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,
Yahweh told this to Moses/me [while the Israeli people were] on the plain in the Moab region near the Jordan [River], across from Jericho:
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.
“Tell the Israeli people that from the land that they will receive, they must give to the descendants of Levi some cities in which they can live. They must also give them some land around these cities.
3 Oo magaalooyinka iyagaa lahaanayaan inay degaan, agagaarkooduna waxay u ahaan doonaan lo'dooda, iyo alaabtooda, iyo xoolahooda oo dhan.
Those will be for the descendants of Levi to live in, and around the cities will be land for their cattle and flocks of sheep and goats and other animals.
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 land that you give them for their animals must extend out for (1,500 feet/450 meters) from the walls of the cities.
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.
Also measure (3,000 feet/900 meters) in each direction out from the walls of each city. That additional land will be land for their animals outside the walls of the cities.”
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 cities that you give to the descendants of Levi will be cities to which people [can run] to be safe. If someone [accidentally] kills someone else, the one who killed that person may run to one of those cities to be safe.
7 Oo magaalooyinka aad reer Laawi siin doontaan oo dhammu waxay ahaan doonaan siddeed iyo afartan magaalo, oo waxaad siin doontaan iyaga iyo agagaarkoodaba.
You must also give to the descendants of Levi 42 other cities and the land around those cities, for their animals,
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 Israeli tribes that have the most people must give them more cities than the tribes that have fewer people give. Each tribe must give some of its cities to the descendants of Levi, but the tribes that have more land must give more cities, and the tribes that have less land will give fewer cities.”
9 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
10 Reer binu Israa'iil la hadal, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Markaad Webi Urdun dhaaftaan oo aad gashaan dalka Kancaan,
“Tell this to the Israeli people: When you cross the Jordan [River] and enter the Canaan [region],
11 waa inaad doorataan magaalooyin idiin ahaada magaalooyin aad magan gashaan, si uu gacankudhiigluhu qof kama' u dilaa halkaas ugu cararo.
you must choose some cities to which people can run to be safe/protected. If someone kills another person (accidentally/without planning to do that), the one who killed that person may run to one of those cities and be safe.
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.
One of the relatives of the person who was killed may think he must avenge his relative’s death [by killing the murderer]. But in that city, the killer will be safe [because the people in that city would kill those relatives if they tried to get revenge there]. The man who killed someone accidentally [must] be put on trial in a court.
13 Oo magaalooyinka aad bixin doontaan waxay idiin ahaan doonaan lix magaalo oo magangal ah.
You must set apart six cities to be cities to which someone who killed another person accidentally may run and be safe.
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.
There must be three of those cities on the east side of the Jordan [River] and three that will be [on the west side], in the Canaan region.
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.
Those six cities will be cities where Israeli people may run to and be safe, and where foreigners and other people who are living among you can also run to and be safe. Any of those people who accidentally kills someone may run to one of those cities [and be safe/protected 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 [you must consider that] anyone who kills another person with an iron weapon or with a big rock or with a piece of wood, is a murderer, and the one who killed the other person 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.
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.
19 Oo aardoonka dhiigga doonayaa qudhiisu ha dilo gacankudhiiglaha. Markuu isaga helo ha dilo.
A relative of the person who was murdered must be the one who executes the murderer as soon as he finds him.
20 Oo hadduu nacayb aawadiis u riixdo, ama intuu u gabbado uu wax ku tuuro, oo uu markaas dhinto,
If someone shoves another person [over a cliff] or throws something at another person
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 hits that person with his hand/fist and causes that person to die, if he did it because he hated that person, then you must consider that he is a murderer, and must be executed. A relative of the person who was killed must be the one who executes the murderer as soon as he finds him.
22 Laakiinse hadduu kama' u riixo isagoo aan cadownimo ku jirin, amase uu wax ku tuuro isagoo aan u gabban,
“But someone might accidentally shove someone else, or accidentally throw something at another person and hit him, not because he hates that person.
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 he might drop a rock on someone that he did not see. If the one who does that does not plan to hurt anyone and does not hate the person that was killed,
24 markaas kii wax dilay iyo kan ah aardoonka dhiigga doonayo, shirku waa inuu ugu kala garsooraa sida xukummadanu yihiin.
the people of that city must decide whether the relative of the dead person [has the right to get revenge], or whether the one who killed the other person [truly did it (accidentally/without planning to do it)].
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.
[If they decide that the killer planned to kill the other person, they must not allow him to stay in their city. But if they decide that it was done accidentally], they must protect the killer from being killed by the dead person’s relative. They must send the killer to one of the cities where he will be safe/protected, and allow him to stay there until the Supreme Priest dies. [After that, the killer may go back to his home, because the dead person’s relative no longer has the right to get revenge].
26 Laakiinse gacankudhiigluhu mar kasta ha ahaatee hadduu ka gudbo soohdinta magaaladiisii uu magangalay oo uu ku cararay,
“But [while the Supreme Priest is still living], the person who is in that safe city must not leave that city.
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,
If he goes outside the city, and if a relative of the dead person finds him, that relative is permitted to kill that person, [and people will not consider that the relative is 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.
The killer must stay in that city where he will be safe/protected until the Supreme Priest dies. [He will be safe from revenge after that, because the death of the Supreme Priest will be considered to be a sacrifice to atone for that murder]. After that, the killer may return to his home.
29 Oo waxyaalahanu waa inay qaynuun xukun ah degmooyinkiinna oo dhan idiinku ahaadaan ab ka abkiin.
“You must always obey those regulations, 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 someone [is accused of] killing another person, the one who is accused may be executed only if there are people who saw him do it. There must be more than one witness; no one is permitted to be executed if there was only one (witness/person who saw him do it).
31 Oo weliba waa inaydaan innaba furan nafta gacankudhiigle dhimasho lagu xukumay, laakiinse hubaal waa in la dilaa.
“If there is a murderer who truly should be executed, do not [spare his life by] accepting (a ransom/money for him not to be killed). He 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.
“If someone has run to a city where he will be safe/protected, do not allow him to give you money in order that you will permit him to return to his home before the Supreme Priest dies.
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.
“You must execute people who truly murder others. If you did not do that, you would be causing the people who live in the land to become unacceptable to me. Anyone who deliberately kills an innocent person must be executed.
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.
I am Yahweh, and I live among you Israelis, so do not spoil/pollute the land by allowing people to murder others without being punished.”
