Numbers 35
1 And the Lord spoke these things also to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, over against Jericho:
BOEIPA loh Moses te Jerikho Jordan kah Moab kolken ah a voek tih,
2 Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites out of their possessions,
Israel ca rhoek te uen lamtah amih kah khohut rho lamloh Levi te pae uh saeh. Khosa ham khopuei rhoek neh a kaepvai ah khopuei kah khocaak te Levi ham pae uh saeh.
3 Cities to dwell in, and their suburbs round about: that they may abide in the towns, and the suburbs may be for their cattle and beasts:
Te daengah ni amih khosa rhoek ham khaw khopuei om vetih a rhamsa ham neh a khuehtawn ham khaw, a mulhing cungkuem ham khaw a khocaak a om eh.
4 Which suburbs shall reach from the walls of the cities outward, a thousand paces on every side:
Khopuei kah khocaak te khopuei pangbueng lamloh vongvoel kaepvai dong thawngkhat hil tah Levi taengah pae uh.
5 Toward the east shall be two thousand cubits: and toward the south in like manner shall be two thousand cubits: toward the sea also, which looketh to the west, shall be the same extent: and the north side shall be bounded with the like limits. And the cities shall be in the midst, and the suburbs without.
Te dongah khopuei kah vongvoel lamloh khothoeng ben te dong thawng hnih, tuithim ben te dong thawng hnih, khotlak ben te dong thawng hnih, tlangpuei ben te dong thawng hnih suem pah. A laklung kah khopuei tah amih ham khopuei kah khocaak la om saeh.
6 And among the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, six shall be separated for refuge to fugitives, that he who hath shed blood may flee to them: and besides these there shall be other forty-two cities,
Khopuei khuiah khaw hlipyingnah khopuei parhuk te Levi taengah pae uh. Te te hlang aka ngawn tah te la rhaelrham sak ham pae uh. Amih te khopuei sawmli panit pae uh.
7 That is, in all forty-eight with their suburbs.
Levi taengah na paek uh khopuei boeih amih kah khocaak nen tah kho sawmli parhet lo saeh.
8 And of these cities which shall be given out of the possessions of the children of Israel, from them that have more, more shall be taken: and from them that have less, fewer. Each shall give towns to the Levites according to the extent of their inheritance.
Khopuei te Israel ca kah khohut khui lamloh pae uh. A yet taeng lamkah tah kum sak uh lamtah a sii taeng lamkah tah sih pauh. Hlang long he amah rho dongkah olka tarhing ah a pang vanbangla a khopuei khui lamkah te Levi taengah pae saeh,” a ti nah.
9 The Lord said to Moses:
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
10 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have passed over the Jordan into the land of Chanaan,
“Israel ca rhoek te voek lamtah amih te thui pah. Nangmih te Kanaan kho khuila Jordan na kat uh vaengah,
11 Determine what cities shall be for the refuge of fugitives, who have shed blood against their will.
Namamih ham khopuei kang uh lamtah nangmih ham hlipyingnah khopuei la om saeh. Te daengah ni tohtamaeh ah hinglu a boh tih aka ngawn loh te lam a rhaelrham eh.
12 And when the fugitive shall be in them, the kinsman of him that is slain may not have power to kill him, until he stand before the multitude, and his cause be judged.
Te vaengah khopuei rhoek te nangmih taengah hinglu aka suk taeng lamloh hlipyingnah la om saeh. Te daengah ni laitloeknah dongah rhaengpuei mikhmuh la a pai hlan hilah hlang aka ngawn te a duek pawt eh.
13 And of those cities, that are separated for the refuge of fugitives,
Khopuei parhuk na paek uh te nangmih ham hlipyingnah khopuei la om saeh.
14 Three shall be beyond the Jordan, and three in the land of Chanaan,
Khopuei pathum te Jordan kah rhalvangan ah pae uh lamtah khopuei pathum te Kanaan khohmuen ah pae uh.
15 As well for the children of Israel as for strangers and sojourners, that he may flee to them, who hath shed blood against his will.
Israel ca rhoek ham neh yinlai ham khaw, amih lakli kah lampah ham khaw hlipyingnah khopuei la om saeh. Khopuei parhuk he tah tohtamaeh ah hinglu aka ngawn boeih loh a rhaelrham vaengah hlipyingnah la om saeh.
16 If any man strike with iron, and he die that was struck: he shall be guilty of murder, and he himself shall die.
Tedae aka ngawn long khaw anih te thi hnopai neh a boh tih a duek sak atah hlang aka ngawn te duek rhoe duek saeh.
17 If he throw a stone, and he that is struck die: he shall be punished in the same manner.
Aka ngawn loh a kut dongkah lungto neh a duek la a thuk tih a duek atah hlang aka ngawn amah te duek rhoe duek saeh.
18 If he that is struck with wood die: he shall be revenged by the blood of him that struck him.
Hlang aka ngawn loh a kut kah thing hnopai nen khaw a duek la a boh tih a duek atah hlang aka ngawn amah te duek rhoe duek saeh.
19 The kinsman of him that was slain, shall kill the murderer: as soon as he apprehendeth him, he shall kill him.
Thii aka suk amah loh hlang aka ngawn te duek sak saeh. Anih te amah neh a hum uh vaengah amah loh anih te duek sak saeh.
20 If through hatred any one push a man, or fling any thing at him with ill design:
Hmuhuetnah neh a thaek, rhongngolnah neh anih te a dae tih a duek atah,
21 Or being his enemy, strike; him with his hand, and he die: the striker shall be guilty of murder: the kinsman of him that was slain as soon as he findeth him, shall kill him.
thunkha thunhling la anih te a kut neh a thoek tih a duek atah aka thoek te duek rhoe duek saeh. Hlang aka ngawn thii aka suk amah neh a hum uh vaengah hlang aka ngawn te duek sak saeh.
22 But if by chance medley, and without hatred,
Tedae thunkha thunhling pawt ah buengrhuet la a thaek akhaw, rhongngolnah om pawt ah khaw, hnopai khat khat neh anih te a dae khaming,
23 And enmity, he do any of these things,
lungto nen khaw a duek sak khaming. A hmuh pawt vaengah anih te a tlak thil tih a duek oeh atah anih te thunkha aih pawt tih a boethae a tlap aih moenih.
24 And this be proved in the hearing of the people, and the cause be debated between him that struck, and the next of kin:
Te dongah rhaengpuei loh hlang aka ngawn neh thii phu aka suk laklo ah he kah laitloeknah bangla laitloek uh saeh.
25 The innocent shall be delivered from the hand of the revenger, and shall be brought back by sentence into the city, to which he had fled, and he shall abide there until the death of the high priest, that is anointed with the holy oil.
Te vaengah rhaengpuei loh hlang aka ngawn te thii phu aka suk kut lamloh huul saeh. Rhaengpuei loh anih te a hlipyingnah khopuei la thak uh saeh lamtah rhaelrham saeh. Tedae Hmuencim kah situi neh a koelh khosoih ham a dueknah rhi hil tah te ah te khosa saeh.
26 If the murderer be found without the limits of the cities that are appointed for the banished,
Tedae hlang aka ngawn te a hlipyingnah khopuei la rhaelrham tih khorhi te a poe khaw a poe khaming.
27 And be struck by him that is the avenger of blood: he shall not be guilty that killed him.
Te vaengah anih te thii aka suk loh a hlipyingnah khopuei rhi kah vongvoel ah a hmuh tih thii aka suk loh a ngawn atah aka ngawn te a taengah thii long boel saeh.
28 For the fugitive ought to have stayed in the city until the death of the high priest: and after he is dead, then shall the manslayer return to his own country.
Khosoih ham a dueknah rhi hil tah a hlipyingnah khopuei ah khosa saeh. Tedae khosoih ham a dueknah hnukah tah hlang aka ngawn te amah kah khohut khohmuen la mael saeh.
29 These things shall be perpetual, and for an ordinance in all your dwellings.
He rhoek he nangmih ham neh na cadilcahma ham khaw na tolrhum boeih ah laitloeknah khosing la om saeh.
30 The murderer shall be punished by witnesses: none shall be condemned upon the evidence of one man.
Hinglu aka ngawn boeih tah laipai olka kah bangla hlang aka ngawn te ngawn saeh. Tedae laipai pakhat bueng neh hinglu te duek sak ham doo boel saeh.
31 You shall not take money of him that is guilty of blood, but he shall die forthwith.
Hlang aka ngawn kah hinglu ham tlansum te doe uh boeh. Amah a duek hamla aka halang te tah duek rhoe duek saeh.
32 The banished and fugitives before the death of the high priest may by no means return into their own cities.
Khosoih a dueknah rhi hil tah a hlipyingnah khopuei la rhaelrham ham neh khohmuen kah khosa la mael sak ham tlansum te lo boeh.
33 Defile not the land of your habitation, which is stained with the blood of the innocent: neither can it otherwise be expiated, but by his blood that hath shed the blood of another.
Thii loh khohmuen te a poeih coeng dongah a khuiah nangmih loh khohmuen te poeih uh boeh. A soah thii te a long coeng dongah thii aka long sak kah thii nen pawt atah khohmuen ham a dawth thai moenih.
34 And thus shall your possession he cleansed, myself abiding with you. For I am the Lord that dwell among the children of Israel.
A khuiah kho aka sa nangmih loh te kah khohmuen te poeih uh boeh. Kai he a khui ah kho ka sak. Kai Yahweh he Israel ca rhoek a laklung ah kho ka sak.
