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 to Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near 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 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 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 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 Hifototse an-kijoli’ o rova’e eo vaho hitakatse arivo kiho añ’ areare i rovay o tane fiandraza’eo.
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 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 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 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 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 Aa le mitraoke ho rova efapolo-valo’ amby ty hatolo’ areo amo nte-Levio rekets’ o tane fiandraza’eo.
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 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 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 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
10 Misaontsia amo ana’Israeleo, le ano ty hoe: ie mitsake Iardeney mb’an-tane Kanàne mb’eo,
Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye have passed 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 for you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee there, who killeth any person unintentionally.
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 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 Aa le amo rova atolo’ areoo ty hanolora’ areo rovam-pitsolohañe eneñe.
And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for 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 on this side of Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which 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.
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 Aa naho lafae’e ami’ty viñe t’indaty vaho mivetrake indatiy, le mpamono ondaty re, toe ho vonoeñe ty mpamono.
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 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 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 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 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 Toe i mpamale fatey ty hañoho-doza amy mpamonoy; ie mifanojo ama’e le ho vonoe’e.
The avenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
20 Aa ie maniotse aze mafe ami’ ty falai’e aze, ke mivoñoñe aze, he andretsaha’e raha, vaho mate,
But if he shall thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying 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 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 F’ie mandronje am-pifanojeha’e fa tsy am-palaiñañe, ke mametsa-draha ama’e fa tsy am-pivoñonañe,
But if he shall thrust him suddenly without enmity, or shall have cast upon him any thing without laying 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, 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 le ho zakae’ i valobohòkey añivo’ i namonoy naho i mpamale fatey amy fañè rezay.
Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer 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 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 Aa naho eo ty andro añaveloa’ i namonoy alafe’ ty efe’ i rovam-pitsolohañe nivotitsiha’ey,
But if the slayer shall at any time come outside the border of the city of his refuge, where he had 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 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 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 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 Ho fañè naho fepètse ho anahareo izay amo hene tarira’ areo mifandimbeo ndra aia’aia ty imoneña’ areo.
So these things shall be for a statute of judgment to 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;
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 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 satisfaction for the life of a murderer, who is guilty of death: but he shall be surely 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 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 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 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 Aa le ko maniva ty tane’ imoneña’ areo, fa fimoneñako, amy te mitoboke añivo’ o ana’ Israeleo ao, izaho Iehovà.
Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, in which I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
