Milu Pareinae 35
1 Hahoi Jeriko teng Jordan palang teng vah Moab tanghling dawk BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato.
Again the LORD spoke to Moses on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho:
2 Isarel canaw hah kâpoe leih. A ram thung dawk Levihnaw o nahanlah kho poe awh naseh. Saring a pâ nahanlah kho tengpam hah Levihnaw na poe awh han.
“Command the Israelites to give, from the inheritance they will possess, cities for the Levites to live in and pasturelands around the cities.
3 Kho a saknae kho tawn awh vaiteh, a tengpam pueng teh a maito hoi saringnaw a paca awh e a pâ nahanlah awm naseh.
The cities will be for them to live in, and the pasturelands will be for their herds, their flocks, and all their other livestock.
4 Kho tengpam Levihnaw na poe awh hane teh, kho rapan petkâkalup lah dong 1000 touh akaw han.
The pasturelands around the cities you are to give the Levites will extend a thousand cubits from the wall on every side.
5 Hahoi tumdumnae alawilah hoi na bangnue awh vaiteh, kanîtholah dong 2000, akalah dong 2000, kanîloumlah dong 2000, atunglah dong 2000, alungui kho ao han. Hetnaw heh a ham awh e khopuinaw rapan alawilah han.
You are also to measure two thousand cubits outside the city on the east, two thousand on the south, two thousand on the west, and two thousand on the north, with the city in the center. These areas will serve as larger pasturelands for the cities.
6 Levihnaw na poe awh hane khonaw thung dawkvah, tamikathetnaw a yawng nahane taruk touh na rawi awh han. Hothloilah kho 42 touh na thapsin han.
Six of the cities you give the Levites are to be appointed as cities of refuge, to which a manslayer may flee. In addition to these, give the Levites forty-two other cities.
7 Levihnaw na poe hane khonaw pueng teh, a ram hoi kho 48 touh a pha han.
The total number of cities you give the Levites will be forty-eight, with their corresponding pasturelands.
8 Isarelnaw khosak nahan na poe e teh, kapap hah kapap na poe vaiteh, kayoun hah kayoun na poe han. Tami pueng ni a coe awh e ram apap e patetlah Levihnaw kho na poe awh han.
The cities that you apportion from the territory of the Israelites should be given to the Levites in proportion to the inheritance of each tribe: more from a larger tribe and less from a smaller one.”
9 BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
10 Isarel canaw hah pato nateh, ahnimouh koe Jordan na raka awh teh, Kanaan ram na kâen toteh,
“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
11 pouk laipalah tamikathet payon e teh a yawng vaiteh a kângue nahane kho na pouk pouh han.
designate cities to serve as your cities of refuge, so that a person who kills someone unintentionally may flee there.
12 Tamimaya hmalah lawkceng hanlah a kangdue hoehnahlan, tamikathet payon e teh, ama a due hoeh nahanelah, hote khonaw teh moipathungkung ni a tawng navah a kângue awh nahanelah ao han.
You are to have these cities as a refuge from the avenger, so that the manslayer will not die until he stands trial before the assembly.
13 Hottelah, nangmouh hanlah kângue nahane kho na pouk awh hane teh kho 6 touh a pha han.
The cities you select will be your six cities of refuge.
14 Jordan namran lah kho kathum touh na pouk awh vaiteh, Kanaan ram lah kho kathum touh na pouk awh han. Kânguenae kho lah ao han.
Select three cities across the Jordan and three in the land of Canaan as cities of refuge.
15 Isarel catounnaw hoi ahnimouh koe kaawm e imyinnaw hanlah kho 6 touh hah kânguenae kho lah ao han. Awi hawvah, tamikathet payonnaw ni a yawng awh han.
These six cities will serve as a refuge for the Israelites and for the foreigner or stranger among them, so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there.
16 Hatei, sum hoi tami hem boilah dout pawiteh, tamikathet e lah ao dawkvah, tamikathet e teh ama hai roup thei roeroe han.
If, however, anyone strikes a person with an iron object and kills him, he is a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death.
17 Hahoi talung hoi tami kadout lah dei pawiteh, ayâ ka thet e lah ao dawkvah, ayâ ka thet e teh ama hai thei roeroe han.
Or if anyone has in his hand a stone of deadly size, and he strikes and kills another, he is a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death.
18 Hahoi tami ni thing hoi tami kadout lah hem pawiteh, ayâ ka thet e lah ao dawkvah, ayâ ka thet e teh ama hai thei roeroe han.
If anyone has in his hand a deadly object of wood, and he strikes and kills another, he is a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death.
19 Thiphu moipathungkung ni tami ka thet e teh tang a thei thai han. A hmu boum teh a thei han.
The avenger of blood is to put the murderer to death; when he finds him, he is to kill him.
20 Hahoi tami a hmuhma kecu dawk puenghoi dei tanawt nakunghai thoseh, sut pawp laihoi kadout lah a dêi nakunghai thoseh,
Likewise, if anyone maliciously pushes another or intentionally throws an object at him and kills him,
21 kâoun hoi kut hoi thaw lah koe dout pawiteh, kathetkung hah thei van hane roeroe lah ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tamikathetkung doeh. Thipaling moipathungkung ni a hmu nah tangkuem koe a thei han.
or if in hostility he strikes him with his hand and he dies, the one who struck him must surely be put to death; he is a murderer. When the avenger of blood finds the murderer, he is to kill him.
22 Hatei, kâoun kâtai dawk laipalah, a tanawt payon dawk nakunghai thoseh, lam hoi a pawp dawk tho laipalah, tami awm hoeh ti hoi a panue hoehnahlan vah, taran lah hai kaawm hoeh e,
But if anyone pushes a person suddenly, without hostility, or throws an object at him unintentionally,
23 pataw nahan poe hanlah hai kâcai hoeh eiteh, talung hoi koe dêi lah dout payon pawiteh,
or without looking drops a heavy stone that kills him, but he was not an enemy and did not intend to harm him,
24 tamimaya ni hete lawkcengnae kâlawk patetlah kathetkung hoi thipaling moipathungkung hanlah lawk a ceng awh han.
then the congregation must judge between the slayer and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances.
25 Hahoi tamimaya ni tamikathetkung hah thipaling moipathungkung koehoi a la ring awh vaiteh, tamimaya ni a yawng nahane kânguenae kho dawk ao sak awh han. Satui kathoung hoi awi e vaihma kacue ka tawk lahun e a due hoehroukrak haw vah ao han.
The assembly is to protect the manslayer from the hand of the avenger of blood. Then the assembly will return him to the city of refuge to which he fled, and he must live there until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
26 Hatei, bangpatet e tueng pueng dawk hai tami ka thet e teh, a yawngnae kânguenae kho, khori hloilah cet pawiteh,
But if the manslayer ever goes outside the limits of the city of refuge to which he fled
27 thipaling moipathungkung ni kânguenae kho hloilah hmawt boilah thet pawiteh, thipaling dawk yonpennae awm mahoeh.
and the avenger of blood finds him outside of his city of refuge and kills him, then the avenger will not be guilty of bloodshed
28 Bangkongtetpawiteh, vaihma kacue a due hoehroukrak, kânguenae kho dawk pou o hanlah ao. Vaihma a due hnukkhu, hote tami ka thet e teh ama onae kho dawk a ban han.
because the manslayer must remain in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. Only after the death of the high priest may he return to the land he owns.
29 Hatei, hnonaw pueng hah na catounnaw totouh na o awh nah tangkuem koe lawkceng e lah ao han.
This will be a statutory ordinance for you for the generations to come, wherever you live.
30 Tami bangpatet ni nakunghai tami thet pawiteh, tamikathetkung teh kapanuekkhaikung e pahni dawk lawk a tâco sak e lawk lahoi thei lah ao han. Hatei, kapanuekkhaikung buet touh dueng e a pahni dawk e lawk pawiteh, thei khai nahanelah khout hoeh.
If anyone kills a person, the murderer is to be put to death on the testimony of the witnesses. But no one is to be put to death based on the testimony of a lone witness.
31 Tami kathetkung teh na ratang awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, due han kamcu totouh yonpen e lah ao toung dawkvah, na thei awh roeroe han.
You are not to accept a ransom for the life of a murderer who deserves to die; he must surely be put to death.
32 Kânguenae kho dawk ka yawng e tami teh, hatnae tueng dawk vaihma kacue ka tawk e a due hoehroukrak a onae khoruem dawk bout ban thai nahan, ratang thai mahoeh.
Nor should you accept a ransom for the person who flees to a city of refuge and allow him to return and live on his own land before the death of the high priest.
33 Hatdawkvah, na onae ram na khin sak mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, thipaling ni ram hah a khin sak teh, ram a dam nahanlah, thipalawngkung e thipaling hoi dueng doeh yontha thai lah ao.
Do not pollute the land where you live, for bloodshed pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land on which the blood is shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it.
34 Hatdawkvah, a lungui e khosaknae na coe awh e ram teh, na khinsak awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai Jehovah teh Isarel catounnaw koe ka o tet pouh telah ati.
Do not defile the land where you live and where I dwell. For I, the LORD, dwell among the Israelites.”
