Numbers 35

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses to the west of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi i nga mania o Moapa, i te wahi o Horano, ki Heriko, i mea,

2 Give orders to the children of Israel, and they shall give to the Levites cities to dwell in from the lot of their possession, and they shall give to the Levites the suburbs of the cities round about them.

Whakahaua nga tama a Iharaira kia homai ki nga Riwaiti etahi pa o o ratou kainga ka riro nei i a ratou hei nohoanga; me hoatu ano ki nga Riwaiti nga wahi o waho o aua pa a tawhio noa.

3 And the cities shall be for them to dwell in, and their enclosures shall be for their cattle and all their beasts.

A ko nga pa hei nohoanga mo ratou; ko nga wahi hoki o waho ake mo a ratou kararehe, mo o ratou taonga, mo a ratou kirehe katoa.

4 And the suburbs of the cities which you shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outwards two thousand cubits round about.

A, ko nga wahi o waho o nga pa, e hoatu e koutou ki nga Riwaiti, kia kotahi mano nga whatianga i te taiepa atu ano o te pa, a haere whakawaho a tawhio noa.

5 And you shall measure outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and your city shall be in the midst of this, and the suburbs of the cities [as described].

Me ruri ano e koutou i waho o te pa, i te taha ki te rawhiti kia rua mano whatianga, i te taha ki te tonga kia rua mano whatianga, i te taha ki te hauauru kia rua mano whatianga, i te taha hoki ki te raki kia rua mano whatianga, a hei waenganui t e pa: ko nga wahi tenei mo ratou o waho i nga pa.

6 And you shall give the cities to the Levites, the six cities of refuge which you shall give for the slayer to flee there, and in addition to these, forty-two cities.

A kia ono nga pa whakaora i roto i nga pa e hoatu e koutou ki nga Riwaiti; me hoatu hei rerenga atu mo te kaiwhakamate: kia wha tekau ma rua hoki nga pa e tapiritia e koutou ki ena.

7 You shall give to the Levites in all forty-eight cities, them and their suburbs.

Ko nga pa katoa e hoatu e koutou ki nga Riwaiti, kia wha tekau ma waru: era, me nga wahi o waho ake.

8 And as for the cities which you shall give out of the possession of the children of Israel, from those [that have] much [you shall give] much, and from those that have less you shall give less: they shall give of their cities to the Levites each one according to his inheritance which they shall inherit.

A hei roto i te wahi tuturu o nga tama a Iharaira nga pa e hoatu e koutou; kia maha i roto i nga mea maha, kia ouou hoki i roto i nga mea ouou, kia rite ki tona kainga e riro i a ia ona pa e hoatu e tera, e tera, ki nga Riwaiti.

9 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

10 Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, You are to cross over Jordan into the land of Chanaan.

Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, E whiti koutou i Horano ki te whenua o Kanaana;

11 And you shall appoint to yourselves cities: they shall be to you cities of refuge for the slayer to flee to, every one who has killed another unintentionally.

Na ka whakarite i etahi pa mo koutou hei pa whakaora, hei rerenga atu mo te tangata whakamate, i whakamate nei i te tangata, otiia ehara i te mea ata whakaaro.

12 And the cities shall be to you places of refuge from the avenger of blood, and the slayer shall not die until he stands before the congregation for judgment.

A ka waiho e koutou hei pa whakaora kei mate i te kaitakitaki; kei mate te tangata whakamate, kia tu ra ano ia ki te aroaro o te whakaminenga, kia whakawakia.

13 And the cities which you shall assign, [even] the six cities, shall be places of refuge for you.

A kia ono nga pa e waiho hei whakaora, o nga pa e hoatu nei e koutou.

14 You shall assign three cities on the other side of Jordan, and you shall assign three cities in the land of Chanaan.

Kia toru nga pa e hoatu e koutou i tenei taha o Horano, kia toru hoki nga pa e hoatu e koutou i te whenua o Kanaana; me waiho hei pa whakaora.

15 It shall be a place of refuge for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for him that sojourns among you; these cities shall be for a place of refuge, for every one to flee there who has killed a man unintentionally.

Hei whakaora enei pa e ono mo nga tama a Iharaira, mo te manene, mo te nohonoa i roto i a koutou: hei rerenga atu mo nga tangata i mate ai tetahi, otiia ehara i te mea ata whakaaro.

16 And if he should strike him with an iron instrument, and the man should die, he is a murderer; let the murderer by all means be put to death.

Otiia ki te patu ia i a ia ki te mea rino, a ka mate, he kaikohuru ia: kia mate rawa te kaikohuru.

17 And if he should strike him with a stone [thrown] from his hand, whereby a man may die, and he [thus] die, he is a murderer; let the murderer by all means be put to death.

Ki te patu ano hoki ia i a ia ki te kohatu i whiua e ia kia mate rawa ai, a ka mate, he kaikohuru ia: kia mate rawa te kaikohuru.

18 And if he should strike him with an instrument of wood from his hand, whereby he may die, and he [thus] die, he is a murderer; let the murderer by all means be put to death.

Ki te patu ranei ia i a ia ki te mea rakau a te ringa kia mate ai, a ka mate, he kaikohuru ia: kia mate rawa te kaikohuru.

19 The avenger of blood himself shall kill the murderer: whenever he shall meet him he shall kill him.

Ma te kaitakitaki toto ake ano e whakamate te kaikohuhu; e whakamate ia i a ia ina tutaki ki a ia.

20 And if he should thrust him through enmity, or cast any thing upon him from an ambuscade, and the man should die,

Ki te mea he ngakau kino tona, a ka wero ia i a ia; ki te whanga atu ranei ia, a ka epaina atu ia kia mate;

21 or if he have struck him with his hand through anger, and the man should die, let the man that struck him be put to death by all means, he is a murderer: let the murderer by all means be put to death: the avenger of blood shall kill the murderer when he meets him.

Ki te mauahara ranei ia, a ka patu i a ia ki tona ringa e mate ai ia; kia mate rawa te kaipatu, he kaikohuru ia: e whakamatea te kaikohuru e te kaitakitaki toto, ina tutaki ki a ia.

22 But if he should thrust him suddenly, not through enmity, or cast any thing upon him, not from an ambuscade,

Tena ia, mehemea he oho noa ake tana wero i a ia, ehara i te mea mauahara; ki te epaina ranei ia ki tetahi mea, a kihai i whakanga atu;

23 or [strike him] with any stone, whereby a man may die, unawares, and it should fall upon him, and he should die, but he was not his enemy, nor sought to hurt him;

Ki te kohatu ranei, ki te mea e mate ai, a kihai i kitea atu, na kua u ki a ia, a ka mate, kahore ano hoki ona mauahara ki a ia, kihai ano hoki i rapu i te he mona;

24 then the assembly shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood, according to these judgments.

Katahi ka whakarite te whakaminenga i ta te kaipatu, i ta te kaitakitaki toto; kia rite ki enei ritenga:

25 And the congregation shall rescue the slayer from the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, whither he fled for refuge; and he shall dwell there till the death of the high-priest, whom they anointed with the holy oil.

A ka whakaorangia e te whakaminenga te kaiwhakamate i roto i te ringa o te kaitakitaki toto, me whakahoki ano ia e te whakaminenga ki tona pa whakaora, i rere atu ai ia: a ka noho ia ki reira a mate noa te tino tohunga i whakawahia ki te hinu ta pu.

26 But if the slayer should in any wise go out beyond the bounds of the city whither he fled for refuge,

Ki te puta kau atu te kawhakamate ki waho o te rohe o tona pa whakaora i rere atu nei ia;

27 and the avenger of blood should find him without the bounds of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood should kill the slayer, he is not guilty.

A ka pono ki a ia te kaitakitaki toto ki waho o te rohe o tona pa whakaora, a ka patua te kaiwhakamate e te kaitakitaki toto, e kore e whakairia he toto ki a ia:

28 For he ought to have remained in the city of refuge till the high-priest died; and after the death of the high-priest the slayer shall return to the land of his possession.

Me noho hoki ia i roto i tona pa whakaora, kia mate ra ano te tino tohunga; a, muri iho i te matenga o te tino tohunga ka hoki te kaiwhakamate ki tona whenua tupu.

29 And these things shall be to you for an ordinance of judgment throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

Na hei tikanga whakawa enei ma koutou, i o koutou whakatupuranga, i o koutou nohoanga katoa.

30 Whoever kills a man, you shall kill the murderer on the testimony of witnesses; and one witness shall not testify against a soul that he should die.

Ki te patu tetahi i te tangata, ma te mangai o nga kaiwhakaatu e whakamatea ai te kaikohuru: kaua ano te kaiwhakaatu kotahi e whakatau he ki tetahi, e mate ai.

31 And you shall not accept ransoms for life from a murderer who is worthy of death, for he shall be surely put to death.

Kaua ano hoki e tangohia he utu mo te kaikohuru kia ora, ki te mea he hara tona e mate ai: engari kia mate rawa ia.

32 You shall not accept a ransom [to excuse] his fleeing to the city of refuge, so that he should again dwell in the land, until the death of the high-priest.

Kaua ano e tango utu mo te tangata i rere ki tona pa whakaora, kia hoki ai ia ki te whenua noho ai; kia mate ra ano te tohunga.

33 So shall you not pollute with murder the land in which you dwell; for this blood pollutes the land, and the land shall not be purged from the blood shed upon it, but by the blood of him that shed it.

Kia kore ai e whakapokea e koutou te whenua kei reira nei koutou: ma nga toto hoki e poke ai te whenua: heoi ano hoki te mea hei pure i nga toto i whakahekea ki te whenua, ko nga toto o te kaiwhakaheke.

34 And you shall not defile the land whereon you dwell, on which I dwell in the midst of you; for I am the Lord dwelling in the midst of the children of Israel.

Kaua e whakapokea te whenua e noho ai koutou, e noho ai ahau: no te mea e noho ana ahau, a Ihowa, i waenganui i nga tama a Iharaira.
