Zosua 20

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

And the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying: “Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them:

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.

Separate the cities of refuge, about which I spoke to you by the hand 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 anyone who will have struck down a life unintentionally may flee to them. And so, he may be able to escape from the wrath of a close relative, who is an avenger of 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 when he will have fled to one of these cities, he shall stand before the gate of the city, and he shall speak to the ancients of that city, the things that prove him innocent. And so shall they receive him, and give him a place in which to live.

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 avenger of blood will have pursued him, they shall not deliver him into his hands. For he struck down his neighbor unknowingly, one who was not proven to have been his enemy two or three days before.

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 shall live in that city, until he stands before judgment in order to render the facts of his case, and until the death of the high priest, whoever it will be in that time. Then the one who killed a man may return, and he may enter his own city and house, from which he had fled.”

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.

And they decreed Kedesh in Galilee, at mount Naphtali, and Shechem, at mount Ephraim, and Kiriath-Arba, which is Hebron, at mount 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 beyond the Jordan, opposite the eastern side of Jericho, they appointed Bezer, which is situated on the plain of the wilderness of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan 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 cities were established for all the sons of Israel, and for the new arrivals who were living among them, so that whoever had struck down a life unintentionally might flee to these, and not die at the hand of a close relative who desires to vindicate the blood that was shed, until he should stand before the people, in order to present his case.
