¹Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse kula hadlay bannaankii Moo'aab oo Webi Urdun u dhowaa ee Yerixoo ka soo hor jeeday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in the plains of Moab, by Jordan, [near] Jericho, saying,

²Waxaad 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.

²`Command the sons of Israel, and they have given to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to inhabit; also a suburb for the cities round about them ye do give to the Levites.

³Oo magaalooyinka iyagaa lahaanayaan inay degaan, agagaarkooduna waxay u ahaan doonaan lo'dooda, iyo alaabtooda, iyo xoolahooda oo dhan.

³And the cities have been to them to inhabit, and their suburbs are for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.

⁴Oo 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.

⁴`And the suburbs of the cities which ye give to the Levites [are], from the wall of the city and without, a thousand cubits round about.

⁵Oo 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.

⁵And ye have measured from the outside of the city, the east quarter, two thousand by the cubit, and the south quarter, two thousand by the cubit, and the west quarter, two thousand by the cubit, and the north quarter, two thousand by the cubit; and the city [is] in the midst; this is to them the suburbs of the cities.

⁶Oo 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.

⁶`And the cities which ye give to the Levites [are] the six cities of refuge, which ye give for the fleeing thither of the man-slayer, and besides them ye give forty and two cities;

⁷Oo magaalooyinka aad reer Laawi siin doontaan oo dhammu waxay ahaan doonaan siddeed iyo afartan magaalo, oo waxaad siin doontaan iyaga iyo agagaarkoodaba.

⁷all the cities which ye give to the Levites [are] forty and eight cities, them and their suburbs.

⁸Oo 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.

⁸And the cities which ye give [are] of the possession of the sons of Israel, from the many ye multiply, and from the few ye diminish; each, according to his inheritance which they inherit, doth give of his cities to the Levites.`

⁹Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

⁹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹⁰Reer binu Israa'iil la hadal, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Markaad Webi Urdun dhaaftaan oo aad gashaan dalka Kancaan,

¹⁰`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye are passing over the Jordan to the land of Canaan,

¹¹waa inaad doorataan magaalooyin idiin ahaada magaalooyin aad magan gashaan, si uu gacankudhiigluhu qof kama' u dilaa halkaas ugu cararo.

¹¹and have prepared to yourselves cities — cities of refuge they are to you — then fled thither hath a man-slayer, smiting a person unawares,

¹²Oo 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.

¹²and the cities have been to you for a refuge from the redeemer, and the man-slayer doth not die till his standing before the company for judgment.

¹³Oo magaalooyinka aad bixin doontaan waxay idiin ahaan doonaan lix magaalo oo magangal ah.

¹³`As to the cities which ye give — six [are] cities of refuge to you;

¹⁴Oo 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.

¹⁴the three of the cities ye give beyond the Jordan, and the three of the cities ye give in the land of Canaan; cities of refuge they are.

¹⁵Oo lixdaas magaalo waxaa magan geli doona reer binu Israa'iil iyo shisheeyaha iyo qariibka iyaga dhex deggan, si uu ku alla kii qof kama' u dilaa ugu cararo.

¹⁵To sons of Israel, and to a sojourner, and to a settler in their midst, are these six cities for a refuge, for the fleeing thither of any one smiting a person unawares.

¹⁶Laakiinse hadduu wax bir ah ku dhufto, oo uu sidaas ku dhinto, markaas isagu waa gacankudhiigle, oo gacankudhiiglaha hubaal waa in la dilaa.

¹⁶`And if with an instrument of iron he hath smitten him, and he dieth, he [is] a murderer: the murderer is certainly put to death.

¹⁷Oo 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.

¹⁷`And if with a stone [in] the hand, wherewith he dieth, he hath smitten him, and he dieth, he [is] a murderer: the murderer is certainly put to death.

¹⁸Amase 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.

¹⁸`Or with a wooden instrument [in] the hand, wherewith he dieth, he hath smitten him, and he dieth, he [is] a murderer: the murderer is certainly put to death.

¹⁹Oo aardoonka dhiigga doonayaa qudhiisu ha dilo gacankudhiiglaha. Markuu isaga helo ha dilo.

¹⁹`The redeemer of blood himself doth put the murderer to death; in his coming against him he doth put him to death.

²⁰Oo hadduu nacayb aawadiis u riixdo, ama intuu u gabbado uu wax ku tuuro, oo uu markaas dhinto,

²⁰`And if in hatred he thrust him through, or hath cast [anything] at him by lying in wait, and he dieth;

²¹amase 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.

²¹or in enmity he hath smitten him with his hand, and he dieth; the smiter is certainly put to death; he [is] a murderer; the redeemer of blood doth put the murderer to death in his coming against him.

²²Laakiinse hadduu kama' u riixo isagoo aan cadownimo ku jirin, amase uu wax ku tuuro isagoo aan u gabban,

²²`And if, in an instant, without enmity, he hath thrust him through, or hath cast at him any instrument, without lying in wait;

²³amase 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,

²³or with any stone wherewith he dieth, without seeing, and causeth [it] to fall upon him, and he dieth, and he [is] not his enemy, nor seeking his evil;

²⁴markaas kii wax dilay iyo kan ah aardoonka dhiigga doonayo, shirku waa inuu ugu kala garsooraa sida xukummadanu yihiin.

²⁴then have the company judged between the smiter and the redeemer of blood, by these judgments.

²⁵Oo shirku waa inuu gacankudhiiglaha ka samatabbixiyaa gacanta kan ah aardoonka dhiigga doonayo, oo shirku waa inuu isaga ku celiyaa magaaladiisii uu magan galay, oo uu ku cararay, oo isagu waa inuu halkaas degganaado jeer uu dhinto wadaadka sare oo lagu subkay saliiddii quduuska ahayd.

²⁵`And the company have delivered the man-slayer out of the hand of the redeemer of blood, and the company have caused him to turn back unto the city of his refuge, whither he hath fled, and he hath dwelt in it till the death of the chief priest, who hath been anointed with the holy oil.

²⁶Laakiinse gacankudhiigluhu mar kasta ha ahaatee hadduu ka gudbo soohdinta magaaladiisii uu magan galay oo uu ku cararay,

²⁶`And if the man-slayer at all go out [from] the border of the city of his refuge whither he fleeth,

²⁷oo markaas kii ahaa aardoonka dhiigga doonayo uu ka helo meel dibadda ka ah soohdinta magaaladiisii uu magan galay, kolkaas kii ahaa aardoonka dhiigga doonayo hadduu gacankudhiiglaha dilo, isagu ma ahaan doono mid dhiig qaba,

²⁷and the redeemer of blood hath found him at the outside of the border of the city of his refuge, and the redeemer of blood hath slain the man-slayer, blood is not for him;

²⁸waayo, waxaa isaga waajib ku ahaa inuu iska joogo magaaladiisii uu magan galay ilamaa uu wadaadka sare dhinto, laakiinse markuu wadaadka sare dhinto gacankudhiigluhu waa inuu markaas dabadeed ku noqdo dalkiisii hantida u ahaa.

²⁸for in the city of his refuge he doth dwell till the death of the chief priest; and after the death of the chief priest doth the man-slayer turn back unto the city of his possession.

²⁹Oo waxyaalahanu waa inay qaynuun xukun ah degmooyinkiinna oo dhan idiinku ahaadaan ab ka abkiin.

²⁹`And these things have been to you for a statute of judgment to your generations, in all your dwellings:

³⁰Ku alla kii qof dila, gacankudhiiglaha waa in la dilaa markii lagu marag furo, laakiinse qofnaba yaan lagu dilin markhaati keliya maragfurkiis.

³⁰whoso smiteth a person, by the mouth of witnesses doth [one] slay the murderer; and one witness doth not testify against a person — to die.

³¹Oo weliba waa inaydaan innaba furan nafta gacankudhiigle dhimasho lagu xukumay, laakiinse hubaal waa in la dilaa.

³¹`And ye take no atonement for the life of a murderer who [is] condemned — to die, for he is certainly put to death;

³²Oo weliba waa inaydaan furan kii ku cararay magaaladiisa magangalka ah, si uu ugu noqdo oo uu u dego dalkiisa ilamaa uu wadaadka sare dhinto.

³²and ye take no atonement for him to flee unto the city of his refuge, to turn back to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.

³³Dalka 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.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.

³³`And ye profane not the land which ye [are] in, for blood profaneth the land; as to the land, it is not pardoned for blood which is shed in it except by the blood of him who sheddeth it;

³⁴Oo waa inaydaan nijaasayn dalka aad dhex deggan tihiin, oo anna aan dhexdiisa degganahay, waayo, aniga Rabbiga ahu waxaan dhex degganahay reer binu Israa'iil.

³⁴and ye defile not the land in which ye are dwelling, in the midst of which I do tabernacle, for I Jehovah do tabernacle in the midst of the sons of Israel.`
