< Joshua 20 >

1 The Lord also spake vnto Ioshua, saying,
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua,
2 Speake to the children of Israel, and say, Appoint you cities of refuge, whereof I spake vnto you by the hand of Moses,
“Fahk nu sin mwet Israel elos in sulela siti in molela oana ke nga tuh fahk Moses elan fahkot nu sum.
3 That the slaier that killeth any person by ignorance, and vnwittingly, may flee thither, and they shall be your refuge from the auenger of blood.
Fin oasr mwet se uniya sie mwet ke tia ma el akoo in orala a ma ke ongla ouiya, elan ku in kaingla nu we ac suk molela liki mwet se ma suk in foloksak nu sel an.
4 And he that doeth flee vnto one of those cities, shall stand at the entring of the gate of the citie, and shall shewe his cause to the Elders of the citie: and they shall receiue him into the citie vnto them, and giue him a place, that hee may dwell with them.
El fin kaingla nu in sie siti inge, el enenu in tui ke acn in nununku ke acn in utyak an, ac fahkak ma se el orala an nu sin mwet kol in siti sacn. Na elos fah ku in eisal nu in siti sac ac sang sie acn elan muta we.
5 And if the auenger of blood pursue after him, they shall not deliuer the slaier into his hand because hee smote his neighbour ignorantly, neither hated he him before time:
Mwet sukok foloksak inge fin ukwal nu in acn sac, na mwet in siti sac elos tia ku in eisalang nu sel mweyen inkanek in ongla ouiya se pa el tuh eisla moul lun mwet sac kac ah, ac tia ma el akola sel in oru.
6 But hee shall dwell in that citie vntill hee stande before the Congregation in iudgement, or vntill the death of the hie Priest that shall be in those daies: then shall the slaier returne, and come vnto his owne citie, and vnto his owne house, euen vnto the citie from whence he fled.
Mwet sac enenu in mutana in siti sac nwe ke na orekla nununku nu sel sin mwet kol in acn sac, ac nwe ke na Mwet Tol Fulat se lun Israel in pacl sac el misa. Tukun pacl se inge, na mwet sacn fah ku in folokla nu in acn sel ma el kaingla we me.”
7 Then they appointed Kedesh in Galil in mount Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba, (which is Hebron) in the mountaine of Iudah.
Ouinge elos sulela acn Kedesh in Galilee ke fineol in acn lal Naphtali, ac Shechem ke fineol in acn lal Ephraim, ac Hebron (Kiriath-arba) ke fineol in acn lal Judah. Siti inge kewa oan roto in Infacl Jordan.
8 And on the other side Iorden toward Iericho Eastward, they appoynted Bezer in the wildernesse vpon the plaine, 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.
Elos sulela Bezer in acn mwesis lal Reuben, ac Ramoth in Gilead in acn lal Gad, ac Golan in Bashan in acn lal Manasseh. Siti inge kewa oan kutulap in Infacl Jordan ke acn tupasrpasr ke fineol kutulap in Jericho.
9 These were the cities appoynted for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that soiourned among them, that whosoeuer killed any person ignorantly, might flee thither, and not die by the hande of the auenger of blood, vntill hee stoode before the Congregation.
Kutena sin mwet Israel, ku mwetsac su muta inmasrlolos, fin eisla moul lun sie mwet ke ongla ouiya, el ku in kaingla nu in sie sin siti inge, na ac tia anwuki el sin mwet ma suk in foloksak nu sel meet liki nununkeyuk el yurin mwet kol in acn sac.
