Numbers 35
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses in the waste plains of Moab, —by 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, that they give unto the Levites—out of the inheritance which they possess—cities to dwell in, —pasture land also unto the cities, round about them, shall ye give unto 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 So shall the cities be theirs, to dwell in, —and their pasture lands, shall, be for their cattle 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 pasture lands of the cities which ye shall give unto the Levite, shall be, —from the wall of the city, and outwards, a thousand cubits round about
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 So ye shall measure—on the outside of the city—the eastward 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, with, the city, in the midst. This, shall be unto them the pasture lands of the cities,
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, among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall give that the manslayer may flee thither, —and besides them, ye shall 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 ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be forty-eight cities, —them, and their pasture lands,
Koa ny tanàna rehetra izay homenareo ny Levita dia valo amby efa-polo mbamin’ ny tany manodidina azy.
8 And as touching the cities which ye shall give out of the possession of the sons of Israel from the many, shall ye take many, and from the few, shall ye take few, —each, according to his inheritance, which they shall inherit, shall give of his cities unto the Levites.
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 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
10 Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, —When ye are passing over the Jordan unto the land of Canaan,
Mitenena amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Rehefa tafita an’ i Jordana ianareo ka tonga any amin’ ny tany Kanana,
11 then shall ye find for you, convenient cities, cities of refuge, shall they be unto you, —and the manslayer, who hath slain a person, by mistake, shall flee thither.
dia hifidy tanàna ianareo, ho tanàna fandosirana ho anareo, mba handosiran’ izay nahafaty olona tsy nahy.
12 So shall the cities serve you for places of refuge from the redeemer, —that the manslayer may not die, until he has stood before the assembly, 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 And as touching the cities which ye shall give six cities of refuge, shall there be unto you.
Ary ireo tanàna homenareo ireo dia ho tanàna fandosirana enina ho anareo.
14 Three of the cities, shall ye give, on this side the Jordan, and three of the cities, shall ye give in the land of Canaan, —cities of refuge, shall they be.
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 the sons of Israel and for the sojourner. and for the settler in your midst, shall these six cities serve, as places of refuge, —that any one may flee thither who hath slain a person, by mistake.
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 If, then, with an instrument of iron, he smote him, and he died, a manslayer, he is, —a manslayer, shall surely die.
Kanefa raha misy mamely vy olona ka mahafaty, dia nahafaty olona izy; hatao maty tokoa izay nahafaty olona.
17 Or if with a stone thrown by hand, where-by one might die, he smote him and he died, a manslayer, he is, —the man-slayer, shall surely die,
Ary raha misy mamely vato olona ka mahafaty, dia nahafaty olona izy; hatao maty tokoa izay nahafaty olona.
18 Or, if with hand-weapon of wood, wherewith one might die, he smote him and he died a manslayer, he is, —the manslayer shall surely die.
Ary raha misy mamely hazo olona ka mahafaty, dia nahafaty olona izy; hatao maty tokoa izay nahafaty olona.
19 The blood-redeemer, he, shall put to death the man-slayer, —when he lighteth upon him, he, shall put him to death.
Ny mpamaly rà no mahazo mamono azy; raha mihaona aminy izy, dia mahazo mamono azy.
20 Or if with hate, he shall thrust at him, or hurl at him designedly, and he have died,
Ary raha misy mamely olona noho ny lolom-po, na mitoraka olona amin’ ny fanotrehana, ka mahafaty,
21 or if with enmity, he hath smitten him with his hand and he is dead, then shall he that dealt the blow, be surely put to death. a manslayer, he is—the blood-redeemer shall put to death the man-slayer, when he lighteth upon 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 But if suddenly, without enmity, he shall thrust him, or hurl upon him any missile, without design;
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 whereby one might die without seeing him, and it fall upon him, and he dieth; he, not being at enmity with him, nor seeking to harm him,
na sendra manjera vato ka mahafaty olona, nefa tsy hitany, sady tsy fahavalony izy, na mitady handratra azy,
24 then shall the assembly judge, between him that smote and the blood-redeemer, —according to these regulations;
dia hotsarain’ ny fiangonana ilay namely sy ny mpamaly rà araka izany lalàna izany.
25 and the assembly shall rescue the manslayer out of the hand of the blood-redeemer, and the assembly shall restore him unto his city of refuge whither he had fled, —and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who hath been anointed with the hallowing 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 But if the man-slayer, go out, of the bounds of his city of refuge, whereinto he hath fled;
Fa raha mivoaka ho eo ivelan’ ny tanàna fandosirana izay nalehany tamin’ izy nandositra ilay nahafaty olona
27 and the blood-redeemer, find him, outside the bounds of his city of refuge, then may the blood-redeemer slay the slayer, without being guilty of blood;
ka hitan’ ny mpamaly rà eo ivelan’ ny tanàna, dia azony vonoina izy; ary tsy hisy valin-drà amin’ izany,
28 for in his city of refuge, should he have remained, until the death of the high priest, —and, after the death of the high priest, might he have returned into the land which he doth possess.
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 So shall these serve you as a regulative statute unto your generations, —wheresoever ye may dwell.
Ary izany zavatra izany dia ho lalàna hitondrana anareo hatramin’ ny taranakareo fara mandimby eny amin’ izay rehetra onenanareo.
30 Whosoever taketh away life, at the mouth of witnesses, shall, the slayer be slain, —but, one witness, shall not testify against a person, to put him to death.
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 ye shall accept no ransom for the life of him that slayeth, if he have unlawfully caused death, —but he, must surely be 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 ye shall accept no ransom for him that hath fled to his city of refuge, if he should return to dwell in the land before 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 So shall ye not pollute the land wherein ye are, for blood, doth pollute the land, and for the land, no propitiatory-covering can be made, as touching blood, that is shed therein, save with the blood of him that shed 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 thou must not then make unclean the land wherein, ye, are dwelling, in the midst of which, I, have my habitation; for, I,—Yahweh, am making my habitation 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.
