Joshua 20
1 The LORD also spoke to Joshua, saying,
OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, i mai la,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spoke to you by the hand of Moses:
E olelo aku oe i na mamo a Iseraela, e i aku, E hookaawale oukou i kekahi mau kulanakauhale, i puuhonua no oukou, me a'u i olelo aku ai ia oukou, ma ka lima o Mose;
3 That the slayer that kills any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
I pee aku ilaila ka pepehi kanaka, ka mea nana i pepehi aku me ka manao ole, aole oia i ike: a no oukou keia mau wahi, i puuhonua, i pakele ai i ka mea hoopai koko.
4 And when he that does flee to one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city to them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
Aia pee aku oia i kekahi o keia mau kulanakauhale, a e ku iluna oia ma ka ipuka o ua kulanakauhale la, a e olelo aku i na pepeiao o ka poe lunakahiko o ua kulanakauhale la i kona mea, e hoonoho lakou ia ia ma ke kulanakauhale me lakou, a e haawi lakou ia ia i wahi e noho pu ai oia me lakou.
5 And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbor unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.
A ina hahai ka mea hoopai koko ia ia, aole lakou e haawi i ka mea pepehi kanaka i kona lima; no ka mea, ua pepehi oia i kona hoanoho me ka ike ole; aole inaina oia ia ia mamua.
6 And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come to his own city, and to his own house, to the city from where he fled.
A e noho oia ma na kulanakauhale la, a hiki i ka wa o kona ku ana imua o ke anaina no ka hookolokolo ana, a hiki i ka wa o ka make ana o ke kahuna nui o ia mau la; alaila, e hoi ua kanaka pepehi la, e hele oia i kona kulanakauhale, i kona hale iho, a i ke kulanakauhale ana i haalele ai.
7 And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron, in the mountain of Judah.
A hookapu iho la lakou ia Kedesa, ma Galilaia ma ka mauna o Napetali, a me Sekema ma ka mauna o Eperaima, a me Kiriatareba, oia o Heberona ma ka mauna o Iuda.
8 And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness on the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.
A i kela kapa o Ioredane ma Ieriko, ma ka hikina, hookapu iho la lakou ia Bezera, ma ka waonahele ma ka papu, i ka aina o ka ohana a Reubena, a me Ramota, ma Gileada, i ka aina o ka ohana a Gada, a me Golana, ma Basana, i ka aina o ka ohana a Manase.
9 These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourns among them, that whoever kills any person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
E lilo no keia mau kulanakauhale i puuhonua no na mamo a Iseraela a pau, a me ka malihini e noho pu ana mawaena o lakou, i pee aku ai ilaila kela mea keia mea i pepehi kanaka me ka manao ole, i make ole oia i ka lima o ka mea hoopai koko, a hiki i ka wa o kona ku ana imua o ke anainakanaka.
