Numbers 35
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying:
Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse nan plèn Moab yo akote Jourdain an anfas Jéricho. Li te di:
2 'Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and open land round about the cities shall ye give unto the Levites.
Kòmande fis a Israël yo pou yo bay a Levit yo soti nan eritaj a posesyon pa yo vil pou Levit yo rete ladan. Konsa, nou va bay a Levit yo teren patiraj ki antoure vil yo.
3 And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and their open land shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and for all their beasts.
Vil yo va pou yo, pou yo viv ladann. Teren pa yo va pou bèf pa yo, pou twoupo pa yo ak pou tout bèt pa yo.
4 And the open land about the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
Teren patiraj lavil ke nou te bay a Levit yo va rive soti nan miray lavil yo, pou lonje rive jis a mil koude.
5 And ye shall measure without the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the open land about the cities.
Nou va, osi, mezire deyò lavil la nan kote lès, de-mil koude, nan kote sid, de-mil koude, nan kote lwès, de-mil koude, ak nan kote nò, de-mil koude, avèk vil nan mitan li an. Sa va devni pou yo kòm teren pa yo pou vil yo.
6 And the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall give for the manslayer to flee thither; and beside them ye shall give forty and two cities.
Vil ke nou va bay a Levit yo va sis vil azil kote moun ki touye moun kapab sove ale. Anplis de sa yo, nou va bay karann-de vil.
7 All the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with the open land about them.
Tout vil ke nou va bay a Levit yo va karanntuit vil ansanm avèk teren patiraj pa yo.
8 And concerning the cities which ye shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many ye shall take many, and from the few ye shall take few; each tribe according to its inheritance which it inheriteth shall give of its cities unto the Levites.'
Selon vil ke nou va bay soti nan posesyon a fis Israël yo, nou va pran plis nan men pi gran yo, e nou va pran mwens nan men pi piti yo. A tout selon eritaj li ke li resevwa va bay kèk nan vil pa li yo a Levit yo.
9 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
10 'Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
“Pale avèk fis Israël yo pou di yo: ‘Lè nou fin travèse Jourdain an pou lantre nan peyi Canaran an,
11 then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer that killeth any person through error may flee thither.
alò, nou va apwente pou nou menm vil azil nou, pou sila ki touye moun yo, san entansyon eksprè, kapab sove ale.
12 And the cities shall be unto you for refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation for judgment.
Vil yo va pou nou yon refij kont vanjè yo, pou sila ki touye moun nan pa mouri jiskaske li ta vin kanpe devan kongregasyon an pou jije.
13 And as to the cities which ye shall give, there shall be for you six cities of refuge.
Vil ke nou bay yo va sis vil nou yo pou azil.
14 Ye shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge.
Nou va bay twa vil lòtbò Jourdain an ak twa vil nan peyi Canaran an. Yo va sèvi kòm vil azil.
15 For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the settler among them, shall these six cities be for refuge, that every one that killeth any person through error may flee thither.
Sis vil sila yo va tankou refij pou fis Israël yo, pou etranje a ak pou sila ki demere pami yo, pou nenpòt moun ki touye yon moun san entansyon eksprè kapab sove ale pou rive la.
16 But if he smote him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.
“‘Men si li te frape detwi li avèk yon objè an fè, pou l ta vin mouri, li se yon asasen. Yon asasen va, anverite, vin mete a lanmò.
17 And if he smote him with a stone in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.
Si li te frape li avèk yon wòch nan men l, pou l ta vin mouri, epi li mouri, li se yon asasen. Asasen an va vrèman, vin mete a lanmò.
18 Or if he smote him with a weapon of wood in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.
Oswa, si li te frape li avèk yon bout bwa nan men l pou li ta mouri, e li vin mouri, li se yon asasen. Asasen an va vrèman, vin mete a lanmò.
19 The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death; when he meeteth him, he shall put him to death.
Vanjè san an va, li menm, mete asasen an a lanmò. Li va mete li a lanmò depi li rankontre li.
20 And if he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him any thing, lying in wait, so that he died;
Si li t ap pouse li akoz rayisman, oswa jete yon bagay sou li lè li kouche pou fè pèlen, e kòm rezilta, li te vin mouri,
21 or in enmity smote him with his hand, that he died; he that smote him shall surely be put to death: he is a murderer; the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death when he meeteth him.
oswa, si li te frape li avèk men l an rayisman, e li vin mouri, sila ki te frape li a va, vrèman, vin mete a lanmò. Li se yon asasen. Vanjè san an va mete asasen an a lanmò lè li rankontre li.
22 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled upon him any thing without lying in wait,
“‘Men si li vin pouse li sibitman san rayisman, oswa li te jete yon bagay sou li san entansyon,
23 or with any stone, whereby a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm;
oswa, avèk nenpòt objè mòtèl an wòch, men san wè, li vin tonbe sou li e li vin mouri, pandan li pa t lènmi li, ni li pa t ap chache pou fè li mal,
24 then the congregation shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances;
alò, kongregasyon an va jije antre moun ki touye moun nan avèk vanjè san an, selon òdonans sa yo.
25 and the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, whither he was fled; and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
Kongregasyon an dwe pwoteje moun ki touye moun nan de men a vanjè san an, e kongregasyon an va voye li retounen nan vil azil kote li te sove ale a. Epi konsa, li va viv ladann jiskaske lanmò wo prèt ki te onksyone avèk lwil sen an.
26 But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, whither he fleeth;
“‘Men si moun ki touye moun nan sòti pi lwen ke lizyè pwòp vil azil pa li a, kote li te gen dwa sove ale a,
27 and the avenger of blood find him without the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood slay the manslayer; there shall be no bloodguiltiness for him;
epi vanjè san an vin jwenn li deyò lizyè vil azil li a; epi vanjè san an touye moun ki te touye moun nan, li p ap koupab de san an,
28 because he must remain in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest; but after the death of the high priest the manslayer may return into the land of his possession.
akoz li te dwe rete nan vil azil pa li a jiskaske wo prèt la vin mouri. Men apre lanmò wo prèt la, moun ki te touye moun nan va retounen vè peyi posesyon pa li a.
29 And these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
“‘Bagay sa yo va yon òdonans lalwa pou tout jenerasyon nou yo nan tout abitasyon nou yo.
30 Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses; but one witness shall not testify against any person that he die.
“‘Si, yon moun touye yon moun, asasen an va vin mete a lanmò sou temwayaj temwen yo, men pèsòn pa pou mete a lanmò sou temwayaj a yon sèl temwen.
31 Moreover ye shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer, that is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death.
“‘Anplis, nou pa pou pran ranson pou lavi a yon asasen ki koupab jiska lanmò. Li va, vrèman, vin mete a lanmò.
32 And ye shall take no ransom for him that is fled to his city of refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
Nou pa pou pran ranson pou sila ki te sove ale nan vil azil la, pou l kab retounen viv nan peyi a avan lanmò a wo prèt la.
33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are; for blood, it polluteth the land; and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
“‘Alò, nou pa pou kontamine peyi kote nou rete a; paske san an va kontamine peyi a e nanpwen ekspiyasyon pou peyi pou san ki koule ladann, sof pa san a sila ki te fè vèse san an.
34 And thou shalt not defile the land which ye inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell; for I the LORD dwell in the midst of the children of Israel.'
Nou pa pou konwonpi peyi kote nou rete a, kote Mwen menm rete a. Paske Mwen, SENYÈ a, Mwen ap viv pami fis Israël yo.’”
