Deuteronomy 19
1 And when the Lord your God shall have destroyed the nations, which God gives you, [even] the land, and you shall inherit them, and dwell in their cities, and in their houses,
“Tukun LEUM GOD lowos el kunausla mwet ma la acn El ac asot nu suwos, ac tukun kowos eis siti selos ac lohm selos ac oakwuki we,
2 you shall separate for yourself three cities in the midst of your land, which the Lord your God gives you.
kowos fah srela tolu siti an ke facl se su LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos.
3 Take a survey of your way, and you shall divide the coasts of your land, which the Lord your God apportions to you, into three parts, and there shall be there a refuge for every manslayer.
Kowos fah srikeya facl sac, ac kitalik nu ke ip tolu — kais sie ip inge in oasr siti in molela se we ma ac firsrasr nu sin sie mwet in kaing nu we. Na fin sie mwet el uniya sie pacna mwet, el ac ku in kaing ac moulla we.
4 And this shall be the ordinance of the manslayer, who shall flee there, and shall live, whoever shall have struck his neighbor ignorantly, whereas he hated him not in times past.
“Sie mwet fin ongla ouiya uniya sie mwet su tia mwet lokoalok lal, na el ku in kaing nu in sie sin siti inge ac moulla.
5 And whoever shall enter with his neighbor into the thicket, to gather wood, if the hand of him that cuts wood with the axe should be violently shaken, and the axe head falling off from the handle should light on his neighbor, and he should die, he shall flee to one of these cities, and live.
Fin pa mwet luo tukeni som nu insak uh in pakpuk sak, na sie seltal paki sak soko, ac mutun tuhla ah tufwacla liki fung ah, ac uniya mwet se ngia, el ku in kasrusr nu in sie sin siti tolu an ac moulla.
6 Lest the avenger of blood pursue after the slayer, because his heart is hot, and overtake him, if the way be too long, and kill him, though there is to this man no sentence of death, because he hated him not in time past.
Fin siti sefanna, ac ku in arulana loesla, pwanang mwet se ma suk in foloksak ke misa sac ac ku in sruokilya, ac in kasrkusrak lal el uniya sie mwet wangin mwata. Wangin mwatal mweyen el tia oru in ouiya, ac mwet sac tia pac mwet lokoalok lal.
7 Therefore I charge you, saying, You shall separate for your self three cities.
Pa inge sripa se sis nga sapkin kowos in srela siti in molela tolu.
8 And if the Lord shall enlarge your borders, as he sware to your fathers, and the Lord shall give to you all the land which he said he would give to your fathers;
“Pacl LEUM GOD lowos El ac akyokyelik facl suwos, oana ke El tuh fahk nu sin papa matu tomowos mu El ac oru, ac sot nu suwos acn nukewa El tuh wulela kac,
9 if you shall listen to do all these commands, which I charge you this day, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways continually; you shall add for yourself yet three cities to these three.
na kowos fah sulela tolu pac siti an. (El ac sot nu suwos facl inge kowos fin oru ma nukewa ma nga sapkin nu suwos misenge, ac kowos fin lungse LEUM GOD lowos, ac moul fal nu ke mwe luti lal.)
10 So innocent blood shall not be spilt in the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit, and there shall not be in you one guilty of blood.
Oru ma inge, tuh mwet su wangin mwata fah tia misa, ac in wangin pac mwatuwos ke sripen mwet se ma wangin mwata tiana anwuki in facl se ma LEUM GOD El sot nu suwos.
11 But if there should be in you a man hating his neighbor, and he should lay wait for him, and rise up against him, and strike him, that he die, and he should flee to one of these cities,
“Tusruktu, fin pa sie mwet el nuna oru elan akmuseya mwet lokoalok se lal, ac el kaing nu in sie siti ingo elan moulla.
12 then shall the elders of his city send, and take him thence, and they shall deliver him into the hands of the avengers of blood, and he shall die.
Ke lumah ouinge, na mwet kol lun siti sel sifacna ac fah sap in utuku el, ac eisalang nu inpoun mwet foloksak ke akmas, tuh elan anwuki.
13 Your eye shall not spare him; so shall you purge innocent blood from Israel, and it shall be well with you.
Kowos fah tia pakomutal. Sisla mwet akmas se inge liki Israel tuh ma nukewa in wo nu suwos.
14 You shall not move the landmarks of your neighbor, which your fathers set in the inheritance, in which you have obtained a share in the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit.
“Kowos in tia mokle masrol ke acn lun mwet tulan lowos, ma oakwuki in pacl oemeet me in facl se su LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos.
15 One witness shall not stand to testify against a man for any iniquity, or for any fault, or for any sin which he may commit; by the mouth of two witnesses, or by the mouth of three witnesses, shall every word be established.
“Mwet loh sefanna tia fal in akkeyala lah oasr mwatan sie mwet ke kutena ma koluk ku ma sutuu. Enenu na in oasr mwet loh luo, ku pus liki, in akpwayeye lah oasr mwatan mwet se.
16 And if an unjust witness rise up against a man, alleging iniquity against him;
Sie mwet fin srike in akkolukye sie pac mwet ke el orek loh kikiap mu mwet sac orala ma koluk se,
17 then shall the two men between whom the controversy is, stand before the Lord, and before the priests, and before the judges, who may be in those days.
eltal na kewa enenu in som nu ke acn in alu se ma solla, tuh in nununkeyuk eltal sin mwet tol ac mwet nununku su orekma in pacl sac.
18 And the judges shall make diligent inquiry, and, behold, [if] and unjust witness has borne unjust testimony; [and] has stood up against his brother;
Mwet nununku elos fah sokak akwoya lah mea sripen tukak sac. Mwet se ma tukak lain mwet Israel se wial fin sutuu,
19 then shall you do to him as he wickedly devised to do against his brother, and you shall remove the evil from yourselves.
el pa ac eis kaiyuk ma akoeyuk nu sin mwet tukakyak sac. In ouiya se inge kowos ac fah sisla ma koluk se inge liki inmasrlowos.
20 And the rest shall hear and fear, and do no more according to this evil thing in the midst of you.
Na mwet nukewa fah lohng ke ma sikyak inge, ac elos ac fah sangengla ac wangin mwet ac fah sifil oru ouiya koluk se inge.
21 Your eye shall not spare him: [you shall exact] life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Kowos in tiana pakomuta. Kaiyuk nu ke ouiya sie inge pa: moul molin moul, atronmuta molin atronmuta, wihs molin wihs, pao molin pao, nia molin nia.
