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 unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho, saying,
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 unto the Levites from the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and an open space for the cities round about them shall ye give [also] unto the Levites.
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.
And the cities shall serve them to dwell in; and their open spaces shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their requirements.
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.
And the open spaces of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
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.
And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits, with the city in the midst: this shall be to them the open spaces of the cities.
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 the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall appoint that the manslayer may flee thither; and in addition to them shall ye give forty and two cities.
7 Tout vil ke nou va bay a Levit yo va karanntuit vil ansanm avèk teren patiraj pa yo.
All the cities which ye shall [thus] give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities, they with their open spaces.
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 the cities which ye shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the tribe that hath many shall ye give many; but from the one that hath few shall ye give few: every one according to its inheritance which it may inherit shall give of its cities unto the Levites.
9 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses. saying,
10 “Pale avèk fis Israël yo pou di yo: ‘Lè nou fin travèse Jourdain an pou lantre nan peyi Canaran an,
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye have passed over the Jordan into the land of Canaan:
11 alò, nou va apwente pou nou menm vil azil nou, pou sila ki touye moun yo, san entansyon eksprè, kapab sove ale.
Then ye shall appoint unto yourselves proper cities, that they be cities of refuge for you; and thither shall flee the manslayer who killeth any person at unawares.
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 these cities shall be unto you for a refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he have stood before the congregation for trial.
13 Vil ke nou bay yo va sis vil nou yo pou azil.
And the cities which ye shall give, shall be six cities of refuge unto you;
14 Nou va bay twa vil lòtbò Jourdain an ak twa vil nan peyi Canaran an. Yo va sèvi kòm vil azil.
Three of these cities shall ye give on this side of the Jordan, and the three other cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan: cities of refuge shall they be.
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.
For the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them, shall these six cities be for a refuge: that every one may flee thither that killeth any person at unawares.
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.
And if he have smitten him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
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.
And if he have smitten him with a stone which one can take in the hand, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
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.
Or if he have smitten him with an article of wood, which one can take in the hand, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
19 Vanjè san an va, li menm, mete asasen an a lanmò. Li va mete li a lanmò depi li rankontre li.
The avenger of the blood himself shall slay the murderer; when he meeteth him, shall he slay 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,
And if he push against him out of hatred, or he have hurled at him [any thing] by lying in wait, that he die;
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 if in enmity he have smitten him with his hand, that he died, he that smote him shall surely be put to death; [for] he is a murderer: the avenger of the blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth with him.
22 “‘Men si li vin pouse li sibitman san rayisman, oswa li te jete yon bagay sou li san entansyon,
But if he have pushed against him accidentally without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without lying in wait,
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,
Or with any stone wherewith a man may die, without seeing him, and he have let it fall upon him that he died; whereas he was not his enemy, and did not seek his harm:
24 alò, kongregasyon an va jije antre moun ki touye moun nan avèk vanjè san an, selon òdonans sa yo.
Then shall the congregation judge between the slayer and the avenger of the blood according to these institutions;
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.
And the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of the blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he had fled; and he shall abide in it until the death of the high-priest, who hath been 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,
But if the manslayer should at any time pass the boundary of the city of his refuge, whither he may have fled;
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 the avenger of the blood should find him beyond the boundary of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of the blood should kill the manslayer: he shall not be guilty of blood;
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.
Because in the city of his refuge shall be remain until the death of the high-priest; but after the death of the high-priest the manslayer may return unto the land of his possession.
29 “‘Bagay sa yo va yon òdonans lalwa pou tout jenerasyon nou yo nan tout abitasyon nou yo.
And these things shall be unto you for a statute of justice throughout your generations, 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.
Whoever it be that killeth a person, according to the testimony of witnesses shall the murderer be put to death; but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.
31 “‘Anplis, nou pa pou pran ranson pou lavi a yon asasen ki koupab jiska lanmò. Li va, vrèman, vin mete a lanmò.
Moreover ye shall take no redemption money for the person of a murderer, who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death.
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.
And ye shall take no redemption money for him that hath fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
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.
And ye shall not defile the land wherein ye are; for the blood it is which defileth the land: and no atonement can be made unto the land for the blood which hath been shed therein, except through the blood of him that hath shed it.
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 ye shall not render unclean the land which ye inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell; for I the Lord dwell in the midst of the children of Israel.
