Deuteronomy 19
1 “When the Lord your God will have destroyed the nations, whose land he will deliver to you, and when you possess it and live in its cities and buildings,
A IA hoopau o Iehova kou Akua i na lahuikanaka, no lakou ka aina a Iehova kou Akua e haawi mai ai nou, a lilo ko lakou wahi nou, a e noho iho oe ma ko lakou kulanakauhale, a maloko hoi o ko lakou mau hale;
2 you shall separate for yourselves three cities in the midst of the land, which the Lord will give to you as a possession,
Alaila e hookaawale oe i na kulanakauhale ekolu nou iwaena o kou aina a Iehova kou Akua e haawi lilo mai ai nou.
3 paving the road carefully. And you shall divide the entire province of your land equally into three parts, so that he who is forced to flee because of manslaughter may have a place nearby to which he may be able to escape.
E hoomakaukau i alanui nou, a o kou aina a Iehova kou Akua i hoolilo mai ai nou, o kau ia e mahele i na mokuna ekolu, i holo ai na pepehi kanaka a pau ilaila.
4 This shall be the law of the killer who flees, whose life is to be saved. Whoever strikes down his neighbor unwillingly, and who has been proven to have had no hatred against him yesterday and the day before,
Eia ke ano o ka pepehi kanaka e holo ai ilaila i ola ia: o ka mea pepehi i kona hoalauna me ka ike ole, aole ia i inaina aku ia ia mamua;
5 such that he had gone with him into the forest simply to cut wood, and in cutting down the tree, the axe slipped from his hand, or the iron slipped from the handle, and it struck his friend and killed him: he shall flee to one of the cities stated above, and he shall live.
A o ka mea e hele aku i ka ululaau me kona hoalauna e kua laau, a hahau iho kona lima me ke koilipi e oki i ka laau, a hemo aku la ke koilipi mai ke au aku, a pa i kona hoalauna a make ia, e holo aku ia i kekahi o ia mau kulanakauhale, a ola;
6 Otherwise, perhaps the near relative of him whose blood was shed, impelled by his grief, might pursue and apprehend him, unless the way is too long, and he might strike down the life of him who is not guilty unto death, since he had demonstrated that he had no prior hatred against him who was slain.
O hahai auanei ka hoopai koko mahope o ka pepehi kanaka i kona wa e ukiuki ai kona naau, no ka mea, ua loihi ke ala, a pepehi ia ia; aole nae ona hewa e make ai, no ka mea, aole ia i inaina aku ia ia mamua.
7 For this reason, I instruct you to separate three cities at equal distance from one another.
No ia mea, ke kauoha aku nei au ia oe, i ka i ana'ku, E hookaawale nou i na kulanakauhale ekolu.
8 And when the Lord your God will have enlarged your borders, just as he swore to your fathers, and when he will have given to you all the land that he has promised to them,
Ina e hoopalahalaha o Iehova kou Akua i kou mokuna e like me kana i hoohiki ai i kou mau kupuna, a haawi ia oe i ka aina a pau ana i olelo ni e haawi i kou mau kupuna:
9 (but this is only so if you will keep his commandments and do the things which I instruct to you this day, so that you love the Lord your God, and walk in his ways at all times) you shall add for yourselves three other cities, and so you shall double the number of the three cities stated above.
Ina paha oe e malama i keia mau kauoha a pau e hana aku ia mea a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la, e aloha aku in Iehova kou Akua, a e hele ma kona aoao i na la a pau, alaila e hookaawale oe nou i na kulanakauhale hou ekolu me kela mau mea ekolu:
10 So may innocent blood not be shed in the midst of the land which the Lord your God will give you to possess, lest you be guilty of blood.
I ole e hookaheia ke koko hala ole iloko o kou aina a Iehova kou Akua i hoolilo mai ai nou, a maluna ou ke koko.
11 But if anyone, having hatred for his neighbor, will have lain in ambush for his life, and, rising up, will have struck him, and he will have died, and if he will have fled to one of the cities stated above,
Aka, ina e inaina aku kekahi kanaka i kona hoalauna, a halua ia ia, a popoi ia ia, a hahau ia ia a make ia, a holo aku ia iloko o kekahi o keia mau kulanakauhale:
12 the elders of his city shall send, and they shall take him from the place of refuge, and they shall deliver him into the hand of the relative of him whose blood was shed, and he shall die.
Alaila e hoouna aku na lunakahiko o kona kulanakauhale, a e lawe ia ia mai laila mai. a haawi aku ia ia iloko o ka lima o ka mea hoopai koko, i make ai oia.
13 You shall not take pity on him, and so shall you take away the blood of the innocent from Israel, so that it may be well with you.
Mai minamina kou maka ia ia; aka, e huikala aku oe i ke koko hala ole mai ka Iseraela aku, i pomaikai ai oe.
14 You shall not take up or move the landmark of your neighbor, which those before you have placed, in your possession that the Lord your God will give to you, in the land you will receive to possess.
Mai hoonee aku oe i ka palena aina o kou hoalauna a ka poe kahiko i hoonoho ai ma kou aina, au i loaa ai ma ka aina a Iehova kou Akua e hoolilo mai ai nou.
15 One witness shall not stand against another, no matter what the sin or outrage may be. For every word shall stand by the mouth of two or three witnesses.
Mai ku mai ka mea hoike hookahi i ke kanaka, no kekahi hala, a no kekahi hewa i na hewa a pau ana i hana hewa ai: ma ka waha o na mea hoike elua, a o na mea hoike ekolu paha, e hookupaaia'i ia mea.
16 If a lying witness will have stood against a man, accusing him of a transgression,
Ina paha e ku mai ka mea hoike hewa i kekahi kanaka, a hoike wahahee ia ia;
17 both of those whose case it is shall stand before the Lord in the sight of the priests and the judges who shall be in those days.
Alaila, o laua, na mea hoopaapaa, e ku imua o Iehova, imua o na kahuna a me na lunakanawai e noho ana ia manawa;
18 And when, after a very diligent examination, they will have found that the false witness had told a lie against his brother,
A e imi pono na lunakanawai: aia hoi, he wahahee ka mea nana i hoike, a ua hoike wahahee i kona hoahanau:
19 they shall render to him just as he intended to do to his brother. And so shall you take away the evil from your midst.
Alaila e hana aku oukou ia ia e like me kana i manao ai e hana aku i kona hoahanau: a e lawe aku oe i ka hewa mai ou aku la.
20 Then the others, upon hearing this, will be afraid, and they will by no means dare to do such things.
A e hoolohe ka poe i koe, a makau hoi, aole e hana hou lakou e like me keia hewa iwaena o oukou.
21 You shall not take pity on him. Instead, you shall require a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot.”
Mai minamina kou maka; he ola no ke ola; he maka no ka maka; he niho no ka niho; he lima no ka lima; he wawae no ka wawae.
