Numbers 35
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in the plains of Moab, by Jordan, [near] Jericho, saying,
Awo abaana ba Isirayiri bwe baali nga basiisidde mu nsenyi za Mowaabu ku mugga Yoludaani, okwolekera Yeriko, Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
2 'Command the sons of Israel, and they have given to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to inhabit; also a suburb for the cities round about them ye do give to the Levites.
“Lagira abaana ba Isirayiri nti bawanga Abaleevi ebibuga eby’okubeeramu, nga babiggya mu butaka bwabwe bwe baligabana obw’enkalakkalira. Era babaweerangako n’amalundiro okwetooloola ebibuga ebyo.
3 And the cities have been to them to inhabit, and their suburbs are for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
Kale, olwo balibeera n’ebibuga ebyokusulangamu, n’amalundiro ag’ente zaabwe n’endiga zaabwe, awamu n’ensolo zaabwe endala ezirundibwa.
4 'And the suburbs of the cities which ye give to the Levites [are], from the wall of the city and without, a thousand cubits round about.
“Amalundiro aganaaweebwanga Abaleevi ab’omu bibuga ebyo ganaapimwanga obugazi okuva ku bbugwe w’ekibuga mita ebikumi bina mu ataano.
5 And ye have measured from the outside of the city, the east 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; and the city [is] in the midst; this is to them the suburbs of the cities.
Amalundiro ago ganaapimanga obuwanvu bwa mita lwenda ku ludda olw’ebuvanjuba, ne mita lwenda ku ludda olw’ebugwanjuba, ne mita lwenda ku luuyi olw’obukiikakkono, ne mita lwenda ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo, ng’ekibuga kiri wakati. Ago ge ganaabanga amalundiro gaabo ab’omu kibuga.
6 'And the cities which ye give to the Levites [are] the six cities of refuge, which ye give for the fleeing thither of the man-slayer, and besides them ye give forty and two cities;
“Ku bibuga bye muligabira Abaleevi kugenda kubeerako ebibuga mukaaga eby’okuddukirangamu, omuntu asse omuntu nga tagenderedde. Okwo mulyoke mwongereko ebibuga amakumi ana mu bibiri.
7 all the cities which ye give to the Levites [are] forty and eight cities, them and their suburbs.
Okutwalira awamu muliteekwa okugabira Abaleevi ebibuga amakumi ana mu munaana, mubagattireko n’amalundiro.
8 And the cities which ye give [are] of the possession of the sons of Israel, from the many ye multiply, and from the few ye diminish; each, according to his inheritance which they inherit, doth give of his cities to the Levites.'
Omuwendo gw’ebibuga bye muligabira Abaleevi gulyesigamizibwa ku bunene n’obutono obwa buli busika obw’abaana ba Isirayiri. Ab’obusika obunene muliwaayo ebibuga bingi, n’ab’obusika obutono muliwaayo ebibuga bitono.”
9 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
10 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye are passing over the Jordan to the land of Canaan,
“Yogera eri abaana ba Isirayiri ng’obagamba nti, ‘Bwe musomokanga omugga Yoludaani ne muyingira mu nsi y’e Kanani,
11 and have prepared to yourselves cities — cities of refuge they are to you — then fled thither hath a man-slayer, smiting a person unawares,
mweronderangamu ebibuga ebinaabanga ebibuga byammwe eby’okuddukirangamu; ng’omwo omuntu asse omuntu nga tagenderedde mw’anaddukiranga.
12 and the cities have been to you for a refuge from the redeemer, and the man-slayer doth not die till his standing before the company for judgment.
Bye binaabanga ebifo eby’obuddukiro okwewala omuwoolezi w’eggwanga, omuntu ateeberezebwa okuba omutemu alemenga okuttibwa nga tasoose kuwozesebwa mu maaso g’ekibiina.
13 'As to the cities which ye give — six [are] cities of refuge to you;
Ebibuga ebyo omukaaga bye mugenda okuwaayo bye binaabanga ebibuga byammwe eby’obuddukiro.
14 the three of the cities ye give beyond the Jordan, and the three of the cities ye give in the land of Canaan; cities of refuge they are.
Mugenda kuwaayo ebibuga bisatu ku ludda luno olw’ebuvanjuba olwa Yoludaani, n’ebibuga bisatu mu Kanani, okubeeranga ebibuga eby’obuddukiro.
15 To sons of Israel, and to a sojourner, and to a settler in their midst, are these six cities for a refuge, for the fleeing thither of any one smiting a person unawares.
Abaana ba Isirayiri n’abagenyi bammwe, n’abagwira abanaabeeranga mu mmwe, mwenna munaddukiranga mu bibuga ebyo omukaaga. Kwe kugamba nti omuntu yenna anattanga omuntu nga tagenderedde anaddukiranga omwo.’
16 'And if with an instrument of iron he hath smitten him, and he dieth, he [is] a murderer: the murderer is certainly put to death.
“‘Omuntu bw’anaakubanga omuntu n’ekyuma n’amutta, oyo nga mutemu; era omutemu anattirwanga ddala.
17 'And if with a stone [in] the hand, wherewith he dieth, he hath smitten him, and he dieth, he [is] a murderer: the murderer is certainly put to death.
Era omuntu bw’anaabanga akutte ejjinja mu ngalo ze, n’akuba munne n’ejjinja eryo, omutemu anattirwanga ddala.
18 'Or with a wooden instrument [in] the hand, wherewith he dieth, he hath smitten him, and he dieth, he [is] a murderer: the murderer is certainly put to death.
Oba omuntu bw’anaabanga akutte ekyokulwanyisa eky’omuti mu ngalo ze, ekiyinza okutta omuntu, n’akikubisa munne, munne n’afa, oyo nga mutemu; era omutemu anattirwanga ddala.
19 'The redeemer of blood himself doth put the murderer to death; in his coming against him he doth put him to death.
Omuwoolezi w’eggwanga yennyini y’anattanga omutemu; bw’anaamusisinkananga anaamuttanga.
20 'And if in hatred he thrust him through, or hath cast [anything] at him by lying in wait, and he dieth;
Omuntu bw’anaabangako ekiruyi ku munne n’amufumita ng’akigenderedde, olw’obukyayi, oba n’amwekwekerera n’amukasuukirira ekintu ne kimukuba ne kimutta,
21 or in enmity he hath smitten him with his hand, and he dieth; the smiter is certainly put to death; he [is] a murderer; the redeemer of blood doth put the murderer to death in his coming against him.
oba olw’obulabe bw’amulinako n’amukuba ekikonde, munne n’afa, omuntu oyo amukubye ekikonde anaafanga; kubanga mutemu. Omuwoolezi w’eggwanga y’anattanga omutemu oyo ng’amusisinkanye.
22 'And if, in an instant, without enmity, he hath thrust him through, or hath cast at him any instrument, without lying in wait;
“‘Singa omuntu afumita munne mangwago, gw’atalinaako bulabe, oba n’akasuka ekintu nga tagenderedde ne kimukuba,
23 or with any stone wherewith he dieth, without seeing, and causeth [it] to fall upon him, and he dieth, and he [is] not his enemy, nor seeking his evil;
oba n’ayiringisa ejjinja, eriyinza okutta omuntu, ne limugwako nga tamulabye, n’afa; olwokubanga teyali mulabe we, era nga yali tagenderedde kumulumya;
24 then have the company judged between the smiter and the redeemer of blood, by these judgments.
kale, olukiiko lw’ekibiina lunaasalangawo wakati we n’omuwoolezi w’eggwanga, nga lugoberera amateeka gano nga bwe gali.
25 'And the company have delivered the man-slayer out of the hand of the redeemer of blood, and the company have caused him to turn back unto the city of his refuge, whither he hath fled, and he hath dwelt in it till the death of the chief priest, who hath been anointed with the holy oil.
Omussi oyo olukiiko lw’ekibiina lunaamuwonyanga omuwoolezi w’eggwanga, ne lumuleka n’abeeranga mu kibuga kye eky’obuddukiro okutuusa Kabona Omukulu eyafukibwako amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni amatukuvu ng’amaze okufa.
26 'And if the man-slayer at all go out [from] the border of the city of his refuge whither he fleeth,
“‘Naye omussi oyo bwe kanaamutandanga n’afulumako mu kibuga kye eky’obuddukiro mwe yaddukira,
27 and the redeemer of blood hath found him at the outside of the border of the city of his refuge, and the redeemer of blood hath slain the man-slayer, blood is not for him;
omuwoolezi w’eggwanga n’amala amusanga ebweru w’ekibuga ekyo, n’amutta, omuwoolezi w’eggwanga taabengako musango gwa butemu.
28 for in the city of his refuge he doth dwell till the death of the chief priest; and after the death of the chief priest doth the man-slayer turn back unto the city of his possession.
Kubanga omussi oyo kinaamusaaniranga okubeera mu kibuga kye eky’obuddukiro okutuusa nga Kabona Omukulu amaze okufa. Kabona Omukulu anaamalanga kufa, omussi oyo n’addayo ewuwe mu bintu bye eby’obutaka.
29 'And these things have been to you for a statute of judgment to your generations, in all your dwellings:
“‘Gano ganaabeeranga mateeka gammwe ge munaakwatanga mu mirembe gyammwe gyonna ne buli we munaabeeranga.
30 whoso smiteth a person, by the mouth of witnesses doth [one] slay the murderer; and one witness doth not testify against a person — to die.
Omuntu bw’anattanga munne, ne wabaawo obujulizi, omutemu oyo naye anaafanga. Naye tewaabengawo attibwa ku bujulizi obw’omuntu omu yekka.
31 'And ye take no atonement for the life of a murderer who [is] condemned — to die, for he is certainly put to death;
“‘Temukkirizanga mutango olw’okununula omussi asingiddwa omusango ogw’obutemu n’asalirwa okuttibwa; anaateekwanga okuttibwa.
32 and ye take no atonement for him to flee unto the city of his refuge, to turn back to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
“‘Temukkirizanga mutango ogw’okununula omussi abeera mu kibuga eky’obuddukiro, alyoke aveeyo addeyo ewuwe nga Kabona Omukulu tannaba kufa.
33 'And ye profane not the land which ye [are] in, for blood profaneth the land; as to the land, it is not pardoned for blood which is shed in it except by the blood of him who sheddeth it;
“‘Temwonoonanga nsi gye mubeeramu. Okuyiwa omusaayi kyonoona ensi; okutangiririra ensi omuyiise omusaayi si kyangu, okuggyako ng’etangiririrwa n’omusaayi gw’oyo eyayiwa omusaayi mu nsi omwo.
34 and ye defile not the land in which ye are dwelling, in the midst of which I do tabernacle, for I Jehovah do tabernacle in the midst of the sons of Israel.'
Temwonoonanga nsi mwe mubeera nange mwe mbeera, kubanga Nze, Mukama Katonda, mbeera wakati mu baana ba Isirayiri.’”
