Numbers 35
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in the plains of Moab, by Jordan, [near] Jericho, saying,
Waaqayyos dirreewwan Moʼaab irratti, Yordaanos biratti, Yerikoo gamatti Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
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.
“Israaʼeloonni dhaala ofii isaaniitii argachuuf jiran keessaa magaalaawwan Lewwonni keessa jiraatan akka isaanii kennan Israaʼeloota ajaji. Lafa horii itti bobbaafatanis naannoo magaalaawwaniitti haa kennaniif.
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.
Isaanis magaalaawwan keessa jiraatanii fi lafa itti loon isaaniitii fi horii isaanii kaan hunda bobbaafatan ni qabaatu.
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.
“Lafti horiin itti bobbaʼu kan isin naannoo magaalaawwaniitti Lewwotaaf kennitan sun dallaa magaalaa irraa jalqabee gama hundaan dhundhuma kuma tokko achi balʼata.
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.
Magaalaa sana gidduutti hambisuudhaan karaa alaatiin gama baʼaatiin dhundhuma kuma lama, gama kibbaatiin dhundhuma kuma lama, gama dhiʼaatiin dhundhuma kuma lama, gama kaabaatiin immoo dhundhuma kuma lama safaraa. Iddoowwan kunneen magaalaawwan sanaaf iddoowwan itti horii bobbaafatan taʼu.
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;
“Magaalaawwan jaʼan isin Lewwotaaf kennitan magaalaawwan itti baqatan kanneen namni nama ajjeese itti baqatu taʼu. Magaalaawwan afurtamii lamas kanatti dabalaatii isaanii kennaa.
7 all the cities which ye give to the Levites [are] forty and eight cities, them and their suburbs.
Walumaa galatti magaalaawwan afurtamii saddeet kanneen lafa tika ofii isaanii qaban Lewwotaaf kennaa.
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.'
Magaalaawwan isin lafa Israaʼeloonni dhaalan irraa Lewwotaaf kennitan, akkuma qooda dhaala tokkoo tokkoo gosaatti haa taʼu; gosa dhaala baayʼee qabu irraa magaalaawwan baayʼee, gosa dhaala muraasa qabu irraa immoo magaalaawwan xinnoo fuudhaa.”
9 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe:
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,
“Israaʼelootatti dubbadhu; akkanas jedhiin: ‘Isin yommuu Yordaanosin ceetanii Kanaʼaanitti galtanitti,
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,
akka isin magaalaawwan itti baqatan kanneen namni tasa nama ajjeese itti baqatu isinii taʼaniif magaalaawwan filadhaa.
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.
Magaalaawwan kunneenis akka namni nama ajjeesuudhaan himatame utuu murtii argachuuf waldaa duratti hin dhiʼaatin hin duuneef iddoo inni itti nama haaloo isa baʼu jalaa baqatu taʼu.
13 'As to the cities which ye give — six [are] cities of refuge to you;
Magaalaawwan isin kennitan jaʼan kunneenis magaalaawwan itti baqattan isinii taʼu.
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.
Yordaanos gamanaan magaalaawwan sadii, Kanaʼaan keessaa immoo magaalaawwan sadii, magaalaawwan itti baqatan godhaa kennaa.
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.
Magaalaawwan jaʼan kunneen akka namni tasa nama ajjeese kam iyyuu itti baqatuuf Israaʼelootaaf, alagootaa fi saba isaan gidduu jiraatuuf iddoo itti baqatan taʼu.
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.
“‘Namni tokko yoo meeshaa sibiilaatiin nama dhaʼee namichi sun duʼe, inni ajjeese sun nama gumaa ti; namichi ajjeese sun ajjeefamuu qaba.
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.
Yookaan namni tokko yoo dhagaa nama ajjeesuu dandaʼu harkatti qabatee nama dhaʼee ajjeese, inni nama gumaa ti; namichi nama ajjeese sun ajjeefamuu qaba.
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.
Yookaan namni tokko yoo meeshaa mukaa kan nama ajjeesuu dandaʼu harkatti qabatee nama dhaʼee namichi sun duʼe, inni ajjeese sun nama gumaa ti; namichi nama ajjeese sun ajjeefamuu qaba.
19 'The redeemer of blood himself doth put the murderer to death; in his coming against him he doth put him to death.
Namichi haaloo dhiigaa baʼu sun namicha nama ajjeese sana haa ajjeesu; inni yommuu argatutti isa haa ajjeesu.
20 'And if in hatred he thrust him through, or hath cast [anything] at him by lying in wait, and he dieth;
Namni tokko yoo jibbaan nama darbatee lafaan dhaʼee yookaan beekaa waa itti darbachuudhaan isa ajjeese,
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.
yookaan yoo diinummaadhaan kaʼee harkaan isa dhaʼee namichi sun duʼe, inni nama ajjeese sun ajjeefamuu qaba; inni nama gumaa ti. Namichi haaloo dhiigaa baʼu sun namicha nama ajjeese sana yeroo argatutti isa haa ajjeesu.
22 'And if, in an instant, without enmity, he hath thrust him through, or hath cast at him any instrument, without lying in wait;
“‘Garuu inni yoo utuu diinummaa hin qabaatin tasa nama darbatee lafaan dhaʼe yookaan utuu hin beekin waan tokko isatti darbatee
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;
yookaan utuu isa hin argin dhagaa isa ajjeesuu dandaʼu itti gad dhiisee namichi sun duʼe, inni waan diina isaa hin taʼinii fi isa miidhuuf hin yaadiniif
24 then have the company judged between the smiter and the redeemer of blood, by these judgments.
waldaan sun akkuma seera kanneeniitti namicha nama ajjeese sanaa fi isa haaloo dhiigaa baʼu sana gidduutti murtii haa kennu.
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.
Waldaan sun namicha nama ajjeesuudhaan himatame sana harka namicha haaloo dhiigaa baʼu sanaa jalaa baasee magaalaa inni itti baqatee ture sanatti deebisee isa haa ergu. Innis hamma lubni ol aanaan zayitii qulqulluudhaan dibame sun duʼutti achuma haa turu.
26 'And if the man-slayer at all go out [from] the border of the city of his refuge whither he fleeth,
“‘Taʼus yoo namichi nama ajjeese sun daarii magaalaa itti baqate sanaa keessaa baʼee
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;
namichi haaloo dhiigaa baʼu sun magaalaa sanaan alatti isa argate, namichi haaloo dhiigaa baʼu sun namicha himatame sana ajjeesuu dandaʼa; yakka ajjeechaa sanaattis hin gaafatamu.
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.
Namichi nama ajjeese sun hamma lubni ol aanaan sun duʼutti magaalaa itti baqate keessa turuu qaba; inni erga lubichi ol aanaan duʼee booddee gara qabeenya isaatti deebiʼuu dandaʼa.
29 'And these things have been to you for a statute of judgment to your generations, in all your dwellings:
“‘Isaan kunneenis dhaloota dhufu keessatti lafa isin jiraattan kamitti iyyuu seeraa fi qajeelfama isiniif haa taʼan.
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.
“‘Namni kam iyyuu yoo nama ajjeese namichi sun ragaa dhugaa baatonni kennaniin ajjeefama. Taʼus namni kam iyyuu dhuga baʼumsa nama tokkoo qofaan hin ajjeefamin.
31 'And ye take no atonement for the life of a murderer who [is] condemned — to die, for he is certainly put to death;
“‘Namicha nama ajjeesee duuti isaaf malu tokko irraa gumaa lubbuu hin fudhatinaa. Inni ajjeefamuu qaba.
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.
“‘Akka inni utuu lubichi ol aanaan hin duʼin dura biyya ofii isaatti deebiʼee achi jiraatu eeyyamuuf jettanii nama gara magaalaa itti baqataniitti baqate kamiif iyyuu gumaa hin fudhatinaa.
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;
“‘Sababii dhangalaafamuun dhiigaa biyya xureessuuf, isin biyya keessa jiraattan sana hin xureessinaa; dhiiguma namicha dhiiga dhangalaase sanaatiin malees biyya dhiigni itti dhangalaafame sanaaf araarri hin buufamu.
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.'
Biyya isin keessa jirtan iddoo ani jiraadhu sana hin xureessinaa. Ani Waaqayyo Israaʼeloota gidduu nan jiraadhaatii.’”
