Numbers 35
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize kati na etando ya Moabi, pembeni ya Yordani oyo etalani na Jeriko:
2 Command the children of Israel, that they give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give [also] to the Levites suburbs for the cities around them.
« Pesa mitindo na bana ya Isalaele ete bapesa na Balevi, wuta na libula oyo bakozwa, bingumba ya kovanda elongo na mabele oyo ezali zingazinga na yango.
3 And they shall have the cities to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
Bingumba ekozala mpo na kovanda, mpe mabele ya zingazinga mpo na bibwele na bango, bisalelo na bango mpe banyama na bango nyonso.
4 And the suburbs of the cities which ye shall give to the Levites, [shall reach] from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits on all sides.
Mabele ya zingazinga ya bingumba oyo bokopesa na Balevi ekozala etando ya bametele pene nkama mitano kobanda na mir ya engumba.
5 And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city [shall be] in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
Na libanda ya engumba, bokozwa etando ya bametele pene nkoto moko na ngambo ya este, nkoto moko na ngambo ya weste, nkoto moko na ngambo ya nor mpe nkoto moko na ngambo ya sude; mpe engumba ekozala na kati-kati. Yango nde ekozala mabele na bango ya zingazinga.
6 And among the cities which ye shall give to the Levites [there shall be] six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the man-slayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.
Bokobongisa mpo na Balevi bingumba motoba ya kokimela mpo ete moto oyo abomi moninga na nko te akoka kokima kuna; bokobakisa bingumba mosusu tuku minei na mibale.
7 [So] all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites [shall be] forty and eight cities: them [shall ye give] with their suburbs.
Na nyonso, bokopesa na Balevi bingumba tuku minei na mwambe, moko na moko elongo na mabele na yango ya zingazinga.
8 And the cities which ye shall give [shall be] of the possession of the children of Israel: from [them that have] many ye shall give many; but from [them that have] few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities to the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
Mpo na bingumba oyo bokopesa na Balevi wuta na libula ya mabele ya bana ya Isalaele, bosengeli kozwa yango kolanda bozwi ya libota moko na moko: libota oyo ezali na bingumba ebele ekopesa mpe bingumba ebele; libota oyo ezali na bingumba moke ekopesa mpe bingumba moke. »
9 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
10 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye have passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
« Loba na bana ya Isalaele: ‹ Tango bokokatisa Yordani mpo na kokota na Kanana,
11 Then ye shall appoint for you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, who killeth any person at unawares.
bokopona bingumba ya kokimela mpo ete moto oyo akoboma moto na nko te akoka kokima kuna.
12 And they shall be to you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the man-slayer may not die, until he stands before the congregation in judgment.
Bingumba yango ekozala ekimelo mpo na bino liboso ya mobukanisi makila; na bongo mobomi akokufa te soki asambi nanu te na miso ya lisanga.
13 And of these cities which ye shall give, six cities shall ye have for refuge.
Kati na bingumba oyo bokopesa, bingumba motoba ekozala ekimelo mpo na bino:
14 Ye shall give three cities on this side of Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, [which] shall be cities of refuge.
misato na ngambo ya Yordani, mpe misato kati na Kanana. Ekozala bingumba ya kokimela.
15 These six cities shall be a refuge, [both] for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
Bingumba nyonso motoba ekozala ekimelo mpo na bana ya Isalaele mpe mpo na bapaya oyo bakozala kati na bino. Boye moto nyonso oyo akoboma moto na nko te akoki kokima kuna.
16 And if he shall smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he shall die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
Soki abeti moninga na ye libende, mpe moninga yango akufi, moto wana azali mobomi; basengeli koboma ye.
17 And if he shall smite him by throwing a stone, by which he may die, and he shall die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
Soki abeti moninga na ye libanga, mpe moninga yango akufi, moto wana azali mobomi; basengeli koboma ye.
18 Or [if] he shall smite him with a hand-weapon of wood, with which he may die, and he shall die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
Soki abeti moninga na ye nzete, mpe moninga yango akufi, moto wana azali mobomi; basengeli koboma ye.
19 The avenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
Ezali mobukanisi makila nde akoboma mobomi: akoboma ye tango kaka akokutana na ye.
20 But if he shall thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying in wait, that he die.
Soki abambi moninga na ye eloko na nko mpe moninga yango akufi
21 Or in enmity shall smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote [him] shall surely be put to death; [for] he [is] a murderer: the avenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
to soki abeti moninga na ye likofi mpo ete alingaka ye te, mpe moninga yango akufi, moto wana azali mobomi; boye mobukanisi makila akoboma mobomi tango kaka akokutana na ye.
22 But if he shall thrust him suddenly without enmity, or shall have cast upon him any thing without laying in wait,
Kasi soki moto atindiki moninga na ye na nko te to na kokana te, soki abambi ye eloko na makanisi mabe te,
23 Or with any stone, by which a man may die, seeing [him] not, and shall cast [it] upon him, that he die, and [was] not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
soki akweyiseli ye libanga na nko te mpe na kokana te, mpe moninga yango akufi,
24 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the avenger of blood according to these judgments:
lisanga ekokata makambo oyo kolanda mibeko kati ya mobomi mpe mobukanisi makila.
25 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he had fled: and he shall abide in it to the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
Lisanga ekokangola mobomi na maboko ya mobukanisi makila mpe ekozongisa ye kati na engumba ya kokimela epai wapi akimaki. Mobomi akovanda kuna kino na kufa ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe oyo bapakolaki mafuta ya bule.
26 But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he had fled;
Nzokande soki mobomi alongwe na engumba ya kokimela epai wapi akimaki,
27 And the avenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood shall kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
mpe soki mobukanisi makila akutani na ye libanda ya engumba na ye ya kokimela mpe abomi ye, mobukanisi makila asali mabe te.
28 Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
Pamba te mobomi asengeli kovanda kati na engumba na ye ya kokimela kino na kufa ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe. Ezali kaka sima ya kufa na ye nde akoki kozonga na mabele na ye.
29 So these [things] shall be for a statute of judgment to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Mitindo oyo ekozala mibeko mpo na bino mpe mpo na bakitani na bino nyonso, na bisika nyonso oyo bokovanda.
30 Whoever killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person [to cause him] to die.
Tango nyonso oyo moto akoboma moninga na ye, bakoboma mobomi soki kaka batatoli ebele bafundi, pamba te litatoli ya moto moko ekoki te mpo na kokatela moto etumbu ya kufa.
31 Moreover, ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, who [is] guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
Bokondima kozwa eloko moko te mpo na kosikola bomoi ya mobomi oyo asengeli na kufa; basengeli kaka koboma ye.
32 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that hath fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
Bokondima mpe kozwa eloko moko te mpo na kopesa ye nzela ya kokima na engumba songolo ya kokimela to ya kozonga kovanda lisusu kati na mokili na ye liboso ya kufa ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe.
33 So ye shall not pollute the land in which ye [are]: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed in it, but by the blood of him that shed it.
Bokokomisa mbindo te mokili epai wapi bozali. Solo, kosopa makila ekomisaka mokili mbindo; pamba te soki makila esopani na mokili, ezali kaka na nzela ya makila ya moto oyo asopi yango nde bakoki kokomisa lisusu mokili peto.
34 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, in which I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
Bokokomisa mbindo te mokili epai wapi bokovanda, mokili epai wapi Ngai mpe nakovanda; pamba te nazali Yawe, navandaka kati na bana ya Isalaele. › »
