Numbers 35
1 The LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,
Awo abaana ba Isirayiri bwe baali nga basiisidde mu nsenyi za Mowaabu ku mugga Yoludaani, okwolekera Yeriko, Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
2 "Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and you shall give suburbs for the cities around them to the Levites.
“Lagira abaana ba Isirayiri nti bawanga Abaleevi ebibuga eby’okubeeramu, nga babiggya mu butaka bwabwe bwe baligabana obw’enkalakkalira. Era babaweerangako n’amalundiro okwetooloola ebibuga ebyo.
3 The cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their livestock, and for their substance, and for all their animals.
Kale, olwo balibeera n’ebibuga ebyokusulangamu, n’amalundiro ag’ente zaabwe n’endiga zaabwe, awamu n’ensolo zaabwe endala ezirundibwa.
4 "The suburbs of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward one thousand seven hundred twenty-two feet six inches around it.
“Amalundiro aganaaweebwanga Abaleevi ab’omu bibuga ebyo ganaapimwanga obugazi okuva ku bbugwe w’ekibuga mita ebikumi bina mu ataano.
5 You shall measure outside of the city for the east side three thousand four hundred forty-five feet, and for the south side three thousand four hundred forty-five feet, and for the west side three thousand four hundred forty-five feet, and for the north side three thousand four hundred forty-five feet, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
Amalundiro ago ganaapimanga obuwanvu bwa mita lwenda ku ludda olw’ebuvanjuba, ne mita lwenda ku ludda olw’ebugwanjuba, ne mita lwenda ku luuyi olw’obukiikakkono, ne mita lwenda ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo, ng’ekibuga kiri wakati. Ago ge ganaabanga amalundiro gaabo ab’omu kibuga.
6 "The cities which you shall give to the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the manslayer to flee to: and besides them you shall give forty-two cities.
“Ku bibuga bye muligabira Abaleevi kugenda kubeerako ebibuga mukaaga eby’okuddukirangamu, omuntu asse omuntu nga tagenderedde. Okwo mulyoke mwongereko ebibuga amakumi ana mu bibiri.
7 All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities together with their suburbs.
Okutwalira awamu muliteekwa okugabira Abaleevi ebibuga amakumi ana mu munaana, mubagattireko n’amalundiro.
8 Concerning the cities which you shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many you shall take many; and from the few you shall take few: everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give of his cities to the Levites."
Omuwendo gw’ebibuga bye muligabira Abaleevi gulyesigamizibwa ku bunene n’obutono obwa buli busika obw’abaana ba Isirayiri. Ab’obusika obunene muliwaayo ebibuga bingi, n’ab’obusika obutono muliwaayo ebibuga bitono.”
9 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
10 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
“Yogera eri abaana ba Isirayiri ng’obagamba nti, ‘Bwe musomokanga omugga Yoludaani ne muyingira mu nsi y’e Kanani,
11 then you shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
mweronderangamu ebibuga ebinaabanga ebibuga byammwe eby’okuddukirangamu; ng’omwo omuntu asse omuntu nga tagenderedde mw’anaddukiranga.
12 The cities shall be to you for refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer not die, until he stands before the congregation for judgment.
Bye binaabanga ebifo eby’obuddukiro okwewala omuwoolezi w’eggwanga, omuntu ateeberezebwa okuba omutemu alemenga okuttibwa nga tasoose kuwozesebwa mu maaso g’ekibiina.
13 The cities which you shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge.
Ebibuga ebyo omukaaga bye mugenda okuwaayo bye binaabanga ebibuga byammwe eby’obuddukiro.
14 You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and you shall give three cities in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge.
Mugenda kuwaayo ebibuga bisatu ku ludda luno olw’ebuvanjuba olwa Yoludaani, n’ebibuga bisatu mu Kanani, okubeeranga ebibuga eby’obuddukiro.
15 For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the foreigner living among them, shall these six cities be for refuge; that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
Abaana ba Isirayiri n’abagenyi bammwe, n’abagwira abanaabeeranga mu mmwe, mwenna munaddukiranga mu bibuga ebyo omukaaga. Kwe kugamba nti omuntu yenna anattanga omuntu nga tagenderedde anaddukiranga omwo.’
16 "'But if he struck him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
“‘Omuntu bw’anaakubanga omuntu n’ekyuma n’amutta, oyo nga mutemu; era omutemu anattirwanga ddala.
17 If he struck him with a stone in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
Era omuntu bw’anaabanga akutte ejjinja mu ngalo ze, n’akuba munne n’ejjinja eryo, omutemu anattirwanga ddala.
18 Or if he struck him with a weapon of wood in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
Oba omuntu bw’anaabanga akutte ekyokulwanyisa eky’omuti mu ngalo ze, ekiyinza okutta omuntu, n’akikubisa munne, munne n’afa, oyo nga mutemu; era omutemu anattirwanga ddala.
19 The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death: when he meets him, he shall put him to death.
Omuwoolezi w’eggwanga yennyini y’anattanga omutemu; bw’anaamusisinkananga anaamuttanga.
20 If he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died,
Omuntu bw’anaabangako ekiruyi ku munne n’amufumita ng’akigenderedde, olw’obukyayi, oba n’amwekwekerera n’amukasuukirira ekintu ne kimukuba ne kimutta,
21 or in enmity struck him with his hand, so that he died; he who struck him shall surely be put to death. He is a murderer, the murderer must surely be put to death; the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death when he meets him.
oba olw’obulabe bw’amulinako n’amukuba ekikonde, munne n’afa, omuntu oyo amukubye ekikonde anaafanga; kubanga mutemu. Omuwoolezi w’eggwanga y’anattanga omutemu oyo ng’amusisinkanye.
22 "'But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled on him anything without lying in wait,
“‘Singa omuntu afumita munne mangwago, gw’atalinaako bulabe, oba n’akasuka ekintu nga tagenderedde ne kimukuba,
23 or with any stone, by which a man may die, not seeing him, and cast it on him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm;
oba n’ayiringisa ejjinja, eriyinza okutta omuntu, ne limugwako nga tamulabye, n’afa; olwokubanga teyali mulabe we, era nga yali tagenderedde kumulumya;
24 then the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances;
kale, olukiiko lw’ekibiina lunaasalangawo wakati we n’omuwoolezi w’eggwanga, nga lugoberera amateeka gano nga bwe gali.
25 and the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, where he was fled: and he shall dwell in it until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
Omussi oyo olukiiko lw’ekibiina lunaamuwonyanga omuwoolezi w’eggwanga, ne lumuleka n’abeeranga mu kibuga kye eky’obuddukiro okutuusa Kabona Omukulu eyafukibwako amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni amatukuvu ng’amaze okufa.
26 "'But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, where he flees,
“‘Naye omussi oyo bwe kanaamutandanga n’afulumako mu kibuga kye eky’obuddukiro mwe yaddukira,
27 and the avenger of blood find him outside of the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the manslayer; he shall not be guilty of blood,
omuwoolezi w’eggwanga n’amala amusanga ebweru w’ekibuga ekyo, n’amutta, omuwoolezi w’eggwanga taabengako musango gwa butemu.
28 because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the manslayer shall return into the land of his possession.
Kubanga omussi oyo kinaamusaaniranga okubeera mu kibuga kye eky’obuddukiro okutuusa nga Kabona Omukulu amaze okufa. Kabona Omukulu anaamalanga kufa, omussi oyo n’addayo ewuwe mu bintu bye eby’obutaka.
29 "'These things shall be for a statute and ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
“‘Gano ganaabeeranga mateeka gammwe ge munaakwatanga mu mirembe gyammwe gyonna ne buli we munaabeeranga.
30 "'Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person that he die.
Omuntu bw’anattanga munne, ne wabaawo obujulizi, omutemu oyo naye anaafanga. Naye tewaabengawo attibwa ku bujulizi obw’omuntu omu yekka.
31 "'Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death.
“‘Temukkirizanga mutango olw’okununula omussi asingiddwa omusango ogw’obutemu n’asalirwa okuttibwa; anaateekwanga okuttibwa.
32 "'You shall take no ransom for him who is fled to his city of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
“‘Temukkirizanga mutango ogw’okununula omussi abeera mu kibuga eky’obuddukiro, alyoke aveeyo addeyo ewuwe nga Kabona Omukulu tannaba kufa.
33 "'So you shall not pollute the land in which you are: for blood, it pollutes the land; and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it, but by the blood of him who shed it.
“‘Temwonoonanga nsi gye mubeeramu. Okuyiwa omusaayi kyonoona ensi; okutangiririra ensi omuyiise omusaayi si kyangu, okuggyako ng’etangiririrwa n’omusaayi gw’oyo eyayiwa omusaayi mu nsi omwo.
34 You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell: for I, the LORD, dwell in the midst of the children of Israel.'"
Temwonoonanga nsi mwe mubeera nange mwe mbeera, kubanga Nze, Mukama Katonda, mbeera wakati mu baana ba Isirayiri.’”
