Zosua 20

1 Ana hutageno Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Josuana asami'ne,

And the Lord said to Joshua,

2 Israeli vahe'mokizmia zamasamige'za vahe'mo'zama koro fre'za zamagu'ma ome vazi'naza rankumatamina Mosesema asamugeno tamasami'nea kante ante'za mago'a huhamprinteho.

Say to the children of Israel, Let certain towns be marked out as safe places, as I said to you by the mouth of Moses,

3 Hanki mago'mo'ma, vahe ahefri antahintahi omne'nena hantagama huno vahe'ma ahe frisuno'a, agra koro freno ana aguvazi kumatamimpi vuno umanisige'za, anama ahe fri'nesia vahe'mofo naga'mo'zama ahenaku'ma hanazana ohegahaze.

So that any man who in error and without design has taken the life of another, may go in flight to them: and they will be safe places for you from him who has the right of punishment for blood.

4 Hagi ana ne'mo'ma koro'ma freno mago kuma'mofo ufre kahante'ma vanuno'a, agra ana kumamofo ufre kahante umani'neno, ana kumate ugota vahe'ene, agrama hu'nea zankura keaga eri fatgo hino. Anama hutesige'za atresageno ufreno ana kumapina zamagrane umanigahie.

And if anyone goes in flight to one of those towns, and comes into the public place of the town, and puts his cause before the responsible men of the town, they will take him into the town and give him a place among them where he may be safe.

5 Hanki agrama hu'nea hazenkere'ma nona hunaku mago vahe'mo'ma rotagoma huno ana kumate'ma esige'za, ana kumate'ma ugota hu'naza kva vahe'mo'za anama hazenkema hu'nea nera avre omigahaze. Na'ankure agri ha' vahera omani'ne. Hianagi ahe frisue huno oheneanki, amne hantaga huno ahe fri'negu, ana kumapi vahe'mo'za ana nera kegava hunteho.

And if the one who has the right of punishment comes after him, they are not to give the taker of life up to him; because he was the cause of his neighbour's death without designing it and not in hate.

6 Hanki agra ana kumapinke'za mani'nesige'za, ana kumapima nemaniza maka vahe zamavure keaga'a refko hugahaze. Hanki keaga'ama refko'ma hanageno'ma hazenkema omane'nesigeno'a, agra ana kumapinke mani'nesigeno, ana knafima ugagotama hu'nesia pristi nera fritesigeno, mopa agafa'arera ete vugahie.

And he is to go on living in that town till he has to come before the meeting of the people to be judged; (till the death of him who is high priest at that time: ) then the taker of life may come back to his town and to his house, to the town from which he had gone in flight.

7 Hanki Ra Anumzamo'ma anankema hiana antahite'za, Naftali naga'mokizmi mopamofo agona asoparega, Galili kaziga me'nea kuma Kadesima, Efraemi naga mopamofo agonamofo asoparega me'nea kuma Sekemine, Juda nagamokizmi mopamofo agona asoparega me'nea kuma Kiriat-Arba (mago agi'a menina Hebronie nehaze) ana kumatami hu hampri'naze.

So they made selection of Kedesh in Galilee in the hill-country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (which is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah.

8 Hanki Jeriko kumamofo zage hanatitega, Jodani timofo kantu kaziga, ka'ma mopama me'nerega Rubeni naga'mofo agupo moparega me'nea kumara Bezerima, Gileati kaziga Gati naga'mofo mopa me'nea kuma Ramotima, Basani kazigama Golani mopa Manase naga'mofo mopafima me'nea rankuma huhampri'naze.

And on the east side of Jordan at Jericho, they made selection of Bezer in the waste land, in the table-land, out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.

9 Hanki Israeli vahepinti mago'mo'o, ru vahe'ma tamagranema emani'nesaza vahepinti, mago'mo'ma, vahe ahefri antahintahima omne'ne'nigeno hantaga huno mago vahe'ma ahe frisuno'a, anama huhamprinte kumatamimpi koro freno umani'nesigeno, nona huno ahe frisue huno rotago huno'ma esimo'a, ahe ofrigahie. Na'ankure agra maka vahe zamavurera keagafina oraoti'ne.

These were the towns marked out for all the children of Israel and for the man from a strange country living among them, so that anyone causing the death of another in error, might go in flight there, and not be put to death by him who has the right of punishment for blood till he had come before the meeting of the people.
