Numbers 35
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te Jerikho Jordan kah Moab kolken ah a voek tih,
2 Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and suburbs for the cities round about them shall ye give unto the Levites.
Israel ca rhoek te uen lamtah amih kah khohut rho lamloh Levi te pae uh saeh. Khosa ham khopuei rhoek neh a kaepvai ah khopuei kah khocaak te Levi ham pae uh saeh.
3 And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and for all their beasts.
Te daengah ni amih khosa rhoek ham khaw khopuei om vetih a rhamsa ham neh a khuehtawn ham khaw, a mulhing cungkuem ham khaw a khocaak a om eh.
4 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
Khopuei kah khocaak te khopuei pangbueng lamloh vongvoel kaepvai dong thawngkhat hil tah Levi taengah pae uh.
5 And ye shall measure without the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
Te dongah khopuei kah vongvoel lamloh khothoeng ben te dong thawng hnih, tuithim ben te dong thawng hnih, khotlak ben te dong thawng hnih, tlangpuei ben te dong thawng hnih suem pah. A laklung kah khopuei tah amih ham khopuei kah khocaak la om saeh.
6 And the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall give for the manslayer to flee thither: and beside them ye shall give forty and two cities.
Khopuei khuiah khaw hlipyingnah khopuei parhuk te Levi taengah pae uh. Te te hlang aka ngawn tah te la rhaelrham sak ham pae uh. Amih te khopuei sawmli panit pae uh.
7 All the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them [shall ye give] with their suburbs.
Levi taengah na paek uh khopuei boeih amih kah khocaak nen tah kho sawmli parhet lo saeh.
8 And concerning the cities which ye shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many ye shall take many; and from the few ye shall take few: every one according to his inheritance which he inheriteth shall give of his cities unto the Levites.
Khopuei te Israel ca kah khohut khui lamloh pae uh. A yet taeng lamkah tah kum sak uh lamtah a sii taeng lamkah tah sih pauh. Hlang long he amah rho dongkah olka tarhing ah a pang vanbangla a khopuei khui lamkah te Levi taengah pae saeh,” a ti nah.
9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over Jordan into the land of Canaan,
“Israel ca rhoek te voek lamtah amih te thui pah. Nangmih te Kanaan kho khuila Jordan na kat uh vaengah,
11 then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the manslayer which killeth any person unwittingly may flee thither.
Namamih ham khopuei kang uh lamtah nangmih ham hlipyingnah khopuei la om saeh. Te daengah ni tohtamaeh ah hinglu a boh tih aka ngawn loh te lam a rhaelrham eh.
12 And the cities shall be unto you for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation for judgment.
Te vaengah khopuei rhoek te nangmih taengah hinglu aka suk taeng lamloh hlipyingnah la om saeh. Te daengah ni laitloeknah dongah rhaengpuei mikhmuh la a pai hlan hilah hlang aka ngawn te a duek pawt eh.
13 And the cities which ye shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge.
Khopuei parhuk na paek uh te nangmih ham hlipyingnah khopuei la om saeh.
14 Ye shall give three cities beyond Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge.
Khopuei pathum te Jordan kah rhalvangan ah pae uh lamtah khopuei pathum te Kanaan khohmuen ah pae uh.
15 For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the sojourner among them, shall these six cities be for refuge: that every one that killeth any person unwittingly may flee thither.
Israel ca rhoek ham neh yinlai ham khaw, amih lakli kah lampah ham khaw hlipyingnah khopuei la om saeh. Khopuei parhuk he tah tohtamaeh ah hinglu aka ngawn boeih loh a rhaelrham vaengah hlipyingnah la om saeh.
16 But if he smote him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a manslayer: the manslayer shall surely be put to death.
Tedae aka ngawn long khaw anih te thi hnopai neh a boh tih a duek sak atah hlang aka ngawn te duek rhoe duek saeh.
17 And if he smote him with a stone in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a manslayer: the manslayer shall surely be put to death.
Aka ngawn loh a kut dongkah lungto neh a duek la a thuk tih a duek atah hlang aka ngawn amah te duek rhoe duek saeh.
18 Or if he smote him with a weapon of wood in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a manslayer: the manslayer shall surely be put to death.
Hlang aka ngawn loh a kut kah thing hnopai nen khaw a duek la a boh tih a duek atah hlang aka ngawn amah te duek rhoe duek saeh.
19 The avenger of blood shall himself put the manslayer to death: when he meeteth him, he shall put him to death.
Thii aka suk amah loh hlang aka ngawn te duek sak saeh. Anih te amah neh a hum uh vaengah amah loh anih te duek sak saeh.
20 And if he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died;
Hmuhuetnah neh a thaek, rhongngolnah neh anih te a dae tih a duek atah,
21 or in enmity smote him with his hand, that he died: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; he is a manslayer: the avenger of blood shall put the manslayer to death, when he meeteth him.
thunkha thunhling la anih te a kut neh a thoek tih a duek atah aka thoek te duek rhoe duek saeh. Hlang aka ngawn thii aka suk amah neh a hum uh vaengah hlang aka ngawn te duek sak saeh.
22 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled upon him any thing without lying in wait,
Tedae thunkha thunhling pawt ah buengrhuet la a thaek akhaw, rhongngolnah om pawt ah khaw, hnopai khat khat neh anih te a dae khaming,
23 or with any stone, whereby a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
lungto nen khaw a duek sak khaming. A hmuh pawt vaengah anih te a tlak thil tih a duek oeh atah anih te thunkha aih pawt tih a boethae a tlap aih moenih.
24 then the congregation shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood according to these judgments:
Te dongah rhaengpuei loh hlang aka ngawn neh thii phu aka suk laklo ah he kah laitloeknah bangla laitloek uh saeh.
25 and the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
Te vaengah rhaengpuei loh hlang aka ngawn te thii phu aka suk kut lamloh huul saeh. Rhaengpuei loh anih te a hlipyingnah khopuei la thak uh saeh lamtah rhaelrham saeh. Tedae Hmuencim kah situi neh a koelh khosoih ham a dueknah rhi hil tah te ah te khosa saeh.
26 But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, whither he fleeth;
Tedae hlang aka ngawn te a hlipyingnah khopuei la rhaelrham tih khorhi te a poe khaw a poe khaming.
27 and the avenger of blood find him without the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood slay the manslayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
Te vaengah anih te thii aka suk loh a hlipyingnah khopuei rhi kah vongvoel ah a hmuh tih thii aka suk loh a ngawn atah aka ngawn te a taengah thii long boel saeh.
28 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 manslayer shall return into the land of his possession.
Khosoih ham a dueknah rhi hil tah a hlipyingnah khopuei ah khosa saeh. Tedae khosoih ham a dueknah hnukah tah hlang aka ngawn te amah kah khohut khohmuen la mael saeh.
29 And these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
He rhoek he nangmih ham neh na cadilcahma ham khaw na tolrhum boeih ah laitloeknah khosing la om saeh.
30 Whoso killeth any person, the manslayer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person that he die.
Hinglu aka ngawn boeih tah laipai olka kah bangla hlang aka ngawn te ngawn saeh. Tedae laipai pakhat bueng neh hinglu te duek sak ham doo boel saeh.
31 Moreover ye shall take no ransom for the life of a manslayer, which is guilty of death: but he shall surely be put to death.
Hlang aka ngawn kah hinglu ham tlansum te doe uh boeh. Amah a duek hamla aka halang te tah duek rhoe duek saeh.
32 And ye shall take no ransom for him that is fled to his city of refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
Khosoih a dueknah rhi hil tah a hlipyingnah khopuei la rhaelrham ham neh khohmuen kah khosa la mael sak ham tlansum te lo boeh.
33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood, it polluteth the land: and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
Thii loh khohmuen te a poeih coeng dongah a khuiah nangmih loh khohmuen te poeih uh boeh. A soah thii te a long coeng dongah thii aka long sak kah thii nen pawt atah khohmuen ham a dawth thai moenih.
34 And thou shalt not defile the land which ye inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell: for I the LORD dwell in the midst of the children of Israel.
A khuiah kho aka sa nangmih loh te kah khohmuen te poeih uh boeh. Kai he a khui ah kho ka sak. Kai Yahweh he Israel ca rhoek a laklung ah kho ka sak.
