Deuteronomy 19
1 When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;
“Tukun LEUM GOD lowos el kunausla mwet ma la acn El ac asot nu suwos, ac tukun kowos eis siti selos ac lohm selos ac oakwuki we,
2 Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
kowos fah srela tolu siti an ke facl se su LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos.
3 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.
Kowos fah srikeya facl sac, ac kitalik nu ke ip tolu — kais sie ip inge in oasr siti in molela se we ma ac firsrasr nu sin sie mwet in kaing nu we. Na fin sie mwet el uniya sie pacna mwet, el ac ku in kaing ac moulla we.
4 And this [is] the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;
“Sie mwet fin ongla ouiya uniya sie mwet su tia mwet lokoalok lal, na el ku in kaing nu in sie sin siti inge ac moulla.
5 As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:
Fin pa mwet luo tukeni som nu insak uh in pakpuk sak, na sie seltal paki sak soko, ac mutun tuhla ah tufwacla liki fung ah, ac uniya mwet se ngia, el ku in kasrusr nu in sie sin siti tolu an ac moulla.
6 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he [was] not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.
Fin siti sefanna, ac ku in arulana loesla, pwanang mwet se ma suk in foloksak ke misa sac ac ku in sruokilya, ac in kasrkusrak lal el uniya sie mwet wangin mwata. Wangin mwatal mweyen el tia oru in ouiya, ac mwet sac tia pac mwet lokoalok lal.
7 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.
Pa inge sripa se sis nga sapkin kowos in srela siti in molela tolu.
8 And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;
“Pacl LEUM GOD lowos El ac akyokyelik facl suwos, oana ke El tuh fahk nu sin papa matu tomowos mu El ac oru, ac sot nu suwos acn nukewa El tuh wulela kac,
9 If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:
na kowos fah sulela tolu pac siti an. (El ac sot nu suwos facl inge kowos fin oru ma nukewa ma nga sapkin nu suwos misenge, ac kowos fin lungse LEUM GOD lowos, ac moul fal nu ke mwe luti lal.)
10 That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance, and [so] blood be upon thee.
Oru ma inge, tuh mwet su wangin mwata fah tia misa, ac in wangin pac mwatuwos ke sripen mwet se ma wangin mwata tiana anwuki in facl se ma LEUM GOD El sot nu suwos.
11 But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:
“Tusruktu, fin pa sie mwet el nuna oru elan akmuseya mwet lokoalok se lal, ac el kaing nu in sie siti ingo elan moulla.
12 Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
Ke lumah ouinge, na mwet kol lun siti sel sifacna ac fah sap in utuku el, ac eisalang nu inpoun mwet foloksak ke akmas, tuh elan anwuki.
13 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away [the guilt of] innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
Kowos fah tia pakomutal. Sisla mwet akmas se inge liki Israel tuh ma nukewa in wo nu suwos.
14 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour’s landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
“Kowos in tia mokle masrol ke acn lun mwet tulan lowos, ma oakwuki in pacl oemeet me in facl se su LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos.
15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
“Mwet loh sefanna tia fal in akkeyala lah oasr mwatan sie mwet ke kutena ma koluk ku ma sutuu. Enenu na in oasr mwet loh luo, ku pus liki, in akpwayeye lah oasr mwatan mwet se.
16 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him [that which is] wrong;
Sie mwet fin srike in akkolukye sie pac mwet ke el orek loh kikiap mu mwet sac orala ma koluk se,
17 Then both the men, between whom the controversy [is], shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
eltal na kewa enenu in som nu ke acn in alu se ma solla, tuh in nununkeyuk eltal sin mwet tol ac mwet nununku su orekma in pacl sac.
18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, [if] the witness [be] a false witness, [and] hath testified falsely against his brother;
Mwet nununku elos fah sokak akwoya lah mea sripen tukak sac. Mwet se ma tukak lain mwet Israel se wial fin sutuu,
19 Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
el pa ac eis kaiyuk ma akoeyuk nu sin mwet tukakyak sac. In ouiya se inge kowos ac fah sisla ma koluk se inge liki inmasrlowos.
20 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
Na mwet nukewa fah lohng ke ma sikyak inge, ac elos ac fah sangengla ac wangin mwet ac fah sifil oru ouiya koluk se inge.
21 And thine eye shall not pity; [but] life [shall go] for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Kowos in tiana pakomuta. Kaiyuk nu ke ouiya sie inge pa: moul molin moul, atronmuta molin atronmuta, wihs molin wihs, pao molin pao, nia molin nia.
