Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1When the Lord thy God hath destroyed the nations, whose land he will deliver to thee, and thou shalt possess it, and shalt dwell in the cities and houses thereof:
1“Tukun LEUM GOD lowos el kunausla mwet ma la acn El ac asot nu suwos, ac tukun kowos eis siti selos ac lohm selos ac oakwuki we,
2Thou shalt separate to thee three cities in the midst of the land, which the Lord will give thee in possession,
2kowos fah srela tolu siti an ke facl se su LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos.
3Paving diligently the way: and thou shalt divide the whole province of thy land equally into three parts: that he who is forced to flee for manslaughter, may have near at hand whither to escape.
3Kowos fah srikeya facl sac, ac kitalik nu ke ip tolu — kais sie ip inge in oasr siti in molela se we ma ac firsrasr nu sin sie mwet in kaing nu we. Na fin sie mwet el uniya sie pacna mwet, el ac ku in kaing ac moulla we.
4This shall be the law of the slayer that fleeth, whose life is to be saved: He that killeth his neighbour ignorantly, and who is proved to have had no hatred against him yesterday and the day before:
4“Sie mwet fin ongla ouiya uniya sie mwet su tia mwet lokoalok lal, na el ku in kaing nu in sie sin siti inge ac moulla.
5But to have gone with him to the wood to hew wood, and in cutting down the tree the axe slipped out of his hand, and the iron slipping from the handle struck his friend, and killed him: he shall flee to one of the cities aforesaid, and live:
5Fin pa mwet luo tukeni som nu insak uh in pakpuk sak, na sie seltal paki sak soko, ac mutun tuhla ah tufwacla liki fung ah, ac uniya mwet se ngia, el ku in kasrusr nu in sie sin siti tolu an ac moulla.
6Lest perhaps the next kinsman of him whose blood was shed, pushed on by his grief should pursue, and apprehend him. if the way be too long, and take away the life of him who is not guilty of death, because he is proved to have had no hatred before against him that was slain.
6Fin siti sefanna, ac ku in arulana loesla, pwanang mwet se ma suk in foloksak ke misa sac ac ku in sruokilya, ac in kasrkusrak lal el uniya sie mwet wangin mwata. Wangin mwatal mweyen el tia oru in ouiya, ac mwet sac tia pac mwet lokoalok lal.
7Therefore I command thee, that thou separate three cities at equal distance one from another.
7Pa inge sripa se sis nga sapkin kowos in srela siti in molela tolu.
8And when the Lord thy God shall have enlarged thy borders, as he swore to thy fathers, and shall give thee all the land that he promised them,
8“Pacl LEUM GOD lowos El ac akyokyelik facl suwos, oana ke El tuh fahk nu sin papa matu tomowos mu El ac oru, ac sot nu suwos acn nukewa El tuh wulela kac,
9(Yet so, if thou keep his commandments, and do the things which I command thee this day, that thou love the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways at all times) thou shalt add to thee other three cities, and shalt double the number of the three cities aforesaid:
9na kowos fah sulela tolu pac siti an. (El ac sot nu suwos facl inge kowos fin oru ma nukewa ma nga sapkin nu suwos misenge, ac kowos fin lungse LEUM GOD lowos, ac moul fal nu ke mwe luti lal.)
10That innocent blood may not be shed in the midst of the land which the Lord thy God will give thee to possess, lest thou be guilty of blood.
10Oru ma inge, tuh mwet su wangin mwata fah tia misa, ac in wangin pac mwatuwos ke sripen mwet se ma wangin mwata tiana anwuki in facl se ma LEUM GOD El sot nu suwos.
11But if any man hating his neighbour, lie in wait for his life, and rise and strike him, and he die, and he flee to one of the cities aforesaid,
11“Tusruktu, fin pa sie mwet el nuna oru elan akmuseya mwet lokoalok se lal, ac el kaing nu in sie siti ingo elan moulla.
12The ancients of his city shall send, and take him out of the place of refuge, and shall deliver him into the hand of the kinsman of him whose blood was shed, and he shall die.
12Ke lumah ouinge, na mwet kol lun siti sel sifacna ac fah sap in utuku el, ac eisalang nu inpoun mwet foloksak ke akmas, tuh elan anwuki.
13Thou shalt not pity him, and thou shalt take away the guilt of innocent blood out of Israel, that it may be well with thee.
13Kowos fah tia pakomutal. Sisla mwet akmas se inge liki Israel tuh ma nukewa in wo nu suwos.
14Thou shalt not take nor remove thy neighbour’s landmark, which thy predecessors have set in thy possession. which the Lord thy God will give thee in the land that thou shalt receive to possess.
14“Kowos in tia mokle masrol ke acn lun mwet tulan lowos, ma oakwuki in pacl oemeet me in facl se su LEUM GOD lowos El asot nu suwos.
15One witness shall not rise up against any man, whatsoever the sin or wickedness be: but in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall stand.
15“Mwet loh sefanna tia fal in akkeyala lah oasr mwatan sie mwet ke kutena ma koluk ku ma sutuu. Enenu na in oasr mwet loh luo, ku pus liki, in akpwayeye lah oasr mwatan mwet se.
16If a lying witness stand against a man, accusing him of transgression,
16Sie mwet fin srike in akkolukye sie pac mwet ke el orek loh kikiap mu mwet sac orala ma koluk se,
17Both of them, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the Lord in the sight of the priests and the judges that shall be in those days.
17eltal na kewa enenu in som nu ke acn in alu se ma solla, tuh in nununkeyuk eltal sin mwet tol ac mwet nununku su orekma in pacl sac.
18And when after most diligent inquisition, they shall find that the false witness hath told a lie against his brother:
18Mwet nununku elos fah sokak akwoya lah mea sripen tukak sac. Mwet se ma tukak lain mwet Israel se wial fin sutuu,
19They shall render to him as he meant to do to his brother, and thou shalt take away the evil out of the midst of thee:
19el pa ac eis kaiyuk ma akoeyuk nu sin mwet tukakyak sac. In ouiya se inge kowos ac fah sisla ma koluk se inge liki inmasrlowos.
20That others hearing may fear, and may not dare to do such things.
20Na mwet nukewa fah lohng ke ma sikyak inge, ac elos ac fah sangengla ac wangin mwet ac fah sifil oru ouiya koluk se inge.
21Thou shalt not pity him, but shalt require life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
21Kowos in tiana pakomuta. Kaiyuk nu ke ouiya sie inge pa: moul molin moul, atronmuta molin atronmuta, wihs molin wihs, pao molin pao, nia molin nia.
