1 A filayen Mowab, wajen Urdun, ɗaura da Yeriko, Ubangiji ya yi magana da Musa ya ce,

Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] in the plains of Moab [From father] by the Jordan [Descender] at Jericho [Fragrant, Moon], saying,

2 “Ka umarci Isra’ilawa su ba wa Lawiyawa garuruwan da za su zauna a ciki daga cikin gādon da Isra’ilawa za su mallaka. A kuma ba su wurin kiwo kewaye da garuruwan.

“Enjoin the children of Israel [God prevails] to give to the Levites [Descendants of United with] of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in. You shall give suburbs for the cities around them to the Levites [Descendants of United with].

3 Sa’an nan za su kasance da garuruwan da za su zauna, su sami fili, da kuma za su yi kiwon garkensu na shanu da tumaki da kuma sauran dabbobinsu.

They shall have the cities to dwell in. Their suburbs shall be for their livestock, and for their possessions, and for all their animals.

4 “Wuraren kiwo a kewayen garuruwan da za a ba wa Lawiyawa, girmansu zai zama mai fāɗin kamu dubu ɗaya daga katangar garin.

“The suburbs of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites [Descendants of United with], shall be from the wall of the city and outward one thousand cubits [1/3 mi; 457.2 km] around it.

5 A bayan garin, ka auna kamu dubu biyu a wajen gabas, kamu dubu biyu a wajen yamma, kamu dubu biyu wajen kudu, da kuma kamu dubu uku wajen arewa, a bar garin a tsakiya. Za su kasance da wannan a matsayin wurin kiwo na garuruwan.

You shall measure outside of the city for the east side two thousand cubits [1/2 mi; 914 km], and for the south side two thousand cubits [1/2 mi; 914 km], and for the west side two thousand cubits [1/2 mi; 914 km], and for the north side two thousand cubits [1/2 mi; 914 km], the city being in the middle. This shall be the suburbs of their cities.

6 “A cikin biranen da za a ba Lawiyawa, shida daga cikin garuruwan za su zama biranen mafaka, inda wanda ya kashe mutum zai gudu yă je. Ban da wannan, a ba su waɗansu garuruwa arba’in da biyu.

“The cities which you shall give to the Levites [Descendants of United with], they shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the man slayer to flee to. Besides them you shall give forty-two cities.

7 Duka-duka dai a ba Lawiyawa garuruwa arba’in da takwas, tare da wuraren kiwonsu.

All the cities which you shall give to the Levites [Descendants of United with] shall be forty-eight cities together with their suburbs.

8 Garuruwan da za ku ba wa Lawiyawa daga ƙasar da Isra’ilawa suka mallaka, za a ba da su bisa girman gādon kowace kabila. Ka karɓi garuruwa masu yawa daga kabilar da take da garuruwa masu yawa, amma kaɗan daga kabilar da ba ta da garuruwa masu yawa.”

Concerning the cities which you shall give of the possession of the children of Israel [God prevails], from the many you shall take many; and from the few you shall take few. Everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give some of his cities to the Levites [Descendants of United with].”

9 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,

Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,

10 “Ka yi magana da Isra’ilawa, ka ce musu, ‘Sa’ad da kuka haye Urdun zuwa Kan’ana,

“Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], and tell them, ‘When you pass over the Jordan [Descender] into the land of Canaan [Humbled],

11 ku zaɓi waɗansu garuruwan da za su zama biranen mafakarku, inda wanda ya kashe mutum cikin kuskure zai iya gudu zuwa.

then you shall appoint for yourselves cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the man slayer who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.

12 Za su zama wuraren mafaka daga hannun mai bin hakki, don kada a kashe mai kisankai, tun ba a kai shi gaban shari’a, a gaban taron jama’a ba.

The cities shall be to you for refuge from the avenger, that the man slayer not die, until he stands before the congregation for judgment.

13 Waɗannan garuruwa shida da aka bayar za su zama biranen mafakarku.

The cities which you shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge.

14 A ba da uku a wannan gefe na Urdun, a kuma ba da uku a Kan’ana, su zama biranen mafaka.

You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan [Descender], and you shall give three cities in the land of Canaan [Humbled]. They shall be cities of refuge.

15 Waɗannan garuruwa shida za su zama wurin mafaka wa Isra’ilawa, baƙi da duk sauran mutanen da suke zama a cikinsu, saboda duk wanda ya kashe mutum cikin kuskure yă iya gudu zuwa.

For the children of Israel [God prevails], and for the stranger and for the foreigner living among them, shall these six cities be for refuge; that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.

16 “‘In wani ya bugi wani da makami na ƙarfe har ya mutu, to, shi mai kisankai ne; sai a kashe mai kisankan nan.

“‘But if he struck him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.

17 Ko kuwa in wani yana riƙe da dutsen da ya isa yă kashe mutum a hannunsa, ya kuma harbi wani da dutsen har ya mutu, to, shi mai kisankai ne, sai a kashe mai kisankan nan.

If he struck him with a stone in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.

18 Ko kuwa wani yana da makami na itace a hannunsa da ya isa yă kashe mutum, ya kuma bugi wani da shi har ya mutu, shi ma mai kisankai ne, sai a kashe mai kisankan nan.

Or if he struck him with a weapon of wood in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.

19 Sai mai bin hakkin jinin yă kashe mai kisankan, sa’ad da ya sadu da mai kisankan, sai yă kashe shi.

The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death. When he meets him, he shall put him to death.

20 In saboda ƙiyayya, mutum ya laɓe, ya soke wani, ko ya jefe shi da wani abu da gangan har ya mutu,

If he shoved him out of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died,

21 ko kuwa saboda ƙiyayya ya naushe shi har ya mutu, sai a kashe wannan mutumin da ya yi haka; shi mai kisankai ne. Sai mai bin hakkin jini yă kashe mai kisankan in ya same shi.

or in hostility struck him with his hand, so that he died, he who struck him shall surely be put to death. He is a murderer. The avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meets him.

22 “‘Amma in cikin tsautsayi ne ya soke shi, ba don ƙiyayya ba, ko kuma ya jefe shi, ba da gangan ba,

“‘But if he shoved him suddenly without hostility, or hurled on him anything without lying in wait,

23 ko kuwa bai gan shi ba, ya jefa dutsen da zai kashe shi a kansa, ya kuwa mutu, to, da yake shi ba abokin gābansa ba ne, bai kuma yi nufi yă ji masa ba,

or with any stone, by which a man may die, not seeing him, and cast it on him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm;

24 dole taro su yi hukunci tsakanin mai laifin, da mai bin hakkin jini bisa waɗannan ƙa’idodi.

then the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of blood according to these judgments.

25 Dole taro su kāre wanda ake zargi da kisa, daga mai bin hakkin jini. Su mai da shi birnin mafaka inda ya gudu ya tafi. Dole yă kasance a can sai mutuwar babban firist, wanda aka shafe da mai mai tsarki.

The congregation shall deliver the man slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, where he had fled. He shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.

26 “‘Amma in wanda ake zargin ya kuskura ya fita, ya kai iyakar birnin mafaka wadda ya gudu ya je,

“‘But if the man slayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, where he flees,

27 idan mai bin hakkin jinin ya same shi a bayan gari, mai bin hakkin jinin zai iya kashe mai kisankai ɗin ba tare da wani laifi ba.

and the avenger of blood finds him outside of the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kills the man slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood,

28 Dole wanda ake zargin, yă kasance a birninsa na mafaka sai bayan mutuwa babban firist; sai bayan mutuwar babban firist ne kawai zai iya komo ga mallakarsa.

because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest, the man slayer shall teshuvah ·completely return· into the land of his possession.

29 “‘Waɗannan su ne za su zama ƙa’idodin da za ku kasance da su, a dukan tsararraki masu zuwa.

“‘These things shall be for a statute and judgement to you throughout all your generations in all your dwellings.

30 “‘Kowa da ya kashe wani, za a kashe shi a matsayin mai kisankai, bisa ga shaidar shaidu. Amma kada a kashe wani bisa ga shaidar mutum ɗaya.

“‘Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses; but one witness shall not testify against any person that he die.

31 “‘Kada a karɓi fansa don ran wanda ya yi kisankai, wanda ya cancanci mutuwa. Lalle ne a kashe shi.

“‘Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death.

32 “‘Kada a karɓi fansa saboda wanda ya tsere zuwa birnin mafaka don yă koma yă zauna gidansa tun babban firist bai rasu ba.

“‘You shall take no ransom for him who is fled to his city of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.

33 “‘Kada ku ƙazantar da ƙasar da kuke zama a ciki. Zub da jini yakan ƙazantar da ƙasa, ba a kuma iya yin kafara saboda wannan ƙasa da aka zub da jini, sai dai ta wurin jinin mutumin da ya zub da jinin.

“‘So you shall not pollute the land in which you are; for blood pollutes the land. No atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it, but by the blood of him who shed it.

34 Kada ku ƙazantar da ƙasar da kuke zama, wadda ni kuma nake zama a ciki, gama Ni Ubangiji, ina zama a cikin Isra’ilawa.’”

You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, in the middle of which I dwell; for I, Adonai, dwell in the middle of the children of Israel [God prevails].’”
