Men exilid, and fugityues, schulen not mow turne ayen in ony maner in to her citees, bifore the deeth of the bischop, lest ye defoulen the lond of youre abitacioun,
33 “‘Ale womagblẽ kɔ ɖo na anyigba la o, elabena hlɔ̃dodo gblẽa kɔ ɖo na anyigba la. Gawu la, nu si woate ŋu atsɔ alé avu ɖe hlɔ̃dodo ta koe nye hlɔ̃dola la wuwu.
which is defoulid bi the blood of innocent men; and it may not be clensid in other maner, no but bi the blood of hym, that schedde the blood of anothir man.
34 Migado ŋunyɔ anyigba si dzi nɔ ge miala la o, elabena nye, Yehowa, mele afi ma nɔ ge.’”
And so youre possessioun schal be clensid, for Y schal dwelle with you; for Y am the Lord, that dwelle among the sones of Israel.
