Deuteronomy 19
1 When the Lord thy God shall roote out the nations, whose lande the Lord thy God giueth thee, and thou shalt possesse them, and dwell in their cities, and in their houses,
Yommuu Waaqayyo Waaqni kee saboota biyya isaanii siif kennu balleessutti, yommuu ati ariitee isaan baaftee magaalaawwanii fi manneen isaanii keessa qubattutti,
2 Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the middes of thy lande which the Lord thy God giueth thee to possesse it.
walakkaa biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka ati dhaaltuuf siif kennutti ofii keetiif magaalaawwan sadii addaan baafadhu.
3 Thou shalt prepare thee the way, and deuide the coastes of the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee to inherite, into three parts, that euery manslayer may flee thither.
Akka namni nama ajjeese kam iyyuu itti baqatuuf daandiiwwan hojjedhuutii biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka dhaalaatti siif kennu iddoo sadiitti qoodi.
4 This also is ye cause wherfore the manslayer shall flee thither, and liue: who so killeth his neighbor ignorantly, and hated him not in time passed:
Seerri waaʼee nama nama ajjeesee lubbuu isaa baafachuuf achitti baqatuu jechuunis kan utuu hammina itti hin yaadin akka tasaa nama ollaa isaa ajjeesuu tokko ilaalu kanaa dha.
5 As hee that goeth vnto the wood with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand striketh with the axe to cut downe the tree, if the head slip from the helue, and hit his neighbour that he dieth, the same shall flee vnto one of the cities, and liue,
Namni tokko yoo muka murachuuf namicha ollaa isaa wajjin bosona seenee utuu muka muruuf qottoo isaa ol fudhatuu akkuma tasaa sibiilli irraa buqqaʼee namicha ollaa isaa sana dhaʼee ajjeese, namni sun magaalaawwan kanneen keessaa isa tokkotti baqatee lubbuu ofii isaa oolfachuu dandaʼa.
6 Least the auenger of the blood follow after the manslayer, while his heart is chafed, and ouertake him, because the way is long, and slaie him, although he be not worthy of death, because he hated him not in time passed.
Yoo kanaa achii namni haaloo dhiigaa baasu tokko waan namichi nama ajjeese sun utuu duraan dursee hammina itti hin yaadin ollaa isaa ajjeeseef yoo ajjeefamuu hin qabaatin illee fagoo taʼu iyyuu inni aariidhaan duukaa buʼee qaqqabee isa ajjeesuu dandaʼa.
7 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt appoint out three cities for thee.
Sababiin ani akka ati magaalaa sadii ofii keetiif addaan baafattu si ajajeefis kanuma.
8 And when the Lord thy God enlargeth thy coastes (as he hath sworne vnto thy fathers) and giueth thee all the lande which he promised to giue vnto thy fathers,
Yoo Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akkuma abbootii keetiif kakuudhaan waadaa gale sanatti biyya kee siif balʼisee biyya waadaa isaaniif gale sana guutummaatti siif kenne,
9 (If thou keepe all these commandements to doe them, which I commaund thee this day: to wit, that thou loue the Lord thy God, and walke in his waies for euer) then shalt thou adde three cities moe for thee besides those three,
ati Waaqayyoon Waaqa kee akka jaallachuu fi yeroo hunda karaa isaa irra akka deemtuuf ajajawwan ani harʼa siif kennu hunda akka gaariitti yoo eegde, magaalaawwan kanneen irratti magaalaawwan sadii ni dabalatta.
10 That innocent bloude be not shed within thy land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee to inherite, lest bloud be vpon thee.
Akka lafa kee kan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee dhaala godhee siif kennu keessatti dhiigni nama qulqulluu hin dhangalaanee fi atis yakka dhiiga dhangalaasuutti akka hin gaafatamneef waan kana godhi.
11 But if a man hate his neighbour, and lay waite for him, and rise against him, and smite any man that he die, and flee vnto any of these cities,
Garuu yoo namni tokko nama ollaa isaa jibbee riphee eeggachuudhaan miidhaa irraan gaʼee isa ajjeesee ergasii immoo magaalaawwan kanneen keessaa tokkotti baqate,
12 Then the Elders of his citie shall send and set him thence, and deliuer him into the hands of the auenger of the blood, that he may die.
maanguddoonni magaalaa inni keessa jiraachaa turee nama itti erganii magaalaa inni itti baqate sanaa isa haa fichisiisan; akka inni ajjeesuufis nama haaloo dhiigaa baʼutti dabarsanii isa haa kennan.
13 Thine eye shall not spare him, but thou shalt put away the crie of innocent blood from Israel, that it may goe well with thee.
Garaa hin laafiniif; akka siif toluuf yakka dhangalaafama dhiiga nama qulqulluu Israaʼel keessaa balleessi.
14 Thou shalt not remooue thy neighbours marke, which they of olde time haue set in thine inheritance, that thou shalt inherite in the lande, which ye Lord thy God giueth thee to possesse it.
Biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka dhaaltuuf siif kennu keessatti dhaala dabarfamee siif kennamu irratti dhagaa mallattoo daangaa ollaa keetii kan namoonni durii dhaaban hin hiiqsin.
15 One witnes shall not rise against a man for any trespasse, or for any sinne, or for any fault that hee offendeth in, but at the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses shall the matter be stablished.
Nama yakka yookaan seera cabsuu kamiin iyyuu himatame tokkotti muruuf dhuga baʼumsi nama tokkoo gaʼaa miti. Dubbiin sun dhuga baatota lamaan yookaan sadiin mirkaneeffamuu qaba.
16 If a false witnesse rise vp against a man to accuse him of trespasse,
Yoo dhuga baatuun jalʼaan tokko sobaan nama tokkotti dhugaa baʼe,
17 Then both the men which striue together, shall stand before ye Lord, euen before the Priests and the Iudges, which shall be in those daies,
namoonni wal dhaban lamaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti lubootaa fi abbootii murtii kanneen yeroo sanatti hojii irra jiran dura haa dhaabatan.
18 And the Iudges shall make diligent inquisition: and if the witnesse be found false, and hath giuen false witnes against his brother,
Abbootiin murtiis dubbicha gad fageessanii haa qoran; yoo dhuga baatuun sun sobduu taʼuun isaa mirkanaaʼee obboleessa isaa irratti sobaan dhugaa baʼe,
19 Then shall yee doe vnto him as hee had thought to doe vnto his brother: so thou shalt take euil away forth of the middes of thee.
waanuma inni obboleessa isaa gochuu yaade sana isa godhaa. Ati hamaa of keessaa baasuu qabda.
20 And the rest shall heare this, and feare, and shall henceforth commit no more any such wickednes among you.
Namoonni hafan waan kana dhagaʼanii ni sodaatu; wanni hamaan akkasiis lammata gidduu keetti hin hojjetamu.
21 Therefore thine eye shall have no compassion, but life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foote for foote.
Ati gara laafina tokko iyyuu hin argisiisin; qooda lubbuu lubbuun, qooda ijaa ijji, qooda ilkaanii ilkaan, qooda harkaa harki, qooda miillaas miilli baafamuu qaba.
