1The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying,
1 Rabbi salaŋ Yasuwa se ka ne:
2Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses:
2 «Ma salaŋ Israyla izey se ka ne: Wa tuguyaŋ birniyaŋ suuban, wo kaŋ yaŋ ay n'i sanni te Musa me ra.
3That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
3 I ga ciya boro-wi se kaŋ na boro wi, amma manti haw-ka-te boŋ no, manti ibaay boŋ mo no a n'a te. A ma zuru ka koy noodin ka faaba daw banako kambe ra.
4And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
4 Boro-wiyo ga zuru ka koy birney din afo do. Day a ga kay birno meyo furoyaŋo do ka nga sanno ci birno arkusey se, i ma maa ngey hangey ra. Ngey mo ga bora daŋ birno ra ngey do. I m'a no goray nangu, zama a ma goro i banda noodin.
5And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbor unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.
5 Da daw banako na boro-wiyo ce gana ka kaa, i si boro-wiyo no a se a kambe ra, zama manti nga ibaay boŋ no a na nga gorokasino wi, a mana jin ka konn'a mo.
6And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled.
6 A ga goro birni woodin ra hala hano kaŋ hane a ga kay jama jine ciiti se, hala alfaga beero kaŋ gonda dabari jirbi woodin yaŋ ra buuyaŋo banda. Gaa no nga din, boro-wiyo ga hin ka ye nga birno ra. A ma koy nga boŋ windo ra, birno ra nango kaŋ a zuru ka fun din.»
7And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron, in the mountain of Judah.
7 Kal i na Kedes suuban Galili ra, Naftali tondey laabo ra. I na Sekem suuban kaŋ go Ifraymu tondey laabo ra. I na Ciriyat-Arba (kaŋ ga ti Hebron suuban), kaŋ go Yahuda tondey laabo ra.
8And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain 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.
8 Urdun daŋanta mo, Yeriko wayna funay haray, i na Bezer kaŋ go ganjo ra suuban, Ruben kunda batamey ra. I na Ramot kaŋ go Jileyad suuban, Gad kunda do. I na Golan kaŋ go Basan ra suuban, Manasse kunda ra.
9These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
9 Woodin yaŋ no ga ti birney kaŋ i suuban Israyla izey se, da yaw kaŋ go i ra da goray mo se. Zama boro kulu kaŋ na boro wi, amma manti ibaay boŋ no, a ma zuru ka koy birney din do. A ma koy noodin zama a ma si bu daw banakwa kambe ra, kala nd'a kay jama jine ciiti se jina.
