“The suburbs of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites [Descendants of United with], shall be from the wall of the city and outward one thousand cubits [1/3 mi; 457.2 km] around it.
5 Hichu khopi pam solam tong sangni a sao na tedoh diu, lhanglam jong tong sangni ma na tedoh diu, chunglam jong tongsani na tedoh diu khopi chu a lailung tah a na umsah diu, khopi vel Jousea a kitedohsa mun chengse chu Levi mite gancha ho hamhing neh na muna anei diu ahi tai.
You shall measure outside of the city for the east side two thousand cubits [1/2 mi; 914 km], and for the south side two thousand cubits [1/2 mi; 914 km], and for the west side two thousand cubits [1/2 mi; 914 km], and for the north side two thousand cubits [1/2 mi; 914 km], the city being in the middle. This shall be the suburbs of their cities.

“The cities which you shall give to the Levites [Descendants of United with], they shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the man slayer to flee to. Besides them you shall give forty-two cities.
7 Khopi somli le get chu Levi mite chen mun ding’a na peh diu, khopi kimvella hamhing umna chengse toh jaona napeh diu ahi.
All the cities which you shall give to the Levites [Descendants of United with] shall be forty-eight cities together with their suburbs.

Concerning the cities which you shall give of the possession of the children of Israel [God prevails], from the many you shall take many; and from the few you shall take few. Everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give some of his cities to the Levites [Descendants of United with].”
9 Pakaiyin Mose henga hiti hin a seipeh in ahi.
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
10 Israel chate jah a hitihin seiyin, Jordan vadung nagalkai uva Canaan gamsung nalut teng u-leh.
“Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], and tell them, ‘When you pass over the Jordan [Descender] into the land of Canaan [Humbled],
11 Na kisel na diuva khopi phabep na kilhen doh diu, hetman louva khat chun mikhat atha khah tah ahile ama chu koi pen hijong le hiche khopi sunga hi jamlut a ki huhhing ding ahi.
then you shall appoint for yourselves cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the man slayer who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
12 Khopi chengse hi nangho ding’a phula pa akon kiselna leh ki huhhing na muna pang ding ahi. Ajeh chu koi hileh mithat penpen chu athu kicheh tah a akikhol doh masangse a kithat lou hel ding ahi.
The cities shall be to you for refuge from the avenger, that the man slayer not die, until he stands before the congregation for judgment.
13 Na todoh diu khopi chu aboncha kiselna a naman chah diu ahin, hichu khopi gup hi ding ahi.
The cities which you shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge.
14 Kiselna khopi lah achu Jordan vadung gal lamma khopi thum hi ding, agal lang khat a khopi thumna todoh diu, hiche khopi thum hochu Canaan gamsung hi ding ahiye.
You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan [Descender], and you shall give three cities in the land of Canaan [Humbled]. They shall be cities of refuge.
15 Israel mi ahin, kholgam khopem mi ahin, ahung kholjin mi hi jong leh kiselna a naman chah diu ahi. Na lah uva koi hileh mi that’a khutsoi a-umkhah tah a ahile hiche khopi gup ho’a hi jam lut a ki huhhing ding ahi.
For the children of Israel [God prevails], and for the stranger and for the foreigner living among them, shall these six cities be for refuge; that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
16 Nalah uva koihile hem lamma mithat jeng’a chu tolthat a kisim ahi tan, hitabang a tolthat mihem chu thina chan gotna achung’a lhung ding ahi.
“‘But if he struck him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.
17 Chuleh song-tum ham khat a-manchah’a mi khattou chu asuh a amun’a chu athi den jeng tah ahile hiche jong chu tolthat a kisim ahi tan, tolthat mihem kiti phot chu achunga thina chan gotna kipie ding ahi.
If he struck him with a stone in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.
18 Khat touvin thingtum ham khat chu a manchah a mi khattou ajep a a jeppa jong chu amuna a thi den jeng tah a ahile ama jong chu tolthat a kisim ahi tan, hi tabanga tolthat chu thina chan gotna peh teitei ding ahi.
Or if he struck him with a weapon of wood in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.
19 Thisan phulah ding’a alunga voppa chun tolthat pa chung’a chu thina a-chansah teitei ding ahi.
The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death. When he meets him, he shall put him to death.
20 Mi khat touvin mihem khat chu achan lhih keija vetda jeh a atha jeng tah a ahile.
If he shoved him out of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died,
21 Chuleh kitomona a-nei jeh lhonna asuh lih jeng ahi jong leh hitabang’a khutsoi mihem pa chung’a chu thina chan gotna peh teitei ding, ajeh chu ama jong chu tolthat a pang ahitan, thisan phulah ding lungpu pachu a-kimupi teng thina achansah teitei ding ahi.
or in hostility struck him with his hand, so that he died, he who struck him shall surely be put to death. He is a murderer. The avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meets him.
22 Ki-tomona ima neipi hilou, aki changlhi le hilouva tohhai ja a selih jeng khah ham,
“‘But if he shoved him suddenly without hostility, or hurled on him anything without lying in wait,
23 Chule songkhat alah a mikhat tou muchen louva ase khah jeng tah a mipa jong chu amun’a athi jeng tah leh, hichepa toh chun akah a boina ima nei lou ahinah leh.
or with any stone, by which a man may die, not seeing him, and cast it on him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm;
24 Khopi a-chu mithatpa leh thisan phulah ding lunggel pa kikah’a thutanna dan tampi toh tho’a asem diu ahi.
then the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of blood according to these judgments.
25 Thisan-phu lah ding lunggel neipa akonna mithatpa chu khopi chun a-huhdoh ding, mithat pan jong khopi chu kiselna’a aman ding, mithatpa jam lutna in penpen a-chu achensah diu, ama jong hiche khopi sunga chu thaotui theng changsa thempupa adam sung’a cheng ding ahi.
The congregation shall deliver the man slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, where he had fled. He shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
26 Ama vang hiche mithatpa chu a deiphat phat in khopi akon chun avella ana chedoh ta hen lang,
“‘But if the man slayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, where he flees,
27 Hitia achedoh laitah chun gamning lah khat a thisan phu lah nompa chun hiche mithatpa chu ana that jeng taleh ama thisen jeh’a chu Thempu pa thepmona ima umlou ding ahi.
and the avenger of blood finds him outside of the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kills the man slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood,
28 Hijeh achu mithatpa jong thempulen pa adam sung’a hiche khopi sung’a chu umjing ding ahi.
because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest, the man slayer shall teshuvah ·completely return· into the land of his possession.
29 Hiche hi nakhang khang uva chonna dan a na nei jing diu ahiye.
“‘These things shall be for a statute and judgement to you throughout all your generations in all your dwellings.

“‘Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses; but one witness shall not testify against any person that he die.
31 Chule thina changei ja gotna chang ding mihem khat chung’a chu thilong man kilahna nanei thei lou hel diu, tolthatpa vang chu thina na chansah teitei diu ahi.
“‘Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death.

“‘You shall take no ransom for him who is fled to his city of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
33 Hitia hi na gamsung’u na suhboh thei loudiu, ajeh chu thisan jal’a gamsung boh ji ahin, gamsung suh thengna ding’a thil dang ima aum pon, agam chu thisan kiso jeng ahi tan hichu thisen sopa chung’a bouchu suh theng theina lampi um ahi.
“‘So you shall not pollute the land in which you are; for blood pollutes the land. No atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it, but by the blood of him who shed it.
34 Hijeh chun nachen nau gamsung hi thisan a na suhboh thei louhel diu, keima hiche gam lailungtah in kacheng in, Pakai, Pathen hi Israel mite lailunga acheng jing e, tia ajah uva naseipeh ding ahi.
You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, in the middle of which I dwell; for I, Adonai, dwell in the middle of the children of Israel [God prevails].’”
