Honhu aho howa ha kudimila hewo hafungo ha miji ajo. 6 Mowagawila Walawi miji sita ja kubilimila, hawele wone munhu yamkopole miyage ne kunuwila, kokundizwa kubilimila ako. Hamwe na ago, mowapa kahi miji jiyage makumi gane na mbili. 7 Miji jomuwapa Walawi jowa makumi gane na nane hamwe na honhu hake ha kudimila. 8 Miji jomuwapa Walawi kuli uhalizi wa Waisilaeli jiwhane na ukulu wa nhanzi, nhanzi ng'hulu yolavya miji minji na nhanzi ndodo yolavya miji mido. Chila nhanzi yolavya miji jake kwa chiwalo cha Walawi kwa kiwhana na honhu hoichihalila.”
Miji ja kubilimila
(Kukumbuchila 19:1-13; Yoshua 20:1-9)
9 Mkulu Nguluwi nakalongasa na Musa, nakamlonjela, 10 Walonjele Waisilaeli kota mhela womloka lwanda lwa Yolodani na kwinjila isi ya Kanaani, 11 mohagula miji jiwele jowa miji ja kubilimila hawele kota munhu wone yamkopole miyage ne kunuwila koweza kubilimila. 12 Miji ajo jowa honhu ha kubilimila, leka yula yakopole yaleche kubagama na yula munhu yalinguhilula chibida, yang'hali kutagusigwa hali nhing'hano. 13 Mobagula miji sita kwa chiwalo cha kubilimila. 14 Hali miji ajo sita jombagula, jidatu jiwe kolilawilaga isanya mwa Yolodani, na jidatu jiyage jiwe kuli isi ya Kanaani. 15 Miji ajo jowa ja kubilimila kwa chiwalo cha Waisilaeli na wajenzi na wajenzi wowochikala hamwe na hewo mhela udo. Munhu yoneche yomkopola miyage ne kunuwila koweza kubilimila ako.
16 “Ila munhu wone yamtowe miyage na chinhu cha chuma, kabagama, munhu ayo ndo mkopolaji na yangumlapa yabagame. 17 Munhu yoneche yomtowa miyage na iganga, wone yabagame, munhu ayo ndo mkopolaji, yangumlapa na heye yabagame. 18 Wone yamtowe miyage na chilungu cha igodi chiwele chomwambuza kubagama, na wone yabagame, munhu ayo ndo mkopolaji, na yangumlapa yabagame. 19 Mng'holoze wa habehi wa munhu yawele nakabagama, kohilula chibida. Ahyo hoyoting'hana na ayo mkopolaji, na heye komkopola.
20 “Hihyo du, na wone munhu yomzudila miyage, hamba yomkundujiza ama kumtozela chinhu kwa chinyele, 21 ama kwa kumtowa ngumi na yabagame, lelo munhu ayo yamtowile miyage ndo mkopolaji na yangumlapa yabagame. Mng'holoze wa habehi wa munhu yawele nakabagama, kohilula chibida howoting'hana hamwe.
22 “Ila wone munhu yamkundujize miyage baho du, ne kuzudila ama kumtozela chinhu ne chinyele, 23 ama wone munhu yatoze iganga lilinguweza kwambuza munhu yabagame, na kumkopola munhu, hanga hawele mng'honyo wa heye na ayo yakopole nahaganile kukopola, 24 lelo, nhing'hano yokwamula hali munhu ayo mkopolaji na mng'holoze wa habehi wa munhu yawele nakabagama, kwa kuwinza utaguso awu. 25 Nhing'hano yomlohola munhu ayo yakopole, mmoko mwa mng'holoze wa habehi wa munhu yawele nakabagama na kumhilula kuli muji wa kubilimila monayali yabilimile. Kochikala ako mbaka kubagama kwa mtambika mkulu yabakalizwe mafuta gelile. 26 Ila wone ayo munhu yakopole yalawe kunze mwa muji woyabilimile mhela woneche ula, 27 hamba wone mng'holoze wa habehi wa munhu yawele nakabagama, yamfiche kunze mwa mbaka ja muji awo wa kubilimila na yamkopole, ayo kowa kahela nongwa ya kukopola. 28 Mina ayo yakopole imgana yekale mgati mwa awo muji wa kubilimila mbaka mtambika mkulu hoyobagama, ila hoyobagama mtambika mkulu koweza kuhiluka kaye.
29 “Malajizo aga na mizilo aji jowinzigwa kuli lulelo lwa hemwe lweng'ha, honhu honeche homchikala.
30 “Munhu yoneche yokopola munhu, kotagusigwa kubagama kwa walolezi weli ama mzidi, munhu yoneche howeza kutagusigwa kubagama kwa ulolezi wa munhu yumwe.
31 “Mleche kubochela sendi yoneche kulohola ukomu wa mkopolaji yawele na nongwa na yatagusigwe kubagama, munhu ayo yangumlapa yabagame. 32 Mleche kubochela sendi yoneche kulawila kwa munhu yabilimile muji wa kubilimila leka kumkundiza yahiluche kikala kaye kwa heye, kuno mtambika mkulu yang'hali kubagama. 33 Lomdita ahyo mowa muidita ikokomoche isi yomlingikala. Uboholaji wa danda woidita isi iwe ikokomoche, na kuduhuli uhanyisi kwa chiwalo cha kuyeliza isi iditilwe ukopolaji, ila kwa kumkopola ayo yakopole. 34 Mleche kuidita isi yomlingikala iwe ikokomoche, isi iwele heni yondilingikala, mina heni Mkulu Nguluwi ndangikala hali hemwe Waisilaeli.”
