Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
1Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he fonua tafangafanga ʻo Moape ʻoku ofi ki Sioatani pea ofi ki Seliko, ʻo pehē,
2Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.
2“Fekau ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ke nau foaki ʻae ngaahi kolo ki he kau Livai ke nau nofo ai, mei he ngaahi tofiʻa ʻoku nau maʻu; pea mou foaki foki ki he kau Livai ʻae ngaahi potu fonua ke takatakai ʻae ngaahi kolo.
3And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
3Pea te nau maʻu ʻae ngaahi kolo ke nau nofo ai; pea mo e ngaahi potu fonua ʻoku takatakai ai, ki heʻenau fanga manu, mo ʻenau koloa, mo ʻenau fanga manu kotoa pē.
4And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
4Pea ko e ngaahi potu fonua ʻoe ngaahi kolo, ʻaia te mou foaki ki he kau Livai, ʻe aʻu atu ia mei he ʻā maka ʻoe kolo ʻi he hanga ʻe ua afe ʻo takatakai ia.
5And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
5Pea te mou fuofua mei he tuʻa kolo ki he potu hahake ko e hanga ʻe fā afe, pea mo e potu tonga ʻae hanga ʻe fā afe, pea mo e potu hihifo ʻae hanga ʻe fā afe, pea mo e potu tokelau ʻae hanga ʻe fā afe; ka ʻe tuʻu loto ʻae kolo: pea ʻe tuku ia kiate kinautolu ko e ngaahi potu fonua ʻoe kolo.
6And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.
6Pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo te mou foaki ki he kau Livai, ʻe ʻi ai ʻae kolo hūfanga ʻe ono, ʻaia te mou tuʻutuʻuni ki he tangata kuo faainoa ha tāmate, koeʻuhi ke hola ia ki ai: pea te mou lau foki mo ia ʻae kolo ʻe fāngofulu ma ua.
7So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.
7Pea ko e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻaia te mou foaki ki he kau Livai ko e kolo ʻe fāngofulu ma valu: te mou foaki ia mo hono ngaahi potu fonua.
8And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
8Pea te mou foaki ʻae ngaahi kolo mei he tofiʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: ko kinautolu ʻoku maʻu ʻo lahi ke mou foaki lahi mei ai; ka ko kinautolu ʻoku maʻu ʻo siʻi ke mou foaki siʻi mei ai: ʻe taki taha foaki mei hono ngaahi kolo ki he kau Livai ʻo fakatatau mo e tofiʻa kuo ne maʻu.”
9¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
9¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
10Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
10Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, mo ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻOka mou ka aʻa ʻi Sioatani ki he fonua ko Kēnani;
11Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.
11Te mou toki fakatapui ʻae ngaahi kolo, ko e ngaahi kolo hūfanga moʻomoutolu; koeʻuhi ke hola ki ai ʻae tangata kuo fai ha tāmate, ʻaia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ha tokotaha ʻi heʻene palalīvale.
12And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
12Pea ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko e ngaahi kolo hūfanga mei he tangata totongi; ke ʻoua naʻa mate ʻae tangata ʻoku faainoa ha tāmate, kaeʻoua ke tuʻu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ʻi he fakamaau.
13And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.
13Pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻaia te mou foaki ʻe vahe mei ai ʻae kolo ʻe ono ke hūfanga ʻaki
14Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
14Te mou foaki ʻae kolo ʻe tolu ʻi he kauvai mai ki heni ʻo Sioatani, pea mo e kolo ʻe tolu ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ko e ngaahi kolo hūfanga.
15These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
15Ko e ngaahi kolo ʻe ono ni ʻe hūfanga ʻaki ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, mo e muli mo e ʻāunofo ʻiate kinautolu: koeʻuhi ke hola kotoa pē ki ai ʻaia kuo tāmate ha tokotaha ʻi heʻene faainoa.
16And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
16Pea kapau ʻe taaʻi ia ʻaki ha meʻa ukamea ke mate ai ia, ko e tangata fakapō ia: ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae fakapō.
17And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
17Pea kapau ʻe taaʻi ia ʻi heʻene lisingi ha maka, ke mate ai ia, pea mate ia, ko e tangata fakapō ia: ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae fakapō.
18Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
18Pea kapau te ne taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae ʻakau, ke mate ai ia, pea mate ia, ko e tangata fakapō ia: ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae fakapō.
19The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
19Ko e tangata ʻoku fai ʻae totongi toto ʻe taaʻi ʻe ia ʻae fakapō: ʻi heʻena fetaulaki mo ia, te ne taaʻi ia.
20But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;
20Pea kapau ʻe hokaʻi ia ʻi he ʻita, pe lisi kiate ia ʻi heʻene toitoi, ke mate ai ia;
21Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
21Pe taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻa hono nima ʻi heʻene taufehiʻa, ke mate ai ia: ko e moʻoni ko ia naʻa ne taaʻi ia ʻe tāmateʻi ia; he ko e fakapō ia: pea ʻe taaʻi ʻae fakapō ʻe he tangata ʻoku fai ʻae totongi toto, ʻi heʻena fetaulaki mo ia.
22But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,
22Pea kapau ʻe hokaʻi fakafokifā ia ka ʻoku ʻikai taufehiʻa, pe lisi ha meʻa ʻe taha kiate ia ka ʻoku ʻikai toitoi,
23Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
23Pe ha maka, ke mate ai ia, ka ʻoku ʻikai mamata kiate ia, kae lisi ia kiate ia pea ne mate ai ia, ka naʻe ʻikai ko hono fili, pea naʻe ʻikai kumi ia ke fai ha meʻa kovi kiate ia:
24Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:
24Pea ʻe toki fakamaau ʻe he kakai ki he tangata fakapō mo e tangata ʻoku fai ʻae totongi toto ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi fono ni:
25And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
25Pea ʻe fakamoʻui ʻe he kakai ʻaia kuo faainoa ʻae tāmate mei he nima ʻoe tangata ʻoku fai ʻae totongi toto, pea tenau toe ʻave ia ki hono kolo hūfanga, ʻaia naʻe hola ki ai: pea ʻe nofo ai ia ʻo aʻu ki he pekia ʻae fungani taulaʻeiki, ʻaia naʻe fakanofo ʻaki ʻoe lolo tapu.
26But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
26Pea kapau ʻe haʻu ʻae tangata kuo faainoa ha tāmate kituaʻā ʻi he veʻe kolo ʻo hono hūfanga, ʻaia naʻe hola ia ki ai;
27And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
27Pea ka ʻilo ia ʻe he tangata ʻoku fai ʻae totongi toto, ʻi heʻene ʻi tuaʻā ʻi he veʻe kolo ʻo hono hūfanga, pea kapau ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae tāmate faainoa ʻe he totongi toto; ʻe ʻikai halaia ia ʻi hono toto:
28Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
28He naʻe totonu ʻa ʻene nofo ia ʻi he kolo ʻo hono hūfanga ʻo aʻu ki he pekia ʻae fungani taulaʻeiki: pea ka hili ʻae pekia ʻae fungani taulaʻeiki ʻe foki ʻae tangata naʻe faainoa ha tāmate ki he fonua ʻo hono tofiʻa.
29So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
29Pea ko e ngaahi meʻa ni ko e fono ʻoe fakamaau kiate kimoutolu ʻi homou ngaahi toʻutangata mo homou ngaahi tofiʻa kotoa pē.
30Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.
30Ko ia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ha tokotaha, ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae fakapō ko ia ʻi he fakamoʻoni ʻoe kau fakamoʻoni: ka ʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ha tokotaha ʻi he fakaʻilo ʻe he fakamoʻoni ʻo ha tokotaha pe.
31Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
31Pea ʻe ʻikai foki te mou maʻu ha totongi kae moʻui ʻae fakapō, ʻaia ʻoku halaia ʻi heʻene tāmate: ka ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ia.
32And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
32Pea ʻe ʻikai te mou maʻu ʻae totongi koeʻuhi ko ia kuo hola ki he kolo ko hono hūfanga, ke toe ʻomi ia ke nofo ʻi he fonua, kaeʻoua ke pekia ʻae taulaʻeiki.
33So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
33Pea ko ia, ʻe ʻikai te mou fakaʻuli ʻae fonua ʻoku mou ʻi ai: he ʻoku fakaʻuli ʻe he toto ʻae fonua: pea ʻe ʻikai fakamaʻa ʻae fonua ʻi he toto kuo lilingi ʻi ai, ka ʻi he toto ʻo ia naʻa ne lilingi ia.
34Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
34Ko ia ʻoua naʻa mou fakaʻuli ʻae fonua ʻaia te mou nofo ai, he ʻoku ou nofo ai: he ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou nofo mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”
