Numbers 35
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, [near] Jericho, saying,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy teo Arbota-moaba, amoron’ i Jordana tandrifin’ i Jeriko, ka nanao hoe:
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.
Mandidia ny Zanak’ Isiraely mba hanome tanàna ao amin’ ny zara-taniny avy honenan’ ny Levita; ary homenareo tany manodidina ny tanàna koa izy.
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.
Koa ny tanàna dia honenany; ary ny tany dia ho an’ ny biby fiompiny sy ny fananany mbamin’ ny bibiny rehetra.
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.
Ary ny tany manodidina ny tanàna izay homenareo ny Levita dia izao: Hatramin’ ny màndan’ ny tanàna ka hatramin’ ny faritry ny taniny dia arivo hakiho amin’ ny lafiny efatra avy.
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.
Dia handrefy roa arivo hakiho eo ivelan’ ny tanàna ianareo amin’ ny lafiny atsinanana, ary roa arivo hakiho amin’ ny lafiny atsimo, ary roa arivo hakiho amin’ ny lafiny andrefana, ary roa arivo hakiho amin’ ny lafiny avaratra, ary ny tanàna dia ho eo afovoany; izany no ho taniny manodidina ny tanàna.
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;
Ary izao no tanàna izay homenareo ny Levita: dia tanàna enina, fandosirana, izay homenareo handosiran’ izay nahafaty olona, sy tanàna roa amby efa-polo koa.
7 all the cities which you give to the Levites [are] forty-eight cities, them and their outskirts.
Koa ny tanàna rehetra izay homenareo ny Levita dia valo amby efa-polo mbamin’ ny tany manodidina azy.
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.”
Ary ny amin’ ny tanàna izay homenareo avy amin’ ny zara-tanin’ ny firenen’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia izay be no hanalanareo be, ary izay kely no hanalanareo kely: samy hanome tanàna ho an’ ny Levita izy rehetra araka ny zara-taniny avy.
9 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
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,
Mitenena amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Rehefa tafita an’ i Jordana ianareo ka tonga any amin’ ny tany 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,
dia hifidy tanàna ianareo, ho tanàna fandosirana ho anareo, mba handosiran’ izay nahafaty olona tsy nahy.
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.
Dia ho fandosirana ho anareo mba tsy ho azon’ ny mpamaly rà izany tanàna izany, mba tsy ho faty izay nahafaty olona mandra-pisehony hotsaraina eo anatrehan’ ny fiangonana.
13 As for the cities which you give, six [are] cities of refuge to you;
Ary ireo tanàna homenareo ireo dia ho tanàna fandosirana enina ho anareo.
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.
Ny tanàna telo dia homenareo etỳ an-dafin’ i Jordana etỳ, ary ny tanàna telo kosa homenareo ao amin’ ny tany Kanana; ho tanàna fandosirana ireo.
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.
Ireo tanàna enina ireo dia ho fandosirana ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely sy ny vahiny ary ny mpitoetra ao aminy, mba handosiran’ izay rehetra nahafaty olona tsy nahy.
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.
Kanefa raha misy mamely vy olona ka mahafaty, dia nahafaty olona izy; hatao maty tokoa izay nahafaty olona.
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.
Ary raha misy mamely vato olona ka mahafaty, dia nahafaty olona izy; hatao maty tokoa izay nahafaty olona.
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.
Ary raha misy mamely hazo olona ka mahafaty, dia nahafaty olona izy; hatao maty tokoa izay nahafaty olona.
19 The redeemer of blood puts the murderer to death himself; in his coming against him he puts him to death.
Ny mpamaly rà no mahazo mamono azy; raha mihaona aminy izy, dia mahazo mamono azy.
20 And if he pushes him in hatred, or has cast [anything] at him by lying in wait, and he dies,
Ary raha misy mamely olona noho ny lolom-po, na mitoraka olona amin’ ny fanotrehana, ka mahafaty,
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.
na mamely amin’ ny tànany noho ny fandrafiana ka mahafaty, dia hatao maty tokoa ilay namely; nahafaty olona izy; ny mpamaly rà no mahazo mamono azy, raha mihaona aminy izy.
22 And if, in an instant, without enmity, he has pushed him, or has cast any instrument at him without lying in wait,
Fa raha misy mamely olona tsy nahy, ka tsy noho ny fandrafiana, na mitoraka olona na amin’ inona na amin’ inona, nefa tsy amin’ ny fanotrehana,
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,
na sendra manjera vato ka mahafaty olona, nefa tsy hitany, sady tsy fahavalony izy, na mitady handratra azy,
24 then the congregation has judged between the striker and the redeemer of blood by these judgments.
dia hotsarain’ ny fiangonana ilay namely sy ny mpamaly rà araka izany lalàna izany.
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.
Ary hovonjen’ ny fiangonana ho afaka amin’ ny mpamaly rà ilay nahafaty olona, ka hateriny indray ho ao amin’ ny tanàna fandosirana izay nalehany tamin’ izy nandositra; ary hitoetra ao izy mandra-pahafatin’ ny mpisoronabe izay voahosotra tamin’ ny diloilo masìna.
26 And if the manslayer indeed goes out [from] the border of the city of his refuge to where he flees,
Fa raha mivoaka ho eo ivelan’ ny tanàna fandosirana izay nalehany tamin’ izy nandositra ilay nahafaty olona
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;
ka hitan’ ny mpamaly rà eo ivelan’ ny tanàna, dia azony vonoina izy; ary tsy hisy valin-drà amin’ izany,
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.
satria tokony ho nitoetra tao an-tanàna fandosirana izy mandra-pahafatin’ ny mpisoronabe; fa rehefa maty ny mpisoronabe, dia mahazo mody any amin’ ny zara-taniny ihany ilay nahafaty olona.
29 And these things have been for a statute of judgment to you throughout your generations, in all your dwellings.
Ary izany zavatra izany dia ho lalàna hitondrana anareo hatramin’ ny taranakareo fara mandimby eny amin’ izay rehetra onenanareo.
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.
Ny amin’ izay rehetra mahafaty olona, dia hatao maty izay mahafaty, araka ny tenin’ ny vavolombelona; nefa raha vavolombelona iray monja, dia tsy ampy hanameloka hahafaty olona izany.
31 And you take no atonement for the life of a murderer who [is] condemned to die, for he is certainly put to death;
Ary ianareo tsy handray avotry ny ain’ ny nahafaty olona, izay meloka ka tokony ho faty; fa hatao maty tokoa izy.
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.
Ary ianareo tsy handray avotra ho an’ izay mandositra ho ao an-tanàna fandosirana, mba hodiany indray hitoetra amin’ ny taniny, raha mbola tsy maty ny mpisorona.
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;
Ary aza mametaveta ny tany izay onenanareo, fa ny rà dia fametavetana ny tany; ary ny tany tsy azo anaovana fanavotana ny amin’ ny rà izay nalatsaka teo, afa-tsy amin’ ny ran’ izay nandatsaka azy ihany.
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.”
Ary aza lotoinareo ny tany onenanareo, izay itoerako; fa Izaho Jehovah mitoetra eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
