Kanawailua 19
1 A IA hoopau o Iehova kou Akua i na lahuikanaka, no lakou ka aina a Iehova kou Akua e haawi mai ai nou, a lilo ko lakou wahi nou, a e noho iho oe ma ko lakou kulanakauhale, a maloko hoi o ko lakou mau hale;
When Yahweh your God cuts off the nations, those whose land Yahweh your God is giving you, and when you come after them and live in their cities and houses,
2 Alaila e hookaawale oe i na kulanakauhale ekolu nou iwaena o kou aina a Iehova kou Akua e haawi lilo mai ai nou.
you must select three cities for yourself in the middle of your land that Yahweh your God is giving you to possess.
3 E hoomakaukau i alanui nou, a o kou aina a Iehova kou Akua i hoolilo mai ai nou, o kau ia e mahele i na mokuna ekolu, i holo ai na pepehi kanaka a pau ilaila.
You must build a road and divide the borders of your land into three parts, the land that Yahweh your God is causing you to inherit, so that everyone who kills another person may flee there.
4 Eia ke ano o ka pepehi kanaka e holo ai ilaila i ola ia: o ka mea pepehi i kona hoalauna me ka ike ole, aole ia i inaina aku ia ia mamua;
This is the law for the one who kills another and who flees there to live—anyone who kills his neighbor unintentionally, and did not previously hate him.
5 A o ka mea e hele aku i ka ululaau me kona hoalauna e kua laau, a hahau iho kona lima me ke koilipi e oki i ka laau, a hemo aku la ke koilipi mai ke au aku, a pa i kona hoalauna a make ia, e holo aku ia i kekahi o ia mau kulanakauhale, a ola;
For example, if a man goes into the forest with his neighbor to cut wood, and his chops with the ax to cut down a tree, and the ax head slips off of the handle and strikes his neighbor and kills him—then that man must flee to one of these cities and save his life.
6 O hahai auanei ka hoopai koko mahope o ka pepehi kanaka i kona wa e ukiuki ai kona naau, no ka mea, ua loihi ke ala, a pepehi ia ia; aole nae ona hewa e make ai, no ka mea, aole ia i inaina aku ia ia mamua.
Otherwise the avenger of blood might go after the one who took a life, and in the heat of his anger overtake him, if the distance is too great, strike him and kill him, even though that man did not deserve to die, since he had not hated his neighbor in the past.
7 No ia mea, ke kauoha aku nei au ia oe, i ka i ana'ku, E hookaawale nou i na kulanakauhale ekolu.
Therefore I command you to select three cities for yourself.
8 Ina e hoopalahalaha o Iehova kou Akua i kou mokuna e like me kana i hoohiki ai i kou mau kupuna, a haawi ia oe i ka aina a pau ana i olelo ni e haawi i kou mau kupuna:
If Yahweh your God enlarges your borders, as he has sworn to your ancestors to do, and gives you all the land that he promised to give to your ancestors;
9 Ina paha oe e malama i keia mau kauoha a pau e hana aku ia mea a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la, e aloha aku in Iehova kou Akua, a e hele ma kona aoao i na la a pau, alaila e hookaawale oe nou i na kulanakauhale hou ekolu me kela mau mea ekolu:
if you keep all these commandments to do them, which I am commanding you today—commandments to love Yahweh your God and to always walk in his ways, then you must add three more cities for yourself, besides these three.
10 I ole e hookaheia ke koko hala ole iloko o kou aina a Iehova kou Akua i hoolilo mai ai nou, a maluna ou ke koko.
Do this so that innocent blood is not shed in the midst of the land that Yahweh your God is giving you for as an inheritance, so that no bloodguilt may be on you.
11 Aka, ina e inaina aku kekahi kanaka i kona hoalauna, a halua ia ia, a popoi ia ia, a hahau ia ia a make ia, a holo aku ia iloko o kekahi o keia mau kulanakauhale:
But if anyone hates his neighbor, lies in wait for him, rises up against him, and mortally wounds him so that he dies, and if he then flees into one of these cities—
12 Alaila e hoouna aku na lunakahiko o kona kulanakauhale, a e lawe ia ia mai laila mai. a haawi aku ia ia iloko o ka lima o ka mea hoopai koko, i make ai oia.
then the elders of his city must send and bring him back from there, and turn him over into the hand of the responsible relative, so that he may die.
13 Mai minamina kou maka ia ia; aka, e huikala aku oe i ke koko hala ole mai ka Iseraela aku, i pomaikai ai oe.
Your eye must not pity him; instead, you must eradicate the bloodguilt from Israel, that it may go well with you.
14 Mai hoonee aku oe i ka palena aina o kou hoalauna a ka poe kahiko i hoonoho ai ma kou aina, au i loaa ai ma ka aina a Iehova kou Akua e hoolilo mai ai nou.
You must not remove your neighbor's landmark that they set in place a long time ago, in your inheritance that you will inherit, in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you to possess.
15 Mai ku mai ka mea hoike hookahi i ke kanaka, no kekahi hala, a no kekahi hewa i na hewa a pau ana i hana hewa ai: ma ka waha o na mea hoike elua, a o na mea hoike ekolu paha, e hookupaaia'i ia mea.
One sole witness must not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any matter that he sins; at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, must any matter be confirmed.
16 Ina paha e ku mai ka mea hoike hewa i kekahi kanaka, a hoike wahahee ia ia;
Suppose that an unrighteous witness rises up against any man to testify against him of wrongdoing.
17 Alaila, o laua, na mea hoopaapaa, e ku imua o Iehova, imua o na kahuna a me na lunakanawai e noho ana ia manawa;
Then both men, the ones between whom the controversy exists, must stand before Yahweh, before the priests and the judges who serve in those days.
18 A e imi pono na lunakanawai: aia hoi, he wahahee ka mea nana i hoike, a ua hoike wahahee i kona hoahanau:
The judges must make diligent inquiries; see, if the witness is a false witness and has testified falsely against his brother,
19 Alaila e hana aku oukou ia ia e like me kana i manao ai e hana aku i kona hoahanau: a e lawe aku oe i ka hewa mai ou aku la.
then must you do to him, as he had wished to do to his brother; and you will remove the evil from among you.
20 A e hoolohe ka poe i koe, a makau hoi, aole e hana hou lakou e like me keia hewa iwaena o oukou.
Then those who remain will hear and fear, and will from then on commit no longer any such evil among you.
21 Mai minamina kou maka; he ola no ke ola; he maka no ka maka; he niho no ka niho; he lima no ka lima; he wawae no ka wawae.
Your eyes must not pity; life will pay for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
