Deuteronomy 19
1 When the LORD your God has cut off the nations, whose land the LORD your God gives you, and you succeed them, and dwell in their cities, and in their houses;
Yommuu Waaqayyo Waaqni kee saboota biyya isaanii siif kennu balleessutti, yommuu ati ariitee isaan baaftee magaalaawwanii fi manneen isaanii keessa qubattutti,
2 You shall separate three cities for you in the middle of your land, which the LORD your God gives you to possess it.
walakkaa biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka ati dhaaltuuf siif kennutti ofii keetiif magaalaawwan sadii addaan baafadhu.
3 You shall prepare you a way, and divide the coasts of your land, which the LORD your God gives you to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.
Akka namni nama ajjeese kam iyyuu itti baqatuuf daandiiwwan hojjedhuutii biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka dhaalaatti siif kennu iddoo sadiitti qoodi.
4 And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoever kills his neighbor ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;
Seerri waaʼee nama nama ajjeesee lubbuu isaa baafachuuf achitti baqatuu jechuunis kan utuu hammina itti hin yaadin akka tasaa nama ollaa isaa ajjeesuu tokko ilaalu kanaa dha.
5 As when a man goes into the wood with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand fetches a stroke with the ax to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the helve, and lights on his neighbor, that he die; he shall flee to one of those cities, and live:
Namni tokko yoo muka murachuuf namicha ollaa isaa wajjin bosona seenee utuu muka muruuf qottoo isaa ol fudhatuu akkuma tasaa sibiilli irraa buqqaʼee namicha ollaa isaa sana dhaʼee ajjeese, namni sun magaalaawwan kanneen keessaa isa tokkotti baqatee lubbuu ofii isaa oolfachuu dandaʼa.
6 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.
Yoo kanaa achii namni haaloo dhiigaa baasu tokko waan namichi nama ajjeese sun utuu duraan dursee hammina itti hin yaadin ollaa isaa ajjeeseef yoo ajjeefamuu hin qabaatin illee fagoo taʼu iyyuu inni aariidhaan duukaa buʼee qaqqabee isa ajjeesuu dandaʼa.
7 Why I command you, saying, You shall separate three cities for you.
Sababiin ani akka ati magaalaa sadii ofii keetiif addaan baafattu si ajajeefis kanuma.
8 And if the LORD your God enlarge your coast, as he has sworn to your fathers, and give you all the land which he promised to give to your fathers;
Yoo Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akkuma abbootii keetiif kakuudhaan waadaa gale sanatti biyya kee siif balʼisee biyya waadaa isaaniif gale sana guutummaatti siif kenne,
9 If you shall keep all these commandments to do them, which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shall you add three cities more for you, beside these three:
ati Waaqayyoon Waaqa kee akka jaallachuu fi yeroo hunda karaa isaa irra akka deemtuuf ajajawwan ani harʼa siif kennu hunda akka gaariitti yoo eegde, magaalaawwan kanneen irratti magaalaawwan sadii ni dabalatta.
10 That innocent blood be not shed in your land, which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, and so blood be on you.
Akka lafa kee kan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee dhaala godhee siif kennu keessatti dhiigni nama qulqulluu hin dhangalaanee fi atis yakka dhiiga dhangalaasuutti akka hin gaafatamneef waan kana godhi.
11 But if any man hate his neighbor, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and flees into one of these cities:
Garuu yoo namni tokko nama ollaa isaa jibbee riphee eeggachuudhaan miidhaa irraan gaʼee isa ajjeesee ergasii immoo magaalaawwan kanneen keessaa tokkotti baqate,
12 Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him there, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
maanguddoonni magaalaa inni keessa jiraachaa turee nama itti erganii magaalaa inni itti baqate sanaa isa haa fichisiisan; akka inni ajjeesuufis nama haaloo dhiigaa baʼutti dabarsanii isa haa kennan.
13 Your eye shall not pity him, but you shall put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with you.
Garaa hin laafiniif; akka siif toluuf yakka dhangalaafama dhiiga nama qulqulluu Israaʼel keessaa balleessi.
14 You shall not remove your neighbor’s landmark, which they of old time have set in your inheritance, which you shall inherit in the land that the LORD your God gives you to possess it.
Biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka dhaaltuuf siif kennu keessatti dhaala dabarfamee siif kennamu irratti dhagaa mallattoo daangaa ollaa keetii kan namoonni durii dhaaban hin hiiqsin.
15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sins: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
Nama yakka yookaan seera cabsuu kamiin iyyuu himatame tokkotti muruuf dhuga baʼumsi nama tokkoo gaʼaa miti. Dubbiin sun dhuga baatota lamaan yookaan sadiin mirkaneeffamuu qaba.
16 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;
Yoo dhuga baatuun jalʼaan tokko sobaan nama tokkotti dhugaa baʼe,
17 Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
namoonni wal dhaban lamaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti lubootaa fi abbootii murtii kanneen yeroo sanatti hojii irra jiran dura haa dhaabatan.
18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and has testified falsely against his brother;
Abbootiin murtiis dubbicha gad fageessanii haa qoran; yoo dhuga baatuun sun sobduu taʼuun isaa mirkanaaʼee obboleessa isaa irratti sobaan dhugaa baʼe,
19 Then shall you do to him, as he had thought to have done to his brother: so shall you put the evil away from among you.
waanuma inni obboleessa isaa gochuu yaade sana isa godhaa. Ati hamaa of keessaa baasuu qabda.
20 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall from now on commit no more any such evil among you.
Namoonni hafan waan kana dhagaʼanii ni sodaatu; wanni hamaan akkasiis lammata gidduu keetti hin hojjetamu.
21 And your eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Ati gara laafina tokko iyyuu hin argisiisin; qooda lubbuu lubbuun, qooda ijaa ijji, qooda ilkaanii ilkaan, qooda harkaa harki, qooda miillaas miilli baafamuu qaba.
