Oekyuk 35

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

And the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near 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 they give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also to the Levites common lands for the cities around them.

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 they shall have the cities to dwell in; and the common lands of them 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 common lands of the cities, which ye shall give to the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits on all sides.

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 from outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the common lands 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 which ye shall give to the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee there: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.

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

So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their common lands.

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 many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities to the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.

9 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

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

Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye have passed over 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 you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee there, who killeth any person unintentionally.

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 they shall be to you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer may not die, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.

13 Sulela siti in molela onkosr:

And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.

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

Ye shall give three cities on this side of Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which 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.

These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unintentionally may flee there.

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 shall smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he shall die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely 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 shall smite him by throwing a stone, by which he may die, and he shall die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely 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 shall smite him with an hand weapon of wood, by which he may die, and he shall die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely 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 himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.

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

But if he shall thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying in wait, 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 in enmity shall smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall slay the murderer, 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 shall thrust him suddenly without enmity, or shall have cast upon him any thing without laying in wait,

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 with any stone, by which a man may die, seeing him not, and shall cast it upon him, that he die, and 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 congregation shall judge between the slayer 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 congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, where he had fled: and he shall abide in it to 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 slayer shall at any time come outside the border of the city of his refuge, where he had 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 borders of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood shall kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:

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.

Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.

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

So these things shall be for a statute of judgment to you 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 killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any 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.

Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, who is guilty of death: but he shall be surely 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.

So ye shall not pollute the land in which ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed in it, 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.”

Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, in which I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
