Numbers 35
1 Again the LORD spoke to Moses on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho:
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi i nga mania o Moapa, i te wahi o Horano, ki Heriko, i mea,
2 “Command the Israelites to give, from the inheritance they will possess, cities for the Levites to live in and pasturelands around the cities.
Whakahaua nga tama a Iharaira kia homai ki nga Riwaiti etahi pa o o ratou kainga ka riro nei i a ratou hei nohoanga; me hoatu ano ki nga Riwaiti nga wahi o waho o aua pa a tawhio noa.
3 The cities will be for them to live in, and the pasturelands will be for their herds, their flocks, and all their other livestock.
A ko nga pa hei nohoanga mo ratou; ko nga wahi hoki o waho ake mo a ratou kararehe, mo o ratou taonga, mo a ratou kirehe katoa.
4 The pasturelands around the cities you are to give the Levites will extend a thousand cubits from the wall on every side.
A, ko nga wahi o waho o nga pa, e hoatu e koutou ki nga Riwaiti, kia kotahi mano nga whatianga i te taiepa atu ano o te pa, a haere whakawaho a tawhio noa.
5 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.
Me ruri ano e koutou i waho o te pa, i te taha ki te rawhiti kia rua mano whatianga, i te taha ki te tonga kia rua mano whatianga, i te taha ki te hauauru kia rua mano whatianga, i te taha hoki ki te raki kia rua mano whatianga, a hei waenganui t e pa: ko nga wahi tenei mo ratou o waho i nga pa.
6 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.
A kia ono nga pa whakaora i roto i nga pa e hoatu e koutou ki nga Riwaiti; me hoatu hei rerenga atu mo te kaiwhakamate: kia wha tekau ma rua hoki nga pa e tapiritia e koutou ki ena.
7 The total number of cities you give the Levites will be forty-eight, with their corresponding pasturelands.
Ko nga pa katoa e hoatu e koutou ki nga Riwaiti, kia wha tekau ma waru: era, me nga wahi o waho ake.
8 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.”
A hei roto i te wahi tuturu o nga tama a Iharaira nga pa e hoatu e koutou; kia maha i roto i nga mea maha, kia ouou hoki i roto i nga mea ouou, kia rite ki tona kainga e riro i a ia ona pa e hoatu e tera, e tera, ki nga Riwaiti.
9 Then the LORD said to Moses,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
10 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, E whiti koutou i Horano ki te whenua o Kanaana;
11 designate cities to serve as your cities of refuge, so that a person who kills someone unintentionally may flee there.
Na ka whakarite i etahi pa mo koutou hei pa whakaora, hei rerenga atu mo te tangata whakamate, i whakamate nei i te tangata, otiia ehara i te mea ata whakaaro.
12 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.
A ka waiho e koutou hei pa whakaora kei mate i te kaitakitaki; kei mate te tangata whakamate, kia tu ra ano ia ki te aroaro o te whakaminenga, kia whakawakia.
13 The cities you select will be your six cities of refuge.
A kia ono nga pa e waiho hei whakaora, o nga pa e hoatu nei e koutou.
14 Select three cities across the Jordan and three in the land of Canaan as cities of refuge.
Kia toru nga pa e hoatu e koutou i tenei taha o Horano, kia toru hoki nga pa e hoatu e koutou i te whenua o Kanaana; me waiho hei pa whakaora.
15 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.
Hei whakaora enei pa e ono mo nga tama a Iharaira, mo te manene, mo te nohonoa i roto i a koutou: hei rerenga atu mo nga tangata i mate ai tetahi, otiia ehara i te mea ata whakaaro.
16 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.
Otiia ki te patu ia i a ia ki te mea rino, a ka mate, he kaikohuru ia: kia mate rawa te kaikohuru.
17 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.
Ki te patu ano hoki ia i a ia ki te kohatu i whiua e ia kia mate rawa ai, a ka mate, he kaikohuru ia: kia mate rawa te kaikohuru.
18 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.
Ki te patu ranei ia i a ia ki te mea rakau a te ringa kia mate ai, a ka mate, he kaikohuru ia: kia mate rawa te kaikohuru.
19 The avenger of blood is to put the murderer to death; when he finds him, he is to kill him.
Ma te kaitakitaki toto ake ano e whakamate te kaikohuhu; e whakamate ia i a ia ina tutaki ki a ia.
20 Likewise, if anyone maliciously pushes another or intentionally throws an object at him and kills him,
Ki te mea he ngakau kino tona, a ka wero ia i a ia; ki te whanga atu ranei ia, a ka epaina atu ia kia mate;
21 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.
Ki te mauahara ranei ia, a ka patu i a ia ki tona ringa e mate ai ia; kia mate rawa te kaipatu, he kaikohuru ia: e whakamatea te kaikohuru e te kaitakitaki toto, ina tutaki ki a ia.
22 But if anyone pushes a person suddenly, without hostility, or throws an object at him unintentionally,
Tena ia, mehemea he oho noa ake tana wero i a ia, ehara i te mea mauahara; ki te epaina ranei ia ki tetahi mea, a kihai i whakanga atu;
23 or without looking drops a heavy stone that kills him, but he was not an enemy and did not intend to harm him,
Ki te kohatu ranei, ki te mea e mate ai, a kihai i kitea atu, na kua u ki a ia, a ka mate, kahore ano hoki ona mauahara ki a ia, kihai ano hoki i rapu i te he mona;
24 then the congregation must judge between the slayer and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances.
Katahi ka whakarite te whakaminenga i ta te kaipatu, i ta te kaitakitaki toto; kia rite ki enei ritenga:
25 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.
A ka whakaorangia e te whakaminenga te kaiwhakamate i roto i te ringa o te kaitakitaki toto, me whakahoki ano ia e te whakaminenga ki tona pa whakaora, i rere atu ai ia: a ka noho ia ki reira a mate noa te tino tohunga i whakawahia ki te hinu ta pu.
26 But if the manslayer ever goes outside the limits of the city of refuge to which he fled
Ki te puta kau atu te kawhakamate ki waho o te rohe o tona pa whakaora i rere atu nei ia;
27 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
A ka pono ki a ia te kaitakitaki toto ki waho o te rohe o tona pa whakaora, a ka patua te kaiwhakamate e te kaitakitaki toto, e kore e whakairia he toto ki a ia:
28 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.
Me noho hoki ia i roto i tona pa whakaora, kia mate ra ano te tino tohunga; a, muri iho i te matenga o te tino tohunga ka hoki te kaiwhakamate ki tona whenua tupu.
29 This will be a statutory ordinance for you for the generations to come, wherever you live.
Na hei tikanga whakawa enei ma koutou, i o koutou whakatupuranga, i o koutou nohoanga katoa.
30 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.
Ki te patu tetahi i te tangata, ma te mangai o nga kaiwhakaatu e whakamatea ai te kaikohuru: kaua ano te kaiwhakaatu kotahi e whakatau he ki tetahi, e mate ai.
31 You are not to accept a ransom for the life of a murderer who deserves to die; he must surely be put to death.
Kaua ano hoki e tangohia he utu mo te kaikohuru kia ora, ki te mea he hara tona e mate ai: engari kia mate rawa ia.
32 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.
Kaua ano e tango utu mo te tangata i rere ki tona pa whakaora, kia hoki ai ia ki te whenua noho ai; kia mate ra ano te tohunga.
33 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.
Kia kore ai e whakapokea e koutou te whenua kei reira nei koutou: ma nga toto hoki e poke ai te whenua: heoi ano hoki te mea hei pure i nga toto i whakahekea ki te whenua, ko nga toto o te kaiwhakaheke.
34 Do not defile the land where you live and where I dwell. For I, the LORD, dwell among the Israelites.”
Kaua e whakapokea te whenua e noho ai koutou, e noho ai ahau: no te mea e noho ana ahau, a Ihowa, i waenganui i nga tama a Iharaira.
