1And Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
1Huan, TOUPAN Josua a houpiha,
2Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint for yourselves the cities of refuge, whereof I spoke unto you through Moses,
2Israel suante kiangah, Kihumbitna khuate bawl dih ua, Mosi zanga na kiang ua ka gen khitsa:
3that the slayer who unwittingly without intent smiteth any one mortally may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
3Kuapeuh theiloua mi nana that kha, huailaiah a tailut thei ding hi: huchiin sisan phulami lakah nou adingin kihumbitna ahi ding.
4And he shall flee unto one of those cities and stand at the entrance of the city-gate, and shall declare his matter in the ears of the elders of that city; and they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
4Huan, huai khopite laka akoi hiam pen ah a tai dinga, khopi kulh kongpi lutna ah a vading dinga, huai kho upate bila jakin a tanchin a vatun ding: huan, amau kho sungah a kiang uah a pi lut ding ua, a lak ua a ten theih sam na dingin in omna ding a sehsak ding uhi.
5And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; for he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not previously.
5Huan, sisan phulamiin a hondelh leh, a thatmi pen a khut ah a nape ding uh ahi kei; a insakinkhang theiloua a thah ahia, a main lah huatna a nei ngal keia.
6And he shall dwell in that city, until he have stood before the assembly in judgment, 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.
6Mipi maa vaihawmsak dinga a din ma leh huailaia siampu liana pangpa a sih mateng, huai khuaa a om nilouh ding ahi; huan, huai nungin mi thatmi pen amah kho sung mahmah, a taikhiak san khua, amah mah in sungah a lut nawn ding ahi, chiin genin, chiin.
7And they hallowed Kedesh in Galilee in the hill-country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and Kirjath-Arba, that is, Hebron, in the hill-country of Judah.
7Huchiin Naphtali singtang gama Galili ah Kades khua te, Ephraim singtang gam sekem khua te, Judia singtang gama kirath-arba khua (huai bel Hebron a hi) te a septa uhi.
8And beyond the Jordan from Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness, in the plateau, out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan of the tribe of Manasseh.
8Huan, suahlam ah Jordan gal ah Jeriko ah Reuben nam gama gamdai phaijanga Bezer khua te, Gad nam gama Gilead gam Ramoth khua te, Manassi nam gama Basan gama Golan khua te a sep uh.Huai khuate ahi Israel suante tengteng leh a lak ua nam dang omte adinga seh: kuapeuh mi that khami tuh huaia a tailuta, mipite maa a din phot mateng sisan phulami khuta a sih louhna dingin.
9These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever smiteth any one mortally without intent might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the assembly.
9Huai khuate ahi Israel suante tengteng leh a lak ua nam dang omte adinga seh: kuapeuh mi that khami tuh huaia a tailuta, mipite maa a din phot mateng sisan phulami khuta a sih louhna dingin.
