Deuteronomy 19
1 When the Lord thy God hath destroyed the nations, whose land he will deliver to thee, and thou shalt possess it, and shalt dwell in the cities and houses thereof:
Hina Gode da dunu fi amo da wali soge amo E da dilima iaha amo ganodini esala, amo E da gugunufinisimu. Amasea, dilia da ilia moilai bai bagade amola ilia diasu huluane lale, amo ganodini fimu.
2 Thou shalt separate to thee three cities in the midst of the land, which the Lord will give thee in possession,
3 Paving diligently the way: and thou shalt divide the whole province of thy land equally into three parts: that he who is forced to flee for manslaughter, may have near at hand whither to escape.
Amo fa: no, dilia da amo soge fifili, soge udiana agoane ilegema. Amo udiana afae afae soge dogoa ganodini moilai bai bagade afae ilegema. Amasea, dunu da mae ougili giadofale dunu eno medole legesea, e da hehenane amo moilai bai bagade ganodini gaga: su ba: mu.
4 This shall be the law of the slayer that fleeth, whose life is to be saved: He that killeth his neighbour ignorantly, and who is proved to have had no hatred against him yesterday and the day before:
Dunu afae da dunu eno ema ha lai dunu hame be dunu eno mae ougili giadofale medole legesea, e da amo moilaiga hobeale ahoasea, gaga: su ba: mu.
5 But to have gone with him to the wood to hew wood, and in cutting down the tree the axe slipped out of his hand, and the iron slipping from the handle struck his friend, and killed him: he shall flee to one of the cities aforesaid, and live:
Fedege sia: agoane, dunu aduna da iwilaga ifa aba ahoasea, afae da ifa abasea goahei ea dialuma da da: ba: ga duga: gala: le eno dunu medole legesea, ifa abasu dunu da hobeale Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade udiana amo afaega masunu da defea.
6 Lest perhaps the next kinsman of him whose blood was shed, pushed on by his grief should pursue, and apprehend him. if the way be too long, and take away the life of him who is not guilty of death, because he is proved to have had no hatred before against him that was slain.
Moilai bai bagade udiana ilegemu da defea. Be moilai bai bagade afae fawane ilegesea, dunu da amoga hobeale ahoasea logo sedade ba: mu. Amasea, maga: me dabe imunu dunu da amo dunu baligisia, ougiba: le medole legemu. Be amo da defea hame. Bai amo dunu da ougiba: le o hanaiba: le ea na: iyado hame medole legei be mae ougili giadofale fawane medoi.
7 Therefore I command thee, that thou separate three cities at equal distance one from another.
Amaiba: le, na da dilima sia: sa. Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagade udiana ilegema.
8 And when the Lord thy God shall have enlarged thy borders, as he swore to thy fathers, and shall give thee all the land that he promised them,
Dilia Hina Gode da dilia aowalali ilima ilegele sia: i defele dilia soge bu bagade hamosea, amola dilima imunu ilegele sia: i soge huluane dilima i dagosea,
9 (Yet so, if thou keep his commandments, and do the things which I command thee this day, that thou love the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways at all times) thou shalt add to thee other three cities, and shalt double the number of the three cities aforesaid:
dilia moilai bai bagade udiana eno ilegema. (Dilia da na sia: i liligi huluane noga: le nabasea amola dilia Hina Godema asigisia amola Ea olelesu defele esalea, E da amo soge dilima imunu.)
10 That innocent blood may not be shed in the midst of the land which the Lord thy God will give thee to possess, lest thou be guilty of blood.
Wadela: i hame hamosu dunu da udigili bogosa: besa: le, amola dilia da soge Hina Gode da dilima iaha amo ganodini wadela: i hame hamosu dunu udigili medole legesa: besa: le, Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilale bai bagade ilegema.
11 But if any man hating his neighbour, lie in wait for his life, and rise and strike him, and he die, and he flee to one of the cities aforesaid,
Be dunu afae da ougiba: le amola hanaiba: le ema ha lai dunu medole legesea amola ea maga: me da ahoa, amasea e da Dabe Fasa: besa: le Gaga: su Moilai bai bagadega hi esalusu gaga: musa: ahoasea,
12 The ancients of his city shall send, and take him out of the place of refuge, and shall deliver him into the hand of the kinsman of him whose blood was shed, and he shall die.
amo dunu hi moilai asigilai dunu ilia da e da ilima misa: ne sia: mu. Amasea, ilia da medole bogoi dunu amo ea fi dabe iasu dunu ema imunu. Amola amo dunu da fasu dunu medole legemu.
13 Thou shalt not pity him, and thou shalt take away the guilt of innocent blood out of Israel, that it may be well with thee.
Agoai dunuma mae asigima. Amo fasu dunu da Isala: ili fi ganodini esalumu hamedei. Dilia da hahawane hou ba: ma: ne, amo dunu medole legema.
14 Thou shalt not take nor remove thy neighbour’s landmark, which thy predecessors have set in thy possession. which the Lord thy God will give thee in the land that thou shalt receive to possess.
Dilia na: iyado dunu ea soge alalo amo mae afadenema. Amo ilegei ilia da musa: hemonega soge amo dilia Hina Gode da dilima iaha amo ganodini hamosu.
15 One witness shall not rise up against any man, whatsoever the sin or wickedness be: but in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall stand.
Dunu afae fawane da ba: i dagoiba: le, dunu da wadela: le hamoi dagoi mae sia: ma. Ba: su dunu aduna o amo idi baligi ilia da wadela: i hou hamoi ba: i dagoi sia: sea fawane fofada: ma.
16 If a lying witness stand against a man, accusing him of transgression,
Be dunu afae da eno dunu gugunufinisimusa: , ogogole e da wadela: i hamoi dagoi sia: sea,
17 Both of them, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the Lord in the sight of the priests and the judges that shall be in those days.
ela da Gode Ea ilegei sogebi amoga asili, gobele salasu dunu amola fofada: su dunu (amo esoga ilegei), ilia da amo dunu ilima fofada: mu.
18 And when after most diligent inquisition, they shall find that the false witness hath told a lie against his brother:
Fofada: su dunu da amo hou noga: le fofada: mu. Be amo dunu da ogogole ea na: iyado Isala: ili dunu amo wadela: musa: sia: i dagoi ba: sea,
19 They shall render to him as he meant to do to his brother, and thou shalt take away the evil out of the midst of thee:
e da se nabasu amo se nabasu eno dunuma e da ogogoi defele lamu galu, amo lamu. Amasea, dilia da wadela: i hou fadegamu.
20 That others hearing may fear, and may not dare to do such things.
Amo hou, dunu huluane da nabimu. Amasea, ilia da beda: iba: le, agoai wadela: i hou bu hamedafa ba: mu.
21 Thou shalt not pity him, but shalt require life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Amo hou amoma mae asigima. Dunu da eno dunu medole legesea, amo dunu medole legema. E da eno ea si wadela: sea, ea si amola wadela: ma. Eno ea bese gusia, ea bese guma. Eno ea emo wadela: sea, ea emo wadela: ma.
