Numbers 35
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses in the plaine of Moab by Iorden, toward Iericho, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize kati na etando ya Moabi, pembeni ya Yordani oyo etalani na Jeriko:
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.
« Pesa mitindo na bana ya Isalaele ete bapesa na Balevi, wuta na libula oyo bakozwa, bingumba ya kovanda elongo na mabele oyo ezali zingazinga na yango.
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.
Bingumba ekozala mpo na kovanda, mpe mabele ya zingazinga mpo na bibwele na bango, bisalelo na bango mpe banyama na bango nyonso.
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.
Mabele ya zingazinga ya bingumba oyo bokopesa na Balevi ekozala etando ya bametele pene nkama mitano kobanda na mir ya engumba.
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.
Na libanda ya engumba, bokozwa etando ya bametele pene nkoto moko na ngambo ya este, nkoto moko na ngambo ya weste, nkoto moko na ngambo ya nor mpe nkoto moko na ngambo ya sude; mpe engumba ekozala na kati-kati. Yango nde ekozala mabele na bango ya zingazinga.
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.
Bokobongisa mpo na Balevi bingumba motoba ya kokimela mpo ete moto oyo abomi moninga na nko te akoka kokima kuna; bokobakisa bingumba mosusu tuku minei na mibale.
7 All the cities which yee shall giue to the Leuites, shalbe eight and fourtie cities: them shall ye giue with their suburbes.
Na nyonso, bokopesa na Balevi bingumba tuku minei na mwambe, moko na moko elongo na mabele na yango ya zingazinga.
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.
Mpo na bingumba oyo bokopesa na Balevi wuta na libula ya mabele ya bana ya Isalaele, bosengeli kozwa yango kolanda bozwi ya libota moko na moko: libota oyo ezali na bingumba ebele ekopesa mpe bingumba ebele; libota oyo ezali na bingumba moke ekopesa mpe bingumba moke. »
9 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
10 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When ye be come ouer Iorden into the land of Canaan,
« Loba na bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Tango bokokatisa Yordani mpo na kokota na Kanana,
11 Ye shall appoint you cities, to bee cities of refuge for you, that the slayer, which slayeth any person vnwares, may flee thither.
bokopona bingumba ya kokimela mpo ete moto oyo akoboma moto na nko te akoka kokima kuna.
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.
Bingumba yango ekozala ekimelo mpo na bino liboso ya mobukanisi makila; na bongo mobomi akokufa te soki asambi nanu te na miso ya lisanga.
13 And of the cities which ye shall giue, sixe cities shall ye haue for refuge.
Kati na bingumba oyo bokopesa, bingumba motoba ekozala ekimelo mpo na bino:
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.
misato na ngambo ya Yordani, mpe misato kati na Kanana. Ekozala bingumba ya kokimela.
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.
Bingumba nyonso motoba ekozala ekimelo mpo na bana ya Isalaele mpe mpo na bapaya oyo bakozala kati na bino. Boye moto nyonso oyo akoboma moto na nko te akoki kokima kuna.
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.
Soki abeti moninga na ye libende, mpe moninga yango akufi, moto wana azali mobomi; basengeli koboma ye.
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.
Soki abeti moninga na ye libanga, mpe moninga yango akufi, moto wana azali mobomi; basengeli koboma ye.
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.
Soki abeti moninga na ye nzete, mpe moninga yango akufi, moto wana azali mobomi; basengeli koboma ye.
19 The reuenger of the blood himselfe shall slay the murtherer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
Ezali mobukanisi makila nde akoboma mobomi: akoboma ye tango kaka akokutana na ye.
20 But if hee thrust him of hate, or hurle at him by laying of wait, that he die,
Soki abambi moninga na ye eloko na nko mpe moninga yango akufi
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.
to soki abeti moninga na ye likofi mpo ete alingaka ye te, mpe moninga yango akufi, moto wana azali mobomi; boye mobukanisi makila akoboma mobomi tango kaka akokutana na ye.
22 But if he pusshed him vnaduisedly, and not of hatred, or cast vpon him any thing, without laying of waite,
Kasi soki moto atindiki moninga na ye na nko te to na kokana te, soki abambi ye eloko na makanisi mabe te,
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,
soki akweyiseli ye libanga na nko te mpe na kokana te, mpe moninga yango akufi,
24 Then the Congregation shall iudge betweene the slayer and the auenger of blood according to these lawes.
lisanga ekokata makambo oyo kolanda mibeko kati ya mobomi mpe mobukanisi makila.
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.
Lisanga ekokangola mobomi na maboko ya mobukanisi makila mpe ekozongisa ye kati na engumba ya kokimela epai wapi akimaki. Mobomi akovanda kuna kino na kufa ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe oyo bapakolaki mafuta ya bule.
26 But if the slayer come without the borders of the citie of his refuge, whither he was fled,
Nzokande soki mobomi alongwe na engumba ya kokimela epai wapi akimaki,
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,
mpe soki mobukanisi makila akutani na ye libanda ya engumba na ye ya kokimela mpe abomi ye, mobukanisi makila asali mabe te.
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.
Pamba te mobomi asengeli kovanda kati na engumba na ye ya kokimela kino na kufa ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe. Ezali kaka sima ya kufa na ye nde akoki kozonga na mabele na ye.
29 So these thinges shall be a lawe of iudgement vnto you, throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Mitindo oyo ekozala mibeko mpo na bino mpe mpo na bakitani na bino nyonso, na bisika nyonso oyo bokovanda.
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.
Tango nyonso oyo moto akoboma moninga na ye, bakoboma mobomi soki kaka batatoli ebele bafundi, pamba te litatoli ya moto moko ekoki te mpo na kokatela moto etumbu ya kufa.
31 Moreouer ye shall take no recompense for the life of the murtherer, which is worthy to die: but he shalbe put to death.
Bokondima kozwa eloko moko te mpo na kosikola bomoi ya mobomi oyo asengeli na kufa; basengeli kaka koboma ye.
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.
Bokondima mpe kozwa eloko moko te mpo na kopesa ye nzela ya kokima na engumba songolo ya kokimela to ya kozonga kovanda lisusu kati na mokili na ye liboso ya kufa ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe.
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.
Bokokomisa mbindo te mokili epai wapi bozali. Solo, kosopa makila ekomisaka mokili mbindo; pamba te soki makila esopani na mokili, ezali kaka na nzela ya makila ya moto oyo asopi yango nde bakoki kokomisa lisusu mokili peto.
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.
Bokokomisa mbindo te mokili epai wapi bokovanda, mokili epai wapi Ngai mpe nakovanda; pamba te nazali Yawe, navandaka kati na bana ya Isalaele. › »
