¹When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;

¹Oo markii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu wada gooyo quruumaha Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu dalkooda idin siinayo oo aad meeshooda gashaan ee aad degtaan magaalooyinkooda iyo guryahooda,

²Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.

²markaas waa inaad saddex magaalo gaar kaga dhex dhigataan dalkiinna uu Rabbiga Ilaahiina ahu idiin siinayo inaad hantidaan.

³Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.

³Oo waa inaad jidka hagaagsataan oo dalka Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu idin dhaxalsiinayona soohdimihiisa waxaad u qaybisaan saddex meelood in gacankudhiigle kastaaba halkaas ku cararo.

⁴And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbor ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;

⁴Oo gacankudhiiglaha halkaas ku cararayo oo noolaanayo waa caynkan: oo waa kii deriskiisa kama' ku dilay isagoo aan hore u necbayn,

⁵As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbor, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:

⁵sida markii nin deriskiis duurka ugu raaco inay qoryo soo jaraan, oo gacantiisu ay faaska qaadato inuu geedka ku jaro, oo markaas birtu intay daabka ka siibato ku dhacdo kii deriskiisa ahaa ee uu saas ku dhinto, markaas isagu waa inuu ku cararaa magaalooyinkaas middood si uu ku noolaado,

⁶Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.

⁶waaba intaasoo ka aardoonka ahu uu gacankudhiiglaha raacdaystaa intuu qalbigiisu kulul yahay, oo uu gaadhaa jidka fog aawadiis, oo uu markaas dilaa isagoo aan dhimasho istaahilin, maxaa yeelay, isagu hore uma uu necbayn.

⁷Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.

⁷Oo sidaas daraaddeed waxaan idinku amrayaa oo idinku leeyahay, Waa inaad saddex magaalo gaar ka dhigataan.

⁸And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;

⁸Haddii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu u ballaadhiyo soohdimihiinna, siduu awowayaashiin ugu dhaartay, oo uu idin wada siiyo dalkii uu awowayaashiin u ballanqaaday inuu iyaga siinayo oo dhan,

⁹If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:

⁹oo haddaad xajisaan oo wada yeeshaan amarkan aan maanta idinku amrayo oo dhan, inaad Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah jeclaataan oo aad weligiin jidadkiisa ku socotaan, kolkaas saddex magaalo oo kale oo aan saddexdan ahayn waa inaad ku darsataan,

¹⁰That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.

¹⁰si aan dhiig aan xaq qabinu loogu dhex daadin dalkii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu idin siinayo, waaba intaasoo dhiig idin saarnaadaa.

¹¹But if any man hate his neighbor, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:

¹¹Laakiinse haddii nin deriskiisa neceb yahay ee uu isaga meel ugu gabbado oo uu markaas ku soo boodo oo uu ku dhufto nabar uu u dhinto, kolkaas hadduu u cararo magaalooyinkaas middood,

¹²Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.

¹²waayeellada magaaladiisu waa inay cid u soo diraan, oo halkaas ka soo wadaan, oo waa inay kii aardoonka ahaa gacantiisa ku ridaan isagu ha dhintee.

¹³Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.

¹³Oo isaga ishiinnu yaanay u nixin, laakiinse dhiigga aan xaqa qabin reer binu Israa'iil dhexdooda waa inaad ka fogaysaan, si aad u nabdoonaataan.

¹⁴Thou shalt not remove thy neighbor's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.

¹⁴Midkiinna waa inuusan innaba durkin soohdinta deriskiisa oo hore loo dhex qotomiyey dhaxalkiinna aad dhaxli doontaan ee dalka Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu uu idiin siinayo inaad hantidaan.

¹⁵One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.

¹⁵Qof keliyahu yuusan nin ugu marag furin xumaan ama dembi uu dembaabay toona, laakiinse wax kastaba ha lagu adkeeyo afka laba markhaati ama saddex markhaati.

¹⁶If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;

¹⁶Haddii markhaati aan xaq ahaynu uu nin ku kaco oo uu ku marag furo inuu xumaan sameeyey,

¹⁷Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;

¹⁷markaas labada nin oo muranku ka dhexeeyaa waa inay soo istaagaan Rabbiga hortiisa iyo wadaaddada iyo xaakinnada waagaas jiri doono hortooda,

¹⁸And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;

¹⁸oo xaakinnadu waa inay xaalkaas aad u baadhaan, oo bal eeg, haddii markhaatigu yahay markhaati been ah, oo uu walaalkiis si been ah ugu marag furay,

¹⁹Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.

¹⁹markaas waa inaad ku samaysaan siduu damcay inuu walaalkiis ku sameeyo, oo sidaas waa inaad dhexdiinna sharka uga saartaan.

²⁰And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.

²⁰Oo kuwa hadhay xaalkaas way maqli doonaan oo cabsan doonaan, oo markaas ka dibna innaba dhexdiinna shar dambe oo caynkaas ah kuma samayn doonaan.Oo ishiinnu yaanay ninna u nixin, nafu naf ha u baxdo, ilna il ha loo rido, iligna ilig, gacanna gacan ha loo gooyo, cagna cag.

²¹And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

²¹Oo ishiinnu yaanay ninna u nixin, nafu naf ha u baxdo, ilna il ha loo rido, iligna ilig, gacanna gacan ha loo gooyo, cagna cag.
