Numbers 35
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho, saying,
Antan yo nan plenn Moab yo, lòt bò larivyè Jouden, sou bò solèy leve anfas lavil Jeriko, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
2 Command the children of Israel, that of the inheritance of their possession they give unto the Levites cities to dwell in; and a suburb for the cities round about them shall ye give unto the Levites.
-W'a bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo lòd pou yo pran nan pòsyon tè yo resevwa a kèk lavil pou yo bay moun Levi yo pou yo rete, ansanm ak savann ki toutotou lavil sa yo pou yo ka fè gadinaj.
3 And the cities shall they have to dwell in, and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
Se nan lavil sa yo moun Levi yo va rete. Savann sa yo va rete pou yo, y'a sèvi pou zannimo yo ak pou tout lòt bèt y'a genyen.
4 And the suburbs of the cities that ye shall give unto the Levites shall be from the walls of the city outward, a thousand cubits round about.
Savann yo va toutotou lavil yo. Y'a mezire mil senksan (1.500) pye depi ranpa lavil la nan chak direksyon.
5 And ye shall measure, without the city, the east side two thousand cubits, and the south side two thousand cubits, and the west side two thousand cubits, and the north side two thousand cubits, and the city shall be in the midst: they shall have this as suburbs of the cities.
Konsa, savann yo va fè yon gwo teren kare kare ki va mezire twamil (3.000) pye sou chak bò: twamil pye sou bò lès, twamil pye sou bò lwès, twamil pye sou bò nò, twamil pye sou bò sid ak lavil la nan mitan l'. Y'a sèvi kote pou bèt moun Levi ki rete nan lavil la jwenn manje.
6 And [among] the cities that ye shall give unto the Levites [shall be] the six cities of refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither, — and besides them ye shall give forty-two cities:
Nan lavil n'a bay moun Levi yo, gen sis ladan yo ki va sèvi pou bay moun ki touye moun pwoteksyon. Apa sis lavil sa yo, n'a bay moun Levi yo karannde lòt lavil ankò.
7 all the cities that ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities, they and their suburbs.
Antou, se pou nou bay moun Levi yo karantwit lavil ak tout savann pou bèt yo.
8 And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have much ye shall take much, and from them that have little ye shall take little; each one according to his inheritance which he will inherit shall give of his cities to the Levites.
Lè n'ap wete nan pòsyon ki pou pèp Izrayèl la lavil pou moun Levi yo, chak fanmi va bay dapre pòsyon tè li te resevwa. Sa ki gen pi gwo pòsyon an va bay plis. Sa ki gen ti pòsyon an va bay mwens.
9 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
-Pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, di yo pou mwen. Lè n'a janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an pou nou antre nan peyi Kanaran an,
11 then ye shall appoint for yourselves cities: cities of refuge shall they be for you; that a manslayer may flee thither, who without intent smiteth a person mortally.
se pou nou chwazi kèk lavil kote yon moun ki touye yon lòt san li pa fè espre ka kouri chache pwoteksyon.
12 And ye shall have these cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he have stood before the assembly in judgment.
Se la y'a pwoteje l' anba fanmi mò a ki ta chache tire revanj mò a. Yo p'ap gen dwa touye l' toutotan yo pa jije l' devan tout moun.
13 And the cities that ye shall give shall be six cities of refuge for you.
Nan lavil n'a bay moun Levi yo, sis va sèvi pou bay moun konsa pwoteksyon,
14 Three cities shall ye give on this side of the Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge.
twa lòt bò larivyè Jouden an sou bò solèy leve, twa bò isit nan peyi Kanaran an.
15 For the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them shall these six cities be a refuge, that one who smiteth a person mortally without intent may flee thither.
Sis lavil sa yo va sèvi ni pou moun peyi a ni pou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou osinon ki depasaj. Se la tout moun ki touye yon lòt san fè espre va kouri chache pwoteksyon.
16 And if he have smitten him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall certainly be put to death.
Si yon moun frape yon lòt ak yon bout fè epi li touye l', se ansasen li ye, se pou yo touye l' tou.
17 And if he have smitten him with a stone from the hand, wherewith one may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall certainly be put to death.
Si yon moun bay yon lòt yon kout wòch epi li touye l', se ansasen li ye, se pou yo touye l' tou.
18 Or if he have smitten him with an instrument of wood, in the hand, wherewith one may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall certainly be put to death;
Si yon moun bay yon lòt yon kout bwa epi li touye l', se ansasen li ye, se pou yo touye l' tou.
19 the avenger of blood, he shall put the murderer to death; when he meeteth him, he shall put him to death.
Moun ki fanmi pi pre moun yo touye a va reskonsab pou li touye ansasen an, nenpòt kilè li bare avè l'.
20 And if he thrust at him out of hatred, or hurl at him intentionally, so that he die,
Si yon moun rayi yon lòt epi li ba li yon move bourad pou li touye l', osinon si li voye yon bagay dèyè l' pou touye l',
21 or from enmity smite him with his hand, so that he die, he that smote him shall certainly be put to death; he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meeteth him. —
oswa ankò, paske li pa vle wè l' li bat li ak koutpwen pou l' touye l', epi li touye l' vre, li gen pou l' mouri tou. Se yon ansasen li ye. Moun ki fanmi pi pre moun li touye a va reskonsab pou touye l' tou, nenpòt lè li bare avè l'.
22 But if he have thrust at him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him anything unintentionally,
Men, sipoze yon moun bay yon lòt yon move bourad san li pa fè espre, san li pa rayi l', osinon li voye yon bagay konsa konsa, epi l' al pran yon moun move kote san li pa t'ap voye l' dèyè l',
23 or [have smitten him] with any stone wherewith one may die, without seeing him, and have cast it upon him so that he die, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
oswa ankò, sipoze li voye yon wòch epi li pa wè sa, wòch la al tonbe sou yon moun, li touye l' frèt, san li pa t' rayi moun lan ni li pa t'ap chache fè moun lan mal,
24 then the assembly shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood according to these judgments;
nan ka sa yo, men regleman pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo swiv pou yo regle bagay la ant moun ki te touye lòt la ak fanmi pi pre moun mouri a ki reskonsab pou tire revanj la.
25 and the assembly shall rescue the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the assembly shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he had fled; and he shall abide in it until the death of the high-priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
Pèp la va sove moun ki te touye lòt la anba men fanmi pi pre moun li touye a, l'a fè l' tounen nan lavil kote li te al kache kò l' la. Moun ki te touye lòt la va rete la jouk granprèt ki la lè sa a pou fè sèvis Bondye a va mouri.
26 But if the manslayer shall in any way come outside the limits of the city of his refuge whither he hath fled,
Si moun ki touye lòt la ta rive soti andeyò limit lavil kote li kache a,
27 and the avenger of blood find him outside the limits of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the manslayer, there shall be no blood-guiltiness upon him;
si moun ki fanmi pi pre moun li touye a bare avè l', epi li touye l', yo pa gen dwa fè fanmi pre a peye pou sa l' fè a.
28 for the manslayer should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high-priest; but after the death of the high-priest he may return into the land of his possession.
Paske moun ki touye yon lòt san li pa fè espre a fèt pou rete nan lavil kote li te kache a jouk granprèt ki la lè sa a va mouri. Se apre lanmò granprèt la ase l'a ka tounen lakay li.
29 And this shall be unto you a statute of right throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Regleman sa yo va sèvi tankou yon lwa pou nou pou tout tan, de pitit an pitit, kote nou pase.
30 Whoever shall smite a person mortally, at the mouth of witnesses shall the murderer be put to death; but one witness shall not testify against a person to cause him to die.
Lè yon moun touye yon lòt, anvan yo touye l', se pou yo gen depozisyon divès temwen kont li. Depozisyon yon sèl temwen pa kont pou kondannen yon moun.
31 And ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, who is guilty of death, but he shall certainly be put to death.
Nou pa gen dwa asepte lajan pou sove lavi yon moun yo kondannen pou mouri paske li touye yon lòt. Wè pa wè se pou nonm sa a mouri.
32 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that hath fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
Ni nou pa gen dwa asepte lajan pou penmèt yon moun ki kite lavil kote l' te kache a pou l' al lakay li anvan granprèt ki la lè sa a mouri.
33 And ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are; for blood, it polluteth the land; and there can be no atonement made for the land, for the blood that hath been shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
Piga nou janm fè bagay ki pou fè Bondye vire do bay peyi kote nou pral viv la. Lè yon moun touye yon lòt moun, se sa k'ap mete peyi a nan kondisyon li derespekte Bondye ak san ki koule a. Lè konsa, pa gen lòt mwayen pou fè Bondye padonnen peyi a pase se touye pou nou touye moun ki touye a.
34 And ye shall not defile the land that ye inhabit, in the midst whereof I dwell; for I am Jehovah who dwell in the midst of the children of Israel.
Piga nou janm fè bagay ki pou fè Bondye vire do bay peyi kote nou rete a, paske mwen menm Seyè a, se nan mitan moun pèp Izrayèl yo, nan mitan peyi kote yo rete a, mwen rete tou.
