Zosua 20

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

And YHWH speaks to Joshua, saying,

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.

“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, Give cities of refuge for yourselves, as I have spoken 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.

for the fleeing there of a manslayer striking life through ignorance, without knowledge; and they have been for a refuge to you from the redeemer 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.

When [one] has fled to one of these cities, and has stood [at] the opening of the gate of the city, and has spoken his matter in the ears of [the] elderly of that city, then they have gathered him into the city to them, and have given a place to him, and he has dwelt with them.

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 when the redeemer of blood pursues after him, then they do not shut up the manslayer into his hand, for he has struck his neighbor without knowledge, and is not hating him until now;

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 has dwelt in that city until his standing before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the chief priest who is in those days—then the manslayer turns back and has come to his city, and to his house, to the city from where he 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 sanctify Kedesh in Galilee, in the hill-country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and Kirjath-Arba (it [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 beyond the Jordan, [at] Jericho eastward, they have given Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain, 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 have been cities of meeting for all the sons of Israel, and for a sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, for the fleeing there of anyone striking life through ignorance, and he does not die by the hand of the redeemer of blood until his standing before the congregation.
