< Numbers 35 >

1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses in the plaine of Moab by Iorden, toward Iericho, 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:
2 Commande ye children of Israel, that they giue vnto the Leuites of the inheritace of their possession, cities to dwell in: yee shall giue also vnto the Leuites the suburbes of 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.
3 So they shall haue the cities to dwell in, and their suburbes shall be for their cattell, and for their substance, 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.
4 And the suburbes of the cities, which ye shall giue vnto the Leuites, from the wall of the citie outward, shalbe a thousand cubites round about.
Savann yo va toutotou lavil yo. Y'a mezire mil senksan (1.500) pye depi ranpa lavil la nan chak direksyon.
5 And yee shall measure without the citie of the Eastside, two thousand cubites: and of the Southside, two thousand cubites: and of the Westside, two thousand cubites: and of ye Northside, two thousand cubites: and the citie shalbe in ye middes. this shalbe the measure of the suburbes of their 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.
6 And of the cities which yee shall giue vnto the Leuites, there shalbe sixe cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint, that he which killeth, may flee thither: and to them yee shall adde two and fourtie cities more.
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.
7 All the cities which yee shall giue to the Leuites, shalbe eight and fourtie cities: them shall ye giue with their suburbes.
Antou, se pou nou bay moun Levi yo karantwit lavil ak tout savann pou bèt yo.
8 And concerning the cities which yee shall giue, of the possession of the children of Israel: of many ye shall take more, and of few ye shall take lesse: euery one shall giue of his cities vnto the Leuites, according to his inheritance, which hee 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.
9 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
10 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When ye be come ouer Iorden 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,
11 Ye shall appoint you cities, to bee cities of refuge for you, that the slayer, which slayeth any person vnwares, may flee thither.
se pou nou chwazi kèk lavil kote yon moun ki touye yon lòt san li pa fè espre ka kouri chache pwoteksyon.
12 And these cities shalbe for you a refuge from the auenger, that he which killeth, die not, vntill he stand before the Congregation in iudgement.
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.
13 And of the cities which ye shall giue, sixe cities shall ye haue for refuge.
Nan lavil n'a bay moun Levi yo, sis va sèvi pou bay moun konsa pwoteksyon,
14 Ye shall appoint three on this side Iorden, and ye shall appoint three cities in the lande of Canaan which shalbe cities of refuge.
twa lòt bò larivyè Jouden an sou bò solèy leve, twa bò isit nan peyi Kanaran an.
15 These six cities shalbe a refuge for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for him that dwelleth among you, that euery one which killeth any person vnwares, 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.
16 And if one smite another with an instrument of yron that hee die, hee is a murtherer, and the murtherer shall die the 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.
17 Also if hee smite him by casting a stone, wherewith hee may be slaine, and he die, hee is a murtherer, and the murtherer shall die the death.
Si yon moun bay yon lòt yon kout wòch epi li touye l', se ansasen li ye, se pou yo touye l' tou.
18 Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may be slaine, if he die, he is a murtherer, and the murtherer shall die the death.
Si yon moun bay yon lòt yon kout bwa epi li touye l', se ansasen li ye, se pou yo touye l' tou.
19 The reuenger of the blood himselfe shall slay the murtherer: 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'.
20 But if hee thrust him of hate, or hurle 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',
21 Or smite him through enimitie with his hand, that he die, he that smote him shall die ye death: for hee is a murtherer: the reuenger of the blood shall slay the murtherer 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'.
22 But if he pusshed him vnaduisedly, and not of hatred, or cast vpon him any thing, without laying of waite,
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',
23 Or any stone (whereby he might be slaine) and sawe him not, or caused it to fall vpon him, and he die, and was not his enemie, neither sought him any harme,
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,
24 Then the Congregation shall iudge betweene the slayer and the auenger of blood according to these lawes.
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.
25 And the Congregation shall deliuer the slayer out of the hande of the auenger of blood, and the Congregation shall restore him vnto the citie of his refuge, whither hee was fled: and hee shall abide there vnto the death of the hie Priest, which is anointed with the holy oyle.
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.
26 But if the slayer come without the borders of the citie of his refuge, whither he was fled,
Si moun ki touye lòt la ta rive soti andeyò limit lavil kote li kache a,
27 And the reuenger of blood finde him without the borders of the citie of his refuge, and the reueger of blood slay ye murtherer, he shalbe giltles,
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.
28 Because he should haue remained in the citie of his refuge, vntill the death of the hie Priest: and after the death of the hie Priest, the slayer shall returne vnto 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.
29 So these thinges shall be a lawe of iudgement vnto 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.
30 Whosoeuer killeth any person, the Iudge shall slay the murtherer, through witnesses: but one witnesse shall not testifie against a 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.
31 Moreouer ye shall take no recompense for the life of the murtherer, which is worthy to die: but he shalbe 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.
32 Also ye shall take no recompense for him that is fled to the citie of his refuge, that he should come againe, and dwell in the lande, before the death of the hie 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.
33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye shall dwell: for blood defileth the land: and the land cannot be clensed 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.
34 Defile not therefore the lande which yee shall inhabite, For I dwell in the middes thereof: for I the Lord dwel 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.
