Resansman 35
1 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse nan plèn Moab yo akote Jourdain an anfas Jéricho. Li te di:
And the Lord spoke these things also to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, over against Jericho:
2 Kòmande fis a Israël yo pou yo bay a Levit yo soti nan eritaj a posesyon pa yo vil pou Levit yo rete ladan. Konsa, nou va bay a Levit yo teren patiraj ki antoure vil yo.
Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites out of their possessions,
3 Vil yo va pou yo, pou yo viv ladann. Teren pa yo va pou bèf pa yo, pou twoupo pa yo ak pou tout bèt pa yo.
Cities to dwell in, and their suburbs round about: that they may abide in the towns, and the suburbs may be for their cattle and beasts:
4 Teren patiraj lavil ke nou te bay a Levit yo va rive soti nan miray lavil yo, pou lonje rive jis a mil koude.
Which suburbs shall reach from the walls of the cities outward, a thousand paces on every side:
5 Nou va, osi, mezire deyò lavil la nan kote lès, de-mil koude, nan kote sid, de-mil koude, nan kote lwès, de-mil koude, ak nan kote nò, de-mil koude, avèk vil nan mitan li an. Sa va devni pou yo kòm teren pa yo pou vil yo.
Toward the east shall be two thousand cubits: and toward the south in like manner shall be two thousand cubits: toward the sea also, which looketh to the west, shall be the same extent: and the north side shall be bounded with the like limits. And the cities shall be in the midst, and the suburbs without.
6 Vil ke nou va bay a Levit yo va sis vil azil kote moun ki touye moun kapab sove ale. Anplis de sa yo, nou va bay karann-de vil.
And among the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, six shall be separated for refuge to fugitives, that he who hath shed blood may flee to them: and besides these there shall be other forty-two cities,
7 Tout vil ke nou va bay a Levit yo va karanntuit vil ansanm avèk teren patiraj pa yo.
That is, in all forty-eight with their suburbs.
8 Selon vil ke nou va bay soti nan posesyon a fis Israël yo, nou va pran plis nan men pi gran yo, e nou va pran mwens nan men pi piti yo. A tout selon eritaj li ke li resevwa va bay kèk nan vil pa li yo a Levit yo.
And of these cities which shall be given out of the possessions of the children of Israel, from them that have more, more shall be taken: and from them that have less, fewer. Each shall give towns to the Levites according to the extent of their inheritance.
9 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
The Lord said to Moses:
10 “Pale avèk fis Israël yo pou di yo: ‘Lè nou fin travèse Jourdain an pou lantre nan peyi Canaran an,
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have passed over the Jordan into the land of Chanaan,
11 alò, nou va apwente pou nou menm vil azil nou, pou sila ki touye moun yo, san entansyon eksprè, kapab sove ale.
Determine what cities shall be for the refuge of fugitives, who have shed blood against their will.
12 Vil yo va pou nou yon refij kont vanjè yo, pou sila ki touye moun nan pa mouri jiskaske li ta vin kanpe devan kongregasyon an pou jije.
And when the fugitive shall be in them, the kinsman of him that is slain may not have power to kill him, until he stand before the multitude, and his cause be judged.
13 Vil ke nou bay yo va sis vil nou yo pou azil.
And of those cities, that are separated for the refuge of fugitives,
14 Nou va bay twa vil lòtbò Jourdain an ak twa vil nan peyi Canaran an. Yo va sèvi kòm vil azil.
Three shall be beyond the Jordan, and three in the land of Chanaan,
15 Sis vil sila yo va tankou refij pou fis Israël yo, pou etranje a ak pou sila ki demere pami yo, pou nenpòt moun ki touye yon moun san entansyon eksprè kapab sove ale pou rive la.
As well for the children of Israel as for strangers and sojourners, that he may flee to them, who hath shed blood against his will.
16 “‘Men si li te frape detwi li avèk yon objè an fè, pou l ta vin mouri, li se yon asasen. Yon asasen va, anverite, vin mete a lanmò.
If any man strike with iron, and he die that was struck: he shall be guilty of murder, and he himself shall die.
17 Si li te frape li avèk yon wòch nan men l, pou l ta vin mouri, epi li mouri, li se yon asasen. Asasen an va vrèman, vin mete a lanmò.
If he throw a stone, and he that is struck die: he shall be punished in the same manner.
18 Oswa, si li te frape li avèk yon bout bwa nan men l pou li ta mouri, e li vin mouri, li se yon asasen. Asasen an va vrèman, vin mete a lanmò.
If he that is struck with wood die: he shall be revenged by the blood of him that struck him.
19 Vanjè san an va, li menm, mete asasen an a lanmò. Li va mete li a lanmò depi li rankontre li.
The kinsman of him that was slain, shall kill the murderer: as soon as he apprehendeth him, he shall kill him.
20 Si li t ap pouse li akoz rayisman, oswa jete yon bagay sou li lè li kouche pou fè pèlen, e kòm rezilta, li te vin mouri,
If through hatred any one push a man, or fling any thing at him with ill design:
21 oswa, si li te frape li avèk men l an rayisman, e li vin mouri, sila ki te frape li a va, vrèman, vin mete a lanmò. Li se yon asasen. Vanjè san an va mete asasen an a lanmò lè li rankontre li.
Or being his enemy, strike; him with his hand, and he die: the striker shall be guilty of murder: the kinsman of him that was slain as soon as he findeth him, shall kill him.
22 “‘Men si li vin pouse li sibitman san rayisman, oswa li te jete yon bagay sou li san entansyon,
But if by chance medley, and without hatred,
23 oswa, avèk nenpòt objè mòtèl an wòch, men san wè, li vin tonbe sou li e li vin mouri, pandan li pa t lènmi li, ni li pa t ap chache pou fè li mal,
And enmity, he do any of these things,
24 alò, kongregasyon an va jije antre moun ki touye moun nan avèk vanjè san an, selon òdonans sa yo.
And this be proved in the hearing of the people, and the cause be debated between him that struck, and the next of kin:
25 Kongregasyon an dwe pwoteje moun ki touye moun nan de men a vanjè san an, e kongregasyon an va voye li retounen nan vil azil kote li te sove ale a. Epi konsa, li va viv ladann jiskaske lanmò wo prèt ki te onksyone avèk lwil sen an.
The innocent shall be delivered from the hand of the revenger, and shall be brought back by sentence into the city, to which he had fled, and he shall abide there until the death of the high priest, that is anointed with the holy oil.
26 “‘Men si moun ki touye moun nan sòti pi lwen ke lizyè pwòp vil azil pa li a, kote li te gen dwa sove ale a,
If the murderer be found without the limits of the cities that are appointed for the banished,
27 epi vanjè san an vin jwenn li deyò lizyè vil azil li a; epi vanjè san an touye moun ki te touye moun nan, li p ap koupab de san an,
And be struck by him that is the avenger of blood: he shall not be guilty that killed him.
28 akoz li te dwe rete nan vil azil pa li a jiskaske wo prèt la vin mouri. Men apre lanmò wo prèt la, moun ki te touye moun nan va retounen vè peyi posesyon pa li a.
For the fugitive ought to have stayed in the city until the death of the high priest: and after he is dead, then shall the manslayer return to his own country.
29 “‘Bagay sa yo va yon òdonans lalwa pou tout jenerasyon nou yo nan tout abitasyon nou yo.
These things shall be perpetual, and for an ordinance in all your dwellings.
30 “‘Si, yon moun touye yon moun, asasen an va vin mete a lanmò sou temwayaj temwen yo, men pèsòn pa pou mete a lanmò sou temwayaj a yon sèl temwen.
The murderer shall be punished by witnesses: none shall be condemned upon the evidence of one man.
31 “‘Anplis, nou pa pou pran ranson pou lavi a yon asasen ki koupab jiska lanmò. Li va, vrèman, vin mete a lanmò.
You shall not take money of him that is guilty of blood, but he shall die forthwith.
32 Nou pa pou pran ranson pou sila ki te sove ale nan vil azil la, pou l kab retounen viv nan peyi a avan lanmò a wo prèt la.
The banished and fugitives before the death of the high priest may by no means return into their own cities.
33 “‘Alò, nou pa pou kontamine peyi kote nou rete a; paske san an va kontamine peyi a e nanpwen ekspiyasyon pou peyi pou san ki koule ladann, sof pa san a sila ki te fè vèse san an.
Defile not the land of your habitation, which is stained with the blood of the innocent: neither can it otherwise be expiated, but by his blood that hath shed the blood of another.
34 Nou pa pou konwonpi peyi kote nou rete a, kote Mwen menm rete a. Paske Mwen, SENYÈ a, Mwen ap viv pami fis Israël yo.’”
And thus shall your possession he cleansed, myself abiding with you. For I am the Lord that dwell among the children of Israel.
