< Joshua 20 >

1 And the Lord said to Joshua,
Ket kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Josue,
2 Say to the children of Israel, Let certain towns be marked out as safe places, as I said to you by the mouth of Moses,
“Agsaoka kadagiti tattao ti Israel, a kunaem, 'Mangitudingkayo kadagiti siudad a pagkamangan a kas insaok kadakayo babaen iti ima ni Moises.
3 So that any man who in error and without design has taken the life of another, may go in flight to them: and they will be safe places for you from him who has the right of punishment for blood.
Aramidenyo daytoy tapno mabalin a mapan sadiay ti tao a nakapatay a saanna nga inggagara. Agbalinto a pagkamangan dagitoy a siudad manipud iti siasinoman a mangibales ti dara ti tao a napapatay.
4 And if anyone goes in flight to one of those towns, and comes into the public place of the town, and puts his cause before the responsible men of the town, they will take him into the town and give him a place among them where he may be safe.
Tumarayto isuna iti maysa kadagiti siudad ken tumakderto isuna iti pagserkan ti ruangan ti siudad, ket ilawlawagnanto ti kasasaadna kadagiti panglakayen iti dayta a siudad. Ket pastrekendanto isuna iti siudad ken ikkandanto isuna iti lugar a pakipagnaedanna kadakuada.
5 And if the one who has the right of punishment comes after him, they are not to give the taker of life up to him; because he was the cause of his neighbour's death without designing it and not in hate.
Ket no umay ti tao a mangpadas a mangibales iti dara ti napapatay a tao, masapul a saan nga iyawat dagiti tattao iti siudad ti tao a nakapatay kenkuana. Masapul a saanda nga aramiden daytoy, gapu ta saanna nga inggagara a pinapatay ti karrubana ken awan ti gurana kenkuana iti napalabas.
6 And he is to go on living in that town till he has to come before the meeting of the people to be judged; (till the death of him who is high priest at that time: ) then the taker of life may come back to his town and to his house, to the town from which he had gone in flight.
Masapul nga agtalinaed isuna iti dayta a siudad agingga a tumakder isuna iti sangoanan ti taripnong para iti pannakaikeddeng, agingga iti ipapatay ti tao nga agserserbi a kas nangato a padi kadagidiay nga al-aldaw. Ket mabalinen nga agsubli ti tao a nakapatay iti tao a saanna nga inggagara iti bukodna nga ili ken iti bukodna a pagtaengan, ti ili a pinanawanna.”
7 So they made selection of Kedesh in Galilee in the hill-country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (which is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah.
Isu a pinili dagiti Israelita ti Kedes idiay Galilea iti katurturodan a pagilian ti Neftali, Sikem iti katurturodan a pagilian ti Efraim, ken Kiriat Arba (nga isu met laeng ti Hebron) iti katurturodan a pagilian ti Juda.
8 And on the east side of Jordan at Jericho, they made selection of Bezer in the waste land, in the table-land, out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.
Iti ballasiw ti Jordan a dayaen ti Jerico, pinilida ti Bezer idiay let-ang idiay kapatadan iti tribu ti Ruben; Ramot iti Galaad, manipud iti tribu ti Gad; ken Golan iti Basan, manipud iti tribu ti Manases.
9 These were the towns marked out for all the children of Israel and for the man from a strange country living among them, so that anyone causing the death of another in error, might go in flight there, and not be put to death by him who has the right of punishment for blood till he had come before the meeting of the people.
Napili dagitoy a siudad para kadagiti amin a tattao ti Israel ken para kadagiti ganggannaet a makipagnanaed kadakuada, tapno mabalin a tumaray kadagitoy ti siasinoman a pimmatay iti tao a saanna nga inggagara para iti talged. Saan a mabalin a matay daytoy a tao iti ima ti tao a mangibales ti nagsayasay a dara, agingga a tumakder nga umuna ti napabasol a tao iti sangoanan ti taripnong.
