Commande ye children of Israel, that they giue vnto the Leuites of the inheritace of their possession, cities to dwell in: yee shall giue also vnto the Leuites the suburbes of the cities round about them.

So they shall haue the cities to dwell in, and their suburbes shall be for their cattell, and for their substance, and for all their beasts.

4 “Kuonde mag kwath molworo mier ma umiyo jo-Lawi nopim maromo fut alufu achiel mia angʼwen gi piero abiriyo gauchiel koa e kor ohinga.

And the suburbes of the cities, which ye shall giue vnto the Leuites, from the wall of the citie outward, shalbe a thousand cubites round about.

5 To oko mar dala, pimuru fut alufu angʼwen mia abich kod piero ochiko gadek koa yo wuok chiengʼ, fut alufu angʼwen mia abich kod piero ochiko gadek koa yo milambo, fut alufu angʼwen mia abich kod piero ochiko gadek koa yo podho chiengʼ, kod fut alufu angʼwen mia abich kod piero ochiko gadek koa yo nyandwat, ka dala oger e dier lowono tir. Ginikaw kanyo kaka lek mar kwath ne joma odak e miergo.

And yee shall measure without the citie of the Eastside, two thousand cubites: and of the Southside, two thousand cubites: and of the Westside, two thousand cubites: and of ye Northside, two thousand cubites: and the citie shalbe in ye middes. this shalbe the measure of the suburbes of their cities.

6 “Mier auchiel ma umiyo jo-Lawi nobed mier mag tony, ma ngʼat moneko nyalo ringo mondo opondie. Ewi mago medgi mier piero angʼwen gariyo mamoko.

And of the cities which yee shall giue vnto the Leuites, there shalbe sixe cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint, that he which killeth, may flee thither: and to them yee shall adde two and fourtie cities more.

7 Koriwore duto nyaka umi jo-Lawi mier piero angʼwen gaboro, kaachiel gi lege mag kwath.

All the cities which yee shall giue to the Leuites, shalbe eight and fourtie cities: them shall ye giue with their suburbes.

8 Mier ma umiyo jo-Lawi koa kuom piny ma jo-Israel okawo kaka pok margi nyaka pog matindo tindo kaka pok mar dhoot ka dhoot: Kawuru mier mangʼeny kuom dhoot man-gi mangʼeny, to kawuru manok kuom jogo man-gi manok.”

And concerning the cities which yee shall giue, of the possession of the children of Israel: of many ye shall take more, and of few ye shall take lesse: euery one shall giue of his cities vnto the Leuites, according to his inheritance, which hee inheriteth.

9 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa kama:

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

10 “Wuo gi jo-Israel kendo iwachnegi ni: ‘Ka ungʼado Jordan mi uchopo Kanaan,

Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When ye be come ouer Iorden into the land of Canaan,

11 to yieruru mier moko mondo obed miechu mag tony, ma ngʼat monego ngʼato kobothne nyalo ringo dhiye.

Ye shall appoint you cities, to bee cities of refuge for you, that the slayer, which slayeth any person vnwares, may flee thither.

12 Gibiro bedo mier mag tony kua e nyim ngʼama dwaro chulo kuor, mondo omi ngʼat miparo kuome ni oneko kik negi kapok oyale e nyim oganda.

13 Mier auchiel muchiwogi nobed mier mag tony.

And of the cities which ye shall giue, sixe cities shall ye haue for refuge.

14 Chiwuru mier adek mag tony ni yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan to adek nobed Kanaan.

Ye shall appoint three on this side Iorden, and ye shall appoint three cities in the lande of Canaan which shalbe cities of refuge.

15 Mier auchielgo nobed kuonde tony ne jo-Israel, jodak kod ngʼato angʼata modak kodgi, mondo omi ngʼato angʼata monego ngʼat machielo kobothne nyalo ringo dhiye.

These six cities shalbe a refuge for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for him that dwelleth among you, that euery one which killeth any person vnwares, may flee thither.

16 “‘Ka ngʼato ogoyo wadgi gi gima olos gi chuma, motho, to en janek; omiyo janekno nyaka negi.

And if one smite another with an instrument of yron that hee die, hee is a murtherer, and the murtherer shall die the death.

17 Kata ka ngʼato nigi kidi e lwete manyalo nego ngʼato, mi ogoyogo wadgi motho, to en janek; omiyo janekno nyaka negi.

Also if hee smite him by casting a stone, wherewith hee may be slaine, and he die, hee is a murtherer, and the murtherer shall die the death.

18 Kata ka ngʼato otingʼo gimoro molos gi yien e lwete, mi ogoyogo wadgi motho, en janek; omiyo janekno nyaka negi.

Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may be slaine, if he die, he is a murtherer, and the murtherer shall die the death.

But if he pusshed him vnaduisedly, and not of hatred, or cast vpon him any thing, without laying of waite,

23 kata ka olwaro kidi manyalo nege kuome motho; to ne ok en jasike kendo noonge gi paro mar hinye,

Or any stone (whereby he might be slaine) and sawe him not, or caused it to fall vpon him, and he die, and was not his enemie, neither sought him any harme,

Then the Congregation shall iudge betweene the slayer and the auenger of blood according to these lawes.

Because he should haue remained in the citie of his refuge, vntill the death of the hie Priest: and after the death of the hie Priest, the slayer shall returne vnto the land of his possession.

29 “‘Mago ema nobednu chike mosiko e tienge duto, kamoro amora ma unudagie.

So these thinges shall be a lawe of iudgement vnto you, throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

Also ye shall take no recompense for him that is fled to the citie of his refuge, that he should come againe, and dwell in the lande, before the death of the hie Priest.

33 “‘Kik udwany piny mudakie. Chwero remo dwanyo piny, kendo pwodhruok ok nyal tim ne piny modwany kuom chwero remo, makmana kokadho kuom remb ngʼatno mane ochwero remo.

So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye shall dwell: for blood defileth the land: and the land cannot be clensed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.

34 Kik udwany piny mudakie gi remo kod kama adakie, nimar an, Jehova Nyasaye, adak e kind jo-Israel.’”

Defile not therefore the lande which yee shall inhabite, For I dwell in the middes thereof: for I the Lord dwel among the children of Israel.
