Numbers 35
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, [near] Jericho, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize kati na etando ya Moabi, pembeni ya Yordani oyo etalani na Jeriko:
2 “Command the sons of Israel, and they have given to the Levites cities to inhabit from the inheritance of their possession; you also give [the] outskirt around them, of the cities, to the Levites.
« Pesa mitindo na bana ya Isalaele ete bapesa na Balevi, wuta na libula oyo bakozwa, bingumba ya kovanda elongo na mabele oyo ezali zingazinga na yango.
3 And the cities have been for them to inhabit, and their outskirts are for their livestock, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
Bingumba ekozala mpo na kovanda, mpe mabele ya zingazinga mpo na bibwele na bango, bisalelo na bango mpe banyama na bango nyonso.
4 And the outskirts of the cities which you give to the Levites [are], from the wall of the city and outside, one thousand cubits around.
Mabele ya zingazinga ya bingumba oyo bokopesa na Balevi ekozala etando ya bametele pene nkama mitano kobanda na mir ya engumba.
5 And you have measured from the outside of the city: the east quarter—two thousand by the cubit, and the south quarter—two thousand by the cubit, and the west quarter—two thousand by the cubit, and the north quarter—two thousand by the cubit; and the city [is] in the midst; this is the outskirts of the cities to them.
Na libanda ya engumba, bokozwa etando ya bametele pene nkoto moko na ngambo ya este, nkoto moko na ngambo ya weste, nkoto moko na ngambo ya nor mpe nkoto moko na ngambo ya sude; mpe engumba ekozala na kati-kati. Yango nde ekozala mabele na bango ya zingazinga.
6 And the cities which you give to the Levites [are] the six cities of refuge, which you give for the fleeing there of the manslayer, and besides them you give forty-two cities;
Bokobongisa mpo na Balevi bingumba motoba ya kokimela mpo ete moto oyo abomi moninga na nko te akoka kokima kuna; bokobakisa bingumba mosusu tuku minei na mibale.
7 all the cities which you give to the Levites [are] forty-eight cities, them and their outskirts.
Na nyonso, bokopesa na Balevi bingumba tuku minei na mwambe, moko na moko elongo na mabele na yango ya zingazinga.
8 And the cities which you give [are] from the possession of the sons of Israel; from the many you multiply, and from the few you diminish; each, according to his inheritance which they inherit, gives to the Levites from his cities.”
Mpo na bingumba oyo bokopesa na Balevi wuta na libula ya mabele ya bana ya Isalaele, bosengeli kozwa yango kolanda bozwi ya libota moko na moko: libota oyo ezali na bingumba ebele ekopesa mpe bingumba ebele; libota oyo ezali na bingumba moke ekopesa mpe bingumba moke. »
9 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
10 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When you are passing over the Jordan to the land of Canaan,
« Loba na bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Tango bokokatisa Yordani mpo na kokota na Kanana,
11 and have prepared cities for yourselves—they are cities of refuge to you—then a manslayer, striking a person through ignorance, has fled there,
bokopona bingumba ya kokimela mpo ete moto oyo akoboma moto na nko te akoka kokima kuna.
12 and the cities have been for a refuge to you from the redeemer, and the manslayer does not die until his standing before the congregation for judgment.
Bingumba yango ekozala ekimelo mpo na bino liboso ya mobukanisi makila; na bongo mobomi akokufa te soki asambi nanu te na miso ya lisanga.
13 As for the cities which you give, six [are] cities of refuge to you;
Kati na bingumba oyo bokopesa, bingumba motoba ekozala ekimelo mpo na bino:
14 three of the cities you give from beyond the Jordan, and three of the cities you give in the land of Canaan; they are cities of refuge.
misato na ngambo ya Yordani, mpe misato kati na Kanana. Ekozala bingumba ya kokimela.
15 For sons of Israel, and for a sojourner, and for a settler in their midst, are these six cities for a refuge, for the fleeing there of anyone striking a person through ignorance.
Bingumba nyonso motoba ekozala ekimelo mpo na bana ya Isalaele mpe mpo na bapaya oyo bakozala kati na bino. Boye moto nyonso oyo akoboma moto na nko te akoki kokima kuna.
16 And if he has struck him with an instrument of iron, and he dies, he [is] a murderer: the murderer is certainly put to death.
Soki abeti moninga na ye libende, mpe moninga yango akufi, moto wana azali mobomi; basengeli koboma ye.
17 And if he has struck him with a stone [in] the hand, with which he could die, and he dies, he [is] a murderer: the murderer is certainly put to death.
Soki abeti moninga na ye libanga, mpe moninga yango akufi, moto wana azali mobomi; basengeli koboma ye.
18 Or [if] he has struck him with a wooden instrument [in] the hand, with which he could die, and he dies, he [is] a murderer: the murderer is certainly put to death.
Soki abeti moninga na ye nzete, mpe moninga yango akufi, moto wana azali mobomi; basengeli koboma ye.
19 The redeemer of blood puts the murderer to death himself; in his coming against him he puts him to death.
Ezali mobukanisi makila nde akoboma mobomi: akoboma ye tango kaka akokutana na ye.
20 And if he pushes him in hatred, or has cast [anything] at him by lying in wait, and he dies,
Soki abambi moninga na ye eloko na nko mpe moninga yango akufi
21 or he has struck him with his hand in enmity, and he dies, the striker is certainly put to death; he [is] a murderer; the redeemer of blood puts the murderer to death in his coming against him.
to soki abeti moninga na ye likofi mpo ete alingaka ye te, mpe moninga yango akufi, moto wana azali mobomi; boye mobukanisi makila akoboma mobomi tango kaka akokutana na ye.
22 And if, in an instant, without enmity, he has pushed him, or has cast any instrument at him without lying in wait,
Kasi soki moto atindiki moninga na ye na nko te to na kokana te, soki abambi ye eloko na makanisi mabe te,
23 or with any stone with which he could die, without seeing, indeed, causes [it] to fall on him, and he dies, and he [is] not his enemy, nor seeking his evil,
soki akweyiseli ye libanga na nko te mpe na kokana te, mpe moninga yango akufi,
24 then the congregation has judged between the striker and the redeemer of blood by these judgments.
lisanga ekokata makambo oyo kolanda mibeko kati ya mobomi mpe mobukanisi makila.
25 And the congregation has delivered the manslayer out of the hand of the redeemer of blood, and the congregation has caused him to return to the city of his refuge, to where he has fled, and he has dwelt in it until the death of the chief priest who has been anointed with the holy oil.
Lisanga ekokangola mobomi na maboko ya mobukanisi makila mpe ekozongisa ye kati na engumba ya kokimela epai wapi akimaki. Mobomi akovanda kuna kino na kufa ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe oyo bapakolaki mafuta ya bule.
26 And if the manslayer indeed goes out [from] the border of the city of his refuge to where he flees,
Nzokande soki mobomi alongwe na engumba ya kokimela epai wapi akimaki,
27 and the redeemer of blood has found him at the outside of the border of the city of his refuge, and the redeemer of blood has slain the manslayer, blood [is] not [reckoned] to him;
mpe soki mobukanisi makila akutani na ye libanda ya engumba na ye ya kokimela mpe abomi ye, mobukanisi makila asali mabe te.
28 for he dwells in the city of his refuge until the death of the chief priest; and after the death of the chief priest the manslayer turns back to the city of his possession.
Pamba te mobomi asengeli kovanda kati na engumba na ye ya kokimela kino na kufa ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe. Ezali kaka sima ya kufa na ye nde akoki kozonga na mabele na ye.
29 And these things have been for a statute of judgment to you throughout your generations, in all your dwellings.
Mitindo oyo ekozala mibeko mpo na bino mpe mpo na bakitani na bino nyonso, na bisika nyonso oyo bokovanda.
30 Whoever strikes a person, by the mouth of witnesses [one] slays the murderer; and one witness does not testify against a person to cause [him] to die.
Tango nyonso oyo moto akoboma moninga na ye, bakoboma mobomi soki kaka batatoli ebele bafundi, pamba te litatoli ya moto moko ekoki te mpo na kokatela moto etumbu ya kufa.
31 And you take no atonement for the life of a murderer who [is] condemned to die, for he is certainly put to death;
Bokondima kozwa eloko moko te mpo na kosikola bomoi ya mobomi oyo asengeli na kufa; basengeli kaka koboma ye.
32 and you take no atonement for him [who had] to flee to the city of his refuge, to return to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
Bokondima mpe kozwa eloko moko te mpo na kopesa ye nzela ya kokima na engumba songolo ya kokimela to ya kozonga kovanda lisusu kati na mokili na ye liboso ya kufa ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe.
33 And you do not profane the land which you [are] in, for blood profanes the land; as for the land, it is not pardoned for blood which is shed in it except by the blood of him who sheds it;
Bokokomisa mbindo te mokili epai wapi bozali. Solo, kosopa makila ekomisaka mokili mbindo; pamba te soki makila esopani na mokili, ezali kaka na nzela ya makila ya moto oyo asopi yango nde bakoki kokomisa lisusu mokili peto.
34 and you do not defile the land in which you are dwelling, in the midst of which I dwell, for I, YHWH, dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel.”
Bokokomisa mbindo te mokili epai wapi bokovanda, mokili epai wapi Ngai mpe nakovanda; pamba te nazali Yawe, navandaka kati na bana ya Isalaele. › »
