Numbers 35
1 The LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,
Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo gi Musa e pewe mag Moab momanyore gi Jeriko mokiewo gi Jordan kowacho niya,
2 “Command the children of Israel to give to the Levites cities to dwell in out of their inheritance. You shall give pasture lands for the cities around them to the Levites.
“Chik jo-Israel mondo gimi jo-Lawi mier ma gibiro dakie kuom pok ma jo-Israel biro yudo. Kendo umigi lege mag kwath molworo miergo.
3 They shall have the cities to dwell in. Their pasture lands shall be for their livestock, and for their possessions, and for all their animals.
Eka ginibed gi mier ma ginyalo dakie kod lege mag kwath ne dhog-gi, rombegi kod jambgi mamoko duto.
4 “The pasture lands of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward one thousand cubits around it.
“Kuonde mag kwath molworo mier ma umiyo jo-Lawi nopim maromo fut alufu achiel mia angʼwen gi piero abiriyo gauchiel koa e kor ohinga.
5 You shall measure outside of the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the middle. This shall be the pasture lands of their cities.
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.
6 “The cities which you shall give to the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the man slayer to flee to. Besides them you shall give forty-two cities.
“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.
7 All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities together with their pasture lands.
Koriwore duto nyaka umi jo-Lawi mier piero angʼwen gaboro, kaachiel gi lege mag kwath.
8 Concerning the cities which you shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many you shall take many, and from the few you shall take few. Everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give some of his cities to the Levites.”
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.”
9 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa kama:
10 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
“Wuo gi jo-Israel kendo iwachnegi ni: ‘Ka ungʼado Jordan mi uchopo Kanaan,
11 then you shall appoint for yourselves cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the man slayer who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
to yieruru mier moko mondo obed miechu mag tony, ma ngʼat monego ngʼato kobothne nyalo ringo dhiye.
12 The cities shall be for your refuge from the avenger, that the man slayer not die until he stands before the congregation for judgment.
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 The cities which you shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge.
Mier auchiel muchiwogi nobed mier mag tony.
14 You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and you shall give three cities in the land of Canaan. They shall be cities of refuge.
Chiwuru mier adek mag tony ni yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan to adek nobed Kanaan.
15 These six cities shall be refuge for the children of Israel, for the stranger, and for the foreigner living among them, that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
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.
16 “‘But if he struck him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.
“‘Ka ngʼato ogoyo wadgi gi gima olos gi chuma, motho, to en janek; omiyo janekno nyaka negi.
17 If he struck him with a stone in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.
Kata ka ngʼato nigi kidi e lwete manyalo nego ngʼato, mi ogoyogo wadgi motho, to en janek; omiyo janekno nyaka negi.
18 Or if he struck him with a weapon of wood in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.
Kata ka ngʼato otingʼo gimoro molos gi yien e lwete, mi ogoyogo wadgi motho, en janek; omiyo janekno nyaka negi.
19 The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death. When he meets him, he shall put him to death.
Owad gi ngʼat monegno noneg janekno; koromo kode to nonege.
20 If he shoved him out of hatred, or hurled something at him while lying in wait, so that he died,
Ka ngʼato obwono wadgi gi chunye kata odiro gimoro kuome kongʼeyo motho,
21 or in hostility struck him with his hand, so that he died, he who struck him shall surely be put to death. He is a murderer. The avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death when he meets him.
kata ka en gi mirima mi ogoye adhongʼ motho, to ngʼatno nonegi; nimar en janek. Owad gi ngʼat monegno noneg janekno koromo kode.
22 “‘But if he shoved him suddenly without hostility, or hurled on him anything without lying in wait,
“‘To kaponi odhiro wadgi ma ok gimonrego kata kochiele gi gimoro kobothne
23 or with any stone, by which a man may die, not seeing him, and cast it on him so that he died, and he was not his enemy and not seeking his harm,
kata ka olwaro kidi manyalo nege kuome motho; to ne ok en jasike kendo noonge gi paro mar hinye,
24 then the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances.
to oganda nokel thek e kind janekno kod owadgi ngʼat monegi kaluwore gi chik.
25 The congregation shall deliver the man slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, where he had fled. He shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
Oganda nyaka res janekno kuom owad gi ngʼat monegi mi gidwoke e dala mar tony mane oringo odhiye. Enodag kanyo nyaka chop jadolo mane owir gi mo maler tho.
26 “‘But if the man slayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge where he flees,
“‘To ka ngʼat monekono owuok oko mar dala mar tony mane odhiyoe,
27 and the avenger of blood finds him outside of the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kills the man slayer, he shall not be guilty of blood,
kendo owad gi ngʼat mane onegocha oyude oko mar dala mar tony, to onyalo nege ma ok obedo gi richo mar nek.
28 because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest, the man slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
Janek nyaka sik e dalane mar tony nyaka jadolo maduongʼ tho; to en mana bangʼ tho mar jadolo maduongʼno ema onyalo dok chamo mwandune.
29 “‘These things shall be for a statute and ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
“‘Mago ema nobednu chike mosiko e tienge duto, kamoro amora ma unudagie.
30 “‘Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain based on the testimony of witnesses; but one witness shall not testify alone against any person so that he dies.
“‘Ngʼato angʼata ma onego ngʼato nyaka negi kaka janek mana ka nitie joneno manyalo wacho ni notimore kamano. To onge ngʼama inyalo negi kuom wach janeno achiel kende.
31 “‘Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death. He shall surely be put to death.
“‘Kik ikaw asoya kuom ngʼatno moneko, nikech owinjore gi tho. Nyaka ngʼatno negi.
32 “‘You shall take no ransom for him who has fled to his city of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land before the death of the priest.
“‘Kik ikaw asoya kuom ngʼato angʼata moringo odhi e dala mar tony koparo ni inyalo weye mondo odog e lope owuon kapok jadolo maduongʼ otho.
33 “‘So you shall not pollute the land where you live; for blood pollutes the land. No atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it, but by the blood of him who shed it.
“‘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.
34 You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, where I dwell; for I, the LORD, dwell among the children of Israel.’”
Kik udwany piny mudakie gi remo kod kama adakie, nimar an, Jehova Nyasaye, adak e kind jo-Israel.’”
