Numbers 35
1 And the Lord spoke these things also to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, over against Jericho:
Antan yo nan plenn Moab yo, lòt bò larivyè Jouden, sou bò solèy leve anfas lavil Jeriko, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
2 Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites out of their possessions,
-W'a bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo lòd pou yo pran nan pòsyon tè yo resevwa a kèk lavil pou yo bay moun Levi yo pou yo rete, ansanm ak savann ki toutotou lavil sa yo pou yo ka fè gadinaj.
3 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:
Se nan lavil sa yo moun Levi yo va rete. Savann sa yo va rete pou yo, y'a sèvi pou zannimo yo ak pou tout lòt bèt y'a genyen.
4 Which suburbs shall reach from the walls of the cities outward, a thousand paces on every side:
Savann yo va toutotou lavil yo. Y'a mezire mil senksan (1.500) pye depi ranpa lavil la nan chak direksyon.
5 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.
Konsa, savann yo va fè yon gwo teren kare kare ki va mezire twamil (3.000) pye sou chak bò: twamil pye sou bò lès, twamil pye sou bò lwès, twamil pye sou bò nò, twamil pye sou bò sid ak lavil la nan mitan l'. Y'a sèvi kote pou bèt moun Levi ki rete nan lavil la jwenn manje.
6 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,
Nan lavil n'a bay moun Levi yo, gen sis ladan yo ki va sèvi pou bay moun ki touye moun pwoteksyon. Apa sis lavil sa yo, n'a bay moun Levi yo karannde lòt lavil ankò.
7 That is, in all forty-eight with their suburbs.
Antou, se pou nou bay moun Levi yo karantwit lavil ak tout savann pou bèt yo.
8 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.
Lè n'ap wete nan pòsyon ki pou pèp Izrayèl la lavil pou moun Levi yo, chak fanmi va bay dapre pòsyon tè li te resevwa. Sa ki gen pi gwo pòsyon an va bay plis. Sa ki gen ti pòsyon an va bay mwens.
9 The Lord said to Moses:
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
10 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,
-Pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, di yo pou mwen. Lè n'a janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an pou nou antre nan peyi Kanaran an,
11 Determine what cities shall be for the refuge of fugitives, who have shed blood against their will.
se pou nou chwazi kèk lavil kote yon moun ki touye yon lòt san li pa fè espre ka kouri chache pwoteksyon.
12 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.
Se la y'a pwoteje l' anba fanmi mò a ki ta chache tire revanj mò a. Yo p'ap gen dwa touye l' toutotan yo pa jije l' devan tout moun.
13 And of those cities, that are separated for the refuge of fugitives,
Nan lavil n'a bay moun Levi yo, sis va sèvi pou bay moun konsa pwoteksyon,
14 Three shall be beyond the Jordan, and three in the land of Chanaan,
twa lòt bò larivyè Jouden an sou bò solèy leve, twa bò isit nan peyi Kanaran an.
15 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.
Sis lavil sa yo va sèvi ni pou moun peyi a ni pou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou osinon ki depasaj. Se la tout moun ki touye yon lòt san fè espre va kouri chache pwoteksyon.
16 If any man strike with iron, and he die that was struck: he shall be guilty of murder, and he himself shall die.
Si yon moun frape yon lòt ak yon bout fè epi li touye l', se ansasen li ye, se pou yo touye l' tou.
17 If he throw a stone, and he that is struck die: he shall be punished in the same manner.
Si yon moun bay yon lòt yon kout wòch epi li touye l', se ansasen li ye, se pou yo touye l' tou.
18 If he that is struck with wood die: he shall be revenged by the blood of him that struck him.
Si yon moun bay yon lòt yon kout bwa epi li touye l', se ansasen li ye, se pou yo touye l' tou.
19 The kinsman of him that was slain, shall kill the murderer: as soon as he apprehendeth him, he shall kill him.
Moun ki fanmi pi pre moun yo touye a va reskonsab pou li touye ansasen an, nenpòt kilè li bare avè l'.
20 If through hatred any one push a man, or fling any thing at him with ill design:
Si yon moun rayi yon lòt epi li ba li yon move bourad pou li touye l', osinon si li voye yon bagay dèyè l' pou touye l',
21 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.
oswa ankò, paske li pa vle wè l' li bat li ak koutpwen pou l' touye l', epi li touye l' vre, li gen pou l' mouri tou. Se yon ansasen li ye. Moun ki fanmi pi pre moun li touye a va reskonsab pou touye l' tou, nenpòt lè li bare avè l'.
22 But if by chance medley, and without hatred,
Men, sipoze yon moun bay yon lòt yon move bourad san li pa fè espre, san li pa rayi l', osinon li voye yon bagay konsa konsa, epi l' al pran yon moun move kote san li pa t'ap voye l' dèyè l',
23 And enmity, he do any of these things,
oswa ankò, sipoze li voye yon wòch epi li pa wè sa, wòch la al tonbe sou yon moun, li touye l' frèt, san li pa t' rayi moun lan ni li pa t'ap chache fè moun lan mal,
24 And this be proved in the hearing of the people, and the cause be debated between him that struck, and the next of kin:
nan ka sa yo, men regleman pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo swiv pou yo regle bagay la ant moun ki te touye lòt la ak fanmi pi pre moun mouri a ki reskonsab pou tire revanj la.
25 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.
Pèp la va sove moun ki te touye lòt la anba men fanmi pi pre moun li touye a, l'a fè l' tounen nan lavil kote li te al kache kò l' la. Moun ki te touye lòt la va rete la jouk granprèt ki la lè sa a pou fè sèvis Bondye a va mouri.
26 If the murderer be found without the limits of the cities that are appointed for the banished,
Si moun ki touye lòt la ta rive soti andeyò limit lavil kote li kache a,
27 And be struck by him that is the avenger of blood: he shall not be guilty that killed him.
si moun ki fanmi pi pre moun li touye a bare avè l', epi li touye l', yo pa gen dwa fè fanmi pre a peye pou sa l' fè a.
28 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.
Paske moun ki touye yon lòt san li pa fè espre a fèt pou rete nan lavil kote li te kache a jouk granprèt ki la lè sa a va mouri. Se apre lanmò granprèt la ase l'a ka tounen lakay li.
29 These things shall be perpetual, and for an ordinance in all your dwellings.
Regleman sa yo va sèvi tankou yon lwa pou nou pou tout tan, de pitit an pitit, kote nou pase.
30 The murderer shall be punished by witnesses: none shall be condemned upon the evidence of one man.
Lè yon moun touye yon lòt, anvan yo touye l', se pou yo gen depozisyon divès temwen kont li. Depozisyon yon sèl temwen pa kont pou kondannen yon moun.
31 You shall not take money of him that is guilty of blood, but he shall die forthwith.
Nou pa gen dwa asepte lajan pou sove lavi yon moun yo kondannen pou mouri paske li touye yon lòt. Wè pa wè se pou nonm sa a mouri.
32 The banished and fugitives before the death of the high priest may by no means return into their own cities.
Ni nou pa gen dwa asepte lajan pou penmèt yon moun ki kite lavil kote l' te kache a pou l' al lakay li anvan granprèt ki la lè sa a mouri.
33 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.
Piga nou janm fè bagay ki pou fè Bondye vire do bay peyi kote nou pral viv la. Lè yon moun touye yon lòt moun, se sa k'ap mete peyi a nan kondisyon li derespekte Bondye ak san ki koule a. Lè konsa, pa gen lòt mwayen pou fè Bondye padonnen peyi a pase se touye pou nou touye moun ki touye a.
34 And thus shall your possession he cleansed, myself abiding with you. For I am the Lord that dwell among the children of Israel.
Piga nou janm fè bagay ki pou fè Bondye vire do bay peyi kote nou rete a, paske mwen menm Seyè a, se nan mitan moun pèp Izrayèl yo, nan mitan peyi kote yo rete a, mwen rete tou.
