Deuteronomy 19
1 When YHWH thy Elohim hath cut off the nations, whose land YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;
Sa’ad da Ubangiji Allahnku ya hallakar da al’ummai waɗanda yake ba ku ƙasarsu, sa’ad da kuka kore su, kuka kuma zauna a birane da gidajensu,
2 Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee to possess it.
sai ku keɓe wa kanku birane uku waɗanda suke a tsakiyar ƙasar da Ubangiji Allahnku yake ba ku ku mallaka.
3 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.
Ku gina hanyoyi zuwa cikinsu, ku kuma raba ƙasar da Ubangiji Allahnku yake ba ku gādo kashi uku, saboda duk wani da ya yi kisankai yă iya gudu zuwa can.
4 And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;
Ga doka game da mutumin da ya kashe wani, ya kuma gudu don yă cece ransa, wani wanda ya kashe maƙwabcinsa ba da gangan ba, ba kuwa da wata ƙiyayya a tsakaninsu a dā ba.
5 As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:
Misali, in mutum ya je jeji da maƙwabcinsa domin yankan itace, sai ruwan gatarinsa ya kwaɓe daga ƙotar yayinda yake saran itacen, ya sari maƙwabcin har ya mutu. Mutumin nan zai iya gudu zuwa ɗaya daga cikin waɗannan birane don yă ceci ransa.
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.
In ba haka ba mai neman ɗaukan fansa jini, zai iya binsa cikin fushi, yă cim masa, saboda nisan hanyar, har ya kashe shi, ko da yake bai cancanci mutuwa ba, tun da yake ba ƙiyayya tsakaninsa da abokinsa a dā.
7 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.
Wannan ne ya sa na umarce ku ku keɓe wa kanku birane uku.
8 And if YHWH thy Elohim enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;
In Ubangiji Allahnku ya fadada yankinku, kamar yadda ya alkawarta da rantsuwa wa kakanninku, ya kuma ba ku ƙasar gaba ɗaya kamar yadda ya yi musu alkawari,
9 If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love YHWH thy Elohim, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:
idan dai kun lura, kuka kiyaye umarnin da nake ba ku a yau, wato, ta wurin ƙaunar Ubangiji Allahnku, kuka kuma yi tafiya kullum cikin hanyoyinsa, to, sai ku keɓe ƙarin birane uku.
10 That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.
Ku yi haka don kada a zub da jinin marar laifi a ƙasar da Ubangiji Allahnku yake ba ku gādo, don kada ku kuma zama masu laifin zub da jini.
11 But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:
Amma idan wani mutum yana ƙin maƙwabcinsa, ya kuma yi kwanto yana fakonsa, ya yi masa rauni, har ya kashe shi, sa’an nan ya gudu zuwa ɗaya daga cikin waɗannan birane,
12 Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
dattawan garinsa za su aika a kawo shi, a dawo da shi daga birnin, a miƙa shi ga mai neman fansar jini don yă kashe shi.
13 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
Kada ku ji tausayinsa. Dole ku fid da laifin zub da jinin marar laifi daga Isra’ila, don ku sami zaman lafiya.
14 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee to possess it.
Kada ka gusar da dutsen nuna shaidar iyakar maƙwabcinka wanda kakanni suka sa, a gādon da ka samu a ƙasar da Ubangiji Allahnka yake ba ka mallaka.
15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
Shaidar mutum guda ba tă isa a tabbatar cewa mutum yana da laifi game da laifin da ake tuhumarsa ba, ko kuwa a kan wani laifin da ake zaginsa da aikata ba. Dole a tabbata da batun ta bakin shaidu biyu, ko uku.
16 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;
In wani ɗan sharri ya tashi ya yi wa wani sharri, don a sami wani da laifi,
17 Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before YHWH, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
dole mutanen nan biyu da suke rikici su tsaya a gaban Ubangiji, a gaban firistoci da alƙalai waɗanda suke aiki a lokacin.
18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;
Dole alƙalan su yi bincike sosai, in kuma aka tabbatar mai ba da shaida maƙaryaci ne, yana ba da shaidar zur a kan ɗan’uwansa ne,
19 Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
to, sai a yi da shi yadda ya yi niyya yă yi da ɗan’uwansa. Dole ku fid da mugu daga cikinku.
20 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
Sauran mutane za su ji wannan su kuma ji tsoro, ba kuwa za a ƙara yin irin wannan mugun abu a cikinku ba.
21 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Kada ku ji tausayi, rai yă zama a maimakon rai, ido a maimakon ido, haƙori a maimakon haƙori, hannu a maimakon hannu, ƙafa a maimakon ƙafa.
