Moua: be umiga, Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i,
Yahweh told this to Moses/me [while the Israeli people were] on the plain in the Moab region near the Jordan [River], across from Jericho:
2 “Isala: ili dunuma adoma. Ilia soge amola liligi lai amoga ilia da moilai mogili amola ohega ha: i manu soge amo moilai sisiga: le diala, amo Lifai dunu da amogawi esaloma: ne, ilima sagoma: ne sia: ma.
“Tell the Israeli people that from the land that they will receive, they must give to the descendants of Levi some cities in which they can live. They must also give them some land around these cities.
3 Lifai dunu da amo moilai gagulaligimu amola ilia da amo ganodini esalumu. Ilia da ohega ha: i manu soge ilia bulamagau amola eno ohe fofoi amo ganodini laloma: ne gagulaligimu.
Those will be for the descendants of Levi to live in, and around the cities will be land for their cattle and flocks of sheep and goats and other animals.
4 Ohega ha: i manu soge da moilai gagoi amoga muni, gadili asili, 450 mida defei la: ididili amola la: ididili masa: ne ba: mu.
“The land that you give them for their animals must extend out for (1,500 feet/450 meters) from the walls of the cities.
5 Amasea, amo alalo defei da hegomai biyaduyale ba: mu. Amola la: idi defei biyaduyale afae afae ea defei da 900 mida ba: mu. Amola moilai bai bagade da amo sogebi ea dogoadafa ba: mu.
Also measure (3,000 feet/900 meters) in each direction out from the walls of each city. That additional land will be land for their animals outside the walls of the cities.”
6 Dilia Lifai dunu ilima Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade gafeyale gala ima. Amogawi, dunu da eno dunu momabo giadofale medole legesea, e da amo Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagadega hobeale ahoasea, gaga: i dagoi ba: mu. Amola, dilia Lifai dunu ilima moilai bai bagade 42 eno ima.
“Six of the cities that you give to the descendants of Levi will be cities to which people [can run] to be safe. If someone [accidentally] kills someone else, the one who killed that person may run to one of those cities to be safe.
7 Amola gilisili, amo moilai bai bagade ilia ohega ha: i manu soge ilima ima. Ilima iasu huluane da moilai bai bagade 48 agoane ba: mu.
You must also give to the descendants of Levi 42 other cities and the land around those cities, for their animals,
8 Dilia Isala: ili fi afae afae ilia soge ganodini, Lifai dunu ilima moilai bai bagade ima. Soge bagade amo ganodini, moilai bai bagade bagohame ima. Soge fonobahadi amo ganodini, moilai bai bagade bagahame ima.
The Israeli tribes that have the most people must give them more cities than the tribes that have fewer people give. Each tribe must give some of its cities to the descendants of Levi, but the tribes that have more land must give more cities, and the tribes that have less land will give fewer cities.”
9 Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
10 “Isala: ili dunuma amane sia: ma, ‘Dilia Yodane Hano degele, Ga: ina: ne sogega dasea,
“Tell this to the Israeli people: When you cross the Jordan [River] and enter the Canaan [region],
11 Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade amogawi dunu da eno dunu momabo giadofale fane legesea, amoga hobeamusa: ilegema.
you must choose some cities to which people can run to be safe/protected. If someone kills another person (accidentally/without planning to do that), the one who killed that person may run to one of those cities and be safe.
12 Amogawi, e da bogoi dunu ea maga: me dabe imunu fi dunu amoga gaga: su ba: mu. Dunu da eno dunu medole legesea, amo dunu huluane ba: ma: ne mae fofada: ne medole legemu da sema bagade.
One of the relatives of the person who was killed may think he must avenge his relative’s death [by killing the murderer]. But in that city, the killer will be safe [because the people in that city would kill those relatives if they tried to get revenge there]. The man who killed someone accidentally [must] be put on trial in a court.
13 Moilai bai bagade gafeyale gala amo ilegema.
You must set apart six cities to be cities to which someone who killed another person accidentally may run and be safe.
14 Moilai bai bagade udiana amo Yodane Hano gusudili ilegema. Amola moilai bai bagade udiana eno Yodane Hano guma: dini ilegema.
There must be three of those cities on the east side of the Jordan [River] and three that will be [on the west side], in the Canaan region.
15 Amo moilai bai bagade ilia da Isala: ili dunudafa amola ga fi dunu (amo da Isala: ili soge ganodini dafawane fi esala o sofe misi fawane esala) amo ilima Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade dialebe ba: mu. Nowa da momabo giadofale eno dunu fane legesea, e da amo moilai bai bagade amoga hobeale masunu logo ba: mu.
Those six cities will be cities where Israeli people may run to and be safe, and where foreigners and other people who are living among you can also run to and be safe. Any of those people who accidentally kills someone may run to one of those cities [and be safe/protected there].
16 Be dunu afae da gegesu liligi (gula o gele o ifaga hamoi) amoga dunu eno fane legesea, e da fasudafa hou hamobeba: le, dilia amo dunu fane legema.
“But [you must consider that] anyone who kills another person with an iron weapon or with a big rock or with a piece of wood, is a murderer, and the one who killed the other person must be executed.
19 Bogoi dunu ea sosogo fi gadenene esalebe dunu da amo fane legesu dunuma dabe fane legema: ne sia: ma. E da amo fasu dunu ba: sea, fane legemu da defea.
A relative of the person who was murdered must be the one who executes the murderer as soon as he finds him.
20 Dunu afae da eno dunu higabeba: le, amo dunu gisalu gala: le o igi o ifaga gala: le medole legesea, e da fasudafa hamobeba: le, dilia medole legema.
If someone shoves another person [over a cliff] or throws something at another person
21 O e da lobo usunawene fabeba: le, eno dunu medole legesea, e da fasudafa hamobeba: le, amo dunu medole legema. Bogoi dunu ea sosogo fi gadenenedafa esalebe dunu da amo fasu dunu medole legema: ne sia: ma. E da amo fasu dunu ba: sea, fane legemu da defea.
or hits that person with his hand/fist and causes that person to die, if he did it because he hated that person, then you must consider that he is a murderer, and must be executed. A relative of the person who was killed must be the one who executes the murderer as soon as he finds him.
22 Be dunu da eno dunuma mae higale amola momabo giadofale amo dunu gisalu gala: sea o igi o ifaga gala: le medole legesea,
“But someone might accidentally shove someone else, or accidentally throw something at another person and hit him, not because he hates that person.
23 o e da eno dunu mae ba: le, e da igi galagaiga dunu amo da ea ha lai hame, e da ema se imunu hame hanai, amo dunu momabo giadofale medole legesea,
Or he might drop a rock on someone that he did not see. If the one who does that does not plan to hurt anyone and does not hate the person that was killed,
24 agoai hou ba: sea, Isala: ili dunu da ilima fofada: sea, ilia da momabo giadofale fasu dunu gaga: mu. Amola maga: me dabe imunu dunuma amo dunu mae medole legema: ne sia: ma: mu.
the people of that city must decide whether the relative of the dead person [has the right to get revenge], or whether the one who killed the other person [truly did it (accidentally/without planning to do it)].
25 Isala: ili fi dunu huluane da bogoi dunu ea gadenene fi esalebe dunu amo momabo giadofale medole legesu dunu mae medoma: ne, amo gaga: ma: ne sia: ma. Be ilia da amo dunu Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade amoga e da hobea: i, amoga bu oule masa: ne sia: ma. Amogawi e da esalumu. Gobele salasu Ouligisu Dunu, (amo esoga hawa: hamonana dunu), e da bogosea fawane yolesimu.
[If they decide that the killer planned to kill the other person, they must not allow him to stay in their city. But if they decide that it was done accidentally], they must protect the killer from being killed by the dead person’s relative. They must send the killer to one of the cities where he will be safe/protected, and allow him to stay there until the Supreme Priest dies. [After that, the killer may go back to his home, because the dead person’s relative no longer has the right to get revenge].
26 Be momabo giadofale fane legesu dunu da Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade (amoga e da hobea: i), amo udigili yolesisia,
“But [while the Supreme Priest is still living], the person who is in that safe city must not leave that city.
27 amola bogoi dunu ea gadenene fi esalebe dabesu dunu da amo dunu ba: beba: le, e medole legesea, amo dabe iasu da fane legesudafa agoane hame ba: mu.
If he goes outside the city, and if a relative of the dead person finds him, that relative is permitted to kill that person, [and people will not consider that the relative is guilty of murder.]
28 Momabo gaidofale fane legesu dunu da dafawane Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade ganodini esalebe da gadili mae asili esaloma: mu. Gobele salasu Ouligisu Dunu da bogoi dagoiba: le fawane, e da Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade yolesili, hi diasuga buhagima: mu.
The killer must stay in that city where he will be safe/protected until the Supreme Priest dies. [He will be safe from revenge after that, because the death of the Supreme Priest will be considered to be a sacrifice to atone for that murder]. After that, the killer may return to his home.
29 Amo malasu da dilia amola diligaga fi, dilia habidili esalea, amo hamoma: ne hamoi dagoi.
“You must always obey those regulations, wherever you live.
30 Dunu da fane legesu hou hamosea, dilia fofada: lalu, ba: su dunu adunaga o osea: iga dafawane ilia ba: i dagoi sia: amo nababeba: le fawane, amo dunu medole legema. Ba: su dunu afaega fawane nabi sia: sea, dilia amo dunu medole legemu da hamedei.
“If someone [is accused of] killing another person, the one who is accused may be executed only if there are people who saw him do it. There must be more than one witness; no one is permitted to be executed if there was only one (witness/person who saw him do it).
31 Be fane legesu dunu ea se iasu da e medole legemu fawane. E da bidi subiba: le, amo yolesimu da hamedei.
“If there is a murderer who truly should be executed, do not [spare his life by] accepting (a ransom/money for him not to be killed). He must be executed.
32 Amola Isala: ili dunu da Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade amoga hobea: i ba: sea, amola e da gobele salasu Ouligisu Dunu mae bogole, e da su ianu, hi diasua buhagimusa: dawa: sea, dilia da ea logo hedofama.
“If someone has run to a city where he will be safe/protected, do not allow him to give you money in order that you will permit him to return to his home before the Supreme Priest dies.
33 Dilia da dilia esalebe soge amo ledo hamosa: besa: le, amo logo mae doasima. Fane legesu hou da soge gugunufinisisa. Amola amo ledo hamoi sema dodofesu hou da afadafa fawane. Amo da fane legesu dunu amo medole legemu fawane.
“You must execute people who truly murder others. If you did not do that, you would be causing the people who live in the land to become unacceptable to me. Anyone who deliberately kills an innocent person must be executed.
34 Dilia esalebe soge amo ledo hamoma: ne, mae wadela: lesima. Bai Na da Hina Gode, amola Na da Isala: ili fi ganodini esalebeba: le.”
I am Yahweh, and I live among you Israelis, so do not spoil/pollute the land by allowing people to murder others without being punished.”
