Numero 35
1 Nagsao ni Yahweh kenni Moises kadagiti patad ti Moab iti igid ti Jordan idiay Jerico ket kinunana,
Yahweh spoke to Moses on the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho and said,
2 “Bilinem dagiti tattao ti Israel a mangtedda kadagiti sumagmamano a bukod a bingayda a daga kadagiti Levita. Masapul a mangtedda kadakuada kadagiti siudad a pagnaedan ken daga a pagpaaraban iti aglawlaw kadagitoy a siudad.
“Command the people of Israel to give some of their own shares of land to the Levites. They must give them cities to live in and pastureland surrounding those cities.
3 Awatento dagiti Levita dagitoy a siudad a pagnaedan. Maipaayto ti daga a pagpaaraban kadagiti bakada, arbanda, ken kadagiti amin nga ay-ayupda.
The Levites will have these cities to live in. The pastureland will be for their cattle, their flocks, and all their animals.
4 Dagiti daga a pagpaaraban iti aglawlaw dagiti siudad nga itedyonto kadagiti Levita ket masapul nga aglayon manipud kadagiti pader ti siudad iti 1, 000 a kasiko iti tunggal pagturonganna.
The pasturelands around the cities that you will give to the Levites must extend from the city walls for one thousand cubits in every direction.
5 Masapul a mangrukodka ti 2, 000 a kasiko manipud iti ruar ti siudad iti daya a paset, ken 2, 000 a kasiko iti abagatan a paset, 2, 000 a kasiko iti laud a paset, ken 2, 000 a kasiko iti amianan a paset. Daytoyto ti daga a pagaraban a maipaay kadagiti siudadda. Dagiti siudad ket addanto iti tengnga.
You must measure two thousand cubits from outside the city on the east side, and two thousand cubits to the south side, two thousand cubits to the west side, and two thousand cubits to the north side. This will be the pasturelands for their cities. The cities will be in the center.
6 Dagiti innem kadagiti siudad nga itedyonto kadagiti Levita ket masapul nga agpaay a kas siudad a pagkamangan. Masapul nga ipaayyo dagitoy a kas lugar a pagkamangan dagiti naakusaran a mammapatay. Mangipaaykayo met iti 42 a dadduma a siudad.
Six of the cities that you will give to Levites must serve as cities of refuge. You must provide these as places to which a person who has killed someone can flee. Also provide forty-two other cities.
7 Agdagup iti 48 dagiti siudad nga itedyo kadagiti Levita. Masapul nga itedyo kadakuada dagiti pagaraban a dagada.
The cities that you give to the Levites will total forty-eight. You must give their pasturelands with them.
8 Dagiti dakdakkel a tribu dagiti tattao ti Israel, dagiti tribu a nalawlawa ti dagada, ket masapul a mangited iti ad-adu a siudad. Dagiti basbassit a tribu ket mangited ti basbassit a siudad. Masapul a manipaay ti tunggal tribu iti para kadagiti Levita segun iti bingay a naawat daytoy.”
The larger tribes of the people of Israel, the tribes that have more land, must provide more cities. The smaller tribes will provide fewer cities. Each tribe must provide for the Levites according to the share that it has received.”
9 Ket nagsao ni Yahweh kenni Moises ket kinunana,
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
10 “Agsaoka kadagiti tattao ti Israel ket ibagam kadakuada, 'Inton bumallasiwkayo iti Jordan a mapan iti daga ti Canaan,
“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, 'When you cross over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
11 ket masapul a mangpilikayo kadagiti siudad nga agpaay a kas siudad a pagkamangan para kadakayo, tapno siasinoman a makapatay iti maysa a tao a saanna nga inggagara ket mabalinna a kumamang kadagitoy.
then you must choose cities to serve as cities of refuge for you, a place to which a person who has killed someone unintentionally may flee.
12 Dagitoy a siudad ket agbalinto a pagkamanganyo manipud iti mangibales, tapno saanto a mapapatay ti tao a naakusaran a saan nga agtakder nga umuna iti pangukoman iti sangoanan dagiti tattao.
These cities must be your refuge from the avenger, so that the accused man will not be killed without first standing trial before the community.
13 Masapul a mangpilikayo iti innem a siudad nga agpaay a kas siudad a pagkamangan.
You must choose six cities as cities of refuge.
14 Masapul a mangipaaykayo iti tallo a siudad iti labes ti Jordan ken tallo idiay daga ti Canaan. Agbalinto dagitoy a siudad a pagkamangan.
You must provide three cities beyond the Jordan and three in the land of Canaan. They will be cities of refuge.
15 Para kadagiti tattao ti Israel, kadagiti ganggannaet, kadagiti tunggal maysa nga agnanaed kadakayo, dagitoy nga innem a siudad ket agpaayto a kas pagkamangan dagiti siasinoman a makapatay ti maysa a tao.
For the people of Israel, for the foreigners, for anyone living among you, these six cities will serve as a refuge to which anyone who kills someone unintentionally can flee.
16 Ngem no kinabil ti naakusaran a tao ti biktimana babaen iti alikamen a landok, ket no matay ti biktimana, pudno ngaru a mammapatay ti naakusaran. Awan dua-dua a mapapatay isuna.
But if an accused man has struck his victim with an instrument of iron, and if his victim dies, then the accused is indeed a murderer. He must certainly be put to death.
17 No kinabil ti naakusaran a tao ti biktimana babaen iti maysa a bato iti imana a mabalin a makapatay iti biktima, ket no matay ti biktimana, pudno ngarud a mammapatay ti naakusaran. Awan dua-dua a mapapatay isuna.
If an accused man has struck his victim with a stone in his hand that might kill the victim, and if his victim dies, then the accused is indeed a murderer. He must certainly be put to death.
18 No kinabil ti naakusaran a tao ti biktimana babaen iti kayo nga igam a mabalin a makapatay iti biktima, ket no matay ti dinangranna, pudno ngarud a mammapatay ti naakusaran. Awan dua-dua a mapapatay isuna.
If an accused man has struck his victim with a wooden weapon that might kill the victim, and if the victim dies, then the accused is indeed a murderer. He must certainly be put to death.
19 Ti mangibales iti dara ket mabalin nga isuna mismo ti mangpatay iti mammapatay. Inton masabatna isuna, mabalinna a papatayen isuna.
The avenger of blood may put the murderer to death. When he meets him, the avenger of blood must put him to death.
20 Ket no sigugura nga iduron ti naakusaran a tao ti siasinoman wenno barsakenna isuna, bayat nga aglemlemmeng a mangsaneb kenkuana, ket natay ti biktimana,
If he strikes another in hatred or throws something at him, while hiding to ambush him, so that the victim dies,
21 wenno no sigugura a kinabilna isuna babaen iti imana a nakatayan ti biktimana, awan dua-dua ngarud a mapapatay ti naakusaran a tao a nangkabil kenkuana. Mammapatay isuna. Ti mangibales iti dara ket mabalin a papatayenna ti mammapatay inton masabatna isuna.
or if he strikes him down in hatred with his hand so that the victim dies, then the accused who struck him must surely be put to death. He is a murderer. The avenger of blood may put the murderer to death when he meets him.
22 Ngem no kellaat a nadangran ti naakusaran a tao ti biktima nga awan ti gurana iti napalabas wenno nabarsakna ti biktima a saanna a sinaneb
But if an accused man suddenly hits a victim without premeditated hate or throws something that hits the victim without lying in wait
23 wenno no nangipurwak iti bato a mabalin a makapatay iti biktima a saanna a nakita ti biktima, ti naakusaran ngarud ket saan a kabusor ti biktima; saanna a pinadas a dangran ti biktima. Ngem no natay latta ti bikitima,
or if he throws a stone that could kill a victim without seeing the victim, then the accused was not the victim's enemy; he was not trying to hurt the victim. But this is what to do if the victim dies anyway.
24 iti dayta a pasamak, masapul a mangngeddeng dagiti tattao iti nagbaetan ti naakusaran ken ti mangibales iti dara a maibasar kadagitoy a pagannurotan.
In that case, the community must judge between the accused and the avenger of blood on the basis of these rules.
25 Masapul nga ispalen dagiti tattao ti naakusaran manipud iti pannakabalin ti mangibales iti dara. Masapul nga isubli dagiti tattao ti naakusaran iti siudad a pagkamangan a sigud a nagkamanganna. Masapul nga agnaed isuna sadiay agingga iti ipapatay iti agdama a kangatoan a padi, ti napulotan ti nasantoan a lana.
The community must rescue the accused from the power of the avenger of blood. The community must return the accused to the city of refuge to which he had originally fled. He must live there until the death of the current high priest, the one who was anointed with the holy oil.
26 Ngem no lummabes ti naakusaran a tao iti aniaman a tiempo iti beddeng ti siudad a pagkamangan a nagkamanganna,
But if the accused man at any time goes beyond the border of the city of refuge to which he fled,
27 ket no nasarakan isuna ti mangibales iti dara iti ruar ti beddeng iti siudad a nagkamanganna, ket no pinapatayna ti naakusaran a tao, saanto a nakabasol ti mangibales iti dara iti panangpapatay.
and if the avenger of blood finds him outside the border of his city of refuge, and if he kills the accused man, the avenger of blood will not be guilty of murder.
28 Daytoy ket gapu ta masapul a nagtalinaed koma ti naakusaran a tao iti siudad a nagkamanganna agingga iti ipapatay ti kangatoan a padi. Kalpasan ti ipapatay ti kangatoan a padi, mabalinton nga agsubli ti naakusaran iti daga nga ayan ti bukodna a sanikua.
This is because the accused man should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. After the death of the high priest, the accused may return to the land where he has his own property.
29 Dagitoy a linteg ket masapul nga agbalin nga alagaden nga agpaay kadakayo iti amin a tattao ti henerasionyo iti amin a lugar a pagnaedanyo.
These laws must be statutes for you through all your people's generations in all the places where you live.
30 Siasinoman a pumatay iti maysa a tao, masapul a mapapatay ti mammapatay, a mapaneknekan babaen kadagiti sao dagiti saksi. Ngem ti maysa a sao laeng ti saksi ket saan nga umanay a mapapatay ti siasinoman a tao.
Whoever kills any person, the murderer must be killed, as testified to by the words of witnesses. But one witness' word alone may not cause any person to be put to death.
31 Masapul a saankayo pay nga umawat ti pangsubbot para iti biag ti mammapatay a nakabasol iti panangpapatay. Awan dua-dua a mapapatay isuna.
Also, you must not accept ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of murder. He must certainly be put to death.
32 Ken masapul a saankayo nga umawat ti pangsubbot para iti tao a nagkamang iti siudad a pagkamangan. Masapul a saanyo nga ipalubos nga agnaed isuna iti bukodna a sanikua iti kastoy a wagas agingga a matay ti kangatoan a padi.
You must not accept ransom for the one who has fled to a city of refuge. You must not in this way allow him to reside on his own property until the high priest dies.
33 Saanyo a rugitan ti daga a pagnanaedanyo iti kastoy a wagas, gapu ta ti dara a nagtaud iti panangpapatay ket rugitanna ti daga. Awan ti maaramid a pannakadalus nga agpaay iti daga inton naisayasay ti dara iti daytoy, malaksid iti dara ti nangpasayasay daytoy.
Do not pollute in this way the land where you live, because blood from murder pollutes the land. No atonement can be made for the land when blood has been shed on it, except by the blood of the one who shed it.
34 Isu a saanyo tulawan ti daga a pagnanaedanyo gapu ta agnanaedak iti daytoy. Siak ni Yahweh, agnanaedak kadagiti tattao ti Israel.'”
So you must not defile the land in which you live because I am living in it. I, Yahweh, live among the people of Israel.'”
