4 Mose 35

1 Hagi Jodani timofo mago kaziga Jeriko megeno kantu kaziga Moapu agupofi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Mosesena asami'ne,

The Lord spoke to Moses on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan opposite Jericho. He told him,

2 Israeli vahera huge'za erisanti haresaza mopafintira, Livae nagama mani'naza rankumatami'ne, tava'ozamire'ma me'nenia mopa sipisipine bulimakao afu'zamima kegava hanaza mopanena zamiho.

“Order the Israelites to provide from their land allocation towns for the Levites to live in and pastures around the towns.

3 Hagi Livae naga'mo'za ana ran kumatamimpi nemani'za, tava'ozamire'ma me'nesia mopafi sipisipine bulimakao afu'zamia kegava hugahaze.

The towns are for them to live in, and the pastures will be for their herds and their flocks—for all their livestock.

4 Hagi Livae nagama afu'zamima kegava hanaza mopama refko huzamisazana, rankuma keginaretira maka asoparega 450'a mita vuno eno hinkeno, ran kumamo'a amu'nompi megahie.

The pastures around the towns you give to the Levites are to extend out from the wall a thousand cubits on all sides.

5 Hagi kuma keginamofo fegiati'ma nofi'ma avazu hanageno zage hanati kaziga vuno, zage fre kazigama vuno kazantamaga kaziga vuno, kaza hoga kazigama vaniana miko 900 mita hanigeno, e'i ana mopa sipisipine bulimakao afutami kegava hu mopa menkeno, rankumamo'a amu'nompi megahie.

Measure two thousand cubits outside the town on the east, two thousand on the south, two thousand on the west, and two thousand on the north, with the town in the middle. These areas will be their pastures around the towns.

6 Hagi 6si'a kuma'ma Livae naga'ma zamisazana, mago vahe'mo'ma mago'azama hanirega hantagama huno vahe'ma ahefriteno, agu'vazinigu freno umanisia kuma nezamita, ana agofetura 42'a kuma'ene zamigahaze.

Six of the towns you give the Levites are to be sanctuary towns, where a person who kills someone can run for protection. As well as these towns, give the Levites forty-two more.

7 Hagi Livae nagama zami'nazana maka 48'a rankumatamine, afu'zamima kegavama hanaza mopagi huta refko huzamigahaze.

The total number of towns you are to give the Levites is forty-eight, along with their pastures.

8 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'zama erisantima haresaza mopafintira Livae nagara mopa eri zamigahane. Hagi rama'a mopama eri'nesaza nagapintira, rama'a mopa eri'nezamita, osi'a mopama eri'nesaza nagapintira osi'a mopa eri zamigahaze.

The towns that you allocate to be given to the Levites from the territory of the Israelites will be more from a larger tribe and less from a smaller one. The number will be in proportion to the size of the land allocation of each tribe.”

9 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Mosesena asami'ne,

The Lord told Moses,

10 Israeli vahera zamasmige'za Jodani tima takahe'za Kenani mopafima unefresu'za,

“Tell the Israelites: ‘When you cross over the Jordan into Canaan,

11 mago vahe'mo'ma mago'azama haniregama hantaga huno mago vahe'ma ahe frisuno'ma freno vuno ome agu'ma vazisia kumatamina mago'a huhamprintesageno megahie.

choose towns as your sanctuary towns, so a person who kills someone by mistake may run there.

12 Hagi ana kumatamina tamagu'vazi kuma me'nena anama ahe frisaza vahe'mofo naga'mo'za nona hu'za ahe ofrisageno mani'neno keagarera otigahie.

These towns will be for you places of sanctuary from those seeking revenge, so that the killer will not die until they are tried in court.

13 Hagi ana 6si'a kumatamina tamagu'vazi kuma megahie.

The towns you choose will be your six sanctuary towns.

14 Hagi tamagu'vazi kumara 3'a Jodani kaziga huhamprinteta, 3'a Kenani kaziga huhamprintegahaze.

Choose three cities on the other side of the Jordan and three in Canaan as cities of refuge.

15 Hagi e'i ana 6si'a kumamo'a Israeli vaheki, emani vaheki, mago'a erizante vanoma nehania vahe'mo'ma mago'azama hanirega hantga huno vahe'ma ahe friteno, freno ome agu'mavazi'nia kuma megahie.

These six cities will be places of sanctuary for the Israelites and for foreigners or settlers among them, so that anyone who kills a person by mistake may run there.

16 Hianagi aeni kanonteti'ma vahe'ma ahesigeno frisia vahera, agri'enena ahe friho.

But if anyone deliberately hits someone with something made of iron and kills them, that person is a murderer and must be executed.

17 Hagi mago vahe'mo'ma have kanonuma vahe'ma ahefrisia vahera, hazenke hugahianki agri'enena ahefriho.

If anyone picks up something made of stone that could be used as a weapon and hits someone with it, and kills them, that person is a murderer and must be executed.

18 Hagi kanonteti'ma vahe'ma ahefrisia vahera, hazanke hugahianki agri'enena ahe friho.

If anyone picks up something made of wood that could be used as a weapon and hits someone with it, and kills them, that person is a murderer and must be executed.

19 Hagi vahe'ma ahefrisia nera anama frisia vahe'mofo korama'amo'za ana ne'ma kesu'za ahefriho.

The avenger is to execute the murderer. When he finds the murderer, he is to kill him.

20 Hagi vahe'mo'ma magomofo arimpa ahenenteno retufetrege, agona zantetima matevuno ahesigeno frisiana, agra hazenke hugahie.

Similarly, if anyone hates someone and knocks them down or deliberately throws something at them, and they're killed;

21 Hagi mago vahe'mo'ma, mago'mofoma rimpa ahenenteno azankanonu'ma ahesigeno frisiana, agra hazenke hugahianki, ana zante'ma nona hu vahe'mo'za kesu'za ahe friho.

or if someone hits another with his hand and they die, the one who hit him must be executed because he is a murderer. When the avenger finds the murderer, he is to kill him.

22 Hianagi mago'mofoma arimpa aheonte'neno amne retufetresio, mago'a agonazama mate vanirega hantaga huno ahenigeno frisiano,

But if anyone knocks someone else down without meaning to and without hating them, or throws something at them not meaning to hurt them,

23 ha' vahe'a omani'neanagi avu onkeno have atresigeno ahefrisiana, agra antahino keno osu'neno anara hugahianki,

or carelessly drops a heavy stone that kills them, but not as an enemy or intending to harm them,

24 kumapi vahe'mo'zane anama ahenageno frisia ne'mofo avate korama'amo'za atruhu'za ana nanekea antahiza refko hugahaze.

then the community must judge between the killer and the avenger following these regulations.

25 Hagi ana kumapi vahe'mo'za, anama fri'nea vahe'mofo naga'mo'zama ahefrizama nehanage'za, ana nera avre'za agu'vazi kumatega ome atregahaze. Hagi ana ne'mo'a ana kumapi mani'nesigeno, ruotage'ma hu'nea masavema anunte'ma frente'nesia ugota pristi ne'ma fritesigeno, ete kuma'arega vugahie

The court is to protect the killer from being attacked by the avenger and must return him to the sanctuary town that he ran to, and he must stay there until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with holy oil.

26 Hianagi ana pristi ne'ma ofri'nenigeno, ana ne'mo'ma agu'vazi kumama atreno fegi'ama mani'nenigeno,

But if the killer ever leaves the limits of sanctuary town where they ran to,

27 ahe fri'nesia ne'mofo avate korama'amo'ma tutagiha'ma hunteno ahefrisigeno'a keaga omanegosie.

and the avenger finds him them outside his sanctuary town and kills him, then the avenger will not be guilty of murder,

28 Hagi ana hazenke'ma hu'nenia vahe'mo'a agu'vazi kumapi mani'nenigeno ana pristi nera fritenigeno kuma'arega vugahie.

because the killer has to stay in his sanctuary town until the death of the high priest. Only after the death of the high priest are they allowed to return to the land they own.

29 Hagi tamagrane henkama fore hu anante anante'ma huta vanaza vahe'mota, ama ana nanekea kasege me'nena avariri vava hugahaze.

These regulations apply to all future generations wherever you live.

30 Hagi mago vahe'mo'ma vahe'ma ahe nefrisige'za tareo tagufamo'zama kene'za huama'ma huntesage'za ana vahera ahe frigahaze. Hianagi magoke vahe'mo'ma ke'neno'ma huamama hania zantera, ahe ofrigahaze.

If anyone kills a person, the murderer is to be executed based on the evidence given by witnesses, plural. No one is to be executed based on the evidence given by a single witness.

31 Ana hukna huno vahe'ma ahe fri'nenirera, fruma huno manizankura zagoretira mizaseno omanigahie. Anahukna huta vahe'ma ahe fri'nesirera, ana vahe ahefriho.

You are not to accept payment instead of executing a murderer who has been found guilty—they must be executed.

32 Hagi pristi ne'ma ofri'nenkeno agu'vazi kumapintima atiramino fru huno mani'nakura, zago mizaseno kuma'arega ovugosie.

Also you are not allowed to accept payment for a person who runs to a sanctuary town and permit them to return and live on their own land before the death of the high priest.

33 Hagi e'inama hanageno'a mopatamimo'a havizana osugosie. Na'ankure vahe'ma ahefrigeno korama tagirami zamo'a, mopa eri haviza nehie. Hagi ana nona'a, anama vahe'ma ahe fri'nesia vahe'mofo koramoke'za mopa eri agru hugahie.

Don't pollute the land where you live because bloodshed pollutes the land, and the land where blood is shed can't be purified except by the blood of the one who shed it.

34 Hagi ana'ma umani'naza mopa eri havizana osugahaze. Na'ankure Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na Israeli vahe'mokizmi amu'nompina manigahue.

Don't make the land impure where you live because I live there too. I am the Lord, and I live with the Israelites.”
