Numbers 35
1 Lórí pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Moabu ní Jordani tí ó rékọjá láti Jeriko, Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
And the Lord spoke these things also to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, over against Jericho:
2 “Pàṣẹ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli láti fún àwọn Lefi ní ilẹ̀ láti gbé lára ogún tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yóò jogún. Kí ẹ sì fún wọn ní ilẹ̀ lára pápá oko tútù, káàkiri ìlú.
Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites out of their possessions,
3 Nígbà náà, wọn yóò ní ìlú tí wọn yóò gbé àti ilẹ̀ pápá oko tútù fún ẹran ọ̀sìn, ọ̀wọ́ ẹran pẹ̀lú gbogbo ìní wọn.
Cities to dwell in, and their suburbs round about: that they may abide in the towns, and the suburbs may be for their cattle and beasts:
4 “Ilẹ̀ pápá oko tútù káàkiri ìlú tí ẹ ó fi fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi, wíwọ̀n rẹ̀ yóò jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún ìgbọ̀nwọ́ (1,500 ẹsẹ̀ bàtà) láti ògiri ìlú náà.
Which suburbs shall reach from the walls of the cities outward, a thousand paces on every side:
5 Lẹ́yìn ìlú náà, wọn ẹgbẹ̀rún méjì ìgbọ̀nwọ́ lápá ibi ìhà ìlà-oòrùn, ẹgbẹ̀rún méjì ẹsẹ̀ bàtà ní ìhà gúúsù, ẹgbẹ̀rún méjì ní ìhà ìwọ̀-oòrùn àti ẹgbẹ̀rún méjì ní ìhà àríwá, kí ìlú náà sì wà ní àárín. Wọn yóò ní agbègbè yìí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ilẹ̀ pápá oko tútù fún ìlú náà.
Toward the east shall be two thousand cubits: and toward the south in like manner shall be two thousand cubits: toward the sea also, which looketh to the west, shall be the same extent: and the north side shall be bounded with the like limits. And the cities shall be in the midst, and the suburbs without.
6 “Mẹ́fà lára ìlú tí ẹ fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi yóò jẹ́ ìlú ààbò, tí ẹni tí ó bá pa ènìyàn yóò sá sí. Ní àfikún, ẹ fún wọn ní méjìlélógójì ìlú sí i.
And among the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, six shall be separated for refuge to fugitives, that he who hath shed blood may flee to them: and besides these there shall be other forty-two cities,
7 Ní gbogbo rẹ̀, kí ẹ fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi ní méjìdínláàádọ́ta ìlú lápapọ̀ pẹ̀lú ilẹ̀ pápá oko tútù wọn.
That is, in all forty-eight with their suburbs.
8 Ìlú tí ẹ fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi láti ara ilẹ̀ tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jogún, olúkúlùkù kí ó fi nínú ìlú rẹ̀ fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ilẹ̀ ìní rẹ̀ tí ó ní. Gba púpọ̀ lọ́wọ́ ẹ̀yà tí ó ní púpọ̀ àti díẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ ẹ̀yà tí ó ní díẹ̀.”
And of these cities which shall be given out of the possessions of the children of Israel, from them that have more, more shall be taken: and from them that have less, fewer. Each shall give towns to the Levites according to the extent of their inheritance.
9 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
The Lord said to Moses:
10 “Sọ̀rọ̀ sí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, kí o sì sọ fún wọn: ‘Nígbà tí ẹ bá rékọjá odò Jordani sí Kenaani,
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have passed over the Jordan into the land of Chanaan,
11 yan àwọn ìlú kan láti jẹ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlú ààbò fún yín, kí apani tó pa ènìyàn ní àìmọ̀ máa sálọ síbẹ̀.
Determine what cities shall be for the refuge of fugitives, who have shed blood against their will.
12 Wọn yóò jẹ́ ibi ìsásí kúrò lọ́wọ́ olùgbẹ̀san, kí ẹni tí a fi ẹ̀sùn ìpànìyàn kàn má ba à kú kí ó tó dúró níwájú àwọn ìjọ àwọn ènìyàn ní ìdájọ́.
And when the fugitive shall be in them, the kinsman of him that is slain may not have power to kill him, until he stand before the multitude, and his cause be judged.
13 Mẹ́fà nínú ìlú tí ẹ ó fi fún wọn yóò jẹ́ ìlú ààbò fún yín.
And of those cities, that are separated for the refuge of fugitives,
14 Yan ìlú mẹ́ta ní ìhà ti Jordani, kí ẹ sì yan ìlú mẹ́ta ní ìhà Kenaani tí yóò máa jẹ́ ìlú ìsásí.
Three shall be beyond the Jordan, and three in the land of Chanaan,
15 Ìlú mẹ́fà yìí yóò jẹ́ ìlú ìsásí fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, fún àjèjì àti ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ń gbé láàrín wọn, kí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá pa ènìyàn ní àìmọ̀ sálọ síbẹ̀.
As well for the children of Israel as for strangers and sojourners, that he may flee to them, who hath shed blood against his will.
16 “‘Bí ọkùnrin kan bá fi ohun èlò irin lu ènìyàn tí ó kú, apànìyàn ni, pípa ni a ó pa, apànìyàn náà.
If any man strike with iron, and he die that was struck: he shall be guilty of murder, and he himself shall die.
17 Tàbí tí ènìyàn bá mú òkúta tí ó lè pa ènìyàn lọ́wọ́ tí ó sì fi lu ènìyàn, tí ó sì kú, apànìyàn ni, pípa ni a ó pa apànìyàn náà.
If he throw a stone, and he that is struck die: he shall be punished in the same manner.
18 Tàbí tí ènìyàn bá mú ohun èlò igi ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ tí ó sì lẹ̀ ẹ́ pa ènìyàn, tí ó sì fi lu ènìyàn, tí ó sì kú, apànìyàn ni; pípa ní a ó pa apànìyàn náà.
If he that is struck with wood die: he shall be revenged by the blood of him that struck him.
19 Olùgbẹ̀san ẹ̀jẹ̀ yóò pa apànìyàn náà; tí ó bá bá a, yóò pa á.
The kinsman of him that was slain, shall kill the murderer: as soon as he apprehendeth him, he shall kill him.
20 Tí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ń yan odì pẹ̀lú ìríra tí ẹlòmíràn tàbí ju nǹkan sí i pẹ̀lú èrò, tí ó sì kú.
If through hatred any one push a man, or fling any thing at him with ill design:
21 Tàbí pẹ̀lú ìjà gbangba lù ú pẹ̀lú ìkùùkuu tí ó sì kú, pípa ni a ó pa ẹni bẹ́ẹ̀; apànìyàn ni. Olùgbẹ̀san ẹ̀jẹ̀ yóò pa apànìyàn náà tí ó bá bá a.
Or being his enemy, strike; him with his hand, and he die: the striker shall be guilty of murder: the kinsman of him that was slain as soon as he findeth him, shall kill him.
22 “‘Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó bá fi nǹkan gún un lójijì láìṣọ̀ta, tàbí tí ó sọ ohunkóhun lù ú láìmọ̀-ọ́n-mọ̀ ṣe
But if by chance medley, and without hatred,
23 tàbí, láìri, ju òkúta sí tí ó lè pa á, tí ó sì kú, nígbà tí kì í ṣe ọ̀tá rẹ̀, láti ṣe é léṣe.
And enmity, he do any of these things,
24 Àwọn àpéjọ gbọdọ̀ dájọ́ láàrín rẹ̀ àti olùgbẹ̀san ẹ̀jẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlànà.
And this be proved in the hearing of the people, and the cause be debated between him that struck, and the next of kin:
25 Àpéjọ gbọdọ̀ dá ààbò bo ẹni tí a fi ẹ̀sùn ìpànìyàn kàn, kí a sì rán an padà lọ sí ìlú ìsásí tí ó ti wá. Ó gbọdọ̀ dúró níbẹ̀ títí di ìgbà tí olórí àlùfáà bá kú, ẹni tí a fi àmì òróró yàn.
The innocent shall be delivered from the hand of the revenger, and shall be brought back by sentence into the city, to which he had fled, and he shall abide there until the death of the high priest, that is anointed with the holy oil.
26 “‘Ṣùgbọ́n ti ẹni tí a fi sùn kan bá jáde kọjá ààlà ìlú ìsásí tí ó sá sí.
If the murderer be found without the limits of the cities that are appointed for the banished,
27 Tí olùgbẹ̀san ẹ̀jẹ̀ sì ri ní ìta ìlú náà, olùgbẹ̀san lè pa ẹni tí a fi ẹ̀sùn kàn láìjẹ̀bi ẹ̀sùn ìpànìyàn.
And be struck by him that is the avenger of blood: he shall not be guilty that killed him.
28 Ẹni tí a fi ẹ̀sùn kàn gbọdọ̀ dúró nínú ìlú ìsásí títí di ìgbà tí olórí àlùfáà bá kú; lẹ́yìn ikú olórí àlùfáà, ni ó tó lè padà sí ibi tí dúkìá rẹ̀ wà.
For the fugitive ought to have stayed in the city until the death of the high priest: and after he is dead, then shall the manslayer return to his own country.
29 “‘Wọ̀nyí ni ó jẹ́ ìlànà ìdájọ́ fún yín ní ìran yín tó ń bọ̀, ní ibikíbi tí ẹ bá ń gbé.
These things shall be perpetual, and for an ordinance in all your dwellings.
30 “‘Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá pa ènìyàn gbọdọ̀ kú gẹ́gẹ́ bí apànìyàn lórí ìjẹ́rìí àwọn ènìyàn. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹlẹ́rìí kan ṣoṣo. Kì yóò jẹ́rìí sí ẹnìkan láti pa.
The murderer shall be punished by witnesses: none shall be condemned upon the evidence of one man.
31 “‘Má ṣe gba ohun ìràpadà fún ẹ̀mí apànìyàn, tí ó jẹ̀bi kí ó kú. Ṣùgbọ́n pípa ni kí a pa á.
You shall not take money of him that is guilty of blood, but he shall die forthwith.
32 “‘Má ṣe gba ìràsílẹ̀ fún ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá lọ sí ìlú ìsásí, pe kí ó padà máa gbé ní ilẹ̀ tirẹ̀ kí ó tó di ìgbà ikú olórí àlùfáà.
The banished and fugitives before the death of the high priest may by no means return into their own cities.
33 “‘Má ṣe sọ ilẹ̀ tí ẹ wà di àìmọ́. Ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀ sọ ilẹ̀ náà di àìmọ́. Àtúnṣe kì yóò sí fún ilẹ̀ tí a ti ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ lé lórí, àyàfi ẹ̀jẹ̀ ẹni tí ó ta á sílẹ̀.
Defile not the land of your habitation, which is stained with the blood of the innocent: neither can it otherwise be expiated, but by his blood that hath shed the blood of another.
34 Má ṣe sọ di àìmọ́, ilẹ̀ tí ẹ ń gbé, àti èyí tí mo ń gbé, nítorí Èmi Olúwa ń gbé láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.’”
And thus shall your possession he cleansed, myself abiding with you. For I am the Lord that dwell among the children of Israel.
