Numbers 35
1 And the Lord spoke these things also to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, over against Jericho:
Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo gi Musa e pewe mag Moab momanyore gi Jeriko mokiewo gi Jordan kowacho niya,
2 Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites out of their possessions,
“Chik jo-Israel mondo gimi jo-Lawi mier ma gibiro dakie kuom pok ma jo-Israel biro yudo. Kendo umigi lege mag kwath molworo miergo.
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:
Eka ginibed gi mier ma ginyalo dakie kod lege mag kwath ne dhog-gi, rombegi kod jambgi mamoko duto.
4 Which suburbs shall reach from the walls of the cities outward, a thousand paces on every side:
“Kuonde mag kwath molworo mier ma umiyo jo-Lawi nopim maromo fut alufu achiel mia angʼwen gi piero abiriyo gauchiel koa e kor ohinga.
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.
To oko mar dala, pimuru fut alufu angʼwen mia abich kod piero ochiko gadek koa yo wuok chiengʼ, fut alufu angʼwen mia abich kod piero ochiko gadek koa yo milambo, fut alufu angʼwen mia abich kod piero ochiko gadek koa yo podho chiengʼ, kod fut alufu angʼwen mia abich kod piero ochiko gadek koa yo nyandwat, ka dala oger e dier lowono tir. Ginikaw kanyo kaka lek mar kwath ne joma odak e miergo.
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,
“Mier auchiel ma umiyo jo-Lawi nobed mier mag tony, ma ngʼat moneko nyalo ringo mondo opondie. Ewi mago medgi mier piero angʼwen gariyo mamoko.
7 That is, in all forty-eight with their suburbs.
Koriwore duto nyaka umi jo-Lawi mier piero angʼwen gaboro, kaachiel gi lege mag kwath.
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.
Mier ma umiyo jo-Lawi koa kuom piny ma jo-Israel okawo kaka pok margi nyaka pog matindo tindo kaka pok mar dhoot ka dhoot: Kawuru mier mangʼeny kuom dhoot man-gi mangʼeny, to kawuru manok kuom jogo man-gi manok.”
9 The Lord said to Moses:
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa kama:
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,
“Wuo gi jo-Israel kendo iwachnegi ni: ‘Ka ungʼado Jordan mi uchopo Kanaan,
11 Determine what cities shall be for the refuge of fugitives, who have shed blood against their will.
to yieruru mier moko mondo obed miechu mag tony, ma ngʼat monego ngʼato kobothne nyalo ringo dhiye.
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.
Gibiro bedo mier mag tony kua e nyim ngʼama dwaro chulo kuor, mondo omi ngʼat miparo kuome ni oneko kik negi kapok oyale e nyim oganda.
13 And of those cities, that are separated for the refuge of fugitives,
Mier auchiel muchiwogi nobed mier mag tony.
14 Three shall be beyond the Jordan, and three in the land of Chanaan,
Chiwuru mier adek mag tony ni yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan to adek nobed Kanaan.
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.
Mier auchielgo nobed kuonde tony ne jo-Israel, jodak kod ngʼato angʼata modak kodgi, mondo omi ngʼato angʼata monego ngʼat machielo kobothne nyalo ringo dhiye.
16 If any man strike with iron, and he die that was struck: he shall be guilty of murder, and he himself shall die.
“‘Ka ngʼato ogoyo wadgi gi gima olos gi chuma, motho, to en janek; omiyo janekno nyaka negi.
17 If he throw a stone, and he that is struck die: he shall be punished in the same manner.
Kata ka ngʼato nigi kidi e lwete manyalo nego ngʼato, mi ogoyogo wadgi motho, to en janek; omiyo janekno nyaka negi.
18 If he that is struck with wood die: he shall be revenged by the blood of him that struck him.
Kata ka ngʼato otingʼo gimoro molos gi yien e lwete, mi ogoyogo wadgi motho, en janek; omiyo janekno nyaka negi.
19 The kinsman of him that was slain, shall kill the murderer: as soon as he apprehendeth him, he shall kill him.
Owad gi ngʼat monegno noneg janekno; koromo kode to nonege.
20 If through hatred any one push a man, or fling any thing at him with ill design:
Ka ngʼato obwono wadgi gi chunye kata odiro gimoro kuome kongʼeyo motho,
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.
kata ka en gi mirima mi ogoye adhongʼ motho, to ngʼatno nonegi; nimar en janek. Owad gi ngʼat monegno noneg janekno koromo kode.
22 But if by chance medley, and without hatred,
“‘To kaponi odhiro wadgi ma ok gimonrego kata kochiele gi gimoro kobothne
23 And enmity, he do any of these things,
kata ka olwaro kidi manyalo nege kuome motho; to ne ok en jasike kendo noonge gi paro mar hinye,
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:
to oganda nokel thek e kind janekno kod owadgi ngʼat monegi kaluwore gi chik.
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.
Oganda nyaka res janekno kuom owad gi ngʼat monegi mi gidwoke e dala mar tony mane oringo odhiye. Enodag kanyo nyaka chop jadolo mane owir gi mo maler tho.
26 If the murderer be found without the limits of the cities that are appointed for the banished,
“‘To ka ngʼat monekono owuok oko mar dala mar tony mane odhiyoe,
27 And be struck by him that is the avenger of blood: he shall not be guilty that killed him.
kendo owad gi ngʼat mane onegocha oyude oko mar dala mar tony, to onyalo nege ma ok obedo gi richo mar nek.
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.
Janek nyaka sik e dalane mar tony nyaka jadolo maduongʼ tho; to en mana bangʼ tho mar jadolo maduongʼno ema onyalo dok chamo mwandune.
29 These things shall be perpetual, and for an ordinance in all your dwellings.
“‘Mago ema nobednu chike mosiko e tienge duto, kamoro amora ma unudagie.
30 The murderer shall be punished by witnesses: none shall be condemned upon the evidence of one man.
“‘Ngʼato angʼata ma onego ngʼato nyaka negi kaka janek mana ka nitie joneno manyalo wacho ni notimore kamano. To onge ngʼama inyalo negi kuom wach janeno achiel kende.
31 You shall not take money of him that is guilty of blood, but he shall die forthwith.
“‘Kik ikaw asoya kuom ngʼatno moneko, nikech owinjore gi tho. Nyaka ngʼatno negi.
32 The banished and fugitives before the death of the high priest may by no means return into their own cities.
“‘Kik ikaw asoya kuom ngʼato angʼata moringo odhi e dala mar tony koparo ni inyalo weye mondo odog e lope owuon kapok jadolo maduongʼ otho.
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.
“‘Kik udwany piny mudakie. Chwero remo dwanyo piny, kendo pwodhruok ok nyal tim ne piny modwany kuom chwero remo, makmana kokadho kuom remb ngʼatno mane ochwero remo.
34 And thus shall your possession he cleansed, myself abiding with you. For I am the Lord that dwell among the children of Israel.
Kik udwany piny mudakie gi remo kod kama adakie, nimar an, Jehova Nyasaye, adak e kind jo-Israel.’”
