9 These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
9 Miji hiyo ndiyo miji iliyoamriwa kwa ajili ya wana wa Israeli wote, na kwa ajili ya mgeni akaaye kati yao ugenini, ili kwamba mtu awaye yote atakayemwua mtu pasipo kukusudia apate kimbilia huko, asife kwa mkono wa mwenye kujilipiza kisasi cha damu, hata hapo atakapokuwa amekwisha simama mbele ya mkutano.
