1Jeriko vangpui maeto bang, Jordan vapui taengah kaom, Moab azawn ah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
1And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying:
2Israel kaminawk mah toep o ih prae thungah Levi kaminawk ohhaih vangpui hoi a taengah kaom ahmuennawk boih to paek ah.
2'Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and open land round about the cities shall ye give unto the Levites.
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.
3And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and their open land shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and for all their beasts.
4Levi kaminawk han paek ih vangpui taeng ih ahmuennawk loe, vangpui sipae hoi dong sangto kawksak han oh.
4And the open land about the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
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.
5And 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 open land about the 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.
6And 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.
7Levinawk na paek han ih vangpuinawk loe qui pali, tazetto om tih; vangpui taeng ih ahmuennawk hoi nawnto paek ah.
7All the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with the open land about them.
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.
8And 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; each tribe according to its inheritance which it inheriteth shall give of its cities unto the Levites.'
9To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
9And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
10Israel kaminawk khaeah hae tiah thui paeh; Kanaan prae ah caeh hanah Jordan vapui to nang kat o naah,
10'Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
11poek ai pui hoi kami hum moeng kami loe cawnh moe, abuep hanah vangpui to qoi ah.
11then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer that killeth any person through error may flee thither.
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.
12And the cities shall be unto you for refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation for judgment.
13To tiah na paek ih vangpui taruktonawk loe na buephaih vangpui ah om tih.
13And as to the cities which ye shall give, there shall be for you six cities of refuge.
14Abuep haih hanah Jordan vapui hae bangah vangpui thumto, Kanaan prae ah vangpui thumto sah paeh.
14Ye shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge.
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.
15For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the settler among them, shall these six cities be for refuge, that every one that killeth any person through error may flee thither.
16Kami maeto mah sumboeng hoiah kami to bop maat nahaeloe, anih loe kami humkung ah oh; kami humkung loe paduek han oh.
16But if he smote him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall 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.
17And if he smote him with a stone in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall 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.
18Or if he smote him with a weapon of wood in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.
19Athii tho lu la kami mah kami hum kami to hum tih; anih to hnuk naah hum tih.
19The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death; when he meeteth him, he shall put him to death.
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;
20And if he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him any thing, lying in wait, so that he died;
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.
21or in enmity smote him with his hand, that he died; he that smote him shall surely be put to death: he is a murderer; the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death when he meeteth him.
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,
22But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled upon him any thing without lying in wait,
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,
23or 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;
24hae lokcaekhaih daan baktih toengah, athii tho lu la kami hoi kadueh kami salakah rangpui mah lokcaek tih;
24then the congregation shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances;
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.
25and 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, who was anointed with the holy oil.
26Toe kami hum kami loe abuephaih vangpui tasa bangah tacawt pongah,
26But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, whither he fleeth;
27athii tho lu la kami mah anih to tasa bangah hnuk naah hum nahaeloe, kami hum pongah zaehaih tawn mak ai;
27and the avenger of blood find him without the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood slay the manslayer; there shall be no bloodguiltiness for him;
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.
28because he must remain in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest; but after the death of the high priest the manslayer may return into the land of his possession.
29Hae loe na ohhaih ahmuen kruekah na caa nawktanawk dung khoek to na pazui o han ih lokcaekhaih daan ah om tih.
29And these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
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.
30Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses; but one witness shall not testify against any person that he die.
31Duek han kaom kami akranghaih phoisa to talawk hmah; anih loe paduek han roe oh.
31Moreover ye shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer, that is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death.
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.
32And 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.
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.
33So 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.
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.
34And 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.'
