Nomery 35
1 Le nitsara amy Mosè t’Iehovà a montombei’ i Moabe añ’ olo’ Iardeney tandrife Ierikò eo, ami’ty hoe:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho, saying,
2 Lilio o ana’ Israeleo ty hanolotse rova amo nte-Levio himoneña’e boak’ amo lova fanaña’ iareoo, vaho toloro tane mañohoke o rova’ iareoo ho fiandraza’ o nte-Levio.
Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites from the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and an open space for the cities round about them shall ye give [also] unto the Levites.
3 Ho fimoneña’ iareo o rovao naho ho fiandrazañe o añombe’eo naho o mpirai-lia’eo vaho o hare’ iareo iabio i tane mañohokey.
And the cities shall serve them to dwell in; and their open spaces shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their requirements.
4 Hifototse an-kijoli’ o rova’e eo vaho hitakatse arivo kiho añ’ areare i rovay o tane fiandraza’eo.
And the open spaces of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
5 Le ho zehè’ areo alafe’ o rovao ty ro’arivo kiho ami’ty ila’e atiñanañe, le ro’arivo kiho ami’ty ila’e atimo, le ro’arivo kiho ami’ty lafe’e ahandrefañe, le ro’arivo kiho an-dafe’e avaratse. Añivo’e ao i rovay. Izay ty ho fanaña’ iareo ho fiandraza’ i rovay.
And ye shall measure from without 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, with the city in the midst: this shall be to them the open spaces of the cities.
6 Le ho rovam-pitsolohañe o rova eneñe hatolo’ areo amo nte-Levioo, ie henga’ areo ho fitribahan-dai’ ze mamono ondaty, mandikoatse izay le ho tolora’ areo rova efapolo-ro’amby iereo.
And the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall appoint that the manslayer may flee thither; and in addition to them shall ye give forty and two cities.
7 Aa le mitraoke ho rova efapolo-valo’ amby ty hatolo’ areo amo nte-Levio rekets’ o tane fiandraza’eo.
All the cities which ye shall [thus] give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities, they with their open spaces.
8 Le boak’ ami’ty fanaña’ o ana’ Israeleo ty hanolora’o i rova rey, hanolotse maro ty fifokoañe bey, naho tsy ampeampe ka ty boak’ ami’ty kede. Songa hanolotse rova amo nte-Levio boak’ amo rova’eo ty amy habei’ i lova ho rambese’ey.
And the cities which ye shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the tribe that hath many shall ye give many; but from the one that hath few shall ye give few: every one according to its inheritance which it may inherit shall give of its cities unto the Levites.
9 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses. saying,
10 Misaontsia amo ana’Israeleo, le ano ty hoe: ie mitsake Iardeney mb’an-tane Kanàne mb’eo,
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye have passed over the Jordan into the land of Canaan:
11 le mijoboña rova ho rovam-pitsolohañe, hivoratsaha’ ty namono ondaty tsy an-tsatri’e.
Then ye shall appoint unto yourselves proper cities, that they be cities of refuge for you; and thither shall flee the manslayer who killeth any person at unawares.
12 Rova ho fitsolohañe, hipalira’ areo ami’ty mpamale fate, soa tsy hohofan-doza ty namono ondaty ampara’ t’ie miatre-jaka añatrefa’ i valobohòkey.
And these cities shall be unto you for a refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he have stood before the congregation for trial.
13 Aa le amo rova atolo’ areoo ty hanolora’ areo rovam-pitsolohañe eneñe.
And the cities which ye shall give, shall be six cities of refuge unto you;
14 Ho tolora’ areo rova telo ty alafe’ Iardeney atoy naho ho tolora’ areo rova telo ty an-tane Kanàne ao ho rovam-pitsolohañe.
Three of these cities shall ye give on this side of the Jordan, and the three other cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan: cities of refuge shall they be.
15 Ho rovam-pitsoloha’ o ana’ Israeleo i rova eneñe rey, naho ho a o ambahinio naho o renetane añivo’ iereoo, soa t’ie ty hivongarita’ ze mamono ondaty tsy an-tsatri’e.
For the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them, shall these six cities be for a refuge: that every one may flee thither that killeth any person at unawares.
16 Aa naho lafae’e ami’ty viñe t’indaty vaho mivetrake indatiy, le mpamono ondaty re, toe ho vonoeñe ty mpamono.
And if he have smitten him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
17 Aa naho fofohe’e ami’ty vato am-pità’eo, ze mahavetrak’ ondaty vaho mihomake indatiy le mpamono re; toe havetrake i mpamonoy.
And if he have smitten him with a stone which one can take in the hand, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
18 Aa ie vinango’e an-kataem-pialiañe am-pità’e ao, ze mahavetrak’ ondaty, naho mate indatiy, le mpamono re, vaho toe ho vonoeñe i mpamonoy.
Or if he have smitten him with an article of wood, which one can take in the hand, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
19 Toe i mpamale fatey ty hañoho-doza amy mpamonoy; ie mifanojo ama’e le ho vonoe’e.
The avenger of the blood himself shall slay the murderer; when he meeteth him, shall he slay him.
20 Aa ie maniotse aze mafe ami’ ty falai’e aze, ke mivoñoñe aze, he andretsaha’e raha, vaho mate,
And if he push against him out of hatred, or he have hurled at him [any thing] by lying in wait, that he die;
21 he ami’ty fandrafea’e ro mampitrabotrabok’ am-pità’e hampivetrak’ aze, le toe ho vonoeñe i nampitrabotrabokey. Mpamono re, ho vonoe’ ty mpamale fate te ifanojoa’e.
Or if in enmity he have smitten him with his hand, that he died, he that smote him shall surely be put to death; [for] he is a murderer: the avenger of the blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth with him.
22 F’ie mandronje am-pifanojeha’e fa tsy am-palaiñañe, ke mametsa-draha ama’e fa tsy am-pivoñonañe,
But if he have pushed against him accidentally without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without lying in wait,
23 hera am-bato mete mahafate ondaty, ie ahiriri’e mb’eo fe tsy nioni’e indatiy, le mate indatiy, ie tsy nirafelahi’e vaho tsy nikilily te hañe-doza ama’e,
Or with any stone wherewith a man may die, without seeing him, and he have let it fall upon him that he died; whereas he was not his enemy, and did not seek his harm:
24 le ho zakae’ i valobohòkey añivo’ i namonoy naho i mpamale fatey amy fañè rezay.
Then shall the congregation judge between the slayer and the avenger of the blood according to these institutions;
25 Aa le havotso’ i valobohòkey boak’ am-pità’ i mpamale fatey i namono ondatiy, le hampolie’ i valobohòkey mb’ amy rova fitsolohañe nivoratsaha’ey, ao ty hipalira’e am-para’ te vilasy ty mpisorom-bei’ norizañe amy menake miavakey.
And the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of the blood, and the congregation 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 hath been anointed with the holy oil.
26 Aa naho eo ty andro añaveloa’ i namonoy alafe’ ty efe’ i rovam-pitsolohañe nivotitsiha’ey,
But if the manslayer should at any time pass the boundary of the city of his refuge, whither he may have fled;
27 le mahaisak’ aze alafe’ ty efe’ i rovam-pitsolohañey i mpamale fatey, vaho vonoe’ i mpamale fatey, le tsy hanan-tahiñe amy lio’ey re,
And the avenger of the blood should find him beyond the boundary of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of the blood should kill the manslayer: he shall not be guilty of blood;
28 amy t’ie tsy mete tsy midok’ am-po’ i rovam-pitsolohañey am-para’ te mihomake ty mpisorom-bey, le ie vilasy i mpisorom-beiy vaho mete mimpoly an-tanem-panaña’e añe i namonoy.
Because in the city of his refuge shall be remain until the death of the high-priest; but after the death of the high-priest the manslayer may return unto the land of his possession.
29 Ho fañè naho fepètse ho anahareo izay amo hene tarira’ areo mifandimbeo ndra aia’aia ty imoneña’ areo.
And these things shall be unto you for a statute of justice throughout your generations, in all your dwellings.
30 Ze mamono ondaty, le ho vonoeñe i mpamonoy ami’ty taro’ o nahaisakeo; fa tsy azo amonoañe ondaty ami’ty taro’ ondaty raike;
Whoever it be that killeth a person, according to the testimony of witnesses shall the murderer be put to death; but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.
31 vaho tsy azo jebañeñe ty fiai’ ondaty namono, ie fa voa zaka ami’ ty vono-ondaty; toe tsy mahai-tsy vonoeñe ty mpamono ondaty.
Moreover ye shall take no redemption money for the person of a murderer, who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death.
32 Le tsy azo vilieñ’ ay t’indaty nivoratsake mb’an-drovam-pitsolohañe mb’eo, hampipoliañe aze mb’an-tane’e añe aolo’ ty havilasi’ i Mpisorom-beiy.
And ye shall take no redemption money 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 Ko mandeotse ty tanen’ akiba’ areo; fa mandeotse tane ty lio, vaho tsy mete mijeba i taney ami’ty lio nadoañe ama’e naho tsy ami’ ty lio’ i nampidoañe azey.
And ye shall not defile the land wherein ye are; for the blood it is which defileth the land: and no atonement can be made unto the land for the blood which hath been shed therein, except through the blood of him that hath shed it.
34 Aa le ko maniva ty tane’ imoneña’ areo, fa fimoneñako, amy te mitoboke añivo’ o ana’ Israeleo ao, izaho Iehovà.
And ye shall not render unclean the land which ye inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell; for I the Lord dwell in the midst of the children of Israel.
