Oekyuk 35
1 In acn mwesis lun Moab sisken Infacl Jordan tulanang acn Jericho, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
And the Lord spoke these things also to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, over against Jericho:
2 “Fahk nu sin mwet Israel lah elos enenu in sang kutu siti in acn ma elos eis lalos nu sin mwet Levi tuh elos in muta we, wi pac acn tupasrpasr ma raunela ac yohk mah we.
Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites out of their possessions,
3 Siti inge ac fah ma lun mwet Levi, ac elos fah muta we. Acn ma yohk mah we inge ac fah nien tohf cow ac kain kosro nukewa natulos.
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:
4 Acn in tohf kosro uh ac mutawauk sisken pot lun siti uh fahla yact lumfoko ke siska akosr kewa.
Which suburbs shall reach from the walls of the cities outward, a thousand paces on every side:
5 Na ac orala sie acn maspang ma srikasrak kac uh oasr ke sie tausin yact ke siska kewa, ac siti uh ac oan infulwa.
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.
6 Kom fah sang onkosr siti nu sin mwet Levi tuh in siti in molela, tuh sie mwet fin uniya sie pac mwet ke ongla ouiya, elan ku in kaing nu we. In weang siti inge, sang pac angngaul luo siti an nu selos,
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,
7 wi acn tupasrpasr ac yohk mah we ma oan raunela. Siti angngaul oalkosr nufon fah ma lun mwet Levi.
That is, in all forty-eight with their suburbs.
8 Pisen siti in acn lun kais sie sruf ma ac itukyang nu sin mwet Levi fah lumweyuk fal nu ke lupan acn lun sruf sac.”
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.
9 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
The Lord said to Moses:
10 elan fahk nu sin mwet Israel: “Pacl se kowos alukela infacl Jordan nu in acn Canaan,
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,
11 kowos fah srela kutu siti uh in nien molela, ma sie mwet el ac ku in kaing nu we el fin uniya sie mwet ke el tia oru in oaya.
Determine what cities shall be for the refuge of fugitives, who have shed blood against their will.
12 Ke el muta in acn se inge, el ac tia sangeng sin sou lun mwet misa sac su suk in foloksak. Mwet se fin tukakyak ke akmas, fah tia anwuki meet liki nununkeyuk el ye mutun mwet uh.
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.
13 Sulela siti in molela onkosr:
And of those cities, that are separated for the refuge of fugitives,
14 tolu siti uh in oan kutulap in Infacl Jordan, ac tolu siti fin acn Canaan.
Three shall be beyond the Jordan, and three in the land of Chanaan,
15 Siti onkosr inge ac fah acn in wikla lun mwet Israel, oayapa mwetsac su mutangan aktuktuk yuruwos uh, ku mwetsac su ac muta inmasrlowos nwe tok. Kutena mwet su uniya mwet ke ongla ouiya, ac ku in kaing nu in sie sin siti inge.
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.
16 “Tusruktu sie mwet fin sringil sie mwet ke soko polo osra ac mwet sac misa, el mwet akmas. Sie mwet akmas enenu in anwuki.
If any man strike with iron, and he die that was struck: he shall be guilty of murder, and he himself shall die.
17 Ku kutena mwet su tukya sie mwet ke sie eot inpaol ac mwet sac misa, el mwet akmas. Sie mwet akmas enenu in anwuki.
If he throw a stone, and he that is struck die: he shall be punished in the same manner.
18 Ku sie mwet su sringilya siena mwet ke soko mwe anwuk orekla ke sak, ac mwet sac misa, na el sie mwet akmas. Sie mwet akmas enenu in anwuki.
If he that is struck with wood die: he shall be revenged by the blood of him that struck him.
19 Ma kunen sou se ma fototo emeet nu sin mwet misa sac, in uniya mwet akmas sac. El fin konalak, elan unilya.
The kinsman of him that was slain, shall kill the murderer: as soon as he apprehendeth him, he shall kill him.
20 “Mwet se fin srunga sie mwet ac unilya ke sinukunulla nu ten, ku tungalilya,
If through hatred any one push a man, or fling any thing at him with ill design:
21 ku fiskilya, oasr mwatal ke akmas, ac el ac fah anwuki. Ma kunen sou se ma fototo emeet nu sin mwet misa sac, in uniya mwet akmas sac. El fin konalak, elan unilya.
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.
22 “Tusruktu fin pa mwet se el sinukunla sie mwet nu ten, ku tungalilya na el misa, a mwet se ma oru ah el tia srungal ku oru in oaya.
But if by chance medley, and without hatred,
23 Ku fin pa mwet se el sis eot se tuh uniya mwet se su el tia liye, ac el tia pac mwet lokoalok lal uh, na fuka?
And enmity, he do any of these things,
24 Ke ac nununkeyuk lumah ouinge uh, na mwet uh in wi layen lun mwet se ma orala misa sac, ac tia wi sou lun mwet misa sac su suk in foloksak.
And this be proved in the hearing of the people, and the cause be debated between him that struck, and the next of kin:
25 Mwet uh in molela mwet se ma akmas liki sou lun mwet misa sac, ac elos fah folokunulla nu in siti in molela se ma el tuh kaingla nu we. El fah muta we nwe ke Mwet Tol Fulat se in pacl sac el misa.
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.
26 Mwet se ma akmas ah fin illa liki siti in molela se ma el kaing nu we,
If the murderer be found without the limits of the cities that are appointed for the banished,
27 ac sou lun mwet misa sac fin konalak ac unilya, na foloksak se inge ac tia oaoa in akmas.
And be struck by him that is the avenger of blood: he shall not be guilty that killed him.
28 Mwet se ma akmas el enenu in mutana in siti in molela nwe ke na Mwet Tol Fulat sac misa, na toko el fah ku in folokla nu in acn sel sifacna.
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.
29 Ma sap inge ma nu suwos ac fwilin tulik nutuwos yen nukewa kowos muta we.
These things shall be perpetual, and for an ordinance in all your dwellings.
30 “Sie mwet fin tukakyak ke akmas, na enenu in oasr mwet loh luo ku pus liki, tuh in ku in koneyukyak lah oasr mwatal, ac fal elan misa. Mwet loh sefanna tiana fal in akpwayeye tukak lun akmas.
The murderer shall be punished by witnesses: none shall be condemned upon the evidence of one man.
31 Sie mwet akmas enenu in anwuki. El tia ku in kaingkunla mwe kai se inge el finne sang mani in moli.
You shall not take money of him that is guilty of blood, but he shall die forthwith.
32 Mwet se fin kaingla nu in sie siti in molela, nikmet lela nu sel elan sang mani molel in folok nu acn sel meet liki Mwet Tol Fulat el misa.
The banished and fugitives before the death of the high priest may by no means return into their own cities.
33 Kowos fin oru lumah se inge, kowos ac akfohkfokyela facl ma kowos muta we uh, mweyen akmas uh el akfohkfokyela acn. Mwet akmas sac fin tia misa, na wangin pac sie inkanek in aknasnasyela acn se ma sie mwet el anwuki we.
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.
34 Nikmet akfohkfokyela facl se ma kowos muta we uh, tuh nga LEUM GOD, ac nga muta inmasrlon mwet Israel.”
And thus shall your possession he cleansed, myself abiding with you. For I am the Lord that dwell among the children of Israel.
