Resansman 35
1 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse nan plèn Moab yo akote Jourdain an anfas Jéricho. Li te di:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in the plains of Moab, by Jordan, [near] 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 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.
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 have been to them to inhabit, and their suburbs are for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their 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.
'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.
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 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.
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 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;
7 Tout vil ke nou va bay a Levit yo va karanntuit vil ansanm avèk teren patiraj pa yo.
all the cities which ye give to the Levites [are] forty and eight cities, them and 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 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.'
9 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
And Jehovah speaketh 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 sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye are passing over the Jordan to 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.
and have prepared to yourselves cities — cities of refuge they are to you — then fled thither hath a man-slayer, smiting a person 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 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.
13 Vil ke nou bay yo va sis vil nou yo pou azil.
'As to the cities which ye give — six [are] cities of refuge to you;
14 Nou va bay twa vil lòtbò Jourdain an ak twa vil nan peyi Canaran an. Yo va sèvi kòm vil azil.
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.
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.
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.
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 with an instrument of iron he hath smitten him, and he dieth, he [is] a murderer: the murderer is certainly 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 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.
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 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.
19 Vanjè san an va, li menm, mete asasen an a lanmò. Li va mete li a lanmò depi li rankontre li.
'The redeemer of blood himself doth put the murderer to death; in his coming against him he doth put him to death.
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 in hatred he thrust him through, or hath cast [anything] at him by lying in wait, and he dieth;
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 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.
22 “‘Men si li vin pouse li sibitman san rayisman, oswa li te jete yon bagay sou li san entansyon,
'And if, in an instant, without enmity, he hath thrust him through, or hath cast at him any instrument, 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 he dieth, without seeing, and causeth [it] to fall upon him, and he dieth, and he [is] not his enemy, nor seeking his evil;
24 alò, kongregasyon an va jije antre moun ki touye moun nan avèk vanjè san an, selon òdonans sa yo.
then have the company judged between the smiter and the redeemer of blood, by these judgments.
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 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.
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,
'And if the man-slayer at all go out [from] the border of the city of his refuge whither he fleeth,
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 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;
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 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.
29 “‘Bagay sa yo va yon òdonans lalwa pou tout jenerasyon nou yo nan tout abitasyon nou yo.
'And these things have been to you for a statute of judgment to 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.
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.
31 “‘Anplis, nou pa pou pran ranson pou lavi a yon asasen ki koupab jiska lanmò. Li va, vrèman, vin mete a lanmò.
'And ye take no atonement for the life of a murderer who [is] condemned — to die, for he is certainly 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 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.
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 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;
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 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.'
