Numbers 35
1 Yahweh told this to Moses/me [while the Israeli people were] on the plain in the Moab region near the Jordan [River], across from Jericho:
Israel te Moab phaicham Jordan vadung pang Jerecho mun aum un PakaiyinMose henga thu asei peh in ahi.
2 “Tell the Israeli people that from the land that they will receive, they must give to the descendants of Levi some cities in which they can live. They must also give them some land around these cities.
Isreal chate chenna mun ahin Levite goulo jong apeh na diu vin ajah uva thu sei peh in, khopi jouse kimvel la Levi miten gancha anei sun’u avah na diuvin mun jong na peh diu ahi.
3 Those will be for the descendants of Levi to live in, and around the cities will be land for their cattle and flocks of sheep and goats and other animals.
Levi mite chu khopi chengse cheng diu, hamhing kena gambeh chengse jong bonghon vah na a anei uva aman chah diu ahi tai.
4 “The land that you give them for their animals must extend out for (1,500 feet/450 meters) from the walls of the cities.
Chule Levi mite gancha hon vahna dinga na peh diu gambeh chu khopi pal kigen kimvel apat tong sangkhat a sao gambeh sung napeh teidiu ahi.
5 Also measure (3,000 feet/900 meters) in each direction out from the walls of each city. That additional land will be land for their animals outside the walls of the cities.”
Hichu khopi pam solam tong sangni a sao na tedoh diu, lhanglam jong tong sangni ma na tedoh diu, chunglam jong tongsani na tedoh diu khopi chu a lailung tah a na umsah diu, khopi vel Jousea a kitedohsa mun chengse chu Levi mite gancha ho hamhing neh na muna anei diu ahi tai.
6 “Six of the cities that you give to the descendants of Levi will be cities to which people [can run] to be safe. If someone [accidentally] kills someone else, the one who killed that person may run to one of those cities to be safe.
Levi mite chenna dinga na peh’u khoppi chengse chu kiselna khopi tia na minsah sohkei diu, hichu khopi gup ahin, nalah uva koi tabang mithat na um khah ule hiche khopi sung hoa hi na jam lut sah uva na kihuhhing sah diu, khopi hi chengse chung’a jong hi khopi somli leni na peh be nah lai diu ahiye.
7 You must also give to the descendants of Levi 42 other cities and the land around those cities, for their animals,
Khopi somli le get chu Levi mite chen mun ding’a na peh diu, khopi kimvella hamhing umna chengse toh jaona napeh diu ahi.
8 The Israeli tribes that have the most people must give them more cities than the tribes that have fewer people give. Each tribe must give some of its cities to the descendants of Levi, but the tribes that have more land must give more cities, and the tribes that have less land will give fewer cities.”
Khopi hichengse hi Israel chate chenna gamsunga konna na kehdoh peh diu, phung sung mitam ho chunga gam alenjo na lah diu, phungsung milhomna ho agambeh neojo na lah diu, nangma phung sung cheh akonna gambeh jong alen aneo dungjui cheh a Levi mite chen mun na peh sohkei diu ahi.
9 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Pakaiyin Mose henga hiti hin a seipeh in ahi.
10 “Tell this to the Israeli people: When you cross the Jordan [River] and enter the Canaan [region],
Israel chate jah a hitihin seiyin, Jordan vadung nagalkai uva Canaan gamsung nalut teng u-leh.
11 you must choose some cities to which people can run to be safe/protected. If someone kills another person (accidentally/without planning to do that), the one who killed that person may run to one of those cities and be safe.
Na kisel na diuva khopi phabep na kilhen doh diu, hetman louva khat chun mikhat atha khah tah ahile ama chu koi pen hijong le hiche khopi sunga hi jamlut a ki huhhing ding ahi.
12 One of the relatives of the person who was killed may think he must avenge his relative’s death [by killing the murderer]. But in that city, the killer will be safe [because the people in that city would kill those relatives if they tried to get revenge there]. The man who killed someone accidentally [must] be put on trial in a court.
Khopi chengse hi nangho ding’a phula pa akon kiselna leh ki huhhing na muna pang ding ahi. Ajeh chu koi hileh mithat penpen chu athu kicheh tah a akikhol doh masangse a kithat lou hel ding ahi.
13 You must set apart six cities to be cities to which someone who killed another person accidentally may run and be safe.
Na todoh diu khopi chu aboncha kiselna a naman chah diu ahin, hichu khopi gup hi ding ahi.
14 There must be three of those cities on the east side of the Jordan [River] and three that will be [on the west side], in the Canaan region.
Kiselna khopi lah achu Jordan vadung gal lamma khopi thum hi ding, agal lang khat a khopi thumna todoh diu, hiche khopi thum hochu Canaan gamsung hi ding ahiye.
15 Those six cities will be cities where Israeli people may run to and be safe, and where foreigners and other people who are living among you can also run to and be safe. Any of those people who accidentally kills someone may run to one of those cities [and be safe/protected there].
Israel mi ahin, kholgam khopem mi ahin, ahung kholjin mi hi jong leh kiselna a naman chah diu ahi. Na lah uva koi hileh mi that’a khutsoi a-umkhah tah a ahile hiche khopi gup ho’a hi jam lut a ki huhhing ding ahi.
16 “But [you must consider that] anyone who kills another person with an iron weapon or with a big rock or with a piece of wood, is a murderer, and the one who killed the other person must be executed.
Nalah uva koihile hem lamma mithat jeng’a chu tolthat a kisim ahi tan, hitabang a tolthat mihem chu thina chan gotna achung’a lhung ding ahi.
Chuleh song-tum ham khat a-manchah’a mi khattou chu asuh a amun’a chu athi den jeng tah ahile hiche jong chu tolthat a kisim ahi tan, tolthat mihem kiti phot chu achunga thina chan gotna kipie ding ahi.
Khat touvin thingtum ham khat chu a manchah a mi khattou ajep a a jeppa jong chu amuna a thi den jeng tah a ahile ama jong chu tolthat a kisim ahi tan, hi tabanga tolthat chu thina chan gotna peh teitei ding ahi.
19 A relative of the person who was murdered must be the one who executes the murderer as soon as he finds him.
Thisan phulah ding’a alunga voppa chun tolthat pa chung’a chu thina a-chansah teitei ding ahi.
20 If someone shoves another person [over a cliff] or throws something at another person
Mi khat touvin mihem khat chu achan lhih keija vetda jeh a atha jeng tah a ahile.
21 or hits that person with his hand/fist and causes that person to die, if he did it because he hated that person, then you must consider that he is a murderer, and must be executed. A relative of the person who was killed must be the one who executes the murderer as soon as he finds him.
Chuleh kitomona a-nei jeh lhonna asuh lih jeng ahi jong leh hitabang’a khutsoi mihem pa chung’a chu thina chan gotna peh teitei ding, ajeh chu ama jong chu tolthat a pang ahitan, thisan phulah ding lungpu pachu a-kimupi teng thina achansah teitei ding ahi.
22 “But someone might accidentally shove someone else, or accidentally throw something at another person and hit him, not because he hates that person.
Ki-tomona ima neipi hilou, aki changlhi le hilouva tohhai ja a selih jeng khah ham,
23 Or he might drop a rock on someone that he did not see. If the one who does that does not plan to hurt anyone and does not hate the person that was killed,
Chule songkhat alah a mikhat tou muchen louva ase khah jeng tah a mipa jong chu amun’a athi jeng tah leh, hichepa toh chun akah a boina ima nei lou ahinah leh.
24 the people of that city must decide whether the relative of the dead person [has the right to get revenge], or whether the one who killed the other person [truly did it (accidentally/without planning to do it)].
Khopi a-chu mithatpa leh thisan phulah ding lunggel pa kikah’a thutanna dan tampi toh tho’a asem diu ahi.
25 [If they decide that the killer planned to kill the other person, they must not allow him to stay in their city. But if they decide that it was done accidentally], they must protect the killer from being killed by the dead person’s relative. They must send the killer to one of the cities where he will be safe/protected, and allow him to stay there until the Supreme Priest dies. [After that, the killer may go back to his home, because the dead person’s relative no longer has the right to get revenge].
Thisan-phu lah ding lunggel neipa akonna mithatpa chu khopi chun a-huhdoh ding, mithat pan jong khopi chu kiselna’a aman ding, mithatpa jam lutna in penpen a-chu achensah diu, ama jong hiche khopi sunga chu thaotui theng changsa thempupa adam sung’a cheng ding ahi.
26 “But [while the Supreme Priest is still living], the person who is in that safe city must not leave that city.
Ama vang hiche mithatpa chu a deiphat phat in khopi akon chun avella ana chedoh ta hen lang,
27 If he goes outside the city, and if a relative of the dead person finds him, that relative is permitted to kill that person, [and people will not consider that the relative is guilty of murder.]
Hitia achedoh laitah chun gamning lah khat a thisan phu lah nompa chun hiche mithatpa chu ana that jeng taleh ama thisen jeh’a chu Thempu pa thepmona ima umlou ding ahi.
28 The killer must stay in that city where he will be safe/protected until the Supreme Priest dies. [He will be safe from revenge after that, because the death of the Supreme Priest will be considered to be a sacrifice to atone for that murder]. After that, the killer may return to his home.
Hijeh achu mithatpa jong thempulen pa adam sung’a hiche khopi sung’a chu umjing ding ahi.
29 “You must always obey those regulations, wherever you live.
Hiche hi nakhang khang uva chonna dan a na nei jing diu ahiye.
30 “If someone [is accused of] killing another person, the one who is accused may be executed only if there are people who saw him do it. There must be more than one witness; no one is permitted to be executed if there was only one (witness/person who saw him do it).
Mi khattou vin mihem khat chung’a hem alap a atha jeng tah ahile, hiche mithatpa chu hettohsah ho thutan dungjuija che ding, ahin lah hettohsah khat jeng seh sei vanga mithatpa hinkho chu kimoh suh mang jeng thei lou ahi.
31 “If there is a murderer who truly should be executed, do not [spare his life by] accepting (a ransom/money for him not to be killed). He must be executed.
Chule thina changei ja gotna chang ding mihem khat chung’a chu thilong man kilahna nanei thei lou hel diu, tolthatpa vang chu thina na chansah teitei diu ahi.
32 “If someone has run to a city where he will be safe/protected, do not allow him to give you money in order that you will permit him to return to his home before the Supreme Priest dies.
Aki huhhing na dinga khopia jamlut tolthatpa jal'a longman jeng jong thempulen pa damsunga na kilah louhel diu ahiye.
33 “You must execute people who truly murder others. If you did not do that, you would be causing the people who live in the land to become unacceptable to me. Anyone who deliberately kills an innocent person must be executed.
Hitia hi na gamsung’u na suhboh thei loudiu, ajeh chu thisan jal’a gamsung boh ji ahin, gamsung suh thengna ding’a thil dang ima aum pon, agam chu thisan kiso jeng ahi tan hichu thisen sopa chung’a bouchu suh theng theina lampi um ahi.
34 I am Yahweh, and I live among you Israelis, so do not spoil/pollute the land by allowing people to murder others without being punished.”
Hijeh chun nachen nau gamsung hi thisan a na suhboh thei louhel diu, keima hiche gam lailungtah in kacheng in, Pakai, Pathen hi Israel mite lailunga acheng jing e, tia ajah uva naseipeh ding ahi.
