Numbers 35

1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in the plains of Moab, by Jordan, [near] Jericho, saying,

I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi i nga mania o Moapa, i te wahi o Horano, ki Heriko, i mea,

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.

Whakahaua nga tama a Iharaira kia homai ki nga Riwaiti etahi pa o o ratou kainga ka riro nei i a ratou hei nohoanga; me hoatu ano ki nga Riwaiti nga wahi o waho o aua pa a tawhio noa.

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.

A ko nga pa hei nohoanga mo ratou; ko nga wahi hoki o waho ake mo a ratou kararehe, mo o ratou taonga, mo a ratou kirehe katoa.

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.

A, ko nga wahi o waho o nga pa, e hoatu e koutou ki nga Riwaiti, kia kotahi mano nga whatianga i te taiepa atu ano o te pa, a haere whakawaho a tawhio noa.

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.

Me ruri ano e koutou i waho o te pa, i te taha ki te rawhiti kia rua mano whatianga, i te taha ki te tonga kia rua mano whatianga, i te taha ki te hauauru kia rua mano whatianga, i te taha hoki ki te raki kia rua mano whatianga, a hei waenganui t e pa: ko nga wahi tenei mo ratou o waho i nga pa.

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;

A kia ono nga pa whakaora i roto i nga pa e hoatu e koutou ki nga Riwaiti; me hoatu hei rerenga atu mo te kaiwhakamate: kia wha tekau ma rua hoki nga pa e tapiritia e koutou ki ena.

7 all the cities which ye give to the Levites [are] forty and eight cities, them and their suburbs.

Ko nga pa katoa e hoatu e koutou ki nga Riwaiti, kia wha tekau ma waru: era, me nga wahi o waho ake.

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.'

A hei roto i te wahi tuturu o nga tama a Iharaira nga pa e hoatu e koutou; kia maha i roto i nga mea maha, kia ouou hoki i roto i nga mea ouou, kia rite ki tona kainga e riro i a ia ona pa e hoatu e tera, e tera, ki nga Riwaiti.

9 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

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,

Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, E whiti koutou i Horano ki te whenua o Kanaana;

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,

Na ka whakarite i etahi pa mo koutou hei pa whakaora, hei rerenga atu mo te tangata whakamate, i whakamate nei i te tangata, otiia ehara i te mea ata whakaaro.

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.

A ka waiho e koutou hei pa whakaora kei mate i te kaitakitaki; kei mate te tangata whakamate, kia tu ra ano ia ki te aroaro o te whakaminenga, kia whakawakia.

13 'As to the cities which ye give — six [are] cities of refuge to you;

A kia ono nga pa e waiho hei whakaora, o nga pa e hoatu nei e koutou.

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.

Kia toru nga pa e hoatu e koutou i tenei taha o Horano, kia toru hoki nga pa e hoatu e koutou i te whenua o Kanaana; me waiho hei pa whakaora.

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.

Hei whakaora enei pa e ono mo nga tama a Iharaira, mo te manene, mo te nohonoa i roto i a koutou: hei rerenga atu mo nga tangata i mate ai tetahi, otiia ehara i te mea ata whakaaro.

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.

Otiia ki te patu ia i a ia ki te mea rino, a ka mate, he kaikohuru ia: kia mate rawa te kaikohuru.

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.

Ki te patu ano hoki ia i a ia ki te kohatu i whiua e ia kia mate rawa ai, a ka mate, he kaikohuru ia: kia mate rawa te kaikohuru.

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.

Ki te patu ranei ia i a ia ki te mea rakau a te ringa kia mate ai, a ka mate, he kaikohuru ia: kia mate rawa te kaikohuru.

19 'The redeemer of blood himself doth put the murderer to death; in his coming against him he doth put him to death.

Ma te kaitakitaki toto ake ano e whakamate te kaikohuhu; e whakamate ia i a ia ina tutaki ki a ia.

20 'And if in hatred he thrust him through, or hath cast [anything] at him by lying in wait, and he dieth;

Ki te mea he ngakau kino tona, a ka wero ia i a ia; ki te whanga atu ranei ia, a ka epaina atu ia kia mate;

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.

Ki te mauahara ranei ia, a ka patu i a ia ki tona ringa e mate ai ia; kia mate rawa te kaipatu, he kaikohuru ia: e whakamatea te kaikohuru e te kaitakitaki toto, ina tutaki ki a ia.

22 'And if, in an instant, without enmity, he hath thrust him through, or hath cast at him any instrument, without lying in wait;

Tena ia, mehemea he oho noa ake tana wero i a ia, ehara i te mea mauahara; ki te epaina ranei ia ki tetahi mea, a kihai i whakanga atu;

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;

Ki te kohatu ranei, ki te mea e mate ai, a kihai i kitea atu, na kua u ki a ia, a ka mate, kahore ano hoki ona mauahara ki a ia, kihai ano hoki i rapu i te he mona;

24 then have the company judged between the smiter and the redeemer of blood, by these judgments.

Katahi ka whakarite te whakaminenga i ta te kaipatu, i ta te kaitakitaki toto; kia rite ki enei ritenga:

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.

A ka whakaorangia e te whakaminenga te kaiwhakamate i roto i te ringa o te kaitakitaki toto, me whakahoki ano ia e te whakaminenga ki tona pa whakaora, i rere atu ai ia: a ka noho ia ki reira a mate noa te tino tohunga i whakawahia ki te hinu ta pu.

26 'And if the man-slayer at all go out [from] the border of the city of his refuge whither he fleeth,

Ki te puta kau atu te kawhakamate ki waho o te rohe o tona pa whakaora i rere atu nei ia;

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;

A ka pono ki a ia te kaitakitaki toto ki waho o te rohe o tona pa whakaora, a ka patua te kaiwhakamate e te kaitakitaki toto, e kore e whakairia he toto ki a ia:

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.

Me noho hoki ia i roto i tona pa whakaora, kia mate ra ano te tino tohunga; a, muri iho i te matenga o te tino tohunga ka hoki te kaiwhakamate ki tona whenua tupu.

29 'And these things have been to you for a statute of judgment to your generations, in all your dwellings:

Na hei tikanga whakawa enei ma koutou, i o koutou whakatupuranga, i o koutou nohoanga katoa.

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.

Ki te patu tetahi i te tangata, ma te mangai o nga kaiwhakaatu e whakamatea ai te kaikohuru: kaua ano te kaiwhakaatu kotahi e whakatau he ki tetahi, e mate ai.

31 'And ye take no atonement for the life of a murderer who [is] condemned — to die, for he is certainly put to death;

Kaua ano hoki e tangohia he utu mo te kaikohuru kia ora, ki te mea he hara tona e mate ai: engari kia mate rawa ia.

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.

Kaua ano e tango utu mo te tangata i rere ki tona pa whakaora, kia hoki ai ia ki te whenua noho ai; kia mate ra ano te tohunga.

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;

Kia kore ai e whakapokea e koutou te whenua kei reira nei koutou: ma nga toto hoki e poke ai te whenua: heoi ano hoki te mea hei pure i nga toto i whakahekea ki te whenua, ko nga toto o te kaiwhakaheke.

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.'

Kaua e whakapokea te whenua e noho ai koutou, e noho ai ahau: no te mea e noho ana ahau, a Ihowa, i waenganui i nga tama a Iharaira.
