1 H3068 When the LORD H430 thy God H3772 [H8686] hath cut off H1471 the nations, H776 whose land H3068 the LORD H430 thy God H5414 [H8802] giveth H3423 [H8804] thee, and thou succeedest H3427 [H8804] them, and dwellest H5892 in their cities, H1004 and in their houses;

2 H914 [H8686] Thou shalt set apart H7969 three H5892 cities H8432 for thee in the midst H776 of thy land, H3068 which the LORD H430 thy God H5414 [H8802] giveth H3423 [H8800] thee to possess it.

3 H3559 [H8686] Thou shalt prepare H1870 thee a way, H1366 and divide the bounds H776 of thy land, H3068 which the LORD H430 thy God H5157 [H8686] giveth thee to inherit, H8027 [H8765] into three parts, H7523 [H8802] that every slayer H5127 [H8800] may flee there.

4 H1697 And this is the case H7523 [H8802] of the slayer, H5127 [H8799] who shall flee H2425 [H8804] there, that he may live: H5221 [H8686] Whoever killeth H7453 his neighbour H1097 H1847 unintentionally, H8130 [H8802] whom he hated H8543 not in time H8032 past;

5 H935 [H8799] As when a man goeth H3293 into the forest H7453 with his neighbour H2404 [H8800] to hew H6086 wood, H3027 and his hand H5080 [H8738] maketh a stroke H1631 with the axe H3772 [H8800] to cut down H6086 the tree, H1270 and the head H5394 [H8804] slippeth H6086 from the helve, H4672 [H8804] and falleth H7453 upon his neighbour, H4191 [H8804] that he dieth; H5127 [H8799] he shall flee H259 to one H5892 of these cities, H2425 [H8804] and live:

6 H1350 [H8802] Lest the avenger H1818 [H8676] of blood H7291 [H8799] shall pursue H310 H7523 [H8802] the slayer, H3588 while H3824 his heart H3179 [H8799] is hot, H5381 [H8689] and overtake H1870 him, because the way H7235 [H8799] is long, H5221 [H8689] and slay H5315 him; H4941 though he was not worthy H4194 of death, H3588 inasmuch as H8130 [H8802] he hated H8543 him not in time H8032 past.

7 H6680 [H8764] Therefore I command H559 [H8800] thee, saying, H914 [H8686] Thou shalt set apart H7969 three H5892 cities for thee.

8 H3068 And if the LORD H430 thy God H7337 [H8686] shall enlarge H1366 thy land, H7650 [H8738] as he hath sworn H1 to thy fathers, H5414 [H8804] and give H776 thee all the land H1696 [H8765] which he promised H5414 [H8800] to give H1 to thy fathers;

9 H8104 [H8799] If thou shalt keep H4687 all these commandments H6213 [H8800] to do H6680 [H8764] them, which I command H3117 thee this day, H157 [H8800] to love H3068 the LORD H430 thy God, H3212 [H8800] and to walk H3117 ever H1870 in his ways; H3254 [H8804] then shalt thou add H7969 three H5892 cities H7969 more for thee, besides these three:

10 H5355 That innocent H1818 blood H8210 [H8735] may not be shed H7130 in H776 thy land, H3068 which the LORD H430 thy God H5414 [H8802] giveth H5159 thee for an inheritance, H1818 and so blood be upon thee.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When Yahweh your Elohim cuts off the nations whose country Yahweh your Elohim is giving to you, and you tenant in their place and dwell in their cities and in their houses, ² you shall separate for yourself three cities in the midst of your land that Yahweh your Elohim is giving to you to tenant it. ³ You shall prepare for yourself the road to them and trisect the territory of your land that Yahweh your Elohim shall give to you as an allotment; and it will come to be that every manslayer is to flee there. ⁴ This is the word about the manslayer who may flee there and live:Whoever should smite his associate without knowledge when he was not hating him heretofore, ⁵ or he who should come with his associate into the wildwood to chop trees, and his hand may be impelled with the axe to cut down a tree, and the iron head flies off the wooden handle and finds his associate so that he dies, that man, he shall flee to one of these cities that he may live. ⁶ Otherwise the redeemer of blood may pursue after the manslayer while his heart is furious, and he may overtake him because the road is long enough, and he may smite his soul even though he had no judgment of death, seeing that he was not hating him heretofore. ⁷ Therefore I am instructing you, saying:Three cities shall you separate for yourself. ⁸ And when Yahweh your Elohim widens your territory just as He had sworn to your fathers, and gives to you the whole land that He had promised to give to your father. ⁹ (in case you observe all of this instruction to obey it, that I am enjoining on you today, to love Yahweh your Elohim and to walk in His ways all the days), then you must add for yourself three more cities to these three. ¹⁰ Thus within your land that Yahweh your Elohim is giving to you as an allotment, the blood of the innocent shall not be shed so that no guilt of bloodshed comes to be on you.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When the nations, whose land the Lord your God is giving you, have been cut off by him, and you have taken their place and are living in their towns and in their houses; ² You are to have three towns marked out in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage. ³ You are to make ready a way, and see that the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, is marked out into three parts, to which any taker of life may go in flight. ⁴ This is to be the rule for anyone who goes in flight there, after causing the death of his neighbour in error and not through hate; ⁵ For example, if a man goes into the woods with his neighbour for the purpose of cutting down trees, and when he takes his axe to give a blow to the tree, the head of the axe comes off, and falling on to his neighbour gives him a wound causing his death; then the man may go in flight to one of these towns and be safe: ⁶ For if not, he who has the right of punishment may go running after the taker of life in the heat of his wrath, and overtake him because the way is long, and give him a death-blow; though it is not right for him to be put to death because he was not moved by hate. ⁷ And so I am ordering you to see that three towns are marked out for this purpose. ⁸ And if the Lord your God makes wide the limits of your land, as he said in his oath to your fathers, and gives you all the land which he undertook to give to your fathers; ⁹ If you keep and do all these orders which I give you today, loving the Lord your God and walking ever in his ways; then let three more towns, in addition to these three, be marked out for you: ¹⁰ So that in all your land, which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, no man may be wrongly put to death, for which you will be responsible.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Cities of Refuge“When the LORD your God destroys those nations whose lands he is about to give you, you must dispossess them and live in their cities and houses. ² You must reserve three cities within the land that the LORD your God is about to give you to possess. ³ Build roads throughout the land that the LORD your God is providing as an inheritance, and then divide it into three districts so that any killer may flee there.
⁴ “Now this is the situation for any killer who flees there to live: suppose he strikes his friend unwittingly, not having hated him previously. ⁵ For instance, he may have accompanied his friend to go to a forest to cut trees. Then he swung his axe to cut some wood, but the ax head flew off the handle and hit his friend, so that he died. The killer may flee to one of these cities to live. ⁶ While the distance may be great and the angry avenger pursues the killer, he may overtake him and kill him, in which case there will be no justice in his death, because he did not hate his friend previously. ⁷ Therefore I am commanding you to reserve three cities.”
⁸ Increase the Cities of Refuge“Now if the LORD enlarges your territories just as he promised your ancestors and gives you all the land that he promised, ⁹ and if you are careful to observe all these commands that I am commanding you today—to love the LORD your God and to walk daily in his ways—then add three more cities in addition to these three cities. ¹⁰ You must not shed innocent blood on your land that the LORD your God is about to give you as an inheritance.

Celui qui aura frappé son prochain par mégarde, et sans l'avoir haï auparavant; ⁵ Comme si quelqu'un étant allé avec son prochain dans une forêt pour couper du bois, et avançant sa main avec la cognée pour couper du bois, il arrive que le fer échappe hors du manche, et rencontre tellement son prochain, qu'il en meure; il s'enfuira dans une de ces villes-là, afin qu'il vive. ⁶ De peur que celui qui a le droit de venger le sang ne poursuive le meurtrier, pendant que son coeur est échauffé, et qu'il ne l'atteigne, si le chemin est trop long, et ne le frappe à mort, quoiqu'il ne fût pas digne de mort, parce qu'il ne haïssait pas son prochain auparavant. ⁷ C'est pourquoi je te commande, en disant : Sépare-toi trois villes. ⁸ Que si l'Eternel ton Dieu étend tes limites, comme il l'a juré à tes pères, et qu'il te donne tout le pays qu'il a promis de donner à tes pères. ⁹ Pourvu que tu prennes garde à faire tous ces commandements que je te prescris aujourd'hui, afin que tu aimes l'Eternel ton Dieu, et que tu marches toujours dans ses voies; alors tu t'ajouteras encore trois villes, outre ces trois-là; ¹⁰ Afin que le sang de celui qui est innocent ne soit pas répandu au milieu de ton pays, que l'Eternel ton Dieu te donne en héritage, et que tu ne sois pas coupable de meurtre.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Lorsque l'Eternel, ton Dieu, aura exterminé les nations dont l'Eternel, ton Dieu, te donne le pays, lorsque tu les auras chassées et que tu habiteras dans leurs villes et dans leurs maisons, ² tu sépareras trois villes au milieu du pays dont l'Eternel, ton Dieu, te donne la possession. ³ Tu établiras des routes, et tu diviseras en trois parties le territoire du pays que l'Eternel, ton Dieu, va te donner en héritage. Il en sera ainsi afin que tout meurtrier puisse s'enfuir dans ces villes. ⁴ Cette loi s'appliquera au meurtrier qui s'enfuira là pour sauver sa vie, lorsqu'il aura involontairement tué son prochain, sans avoir été auparavant son ennemi. ⁵ Un homme, par exemple, va couper du bois dans la forêt avec un autre homme; la hache en main, il s'élance pour abattre un arbre; le fer échappe du manche, atteint le compagnon de cet homme, et lui donne la mort. Alors il s'enfuira dans l'une de ces villes pour sauver sa vie, ⁶ de peur que le vengeur du sang, échauffé par la colère et poursuivant le meurtrier, ne finisse par l'atteindre s'il y avait à faire beaucoup de chemin, et ne frappe mortellement celui qui ne mérite pas la mort, puisqu'il n'était point auparavant l'ennemi de son prochain. ⁷ C'est pourquoi je te donne cet ordre: Tu sépareras trois villes. ⁸ Lorsque l'Eternel, ton Dieu, aura élargi tes frontières, comme il l'a juré à tes pères, et qu'il t'aura donné tout le pays qu'il a promis à tes pères de te donner, - ⁹ pourvu que tu observes et mettes en pratique tous ces commandements que je te prescris aujourd'hui, en sorte que tu aimes l'Eternel, ton Dieu, et que tu marches toujours dans ses voies, -tu ajouteras encore trois villes à ces trois-là, ¹⁰ afin que le sang innocent ne soit pas répandu au milieu du pays que l'Eternel, ton Dieu, te donne pour héritage, et que tu ne sois pas coupable de meurtre.

3 H3559 Tu établiras H8686 H1870 des routes H8027 , et tu diviseras en trois parties H8765 H1366 le territoire H776 du pays H3068 que l’Eternel H430 , ton Dieu H5157 , va te donner en héritage H8686 H7523 . Il en sera ainsi afin que tout meurtrier H8802 H5127 puisse s’enfuir H8800 dans ces villes.

4 H1697 Cette loi H7523 s’appliquera au meurtrier H8802 H5127 qui s’enfuira H8799 H2425 là pour sauver sa vie H8804 H1097 , lorsqu’il aura involontairement H1847 H5221 tué H8686 H7453 son prochain H8543 , sans avoir été auparavant H8032 H8130 son ennemi H8802 .

5 H935 Un homme, par exemple, va H8799 H2404 couper H8800 H6086 du bois H3293 dans la forêt H7453 avec un autre homme H1631 ; la hache H3027 en main H5080 , il s’élance H8738 H3772 pour abattre H8800 H6086 un arbre H1270 ; le fer H5394 échappe H8804 H6086 du manche H4672 , atteint H8804 H7453 le compagnon H4191 de cet homme, et lui donne la mort H8804 H5127 .

7 H6680 C’est pourquoi je te donne cet ordre H8764 H559 H8800 H914 : Tu sépareras H8686 H7969 trois H5892 villes.

8 H3068 Lorsque l’Eternel H430 , ton Dieu H7337 , aura élargi H8686 H1366 tes frontières H7650 , comme il l’a juré H8738 H1 à tes pères H5414 , et qu’il t’aura donné H8804 H776 tout le pays H1696 qu’il a promis H8765 H1 à tes pères H5414 de te donner H8800 , —

9 H8104 pourvu que tu observes H8799 H6213 et mettes en pratique H8800 H4687 tous ces commandements H6680 que je te prescris H8764 H3117 aujourd’hui H157 , en sorte que tu aimes H8800 H3068 l’Eternel H430 , ton Dieu H3212 , et que tu marches H8800 H3117 toujours H1870 dans ses voies H3254 , — tu ajouteras H8804 H7969 encore trois H5892 villes H7969 à ces trois-là,

10 H1818 afin que le sang H5355 innocent H8210 ne soit pas répandu H8735 H7130 au milieu H776 du pays H3068 que l’Eternel H430 , ton Dieu H5414 , te donne H8802 H5159 pour héritage H1818 , et que tu ne sois pas coupable de meurtre.

5 H7453 就如人与邻舍 H935 同入 H3293 树林 H2404 砍伐 H6086 树木 H3027 ，手 H1631 拿斧子 H5080 一砍 H3772 ，本想砍下 H6086 树木 H1270 ，不料，斧头 H5394 脱了 H6086 把 H4672 ，飞落 H7453 在邻舍 H4191 身上，以致于死 H5127 ，这人逃 H259 到那些城的一 H5892 座城 H2425 ，就可以存活，

6 H1350 免得报 H1818 血 H3824 仇的，心 H3179 中火热 H7291 追赶 H310 H7523 他 H3588 ，因 H1870 路 H7235 远 H5381 就追上 H5315 ，将他 H5221 杀死 H4941 ；其实他不该 H4194 死 H3588 ，因为 H8543 H8032 他与被杀的素无 H8130 仇恨。

7 H6680 所以我吩咐 H559 你说 H914 ，要分定 H7969 叁 H5892 座城。

Atunci el să fugă într'una din cetăţile acestea ca să-şi scape viaţa; ⁶ pentru ca nu cumva răsbunătorul sîngelui, aprins de mînie şi urmărind pe ucigaş, să -l ajungă, fiind prea lung drumul, şi să lovească de moarte pe cel ce nu era vinovat de moarte, fiindcă mai înainte nu fusese vrăjmaş aproapelui său. ⁷ De aceea îţi dau porunca aceasta: Să desparţi trei cetăţi. ⁸ Cînd Domnul, Dumnezeul tău, îţi va lărgi hotarele, cum a jurat părinţilor tăi, şi-ţi va da toată ţara pe care a făgăduit părinţilor tăi că ţi -o va da, ⁹ -numai să păzeşti şi să împlineşti toate aceste porunci pe cari ţi le dau astăzi, ca să iubeşti pe Domnul, Dumnezeul tău, şi să umbli totdeauna pe căile Lui-atunci să mai adaugi trei cetăţi la cele trei, ¹⁰ pentruca să nu fie vărsat sîngele celui nevinovat în mijlocul ţării pe care ţi -o dă de moştenire Domnul, Dumnezeul tău, şi astfel să fii vinovat de omor.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Коли Господь, Бог твій, повигублює народи, що Господь, Бог твій, дає тобі їхній Край, і ти повиганяєш їх, і осядеш по їхніх містах та по їхніх домах, ² то три місті відділиш собі в середині свого Краю, що Господь, Бог твій, дає його тобі на володіння. ³ Приготуєш собі дорогу, і поділиш натроє землю твого Краю, що Господь, Бог твій, дає тобі на спадок, і це буде на втікання туди кожного убійника. ⁴ А оце справа убійника, що втече туди й буде жити: хто вб'є свого ближнього ненароком, а він не був ворогом його від учора й позавчора; ⁵ або хто ввійде з своїм ближнім до лісу рубати дерева, і розмахнеться рука його з сокирою, щоб зрубати дерево, а залізо спаде з топорища й попаде в його ближнього, і той помре, то він утече до одного з тих міст, і буде жити, ⁶ щоб не гнався месник за кров за убійником, коли розпалиться серце його, і щоб не догнав його, якщо буде довга та дорога, і не вбив його, хоч він не підлягає смерті, бо не був він ворогом його від учора й позавчора. ⁷ Тому то я наказую тобі, говорячи: Три місті відділиш собі. ⁸ А якщо Господь, Бог твій, розширить границю твою, як присягнув був батькам твоїм, і дасть тобі всю оцю землю, що говорив був дати батькам твоїм, ⁹ коли ти будеш додержувати всі ці заповіді, щоб виконувати їх, що я наказую тобі сьогодні, щоб любити Господа, Бога свого, і щоб ходити дорогами Його всі дні, то додаси собі ще три місті понад ті три, ¹⁰ щоб не була пролита неповинна кров серед твого Краю, що Господь, Бог твій, дає тобі на спадок, і не буде на тобі кров.
