Joshua 20
1 And the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying,
Markaasaa Rabbigu Yashuuca la hadlay, oo ku yidhi,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Assign the cities of refuge, [of] which I spoke to you by Moses.
La hadal reer binu Israa'iil, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Sooca magaalooyinkii magangalka oo aan idiinku sheegay Muuse,
3 [Even] a refuge to the slayer who has smitten a man unintentionally; and the cities shall be to you a refuge, and the slayer shall not be put to death by the avenger of blood, until he have stood before the congregation for judgment.
in gacankudhiiglihii qof dilaa, isagoo aan u kasayn oo aan badheedh u samayn, uu halkaas u cararo; oo waxay idiin noqonayaan meeshaad ka magangeli lahaydeen kan dhiigga ka aarsada.
4 And Joshua separated Cades in Galilee in the mount Nephthali, and Sychem in the mount Ephraim, and the city of Arboc; this is Chebron, in the mountain of Juda.
Oo magaalooyinkaas middood waa inuu u cararaa, oo waa inuu istaagaa iridda magaalada laga soo galo, oo xaalkiisa waa inuu u caddeeyaa odayaasha magaalada, oo iyana waa inay magaalada soo geliyaan, oo meel siiyaan inuu la degganaado.
5 And beyond Jordan he appointed Bosor in the wilderness in the plain out of the tribe of Ruben, and Aremoth in Galaad out of the tribe of Gad, and Gaulon in the country of Basan out of the tribe of Manasse.
Oo haddii kan dhiigga ka aarsadaa uu soo eryado, markaas waa inaanay gacankudhiiglihii gacantiisa gelin, maxaa yeelay, kaasu wuxuu deriskiisa ku dilay kama' oo horena ma uu nebcaan jirin.
6 These [were] the cities selected for the sons of Israel, and for the stranger abiding among them, that every one who smites a soul unintentionally should flee thither, that he should not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he should stand before the congregation for judgment.
Oo magaaladaas waa inuu degganaadaa ilaa uu xukun isu hor taago shirka, iyo ilaa uu ka dhinto wadaadka sare oo jiri doona waayahaas, oo markaas ka dib gacankudhiigluhu waa inuu noqdaa, oo waa inuu magaaladiisii yimaadaa, iyo gurigiisii, ilaa magaaladii uu markii hore ka cararay.
Oo waxay sooceen Qedesh oo ku tiil Galili oo ah dalka buuraha leh oo reer Naftaali, iyo Shekem oo iyana ku tiil dalka buuraha leh oo reer Efrayim, iyo Qiryad Arbac (oo ah Xebroon) ee ku tiil dalka buuraha leh oo reer Yahuudah.
Oo Webi Urdun shishadiisa meel Yerixoo u dhow oo bari ka xigta waxay ka sooceen Beser oo ku tiil cidladii ku tiil bannaankii qabiilka reer Ruubeen, iyo Raamod oo ku tiil Gilecaad oo ay qabiilkii reer Gaad lahaayeen, iyo Goolaan oo ku tiil Baashaan oo ay qabiilkii reer Manaseh lahaayeen.
Intaasu waa magaalooyinkii loo doortay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, iyo qariibkii dhexdooda degganaa, in ku alla kii qof dilaa, isagoo aan u kasayn, uu halkaas ku carari karo inaanu ku dhiman gacanta kan dhiigga ka aarsada, ilaa uu hor istaago shirka.
