Numbers 35
1 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:
OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Mose ma na papu o Moaba, ma Ioredane o Ieriko, i mai la,
2 “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.
E kauoha aku oe i na mamo a Iseraela, e haawi aku lakou i kekahi aina o lakou e ili ana, no na Levi, i na kulanakauhale e noho ai; a e haawi hoi no na Levi i na kula o na kulanakauhale a puni.
3 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.
A no lakou na kulanakauhale e noho ai iloko; a o na kula a puni, no ka lakou holoholona ia, no ko lakou waiwai, a no ko lakou mau mea ola a pau.
4 “The land that you give them for their animals must extend out for (1,500 feet/450 meters) from the walls of the cities.
A o na kula o na kulanakauhale a oukou e haawi aku ai no na Levi, mai ka papohaku o ke kulanakauhale mawaho aku, i hookahi tausani na kubita.
5 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.”
A e ana oukou mai waho aku o ke kulanakauhale ma ka aoao hikina, i elua tausani kubita, a ma ka aoao hema i elua tausani kubita, a ma ka aoao komohana i elua tausani kubita, a ma ka aoao akau i elua tausani kubita; a mawaena konu ko kulanakauhale: oia no ia lakou na kela o na kulanakauhale.
6 “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.
A no na kulanakauhale a oukou e haawi aku ai no na Levi, he aono mau kulanakauhale e lilo i mau puuhonua, kahi a oukou e haawi ai no ka pepehi kanaka, e holo ai ia ilaila; a e haawi hou aku oukou i na kulanakauhale keu he kanaha kumamalua.
7 You must also give to the descendants of Levi 42 other cities and the land around those cities, for their animals,
O na kulanakauhale a pau a oukou e haawi aku ai no na Levi, he kanahakumamawalu: o lakou a me na kula o lakou.
8 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.”
A o na kulanakauhale a oukou e haawi aku ai, noloko mai ia o ka aina o na mamo a Iseraela; noloko mai o ka mea nui, e hoonui aku oukou, a noloko mai o ka mea uuku, e houuku iho no oukou: o kela mea keia mea ke haawi i kekahi mau kulanakauhale ona no na Levi, e like me ka aina e ili mai ana nona.
9 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
10 “Tell this to the Israeli people: When you cross the Jordan [River] and enter the Canaan [region],
E olelo aku oe i na mamo a Iseraela, e i aku ia lakou, Aia hiki aku oukou ma kela aoao o Ioredane iloko o ka aina o Kanaana;
11 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.
Alaila, e hoolilo oukou i na kulanakauhalo, i kulanakauhale puuhonua no oukou, i holo aku ai ka mea pepehi kanaka ilaila, ka mea pepehi naaupo i ke kanaka.
12 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.
A e lilo lakou i mau kulanakauhale puuhonua no oukou, mai ka mea hoopai aku; i make ole ai ka mea pepehi kanaka, a ku ia imua o ke anainakauaka no ka hookolokolo ana.
13 You must set apart six cities to be cities to which someone who killed another person accidentally may run and be safe.
No keia mau kulanakauhale a oukou o haawi aku ai, e lilo na mea eono i mau puuhonua no oukou.
14 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.
E haawi aku oukou i ekolu mau kulanakauhale ma keia aoao o Ioredane, a me na kulanakauhale ekolu ka oukou e haawi aku ai ma ka aina o Kanaana, i mau kulanakauhale puuhonua.
15 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].
O keia mau kulanakauhale eono, he mau puuhonua ia no na mamo a Iseraela, a no ke kanaka e, a no ka malihini iwaena o lakou; i holo aku ai ilaila ka mea pepehi naaupo i kekahi kanaka.
16 “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.
Ina e pepehi aku oia ia ia me ka mea hao, a make ia, he pepehi kanaka oia; he oiaio no, e make ka pepehi kanaka.
Ina hoi e pepehi aku oia ia ia me ka pohaku nouia, ka mea e make ai ia, a ua make no kela, he pepehi kanaka oia; he oiaio no, e make ka pepehi kanaka.
Ina hoi o pepehi kela ia ia me ka laau ma ka lima, i mea e make ai oia, a ua make no ia, hepepehi kanaka no kela: he oiaio no, e make ka pepehi kanaka.
19 A relative of the person who was murdered must be the one who executes the murderer as soon as he finds him.
Na ka mea hoopai koko, nana no e pepehi aku i ka mea pepehi kanaka: i kona wa e halawai aku ai me ia, nana no ia o pepehi.
20 If someone shoves another person [over a cliff] or throws something at another person
Ina paha e hookulai iho kekahi ia ia me ka inaina, a e hoolei aku paha i kekahi mea maluna ona me ka hoohalua nona, a make no ia;
21 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.
A ina e pepehi aku kona lima ia ia me ka inaina, a make ia; o ka mea pepehi aku, he oiaio no, e make no ia: no ka mea, he pepehi kanaka oia: na ka mea hoopai koko, nana no e pepehi i ua pepehi kanaka la, i kona halawai ana me ia.
22 “But someone might accidentally shove someone else, or accidentally throw something at another person and hit him, not because he hates that person.
Aka, ina e pepehi wale aku ia me ka inaina ole, a ua hoolei aku paha i kekahi mea maluna ona, me ka hoohalua ole;
23 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,
A i ka pohaku paha e make ai ke kanaka, me ka ike ole aku, hoolei aku maluna ona, a make ia; aole no ia o kona enemi, aole hoi ia i manao e hana ino aku ia ia:
24 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)].
Alaila, e hookolokolo ke anainakanaka mawaena o ka mea pepohi a me ka mea hoopai koko, e like me keia mau kanawai:
25 [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].
A na ke anainakanaka no e hoopakele i ka pepehi kanaka mailoko ae o ka lima o ka mea hoopai koko, a na ke anainakanaka ia e hoihoi aku i ka puuhonua i kahi e holo aku ai oia: a malaila ia e noho ai a make ke kahuna nui, ka mea i poniia i ka aila laa.
26 “But [while the Supreme Priest is still living], the person who is in that safe city must not leave that city.
Aka, ina e puka aku ka pepehi kanaka i kekahi manawa mawaho o na palena o ke kulanakauhalo o kona puuhonua, kahi ana i holo ai;
27 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.]
A loaa oia i ka hoopai koko mawaho o ka palena o ke kulanakauhale o kona puuhonua, a pepehi ka hoopai koko i ua pepehi kanaka la, aole e pili kona koko ia ia;
28 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.
No ka mea, o kona pono no e noho iloko o ke kulanakauhale o kona puuhonua, a hiki i ka make ana o ke kahuna nui: aka, mahope iho o ka make ana o ke kahuna nui, e hoi hou no ka pepehi kanaka i ka aina o kona noho ana.
29 “You must always obey those regulations, wherever you live.
A e lilo keia mau mea no oukou i kanawai hoopono no ko oukou mau hanauna ma na wahi a pau a oukou e noho ai.
30 “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).
O ka mea pepehi i kekahi kanaka, e make no ia ma ka waha o na mea hoike: aole no e make ke kanaka ma ka mea hoike hookahi wale no.
31 “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.
Eia hoi kekahi, aole oukou e lawe i uku panai no ke ola o ka mea pepehi kanaka, o ka mea i hewa e make ai: aka, e oiaio no, e make ua kanaka la.
32 “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.
Aole hoi oukou e lawe i uku panai, no ka mea i holo aku i ke kulanakauhale o kona puuhonua, i hoi hou aku ai ia e noho i ka aina, a hiki i ka make ana o ke kahuna.
33 “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.
Pela oukou e hoohaumia ole ai i ka aina a oukou e noho ai: no ka mea, o ke koko, oia ke hoohaumia i ka aina; aole e hiki ke huikalaia ka aina i ke koko i hookaheia maloko, aia wale no ma ke koko o ka mea nana ia i hookahe.
34 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.”
Nolaila, mai hoohaumia oukou i ka aina a oukou e noho ai, kahi hoi a'u e noho ai; no ka mea, owau o Iehova e noho nei iwaena o ka poe mamo a Iseraela.
