4 H5127 [H8804] And when he that doth flee H259 to one H5892 of those cities H5975 [H8804] shall stand H6607 at the entrance H8179 of the gate H5892 of the city H1696 [H8765] , and shall declare H1697 his cause H241 in the ears H2205 of the elders H5892 of that city H622 [H8804] , they shall take H5892 him into the city H5414 [H8804] to them, and give H4725 him a place H3427 [H8804] , that he may dwell among them.

5 H1350 [H8802] And if the avenger H1818 of blood H7291 H310 [H8799] shall pursue H5462 [H8686] him, then they shall not deliver H7523 [H8802] the slayer H3027 into his hand H5221 [H8689] ; because he smote H7453 his neighbour H1097 H1847 unknowingly H8130 [H8802] , and had not hated H8543 H8032 him in times past.

6 H3427 [H8804] And he shall dwell H5892 in that city H5975 [H8800] , until he shall stand H6440 before H5712 the congregation H4941 for judgment H4194 , and until the death H1419 of the high H3548 priest H834 that H3117 shall be in those days H7523 [H8802] : then shall the slayer H7725 [H8799] return H935 [H8804] , and come H5892 to his own city H1004 , and to his own house H5892 , to the city H5127 [H8804] from which he fled.

7 H6942 [H8686] And they appointed H6943 Kedesh H1551 in Galilee H2022 in mount H5321 Naphtali H7927 , and Shechem H2022 in mount H669 Ephraim H7153 , and Kirjatharba H2275 , which is Hebron H2022 , in the mountain H3063 of Judah.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua, saying, ² `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Give for you cities of refuge, as I have spoken unto you by the hand of Moses, ³ for the fleeing thither of a man-slayer smiting life inadvertently, without knowledge; and they have been to you for a refuge from the redeemer of blood. ⁴ `When one hath fled unto one of these cities, and hath stood at the opening of the gate of the city, and hath spoken in the ears of the elders of that city his matter, then they have gathered him into the city unto them, and have given to him a place, and he hath dwelt with them. ⁵ `And when the redeemer of blood doth pursue after him, then they do not shut up the man-slayer into his hand, for without knowledge he hath smitten his neighbour, and is not hating him hitherto; ⁶ and he hath dwelt in that city till his standing before the company for judgment, till the death of the chief priest who is in those days—then doth the man-slayer turn back and hath come unto his city, and unto his house, unto the city whence he fled.'
⁷ And they sanctify Kedesh in Galilee, in the hill-country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and Kirjath-Arba (it is Hebron), in the hill-country of Judah; ⁸ and beyond the Jordan, at Jericho eastward, they have given Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain, out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh. ⁹ These have been cities of meeting for all the sons of Israel, and for a sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, for the fleeing thither of any one smiting life inadvertently, and he doth not die by the hand of the redeemer of blood till his standing before the company.

3 H7523 that the manslayer H5221 that killeth H5315 any person H7684 unwittingly H7684 and unawares H5127 may flee H4733 thither: and they shall be unto you for a refuge H1350 from the avenger H1818 of blood.

4 H5127 And he shall flee H259 unto one H5892 of those cities, H5975 and shall stand H6607 at the entrance H8179 of the gate H5892 of the city, H1696 and declare H1697 his cause H241 in the ears H2205 of the elders H5892 of that city; H622 and they shall take H5892 him into the city H5414 unto them, and give H4725 him a place, H3427 that he may dwell among them.

5 H1350 And if the avenger H1818 of blood H7291 pursue H310 after H5462 him, then they shall not deliver H7523 up the manslayer H3027 into his hand; H5221 because he smote H7453 his neighbor H1097 unawares, H8130 and hated H8543 him not beforetime.

6 H3427 And he shall dwell H5892 in that city, H5975 until he stand H6440 before H5712 the congregation H4941 for judgment, H4194 until the death H1419 of the high H3548 priest H834 that H3117 shall be in those days: H7523 then shall the manslayer H7725 return, H935 and come H5892 unto his own city, H1004 and unto his own house, H5892 unto the city H5127 from whence he fled.

8 H5676 And beyond H3383 the Jordan H3405 at Jericho H4217 eastward, H5414 they assigned H1221 Bezer H4057 in the wilderness H4334 in the plain H4294 out of the tribe H7205 of Reuben, H7216 and Ramoth H1568 in Gilead H4294 out of the tribe H1410 of Gad, H1474 and Golan H1316 in Bashan H4294 out of the tribe H4519 of Manasseh.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And the LORD spoke unto Joshua, saying: ² 'Speak to the children of Israel, saying: Assign you the cities of refuge, whereof I spoke unto you by the hand of Moses; ³ that the manslayer that killeth any person through error and unawares may flee thither; and they shall be unto you for a refuge from the avenger of blood. ⁴ And he shall flee unto one of those cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city; and they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them. ⁵ And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver up the manslayer into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unawares, and hated him not beforetime. ⁶ And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days; then may the manslayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled.' ⁷ And they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill-country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and Kiriath- arba - the same is Hebron - in the hill-country of Judah. ⁸ And beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness in the table-land out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh. ⁹ These were the appointed cities for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person through error might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Yahweh spake unto Joshua, saying: ² Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying,––Set out for you the cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you, by the hand of Moses: ³ that the manslayer who slayeth a person by mistake, unwittingly, may flee thither,––so shall they be unto you for refuge from the blood–redeemer, ⁴ and he shall flee unto one of these cities and present himself at the entrance of the gate of the city, and shall speak, in the ears of the elders of that city, his defence,––and they shall take him for protection into the city unto them, and shall give him a place, so shall he dwell with them. ⁵ And, when the blood–redeemer pursueth after him, then shall they not deliver up the manslayer, into his hand,––because, unwittingly, it was that he slew his neighbour, and had not been, cherishing hatred, towards him, aforetime; ⁶ so shall he remain in that city, until he standeth before the assembly, for judgment, until the death of the high–priest who shall be in those days,––then, shall the manslayer return, and enter into his own city, and into his own house, within the city from whence he fled.
⁷ So then they set apart Kadesh in Galilee, in the hill country of Naphtali, and Shechem, in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath–arba, the same, is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah. ⁸ And, beyond the Jordan, by Jericho eastward, they appointed Bezer in the wilderness, in the table–land, out of the tribe of Reuben,––and Ramoth in Gilead, out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan, out of the tribe of Manasseh. ⁹ These, were the cities appointed for all the sons of Israel, and for the sojourner who sojourneth in their midst, that whosoever should slay a person by mistake, might flee thither,––and not die by the hand of the blood–redeemer, until he should stand before the assembly.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Yahweh speaks unto Joshua, saying, ² `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Give for you cities of refuge, as I have spoken unto you by the hand of Moses, ³ for the fleeing thither of a man-slayer smiting life inadvertently, without knowledge; and they have been to you for a refuge from the redeemer of blood. ⁴ `When [one] has fled unto one of these cities, and has stood [at] the opening of the gate of the city, and has spoken in the ears of the elders of that city his matter, then they have gathered him into the city unto them, and have given to him a place, and he has dwelt with them. ⁵ `And when the redeemer of blood does pursue after him, then they do not shut up the man-slayer into his hand, for without knowledge he has smitten his neighbor, and is not hating him hitherto;" ⁶ and he has dwelt in that city till his standing before the company for judgment, till the death of the chief priest who is in those days--then does the man-slayer turn back and has come unto his city, and unto his house, unto the city whence he fled.. ⁷ And they sanctify Kedesh in Galilee, in the hill-country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and Kirjath-Arba (it [is] Hebron), in the hill-country of Judah;" ⁸ and beyond the Jordan, [at] Jericho eastward, they have given Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain, out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh. ⁹ These have been cities of meeting for all the sons of Israel, and for a sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, for the fleeing thither of any one smiting life inadvertently, and he does not die by the hand of the redeemer of blood till his standing before the company.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And the Lord said to Joshua, ² Say to the children of Israel, Let certain towns be marked out as safe places, as I said to you by the mouth of Moses, ³ So that any man who in error and without design has taken the life of another, may go in flight to them: and they will be safe places for you from him who has the right of punishment for blood. ⁴ And if anyone goes in flight to one of those towns, and comes into the public place of the town, and puts his cause before the responsible men of the town, they will take him into the town and give him a place among them where he may be safe. ⁵ And if the one who has the right of punishment comes after him, they are not to give the taker of life up to him; because he was the cause of his neighbour's death without designing it and not in hate. ⁶ And he is to go on living in that town till he has to come before the meeting of the people to be judged; till the death of him who is high priest at that time: then the taker of life may come back to his town and to his house, to the town from which he had gone in flight. ⁷ So they made selection of Kedesh in Galilee in the hill-country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba which is Hebron in the hill-country of Judah. ⁸ And on the east side of Jordan at Jericho, they made selection of Bezer in the waste land, in the table-land, out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh. ⁹ These were the towns marked out for all the children of Israel and for the man from a strange country living among them, so that anyone causing the death of another in error, might go in flight there, and not be put to death by him who has the right of punishment for blood till he had come before the meeting of the people.

And they shall take him into the city to themselves and make him a place, and he shall live with them. ⁵ And if the avenger of blood pursues him, then they shall not deliver the manslayer into his hand, for he has struck his neighbor without knowing, and did not hate him in past time. ⁶ And he shall live in that city until he stands before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest who is in those days. Then the manslayer shall return and come to his city, and to his house, to the city from where he fled. ⁷ And they set apart Kadesh in Galilee, in the hills of Naphtali; and Shechem in the hills of Ephraim; and Kirjath-arba (it is Hebron) in the hills of Judah. ⁸ And beyond the Jordan, at Jericho eastward, they gave Bezer in the wilderness, on the tableland out of the tribe of Reuben; and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad; and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh. ⁹ These were the appointed cities for all the sons of Israel, and for the alien who was living in their midst, that he who had killed anyone without knowing might flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.

Then the manslayer shall return and come to his city, and to his house, to the city from where he fled. ⁷ And they set apart Kadesh in Galilee, in the hills of Naphtali; and Shechem in the hills of Ephraim; and Kirjath-arba; (it is Hebron) in the hills of Judah. ⁸ And beyond the Jordan, at Jericho eastward, they gave Bezer in the wilderness, on the tableland out of the tribe of Reuben; and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad; and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh. ⁹ These were the appointed cities for all the sons of Israel, and for the alien who was living in their midst, that he who had struck anyone mortally without knowing might flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying, ² Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Assign the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you by Moses. ³ Even a refuge to the manslayer who has killed a man unintentionally; and the cities shall be to you a refuge, and the manslayer shall not be put to death by the avenger of blood, until he has stood before the congregation for judgment. ⁴ (TEXT OMITTED) ⁵ (TEXT OMITTED) ⁶ (TEXT OMITTED) ⁷ And Joshua separated Kadesh in Galilee in the mountains of Nephthali, and Shechem in the mountains of Ephraim, and the city of Arba; this is Hebron, in the mountains of Judah. ⁸ And beyond the Jordan he appointed Bezer in the wilderness in the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in the country of Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh. ⁹ These were the cities selected for the sons of Israel, and for the stranger abiding among them, that everyone who kills a man unintentionally should flee to there, that he should not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he should stand before the congregation for judgment.

LXX2012⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying, ² Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Assign the cities of refuge, [of] which I spoke to you by Moses. ³ [Even] a refuge to the slayer who has struck a man unintentionally; and the cities shall be to you a refuge, and the slayer shall not be put to death by the avenger of blood, until he have stood before the congregation for judgment. ⁴ And Joshua separated Cades in Galilee in the mount Nephthali, and Sychem in the mount Ephraim, and the city of Arboc; this is Chebron, in the mountain of Juda. ⁵ And beyond Jordan he appointed Bosor in the wilderness in the plain out of the tribe of Ruben, and Aremoth in Galaad out of the tribe of Gad, and Gaulon in the country of Basan out of the tribe of Manasse. ⁶ These [were] the cities selected for the sons of Israel, and for the stranger dwelling among them, that every one who smites a soul unintentionally should flee there, that he should not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he should stand before the congregation for judgment.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying: ² Speak to the children of Israel and say: »Designate cities of refuge just as Moses directed. ³ »Anyone who kills someone accidentally and unintentionally may go there for a refuge from the avenger of blood. ⁴ »When you flee to one of these cities you must go to the place of judgment at the entrance to the city, and explain to the leaders what happened. Then they will let you into the city and give you a place to live in, so that you can stay there. ⁵ »If the one looking for revenge follows you there, the people of the city must not hand you over to that one. They must protect you because you killed the person accidentally and not out of anger. ⁶ »You may stay in the city until you have received a public trial and until the death of the man who is then the High Priest. Then you may go back home to your own town, from which you had run away.« ⁷ So, on the west side of the Jordan River they set aside Kedesh in Galilee, in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem, in the hill country of Ephraim and Hebron, in the hill country of Judah. ⁸ East of the Jordan, on the desert plateau east of Jericho, they chose Bezer in the territory of Reuben; Ramoth in Gilead, in the territory of Gad; and Golan in Bashan, in the territory of Manasseh. ⁹ These were the cities of refuge chosen for all the people of Israel and for any foreigner living among them. Any who killed a person accidentally could find protection there from the one looking for revenge. They could not be killed unless they had first received a public trial.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The Cities of Refuge
Then the LORD told Joshua, ² “Tell the people of Israel to set apart cities of refuge about which I spoke to you through Moses, ³ so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally and without premeditation may run there and be protected from closely related avengers. ⁴ He may run to one of those cities, stand at the entrance to the city gate, and tell his side of the story to the elders of the city. They are to bring him inside the city with them and provide him a place to live among them. ⁵ Now if the closely related avenger pursues him, then they are not to hand the killer over to him, because he killed his neighbor without premeditation and without hating him beforehand. ⁶ He is to live in that city until he stands trial before the community, until the death of the one who is high priest at that time. Then the killer may return to his own city and to his own home, that is, to the city from which he fled.”
⁷ So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (also known as Hebron) in the hill country of Judah. ⁸ East of Jericho beyond the Jordan River, they reserved Bezer in the wilderness on the plain from the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan from the tribe of Manasseh. ⁹ These were appointed to be cities for all the Israelis and for the foreigner who lives among them, so that whoever kills anyone unintentionally may run there and not die at the hands of a closely related avenger until he stands for trial before the community.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying, ² "Speak to the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* saying, 'Appoint for yourselves cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you through the hand of Moses. ³ Anyone who kills a person by accident or unintentionally* may flee there; they will be for yourselves a refuge from the avenger of blood. ⁴ The killer will flee to one of these cities, stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and _⌊state his case to the elders of that city_⌋;* and they will take him* into the city and give him a place, and he will dwell among them. ⁵ And if the avenger of blood pursues after him, they will not hand over the killer into his hand, because he killed his neighbor unintentionally, and _⌊he did not hate him previously_⌋.* ⁶ The killer will stay in that city until he stands before the congregation for the trial, until the death of the one who is the high priest in those days. Then _⌊the killer will return_⌋* to his city and to his house, to the city from which he fled.'" ⁷ So _⌊they set apart_⌋* Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath Arba* (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah. ⁸ Beyond the Jordan east of Jericho, they appointed Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau, from the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead, from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in the Bashan, from the tribe of Manasseh. ⁹ These were the cities designated for all the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* and for the foreigners* dwelling among them, for anyone that kills a person unintentionally to flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, _⌊until there is a trial_⌋* before the congregation.

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then the LORD said to Joshua, ² “Tell the Israelites to designate the cities of refuge, as I instructed you through Moses, ³ so that anyone who kills another unintentionally or accidentally may flee there. These will be your refuge from the avenger of blood. ⁴ When someone flees to one of these cities, stands at the entrance of the city gate, and states his case before its elders, they are to bring him into the city and give him a place to live among them. ⁵ Now if the avenger of blood pursues him, they must not surrender the manslayer into his hand, because that man killed his neighbor accidentally without prior malice. ⁶ He is to stay in that city until he stands trial before the assembly and until the death of the high priest serving at that time. Then the manslayer may return to his own home in the city from which he fled.” ⁷ So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah. ⁸ And beyond the Jordan, east of Jericho, they designated Bezer on the wilderness plateau from the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan from the tribe of Manasseh. ⁹ These are the cities appointed for all the Israelites and foreigners among them, so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood prior to standing trial before the assembly.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying, ² Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, Assign for you* the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you* by Moses, ³ that the manslayer who kills any soul unwittingly and unawares may flee there. And they will be to you* for a refuge from the avenger of blood. ⁴ And he will flee to one of those cities and will stand at the entrance of the gate of the city and declare his case in the ears of the elders of that city. And they will take him into the city to them and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
⁵ And if the avenger of blood pursues after him, then they will not deliver up the manslayer into his hand, because he killed* his neighbor unawares and did not hate him formerly. ⁶ And he will dwell in that city, until he stands before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest who will be in those days. Then the manslayer will return and come to his own city and to his own house, to the city from where he fled.
⁷ And they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill-country of Naphtali and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim and Kiriath-arba (what is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah. ⁸ And beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness in the plain out of the tribe of Reuben and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.
⁹ These were the appointed cities for all the sons of Israel and for the stranger who travels among them, that whoever kills any soul unwittingly might flee there and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood until he stood before the congregation.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then the LORD said to Joshua, ² "Tell the people of Israel, 'Set apart cities of refuge about which I spoke to you through Moses, ³ »anyone who kills someone accidentally and unintentionally may go there for a refuge from the avenger of blood. ⁴ The killer will flee to one of these cities, stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and state his case to the elders of that city; and they will take him into the city and give him a place, and he will dwell among them. ⁵ And if the avenger of blood pursues after him, they will not hand over the killer into his hand, because he killed his neighbor unintentionally, and he did not hate him previously. ⁶ He shall live in that city until he stands trial before the community, until the death of the one who is high priest at that time. Then the killer may return to his own city and to his own home, that is, to the city from which he fled.'" ⁷ So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah. ⁸ Beyond the Jordan east of Jericho, they appointed Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau, from the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead, from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in the Bashan, from the tribe of Manasseh. ⁹ These were the appointed cities for all the children of Israel, and for the alien who lives among them, that whoever kills any person unintentionally might flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stands trial before the congregation.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Et le Seigneur parla à Josué, disant: ² Parle aux fils d’Israël, dis-leur: Donnez les villes de refuge que je vous ai dites par Moïse; ³ Villes de refuge pour le meurtrier qui involontairement aura frappé à mort; ces villes seront pour vous des refuges, et le meurtrier ne sera point tué par le vengeur du sang, avant d’avoir comparu en jugement devant la synagogue. ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ ⁷ ¶ Josué désigna donc Cadès, en Galilée, dans les montagnes de Nephthali; Sichem, dans les montagnes d’Ephraïm; la ville d’Arboc, la même qu’Hébron, dans les montagnes de Juda. ⁸ Et au delà du Jourdain, il désigna Bosor dans le désert, dans la plaine de la tribu de Ruben; Arémoth, en Galaad, de la tribu de Gad, et, dans le royaume de Basan, Gaulon, de la tribu de Manassé. ⁹ Telles sont les villes qui furent choisies pour les fils d’Israël, et pour le prosélyte résidant parmi eux, afin de servir de refuge à tout homme qui porterait involontairement un coup mortel, et afin qu’il ne pérît pas, de la main du vengeur de sang, avant d’avoir comparu en jugement devant la synagogue.

Et l'Éternel parla à Josué, disant: ² Parle aux fils d'Israël, en disant: Établissez-vous les villes de refuge dont je vous ai parlé par Moïse, ³ afin que l'homicide qui, par mégarde, aura frappé à mort quelqu'un sans le savoir, s'y enfuie; et elles vous serviront de refuge devant le vengeur du sang. ⁴ Et l'homicide s'enfuira dans l'une de ces villes, et il se tiendra à l'entrée de la porte de la ville, et dira aux oreilles des anciens de cette ville l'affaire qui lui est arrivée; et ils le recueilleront auprès d'eux dans la ville et lui donneront un lieu pour habiter avec eux. ⁵ Et si le vengeur du sang le poursuit, ils ne livreront pas l'homicide en sa main; car c'est sans le savoir qu'il a frappé son prochain: il ne le haïssait pas auparavant. ⁶ Et il habitera dans cette ville, jusqu'à ce qu'il comparaisse en jugement devant l'assemblée, jusqu'à la mort du grand sacrificateur qui sera en ces jours-là; alors l'homicide s'en retournera et reviendra dans sa ville et dans sa maison, dans la ville d'où il s'était enfui. ⁷
Et ils sanctifièrent Kédesh, en Galilée, dans la montagne de Nephthali; et Sichem, dans la montagne d'Éphraïm; et Kiriath-Arba, qui est Hébron, dans la montagne de Juda. ⁸ Et au delà du Jourdain de Jéricho, vers le levant, ils établirent, de la tribu de Ruben, Bétser, dans le désert, sur le plateau; et Ramoth, en Galaad, de la tribu de Gad; et Golan, en Basan, de la tribu de Manassé. ⁹ Ce furent là les villes assignées à tous les fils d'Israël et à l'étranger qui séjournait parmi eux, afin que quiconque aurait, par mégarde, frappé à mort quelqu'un, s'y enfuît, et ne mourût pas de la main du vengeur du sang, jusqu'à ce qu'il eût comparu devant l'assemblée.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Puis l'Eternel parla à Josué en disant : ² Parle aux enfants d'Israël, et leur dis : Etablissez-vous les villes de refuge desquelles je vous ai parlé par le moyen de Moïse. ³ Afin que le meurtrier qui aura tué quelqu'un par ignorance, sans y penser, s'y enfuie, et elles vous seront pour refuge devant celui qui a le droit de venger le sang. ⁴ Et le meurtrier s'enfuira dans l'une de ces villes-là, et s'arrêtera à l'entrée de la porte de la ville, et il dira ses raisons aux Anciens de cette ville-là, lesquels l'écouteront, et le recevront chez eux dans la ville, et lui donneront un lieu, afin qu'il demeure avec eux. ⁵ Et quand celui qui a le droit de venger le sang le poursuivra, ils ne le livreront point en sa main; puisque c'est sans y penser qu'il a tué son prochain, et qu'il ne le haïssait point auparavant; ⁶ Mais il demeurera dans cette ville-là, jusqu'à ce qu'il comparaisse devant l'assemblée en jugement, même jusqu'à la mort du souverain Sacrificateur qui sera en ce temps-là; alors le meurtrier retournera, et viendra dans sa ville et dans sa maison, à la ville dont il s'en sera fui. ⁷ Ils consacrèrent donc Kédès dans la Galilée en la montagne de Nephthali; et Sichem en la montagne d'Ephraïm, et Kirjath-Arbah, qui est Hébron, en la montagne de Juda. ⁸ Et au delà du Jourdain de Jérico vers le Levant ils ordonnèrent de la Tribu de Ruben, Betser au désert dans le plat pays, et Ramoth en Galaad, de la Tribu de Gad, et Golan en Basan, de la Tribu de Manassé. ⁹ Ce furent là les villes assignées à tous les enfants d'Israël, et à l'étranger demeurant parmi eux, afin que quiconque aurait tué quelqu'un par ignorance s'enfuît là, et ne mourût point de la main de celui qui a le droit de venger le sang, jusqu'à ce qu'il comparût devant l'assemblée.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ L'Eternel parla à Josué, et dit: ² Parle aux enfants d'Israël, et dis: Etablissez-vous, comme je vous l'ai ordonné par Moïse, des villes de refuge, ³ où pourra s'enfuir le meurtrier qui aura tué quelqu'un involontairement, sans intention; elles vous serviront de refuge contre le vengeur du sang. ⁴ Le meurtrier s'enfuira vers l'une de ces villes, s'arrêtera à l'entrée de la porte de la ville, et exposera son cas aux anciens de cette ville; ils le recueilleront auprès d'eux dans la ville, et lui donneront une demeure, afin qu'il habite avec eux. ⁵ Si le vengeur du sang le poursuit, ils ne livreront point le meurtrier entre ses mains; car c'est sans le vouloir qu'il a tué son prochain, et sans avoir été auparavant son ennemi. ⁶ Il restera dans cette ville jusqu'à ce qu'il ait comparu devant l'assemblée pour être jugé, jusqu'à la mort du souverain sacrificateur alors en fonctions. A cette époque, le meurtrier s'en retournera et rentrera dans sa ville et dans sa maison, dans la ville d'où il s'était enfui. ⁷ Ils consacrèrent Kédesch, en Galilée, dans la montagne de Nephthali; Sichem, dans la montagne d'Ephraïm; et Kirjath-Arba, qui est Hébron, dans la montagne de Juda. ⁸ Et de l'autre côté du Jourdain, à l'orient de Jéricho, ils choisirent Betser, dans le désert, dans la plaine, dans la tribu de Ruben; Ramoth, en Galaad, dans la tribu de Gad; et Golan, en Basan, dans la tribu de Manassé. ⁹ Telles furent les villes désignées pour tous les enfants d'Israël et pour l'étranger en séjour au milieu d'eux, afin que celui qui aurait tué quelqu'un involontairement pût s'y réfugier, et qu'il ne mourût pas de la main du vengeur du sang avant d'avoir comparu devant l'assemblée.

А потом пусть возвратится убийца и пойдет в город свой и в дом свой, в город, из которого он убежал. ⁷ И отделили Кедес в Галилее на горе Неффалимовой, Сихем на гореЕфремовой, и Кириаф-Арбы, иначе Хеврон, на горе Иудиной; ⁸ за Иорданом, против Иерихона к востоку, отделили: Бецер в пустыне, на равнине, от колена Рувимова, и Рамоф в Галааде от колена Гадова, и Голан в Васане от колена Манассиина; ⁹ сии города назначены для всех сынов Израилевых и для пришельцев, живущих у них, дабы убегал туда всякий, убивший человека по ошибке, дабы не умер он отруки мстящего за кровь, доколе не предстанет пред общество на суд .

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ И ГОСПОД говори на Иисус и каза: ² Говори на израилевите синове и им кажи: Определете си прибежищните градове, за които ви говорих чрез Мойсей, ³ за да прибягва там убиецът, който убие човек неволно, без умисъл; и те да ви бъдат за прибежище от отмъстителя за кръвта. ⁴ И когато той избяга в един от тези градове, да застане при входа на градската порта и да заяви делото си на всеослушание пред старейшините на онзи град; и те да го приемат при себе си в града и да му дадат място да живее между тях. ⁵ А ако отмъстителят за кръвта го преследва, да не предават убиеца в ръката му, защото той е ударил ближния си без умисъл и не го е мразил преди това. ⁶ И да живее в онзи град, докато застане пред обществото на съд и до смъртта на първосвещеника, който е по онова време. Тогава убиецът може да се върне и да дойде в града си и в дома си, в града, от който е избягал. ⁷ И отделиха Кедес в Галилея, в хълмистата земя на Нефталим и Сихем в хълмистата страна на Ефрем, и Кириат-Арва, който е Хеврон, в хълмистата земя на Юда. ⁸ А оттатък Йордан, срещу Ерихон, на изток, определиха Восор в пустинята на равнината, от племето на Рувим, и Рамот в Галаад, от племето на Гад, и Голан във Васан, от племето на Манасия. ⁹ Това бяха градовете, определени за всичките израилеви синове и за чужденеца, който живееше между тях, за да прибягва там всеки, който убие някого неволно, и да не умре от ръката на отмъстителя за кръвта, преди да застане пред обществото.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Jahve reče Jošui: ² "Kaži sinovima Izraelovim i reci im: 'Odredite sebi gradove-utočišta za koje sam vam govorio preko Mojsija, ³ da bi onamo mogao pobjeći ubojica koji nehotice ubije koga i da vam budu utočišta od krvnoga osvetnika. ⁴ Ako ubojica utekne u koji od tih gradova, neka stane pred gradska vrata i neka starješinama toga grada iznese svoju stvar. Oni neka ga prime u svoj grad i odrede mu mjesto gdje će prebivati među njima. ⁵ Ako ga krvni osvetnik progoni, ne smiju izručiti ubojicu u njegove ruke: tÓa nehotice je ubio svoga bližnjega, a ne iz mržnje. ⁶ Ubojica neka ostane u tom gradu sve dok ne stupi pred sud zajednice ili do smrti velikoga svećenika koji bude u ono vrijeme. Tada neka se ubojica vrati i neka ode u svoj grad i svome domu - u grad iz kojega je utekao.'" ⁷ I posvete Kedeš u Galileji, u Naftalijevoj gori; Šekem u Efrajimovoj gori; Kirjat-Arbu, to jest Hebron, u Judinoj gori. ⁸ S druge strane Jordana, istočno od Jerihona, odrede Beser u pustinji, u ravnici plemena Rubenova, i Ramot u Gileadu od plemena Gadova, i Golan u Bašanu od plemena Manašeova. ⁹ To su bili gradovi određeni svim Izraelcima i došljacima koji borave među njima: ovamo je mogao uteći svaki koji nehotice drugoga ubije, a da sam ne pogine od osvetničke ruke dok ne izađe na sud, pred zajednicu.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I mluvil Hospodin k Jozue, řka: ² Mluv k synům Izraelským, a rci jim:Oddejte z těch měst vašich města útočišťná, o nichž jsem mluvil vám skrze Mojžíše, ³ Aby tam utekl vražedlník, kterýž by zabil člověka nechtě a z nevědomí. I budou vám útočiště před přítelem zabitého. ⁴ A když by utekl do jednoho z těch měst, stane u vrat v bráně města, a oznámí starším města toho při svou; i přijmou ho do města k sobě, a dají mu místo, i bydliti bude u nich. ⁵ Když by jej pak honil přítel toho zabitého, nevydají vražedlníka v ruce jeho; nebo nechtě udeřil bližního svého, neměv ho prvé v nenávisti. ⁶ A bydliti bude v městě tom, dokudž nestane před shromážděním k soudu, až do smrti kněze velikého, kterýž by byl toho času; nebo tehdáž navrátí se vražedlník, a přijde do města svého a do domu svého, do města, odkudž utekl. ⁷ I oddělili Kádes v Galilei na hoře Neftalím, a Sichem na hoře Efraim, a město Arbe, (jenž jest Hebron,) na hoře Juda. ⁸ Před Jordánem pak proti Jerichu k východu oddělili Bozor, kteréž leží na poušti v rovině pokolení Rubenova, a Rámot v Galád z pokolení Gádova, a Golan v Bázan z pokolení Manassesova. ⁹ Ta města byla útočišťná všechněm synům Izraelským, i příchozímu, kterýž pohostinu jest mezi nimi, aby utekl tam, kdo by koli zabil někoho nechtě, a nesešel od ruky přítele toho zabitého prvé, než by stál před shromážděním.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Og HERREN talede til Josva og sagde: ² Tal til Israels Børn, sigende: Afgiver for eder de Tilflugtsstæder, om hvilke jeg talede til eder ved Mose, ³ at en Manddraber, som af Vaade, uforsætlig slaar en Person ihjel, kan fly derhen, og at de kunne være eder til Tilflugt; for Blodhævneren. ⁴ Og han skal fly til en af disse Stæder, og han skal staa uden for Indgangen til Stadens Port og tale sine Ord for de Ældstes Øren af samme Stad, saa skulle de tage ham ind i Staden til sig og give ham et Sted, hvor han kan bo hos dem. ⁵ Og naar Blodhævneren forfølger ham, da skulle de ikke overantvorde Manddraberen i hans Haand, efterdi han slog sin Næste uforsætlig og ikke tilforn var hans Fjende. ⁶ Saa skal han bo i den samme Stad, indtil han har staaet for Menighedens Ansigt for Retten, indtil den Ypperstepræst, som var i de Dage, er død; da maa Manddraberen vende tilbage og komme til sin Stad og til sit Hus, til Staden, hvorfra han flyede. ⁷ Saa helligede de Kedes i Galilæa paa Nafthali Bjerg og Sikem paa, Efraims Bjerg og Kirjath-Arba, det er Hebron, paa Judas Bjerg. ⁸ Og paa hin Side Jordanen ved Jeriko, mod Østen, afgav de Bezer i Ørken paa Sletten af Rubens Stamme og Ramoth i Gilead af Gads Stamme og Golan i Basan af Manasse, Stamme. ⁹ Disse var de Stæder, som vare beskikkede for, alle Israels Børn og for den fremmede, som var fremmed midt iblandt dem, at hver den, som slog en Person af Vaade, maatte fly derhen, at han ikke skulde dø ved Blodhævnerens Haand, inden han havde staaet for Menighedens Ansigt.

CUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 耶和華曉諭約書亞說： ² 你吩咐以色列人說：你們要照著我藉摩西所曉諭你們的，為自己設立逃城， ³ 使那無心而誤殺人的，可以逃到那裡。這些城可以作你們逃避報血仇人的地方。 ⁴ 那殺人的要逃到這些城中的一座城，站在城門口，將他的事情說給城內的長老們聽。他們就把他收進城裡，給他地方，使他住在他們中間。 ⁵ 若是報血仇的追了他來，長老不可將他交在報血仇的手裡；因為他是素無仇恨，無心殺了人的。 ⁶ 他要住在那城裡，站在會眾面前聽審判，等到那時的大祭司死了，殺人的纔可以回到本城本家，就是他所逃出來的那城。 ⁷ 於是，以色列人在拿弗他利山地分定加利利的基低斯；在以法蓮山地分定示劍；在猶大山地分定基列亞巴（基列亞巴就是希伯崙）； ⁸ 又在約但河外耶利哥東，從流便支派中，在曠野的平原，設立比悉；從迦得支派中設立基列的拉末；從瑪拿西支派中設立巴珊的哥蘭。 ⁹ 這都是為以色列眾人和在他們中間寄居的外人所分定的地邑，使誤殺人的都可以逃到那裡，不死在報血仇人的手中，等他站在會眾面前聽審判。

Esperanto⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Josuo, dirante: ² Diru al la Izraelidoj jene:Arangxu al vi la urbojn de rifugxo, pri kiuj Mi parolis al vi per Moseo, ³ por ke tien povu forkuri mortiginto, kiu mortigis homon per eraro kaj ne sciante; kaj ili estu cxe vi rifugxejo kontraux vengxanto pro sango. ⁴ Kaj li forkuros al unu el tiuj urboj, kaj starigxos antaux la pordego de la urbo, kaj rakontos al la plejagxuloj de tiu urbo sian aferon; kaj ili enprenos lin en la urbon al si, kaj donos al li lokon, por ke li logxu cxe ili. ⁵ Kaj kiam la sangovengxanto postkuros lin, ili ne transdonu la mortiginton en liajn manojn; cxar senintence li mortigis sian proksimulon, kaj ne estis malamiko de li de antauxe. ⁶ Kaj li logxos en tiu urbo, gxis li starigxos antaux la komunumo por jugxo, gxis la morto de la granda pastro, kiu estos en tiu tempo. Tiam la mortiginto reiru, kaj venu en sian urbon kaj al sia domo, en la urbon, el kiu li forkuris. ⁷ Kaj ili konsekris la urbon Kedesx en Galileo, sur la monto de Naftali, kaj SXehxem, sur la monto de Efraim, kaj Kirjat-Arba (tio estas HXebron), sur la monto de Jehuda. ⁸ Kaj transe de Jordan, oriente de Jerihxo, ili donis:Becer, en la dezerto, sur la ebenajxo, de la tribo de Ruben, kaj Ramot en Gilead, de la tribo de Gad, kaj Golan en Basxan, de la tribo de Manase. ⁹ Tiuj urboj estis destinitaj por cxiuj Izraelidoj, kaj por la fremduloj, kiuj logxas inter ili, por ke tien povu forkuri cxiu, kiu mortigis homon per eraro, kaj por ke li ne mortu de la mano de sangovengxanto, gxis li starigxos antaux la komunumo.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ja Herra puhui Josualle ja sanoi: ² Puhu Israelin lapsille, sanoen: asettakaat teille muutamia vapaakaupungeita, joista minä teille puhuin Moseksen kautta, ³ Että sinne sais paeta miehentappaja, joka jonkun lyö tapaturmaisesti ja tietämätä, että he teidän seassanne olisivat vapaat verenkostajalta. ⁴ Ja joka pakenee johonkuhun niistä kaupungeista, hänen pitää seisoman ulkona kaupungin portin edessä ja jutteleman vanhinten edessä syynsä, niin pitää heidän ottaman hänen kaupunkiin tykönsä ja antaman hänelle siaa, asuaksensa heidän tykönänsä. ⁵ Ja kuin verenkostaja ajaa häntä takaa, ei heidän pidä antaman miehentappajaa hänen käsiinsä, että hän tietämätä löi lähimmäisensä ja ei ollut ennen vainoa hänen välillänsä. ⁶ Niin asukaan hän siinä kaupungissa, siihenasti kuin hän seisoo seurakunnan oikeuden edessä, ylimmäisen papin kuolemaan asti, joka siihen aikaan on; sitte pitää miehentappajan palaaman ja tuleman kaupunkiinsa ja huoneeseensa, kaupunkiin, josta hän pakeni. ⁷ Niin he pyhittivät Kedeksen Galileassa Naphtalin vuorella, ja Sikemin Ephraimin vuorella, ja KirjatArban, se on Hebroni, Juudan vuorella; ⁸ Ja tuolla puolella Jordania, Jerihon kohdalla itään päin, antoivat he Betserin, korvessa lakialla kedolla, Rubenin sukukunnasta, ja Ramotin Gileadissa Gadin sukukunnasta ja Golanin Basanissa Manassen sukukunnasta. ⁹ Nämät olivat ne kaupungit, jotka asetettiin kaikille Israelin lapsille ja muukalaisille, jotka heidän seassansa asuivat, että sinne piti pakeneman jokainen joka jonkun tapaturmaisesti löi, ettei hän kuolisi verenkostajan käden kautta, siihenasti että hän seisois seurakunnan edessä.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Silloin Herra puhui Joosualle sanoen: ² "Puhu israelilaisille ja sano: Määrätkää itsellenne ne turvakaupungit, joista minä olen puhunut teille Mooseksen kautta, ³ että niihin voisi paeta tappaja, joka tapaturmaisesti, tahtomattaan, on jonkun surmannut; ja olkoot ne teillä turvapaikkoina verenkostajalta. ⁴ Ja kun joku pakenee johonkin näistä kaupungeista, pysähtyköön hän kaupungin portin ovelle ja kertokoon asiansa sen kaupungin vanhimmille; he korjatkoot hänet luoksensa kaupunkiin ja antakoot hänelle paikan, jossa hän saa asua heidän luonansa. ⁵ Ja jos verenkostaja ajaa häntä takaa, älkööt he luovuttako tappajaa hänen käsiinsä, koska hän tahtomattaan tappoi lähimmäisensä, häntä ennestään vihaamatta. ⁶ Ja asukoon hän siinä kaupungissa, kunnes on ollut kansan tuomittavana, ja silloisen ylimmäisen papin kuolemaan saakka; sitten tappaja tulkoon taas takaisin omaan kaupunkiinsa ja kotiinsa, kaupunkiin, josta oli paennut." ⁷ Niin he pyhittivät sitä varten Kedeksen Galileasta, Naftalin vuoristosta, Sikemin Efraimin vuoristosta ja Kirjat-Arban, se on Hebronin, Juudan vuoristosta. ⁸ Ja tuolta puolelta Jerikon Jordanin, idän puolelta, he määräsivät Ruubenin sukukunnasta Beserin erämaasta, ylätasangolta, ja Gaadin sukukunnasta Raamotin, Gileadista, ja Manassen sukukunnasta Goolanin, Baasanista. ⁹ Nämä ovat ne kaupungit, jotka asetettiin kaikille israelilaisille ja heidän keskuudessaan asuville muukalaisille sitä varten, että niihin voisi paeta jokainen, joka tapaturmaisesti oli jonkun surmannut, eikä hänen tarvitsisi kuolla verenkostajan käden kautta, ennenkuin oli ollut kansan tuomittavana.

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Seyè a pale ak Jozye, li di l' konsa: ² -Pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, di yo pou yo chwazi lavil kote moun ka jwenn pwoteksyon, jan mwen te bay Moyiz lòd pou yo fè a. ³ Lè yon moun touye yon moun san li pa fè espre, san li pa t' gen lide fè sa, li ka kouri al kache la pou yo ka pwoteje l' pou l' pa tonbe anba men moun k'ap chache l' pou yo tire revanj. ⁴ Moun k'ap chache pwoteksyon nan yonn nan lavil sa yo va kouri ale bò pòtay lavil la, l'a esplike chèf fanmi lavil la sa ki te rive l'. Lèfini, y'a kite l' antre nan lavil la. Y'a ba li yon kote pou l' rete nan mitan yo. ⁵ Si moun k'ap chache tire revanj yo rive jouk la deyè l', chèf fanmi lavil la p'ap renmèt yo nonm lan, paske se pa espre li te fè lè l' te touye moun menm ras ak li a. Li pa t' gen anyen avè l'. ⁶ L'a gen pou l' rete nan lavil la jouk la parèt devan tout pèp la pou yo jije l', jouk moun ki granprèt lè sa a va mouri. Se lè sa a nonm lan va gen dwa tounen lakay li, nan lavil li te kouri kite a. ⁷ Se konsa, moun yo pran lavil Kadès nan peyi Galile, nan mòn ki pou moun branch fanmi Neftali yo, lavil Sichèm nan mòn ki pou moun branch fanmi Efrayim yo ak lavil Kiriyat aba ki rele koulye a Ebwon, nan mòn ki pou moun branch fanmi Jida yo pou sèvi pwoteksyon. ⁸ Lòt bò larivyè Jouden an menm, nan platon ki anfas lavil Jeriko, bò solèy leve, yo chwazi twa lavil nan dezè a pou sa tou: Bezè nan zòn ki pou moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo, Ramòt-Galarad nan zòn ki pou moun branch fanmi Gad yo, ak Golan nan peyi Bazan an nan zòn ki pou moun branch fanmi Manase yo. ⁹ Men non lavil yo te chwazi pou bay pwoteksyon yo. Nenpòt moun nan pèp Izrayèl la osinon nan moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan yo ki ta touye yon moun san fè espre, l'a gen dwa kouri al kache la pou yo ka pwoteje l' pou l' pa tonbe anba men moun ki fanmi pi pre moun li te touye a, anvan li parèt devan tout pèp la pou yo jije l'.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Majd szóla az Úr Józsuénak, mondván: ² Szólj az Izráel fiainak, mondván: Válaszszatok magatoknak menekülésre való városokat, a melyekrõl szóltam néktek Mózes által, ³ Hogy oda szaladjon a gyilkos, a ki megöl valakit tévedésbõl, nem szándékosan, és legyenek azok menedékül nékik a vérbosszúló elõl. ⁴ A ki pedig beszalad valamelyikbe e városok közül, álljon [az] a város kapujába, és beszélje el az õ dolgait a város véneinek hallatára, és vegyék be õt magok közé a városba, és adjanak néki helyet, hogy velök lakozzék. ⁵ Hogyha pedig kergeti azt a vérbosszúló, ki ne adják a gyilkost annak kezébe, mert nem szándékosan ölte meg az õ felebarátját, és nem gyûlölte õ azt annakelõtte. ⁶ És lakozzék abban a városban mindaddig, a míg ítéletre állhat a gyülekezet elé, a míg meghal a fõpap, a ki abban az idõben lesz, azután térjen vissza a gyilkos, és menjen haza az õ városába és az õ házába, abba a városba, a melybõl elfutott vala. ⁷ És kiválaszták Kedest Galileában a Nafthali hegyén, Sikemet az Efraim hegyén és Kirjáth-Arbát, azaz Hebront a Júda hegyén. ⁸ Túl a Jordánon pedig Jérikhótól napkelet felé választák Beczert a pusztában, a sík földön Rúben nemzetségébõl; Rámothot Gileádban, a Gád nemzetségébõl, és Gólánt Básánban a Manassé nemzetségébõl. ⁹ Ezek voltak a meghatározott városok mind az Izráel fiainak, mind a jövevénynek, a ki közöttük tartózkodik vala, hogy oda szaladjon mindaz, a ki megöl valakit tévedésbõl, és meg ne haljon a vérbosszúlónak keze által, míg oda nem áll a gyülekezet elé.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Kemudian TUHAN menyuruh Yosua ² berkata begini kepada orang Israel, "Aku sudah memerintahkan Musa supaya ia memberitahukan kepadamu tentang kota-kota suaka, yaitu kota-kota di mana orang dapat melarikan diri untuk mendapat perlindungan. Sekarang pilihlah kota-kota itu. ³ Orang yang membunuh orang lain dengan tidak sengaja, boleh lari ke kota itu untuk luput dari orang yang hendak membalas dendam kepadanya. ⁴ Ia boleh lari ke salah satu dari kota-kota itu, dan pergi ke tempat pengadilan di pintu gerbang kota itu, lalu menjelaskan kepada para pemimpin di situ apa yang telah terjadi. Pemimpin-pemimpin itu akan mengizinkan dia memasuki kota itu, dan memberikan kepadanya tempat untuk tinggal. ⁵ Kalau orang yang mau membalas dendam itu mengejar dia sampai ke situ, penduduk kota itu tidak boleh menyerahkannya kepada orang itu. Mereka harus melindunginya, sebab ia membunuh orang dengan tidak sengaja, dan bukan karena benci. ⁶ Ia boleh tinggal di kota itu sampai ia telah diadili di hadapan umum, dan sampai orang yang menjabat Imam Agung pada masa itu meninggal. Sesudah itu barulah orang itu boleh pulang ke kampung halamannya dari mana ia melarikan diri." ⁷ Maka di daerah barat Sungai Yordan umat Israel menentukan kota-kota berikut ini sebagai kota suaka: Kedes di pegunungan Naftali di Galilea, Sikhem di pegunungan Efraim, dan Hebron di pegunungan Yehuda. ⁸ Di daerah timur Sungai Yordan di dataran tinggi padang pasir sebelah timur Yerikho, mereka menentukan kota-kota berikut ini sebagai kota suaka: kota Bezer di wilayah Ruben, kota Ramot di Gilead di wilayah Gad, dan kota Golan di Basan, wilayah Manasye. ⁹ Itulah semuanya kota-kota suaka yang ditentukan untuk seluruh umat Israel dan untuk setiap orang asing yang tinggal di tengah-tengah mereka. Setiap orang yang membunuh orang lain dengan tidak sengaja, boleh mendapat perlindungan di kota-kota itu dari kejaran orang yang mau membalas dendam kepadanya; ia tidak boleh dibunuh kalau belum diadili di depan umum.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ POI il Signore parlò a Giosuè, dicendo: Parla a’ figliuoli d’Israele, dicendo: ² Costituitevi le città del rifugio, delle quali io vi parlai per Mosè; ³ acciocchè l’ucciditore, che avrà uccisa una persona per errore, disavvedutamente, si rifugga là; ed esse vi saranno per rifugio da colui che ha la ragione di vendicare il sangue. ⁴ Un tale adunque si rifuggirà in una di quelle città; e, fermatosi all’entrata della porta della città, dirà agli Anziani della città le sue ragioni; ed essi l’accoglieranno a loro dentro alla città, e gli daranno luogo, ed egli abiterà con loro. ⁵ E quando colui che ha la ragione di vendicare il sangue lo perseguiterà, essi non gliel daranno nelle mani; perciocchè egli ha ucciso il suo prossimo disavvedutamente, non avendolo per addietro odiato. ⁶ Ed egli starà in quella città, finchè, alla morte del sommo Sacerdote che sarà a que’ dì, egli comparisca in giudicio davanti alla raunanza; allora l’ucciditore se ne ritornerà, e verrà alla sua città, e alla sua casa; alla città, onde egli sarà fuggito. ⁷ I figliuoli d’Israele adunque consacrarono Chedes in Galilea, nel monte di Neftali; e Sichem nel monte di Efraim; e Chiriat-arba, che è Hebron, nel monte di Giuda. ⁸ E di là dal Giordano di Gerico, verso Oriente, costituirono Beser, nel deserto, nella pianura, d’infra le terre della tribù di Ruben; e Ramot in Galaad, d’infra le terre della tribù di Gad; e Golan in Basan, d’infra le terre della tribù di Manasse. ⁹ Queste furono le città assegnate per tutti i figliuoli di Israele, e per li forestieri che dimorano fra loro; acciocchè chiunque avesse uccisa una persona per errore si rifuggisse là, e non morisse per man di colui che ha la ragione di vendicare il sangue; finchè fosse comparito davanti alla raunanza.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Poi l’Eterno parlò a Giosuè, dicendo: "Parla ai figliuoli d’Israele e di’ loro: ² Stabilitevi le città di rifugio, delle quali vi parlai per mezzo di Mosè, ³ affinché l’omicida che avrà ucciso qualcuno senza averne l’intenzione, possa ricoverarvisi; esse vi serviranno di rifugio contro il vindice del sangue. ⁴ L’omicida si ricovererà in una di quelle città; e, fermatosi all’ingresso della porta della città, esporrà il suo caso agli anziani di quella città; questi lo accoglieranno presso di loro dentro la città, gli daranno una dimora, ed egli si stabilirà fra loro. ⁵ E se il vindice del sangue lo inseguirà, essi non gli daranno nelle mani l’omicida, poiché ha ucciso il prossimo senza averne l’intenzione, senza averlo odiato prima. ⁶ L’omicida rimarrà in quella città finché, alla morte del sommo sacerdote che sarà in funzione in quei giorni, comparisca in giudizio davanti alla raunanza. Allora l’omicida potrà tornarsene, e rientrare nella sua città e nella sua casa, nella città donde era fuggito". ⁷ Essi dunque consacrarono Kedes in Galilea nella contrada montuosa di Neftali, Sichem nella contrada montuosa di Efraim e Kiriath-Arba, che Hebron, nella contrada montuosa di Giuda. ⁸ E di là dal Giordano, a oriente di Gerico, stabilirono, nella tribù di Ruben, Betser, nel deserto, nell’altipiano; Ramoth, in Galaad, nella tribù di Gad, e Golan in Basan, nella tribù di Manasse. ⁹ Queste furono le città assegnate a tutti i figliuoli d’Israele e allo straniero dimorante fra loro, affinché chiunque avesse ucciso qualcuno involontariamente potesse rifugiarvisi e non avesse a morire per man del vindice del sangue, prima d’esser comparso davanti alla raunanza.

Korean⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 여호와께서 여호수아에게 일러 가라사대 ² 이스라엘 자손에게 고하여 이르라 내가 모세로 너희에게 말한 도피성을 택정하여 ³ 부지 중 오살한 자를 그리로 도망하게 하라 이는 너희 중 피의 보수자를 피할 곳이니라 ⁴ 그 성읍들의 하나에 도피하는 자는 그 성읍에 들어가는 문 어귀에 서서 그 성읍 장로들의 귀에 자기의 사고를 고할 것이요 그들은 그를 받아 성읍에 들여 한 곳을 주어 자기들 중에 거하게 하고 ⁵ 피의 보수가 그 뒤를 따라온다 할지라도 그들은 그 살인자를 그의 손에 내어주지 말지니 이는 본래 미워함이 없이 부지 중에 그 이웃을 죽였음이라 ⁶ 그 살인자가 회중의 앞에 서서 재판을 받기까지나 당시 대제사장의 죽기까지 그 성읍에 거하다가 그 후에 그 살인자가 본 성읍 곧 자기가 도망하여 나온 그 성읍의 자기 집으로 돌아갈지니라 ⁷ 무리가 납달리의 산지 갈릴리 게데스와, 에브라임 산지의 세겜과, 유다 산지의 기럇아르바 곧 헤브론을 구별하였고 ⁸ 또 여리고 동 요단 저편 르우벤 지파 중에서 평지 광야의 베셀과 갓 지파 중에서 길르앗라못과 므낫세 지파 중에서 바산 골란을 택하였으니 ⁹ 이는 곧 이스라엘 모든 자손과 그들 중에 우거하는 객을 위하여 선정한 성읍들로서 누구든지 부지 중 살인한 자로 그리로 도망하여 피의 보수자의 손에 죽지 않게 하기 위함이며 그는 회중 앞에 설 때까지 거기 있을 것이니라

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Viešpats kalbėjo Jozuei: ² “Paskirkite prieglaudos miestus, apie kuriuos kalbėjau per Mozę, ³ kad į juos galėtų nubėgti žmogžudys, užmušęs žmogų netyčia. Tie miestai jiems bus prieglauda nuo keršytojų. ⁴ Žmogžudys, nubėgęs į vieną šitų miestų, jo vartuose išdėstys savo bylą to miesto vyresniesiems. Jie priims jį į miestą ir leis jam ten gyventi. ⁵ Jei jį atsivytų kraujo keršytojas, jie neišduos žudiko į jo rankas, nes jis netyčia užmušė savo artimą, kuris nebuvo jo priešas. ⁶ Žmogžudys galės gyventi tame mieste iki teismo sprendimo. Po vyriausiojo kunigo mirties žudikas galės grįžti į savo miestą bei namus, iš kurio jis buvo pabėgęs”. ⁷ Jie paskyrė Kedešą Galilėjoje, Neftalio kalnyne, Sichemą Efraimo kalnyne ir Kirjat Arbę, kuri yra Hebronas, Judo kalnyne. ⁸ Jordano rytuose jie paskyrė Becerą dykumoje, Rubeno giminės krašte, Ramotą Gileade, Gado giminės krašte, ir Golaną Bašane, Manaso giminės žemėse. ⁹ Šitie miestai buvo paskirti visiems izraelitams ir tarp jų gyvenantiems ateiviams, kad į juos galėtų bėgti kiekvienas, užmušęs žmogų netyčia, kad nebūtų nužudytas keršytojo prieš teismą.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ POtem rzekł Pan do Jozuego, mówiąc: ² Powiedz synom Izraelskim, i rzecz: Oddzielcie sobie miasta ucieczki, o którychem mówił do was przez Mojżesza; ³ Aby tam uciekł mężobójca, coby zabił człowieka nie chcąc, z niewiadomości; i będą wam dla ucieczki przed tym, któryby się krwi chciał mścić. ⁴ I uciecze do jednego z miast, a stanie u wrót bramy miejskiej, i opowie starszym miasta onego sprawę swoję; i przyjmą go do miasta między się, i dadzą mu miejsce, a będzie mieszkał z nimi. ⁵ A gdy go będzie gonił ten, któryby się chciał mścić krwi, tedy nie wydadzą mężobójcy w ręce jego; albowiem nie chcąc zabił bliźniego swego, a nie mając żadnej waśni, z nim przedtem. ⁶ I będzie mieszkał w onem mieście, a stanie przed zebraniem na sąd, i aż do śmierci kapłana wielkiego, który będzie za onych dni; tedy się wróci mężobójca, i przyjdzie do miasta swego i do domu swego, do miasta, z którego uciekł. ⁷ I oddzieli Kades w Galilei na górze Neftali, a Sychem na górze Efraim, i miasto Arba, które jest Hebron, na górze Juda. ⁸ Z drugiej zasię strony Jordanu, gdzie leży Jerycho od wschodu słońca, oddzieli Bosor na puszczy, w równinie z pokolenia Rubenowego, i Ramot w Galaad z pokolenia Gad, przytem Golan w Basen z pokolenia Manasesowego. ⁹ Teć były miasta dla ucieczki wszystkim synom Izraelskim, i cudzoziemcom, którzy mieszkali w pośrodku ich, aby tam uciekł każdy, kto by kogo zabił z nieobaczenia, a nie był zamordowan przez tego, któryby się krwi chciał mścić, ażby pierwej stanął przed zgromadzeniem.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Falou mais o Senhor a Josué: ² Diz aos filhos de Israel: Designai para vós as cidades de refúgio, de que vos falei por intermédio de Moisés, ³ a fim de que fuja para ali o homicida, que tiver matado alguma pessoa involuntariamente, e não com intento; e elas vos servirão de refúgio contra o vingador do sangue. ⁴ Fugindo ele para uma dessas cidades, apresentar-se-á à porta da mesma, e exporá a sua causa aos anciãos da tal cidade; então eles o acolherão ali e lhe darão lugar, para que habite com eles. ⁵ Se, pois, o vingador do sangue o perseguir, não lhe entregarão o homicida, porquanto feriu a seu próximo sem intenção e sem odiá-lo dantes. ⁶ E habitará nessa cidade até que compareça em juízo perante a congregação, até que morra o sumo sacerdote que houver naqueles dias; então o homicida voltará, e virá à sua cidade e à sua casa, à cidade donde tiver fugido. ⁷ Então designaram a Quedes na Galileia, na região montanhosa de Neftali, a Siquém na região montanhosa de Efraim, e a Quiriat-Arbá (esta é Hebron) na região montanhosa de Judá. ⁸ E, além do Jordão na altura de Jericó para o oriente, designaram a Bezer, no deserto, no planalto da tribo de Rúben a Ramote, em Guilead, da tribo de Gad, e a Golan, em Basan, da tribo de Manassés. ⁹ Foram estas as cidades designadas para todos os filhos de Israel, e para o estrangeiro que peregrinasse entre eles, para que se acolhesse a elas todo aquele que matasse alguma pessoa involuntariamente, para que não morresse às mãos do vingador do sangue, até se apresentar perante a congregação.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ og Herren talte til Josva og sa: ² Tal til Israels barn og si: Avgi de tilfluktsstæder som jeg talte til eder om ved Moses, ³ så en manndraper som av vanvare, uten å ville det, slår nogen ihjel, kan fly dit; I skal ha dem til tilfluktsstæder for manndraperen, når han flyr for blodhevneren. ⁴ Han skal fly til en av disse byer og stille sig ved inngangen til byens port og legge sin sak frem for de eldste i byen; så skal de ta ham inn til sig i byen og gi ham et sted hos sig hvor han kan bo. ⁵ Og når blodhevneren forfølger ham, da skal de ikke overgi manndraperen i hans hånd, fordi han slo sin næste ihjel av vanvare og uten før å ha båret hat til ham. ⁶ Og han skal bli boende der i byen, til han har stått til doms for menigheten, og til den yppersteprest som da lever, er død; derefter kan manndraperen vende tilbake til sin by og sitt hus, til den by som han rømte fra. ⁷ Så helliget de Kedes i Galilea i Naftali-fjellene og Sikem i Efra'im-fjellene og Kirjat-Arba, det er Hebron, i Juda-fjellene. ⁸ Og på østsiden av Jordan, som flyter forbi Jeriko, avgav de: av Rubens stamme Beser i ørkenen, på sletten, og av Gads stamme Ramot i Gilead og av Manasse stamme Galon i Basan. ⁹ Dette var de byer som blev fastsatt til tilfluktsstæder for alle Israels barn og for de fremmede som opholder sig blandt dem, så hver den som av vanvare slår nogen ihjel, kan fly dit og ikke skal dø for blodhevnerens hånd, før han er blitt stilt frem for menigheten.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Domnul a vorbit lui Iosua, şi a zis: ² ,,Vorbeşte copiilor lui Israel, şi spune-le: Hotărîţi-vă cum v'am poruncit prin Moise, cetăţi de scăpare, ³ unde să poată fugi ucigaşul care va omorî pe cineva fără voie, fără să aibă vreun gînd să -l omoare; ele să vă fie un loc de scăpare împotriva răzbunătorului sîngelui. ⁴ Ucigaşul să fugă într'una din aceste cetăţi, să se oprească la intrarea porţii cetăţii, şi să spună întîmplarea lui bătrînilor cetăţii aceleia; ei să -l primească la ei în cetate, şi să -i dea o locuinţă, ca să locuiască împreună cu ei. ⁵ Dacă răzbunătorul sîngelui îl va urmări, ei să nu dea pe ucigaş în mînile lui; căci fără să vrea a omorît pe aproapele lui, şi fără să -i fi fost vrăjmaş mai înainte. ⁶ El să rămînă în cetatea aceasta pînă se va înfăţişa înaintea adunării ca să fie judecat, pînă la moartea marelui preot care va fi atunci în slujbă. Atunci, ucigaşul să se întoarcă şi să intre iarăş în cetatea şi în casa lui, în cetatea de unde fugise``. ⁷ Ei au pus deoparte Chedeşul, în Galileia, în muntele lui Neftali; Sihemul în muntele lui Efraim; şi Chiriat-Arba, sau Hebronul, în muntele lui Iuda. ⁸ Şi de cealaltă parte a Iordanului, la răsăritul Ierihonului, a ales Beţerul, în pustie, în cîmpie, în seminţia lui Ruben; Ramot în Galaad, în seminţia lui Gad; şi Golan, în Basan, în seminţia lui Manase. ⁹ Acestea au fost cetăţile hotărîte pentru toţi copiii lui Israel şi pentru străinul care locuieşte în mijlocul lor, pentru ca cel ce va ucide pe cineva fără voie să poată fugi în ele, şi să nu moară ucis de mîna răzbunătorului sîngelui, înainte de a se înfăţişa înaintea adunării.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ І Господь промовляв до Ісуса, говорячи: ² Промовляй до Ізраїлевих синів, говорячи: Дайте собі міста на сховища, про які Я говорив вам через Мойсея, ³ щоб утікав туди убійник, що заб'є кого ненароком невмисне, і вони будуть для вас на місце сховища від месника за кров. ⁴ І втече він до одного з тих міст, і стане при вході міської брами, та й буде голосно говорити старшим того міста про свою справу. І вони візьмуть його до міста до себе, і дадуть йому місце, і він осяде з ними. ⁵ А коли буде гнатися за ним месник, то не видадуть убійника в руку його, бо він невмисне забив свого ближнього, і не був йому ворогом ані вчора, ані позавчора. ⁶ І буде він сидіти в тому місті, аж поки не стане перед громадою на суд, аж до смерти найвищого священика, що буде в тих днях. Тоді повернеться убійник, та й увійде до свого міста та до свого дому, до того міста, звідки він утік. ⁷ І посвятили вони Кедеш в Ґалілі на Нефталимовій горі, і Сихем на Єфремовій горі та Кір'ят-Арбу, воно Ефрон, на горі Юдиній. ⁸ А по той бік єрихонського Йордану на схід вони дали: Бецер на пустині, на рівнині, із Рувимового племени, і Рамот у Ґілеаді з Ґадового племени, і Ґалан у Башані з Манасіїного племени. ⁹ Оце були міста призначення для всіх Ізраїлевих синів та для приходька, що мешкає чужинцем серед них, на сховище туди кожному, хто вб'є кого ненароком. І не помре він від руки месника за кров, аж поки не стане перед громадою.
