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 whose land Yahweh your God gives you, and you succeed them and dwell in their cities and in their 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 shall set apart three cities for yourselves in the middle of your land, which Yahweh your God gives 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 shall prepare the way, and divide the borders of your land which Yahweh your God causes you to inherit into three parts, that every man slayer 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 case of the man slayer who shall flee there and live: Whoever kills his neighbor unintentionally, and didn’t hate him in time past—

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;

as when a man goes into the forest with his neighbor to chop wood and his hand swings the ax to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the handle and hits his neighbor so that he dies—he shall flee to one of these cities and live.

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 pursue the man slayer while hot anger is in his heart and overtake him, because the way is long, and strike him mortally, even though he was not worthy of death, because he didn’t hate him in time 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 set apart three cities for yourselves.

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 border, as he has sworn to your fathers, and gives you all the land which he promised to give to your fathers;

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:

and if you keep all this commandment to do it, which I command you today, to love Yahweh your God, and to walk ever in his ways, then you shall add three cities more for yourselves, in addition to 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.

This is so that innocent blood will not be shed in the middle of your land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance, leaving blood guilt 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 any man hates his neighbor, lies in wait for him, rises up against him, strikes him mortally so that he dies, and he 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 shall send and bring him there, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, 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 shall not pity him, but you shall purge the innocent blood 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 shall not remove your neighbor’s landmark, which they of old time have set, in your inheritance which you shall inherit, in the land that Yahweh your God gives 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 witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin that he sins. At the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall a matter be established.

16 Ina paha e ku mai ka mea hoike hewa i kekahi kanaka, a hoike wahahee ia ia;

If 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 the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before Yahweh, before the priests and the judges who shall be 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:

and the judges shall make diligent inquisition; and behold, 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 you shall do to him as he had thought to do to his brother. So you shall 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.

Those who remain shall hear, and fear, and will never again commit 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 shall not pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
