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 spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at 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 of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and suburbs for the cities round about them shall ye give 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 they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and for all their beasts.
4 Hifototse an-kijoli’ o rova’e eo vaho hitakatse arivo kiho añ’ areare i rovay o tane fiandraza’eo.
And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be 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 without the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the suburbs 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, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall give for the manslayer to flee thither: and beside them ye shall 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 give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them [shall ye give] with their suburbs.
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 concerning the cities which ye shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many ye shall take many; and from the few ye shall take few: every one according to his inheritance which he inheriteth shall give of his cities unto the Levites.
9 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And the LORD spake 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 pass over 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 you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the manslayer which killeth any person unwittingly may flee thither.
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 the cities shall be unto you for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation for judgment.
13 Aa le amo rova atolo’ areoo ty hanolora’ areo rovam-pitsolohañe eneñe.
And the cities which ye shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge.
14 Ho tolora’ areo rova telo ty alafe’ Iardeney atoy naho ho tolora’ areo rova telo ty an-tane Kanàne ao ho rovam-pitsolohañe.
Ye shall give three cities beyond Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge.
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 refuge: that every one that killeth any person unwittingly may flee thither.
16 Aa naho lafae’e ami’ty viñe t’indaty vaho mivetrake indatiy, le mpamono ondaty re, toe ho vonoeñe ty mpamono.
But if he smote him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a manslayer: the manslayer 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 smote him with a stone in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a manslayer: the manslayer 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 smote him with a weapon of wood in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a manslayer: the manslayer 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 blood shall himself put the manslayer to death: when he meeteth him, he shall put him to death.
20 Aa ie maniotse aze mafe ami’ ty falai’e aze, ke mivoñoñe aze, he andretsaha’e raha, vaho mate,
And if he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died;
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 in enmity smote him with his hand, that he died: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; he is a manslayer: the avenger of blood shall put the manslayer to death, when he meeteth him.
22 F’ie mandronje am-pifanojeha’e fa tsy am-palaiñañe, ke mametsa-draha ama’e fa tsy am-pivoñonañe,
But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled 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, whereby a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
24 le ho zakae’ i valobohòkey añivo’ i namonoy naho i mpamale fatey amy fañè rezay.
then the congregation shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood according to these judgments:
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 blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, which was 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 shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, whither he fleeth;
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 blood find him without the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood slay 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 he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the manslayer shall return into 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 for a statute of judgment unto you 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;
Whoso killeth any person, the manslayer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person that he 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 ransom for the life of a manslayer, which 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 ransom for him that is fled to his city of 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.
So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood, it polluteth the land: and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
34 Aa le ko maniva ty tane’ imoneña’ areo, fa fimoneñako, amy te mitoboke añivo’ o ana’ Israeleo ao, izaho Iehovà.
And thou shalt not defile 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.
