1Again the LORD spoke to Moses on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho:
1Jeriko vangpui maeto bang, Jordan vapui taengah kaom, Moab azawn ah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
2“Command the Israelites to give, from the inheritance they will possess, cities for the Levites to live in and pasturelands around the cities.
2Israel kaminawk mah toep o ih prae thungah Levi kaminawk ohhaih vangpui hoi a taengah kaom ahmuennawk boih to paek ah.
3The cities will be for them to live in, and the pasturelands will be for their herds, their flocks, and all their other livestock.
3Levi kaminawk loe to vangpuinawk thungah om o tih, vangpui taeng ih ahmuennawk loe maitaw, moinawk hoi a tawnh o ih hmuennawk suekhaih ahmuen ah om tih.
4The pasturelands around the cities you are to give the Levites will extend a thousand cubits from the wall on every side.
4Levi kaminawk han paek ih vangpui taeng ih ahmuennawk loe, vangpui sipae hoi dong sangto kawksak han oh.
5You are also to measure two thousand cubits outside the city on the east, two thousand on the south, two thousand on the west, and two thousand on the north, with the city in the center. These areas will serve as larger pasturelands for the cities.
5Vangpui tasa bang hoi aluek, aloih, ni angyae hoi niduem bang to dong sang hnetto kakawk ah tah ah; vangpui loe a um ah om tih; vangpui taeng ih ahmuen loe to tiah om tih.
6Six of the cities you give the Levites are to be appointed as cities of refuge, to which a manslayer may flee. In addition to these, give the Levites forty-two other cities.
6Levi kaminawk han paek ih vangpui taruktonawk loe, kami hum moeng naah abuephaih vangpui ah patoh hanah sah paeh; to vangpuinawk pacoengah kalah vangpui qui pali, hnetto doeh thap paeh.
7The total number of cities you give the Levites will be forty-eight, with their corresponding pasturelands.
7Levinawk na paek han ih vangpuinawk loe qui pali, tazetto om tih; vangpui taeng ih ahmuennawk hoi nawnto paek ah.
8The cities that you apportion from the territory of the Israelites should be given to the Levites in proportion to the inheritance of each tribe: more from a larger tribe and less from a smaller one.”
8To vangpuinawk loe Israel kaminawk mah toep ih ahmuen thung hoiah tapraek paeh; ahmuen kapop ah tawn kami khae hoiah kapop ah la ah loe, ahmuen zetta tawn kami khae hoiah zetta ah la ah; kami boih qawktoep ih ahmuennawk thung hoiah Levinawk hanah paek oh, tiah a naa.
9Then the LORD said to Moses,
9To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
10“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
10Israel kaminawk khaeah hae tiah thui paeh; Kanaan prae ah caeh hanah Jordan vapui to nang kat o naah,
11designate cities to serve as your cities of refuge, so that a person who kills someone unintentionally may flee there.
11poek ai pui hoi kami hum moeng kami loe cawnh moe, abuep hanah vangpui to qoi ah.
12You are to have these cities as a refuge from the avenger, so that the manslayer will not die until he stands trial before the assembly.
12To vangpuinawk loe, poek ai pui hoi kami hum moeng kami, rangpui hma ah lokcaek han angdoe ai karoek to, lu la kami ih ban thung hoiah duek han ai ah, abuephaih vangpui ah om tih.
13The cities you select will be your six cities of refuge.
13To tiah na paek ih vangpui taruktonawk loe na buephaih vangpui ah om tih.
14Select three cities across the Jordan and three in the land of Canaan as cities of refuge.
14Abuep haih hanah Jordan vapui hae bangah vangpui thumto, Kanaan prae ah vangpui thumto sah paeh.
15These six cities will serve as a refuge for the Israelites and for the foreigner or stranger among them, so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there.
15Hae vangpui taruktonawk loe Israel kaminawk, angvinnawk hoi nihcae salakah kaom kaminawk abuephaih ah om tih; poek ai pui hoi kami hum moeng kami loe to vangpui thungah cawnh han oh.
16If, however, anyone strikes a person with an iron object and kills him, he is a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death.
16Kami maeto mah sumboeng hoiah kami to bop maat nahaeloe, anih loe kami humkung ah oh; kami humkung loe paduek han oh.
17Or if anyone has in his hand a stone of deadly size, and he strikes and kills another, he is a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death.
17Kami maeto hum hanah, thlung hoiah va maat nahaeloe, anih loe kami humkung ah oh; kami humkung loe, paduek han oh.
18If anyone has in his hand a deadly object of wood, and he strikes and kills another, he is a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death.
18Kami maeto mah a ban ah sin ih thingboeng hoiah kami to bop maat nahaeloe, anih loe kami humkung ah oh; kami humkung loe paduek han oh.
19The avenger of blood is to put the murderer to death; when he finds him, he is to kill him.
19Athii tho lu la kami mah kami hum kami to hum tih; anih to hnuk naah hum tih.
20Likewise, if anyone maliciously pushes another or intentionally throws an object at him and kills him,
20Kami maeto loe hnukma pongah kami to a thunh maw, to tih ai boeh loe hum hanah angang moe, hmuen maeto hoiah a vah maat maw;
21or if in hostility he strikes him with his hand and he dies, the one who struck him must surely be put to death; he is a murderer. When the avenger of blood finds the murderer, he is to kill him.
21to tih ai boeh loe hnukma pongah ban hoiah a boh naah, kami to dueh ving nahaeloe, to tiah bop kami to paduek han oh.
22But if anyone pushes a person suddenly, without hostility, or throws an object at him unintentionally,
22Toe pacaenghaih om ai ah kami maeto mah poek ai pui hoiah nuih moeng maw, to tih ai boeh loe patoemhaih om ai ah hmuen maeto hoiah vah moeng maw,
23or without looking drops a heavy stone that kills him, but he was not an enemy and did not intend to harm him,
23to tih ai boeh loe anih hoi misa ah om ai, hnukmahaih doeh om ai; to kami to hnu ai pongah thlung hoiah va maat moeng nahaeloe, anih hoi misa ah om ai, hum han pacaenghaih doeh om ai pongah,
24then the congregation must judge between the slayer and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances.
24hae lokcaekhaih daan baktih toengah, athii tho lu la kami hoi kadueh kami salakah rangpui mah lokcaek tih;
25The assembly is to protect the manslayer from the hand of the avenger of blood. Then the assembly will return him to the city of refuge to which he fled, and he must live there until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
25rangpui mah poek ai pui hoiah kami hum moeng kami to athii tho lu la kami ih ban thung hoiah la ueloe, cawnh moe abuep han koi vangpui thungah caehsak tih; anih loe to ahmuen ah kaciim situi hoi bawh ih kalen koek qaima dueh ai karoek to om tih.
26But if the manslayer ever goes outside the limits of the city of refuge to which he fled
26Toe kami hum kami loe abuephaih vangpui tasa bangah tacawt pongah,
27and the avenger of blood finds him outside of his city of refuge and kills him, then the avenger will not be guilty of bloodshed
27athii tho lu la kami mah anih to tasa bangah hnuk naah hum nahaeloe, kami hum pongah zaehaih tawn mak ai;
28because the manslayer must remain in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. Only after the death of the high priest may he return to the land he owns.
28kami hum kami loe kalen koek qaima dueh ai karoek to abuephaih vangpui thungah om tih; kalen koek qaima duek pacoengah ni a ohhaih ahmuen ah amlaem let thai vop tih.
29This will be a statutory ordinance for you for the generations to come, wherever you live.
29Hae loe na ohhaih ahmuen kruekah na caa nawktanawk dung khoek to na pazui o han ih lokcaekhaih daan ah om tih.
30If anyone kills a person, the murderer is to be put to death on the testimony of the witnesses. But no one is to be put to death based on the testimony of a lone witness.
30Kami hum kami loe, kami hum tiah hnukung mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, anih to paduek han oh; toe hnukung maeto khue om nahaeloe anih to paduek han om ai.
31You are not to accept a ransom for the life of a murderer who deserves to die; he must surely be put to death.
31Duek han kaom kami akranghaih phoisa to talawk hmah; anih loe paduek han roe oh.
32Nor should you accept a ransom for the person who flees to a city of refuge and allow him to return and live on his own land before the death of the high priest.
32Kalen koek qaima dueh ai naah, abuephaih vangpui thungah cawn kami mah a ohhaih prae thungah oh thai hanah, paek ih akranghaih phoisa to talawk han om ai.
33Do not pollute the land where you live, for bloodshed pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land on which the blood is shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it.
33Na ohhaih prae to amhnongsak hmah; athii longhaih mah prae to amhnongsak boeh; athii palong kami maeto ih athii longhaih om ai ah loe, angbawnhaih hoiah prae thungah kalong athii to ciimsak thai mak ai.
34Do not defile the land where you live and where I dwell. For I, the LORD, dwell among the Israelites.”
34Kai, Angraeng loe Israel kaminawk salakah ka oh pongah, na oh o haih prae hoi Ka ohhaih prae to amhnong o sak hmah, tiah a naa.
