Numbers 35
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses in the plaine of Moab by Iorden, toward Iericho, saying,
Waaqayyos dirreewwan Moʼaab irratti, Yordaanos biratti, Yerikoo gamatti Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
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.
“Israaʼeloonni dhaala ofii isaaniitii argachuuf jiran keessaa magaalaawwan Lewwonni keessa jiraatan akka isaanii kennan Israaʼeloota ajaji. Lafa horii itti bobbaafatanis naannoo magaalaawwaniitti haa kennaniif.
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.
Isaanis magaalaawwan keessa jiraatanii fi lafa itti loon isaaniitii fi horii isaanii kaan hunda bobbaafatan ni qabaatu.
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.
“Lafti horiin itti bobbaʼu kan isin naannoo magaalaawwaniitti Lewwotaaf kennitan sun dallaa magaalaa irraa jalqabee gama hundaan dhundhuma kuma tokko achi balʼata.
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.
Magaalaa sana gidduutti hambisuudhaan karaa alaatiin gama baʼaatiin dhundhuma kuma lama, gama kibbaatiin dhundhuma kuma lama, gama dhiʼaatiin dhundhuma kuma lama, gama kaabaatiin immoo dhundhuma kuma lama safaraa. Iddoowwan kunneen magaalaawwan sanaaf iddoowwan itti horii bobbaafatan taʼu.
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.
“Magaalaawwan jaʼan isin Lewwotaaf kennitan magaalaawwan itti baqatan kanneen namni nama ajjeese itti baqatu taʼu. Magaalaawwan afurtamii lamas kanatti dabalaatii isaanii kennaa.
7 All the cities which yee shall giue to the Leuites, shalbe eight and fourtie cities: them shall ye giue with their suburbes.
Walumaa galatti magaalaawwan afurtamii saddeet kanneen lafa tika ofii isaanii qaban Lewwotaaf kennaa.
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.
Magaalaawwan isin lafa Israaʼeloonni dhaalan irraa Lewwotaaf kennitan, akkuma qooda dhaala tokkoo tokkoo gosaatti haa taʼu; gosa dhaala baayʼee qabu irraa magaalaawwan baayʼee, gosa dhaala muraasa qabu irraa immoo magaalaawwan xinnoo fuudhaa.”
9 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe:
10 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When ye be come ouer Iorden into the land of Canaan,
“Israaʼelootatti dubbadhu; akkanas jedhiin: ‘Isin yommuu Yordaanosin ceetanii Kanaʼaanitti galtanitti,
11 Ye shall appoint you cities, to bee cities of refuge for you, that the slayer, which slayeth any person vnwares, may flee thither.
akka isin magaalaawwan itti baqatan kanneen namni tasa nama ajjeese itti baqatu isinii taʼaniif magaalaawwan filadhaa.
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.
Magaalaawwan kunneenis akka namni nama ajjeesuudhaan himatame utuu murtii argachuuf waldaa duratti hin dhiʼaatin hin duuneef iddoo inni itti nama haaloo isa baʼu jalaa baqatu taʼu.
13 And of the cities which ye shall giue, sixe cities shall ye haue for refuge.
Magaalaawwan isin kennitan jaʼan kunneenis magaalaawwan itti baqattan isinii taʼu.
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.
Yordaanos gamanaan magaalaawwan sadii, Kanaʼaan keessaa immoo magaalaawwan sadii, magaalaawwan itti baqatan godhaa kennaa.
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.
Magaalaawwan jaʼan kunneen akka namni tasa nama ajjeese kam iyyuu itti baqatuuf Israaʼelootaaf, alagootaa fi saba isaan gidduu jiraatuuf iddoo itti baqatan taʼu.
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.
“‘Namni tokko yoo meeshaa sibiilaatiin nama dhaʼee namichi sun duʼe, inni ajjeese sun nama gumaa ti; namichi ajjeese sun ajjeefamuu qaba.
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.
Yookaan namni tokko yoo dhagaa nama ajjeesuu dandaʼu harkatti qabatee nama dhaʼee ajjeese, inni nama gumaa ti; namichi nama ajjeese sun ajjeefamuu qaba.
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.
Yookaan namni tokko yoo meeshaa mukaa kan nama ajjeesuu dandaʼu harkatti qabatee nama dhaʼee namichi sun duʼe, inni ajjeese sun nama gumaa ti; namichi nama ajjeese sun ajjeefamuu qaba.
19 The reuenger of the blood himselfe shall slay the murtherer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
Namichi haaloo dhiigaa baʼu sun namicha nama ajjeese sana haa ajjeesu; inni yommuu argatutti isa haa ajjeesu.
20 But if hee thrust him of hate, or hurle at him by laying of wait, that he die,
Namni tokko yoo jibbaan nama darbatee lafaan dhaʼee yookaan beekaa waa itti darbachuudhaan isa ajjeese,
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.
yookaan yoo diinummaadhaan kaʼee harkaan isa dhaʼee namichi sun duʼe, inni nama ajjeese sun ajjeefamuu qaba; inni nama gumaa ti. Namichi haaloo dhiigaa baʼu sun namicha nama ajjeese sana yeroo argatutti isa haa ajjeesu.
22 But if he pusshed him vnaduisedly, and not of hatred, or cast vpon him any thing, without laying of waite,
“‘Garuu inni yoo utuu diinummaa hin qabaatin tasa nama darbatee lafaan dhaʼe yookaan utuu hin beekin waan tokko isatti darbatee
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,
yookaan utuu isa hin argin dhagaa isa ajjeesuu dandaʼu itti gad dhiisee namichi sun duʼe, inni waan diina isaa hin taʼinii fi isa miidhuuf hin yaadiniif
24 Then the Congregation shall iudge betweene the slayer and the auenger of blood according to these lawes.
waldaan sun akkuma seera kanneeniitti namicha nama ajjeese sanaa fi isa haaloo dhiigaa baʼu sana gidduutti murtii haa kennu.
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.
Waldaan sun namicha nama ajjeesuudhaan himatame sana harka namicha haaloo dhiigaa baʼu sanaa jalaa baasee magaalaa inni itti baqatee ture sanatti deebisee isa haa ergu. Innis hamma lubni ol aanaan zayitii qulqulluudhaan dibame sun duʼutti achuma haa turu.
26 But if the slayer come without the borders of the citie of his refuge, whither he was fled,
“‘Taʼus yoo namichi nama ajjeese sun daarii magaalaa itti baqate sanaa keessaa baʼee
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,
namichi haaloo dhiigaa baʼu sun magaalaa sanaan alatti isa argate, namichi haaloo dhiigaa baʼu sun namicha himatame sana ajjeesuu dandaʼa; yakka ajjeechaa sanaattis hin gaafatamu.
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.
Namichi nama ajjeese sun hamma lubni ol aanaan sun duʼutti magaalaa itti baqate keessa turuu qaba; inni erga lubichi ol aanaan duʼee booddee gara qabeenya isaatti deebiʼuu dandaʼa.
29 So these thinges shall be a lawe of iudgement vnto you, throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
“‘Isaan kunneenis dhaloota dhufu keessatti lafa isin jiraattan kamitti iyyuu seeraa fi qajeelfama isiniif haa taʼan.
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.
“‘Namni kam iyyuu yoo nama ajjeese namichi sun ragaa dhugaa baatonni kennaniin ajjeefama. Taʼus namni kam iyyuu dhuga baʼumsa nama tokkoo qofaan hin ajjeefamin.
31 Moreouer ye shall take no recompense for the life of the murtherer, which is worthy to die: but he shalbe put to death.
“‘Namicha nama ajjeesee duuti isaaf malu tokko irraa gumaa lubbuu hin fudhatinaa. Inni ajjeefamuu qaba.
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.
“‘Akka inni utuu lubichi ol aanaan hin duʼin dura biyya ofii isaatti deebiʼee achi jiraatu eeyyamuuf jettanii nama gara magaalaa itti baqataniitti baqate kamiif iyyuu gumaa hin fudhatinaa.
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.
“‘Sababii dhangalaafamuun dhiigaa biyya xureessuuf, isin biyya keessa jiraattan sana hin xureessinaa; dhiiguma namicha dhiiga dhangalaase sanaatiin malees biyya dhiigni itti dhangalaafame sanaaf araarri hin buufamu.
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.
Biyya isin keessa jirtan iddoo ani jiraadhu sana hin xureessinaa. Ani Waaqayyo Israaʼeloota gidduu nan jiraadhaatii.’”
