Magaalooyinka La Siiyo Reer Laawi

35 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse kula hadlay bannaankii Moo'aab oo Webi Urdun u dhowaa ee Yerixoo ka soo hor jeeday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaad reer binu Israa'iil ku amartaa inay dhaxalkooda hantida ah reer Laawi ka siiyaan magaalooyin ay degaan, oo magaalooyinkaas agagaarkooda ku wareegsanna reer Laawi siiya. Oo magaalooyinka iyagaa lahaanayaan inay degaan, agagaarkooduna waxay u ahaan doonaan lo'dooda, iyo alaabtooda, iyo xoolahooda oo dhan. Oo magaalooyinka aad reer Laawi siin doontaan agagaarkooda ha laga bilaabo magaalo kasta derbigeeda, oo dibadda ha uga baxo kun dhudhun oo hareeraheeda ku wareegsan ah. Oo magaalada dibaddeeda waa inaad ka qiyaastaan xagga bari laba kun oo dhudhun, dhanka koonfureedna waa inaad ka qiyaastaan laba kun oo dhudhun, dhanka galbeedna waa inaad ka qiyaastaan laba kun oo dhudhun, dhanka woqooyina waa inaad ka qiyaastaan laba kun oo dhudhun, oo magaaladuna dhexda ha ahaato. Oo intaasaa iyaga u ahaan doonta agagaarka magaalooyinka.

Magaalooyinkii Magangalka

Oo magaalooyinka aad reer Laawi siin doontaan waxay ahaan doonaan lixda magaalo oo magangalka ah oo aad siin doontaan si uu gacankudhiigluhu ugu cararo, oo kuwaas mooyaane waxaad kaloo iyaga siisaan laba iyo afartan magaalo. Oo magaalooyinka aad reer Laawi siin doontaan oo dhammu waxay ahaan doonaan siddeed iyo afartan magaalo, oo waxaad siin doontaan iyaga iyo agagaarkoodaba. Oo waxa ku saabsan magaalooyinka aad reer Laawi hantida uga siin doontaan reer binu Israa'iil waa sidan, waa inaad kuwii badan magaalooyin badan ka qaaddaan, kuwii yarna waa inaad magaalooyin yar ka qaaddaan, oo mid waluba dhaxalkiisii uu dhaxlay magaalooyinkiisa reer Laawi wax ha ka siiyo.

Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, 10 Reer binu Israa'iil la hadal, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Markaad Webi Urdun dhaaftaan oo aad gashaan dalka Kancaan, 11 waa inaad doorataan magaalooyin idiin ahaada magaalooyin aad magan gashaan, si uu gacankudhiigluhu qof kama' u dilaa halkaas ugu cararo. 12 Oo magaalooyinkaasu waxay idiin ahaan doonaan meel aad ka magan gashaan kan aardoonka ah, si uusan gacankudhiigluhu u dhiman intuusan shirka hortiisa xukun isu soo taagin. 13 Oo magaalooyinka aad bixin doontaan waxay idiin ahaan doonaan lix magaalo oo magangal ah. 14 Oo Webi Urdun shishadiisa waa inaad ka bixisaan saddex magaalo, dalka Kancaanna waa inaad ka bixisaan saddex magaalo, oo iyagu waa inay ahaadaan magaalooyin magangal ah. 15 Oo lixdaas magaalo waxaa magangeli doona reer binu Israa'iil iyo shisheeyaha iyo qariibka iyaga dhex deggan, si uu ku alla kii qof kama' u dilaa ugu cararo. 16 Laakiinse hadduu wax bir ah ku dhufto, oo uu sidaas ku dhinto, markaas isagu waa gacankudhiigle, oo gacankudhiiglaha hubaal waa in la dilaa. 17 Oo hadduu ku dhufto dhagax uu gacanta ku haysto oo qof u dhiman karo, oo uu sidaas ku dhinto, markaas isagu waa gacankudhiigle, oo gacankudhiiglaha hubaal waa in la dilaa. 18 Amase hadduu ku dhufto hub qori ah oo uu gacanta ku haysto oo qof u dhiman karo, oo uu sidaas ku dhinto, markaas isagu waa gacankudhiigle, oo gacankudhiiglaha hubaal waa in la dilaa. 19 Oo aardoonka dhiigga doonayaa qudhiisu ha dilo gacankudhiiglaha. Markuu isaga helo ha dilo. 20 Oo hadduu nacayb aawadiis u riixdo, ama intuu u gabbado uu wax ku tuuro, oo uu markaas dhinto, 21 amase hadduu cadownimo aawadeed gacanta ugu dhufto, oo uu sidaas ku dhinto, kii wax ku dhuftay hubaal waa in la dilaa, waayo, isagu waa gacankudhiigle, oo aardoonka dhiigga doonayaa gacankudhiiglaha ha dilo markuu helo. 22 Laakiinse hadduu kama' u riixo isagoo aan cadownimo ku jirin, amase uu wax ku tuuro isagoo aan u gabban, 23 amase hadduu ku dhufto dhagax qof u dhiman karo, oo isagoo aan arkayn uu ku tuuro, oo uu sidaas ku dhinto, oo hadduusan cadowgiis ahayn ama uusan waxyeelladiisa doondoonayn, 24 markaas kii wax dilay iyo kan ah aardoonka dhiigga doonayo, shirku waa inuu ugu kala garsooraa sida xukummadanu yihiin. 25 Oo shirku waa inuu gacankudhiiglaha ka samatabbixiyaa gacanta kan ah aardoonka dhiigga doonayo, oo shirku waa inuu isaga ku celiyaa magaaladiisii uu magangalay, oo uu ku cararay, oo isagu waa inuu halkaas degganaado jeer uu dhinto wadaadka sare oo lagu subkay saliiddii quduuska ahayd. 26 Laakiinse gacankudhiigluhu mar kasta ha ahaatee hadduu ka gudbo soohdinta magaaladiisii uu magangalay oo uu ku cararay, 27 oo markaas kii ahaa aardoonka dhiigga doonayo uu ka helo meel dibadda ka ah soohdinta magaaladiisii uu magangalay, kolkaas kii ahaa aardoonka dhiigga doonayo hadduu gacankudhiiglaha dilo, isagu ma ahaan doono mid dhiig qaba, 28 waayo, waxaa isaga waajib ku ahaa inuu iska joogo magaaladiisii uu magangalay ilamaa uu wadaadka sare dhinto, laakiinse markuu wadaadka sare dhinto gacankudhiigluhu waa inuu markaas dabadeed ku noqdo dalkiisii hantida u ahaa. 29 Oo waxyaalahanu waa inay qaynuun xukun ah degmooyinkiinna oo dhan idiinku ahaadaan ab ka abkiin. 30 Ku alla kii qof dila, gacankudhiiglaha waa in la dilaa markii lagu marag furo, laakiinse qofnaba yaan lagu dilin markhaati keliya maragfurkiis. 31 Oo weliba waa inaydaan innaba furan nafta gacankudhiigle dhimasho lagu xukumay, laakiinse hubaal waa in la dilaa. 32 Oo weliba waa inaydaan furan kii ku cararay magaaladiisa magangalka ah, si uu ugu noqdo oo uu u dego dalkiisa ilamaa uu wadaadka sare dhinto. 33 Dalka aad deggan tihiin waa inaydaan nijaasayn, waayo, dhiigu dalka waa nijaaseeyaa, oo dalka dhiiggii lagu dhex daadshay wax loogu kafaaro gudi karo lama arko, dhiigga kii daadshay mooyaane. 34 Oo waa inaydaan nijaasayn dalka aad dhex deggan tihiin, oo anna aan dhexdiisa degganahay, waayo, aniga Rabbiga ahu waxaan dhex degganahay reer binu Israa'iil.

Towns for the Levites

35 On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho,(A) the Lord said to Moses, “Command the Israelites to give the Levites towns to live in(B) from the inheritance the Israelites will possess. And give them pasturelands(C) around the towns. Then they will have towns to live in and pasturelands for the cattle they own and all their other animals.(D)

“The pasturelands around the towns that you give the Levites will extend a thousand cubits[a] from the town wall. Outside the town, measure two thousand cubits[b](E) on the east side, two thousand on the south side, two thousand on the west and two thousand on the north, with the town in the center. They will have this area as pastureland for the towns.(F)

Cities of Refuge(G)

“Six of the towns you give the Levites will be cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone may flee.(H) In addition, give them forty-two other towns. In all you must give the Levites forty-eight towns, together with their pasturelands. The towns you give the Levites from the land the Israelites possess are to be given in proportion to the inheritance of each tribe: Take many towns from a tribe that has many, but few from one that has few.”(I)

Then the Lord said to Moses: 10 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you cross the Jordan into Canaan,(J) 11 select some towns to be your cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone(K) accidentally(L) may flee. 12 They will be places of refuge from the avenger,(M) so that anyone accused of murder(N) may not die before they stand trial before the assembly.(O) 13 These six towns you give will be your cities of refuge.(P) 14 Give three on this side of the Jordan and three in Canaan as cities of refuge. 15 These six towns will be a place of refuge for Israelites and for foreigners residing among them, so that anyone who has killed another accidentally can flee there.

16 “‘If anyone strikes someone a fatal blow with an iron object, that person is a murderer; the murderer is to be put to death.(Q) 17 Or if anyone is holding a stone and strikes someone a fatal blow with it, that person is a murderer; the murderer is to be put to death. 18 Or if anyone is holding a wooden object and strikes someone a fatal blow with it, that person is a murderer; the murderer is to be put to death. 19 The avenger of blood(R) shall put the murderer to death; when the avenger comes upon the murderer, the avenger shall put the murderer to death.(S) 20 If anyone with malice aforethought shoves another or throws something at them intentionally(T) so that they die 21 or if out of enmity one person hits another with their fist so that the other dies, that person is to be put to death;(U) that person is a murderer. The avenger of blood(V) shall put the murderer to death when they meet.

22 “‘But if without enmity someone suddenly pushes another or throws something at them unintentionally(W) 23 or, without seeing them, drops on them a stone heavy enough to kill them, and they die, then since that other person was not an enemy and no harm was intended, 24 the assembly(X) must judge between the accused and the avenger of blood according to these regulations. 25 The assembly must protect the one accused of murder from the avenger of blood and send the accused back to the city of refuge to which they fled. The accused must stay there until the death of the high priest,(Y) who was anointed(Z) with the holy oil.(AA)

26 “‘But if the accused ever goes outside the limits of the city of refuge to which they fled 27 and the avenger of blood finds them outside the city, the avenger of blood may kill the accused without being guilty of murder. 28 The accused must stay in the city of refuge until the death of the high priest; only after the death of the high priest may they return to their own property.

29 “‘This is to have the force of law(AB) for you throughout the generations to come,(AC) wherever you live.(AD)

30 “‘Anyone who kills a person is to be put to death as a murderer only on the testimony of witnesses. But no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.(AE)

31 “‘Do not accept a ransom(AF) for the life of a murderer, who deserves to die. They are to be put to death.

32 “‘Do not accept a ransom for anyone who has fled to a city of refuge and so allow them to go back and live on their own land before the death of the high priest.

33 “‘Do not pollute the land where you are. Bloodshed pollutes the land,(AG) and atonement cannot be made for the land on which blood has been shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it. 34 Do not defile the land(AH) where you live and where I dwell,(AI) for I, the Lord, dwell among the Israelites.’”
