35 ¶ Antan yo nan plenn Moab yo, lòt bò larivyè Jouden, sou bò solèy leve anfas lavil Jeriko, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:

-W'a bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo lòd pou yo pran nan pòsyon tè yo resevwa a kèk lavil pou yo bay moun Levi yo pou yo rete, ansanm ak savann ki toutotou lavil sa yo pou yo ka fè gadinaj.

Se nan lavil sa yo moun Levi yo va rete. Savann sa yo va rete pou yo, y'a sèvi pou zannimo yo ak pou tout lòt bèt y'a genyen.

Savann yo va toutotou lavil yo. Y'a mezire mil senksan (1.500) pye depi ranpa lavil la nan chak direksyon.

Konsa, savann yo va fè yon gwo teren kare kare ki va mezire twamil (3.000) pye sou chak bò: twamil pye sou bò lès, twamil pye sou bò lwès, twamil pye sou bò nò, twamil pye sou bò sid ak lavil la nan mitan l'. Y'a sèvi kote pou bèt moun Levi ki rete nan lavil la jwenn manje.

Nan lavil n'a bay moun Levi yo, gen sis ladan yo ki va sèvi pou bay moun ki touye moun pwoteksyon. Apa sis lavil sa yo, n'a bay moun Levi yo karannde lòt lavil ankò.

Antou, se pou nou bay moun Levi yo karantwit lavil ak tout savann pou bèt yo.

Lè n'ap wete nan pòsyon ki pou pèp Izrayèl la lavil pou moun Levi yo, chak fanmi va bay dapre pòsyon tè li te resevwa. Sa ki gen pi gwo pòsyon an va bay plis. Sa ki gen ti pòsyon an va bay mwens.

¶ Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:

10 -Pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, di yo pou mwen. Lè n'a janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an pou nou antre nan peyi Kanaran an,

11 se pou nou chwazi kèk lavil kote yon moun ki touye yon lòt san li pa fè espre ka kouri chache pwoteksyon.

12 Se la y'a pwoteje l' anba fanmi mò a ki ta chache tire revanj mò a. Yo p'ap gen dwa touye l' toutotan yo pa jije l' devan tout moun.

13 Nan lavil n'a bay moun Levi yo, sis va sèvi pou bay moun konsa pwoteksyon,

14 twa lòt bò larivyè Jouden an sou bò solèy leve, twa bò isit nan peyi Kanaran an.

15 Sis lavil sa yo va sèvi ni pou moun peyi a ni pou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou osinon ki depasaj. Se la tout moun ki touye yon lòt san fè espre va kouri chache pwoteksyon.

16 Si yon moun frape yon lòt ak yon bout fè epi li touye l', se ansasen li ye, se pou yo touye l' tou.

17 Si yon moun bay yon lòt yon kout wòch epi li touye l', se ansasen li ye, se pou yo touye l' tou.

18 Si yon moun bay yon lòt yon kout bwa epi li touye l', se ansasen li ye, se pou yo touye l' tou.

19 Moun ki fanmi pi pre moun yo touye a va reskonsab pou li touye ansasen an, nenpòt kilè li bare avè l'.

20 Si yon moun rayi yon lòt epi li ba li yon move bourad pou li touye l', osinon si li voye yon bagay dèyè l' pou touye l',

21 oswa ankò, paske li pa vle wè l' li bat li ak koutpwen pou l' touye l', epi li touye l' vre, li gen pou l' mouri tou. Se yon ansasen li ye. Moun ki fanmi pi pre moun li touye a va reskonsab pou touye l' tou, nenpòt lè li bare avè l'.

22 Men, sipoze yon moun bay yon lòt yon move bourad san li pa fè espre, san li pa rayi l', osinon li voye yon bagay konsa konsa, epi l' al pran yon moun move kote san li pa t'ap voye l' dèyè l',

23 oswa ankò, sipoze li voye yon wòch epi li pa wè sa, wòch la al tonbe sou yon moun, li touye l' frèt, san li pa t' rayi moun lan ni li pa t'ap chache fè moun lan mal,

24 nan ka sa yo, men regleman pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo swiv pou yo regle bagay la ant moun ki te touye lòt la ak fanmi pi pre moun mouri a ki reskonsab pou tire revanj la.

25 Pèp la va sove moun ki te touye lòt la anba men fanmi pi pre moun li touye a, l'a fè l' tounen nan lavil kote li te al kache kò l' la. Moun ki te touye lòt la va rete la jouk granprèt ki la lè sa a pou fè sèvis Bondye a va mouri.

26 Si moun ki touye lòt la ta rive soti andeyò limit lavil kote li kache a,

27 si moun ki fanmi pi pre moun li touye a bare avè l', epi li touye l', yo pa gen dwa fè fanmi pre a peye pou sa l' fè a.

28 Paske moun ki touye yon lòt san li pa fè espre a fèt pou rete nan lavil kote li te kache a jouk granprèt ki la lè sa a va mouri. Se apre lanmò granprèt la ase l'a ka tounen lakay li.

29 Regleman sa yo va sèvi tankou yon lwa pou nou pou tout tan, de pitit an pitit, kote nou pase.

30 Lè yon moun touye yon lòt, anvan yo touye l', se pou yo gen depozisyon divès temwen kont li. Depozisyon yon sèl temwen pa kont pou kondannen yon moun.

31 Nou pa gen dwa asepte lajan pou sove lavi yon moun yo kondannen pou mouri paske li touye yon lòt. Wè pa wè se pou nonm sa a mouri.

32 Ni nou pa gen dwa asepte lajan pou penmèt yon moun ki kite lavil kote l' te kache a pou l' al lakay li anvan granprèt ki la lè sa a mouri.

33 Piga nou janm fè bagay ki pou fè Bondye vire do bay peyi kote nou pral viv la. Lè yon moun touye yon lòt moun, se sa k'ap mete peyi a nan kondisyon li derespekte Bondye ak san ki koule a. Lè konsa, pa gen lòt mwayen pou fè Bondye padonnen peyi a pase se touye pou nou touye moun ki touye a.

34 Piga nou janm fè bagay ki pou fè Bondye vire do bay peyi kote nou rete a, paske mwen menm Seyè a, se nan mitan moun pèp Izrayèl yo, nan mitan peyi kote yo rete a, mwen rete tou.

36 ¶ Moun branch fanmi Galarad yo se desandan Maki yo ye. Maki sa a se te pitit Manase, yonn nan de pitit Jozèf yo. Chèf fanmi moun Galarad yo al jwenn Moyiz ak lòt chèf branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la,

yo di yo konsa: -Seyè a te ba ou, Moyiz, lòd pou ou te separe peyi a bay chak branch fanmi Izrayèl la pa yo dapre sa ki va soti pou yo lè y'a tire osò. Apre sa, Seyè a ta ba ou lòd pou ou te pran pòsyon ki pou Zelochad, fanmi nou an, pou ou bay pitit fi li yo.

Men, si medam sa yo marye ak yon nonm ki fè pati yon lòt branch nan fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, pòsyon ki pou yo a pral soti sou tè zansèt pa nou yo. Konsa, pòsyon tè ki pou branch fanmi nonm yo marye a pral vin pi plis, epi pòsyon tè ki te vin pou nou an lè yo te tire osò a pral vin pi piti.

Lè lanne rejwisans lan va rive pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo, yo pral pran pòsyon tè ki te pou medam sa yo, yo pral wete l' nan pa branch fanmi zansèt nou yo, yo pral mete l' sou pa branch fanmi mari yo.

¶ Se konsa, dapre lòd Seyè a te ba li, Moyiz bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo regleman sa a pou yo swiv. Li di yo konsa: -Moun branch fanmi Jozèf yo gen rezon.

Se poutèt sa, men lòd Seyè a bay: Pitit fi Zelochad yo lib marye moun yo vle, depi se yon moun ki nan menm branch fanmi ak yo.

Pòsyon tè yon branch fanmi pa gen dwa pase pou yon lòt branch fanmi. Konsa, pòsyon tè yon fanmi va toujou rete nan fanmi an.

Si yon fi vin eritye yon pòsyon nan tè yonn nan branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, se pou l' marye ak yon moun ki nan menm branch fanmi avè l'. Konsa, chak moun va kenbe eritaj zansèt yo nan fanmi an.

Tè yon branch fanmi p'ap ka pase pou yon lòt branch fanmi. Konsa, pòsyon tè ki pou yon fanmi va toujou rete nan fanmi an.

10 Se konsa, pitit fi Zelochad yo fè jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd la.

11 Mala, Tiza, Ogla, Milka ak Noa marye ak pitit gason tonton yo bò papa.

12 Yo marye nan branch fanmi Manase, pitit Jozèf la. Konsa, pòsyon tè papa yo a rete nan menm branch fanmi an.

13 Men tout lòd ak regleman Seyè a te bay Moyiz pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo, lè yo te nan plenn Moab yo, lòt bò larivyè Jouden, anfas lavil Jeriko.

Towns for the Levites

35 On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho,(A) the Lord said to Moses, “Command the Israelites to give the Levites towns to live in(B) from the inheritance the Israelites will possess. And give them pasturelands(C) around the towns. Then they will have towns to live in and pasturelands for the cattle they own and all their other animals.(D)

“The pasturelands around the towns that you give the Levites will extend a thousand cubits[a] from the town wall. Outside the town, measure two thousand cubits[b](E) on the east side, two thousand on the south side, two thousand on the west and two thousand on the north, with the town in the center. They will have this area as pastureland for the towns.(F)

Cities of Refuge(G)

“Six of the towns you give the Levites will be cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone may flee.(H) In addition, give them forty-two other towns. In all you must give the Levites forty-eight towns, together with their pasturelands. The towns you give the Levites from the land the Israelites possess are to be given in proportion to the inheritance of each tribe: Take many towns from a tribe that has many, but few from one that has few.”(I)

Then the Lord said to Moses: 10 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you cross the Jordan into Canaan,(J) 11 select some towns to be your cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone(K) accidentally(L) may flee. 12 They will be places of refuge from the avenger,(M) so that anyone accused of murder(N) may not die before they stand trial before the assembly.(O) 13 These six towns you give will be your cities of refuge.(P) 14 Give three on this side of the Jordan and three in Canaan as cities of refuge. 15 These six towns will be a place of refuge for Israelites and for foreigners residing among them, so that anyone who has killed another accidentally can flee there.

16 “‘If anyone strikes someone a fatal blow with an iron object, that person is a murderer; the murderer is to be put to death.(Q) 17 Or if anyone is holding a stone and strikes someone a fatal blow with it, that person is a murderer; the murderer is to be put to death. 18 Or if anyone is holding a wooden object and strikes someone a fatal blow with it, that person is a murderer; the murderer is to be put to death. 19 The avenger of blood(R) shall put the murderer to death; when the avenger comes upon the murderer, the avenger shall put the murderer to death.(S) 20 If anyone with malice aforethought shoves another or throws something at them intentionally(T) so that they die 21 or if out of enmity one person hits another with their fist so that the other dies, that person is to be put to death;(U) that person is a murderer. The avenger of blood(V) shall put the murderer to death when they meet.

22 “‘But if without enmity someone suddenly pushes another or throws something at them unintentionally(W) 23 or, without seeing them, drops on them a stone heavy enough to kill them, and they die, then since that other person was not an enemy and no harm was intended, 24 the assembly(X) must judge between the accused and the avenger of blood according to these regulations. 25 The assembly must protect the one accused of murder from the avenger of blood and send the accused back to the city of refuge to which they fled. The accused must stay there until the death of the high priest,(Y) who was anointed(Z) with the holy oil.(AA)

26 “‘But if the accused ever goes outside the limits of the city of refuge to which they fled 27 and the avenger of blood finds them outside the city, the avenger of blood may kill the accused without being guilty of murder. 28 The accused must stay in the city of refuge until the death of the high priest; only after the death of the high priest may they return to their own property.

29 “‘This is to have the force of law(AB) for you throughout the generations to come,(AC) wherever you live.(AD)

30 “‘Anyone who kills a person is to be put to death as a murderer only on the testimony of witnesses. But no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.(AE)

31 “‘Do not accept a ransom(AF) for the life of a murderer, who deserves to die. They are to be put to death.

32 “‘Do not accept a ransom for anyone who has fled to a city of refuge and so allow them to go back and live on their own land before the death of the high priest.

33 “‘Do not pollute the land where you are. Bloodshed pollutes the land,(AG) and atonement cannot be made for the land on which blood has been shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it. 34 Do not defile the land(AH) where you live and where I dwell,(AI) for I, the Lord, dwell among the Israelites.’”

Inheritance of Zelophehad’s Daughters(AJ)

36 The family heads of the clan of Gilead(AK) son of Makir,(AL) the son of Manasseh, who were from the clans of the descendants of Joseph,(AM) came and spoke before Moses and the leaders,(AN) the heads of the Israelite families. They said, “When the Lord commanded my lord to give the land as an inheritance to the Israelites by lot,(AO) he ordered you to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad(AP) to his daughters. Now suppose they marry men from other Israelite tribes; then their inheritance will be taken from our ancestral inheritance and added to that of the tribe they marry into. And so part of the inheritance allotted to us will be taken away. When the Year of Jubilee(AQ) for the Israelites comes, their inheritance will be added to that of the tribe into which they marry, and their property will be taken from the tribal inheritance of our ancestors.”

Then at the Lord’s command Moses gave this order to the Israelites: “What the tribe of the descendants of Joseph is saying is right. This is what the Lord commands for Zelophehad’s daughters: They may marry anyone they please as long as they marry within their father’s tribal clan. No inheritance(AR) in Israel is to pass from one tribe to another, for every Israelite shall keep the tribal inheritance of their ancestors. Every daughter who inherits land in any Israelite tribe must marry someone in her father’s tribal clan,(AS) so that every Israelite will possess the inheritance of their ancestors. No inheritance may pass from one tribe to another, for each Israelite tribe is to keep the land it inherits.”

10 So Zelophehad’s daughters did as the Lord commanded Moses. 11 Zelophehad’s daughters—Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milkah and Noah(AT)—married their cousins on their father’s side. 12 They married within the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in their father’s tribe and clan.(AU)

13 These are the commands and regulations the Lord gave through Moses(AV) to the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.(AW)

10 ¶ Jezi kite kote l' te ye a; li ale nan rejyon Jide ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden an. La ankò, foul moun yo te sanble bò kote l'; li t'ap moutre yo anpil bagay, jan l' te toujou konn fè a.

Kèk farizyen pwoche bò kote l' pou yo wè si yo te kapab pran l' nan pèlen. Yo mande li: -Eske lalwa nou pèmèt yon nonm kite ak madanm li?

Li reponn yo: -Kisa Moyiz te ban nou lòd fè?

Yo di l': -Moyiz te pèmèt pou yon nonm ekri madanm li yon papye divòs anvan pou l' kite avèk li.

Lè sa a, Jezi di yo: -Moyiz te ekri kòmandman sa a pou nou paske nou gen tèt di.

Men, nan konmansman, lè Bondye t'ap kreye tout bagay, Bondye te fè gason ak fi.

Se poutèt sa, gason an va kite papa l' ak manman l', pou l' mete tèt ansanm ak madanm li.

Tou de va fè yon sèl kò. Konsa, yo p'ap de ankò, men yo fè yon sèl.

Se poutèt sa pesonn pa gen dwa separe sa Bondye mete ansanm.

10 Lè yo antre nan kay la, disip yo poze l' keksyon ankò sou bagay sa a.

11 Li di yo konsa: -Si yon nonm kite ak madanm li pou li al marye ak yon lòt, li fè adiltè sou madanm li.

12 Menm jan an tou, si yon fanm kite ak mari l' pou li al marye ak yon lòt, fanm lan fè adiltè.

13 ¶ Yo te mennen kèk timoun bay Jezi pou l' te mete men sou tèt yo. Men disip yo t'ap di moun yo pa fè sa.

14 Lè Jezi wè sa, li pa t' kontan menm. Li di disip yo: -Kite timoun yo vin jwenn mwen non. Pa anpeche yo vini, paske Peyi kote Bondye Wa a, se pou tout moun ki tankou timoun sa yo.

15 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Si yon moun pa asepte otorite Bondye a tankou yon timoun, li p'ap janm ka mete pye l' nan Peyi kote Bondye Wa a.

16 Apre sa, li pran timoun yo nan bra l', li mete men l' sou tèt yo chak, li beni yo.

17 ¶ Antan Jezi t'ap soti pou li al fè wout li, yon nonm kouri vini. Li lage kò l' ajenou devan Jezi, li mande li: -Bon Mèt, kisa pou m' fè pou m' resevwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an?

18 Jezi di li: -Poukisa ou rele m' bon? Se yon sèl bon ki genyen, se Bondye.

19 Ou konn kòmandman yo: Piga ou touye moun; piga ou fè adiltè; piga ou vòlè; piga ou fè manti sou moun; piga ou twonpe moun; respekte papa ou ak manman ou.

20 Li reponn Jezi: -Mèt, mwen swiv tout bagay sa yo depi m' te ti katkat.

21 Jezi gade nonm lan, li renmen l', epi l' di li: -Yon sèl bagay ou manke: Ale vann tou sa ou genyen, separe lajan an bay pòv. Apre sa, wa gen yon richès nan syèl la. Epi vin swiv mwen.

22 Men pawòl sa a te fè nonm lan lapenn anpil. Li vin kagou, li vire do l', li ale, paske li te gen anpil byen.

23 Apre sa, Jezi gade disip li yo ki te bò kote l' la, li di yo: -Sa ap difisil nèt pou moun rich antre nan Peyi kote Bondye Wa a.

24 Disip li yo te sezi anpil lè yo tande pawòl sa a. Men Jezi di yo konsa: -Mezanmi, sa ap difisil nèt pou moun antre nan peyi kote Bondye Wa a.

25 L'ap pi fasil pou gwo bèt yo rele chamo a pase nan je yon zegwi pase pou yon moun rich antre nan peyi kote Bondye Wa a.

26 Disip yo te pi sezi toujou, yonn t'ap di lòt: -Nan kondisyon sa a, ki moun ki ka sove?

27 Jezi gade yo nan je, li di yo konsa: -Moun pa ka fè sa, men Bondye ka fè l', paske pa gen anyen Bondye pa ka fè.

28 Lè sa a, Pyè di li: -Men koute non, nou kite tout bagay pou nou swiv ou.

29 Jezi reponn li: -Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: nenpòt moun ki kite kay li, osinon frè l', osinon manman l', osinon papa l', osinon pitit li, osinon jaden l', pou sèvis mwen ak pou sèvis bon nouvèl la,

30 moun sa a gen pou l' resevwa, depi koulye a, nan tan sa a, san (100) fwa plis pou sa l' te kite a: kay, frè, sè, manman, pitit, jaden ansanm avèk tout kalite pèsekisyon; epi nan tan k'ap vini apre sa a, li gen pou l' resevwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.

31 Men, anpil nan moun ki devan yo va rete dèyè, anpil nan moun ki dèyè yo va pran devan.

Divorce(A)

10 Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan.(B) Again crowds of people came to him, and as was his custom, he taught them.(C)

Some Pharisees(D) came and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

“What did Moses command you?” he replied.

They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.”(E)

“It was because your hearts were hard(F) that Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied. “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’[a](G) ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,[b] and the two will become one flesh.’[c](H) So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

10 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this. 11 He answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.(I) 12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”(J)

The Little Children and Jesus(K)

13 People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.(L) 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”(M) 16 And he took the children in his arms,(N) placed his hands on them and blessed them.

The Rich and the Kingdom of God(O)

17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees(P) before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”(Q)

18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’[d](R)

20 “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.”

21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor,(S) and you will have treasure in heaven.(T) Then come, follow me.”(U)

22 At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.

23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich(V) to enter the kingdom of God!”

24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is[e] to enter the kingdom of God!(W) 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”(X)

26 The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?”

27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”(Y)

28 Then Peter spoke up, “We have left everything to follow you!”(Z)

29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30 will fail to receive a hundred times as much(AA) in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come(AB) eternal life.(AC) 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”(AD)
