Numbers 35
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in the 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, 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.
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 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.
Koa ny tanàna dia honenany; ary ny tany dia ho an’ ny biby fiompiny sy ny fananany mbamin’ ny bibiny rehetra.
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.
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 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.
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 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;
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 give to the Levites [are] forty and eight cities, them and their suburbs.
Koa ny tanàna rehetra izay homenareo ny Levita dia valo amby efa-polo mbamin’ ny tany manodidina azy.
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.'
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 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
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,
Mitenena amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Rehefa tafita an’ i Jordana ianareo ka tonga any amin’ ny tany Kanana,
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,
dia hifidy tanàna ianareo, ho tanàna fandosirana ho anareo, mba handosiran’ izay nahafaty olona tsy nahy.
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.
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 'As to the cities which ye give — six [are] cities of refuge to you;
Ary ireo tanàna homenareo ireo dia ho tanàna fandosirana enina ho anareo.
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.
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 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.
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 '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.
Kanefa raha misy mamely vy olona ka mahafaty, dia nahafaty olona izy; hatao maty tokoa izay nahafaty olona.
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.
Ary raha misy mamely vato olona ka mahafaty, dia nahafaty olona izy; hatao maty tokoa izay nahafaty olona.
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.
Ary raha misy mamely hazo olona ka mahafaty, dia nahafaty olona izy; hatao maty tokoa izay nahafaty olona.
19 'The redeemer of blood himself doth put the murderer to death; in his coming against him he doth put him to death.
Ny mpamaly rà no mahazo mamono azy; raha mihaona aminy izy, dia mahazo mamono azy.
20 'And if in hatred he thrust him through, or hath cast [anything] at him by lying in wait, and he dieth;
Ary raha misy mamely olona noho ny lolom-po, na mitoraka olona amin’ ny fanotrehana, ka mahafaty,
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.
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 'And if, in an instant, without enmity, he hath thrust him through, or hath cast at him any instrument, without lying in wait;
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 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;
na sendra manjera vato ka mahafaty olona, nefa tsy hitany, sady tsy fahavalony izy, na mitady handratra azy,
24 then have the company judged between the smiter and the redeemer of blood, by these judgments.
dia hotsarain’ ny fiangonana ilay namely sy ny mpamaly rà araka izany lalàna izany.
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.
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 'And if the man-slayer at all go out [from] the border of the city of his refuge whither he fleeth,
Fa raha mivoaka ho eo ivelan’ ny tanàna fandosirana izay nalehany tamin’ izy nandositra ilay nahafaty olona
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;
ka hitan’ ny mpamaly rà eo ivelan’ ny tanàna, dia azony vonoina izy; ary tsy hisy valin-drà amin’ izany,
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.
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 'And these things have been to you for a statute of judgment to your generations, in all your dwellings:
Ary izany zavatra izany dia ho lalàna hitondrana anareo hatramin’ ny taranakareo fara mandimby eny amin’ izay rehetra onenanareo.
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.
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 take no atonement for the life of a murderer who [is] condemned — to die, for he is certainly 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 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.
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 '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;
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 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.'
Ary aza lotoinareo ny tany onenanareo, izay itoerako; fa Izaho Jehovah mitoetra eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
