19:1

ወለእመ ፡ አጥፍኦሙ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ አምላክከ ፡ ለአሕዛብ ፡ እለ ፡ ይሁበከ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ምድሮሙ ፡ ወተወረስክምዎሙ ፡ ወነበርክሙ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ምድሮሙ ፡ ወውስተ ፡ አህጉሪሆሙ ፡ ወውስተ ፡ አብያቲሆሙ ፤

When Yahweh your God cuts off the nations whose land Yahweh your God gives you, and you succeed them and dwell in their cities and in their houses,

「耶和華－你上帝將列國之民剪除的時候，耶和華－你上帝也將他們的地賜給你，你接着住他們的城邑並他們的房屋，

19:2

ሠላሰ ፡ አህጉረ ፡ ትፈልጥ ፡ ለከ ፡ በማእከለ ፡ ምድርከ ፡ እንተ ፡ ወሀበከ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ አምላክከ ።

you shall set apart three cities for yourselves in the middle of your land, which Yahweh your God gives you to possess.

就要在耶和華－你上帝所賜你為業的地上分定三座城。

19:3

ወታአምር ፡ ለሊከ ፡ ፍኖቶን ፡ ወትከፍል ፡ ደወለ ፡ ምድርከ ፡ ምሥልስተ ፡ ዘአስተከፈለከ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ አምላክከ ፡ ወይኩን ፡ ህየ ፡ ምስካዩ ፡ ለቀታሊ ፡ ለኵሉ ።

You shall prepare the way, and divide the borders of your land which Yahweh your God causes you to inherit into three parts, that every man slayer may flee there.

要將耶和華－你上帝使你承受為業的地分為三段；又要預備道路，使誤殺人的，都可以逃到那裏去。

19:4

ወዝንቱ ፡ ውእቱ ፡ ሕጉ ፡ ለቀታሊ ፡ እምከመ ፡ ሰከየ ፡ ህየ ፡ ይሕየው ፡ ለእመ ፡ በኢያእምሮ ፡ ቀተሎ ፡ ለካልኡ ፡ ወለእመ ፡ ኢኮነ ፡ ጸላኢሁ ፡ ቀዲሙ ።

This is the case of the man slayer who shall flee there and live: Whoever kills his neighbor unintentionally, and didn’t hate him in time past—

「誤殺人的逃到那裏可以存活，定例乃是這樣：凡素無仇恨，無心殺了人的，

19:5

ወለእመቦ ፡ ዘሖረ ፡ ምስለ ፡ ካልኡ ፡ ሐቅለ ፡ ይሕጥብ ፡ ዕፀ ፡ ወቈስለ ፡ እዴሁ ፡ በጕድብ ፡ እንዘ ፡ ይገዝም ፡ ዕፀ ፡ ወወድቀ ፡ ሐፂኑ ፡ እምውስተ ፡ ዕፁ ፡ ወወረደ ፡ ላዕለ ፡ ካልኡ ፡ ወቀተሎ ፡ ይሰኪ ፡ ውእቱ ፡ ውስተ ፡ አሐቲ ፡ እምነ ፡ እላንቱ ፡ አህጉር ፡ ወየሐዩ ፤

as when a man goes into the forest with his neighbor to chop wood and his hand swings the ax to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the handle and hits his neighbor so that he dies—he shall flee to one of these cities and live.

就如人與鄰舍同入樹林砍伐樹木，手拿斧子一砍，本想砍下樹木，不料，斧頭脫了把，飛落在鄰舍身上，以致於死，這人逃到那些城的一座城，就可以存活，

19:6

ከመ ፡ ኢይዴግኖ ፡ አበ ፡ ደም ፡ ወይትልዎ ፡ ለቀታሊ ፡ እስመ ፡ ተቃወ[ሞ ፡] በልቡ ፡ ወይርከቦ ፡ ለእመ ፡ ርሕቆ ፡ ፍኖት ፡ ወይቀትሎ ፡ ነፍሶ ፡ እንዘ ፡ ኢኮነ ፡ አበሳሁ ፡ ለሞት ፡ እስመ ፡ ኢኮነ ፡ ጸላኢሁ ፡ ቀዲሙ ።

Otherwise, the avenger of blood might pursue the man slayer while hot anger is in his heart and overtake him, because the way is long, and strike him mortally, even though he was not worthy of death, because he didn’t hate him in time past.

免得報血仇的，心中火熱追趕他，因路遠就追上，將他殺死；其實他不該死，因為他與被殺的素無仇恨。

19:7

ወበበይነ ፡ ዝንቱ ፡ አዘዝኩከ ፡ አነ ፡ ትግበር ፡ ዘንተ ፡ ነገረ ፡ ወእቤለከ ፡ ሠላሰ ፡ አህጉረ ፡ ፍልጥ ፡ ለከ ።

Therefore I command you to set apart three cities for yourselves.

所以我吩咐你說，要分定三座城。

19:8

ወለእመ ፡ አርኀበ ፡ ለከ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ደወለከ ፡ በከመ ፡ መሐለ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ለአበዊከ ፡ ወወሀበከ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ኵሎ ፡ ምድረ ፡ እንተ ፡ ይቤ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ እሁቦሙ ፡ ለአበዊከ ፤

If Yahweh your God enlarges your border, as he has sworn to your fathers, and gives you all the land which he promised to give to your fathers;

耶和華－你上帝若照他向你列祖所起的誓擴張你的境界，將所應許賜你列祖的地全然給你，

19:9

ለእመ ፡ ሰማዕከ ፡ ከመ ፡ ትግበር ፡ ኵሎ ፡ ዘንተ ፡ ትእዛዘ ፡ ዘአነ ፡ እኤዝዘከ ፡ ዮም ፡ ከመ ፡ ታፍቅሮ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ አምላክከ ፡ ወከመ ፡ ትሑር ፡ በኵሉ ፡ ፍናዊሁ ፡ በኵሉ ፡ መዋዕል ፡ ወትዌስክ ፡ ለከ ፡ ዓዲ ፡ ሠላሰ ፡ አህጉረ ፡ ላዕለ ፡ እልክቱ ፡ ሠላስ ።

and if you keep all this commandment to do it, which I command you today, to love Yahweh your God, and to walk ever in his ways, then you shall add three cities more for yourselves, in addition to these three.

你若謹守遵行我今日所吩咐的這一切誡命，愛耶和華－你的上帝，常常遵行他的道，就要在這三座城之外，再添三座城，
