< Deuteronomy 19 >

1 After the Lord your God has destroyed the nations whose land he's giving you, and after you have driven them out and settled in their cities and houses,
Inton ikkaten ni Yahweh a Diosyo dagiti nasion, dagiti daga nga it-ited ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo, ken inton sublatanyo ida ket agnaedkayo kadagiti siudadda ken babbalayda,
2 then you are to choose three sanctuary towns in the country that the Lord your God is giving you to own.
masapul a mangpilikayo iti tallo a siudad a para kadakayo iti tengnga ti dagayo nga it-ited ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo a tagikuaenyo.
3 You are build roads to these towns. Divide the country the Lord is giving you into three sections. This way anyone who kills someone else can easily run to these towns for protection.
Masapul a mangaramidkayo iti dalan ken bingayenyo dagiti beddeng dagiti dagayo iti tallo a paset, ti daga nga ipatpatawid ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo, tapno mabalin nga agkamang sadiay ti siasinoman a makapatay iti sabali a tao.
4 This is what is to happen when a person accidentally kills someone else without meaning to, and runs to one of these sanctuary towns to save their life.
Daytoy ti linteg para iti tao a makapatay iti sabali ken agkamang sadiay tapno agbiag: siasinoman ti makapatay iti kaarrubana a saanna nga ingagara, ken saanna a ginura isuna iti napalabas—
5 For example, if a man goes to cut wood in the forest with his friend and swings his axe to chop down a tree, but the head flies off the handle and hits and kills his friend, he may run to one of these towns to save his life.
kas iti maysa a tao a mapan idiay bakir a kaduana ti kaarrubana tapno agpukan iti kayo, ket inlayat ti imana ti wasay tapno pukanenna ti kayo, ket nauksot ti ulo ti wasay manipud iti putanna ken natamaan ti kaarrubana isu a natay isuna—masapul ngarud nga agkamang dayta a tao iti maysa kadagitoy a siudad ket agbiag.
6 Otherwise the avenger in his anger might chase after the man and catch up with him and kill him, if it's a long distance. The man would be killed even though he didn't deserve to die, because he hadn't meant to cause any harm.
Ta no saan, amangan no kamaten ti mangibales iti dara ti tao a nakapatay, ket iti bara ti ungetna makamakamna isuna gapu ta atiddog daytoy a panagdaliasat. Ket kabilen ken papatayenna isuna, uray no saan a maikari a matay dayta a tao; ket saan pay a maikari isuna iti pannakapapatay agsipud ta saanna met a kinagura ti kaarrubana sakbay a napasamak daytoy.
7 This is the reason why I'm giving this order to choose three sanctuary towns.
Ngarud, bilinenkayo a mangpilikayo iti tallo a siudad para kadakayo.
8 Should the Lord your God expand your territory, as he promised your forefathers, and give you all the land he said he would,
No palawaen ni Yahweh a Diosyo dagiti beddengyo, kas insapatana kadagiti kapuonanyo nga aramidenna, ken itedna kadakayo dagiti amin a daga nga inkarina nga itedna kadagiti kapuonanyo;
9 and if you are careful to keep all these commandments I'm giving you today, loving the Lord your God and always following his ways, then you are to choose three additional three sanctuary towns.
no salimetmetanyo amin dagitoy a bilbilin tapno aramiden dagitoy, nga ibilbilinko kadakayo ita nga aldaw—dagiti bilbilin tapno ayaten ni Yahweh a Diosyo ken tapno kankanayon a magna kadagiti dalanna, masapul ngarud nga agnayonkayo iti tallo pay a siudad para kadakayo, malaksid kadagitoy a tallo.
10 In this way the blood of innocent people won't not be shed in the country the Lord your God is giving you to own and you won't be responsible for the death of innocent people who aren't guilty of losing their lives.
Aramidenyo daytoy tapno saan nga agsayasay ti dara nga awan basolna iti tengnga ti daga nga it-ited ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo a kas pannakatawidyo, tapno awan pakabasolanyo iti panagpapatay.
11 On the other hand, if a man hates someone, hides in wait, and attacks and kills them, and then the killer runs to one of the sanctuary towns,
Ngem no kagura ti siasinoman ti kaarrubana, padpadaananna isuna, tumakder a maibusor kenkuana, ket sinugatanna isuna iti nakaro nga isu ti nakatayanna, ket no agkamang isuna iti maysa kadagitoy a siudad—
12 the elders of his home town must send for him, bring him back, and hand him over to the avenger to be killed.
masapul ngarud a mangibaon dagiti panglakayen iti siudadna ken isublida isuna manipud sadiay, ket iyawatda isuna iti ima dagiti kabagian nga akinrebbeng, tapno matay isuna.
13 Show him no mercy. You are to eliminate from Israel the guilt of shedding the blood of the innocent, and then all will be well.
Masapul a saan a maasi dagiti matayo kenkuana; ngem ketdi, masapul nga ikkatenyo ti basol iti panagpatay manipud Israel, tapno sumayaatkayonto.
14 Don't move your neighbor's boundary marker. It was placed there by your ancestors to mark the land allotment you will receive in the country that the Lord your God is giving you to own.
Masapul a saanyo nga ikkaten ti mohon ti kaarrubayo nga inkabilda iti nabayagen a panawen, iti tawid a tawidenyonto, iti daga nga it-ited ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo a tagikuaenyo.
15 The evidence given by a single witness is not enough to prove a sin or a crime against someone, never mind what offense they are alleged to have committed. The facts must be confirmed by the evidence given by two or three witnesses.
Masapul a saan a tumakder ti maymaysa a saksi a maibusor iti maysa a tao gapu iti aniaman a kinadakes, wenno gapu iti aniaman a basol, iti aniaman a banag a nagbasolanna; manipud iti ngiwat iti dua a saksi, wenno manipud iti ngiwat iti tallo a saksi, masapul a mapatalgedan ti aniaman a banag.
16 If someone falsely accuses another person of a crime,
No bilang ta tumakder ti saan a nalinteg a saksi a maibusor iti siasinoman tapno mangpaneknek iti maibusor kenkuana iti panagaramidna iti dakes,
17 both those involved must come to be judged in the presence of the Lord by the priests and judges who are then in office.
Ket ti dua a tattao a nagtaudan daytoy a riri, masapul a tumakder iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, iti sangoanan dagiti papadi ken dagiti uk-ukom nga agserserbi kadagitoy nga al-aldaw.
18 The judges shall conduct a full investigation, and if the accuser proves to be a liar who has made false accusations
Masapul a sukimaten a nasayaat dagiti ukom; kitaenyo, no ulbod ti saksi ket siuulbod a nangpaneknek maibusor iti kabsatna,
19 then you must punish the accuser in the same way they wanted to punish their victim. You must eliminate this evil from among you.
masapul ngarud nga aramidenyo kenkuana, a kas iti tinarigagayanna nga aramiden iti kabsatna; ket ikkatenyonto ti kinadakes manipud kadakayo.
20 Then the rest of the people will hear and be afraid, and they will never again do anything so evil among you. Then everyone else will hear about it and be afraid, and won't ever do anything so evil.
Ket mangngeg ken agbutengto dagiti nabati, ket manipud iti dayta a tiempo, saandanton nga agaramid kadagiti kasta a kinadakes kadakayo.
21 Don't show any mercy. The rule is life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, and foot for foot.
Masapul a saan a maasi dagiti matayo; biagto ti mangbayad iti biag, mata para iti mata, ngipen para iti ngipen, ima para iti ima, ken saka para iti saka.
