Tirintii 35

1 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse kula hadlay bannaankii Moo'aab oo Webi Urdun u dhowaa ee Yerixoo ka soo hor jeeday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

The Lord spoke to Moses on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan opposite Jericho. He told him,

2 Waxaad reer binu Israa'iil ku amartaa inay dhaxalkooda hantida ah reer Laawi ka siiyaan magaalooyin ay degaan, oo magaalooyinkaas agagaarkooda ku wareegsanna reer Laawi siiya.

“Order the Israelites to provide from their land allocation towns for the Levites to live in and pastures around the towns.

3 Oo magaalooyinka iyagaa lahaanayaan inay degaan, agagaarkooduna waxay u ahaan doonaan lo'dooda, iyo alaabtooda, iyo xoolahooda oo dhan.

The towns are for them to live in, and the pastures will be for their herds and their flocks—for all their livestock.

4 Oo magaalooyinka aad reer Laawi siin doontaan agagaarkooda ha laga bilaabo magaalo kasta derbigeeda, oo dibadda ha uga baxo kun dhudhun oo hareeraheeda ku wareegsan ah.

The pastures around the towns you give to the Levites are to extend out from the wall a thousand cubits on all sides.

5 Oo magaalada dibaddeeda waa inaad ka qiyaastaan xagga bari laba kun oo dhudhun, dhanka koonfureedna waa inaad ka qiyaastaan laba kun oo dhudhun, dhanka galbeedna waa inaad ka qiyaastaan laba kun oo dhudhun, dhanka woqooyina waa inaad ka qiyaastaan laba kun oo dhudhun, oo magaaladuna dhexda ha ahaato. Oo intaasaa iyaga u ahaan doonta agagaarka magaalooyinka.

Measure two thousand cubits outside the town on the east, two thousand on the south, two thousand on the west, and two thousand on the north, with the town in the middle. These areas will be their pastures around the towns.

6 Oo magaalooyinka aad reer Laawi siin doontaan waxay ahaan doonaan lixda magaalo oo magangalka ah oo aad siin doontaan si uu gacankudhiigluhu ugu cararo, oo kuwaas mooyaane waxaad kaloo iyaga siisaan laba iyo afartan magaalo.

Six of the towns you give the Levites are to be sanctuary towns, where a person who kills someone can run for protection. As well as these towns, give the Levites forty-two more.

7 Oo magaalooyinka aad reer Laawi siin doontaan oo dhammu waxay ahaan doonaan siddeed iyo afartan magaalo, oo waxaad siin doontaan iyaga iyo agagaarkoodaba.

The total number of towns you are to give the Levites is forty-eight, along with their pastures.

8 Oo waxa ku saabsan magaalooyinka aad reer Laawi hantida uga siin doontaan reer binu Israa'iil waa sidan, waa inaad kuwii badan magaalooyin badan ka qaaddaan, kuwii yarna waa inaad magaalooyin yar ka qaaddaan, oo mid waluba dhaxalkiisii uu dhaxlay magaalooyinkiisa reer Laawi wax ha ka siiyo.

The towns that you allocate to be given to the Levites from the territory of the Israelites will be more from a larger tribe and less from a smaller one. The number will be in proportion to the size of the land allocation of each tribe.”

9 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

The Lord told Moses,

10 Reer binu Israa'iil la hadal, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Markaad Webi Urdun dhaaftaan oo aad gashaan dalka Kancaan,

“Tell the Israelites: ‘When you cross over the Jordan into Canaan,

11 waa inaad doorataan magaalooyin idiin ahaada magaalooyin aad magan gashaan, si uu gacankudhiigluhu qof kama' u dilaa halkaas ugu cararo.

choose towns as your sanctuary towns, so a person who kills someone by mistake may run there.

12 Oo magaalooyinkaasu waxay idiin ahaan doonaan meel aad ka magan gashaan kan aardoonka ah, si uusan gacankudhiigluhu u dhiman intuusan shirka hortiisa xukun isu soo taagin.

These towns will be for you places of sanctuary from those seeking revenge, so that the killer will not die until they are tried in court.

13 Oo magaalooyinka aad bixin doontaan waxay idiin ahaan doonaan lix magaalo oo magangal ah.

The towns you choose will be your six sanctuary towns.

14 Oo Webi Urdun shishadiisa waa inaad ka bixisaan saddex magaalo, dalka Kancaanna waa inaad ka bixisaan saddex magaalo, oo iyagu waa inay ahaadaan magaalooyin magangal ah.

Choose three cities on the other side of the Jordan and three in Canaan as cities of refuge.

15 Oo lixdaas magaalo waxaa magangeli doona reer binu Israa'iil iyo shisheeyaha iyo qariibka iyaga dhex deggan, si uu ku alla kii qof kama' u dilaa ugu cararo.

These six cities will be places of sanctuary for the Israelites and for foreigners or settlers among them, so that anyone who kills a person by mistake may run there.

16 Laakiinse hadduu wax bir ah ku dhufto, oo uu sidaas ku dhinto, markaas isagu waa gacankudhiigle, oo gacankudhiiglaha hubaal waa in la dilaa.

But if anyone deliberately hits someone with something made of iron and kills them, that person is a murderer and must be executed.

17 Oo hadduu ku dhufto dhagax uu gacanta ku haysto oo qof u dhiman karo, oo uu sidaas ku dhinto, markaas isagu waa gacankudhiigle, oo gacankudhiiglaha hubaal waa in la dilaa.

If anyone picks up something made of stone that could be used as a weapon and hits someone with it, and kills them, that person is a murderer and must be executed.

18 Amase hadduu ku dhufto hub qori ah oo uu gacanta ku haysto oo qof u dhiman karo, oo uu sidaas ku dhinto, markaas isagu waa gacankudhiigle, oo gacankudhiiglaha hubaal waa in la dilaa.

If anyone picks up something made of wood that could be used as a weapon and hits someone with it, and kills them, that person is a murderer and must be executed.

19 Oo aardoonka dhiigga doonayaa qudhiisu ha dilo gacankudhiiglaha. Markuu isaga helo ha dilo.

The avenger is to execute the murderer. When he finds the murderer, he is to kill him.

20 Oo hadduu nacayb aawadiis u riixdo, ama intuu u gabbado uu wax ku tuuro, oo uu markaas dhinto,

Similarly, if anyone hates someone and knocks them down or deliberately throws something at them, and they're killed;

21 amase hadduu cadownimo aawadeed gacanta ugu dhufto, oo uu sidaas ku dhinto, kii wax ku dhuftay hubaal waa in la dilaa, waayo, isagu waa gacankudhiigle, oo aardoonka dhiigga doonayaa gacankudhiiglaha ha dilo markuu helo.

or if someone hits another with his hand and they die, the one who hit him must be executed because he is a murderer. When the avenger finds the murderer, he is to kill him.

22 Laakiinse hadduu kama' u riixo isagoo aan cadownimo ku jirin, amase uu wax ku tuuro isagoo aan u gabban,

But if anyone knocks someone else down without meaning to and without hating them, or throws something at them not meaning to hurt them,

23 amase hadduu ku dhufto dhagax qof u dhiman karo, oo isagoo aan arkayn uu ku tuuro, oo uu sidaas ku dhinto, oo hadduusan cadowgiis ahayn ama uusan waxyeelladiisa doondoonayn,

or carelessly drops a heavy stone that kills them, but not as an enemy or intending to harm them,

24 markaas kii wax dilay iyo kan ah aardoonka dhiigga doonayo, shirku waa inuu ugu kala garsooraa sida xukummadanu yihiin.

then the community must judge between the killer and the avenger following these regulations.

25 Oo shirku waa inuu gacankudhiiglaha ka samatabbixiyaa gacanta kan ah aardoonka dhiigga doonayo, oo shirku waa inuu isaga ku celiyaa magaaladiisii uu magangalay, oo uu ku cararay, oo isagu waa inuu halkaas degganaado jeer uu dhinto wadaadka sare oo lagu subkay saliiddii quduuska ahayd.

The court is to protect the killer from being attacked by the avenger and must return him to the sanctuary town that he ran to, and he must stay there until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with holy oil.

26 Laakiinse gacankudhiigluhu mar kasta ha ahaatee hadduu ka gudbo soohdinta magaaladiisii uu magangalay oo uu ku cararay,

But if the killer ever leaves the limits of sanctuary town where they ran to,

27 oo markaas kii ahaa aardoonka dhiigga doonayo uu ka helo meel dibadda ka ah soohdinta magaaladiisii uu magangalay, kolkaas kii ahaa aardoonka dhiigga doonayo hadduu gacankudhiiglaha dilo, isagu ma ahaan doono mid dhiig qaba,

and the avenger finds him them outside his sanctuary town and kills him, then the avenger will not be guilty of murder,

28 waayo, waxaa isaga waajib ku ahaa inuu iska joogo magaaladiisii uu magangalay ilamaa uu wadaadka sare dhinto, laakiinse markuu wadaadka sare dhinto gacankudhiigluhu waa inuu markaas dabadeed ku noqdo dalkiisii hantida u ahaa.

because the killer has to stay in his sanctuary town until the death of the high priest. Only after the death of the high priest are they allowed to return to the land they own.

29 Oo waxyaalahanu waa inay qaynuun xukun ah degmooyinkiinna oo dhan idiinku ahaadaan ab ka abkiin.

These regulations apply to all future generations wherever you live.

30 Ku alla kii qof dila, gacankudhiiglaha waa in la dilaa markii lagu marag furo, laakiinse qofnaba yaan lagu dilin markhaati keliya maragfurkiis.

If anyone kills a person, the murderer is to be executed based on the evidence given by witnesses, plural. No one is to be executed based on the evidence given by a single witness.

31 Oo weliba waa inaydaan innaba furan nafta gacankudhiigle dhimasho lagu xukumay, laakiinse hubaal waa in la dilaa.

You are not to accept payment instead of executing a murderer who has been found guilty—they must be executed.

32 Oo weliba waa inaydaan furan kii ku cararay magaaladiisa magangalka ah, si uu ugu noqdo oo uu u dego dalkiisa ilamaa uu wadaadka sare dhinto.

Also you are not allowed to accept payment for a person who runs to a sanctuary town and permit them to return and live on their own land before the death of the high priest.

33 Dalka aad deggan tihiin waa inaydaan nijaasayn, waayo, dhiigu dalka waa nijaaseeyaa, oo dalka dhiiggii lagu dhex daadshay wax loogu kafaaro gudi karo lama arko, dhiigga kii daadshay mooyaane.

Don't pollute the land where you live because bloodshed pollutes the land, and the land where blood is shed can't be purified except by the blood of the one who shed it.

34 Oo waa inaydaan nijaasayn dalka aad dhex deggan tihiin, oo anna aan dhexdiisa degganahay, waayo, aniga Rabbiga ahu waxaan dhex degganahay reer binu Israa'iil.

Don't make the land impure where you live because I live there too. I am the Lord, and I live with the Israelites.”
