Numbers 35

And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

Antan yo nan plenn Moab yo, lòt bò larivyè Jouden, sou bò solèy leve anfas lavil Jeriko, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:

Command 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.

-W'a bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo lòd pou yo pran nan pòsyon tè yo resevwa a kèk lavil pou yo bay moun Levi yo pou yo rete, ansanm ak savann ki toutotou lavil sa yo pou yo ka fè gadinaj.

And 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.

Se nan lavil sa yo moun Levi yo va rete. Savann sa yo va rete pou yo, y'a sèvi pou zannimo yo ak pou tout lòt bèt y'a genyen.

And 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.

Savann yo va toutotou lavil yo. Y'a mezire mil senksan (1.500) pye depi ranpa lavil la nan chak direksyon.

And 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.

Konsa, savann yo va fè yon gwo teren kare kare ki va mezire twamil (3.000) pye sou chak bò: twamil pye sou bò lès, twamil pye sou bò lwès, twamil pye sou bò nò, twamil pye sou bò sid ak lavil la nan mitan l'. Y'a sèvi kote pou bèt moun Levi ki rete nan lavil la jwenn manje.

And 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.

Nan lavil n'a bay moun Levi yo, gen sis ladan yo ki va sèvi pou bay moun ki touye moun pwoteksyon. Apa sis lavil sa yo, n'a bay moun Levi yo karannde lòt lavil ankò.

So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.

Antou, se pou nou bay moun Levi yo karantwit lavil ak tout savann pou bèt yo.

And 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.

Lè n'ap wete nan pòsyon ki pou pèp Izrayèl la lavil pou moun Levi yo, chak fanmi va bay dapre pòsyon tè li te resevwa. Sa ki gen pi gwo pòsyon an va bay plis. Sa ki gen ti pòsyon an va bay mwens.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

-Pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, di yo pou mwen. Lè n'a janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an pou nou antre nan peyi Kanaran an,

Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.

se pou nou chwazi kèk lavil kote yon moun ki touye yon lòt san li pa fè espre ka kouri chache pwoteksyon.

And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.

Se la y'a pwoteje l' anba fanmi mò a ki ta chache tire revanj mò a. Yo p'ap gen dwa touye l' toutotan yo pa jije l' devan tout moun.

And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.

Nan lavil n'a bay moun Levi yo, sis va sèvi pou bay moun konsa pwoteksyon,

Ye 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.

twa lòt bò larivyè Jouden an sou bò solèy leve, twa bò isit nan peyi Kanaran an.

These 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.

Sis lavil sa yo va sèvi ni pou moun peyi a ni pou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou osinon ki depasaj. Se la tout moun ki touye yon lòt san fè espre va kouri chache pwoteksyon.

And 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.

Si yon moun frape yon lòt ak yon bout fè epi li touye l', se ansasen li ye, se pou yo touye l' tou.

And 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.

Si yon moun bay yon lòt yon kout wòch epi li touye l', se ansasen li ye, se pou yo touye l' tou.

Or 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.

Si yon moun bay yon lòt yon kout bwa epi li touye l', se ansasen li ye, se pou yo touye l' tou.

The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.

Moun ki fanmi pi pre moun yo touye a va reskonsab pou li touye ansasen an, nenpòt kilè li bare avè l'.

But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;

Si yon moun rayi yon lòt epi li ba li yon move bourad pou li touye l', osinon si li voye yon bagay dèyè l' pou touye l',

Or 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.

oswa ankò, paske li pa vle wè l' li bat li ak koutpwen pou l' touye l', epi li touye l' vre, li gen pou l' mouri tou. Se yon ansasen li ye. Moun ki fanmi pi pre moun li touye a va reskonsab pou touye l' tou, nenpòt lè li bare avè l'.

But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,

Men, sipoze yon moun bay yon lòt yon move bourad san li pa fè espre, san li pa rayi l', osinon li voye yon bagay konsa konsa, epi l' al pran yon moun move kote san li pa t'ap voye l' dèyè l',

Or 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:

oswa ankò, sipoze li voye yon wòch epi li pa wè sa, wòch la al tonbe sou yon moun, li touye l' frèt, san li pa t' rayi moun lan ni li pa t'ap chache fè moun lan mal,

Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:

nan ka sa yo, men regleman pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo swiv pou yo regle bagay la ant moun ki te touye lòt la ak fanmi pi pre moun mouri a ki reskonsab pou tire revanj la.

And 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.

Pèp la va sove moun ki te touye lòt la anba men fanmi pi pre moun li touye a, l'a fè l' tounen nan lavil kote li te al kache kò l' la. Moun ki te touye lòt la va rete la jouk granprèt ki la lè sa a pou fè sèvis Bondye a va mouri.

But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;

Si moun ki touye lòt la ta rive soti andeyò limit lavil kote li kache a,

And 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:

si moun ki fanmi pi pre moun li touye a bare avè l', epi li touye l', yo pa gen dwa fè fanmi pre a peye pou sa l' fè a.

Because 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.

Paske moun ki touye yon lòt san li pa fè espre a fèt pou rete nan lavil kote li te kache a jouk granprèt ki la lè sa a va mouri. Se apre lanmò granprèt la ase l'a ka tounen lakay li.

So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

Regleman sa yo va sèvi tankou yon lwa pou nou pou tout tan, de pitit an pitit, kote nou pase.

Whoso 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.

Lè yon moun touye yon lòt, anvan yo touye l', se pou yo gen depozisyon divès temwen kont li. Depozisyon yon sèl temwen pa kont pou kondannen yon moun.

Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.

Nou pa gen dwa asepte lajan pou sove lavi yon moun yo kondannen pou mouri paske li touye yon lòt. Wè pa wè se pou nonm sa a mouri.

And 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.

Ni nou pa gen dwa asepte lajan pou penmèt yon moun ki kite lavil kote l' te kache a pou l' al lakay li anvan granprèt ki la lè sa a mouri.

So 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.

Piga nou janm fè bagay ki pou fè Bondye vire do bay peyi kote nou pral viv la. Lè yon moun touye yon lòt moun, se sa k'ap mete peyi a nan kondisyon li derespekte Bondye ak san ki koule a. Lè konsa, pa gen lòt mwayen pou fè Bondye padonnen peyi a pase se touye pou nou touye moun ki touye a.

Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.

Piga nou janm fè bagay ki pou fè Bondye vire do bay peyi kote nou rete a, paske mwen menm Seyè a, se nan mitan moun pèp Izrayèl yo, nan mitan peyi kote yo rete a, mwen rete tou.
