Numbers 35
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses in the plaine of Moab by Iorden, toward Iericho, saying,
Ku zigwa za Mowabu pafupi ndi Yorodani ku Yeriko, Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 Commande ye children of Israel, that they giue vnto the Leuites of the inheritace of their possession, cities to dwell in: yee shall giue also vnto the Leuites the suburbes of the cities round about them.
“Lamula Aisraeli kuti apereke kwa Alevi midzi yoti azikhalamo kuchokera pa cholowa chomwe adzalandira. Muwapatsenso malo oweteramo ziweto kuzungulira midziyo.
3 So they shall haue the cities to dwell in, and their suburbes shall be for their cattell, and for their substance, and for all their beasts.
Midziyo idzakhala yawo ndipo azidzakhala mʼmenemo. Malo a msipu adzakhala a ngʼombe, nkhosa ndi zoweta zawo zina zonse.
4 And the suburbes of the cities, which ye shall giue vnto the Leuites, from the wall of the citie outward, shalbe a thousand cubites round about.
“Malo a msipu a mudziwo amene mudzawapatse Aleviwo, adzayambire ku khoma la mudzi ndipo adzatuluke kunja mamita 450, kuzungulira mudziwo.
5 And yee shall measure without the citie of the Eastside, two thousand cubites: and of the Southside, two thousand cubites: and of the Westside, two thousand cubites: and of ye Northside, two thousand cubites: and the citie shalbe in ye middes. this shalbe the measure of the suburbes of their cities.
Kunja kwa mudzi yezani mamita 900 kummawa, mamita 900 kumpoto ndipo mudziwo ukhale pakati. Adzakhala ndi dera limeneli ngati malo a midziyo, owetera ziweto zawo.
6 And of the cities which yee shall giue vnto the Leuites, there shalbe sixe cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint, that he which killeth, may flee thither: and to them yee shall adde two and fourtie cities more.
“Isanu ndi umodzi mwa midzi imene mudzapereke kwa Alevi idzakhala mizinda yopulumukirako, kumene munthu wopha mnzake adzathawireko. Ndipo mudzawapatsenso midzi ina 42.
7 All the cities which yee shall giue to the Leuites, shalbe eight and fourtie cities: them shall ye giue with their suburbes.
Midzi yonse imene mudzapereke kwa Alevi idzakhale 48, pamodzi ndi malo oweterako ziweto.
8 And concerning the cities which yee shall giue, of the possession of the children of Israel: of many ye shall take more, and of few ye shall take lesse: euery one shall giue of his cities vnto the Leuites, according to his inheritance, which hee inheriteth.
Pamene mukupatula midzi imeneyi pa cholowa cha Aisraeli, muchotsepo midzi yambiri pa mafuko aakulu, ndipo midzi pangʼono pa mafuko aangʼono. Fuko lililonse lidzapereka kwa Alevi molingana ndi kukula kwa cholowa chimene lalandira.”
9 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Ndipo Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
10 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When ye be come ouer Iorden into the land of Canaan,
“Yankhula ndi Aisraeli kuti, ‘Pamene muwoloka Yorodani kulowa mu Kanaani,
11 Ye shall appoint you cities, to bee cities of refuge for you, that the slayer, which slayeth any person vnwares, may flee thither.
sankhani midzi ina kuti ikhale mizinda yanu yopulumukirako, kumene munthu wopha munthu wina mwangozi angathawireko.
12 And these cities shalbe for you a refuge from the auenger, that he which killeth, die not, vntill he stand before the Congregation in iudgement.
Adzakhala malo obisalako pothawa munthu wofuna kulipsira, kuti munthu wopha mnzake mwangozi asaphedwe mpaka akayime pamaso pa gulu la anthu kuti akaweruzidwe.
13 And of the cities which ye shall giue, sixe cities shall ye haue for refuge.
Midzi isanu ndi umodzi imene muyiperekeyi idzakhala mizinda yopulumukirako.
14 Ye shall appoint three on this side Iorden, and ye shall appoint three cities in the lande of Canaan which shalbe cities of refuge.
Mupereke itatu mbali ino ya Yorodani ndi itatu ina mu Kanaani kuti ikhale mizinda yopulumukirako.
15 These six cities shalbe a refuge for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for him that dwelleth among you, that euery one which killeth any person vnwares, may flee thither.
Midzi isanu ndi umodzi idzakhala malo opulumukirako Aisraeli, alendo ndi anthu ena onse okhala pakati pawo kuti wina aliyense wopha mnzake mwangozi adzathawireko.
16 And if one smite another with an instrument of yron that hee die, hee is a murtherer, and the murtherer shall die the death.
“‘Ngati munthu amenya mnzake ndi chitsulo, munthuyo nʼkufa, ndiye kuti iyeyo ndi wakupha ndipo wakuphayo aphedwe.
17 Also if hee smite him by casting a stone, wherewith hee may be slaine, and he die, hee is a murtherer, and the murtherer shall die the death.
Kapenanso ngati wina wake ali ndi mwala mʼdzanja mwake womwe ungaphe munthu, ndipo agenda nawo wina, munthu winayo nʼkufa, ndiye kuti iyeyo ndi wakupha ndipo wakuphayo adzayenera kuphedwa.
18 Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may be slaine, if he die, he is a murtherer, and the murtherer shall die the death.
Kapenanso ngati wina ali ndi chibonga mʼdzanja mwake choti nʼkupha nacho munthu, namenya nacho munthu, munthuyo nʼkufa, ndiye kuti iyeyo ndi wakupha, wakuphayo ayenera kuphedwa.
19 The reuenger of the blood himselfe shall slay the murtherer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
Wolipsira adzamuphanso wakuphayo. Pamene akumana naye adzayenera kumupha ndithu.
20 But if hee thrust him of hate, or hurle at him by laying of wait, that he die,
Ndipo ngati wina wake, chifukwa cha udani, aganiza zokankha munthu wina kapena kumuponyera chinthu china mwadala munthuyo nʼkufa,
21 Or smite him through enimitie with his hand, that he die, he that smote him shall die ye death: for hee is a murtherer: the reuenger of the blood shall slay the murtherer when he meeteth him.
kapena ngati, chifukwa cha udani, amenya mnzake ndi nkhonya, mnzakeyo ndi kufa, munthuyo ayenera kuphedwa. Iyeyo ndi wakupha. Wolipsira adzamuphe wakuphayo pamene akumana naye.
22 But if he pusshed him vnaduisedly, and not of hatred, or cast vpon him any thing, without laying of waite,
“‘Koma ngati popanda udani wina uliwonse, mwadzidzidzi akankha wina kapena kumuponyera chinthu osati mwadala,
23 Or any stone (whereby he might be slaine) and sawe him not, or caused it to fall vpon him, and he die, and was not his enemie, neither sought him any harme,
kapena mosamuona nʼkumuponyera mwala womwe utha kumupha, munthuyo nʼkufa, tsono pakuti sanali mdani wake ndipo sanaganizire zomupweteka,
24 Then the Congregation shall iudge betweene the slayer and the auenger of blood according to these lawes.
gulu liweruze pakati pa iye ndi wolipsira monga mwa malamulo ake.
25 And the Congregation shall deliuer the slayer out of the hande of the auenger of blood, and the Congregation shall restore him vnto the citie of his refuge, whither hee was fled: and hee shall abide there vnto the death of the hie Priest, which is anointed with the holy oyle.
Gulu lidzapulumutsa munthu wakuphayo mʼmanja mwa wolipsira uja ndi kumubwezera ku mzinda wopulumukirako kumene anathawira. Ayenera kukhala kumeneko kufikira imfa ya mkulu wa ansembe, amene anadzozedwa ndi mafuta oyera.
26 But if the slayer come without the borders of the citie of his refuge, whither he was fled,
“‘Koma ngati wolakwayo atuluka kunja kwa malire a mzinda wopulumukirako kumene anathawira
27 And the reuenger of blood finde him without the borders of the citie of his refuge, and the reueger of blood slay ye murtherer, he shalbe giltles,
ndipo wobwezera choyipa nʼkumupeza kunja kwa mzindawo, wolipsirayo atha kumupha wolakwayo popanda kugamula mlandu wakupha.
28 Because he should haue remained in the citie of his refuge, vntill the death of the hie Priest: and after the death of the hie Priest, the slayer shall returne vnto the land of his possession.
Wolakwayo ayenera kukhala mu mzinda wopulumukiramowo mpaka imfa ya mkulu wa ansembe ndipo pamenepo atha kubwerera kwawo. Pokhapokha atafa mkulu wa ansembe ndi pamene angathe kubwerera ku malo ake.
29 So these thinges shall be a lawe of iudgement vnto you, throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
“‘Amenewa akhale malamulo ndi malangizo kwa inu nthawi zonse ndi ku mibado ya mʼtsogolo, kulikonse kumene mudzakhalako.
30 Whosoeuer killeth any person, the Iudge shall slay the murtherer, through witnesses: but one witnesse shall not testifie against a person to cause him to die.
“‘Aliyense wopha munthu ayeneranso kuphedwa ngati pali umboni okwanira. Koma wina asaphedwe ngati pali mboni imodzi yokha.
31 Moreouer ye shall take no recompense for the life of the murtherer, which is worthy to die: but he shalbe put to death.
“‘Osalola kulandira dipo lowombolera munthu wakupha yemwe ayenera kuphedwa. Wakupha ayenera kuphedwa.
32 Also ye shall take no recompense for him that is fled to the citie of his refuge, that he should come againe, and dwell in the lande, before the death of the hie Priest.
“‘Simuyeneranso kulandira dipo kwa munthu amene wathawira ku mzinda wopulumikirako kuti wothawayo abwerere kwawo, pokhapokha ngati mkulu wa ansembe wamwalira.
33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye shall dwell: for blood defileth the land: and the land cannot be clensed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
“‘Musayipitse dziko limene mukukhalamolo. Magazi amayipitsa dziko ndipo nʼkosatheka kulipirira dziko chifukwa cha magazi amene akhetsedwa mʼmenemo, kupatula pokhetsa magazi a munthu amene anakhetsa magaziyo.
34 Defile not therefore the lande which yee shall inhabite, For I dwell in the middes thereof: for I the Lord dwel among the children of Israel.
Choncho musadetse dziko limene mukukhalamo, dziko limene Inenso ndimakhalamo, pakuti Ine Yehova, ndimakhala pakati pa Aisraeli.’”
