Oekyuk 35

1 In acn mwesis lun Moab sisken Infacl Jordan tulanang acn Jericho, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,

And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho, saying,

2 “Fahk nu sin mwet Israel lah elos enenu in sang kutu siti in acn ma elos eis lalos nu sin mwet Levi tuh elos in muta we, wi pac acn tupasrpasr ma raunela ac yohk mah we.

Command the children of Israel, that of the inheritance of their possession they give unto the Levites cities to dwell in; and a suburb for the cities round about them shall ye give unto the Levites.

3 Siti inge ac fah ma lun mwet Levi, ac elos fah muta we. Acn ma yohk mah we inge ac fah nien tohf cow ac kain kosro nukewa natulos.

And the cities shall they have to dwell in, and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.

4 Acn in tohf kosro uh ac mutawauk sisken pot lun siti uh fahla yact lumfoko ke siska akosr kewa.

And the suburbs of the cities that ye shall give unto the Levites shall be from the walls of the city outward, a thousand cubits round about.

5 Na ac orala sie acn maspang ma srikasrak kac uh oasr ke sie tausin yact ke siska kewa, ac siti uh ac oan infulwa.

And ye shall measure, without the city, the east side two thousand cubits, and the south side two thousand cubits, and the west side two thousand cubits, and the north side two thousand cubits, and the city shall be in the midst: they shall have this as suburbs of the cities.

6 Kom fah sang onkosr siti nu sin mwet Levi tuh in siti in molela, tuh sie mwet fin uniya sie pac mwet ke ongla ouiya, elan ku in kaing nu we. In weang siti inge, sang pac angngaul luo siti an nu selos,

And [among] the cities that ye shall give unto the Levites [shall be] the six cities of refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither, — and besides them ye shall give forty-two cities:

7 wi acn tupasrpasr ac yohk mah we ma oan raunela. Siti angngaul oalkosr nufon fah ma lun mwet Levi.

all the cities that ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities, they and their suburbs.

8 Pisen siti in acn lun kais sie sruf ma ac itukyang nu sin mwet Levi fah lumweyuk fal nu ke lupan acn lun sruf sac.”

And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have much ye shall take much, and from them that have little ye shall take little; each one according to his inheritance which he will inherit shall give of his cities to the Levites.

9 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

10 elan fahk nu sin mwet Israel: “Pacl se kowos alukela infacl Jordan nu in acn Canaan,

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

11 kowos fah srela kutu siti uh in nien molela, ma sie mwet el ac ku in kaing nu we el fin uniya sie mwet ke el tia oru in oaya.

then ye shall appoint for yourselves cities: cities of refuge shall they be for you; that a manslayer may flee thither, who without intent smiteth a person mortally.

12 Ke el muta in acn se inge, el ac tia sangeng sin sou lun mwet misa sac su suk in foloksak. Mwet se fin tukakyak ke akmas, fah tia anwuki meet liki nununkeyuk el ye mutun mwet uh.

And ye shall have these cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he have stood before the assembly in judgment.

13 Sulela siti in molela onkosr:

And the cities that ye shall give shall be six cities of refuge for you.

14 tolu siti uh in oan kutulap in Infacl Jordan, ac tolu siti fin acn Canaan.

Three cities shall ye give on this side of the Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge.

15 Siti onkosr inge ac fah acn in wikla lun mwet Israel, oayapa mwetsac su mutangan aktuktuk yuruwos uh, ku mwetsac su ac muta inmasrlowos nwe tok. Kutena mwet su uniya mwet ke ongla ouiya, ac ku in kaing nu in sie sin siti inge.

For the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them shall these six cities be a refuge, that one who smiteth a person mortally without intent may flee thither.

16 “Tusruktu sie mwet fin sringil sie mwet ke soko polo osra ac mwet sac misa, el mwet akmas. Sie mwet akmas enenu in anwuki.

And if he have smitten him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall certainly be put to death.

17 Ku kutena mwet su tukya sie mwet ke sie eot inpaol ac mwet sac misa, el mwet akmas. Sie mwet akmas enenu in anwuki.

And if he have smitten him with a stone from the hand, wherewith one may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall certainly be put to death.

18 Ku sie mwet su sringilya siena mwet ke soko mwe anwuk orekla ke sak, ac mwet sac misa, na el sie mwet akmas. Sie mwet akmas enenu in anwuki.

Or if he have smitten him with an instrument of wood, in the hand, wherewith one may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall certainly be put to death;

19 Ma kunen sou se ma fototo emeet nu sin mwet misa sac, in uniya mwet akmas sac. El fin konalak, elan unilya.

the avenger of blood, he shall put the murderer to death; when he meeteth him, he shall put him to death.

20 “Mwet se fin srunga sie mwet ac unilya ke sinukunulla nu ten, ku tungalilya,

And if he thrust at him out of hatred, or hurl at him intentionally, so that he die,

21 ku fiskilya, oasr mwatal ke akmas, ac el ac fah anwuki. Ma kunen sou se ma fototo emeet nu sin mwet misa sac, in uniya mwet akmas sac. El fin konalak, elan unilya.

or from enmity smite him with his hand, so that he die, he that smote him shall certainly be put to death; he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meeteth him. —

22 “Tusruktu fin pa mwet se el sinukunla sie mwet nu ten, ku tungalilya na el misa, a mwet se ma oru ah el tia srungal ku oru in oaya.

But if he have thrust at him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him anything unintentionally,

23 Ku fin pa mwet se el sis eot se tuh uniya mwet se su el tia liye, ac el tia pac mwet lokoalok lal uh, na fuka?

or [have smitten him] with any stone wherewith one may die, without seeing him, and have cast it upon him so that he die, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:

24 Ke ac nununkeyuk lumah ouinge uh, na mwet uh in wi layen lun mwet se ma orala misa sac, ac tia wi sou lun mwet misa sac su suk in foloksak.

then the assembly shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood according to these judgments;

25 Mwet uh in molela mwet se ma akmas liki sou lun mwet misa sac, ac elos fah folokunulla nu in siti in molela se ma el tuh kaingla nu we. El fah muta we nwe ke Mwet Tol Fulat se in pacl sac el misa.

and the assembly shall rescue the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the assembly shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he had fled; and he shall abide in it until the death of the high-priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.

26 Mwet se ma akmas ah fin illa liki siti in molela se ma el kaing nu we,

But if the manslayer shall in any way come outside the limits of the city of his refuge whither he hath fled,

27 ac sou lun mwet misa sac fin konalak ac unilya, na foloksak se inge ac tia oaoa in akmas.

and the avenger of blood find him outside the limits of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the manslayer, there shall be no blood-guiltiness upon him;

28 Mwet se ma akmas el enenu in mutana in siti in molela nwe ke na Mwet Tol Fulat sac misa, na toko el fah ku in folokla nu in acn sel sifacna.

for the manslayer should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high-priest; but after the death of the high-priest he may return into the land of his possession.

29 Ma sap inge ma nu suwos ac fwilin tulik nutuwos yen nukewa kowos muta we.

And this shall be unto you a statute of right throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

30 “Sie mwet fin tukakyak ke akmas, na enenu in oasr mwet loh luo ku pus liki, tuh in ku in koneyukyak lah oasr mwatal, ac fal elan misa. Mwet loh sefanna tiana fal in akpwayeye tukak lun akmas.

Whoever shall smite a person mortally, at the mouth of witnesses shall the murderer be put to death; but one witness shall not testify against a person to cause him to die.

31 Sie mwet akmas enenu in anwuki. El tia ku in kaingkunla mwe kai se inge el finne sang mani in moli.

And ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, who is guilty of death, but he shall certainly be put to death.

32 Mwet se fin kaingla nu in sie siti in molela, nikmet lela nu sel elan sang mani molel in folok nu acn sel meet liki Mwet Tol Fulat el misa.

And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that hath fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.

33 Kowos fin oru lumah se inge, kowos ac akfohkfokyela facl ma kowos muta we uh, mweyen akmas uh el akfohkfokyela acn. Mwet akmas sac fin tia misa, na wangin pac sie inkanek in aknasnasyela acn se ma sie mwet el anwuki we.

And ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are; for blood, it polluteth the land; and there can be no atonement made for the land, for the blood that hath been shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.

34 Nikmet akfohkfokyela facl se ma kowos muta we uh, tuh nga LEUM GOD, ac nga muta inmasrlon mwet Israel.”

And ye shall not defile the land that ye inhabit, in the midst whereof I dwell; for I am Jehovah who dwell in the midst of the children of Israel.
