Deuteronomy 19
1 After Yahweh our God has gotten rid of the people-groups from the land that he is giving to you, and after you have expelled them from their cities and you start to live in their houses,
Inton ikkaten ni Yahweh a Diosyo dagiti nasion, dagiti daga nga it-ited ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo, ken inton sublatanyo ida ket agnaedkayo kadagiti siudadda ken babbalayda,
2 you must divide into three parts the land that he is giving to you. Then choose a city in each part. You must make good roads [in order that people can get to those cities easily]. Someone who kills another person can escape to one of those cities [to be safe/protected].
masapul a mangpilikayo iti tallo a siudad a para kadakayo iti tengnga ti dagayo nga it-ited ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo a tagikuaenyo.
Masapul a mangaramidkayo iti dalan ken bingayenyo dagiti beddeng dagiti dagayo iti tallo a paset, ti daga nga ipatpatawid ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo, tapno mabalin nga agkamang sadiay ti siasinoman a makapatay iti sabali a tao.
4 “This is the rule about someone who has killed another person. If someone (accidentally/without planning to) kills another person who was not his enemy, he may escape to one of those cities and be safe/protected there.
Daytoy ti linteg para iti tao a makapatay iti sabali ken agkamang sadiay tapno agbiag: siasinoman ti makapatay iti kaarrubana a saanna nga ingagara, ken saanna a ginura isuna iti napalabas—
5 For example, if two men go into the forest to cut some wood, if the axe head comes off the handle while one of them is chopping down a tree and the axe head strikes and kills the other man, the man [who was using the axe] will be allowed to run to one of those cities and be safe there, [because the people of that city will protect him].
kas iti maysa a tao a mapan idiay bakir a kaduana ti kaarrubana tapno agpukan iti kayo, ket inlayat ti imana ti wasay tapno pukanenna ti kayo, ket nauksot ti ulo ti wasay manipud iti putanna ken natamaan ti kaarrubana isu a natay isuna—masapul ngarud nga agkamang dayta a tao iti maysa kadagitoy a siudad ket agbiag.
6 Because he accidentally killed someone, and because the man was not his enemy, he can try to run to one of those cities. If there were only one city, it may be a long distance to that city. Then if the relative of the man who was killed [MTY], the man who is supposed/expected to get revenge, is very angry, he may be able to catch the other person before he arrives at that city.
Ta no saan, amangan no kamaten ti mangibales iti dara ti tao a nakapatay, ket iti bara ti ungetna makamakamna isuna gapu ta atiddog daytoy a panagdaliasat. Ket kabilen ken papatayenna isuna, uray no saan a maikari a matay dayta a tao; ket saan pay a maikari isuna iti pannakapapatay agsipud ta saanna met a kinagura ti kaarrubana sakbay a napasamak daytoy.
7 [To prevent that from happening], you must choose three cities, not only one, [in order that someone can get to one of those cities quickly].
Ngarud, bilinenkayo a mangpilikayo iti tallo a siudad para kadakayo.
8 “If you do everything that I am today commanding you to do, and if you love Yahweh our God, and if you conduct your lives as he wants you to do, Yahweh our God will give you much more land than you will have when you first occupy it, which is what he promised to do. He will give you all the land which he promised your ancestors that he would give to you. When he gives you that land, you must select three more cities [to which people may escape].
No palawaen ni Yahweh a Diosyo dagiti beddengyo, kas insapatana kadagiti kapuonanyo nga aramidenna, ken itedna kadakayo dagiti amin a daga nga inkarina nga itedna kadagiti kapuonanyo;
no salimetmetanyo amin dagitoy a bilbilin tapno aramiden dagitoy, nga ibilbilinko kadakayo ita nga aldaw—dagiti bilbilin tapno ayaten ni Yahweh a Diosyo ken tapno kankanayon a magna kadagiti dalanna, masapul ngarud nga agnayonkayo iti tallo pay a siudad para kadakayo, malaksid kadagitoy a tallo.
10 Do this in order that people who (are innocent/have killed someone else without planning to) will not die, and you will not be guilty for [allowing] them to be executed, in the land that Yahweh is giving to you.
Aramidenyo daytoy tapno saan nga agsayasay ti dara nga awan basolna iti tengnga ti daga nga it-ited ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo a kas pannakatawidyo, tapno awan pakabasolanyo iti panagpapatay.
11 “But suppose someone hates his enemy and hides and waits for that person [to come along the road]. Then [when he passes by, suddenly] he attacks him and murders him. If the attacker flees to one of those cities [to be protected there],
Ngem no kagura ti siasinoman ti kaarrubana, padpadaananna isuna, tumakder a maibusor kenkuana, ket sinugatanna isuna iti nakaro nga isu ti nakatayanna, ket no agkamang isuna iti maysa kadagitoy a siudad—
12 the elders of the city [where the murdered man lived must not protect the attacker. They]. must send someone to the city to which the other man escaped, and bring him to [MTY] the relative who is supposed/expected to get revenge, so that he may execute that man.
masapul ngarud a mangibaon dagiti panglakayen iti siudadna ken isublida isuna manipud sadiay, ket iyawatda isuna iti ima dagiti kabagian nga akinrebbeng, tapno matay isuna.
13 You must not pity those who murder other people! Instead, you must execute them, in order that the people in the land of Israel will not murder [MTY] innocent people, and in order that things will go well for you.”
Masapul a saan a maasi dagiti matayo kenkuana; ngem ketdi, masapul nga ikkatenyo ti basol iti panagpatay manipud Israel, tapno sumayaatkayonto.
14 “[When you are living] in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, do not move the markers of your neighbors’ property boundaries which were placed there long ago.”
Masapul a saanyo nga ikkaten ti mohon ti kaarrubayo nga inkabilda iti nabayagen a panawen, iti tawid a tawidenyonto, iti daga nga it-ited ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo a tagikuaenyo.
15 “If someone is accused of committing a crime, one (witness/person who says, ‘I saw him do it’) is not enough. There must be at least two (witnesses/people who say, ‘We saw him do it’). [If there is only one witness], the judge must not believe that what he says is true.
Masapul a saan a tumakder ti maymaysa a saksi a maibusor iti maysa a tao gapu iti aniaman a kinadakes, wenno gapu iti aniaman a basol, iti aniaman a banag a nagbasolanna; manipud iti ngiwat iti dua a saksi, wenno manipud iti ngiwat iti tallo a saksi, masapul a mapatalgedan ti aniaman a banag.
16 “If someone tries to do wrong to another person by falsely accusing him,
No bilang ta tumakder ti saan a nalinteg a saksi a maibusor iti siasinoman tapno mangpaneknek iti maibusor kenkuana iti panagaramidna iti dakes,
17 both of them must go to the place where the people worship, to [talk to] the priests and judges who are serving at that time.
Ket ti dua a tattao a nagtaudan daytoy a riri, masapul a tumakder iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, iti sangoanan dagiti papadi ken dagiti uk-ukom nga agserserbi kadagitoy nga al-aldaw.
18 The judges must (investigate the case carefully/try to find out which one is telling the truth). If [the judges determine that] one of them has accused the other falsely,
Masapul a sukimaten a nasayaat dagiti ukom; kitaenyo, no ulbod ti saksi ket siuulbod a nangpaneknek maibusor iti kabsatna,
19 that person must be punished in the same way that the other one would have been punished [if the judge decided that he (was guilty/had done what is wrong)]. By punishing such people, you will get rid of this evil practice among you.
masapul ngarud nga aramidenyo kenkuana, a kas iti tinarigagayanna nga aramiden iti kabsatna; ket ikkatenyonto ti kinadakes manipud kadakayo.
20 And/Because when that person is punished, everyone will hear what has happened, and they will be afraid, and no one will dare to act that way any more.
Ket mangngeg ken agbutengto dagiti nabati, ket manipud iti dayta a tiempo, saandanton nga agaramid kadagiti kasta a kinadakes kadakayo.
21 You must not pity people who are punished like that. The rule should be that a person who has murdered someone else must be executed; one of a person’s eyes must be gouged out if he has gouged out someone else’s eye, one tooth of a person who has knocked out the tooth of another person must be knocked out; one hand of a person who has cut off the hand of another person must likewise be cut off; one foot of a person who has cut off the foot of another person must also be cut off.”
Masapul a saan a maasi dagiti matayo; biagto ti mangbayad iti biag, mata para iti mata, ngipen para iti ngipen, ima para iti ima, ken saka para iti saka.
