Joshua 20
1 The Lord also spake vnto Ioshua, saying,
OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, i mai la,
2 Speake to the children of Israel, and say, Appoint you cities of refuge, whereof I spake vnto you by the hand of Moses,
E olelo aku oe i na mamo a Iseraela, e i aku, E hookaawale oukou i kekahi mau kulanakauhale, i puuhonua no oukou, me a'u i olelo aku ai ia oukou, ma ka lima o Mose;
3 That the slaier that killeth any person by ignorance, and vnwittingly, may flee thither, and they shall be your refuge from the auenger of blood.
I pee aku ilaila ka pepehi kanaka, ka mea nana i pepehi aku me ka manao ole, aole oia i ike: a no oukou keia mau wahi, i puuhonua, i pakele ai i ka mea hoopai koko.
4 And he that doeth flee vnto one of those cities, shall stand at the entring of the gate of the citie, and shall shewe his cause to the Elders of the citie: and they shall receiue him into the citie vnto them, and giue him a place, that hee may dwell with them.
Aia pee aku oia i kekahi o keia mau kulanakauhale, a e ku iluna oia ma ka ipuka o ua kulanakauhale la, a e olelo aku i na pepeiao o ka poe lunakahiko o ua kulanakauhale la i kona mea, e hoonoho lakou ia ia ma ke kulanakauhale me lakou, a e haawi lakou ia ia i wahi e noho pu ai oia me lakou.
5 And if the auenger of blood pursue after him, they shall not deliuer the slaier into his hand because hee smote his neighbour ignorantly, neither hated he him before time:
A ina hahai ka mea hoopai koko ia ia, aole lakou e haawi i ka mea pepehi kanaka i kona lima; no ka mea, ua pepehi oia i kona hoanoho me ka ike ole; aole inaina oia ia ia mamua.
6 But hee shall dwell in that citie vntill hee stande before the Congregation in iudgement, or vntill the death of the hie Priest that shall be in those daies: then shall the slaier returne, and come vnto his owne citie, and vnto his owne house, euen vnto the citie from whence he fled.
A e noho oia ma na kulanakauhale la, a hiki i ka wa o kona ku ana imua o ke anaina no ka hookolokolo ana, a hiki i ka wa o ka make ana o ke kahuna nui o ia mau la; alaila, e hoi ua kanaka pepehi la, e hele oia i kona kulanakauhale, i kona hale iho, a i ke kulanakauhale ana i haalele ai.
7 Then they appointed Kedesh in Galil in mount Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba, (which is Hebron) in the mountaine of Iudah.
A hookapu iho la lakou ia Kedesa, ma Galilaia ma ka mauna o Napetali, a me Sekema ma ka mauna o Eperaima, a me Kiriatareba, oia o Heberona ma ka mauna o Iuda.
8 And on the other side Iorden toward Iericho Eastward, they appoynted Bezer in the wildernesse vpon the plaine, out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead, out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan, out of the tribe of Manasseh.
A i kela kapa o Ioredane ma Ieriko, ma ka hikina, hookapu iho la lakou ia Bezera, ma ka waonahele ma ka papu, i ka aina o ka ohana a Reubena, a me Ramota, ma Gileada, i ka aina o ka ohana a Gada, a me Golana, ma Basana, i ka aina o ka ohana a Manase.
9 These were the cities appoynted for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that soiourned among them, that whosoeuer killed any person ignorantly, might flee thither, and not die by the hande of the auenger of blood, vntill hee stoode before the Congregation.
E lilo no keia mau kulanakauhale i puuhonua no na mamo a Iseraela a pau, a me ka malihini e noho pu ana mawaena o lakou, i pee aku ai ilaila kela mea keia mea i pepehi kanaka me ka manao ole, i make ole oia i ka lima o ka mea hoopai koko, a hiki i ka wa o kona ku ana imua o ke anainakanaka.
