Deuteronomy 19

1 for to cut: eliminate LORD God your [obj] [the] nation which LORD God your to give: give to/for you [obj] land: country/planet their and to possess: take them and to dwell in/on/with city their and in/on/with house: home their

After the Lord your God has destroyed the nations whose land he's giving you, and after you have driven them out and settled in their cities and houses,

2 three city to separate to/for you in/on/with midst land: country/planet your which LORD God your to give: give to/for you to/for to possess: take her

then you are to choose three sanctuary towns in the country that the Lord your God is giving you to own.

3 to establish: right to/for you [the] way: road and to do three [obj] border: area land: country/planet your which to inherit you LORD God your and to be to/for to flee there [to] all to murder

You are build roads to these towns. Divide the country the Lord is giving you into three sections. This way anyone who kills someone else can easily run to these towns for protection.

4 and this word: case [the] to murder which to flee there [to] and to live which to smite [obj] neighbor his in/on/with without knowledge and he/she/it not to hate to/for him from yesterday three days ago

This is what is to happen when a person accidentally kills someone else without meaning to, and runs to one of these sanctuary towns to save their life.

5 and which to come (in): come with neighbor his in/on/with wood to/for to chop tree: wood and to banish hand his in/on/with axe to/for to cut: cut [the] tree and to slip [the] iron from [the] tree: stake and to find [obj] neighbor his and to die he/she/it to flee to(wards) one [the] city [the] these and to live

For example, if a man goes to cut wood in the forest with his friend and swings his axe to chop down a tree, but the head flies off the handle and hits and kills his friend, he may run to one of these towns to save his life.

6 lest to pursue to redeem: avenge [the] blood after [the] to murder for to warm heart his and to overtake him for to multiply [the] way: journey and to smite him soul: myself and to/for him nothing justice: judgement death for not to hate he/she/it to/for him from yesterday three days ago

Otherwise the avenger in his anger might chase after the man and catch up with him and kill him, if it's a long distance. The man would be killed even though he didn't deserve to die, because he hadn't meant to cause any harm.

7 upon so I to command you to/for to say three city to separate to/for you

This is the reason why I'm giving this order to choose three sanctuary towns.

8 and if to enlarge LORD God your [obj] border: area your like/as as which to swear to/for father your and to give: give to/for you [obj] all [the] land: country/planet which to speak: promise to/for to give: give to/for father your

Should the Lord your God expand your territory, as he promised your forefathers, and give you all the land he said he would,

9 for to keep: careful [obj] all [the] commandment [the] this to/for to make: do her which I to command you [the] day to/for to love: lover [obj] LORD God your and to/for to go: walk in/on/with way: conduct his all [the] day: today and to add to/for you still three city upon [the] three [the] these

and if you are careful to keep all these commandments I'm giving you today, loving the Lord your God and always following his ways, then you are to choose three additional three sanctuary towns.

10 and not to pour: kill blood innocent in/on/with entrails: among land: country/planet your which LORD God your to give: give to/for you inheritance and to be upon you blood

In this way the blood of innocent people won't not be shed in the country the Lord your God is giving you to own and you won't be responsible for the death of innocent people who aren't guilty of losing their lives.

11 and for to be man: anyone to hate to/for neighbor his and to ambush to/for him and to arise: attack upon him and to smite him soul: life and to die and to flee to(wards) one [the] city [the] these

On the other hand, if a man hates someone, hides in wait, and attacks and kills them, and then the killer runs to one of the sanctuary towns,

12 and to send: depart old: elder city his and to take: take [obj] him from there and to give: give [obj] him in/on/with hand: to to redeem: avenge [the] blood and to die

the elders of his home town must send for him, bring him back, and hand him over to the avenger to be killed.

13 not to pity eye your upon him and to burn: purge blood [the] innocent from Israel and pleasant to/for you

Show him no mercy. You are to eliminate from Israel the guilt of shedding the blood of the innocent, and then all will be well.

14 not to remove border: boundary neighbor your which to border first: previous in/on/with inheritance your which to inherit in/on/with land: country/planet which LORD God your to give: give to/for you to/for to possess: take her

Don't move your neighbor's boundary marker. It was placed there by your ancestors to mark the land allotment you will receive in the country that the Lord your God is giving you to own.

15 not to arise: establish witness one in/on/with man: anyone to/for all iniquity: crime and to/for all sin in/on/with all sin which to sin upon lip: word two witness or upon lip: word three witness to arise: establish word

The evidence given by a single witness is not enough to prove a sin or a crime against someone, never mind what offense they are alleged to have committed. The facts must be confirmed by the evidence given by two or three witnesses.

16 for to arise: rise witness violence in/on/with man: anyone to/for to answer in/on/with him revolt

If someone falsely accuses another person of a crime,

17 and to stand: stand two [the] human which to/for them [the] strife to/for face: before LORD to/for face: before [the] priest and [the] to judge which to be in/on/with day [the] they(masc.)

both those involved must come to be judged in the presence of the Lord by the priests and judges who are then in office.

18 and to seek [the] to judge be good and behold witness deception [the] witness deception to answer in/on/with brother: compatriot his

The judges shall conduct a full investigation, and if the accuser proves to be a liar who has made false accusations

19 and to make: do to/for him like/as as which to plan to/for to make: do to/for brother: compatriot his and to burn: purge [the] bad: evil from entrails: among your

then you must punish the accuser in the same way they wanted to punish their victim. You must eliminate this evil from among you.

20 and [the] to remain to hear: hear and to fear and not to add: again to/for to make still like/as word: thing [the] bad: evil [the] this in/on/with entrails: among your

Then the rest of the people will hear and be afraid, and they will never again do anything so evil among you. Then everyone else will hear about it and be afraid, and won't ever do anything so evil.

21 and not to pity eye your soul: life in/on/with soul: life eye in/on/with eye tooth in/on/with tooth hand in/on/with hand foot in/on/with foot

Don't show any mercy. The rule is life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, and foot for foot.
