Numbers 35

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,

I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi i nga mania o Moapa, i te wahi o Horano, ki Heriko, i mea,

2 Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and suburbs for the cities round about them shall ye give unto the Levites.

Whakahaua nga tama a Iharaira kia homai ki nga Riwaiti etahi pa o o ratou kainga ka riro nei i a ratou hei nohoanga; me hoatu ano ki nga Riwaiti nga wahi o waho o aua pa a tawhio noa.

3 And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and for all their beasts.

A ko nga pa hei nohoanga mo ratou; ko nga wahi hoki o waho ake mo a ratou kararehe, mo o ratou taonga, mo a ratou kirehe katoa.

4 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.

A, ko nga wahi o waho o nga pa, e hoatu e koutou ki nga Riwaiti, kia kotahi mano nga whatianga i te taiepa atu ano o te pa, a haere whakawaho a tawhio noa.

5 And ye shall measure without the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.

Me ruri ano e koutou i waho o te pa, i te taha ki te rawhiti kia rua mano whatianga, i te taha ki te tonga kia rua mano whatianga, i te taha ki te hauauru kia rua mano whatianga, i te taha hoki ki te raki kia rua mano whatianga, a hei waenganui t e pa: ko nga wahi tenei mo ratou o waho i nga pa.

6 And the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall give for the manslayer to flee thither: and beside them ye shall give forty and two cities.

A kia ono nga pa whakaora i roto i nga pa e hoatu e koutou ki nga Riwaiti; me hoatu hei rerenga atu mo te kaiwhakamate: kia wha tekau ma rua hoki nga pa e tapiritia e koutou ki ena.

7 All the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them [shall ye give] with their suburbs.

Ko nga pa katoa e hoatu e koutou ki nga Riwaiti, kia wha tekau ma waru: era, me nga wahi o waho ake.

8 And concerning the cities which ye shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many ye shall take many; and from the few ye shall take few: every one according to his inheritance which he inheriteth shall give of his cities unto the Levites.

A hei roto i te wahi tuturu o nga tama a Iharaira nga pa e hoatu e koutou; kia maha i roto i nga mea maha, kia ouou hoki i roto i nga mea ouou, kia rite ki tona kainga e riro i a ia ona pa e hoatu e tera, e tera, ki nga Riwaiti.

9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over Jordan into the land of Canaan,

Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, E whiti koutou i Horano ki te whenua o Kanaana;

11 then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the manslayer which killeth any person unwittingly may flee thither.

Na ka whakarite i etahi pa mo koutou hei pa whakaora, hei rerenga atu mo te tangata whakamate, i whakamate nei i te tangata, otiia ehara i te mea ata whakaaro.

12 And the cities shall be unto you for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation for judgment.

A ka waiho e koutou hei pa whakaora kei mate i te kaitakitaki; kei mate te tangata whakamate, kia tu ra ano ia ki te aroaro o te whakaminenga, kia whakawakia.

13 And the cities which ye shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge.

A kia ono nga pa e waiho hei whakaora, o nga pa e hoatu nei e koutou.

14 Ye shall give three cities beyond Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge.

Kia toru nga pa e hoatu e koutou i tenei taha o Horano, kia toru hoki nga pa e hoatu e koutou i te whenua o Kanaana; me waiho hei pa whakaora.

15 For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the sojourner among them, shall these six cities be for refuge: that every one that killeth any person unwittingly may flee thither.

Hei whakaora enei pa e ono mo nga tama a Iharaira, mo te manene, mo te nohonoa i roto i a koutou: hei rerenga atu mo nga tangata i mate ai tetahi, otiia ehara i te mea ata whakaaro.

16 But if he smote him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a manslayer: the manslayer shall surely be put to death.

Otiia ki te patu ia i a ia ki te mea rino, a ka mate, he kaikohuru ia: kia mate rawa te kaikohuru.

17 And if he smote him with a stone in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a manslayer: the manslayer shall surely be put to death.

Ki te patu ano hoki ia i a ia ki te kohatu i whiua e ia kia mate rawa ai, a ka mate, he kaikohuru ia: kia mate rawa te kaikohuru.

18 Or if he smote him with a weapon of wood in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a manslayer: the manslayer shall surely be put to death.

Ki te patu ranei ia i a ia ki te mea rakau a te ringa kia mate ai, a ka mate, he kaikohuru ia: kia mate rawa te kaikohuru.

19 The avenger of blood shall himself put the manslayer to death: when he meeteth him, he shall put him to death.

Ma te kaitakitaki toto ake ano e whakamate te kaikohuhu; e whakamate ia i a ia ina tutaki ki a ia.

20 And if he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died;

Ki te mea he ngakau kino tona, a ka wero ia i a ia; ki te whanga atu ranei ia, a ka epaina atu ia kia mate;

21 or in enmity smote him with his hand, that he died: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; he is a manslayer: the avenger of blood shall put the manslayer to death, when he meeteth him.

Ki te mauahara ranei ia, a ka patu i a ia ki tona ringa e mate ai ia; kia mate rawa te kaipatu, he kaikohuru ia: e whakamatea te kaikohuru e te kaitakitaki toto, ina tutaki ki a ia.

22 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled upon him any thing without lying in wait,

Tena ia, mehemea he oho noa ake tana wero i a ia, ehara i te mea mauahara; ki te epaina ranei ia ki tetahi mea, a kihai i whakanga atu;

23 or with any stone, whereby a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:

Ki te kohatu ranei, ki te mea e mate ai, a kihai i kitea atu, na kua u ki a ia, a ka mate, kahore ano hoki ona mauahara ki a ia, kihai ano hoki i rapu i te he mona;

24 then the congregation shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood according to these judgments:

Katahi ka whakarite te whakaminenga i ta te kaipatu, i ta te kaitakitaki toto; kia rite ki enei ritenga:

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, whither he was fled: and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.

A ka whakaorangia e te whakaminenga te kaiwhakamate i roto i te ringa o te kaitakitaki toto, me whakahoki ano ia e te whakaminenga ki tona pa whakaora, i rere atu ai ia: a ka noho ia ki reira a mate noa te tino tohunga i whakawahia ki te hinu ta pu.

26 But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, whither he fleeth;

Ki te puta kau atu te kawhakamate ki waho o te rohe o tona pa whakaora i rere atu nei ia;

27 and the avenger of blood find him without the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood slay the manslayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:

A ka pono ki a ia te kaitakitaki toto ki waho o te rohe o tona pa whakaora, a ka patua te kaiwhakamate e te kaitakitaki toto, e kore e whakairia he toto ki a ia:

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.

Me noho hoki ia i roto i tona pa whakaora, kia mate ra ano te tino tohunga; a, muri iho i te matenga o te tino tohunga ka hoki te kaiwhakamate ki tona whenua tupu.

29 And these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

Na hei tikanga whakawa enei ma koutou, i o koutou whakatupuranga, i o koutou nohoanga katoa.

30 Whoso killeth any person, the manslayer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person that he die.

Ki te patu tetahi i te tangata, ma te mangai o nga kaiwhakaatu e whakamatea ai te kaikohuru: kaua ano te kaiwhakaatu kotahi e whakatau he ki tetahi, e mate ai.

31 Moreover ye shall take no ransom for the life of a manslayer, which is guilty of death: but he shall surely be put to death.

Kaua ano hoki e tangohia he utu mo te kaikohuru kia ora, ki te mea he hara tona e mate ai: engari kia mate rawa ia.

32 And ye shall take no ransom for him that is fled to his city of refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.

Kaua ano e tango utu mo te tangata i rere ki tona pa whakaora, kia hoki ai ia ki te whenua noho ai; kia mate ra ano te tohunga.

33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood, it polluteth the land: and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.

Kia kore ai e whakapokea e koutou te whenua kei reira nei koutou: ma nga toto hoki e poke ai te whenua: heoi ano hoki te mea hei pure i nga toto i whakahekea ki te whenua, ko nga toto o te kaiwhakaheke.

34 And thou shalt not defile the land which ye inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell: for I the LORD dwell in the midst of the children of Israel.

Kaua e whakapokea te whenua e noho ai koutou, e noho ai ahau: no te mea e noho ana ahau, a Ihowa, i waenganui i nga tama a Iharaira.
