Joshua 20
1 The LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua,
2 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'Assign the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you by Moses,
“Fahk nu sin mwet Israel elos in sulela siti in molela oana ke nga tuh fahk Moses elan fahkot nu sum.
3 that the manslayer who kills any person accidentally or unintentionally may flee there. They shall be for you a refuge from the avenger of blood.
Fin oasr mwet se uniya sie mwet ke tia ma el akoo in orala a ma ke ongla ouiya, elan ku in kaingla nu we ac suk molela liki mwet se ma suk in foloksak nu sel an.
4 He shall flee to one of those cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city. They shall take him into the city with them, and give him a place, that he may live among them.
El fin kaingla nu in sie siti inge, el enenu in tui ke acn in nununku ke acn in utyak an, ac fahkak ma se el orala an nu sin mwet kol in siti sacn. Na elos fah ku in eisal nu in siti sac ac sang sie acn elan muta we.
5 If the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver up the manslayer into his hand; because he struck his neighbor unintentionally, and did not hate him before.
Mwet sukok foloksak inge fin ukwal nu in acn sac, na mwet in siti sac elos tia ku in eisalang nu sel mweyen inkanek in ongla ouiya se pa el tuh eisla moul lun mwet sac kac ah, ac tia ma el akola sel in oru.
6 He shall dwell in that city until he stands before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days. Then the manslayer shall return, and come to his own city, and to his own house, to the city he fled from.'"
Mwet sac enenu in mutana in siti sac nwe ke na orekla nununku nu sel sin mwet kol in acn sac, ac nwe ke na Mwet Tol Fulat se lun Israel in pacl sac el misa. Tukun pacl se inge, na mwet sacn fah ku in folokla nu in acn sel ma el kaingla we me.”
7 They set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.
Ouinge elos sulela acn Kedesh in Galilee ke fineol in acn lal Naphtali, ac Shechem ke fineol in acn lal Ephraim, ac Hebron (Kiriath-arba) ke fineol in acn lal Judah. Siti inge kewa oan roto in Infacl Jordan.
8 Beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer on the wilderness plateau out of the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.
Elos sulela Bezer in acn mwesis lal Reuben, ac Ramoth in Gilead in acn lal Gad, ac Golan in Bashan in acn lal Manasseh. Siti inge kewa oan kutulap in Infacl Jordan ke acn tupasrpasr ke fineol kutulap in Jericho.
9 These were the appointed cities for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger who sojourns among them, that whoever kills any person unintentionally might flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stands before the congregation.
Kutena sin mwet Israel, ku mwetsac su muta inmasrlolos, fin eisla moul lun sie mwet ke ongla ouiya, el ku in kaingla nu in sie sin siti inge, na ac tia anwuki el sin mwet ma suk in foloksak nu sel meet liki nununkeyuk el yurin mwet kol in acn sac.
