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,
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 for yourself three cities in the midst of your land, which the Lord your God gives you.
walakkaa biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka ati dhaaltuuf siif kennutti ofii keetiif magaalaawwan sadii addaan baafadhu.
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.
Akka namni nama ajjeese kam iyyuu itti baqatuuf daandiiwwan hojjedhuutii biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka dhaalaatti siif kennu iddoo sadiitti qoodi.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Therefore I charge you, saying, You shall separate for your self three cities.
Sababiin ani akka ati magaalaa sadii ofii keetiif addaan baafattu si ajajeefis kanuma.
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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 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,
Garuu yoo namni tokko nama ollaa isaa jibbee riphee eeggachuudhaan miidhaa irraan gaʼee isa ajjeesee ergasii immoo magaalaawwan kanneen keessaa tokkotti baqate,
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.
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 spare him; so shall you purge innocent blood from Israel, and it shall be well with you.
Garaa hin laafiniif; akka siif toluuf yakka dhangalaafama dhiiga nama qulqulluu Israaʼel keessaa balleessi.
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.
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 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.
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 And if an unjust witness rise up against a man, alleging iniquity against him;
Yoo dhuga baatuun jalʼaan tokko sobaan nama tokkotti dhugaa baʼe,
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.
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 inquiry, and, behold, [if] and unjust witness has borne unjust testimony; [and] has stood up 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 wickedly devised to do against his brother, and you shall remove the evil from yourselves.
waanuma inni obboleessa isaa gochuu yaade sana isa godhaa. Ati hamaa of keessaa baasuu qabda.
20 And the rest shall hear and fear, and do no more according to this evil thing in the midst of you.
Namoonni hafan waan kana dhagaʼanii ni sodaatu; wanni hamaan akkasiis lammata gidduu keetti hin hojjetamu.
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.
Ati gara laafina tokko iyyuu hin argisiisin; qooda lubbuu lubbuun, qooda ijaa ijji, qooda ilkaanii ilkaan, qooda harkaa harki, qooda miillaas miilli baafamuu qaba.
