< Numbers 35 >

1 Lórí pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Moabu ní Jordani tí ó rékọjá láti Jeriko, Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
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 unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and all of you shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.
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.
And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their 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.
And the suburbs of the cities, which all of you shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
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.
And all of you shall measure from without 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 suburbs of the cities.
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 all of you shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which all of you shall appoint for the murderer, that he may flee thither: and to them all of you shall add forty and two cities.
7 Ní gbogbo rẹ̀, kí ẹ fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi ní méjìdínláàádọ́ta ìlú lápapọ̀ pẹ̀lú ilẹ̀ pápá oko tútù wọn.
So all the cities which all of you shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall all of you give 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 the cities which all of you shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many all of you shall give many; but from them that have few all of you shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inherits.
9 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
10 “Sọ̀rọ̀ sí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, kí o sì sọ fún wọn: ‘Nígbà tí ẹ bá rékọjá odò Jordani sí Kenaani,
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When all of you be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
11 yan àwọn ìlú kan láti jẹ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlú ààbò fún yín, kí apani tó pa ènìyàn ní àìmọ̀ máa sálọ síbẹ̀.
Then all of you shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which kills any person at unexpectedly.
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 they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the murderer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
13 Mẹ́fà nínú ìlú tí ẹ ó fi fún wọn yóò jẹ́ ìlú ààbò fún yín.
And of these cities which all of you shall give six cities shall all of you have for refuge.
14 Yan ìlú mẹ́ta ní ìhà ti Jordani, kí ẹ sì yan ìlú mẹ́ta ní ìhà Kenaani tí yóò máa jẹ́ ìlú ìsásí.
All of you shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall all of you give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
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.
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 kills any person unexpectedly may flee thither.
16 “‘Bí ọkùnrin kan bá fi ohun èlò irin lu ènìyàn tí ó kú, apànìyàn ni, pípa ni a ó pa, apànìyàn náà.
And if he strike him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
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.
And if he strike him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
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.
Or if he strike him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
19 Olùgbẹ̀san ẹ̀jẹ̀ yóò pa apànìyàn náà; tí ó bá bá a, yóò pa á.
The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meet him, he shall slay 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.
But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;
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 in enmity strike him with his hand, that he die: he that stroke him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meet 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 he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,
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.
Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
24 Àwọn àpéjọ gbọdọ̀ dájọ́ láàrín rẹ̀ àti olùgbẹ̀san ẹ̀jẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlànà.
Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:
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.
And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, where he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
26 “‘Ṣùgbọ́n ti ẹni tí a fi sùn kan bá jáde kọjá ààlà ìlú ìsásí tí ó sá sí.
But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, where he was fled;
27 Tí olùgbẹ̀san ẹ̀jẹ̀ sì ri ní ìta ìlú náà, olùgbẹ̀san lè pa ẹni tí a fi ẹ̀sùn kàn láìjẹ̀bi ẹ̀sùn ìpànìyàn.
And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
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.
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 “‘Wọ̀nyí ni ó jẹ́ ìlànà ìdájọ́ fún yín ní ìran yín tó ń bọ̀, ní ibikíbi tí ẹ bá ń gbé.
So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations 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.
Whoso kills 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 “‘Má ṣe gba ohun ìràpadà fún ẹ̀mí apànìyàn, tí ó jẹ̀bi kí ó kú. Ṣùgbọ́n pípa ni kí a pa á.
Moreover all of you shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
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.
And all of you shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
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.
So all of you shall not pollute the land wherein all of you are: for blood it defiles the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
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.’”
Defile not therefore the land which all of you shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
