Numbers 35
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, [near] Jericho, saying,
Le nitsara amy Mosè t’Iehovà a montombei’ i Moabe añ’ olo’ Iardeney tandrife Ierikò eo, ami’ty 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.
Lilio o ana’ Israeleo ty hanolotse rova amo nte-Levio himoneña’e boak’ amo lova fanaña’ iareoo, vaho toloro tane mañohoke o rova’ iareoo ho fiandraza’ o nte-Levio.
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.
Ho fimoneña’ iareo o rovao naho ho fiandrazañe o añombe’eo naho o mpirai-lia’eo vaho o hare’ iareo iabio i tane mañohokey.
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.
Hifototse an-kijoli’ o rova’e eo vaho hitakatse arivo kiho añ’ areare i rovay o tane fiandraza’eo.
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.
Le ho zehè’ areo alafe’ o rovao ty ro’arivo kiho ami’ty ila’e atiñanañe, le ro’arivo kiho ami’ty ila’e atimo, le ro’arivo kiho ami’ty lafe’e ahandrefañe, le ro’arivo kiho an-dafe’e avaratse. Añivo’e ao i rovay. Izay ty ho fanaña’ iareo ho fiandraza’ i rovay.
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;
Le ho rovam-pitsolohañe o rova eneñe hatolo’ areo amo nte-Levioo, ie henga’ areo ho fitribahan-dai’ ze mamono ondaty, mandikoatse izay le ho tolora’ areo rova efapolo-ro’amby iereo.
7 all the cities which you give to the Levites [are] forty-eight cities, them and their outskirts.
Aa le mitraoke ho rova efapolo-valo’ amby ty hatolo’ areo amo nte-Levio rekets’ o tane fiandraza’eo.
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.”
Le boak’ ami’ty fanaña’ o ana’ Israeleo ty hanolora’o i rova rey, hanolotse maro ty fifokoañe bey, naho tsy ampeampe ka ty boak’ ami’ty kede. Songa hanolotse rova amo nte-Levio boak’ amo rova’eo ty amy habei’ i lova ho rambese’ey.
9 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
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,
Misaontsia amo ana’Israeleo, le ano ty hoe: ie mitsake Iardeney mb’an-tane Kanàne mb’eo,
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,
le mijoboña rova ho rovam-pitsolohañe, hivoratsaha’ ty namono ondaty tsy an-tsatri’e.
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.
Rova ho fitsolohañe, hipalira’ areo ami’ty mpamale fate, soa tsy hohofan-doza ty namono ondaty ampara’ t’ie miatre-jaka añatrefa’ i valobohòkey.
13 As for the cities which you give, six [are] cities of refuge to you;
Aa le amo rova atolo’ areoo ty hanolora’ areo rovam-pitsolohañe eneñe.
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.
Ho tolora’ areo rova telo ty alafe’ Iardeney atoy naho ho tolora’ areo rova telo ty an-tane Kanàne ao ho rovam-pitsolohañe.
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.
Ho rovam-pitsoloha’ o ana’ Israeleo i rova eneñe rey, naho ho a o ambahinio naho o renetane añivo’ iereoo, soa t’ie ty hivongarita’ ze mamono ondaty tsy an-tsatri’e.
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.
Aa naho lafae’e ami’ty viñe t’indaty vaho mivetrake indatiy, le mpamono ondaty re, toe ho vonoeñe ty mpamono.
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.
Aa naho fofohe’e ami’ty vato am-pità’eo, ze mahavetrak’ ondaty vaho mihomake indatiy le mpamono re; toe havetrake i mpamonoy.
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.
Aa ie vinango’e an-kataem-pialiañe am-pità’e ao, ze mahavetrak’ ondaty, naho mate indatiy, le mpamono re, vaho toe ho vonoeñe i mpamonoy.
19 The redeemer of blood puts the murderer to death himself; in his coming against him he puts him to death.
Toe i mpamale fatey ty hañoho-doza amy mpamonoy; ie mifanojo ama’e le ho vonoe’e.
20 And if he pushes him in hatred, or has cast [anything] at him by lying in wait, and he dies,
Aa ie maniotse aze mafe ami’ ty falai’e aze, ke mivoñoñe aze, he andretsaha’e raha, vaho mate,
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.
he ami’ty fandrafea’e ro mampitrabotrabok’ am-pità’e hampivetrak’ aze, le toe ho vonoeñe i nampitrabotrabokey. Mpamono re, ho vonoe’ ty mpamale fate te ifanojoa’e.
22 And if, in an instant, without enmity, he has pushed him, or has cast any instrument at him without lying in wait,
F’ie mandronje am-pifanojeha’e fa tsy am-palaiñañe, ke mametsa-draha ama’e fa tsy am-pivoñonañe,
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,
hera am-bato mete mahafate ondaty, ie ahiriri’e mb’eo fe tsy nioni’e indatiy, le mate indatiy, ie tsy nirafelahi’e vaho tsy nikilily te hañe-doza ama’e,
24 then the congregation has judged between the striker and the redeemer of blood by these judgments.
le ho zakae’ i valobohòkey añivo’ i namonoy naho i mpamale fatey amy fañè rezay.
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.
Aa le havotso’ i valobohòkey boak’ am-pità’ i mpamale fatey i namono ondatiy, le hampolie’ i valobohòkey mb’ amy rova fitsolohañe nivoratsaha’ey, ao ty hipalira’e am-para’ te vilasy ty mpisorom-bei’ norizañe amy menake miavakey.
26 And if the manslayer indeed goes out [from] the border of the city of his refuge to where he flees,
Aa naho eo ty andro añaveloa’ i namonoy alafe’ ty efe’ i rovam-pitsolohañe nivotitsiha’ey,
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;
le mahaisak’ aze alafe’ ty efe’ i rovam-pitsolohañey i mpamale fatey, vaho vonoe’ i mpamale fatey, le tsy hanan-tahiñe amy lio’ey re,
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.
amy t’ie tsy mete tsy midok’ am-po’ i rovam-pitsolohañey am-para’ te mihomake ty mpisorom-bey, le ie vilasy i mpisorom-beiy vaho mete mimpoly an-tanem-panaña’e añe i namonoy.
29 And these things have been for a statute of judgment to you throughout your generations, in all your dwellings.
Ho fañè naho fepètse ho anahareo izay amo hene tarira’ areo mifandimbeo ndra aia’aia ty imoneña’ areo.
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.
Ze mamono ondaty, le ho vonoeñe i mpamonoy ami’ty taro’ o nahaisakeo; fa tsy azo amonoañe ondaty ami’ty taro’ ondaty raike;
31 And you take no atonement for the life of a murderer who [is] condemned to die, for he is certainly put to death;
vaho tsy azo jebañeñe ty fiai’ ondaty namono, ie fa voa zaka ami’ ty vono-ondaty; toe tsy mahai-tsy vonoeñe ty mpamono ondaty.
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.
Le tsy azo vilieñ’ ay t’indaty nivoratsake mb’an-drovam-pitsolohañe mb’eo, hampipoliañe aze mb’an-tane’e añe aolo’ ty havilasi’ i Mpisorom-beiy.
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;
Ko mandeotse ty tanen’ akiba’ areo; fa mandeotse tane ty lio, vaho tsy mete mijeba i taney ami’ty lio nadoañe ama’e naho tsy ami’ ty lio’ i nampidoañe azey.
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.”
Aa le ko maniva ty tane’ imoneña’ areo, fa fimoneñako, amy te mitoboke añivo’ o ana’ Israeleo ao, izaho Iehovà.
