Numbers 35
1 The Lord spoke to Moses on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan opposite Jericho. He told him,
In acn mwesis lun Moab sisken Infacl Jordan tulanang acn Jericho, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
2 “Order the Israelites to provide from their land allocation towns for the Levites to live in and pastures around the towns.
“Fahk nu sin mwet Israel lah elos enenu in sang kutu siti in acn ma elos eis lalos nu sin mwet Levi tuh elos in muta we, wi pac acn tupasrpasr ma raunela ac yohk mah we.
3 The towns are for them to live in, and the pastures will be for their herds and their flocks—for all their livestock.
Siti inge ac fah ma lun mwet Levi, ac elos fah muta we. Acn ma yohk mah we inge ac fah nien tohf cow ac kain kosro nukewa natulos.
4 The pastures around the towns you give to the Levites are to extend out from the wall a thousand cubits on all sides.
Acn in tohf kosro uh ac mutawauk sisken pot lun siti uh fahla yact lumfoko ke siska akosr kewa.
5 Measure two thousand cubits outside the town on the east, two thousand on the south, two thousand on the west, and two thousand on the north, with the town in the middle. These areas will be their pastures around the towns.
Na ac orala sie acn maspang ma srikasrak kac uh oasr ke sie tausin yact ke siska kewa, ac siti uh ac oan infulwa.
6 Six of the towns you give the Levites are to be sanctuary towns, where a person who kills someone can run for protection. As well as these towns, give the Levites forty-two more.
Kom fah sang onkosr siti nu sin mwet Levi tuh in siti in molela, tuh sie mwet fin uniya sie pac mwet ke ongla ouiya, elan ku in kaing nu we. In weang siti inge, sang pac angngaul luo siti an nu selos,
7 The total number of towns you are to give the Levites is forty-eight, along with their pastures.
wi acn tupasrpasr ac yohk mah we ma oan raunela. Siti angngaul oalkosr nufon fah ma lun mwet Levi.
8 The towns that you allocate to be given to the Levites from the territory of the Israelites will be more from a larger tribe and less from a smaller one. The number will be in proportion to the size of the land allocation of each tribe.”
Pisen siti in acn lun kais sie sruf ma ac itukyang nu sin mwet Levi fah lumweyuk fal nu ke lupan acn lun sruf sac.”
9 The Lord told Moses,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
10 “Tell the Israelites: ‘When you cross over the Jordan into Canaan,
elan fahk nu sin mwet Israel: “Pacl se kowos alukela infacl Jordan nu in acn Canaan,
11 choose towns as your sanctuary towns, so a person who kills someone by mistake may run there.
kowos fah srela kutu siti uh in nien molela, ma sie mwet el ac ku in kaing nu we el fin uniya sie mwet ke el tia oru in oaya.
12 These towns will be for you places of sanctuary from those seeking revenge, so that the killer will not die until they are tried in court.
Ke el muta in acn se inge, el ac tia sangeng sin sou lun mwet misa sac su suk in foloksak. Mwet se fin tukakyak ke akmas, fah tia anwuki meet liki nununkeyuk el ye mutun mwet uh.
13 The towns you choose will be your six sanctuary towns.
Sulela siti in molela onkosr:
14 Choose three cities on the other side of the Jordan and three in Canaan as cities of refuge.
tolu siti uh in oan kutulap in Infacl Jordan, ac tolu siti fin acn Canaan.
15 These six cities will be places of sanctuary for the Israelites and for foreigners or settlers among them, so that anyone who kills a person by mistake may run there.
Siti onkosr inge ac fah acn in wikla lun mwet Israel, oayapa mwetsac su mutangan aktuktuk yuruwos uh, ku mwetsac su ac muta inmasrlowos nwe tok. Kutena mwet su uniya mwet ke ongla ouiya, ac ku in kaing nu in sie sin siti inge.
16 But if anyone deliberately hits someone with something made of iron and kills them, that person is a murderer and must be executed.
“Tusruktu sie mwet fin sringil sie mwet ke soko polo osra ac mwet sac misa, el mwet akmas. Sie mwet akmas enenu in anwuki.
17 If anyone picks up something made of stone that could be used as a weapon and hits someone with it, and kills them, that person is a murderer and must be executed.
Ku kutena mwet su tukya sie mwet ke sie eot inpaol ac mwet sac misa, el mwet akmas. Sie mwet akmas enenu in anwuki.
18 If anyone picks up something made of wood that could be used as a weapon and hits someone with it, and kills them, that person is a murderer and must be executed.
Ku sie mwet su sringilya siena mwet ke soko mwe anwuk orekla ke sak, ac mwet sac misa, na el sie mwet akmas. Sie mwet akmas enenu in anwuki.
19 The avenger is to execute the murderer. When he finds the murderer, he is to kill him.
Ma kunen sou se ma fototo emeet nu sin mwet misa sac, in uniya mwet akmas sac. El fin konalak, elan unilya.
20 Similarly, if anyone hates someone and knocks them down or deliberately throws something at them, and they're killed;
“Mwet se fin srunga sie mwet ac unilya ke sinukunulla nu ten, ku tungalilya,
21 or if someone hits another with his hand and they die, the one who hit him must be executed because he is a murderer. When the avenger finds the murderer, he is to kill him.
ku fiskilya, oasr mwatal ke akmas, ac el ac fah anwuki. Ma kunen sou se ma fototo emeet nu sin mwet misa sac, in uniya mwet akmas sac. El fin konalak, elan unilya.
22 But if anyone knocks someone else down without meaning to and without hating them, or throws something at them not meaning to hurt them,
“Tusruktu fin pa mwet se el sinukunla sie mwet nu ten, ku tungalilya na el misa, a mwet se ma oru ah el tia srungal ku oru in oaya.
23 or carelessly drops a heavy stone that kills them, but not as an enemy or intending to harm them,
Ku fin pa mwet se el sis eot se tuh uniya mwet se su el tia liye, ac el tia pac mwet lokoalok lal uh, na fuka?
24 then the community must judge between the killer and the avenger following these regulations.
Ke ac nununkeyuk lumah ouinge uh, na mwet uh in wi layen lun mwet se ma orala misa sac, ac tia wi sou lun mwet misa sac su suk in foloksak.
25 The court is to protect the killer from being attacked by the avenger and must return him to the sanctuary town that he ran to, and he must stay there until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with holy oil.
Mwet uh in molela mwet se ma akmas liki sou lun mwet misa sac, ac elos fah folokunulla nu in siti in molela se ma el tuh kaingla nu we. El fah muta we nwe ke Mwet Tol Fulat se in pacl sac el misa.
26 But if the killer ever leaves the limits of sanctuary town where they ran to,
Mwet se ma akmas ah fin illa liki siti in molela se ma el kaing nu we,
27 and the avenger finds him them outside his sanctuary town and kills him, then the avenger will not be guilty of murder,
ac sou lun mwet misa sac fin konalak ac unilya, na foloksak se inge ac tia oaoa in akmas.
28 because the killer has to stay in his sanctuary town until the death of the high priest. Only after the death of the high priest are they allowed to return to the land they own.
Mwet se ma akmas el enenu in mutana in siti in molela nwe ke na Mwet Tol Fulat sac misa, na toko el fah ku in folokla nu in acn sel sifacna.
29 These regulations apply to all future generations wherever you live.
Ma sap inge ma nu suwos ac fwilin tulik nutuwos yen nukewa kowos muta we.
30 If anyone kills a person, the murderer is to be executed based on the evidence given by witnesses, plural. No one is to be executed based on the evidence given by a single witness.
“Sie mwet fin tukakyak ke akmas, na enenu in oasr mwet loh luo ku pus liki, tuh in ku in koneyukyak lah oasr mwatal, ac fal elan misa. Mwet loh sefanna tiana fal in akpwayeye tukak lun akmas.
31 You are not to accept payment instead of executing a murderer who has been found guilty—they must be executed.
Sie mwet akmas enenu in anwuki. El tia ku in kaingkunla mwe kai se inge el finne sang mani in moli.
32 Also you are not allowed to accept payment for a person who runs to a sanctuary town and permit them to return and live on their own land before the death of the high priest.
Mwet se fin kaingla nu in sie siti in molela, nikmet lela nu sel elan sang mani molel in folok nu acn sel meet liki Mwet Tol Fulat el misa.
33 Don't pollute the land where you live because bloodshed pollutes the land, and the land where blood is shed can't be purified except by the blood of the one who shed it.
Kowos fin oru lumah se inge, kowos ac akfohkfokyela facl ma kowos muta we uh, mweyen akmas uh el akfohkfokyela acn. Mwet akmas sac fin tia misa, na wangin pac sie inkanek in aknasnasyela acn se ma sie mwet el anwuki we.
34 Don't make the land impure where you live because I live there too. I am the Lord, and I live with the Israelites.”
Nikmet akfohkfokyela facl se ma kowos muta we uh, tuh nga LEUM GOD, ac nga muta inmasrlon mwet Israel.”
