¹Huan, Jeriko zawn Jordan gei, Moab phai ah TOUPA'N Mosi a houpih a,

¹And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

²Israel suante thupia inla, a gam uah Levite omna ding khuate bawlsak uhen; huan, a gante uh tatna ding in kho dainawl kim khawng Levite na piak ding ahi.

²Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.

³Khuate a omna ding uh ahi ding a, a kimte khawng bel bawng leh a gante uh, a gan vulh tengteng uh a ding ahi ding.

³And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.

⁴Huan, dainawl Levite na piak ding kho kulh a kipan tong sangkhat a sau ahi ding ahi.

⁴And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.

⁵Huan, kulh polam a kipan in na teh ding a, suah lam pang ah tong sangnih, mal lam pang ah tong sangnih, khua lai tak a om in. Hiai amau dainawl tuam ahi ding.

⁵And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.

⁶Huan, Levite na piak ding khuate tualthatte taina ding kihumbitna khopi guk ahi ding a; huaite lou kho sawmli leh kho nih na piak lai ding ahi.

⁶And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.

⁷Levite na piak ding khua tengteng kho sawmli leh kho giat ahi ding: dainawl toh na piak ding ahi.

⁷So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.

⁸Israel suante luah khua na piakdan ding, a tam deuh a kipan in pe tam ding a, a tawm deuh a kipan in na pe tawm ding a, michih in a luah uh gam tamdan dungzui a khua Levite a piak ding ahi, chi in

⁸And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.

⁹Huan, TOUPA'N Mosi a houpih a,

⁹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁰Israel suante houpih inla, a kiang uah,

¹⁰Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

¹¹Jordan lui na galkah ua Kanan gam na lut chiang un kihumbitna khua ding khua na seh ding uh ahi, tualthat kha mi taina ding in.

¹¹Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.

¹²Huai khuate phula mi a kipan na kihumbitna khua uh ahi ding; omkhawmte ma a vaihawm sak ding a a din ma a tualthatmi a sih louhna ding in.

¹²And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.

¹³Huchi in, nou a ding a kihumbitna ding na sehte uh khopi guk ahi ding.

¹³And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.

¹⁴Jordan galah khopi thum na sep ding ua, Kanan gamah khopi thum na sep ding ua, kihumbitna khopite ahi ding uh.

¹⁴Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.

¹⁵Israel suante leh nam dang leh a kiang ua tengte di'n hiai khopi guk kihumbitna ahi ding; huai lai ah kuapeuh mi that kha a tai ding uhi.

¹⁵These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.

¹⁶Himahleh sik zang a mi a sual a, a sih leh tualthat ahi a: tualthat bel hihlup ngeingei ding ahi.

¹⁶And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

¹⁷Huan, si khop a suang a mi a den a a sih leh tualthat ahi a, tualthat bel hihlup ngeingei ding ahi.

¹⁷And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

¹⁸Huan, si khop a mi sing a a sat a, a sih leh tualthat ahi a, tualthat bel hihlup ngeingei ding ahi.

¹⁸Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

¹⁹Sisan phula mi'n tualthat mi a that pah mai ding: a muh peuh chiang in a hihlum ding ahi.

¹⁹The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.

²⁰Huan, mi a huat ziak a a sawm ek hiam, na guk tan a a den hiam a a sih in hiam,

²⁰But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;

²¹Kiselna ziak a tuplup hiam a hihleh, a hihlum mi pen hihlup ngei ding ahi.

²¹Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.

²²A hihhang in kisel ziak hi khol lou a sawm guih hiam, huan, tang hi khol lou a, mi a om uh chih leng theilou a,

²²But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,

²³A melma leng hi lou a, a poikhoih tum leng hi tuan lou a suang hiam a den a, mi a na sih a, a hih leh:

²³Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:

²⁴Omkhawmte'n hiai vaihawmna dan bang in a hihlum mi leh sisan phula mi vai a hawm sak ding uh ahi:

²⁴Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:

²⁵Huan, omkhawmte'n tualthat mi sisan phula mi lak a kipan a honkhe ding ua, omkhawmte'n a taina, kihumbitna khua ah a omsak nawn ding ua, sathau siangthou nilh siampu lian a sih mateng huailai ah a om ding hi.

²⁵And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.

²⁶Himahleh chiklai peuh in tualthat mi a tai na, a kihumbitna kho gamgi po lam a pai a;

²⁶But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;

²⁷Sisan phula mi in a kihumbitna kho po lam a a muh a sisan phula mi in a thah leh sisan ah moh a tang kei ding;

²⁷And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:

²⁸Siampu lian a sih mateng a kihumbitna khua om gige ding a hihziak in; siampu a sih nung in bel tualthat mi a omna gam a pai nawn ding ahi.

²⁸Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.

²⁹Hiai thilte na suante uh tan a na omna peuh ua na vaihawm dan ding uh ahi.

²⁹So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

³⁰Kuapeuh in mi a thah leh tualthat mi pen theihpihte kam a kipan thupawt a hihlup ding ahi: himahleh theihpih khat zaw mi hihlupna ding in a hun kei.

³⁰Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.

³¹Huan, tualthat mi zaw na tat ding uh ahi kei, sihna khop dia moh ahi a, hihlup ngei ding ahi zaw.

³¹Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.

³²Huan, siampu sih ma in, a kihumbitna khua a tai, a gam a om nawn ding a tatna na lak ding uh ahi kei.

³²And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.

³³Huchi in na omna gam uh na hih thanghuai kei ding ua, sisan in gam a hih thanghuai leh sisan suahna gam hih thanghuai silna di'n a suahmi sisan kia lou lah zat theih ahi ngal kei a.Na omna gam uh, ka omna na hih thanghuai ding uh ahi kei; kei TOUPA lah Israel suante lak ah ka om ngal a, chi in, chi in.

³³So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.

³⁴Na omna gam uh, ka omna na hih thanghuai ding uh ahi kei; kei TOUPA lah Israel suante lak ah ka om ngal a, chi in, chi in.

³⁴Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
