ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي عَرَبَاتِ مُوآبَ عَلَى أُرْدُنِّ أَرِيحَا قَائِلًا: ١ 1
And the Lord spoke to Moses to the west of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
«أَوْصِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يُعْطُوا ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ نَصِيبِ مُلْكِهِمْ مُدُنًا لِلسَّكَنِ، وَمَسَارِحَ لِلْمُدُنِ حَوَالَيْهَا تُعْطُونَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ. ٢ 2
Give orders to the children of Israel, and they shall give to the Levites cities to dwell in from the lot of their possession, and they shall give to the Levites the suburbs of the cities round about them.
فَتَكُونُ ٱلْمُدُنُ لَهُمْ لِلسَّكَنِ وَمَسَارِحُهَا تَكُونُ لِبَهَائِمِهِمْ وَأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَلِسَائِرِ حَيَوَانَاتِهِمْ. ٣ 3
And the cities shall be for them to dwell in, and their enclosures shall be for their cattle and all their beasts.
وَمَسَارِحُ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ تَكُونُ مِنْ سُورِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى جِهَةِ ٱلْخَارِجِ أَلْفَ ذِرَاعٍ حَوَالَيْهَا. ٤ 4
And the suburbs of the cities which you shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outwards two thousand cubits round about.
فَتَقِيسُونَ مِنْ خَارِجِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ جَانِبَ ٱلشَّرْقِ أَلْفَيْ ذِرَاعٍ، وَجَانِبَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ أَلْفَيْ ذِرَاعٍ، وَجَانِبَ ٱلْغَرْبِ أَلْفَيْ ذِرَاعٍ، وَجَانِبَ ٱلشِّمَالِ أَلْفَيْ ذِرَاعٍ، وَتَكُونُ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ فِي ٱلْوَسَطِ. هَذِهِ تَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَسَارِحَ ٱلْمُدُنِ. ٥ 5
And you shall measure outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and your city shall be in the midst of this, and the suburbs of the cities [as described].
«وَٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ تَكُونُ سِتٌّ مِنْهَا مُدُنًا لِلْمَلْجَإِ. تُعْطُونَهَا لِكَيْ يَهْرُبَ إِلَيْهَا ٱلْقَاتِلُ. وَفَوْقَهَا تُعْطُونَ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ مَدِينَةً. ٦ 6
And you shall give the cities to the Levites, the six cities of refuge which you shall give for the slayer to flee there, and in addition to these, forty-two cities.
جَمِيعُ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ ثَمَانِي وَأَرْبَعُونَ مَدِينَةً مَعَ مَسَارِحِهَا. ٧ 7
You shall give to the Levites in all forty-eight cities, them and their suburbs.
وَٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ مِنْ مُلْكِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِنَ ٱلْكَثِيرِ تُكَثِّرُونَ، وَمِنَ ٱلْقَلِيلِ تُقَلِّلُونَ. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ نَصِيبِهِ ٱلَّذِي مَلَكَهُ يُعْطِي مِنْ مُدُنِهِ لِلَّاوِيِّينَ». ٨ 8
And as for the cities which you shall give out of the possession of the children of Israel, from those [that have] much [you shall give] much, and from those that have less you shall give less: they shall give of their cities to the Levites each one according to his inheritance which they shall inherit.
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: ٩ 9
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
«كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ عَابِرُونَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. ١٠ 10
Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, You are to cross over Jordan into the land of Chanaan.
فَتُعَيِّنُونَ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مُدُنًا تَكُونُ مُدُنَ مَلْجَإٍ لَكُمْ، لِيَهْرُبَ إِلَيْهَا ٱلْقَاتِلُ ٱلَّذِي قَتَلَ نَفْسًا سَهْوًا. ١١ 11
And you shall appoint to yourselves cities: they shall be to you cities of refuge for the slayer to flee to, every one who has killed another unintentionally.
فَتَكُونُ لَكُمُ ٱلْمُدُنُ مَلْجَأً مِنَ ٱلْوَلِيِّ، لِكَيْلَا يَمُوتَ ٱلْقَاتِلُ حَتَّى يَقِفَ أَمَامَ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ لِلْقَضَاءِ. ١٢ 12
And the cities shall be to you places of refuge from the avenger of blood, and the slayer shall not die until he stands before the congregation for judgment.
وَٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ تَكُونُ سِتَّ مُدُنِ مَلْجَإٍ لَكُمْ. ١٣ 13
And the cities which you shall assign, [even] the six cities, shall be places of refuge for you.
ثَلَاثًا مِنَ ٱلْمُدُنِ تُعْطُونَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، وَثَلَاثًا مِنَ ٱلْمُدُنِ تُعْطُونَ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. مُدُنَ مَلْجَإٍ تَكُونُ ١٤ 14
You shall assign three cities on the other side of Jordan, and you shall assign three cities in the land of Chanaan.
لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلِلْغَرِيبِ وَلِلْمُسْتَوْطِنِ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ تَكُونُ هَذِهِ ٱلسِّتُّ ٱلْمُدُنِ لِلْمَلْجَإِ، لِكَيْ يَهْرُبَ إِلَيْهَا كُلُّ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا سَهْوًا. ١٥ 15
It shall be a place of refuge for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for him that sojourns among you; these cities shall be for a place of refuge, for every one to flee there who has killed a man unintentionally.
«إِنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِأَدَاةِ حَدِيدٍ فَمَاتَ، فَهُوَ قَاتِلٌ. إِنَّ ٱلْقَاتِلَ يُقْتَلُ. ١٦ 16
And if he should strike him with an iron instrument, and the man should die, he is a murderer; let the murderer by all means be put to death.
وَإِنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِحَجَرِ يَدٍ مِمَّا يُقْتَلُ بِهِ فَمَاتَ، فَهُوَ قَاتِلٌ. إِنَّ ٱلْقَاتِلَ يُقْتَلُ. ١٧ 17
And if he should strike him with a stone [thrown] from his hand, whereby a man may die, and he [thus] die, he is a murderer; let the murderer by all means be put to death.
أَوْ ضَرَبَهُ بِأَدَاةِ يَدٍ مِنْ خَشَبٍ مِمَّا يُقْتَلُ بِهِ، فَهُوَ قَاتِلٌ. إِنَّ ٱلْقَاتِلَ يُقْتَلُ. ١٨ 18
And if he should strike him with an instrument of wood from his hand, whereby he may die, and he [thus] die, he is a murderer; let the murderer by all means be put to death.
وَلِيُّ ٱلدَّمِ يَقْتُلُ ٱلْقَاتِلَ. حِينَ يُصَادِفُهُ يَقْتُلُهُ. ١٩ 19
The avenger of blood himself shall kill the murderer: whenever he shall meet him he shall kill him.
وَإِنْ دَفَعَهُ بِبُغْضَةٍ أَوْ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا بِتَعَمُّدٍ فَمَاتَ، ٢٠ 20
And if he should thrust him through enmity, or cast any thing upon him from an ambuscade, and the man should die,
أَوْ ضَرَبَهُ بِيَدِهِ بِعَدَاوَةٍ فَمَاتَ، فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ ٱلضَّارِبُ لِأَنَّهُ قَاتِلٌ. وَلِيُّ ٱلدَّمِ يَقْتُلُ ٱلْقَاتِلَ حِينَ يُصَادِفُهُ. ٢١ 21
or if he have struck him with his hand through anger, and the man should die, let the man that struck him be put to death by all means, he is a murderer: let the murderer by all means be put to death: the avenger of blood shall kill the murderer when he meets him.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ دَفَعَهُ بَغْتَةً بِلَا عَدَاوَةٍ، أَوْ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ أَدَاةً مَّا بِلَا تَعَمُّدٍ، ٢٢ 22
But if he should thrust him suddenly, not through enmity, or cast any thing upon him, not from an ambuscade,
أَوْ حَجَرًا مَّا مِمَّا يُقْتَلُ بِهِ بِلَا رُؤْيَةٍ. أَسْقَطَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَمَاتَ، وَهُوَ لَيْسَ عَدُوًّا لَهُ وَلَا طَالِبًا أَذِيَّتَهُ، ٢٣ 23
or [strike him] with any stone, whereby a man may die, unawares, and it should fall upon him, and he should die, but he was not his enemy, nor sought to hurt him;
تَقْضِي ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ بَيْنَ ٱلْقَاتِلِ وَبَيْنَ وَلِيِّ ٱلدَّمِ، حَسَبَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَحْكَامِ. ٢٤ 24
then the assembly shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood, according to these judgments.
وَتُنْقِذُ ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ ٱلْقَاتِلَ مِنْ يَدِ وَلِيِّ ٱلدَّمِ، وَتَرُدُّهُ ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ ٱلَّتِي هَرَبَ إِلَيْهَا، فَيُقِيمُ هُنَاكَ إِلَى مَوْتِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٱلَّذِي مُسِحَ بِٱلدُّهْنِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ. ٢٥ 25
And the congregation shall rescue the slayer from the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, whither he fled for refuge; and he shall dwell there till the death of the high-priest, whom they anointed with the holy oil.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ خَرَجَ ٱلْقَاتِلُ مِنْ حُدُودِ مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ ٱلَّتِي هَرَبَ إِلَيْهَا، ٢٦ 26
But if the slayer should in any wise go out beyond the bounds of the city whither he fled for refuge,
وَوَجَدَهُ وَلِيُّ ٱلدَّمِ خَارِجَ حُدُودِ مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ، وَقَتَلَ وَلِيُّ ٱلدَّمِ ٱلْقَاتِلَ، فَلَيْسَ لَهُ دَمٌ، ٢٧ 27
and the avenger of blood should find him without the bounds of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood should kill the slayer, he is not guilty.
لِأَنَّهُ فِي مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ يُقِيمُ إِلَى مَوْتِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ. وَأَمَّا بَعْدَ مَوْتِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ فَيَرْجِعُ ٱلْقَاتِلُ إِلَى أَرْضِ مُلْكِهِ. ٢٨ 28
For he ought to have remained in the city of refuge till the high-priest died; and after the death of the high-priest the slayer shall return to the land of his possession.
«فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ لَكُمْ فَرِيضَةَ حُكْمٍ إِلَى أَجْيَالِكُمْ فِي جَمِيعِ مَسَاكِنِكُمْ. ٢٩ 29
And these things shall be to you for an ordinance of judgment throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
كُلُّ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا فَعَلَى فَمِ شُهُودٍ يُقْتَلُ ٱلْقَاتِلُ. وَشَاهِدٌ وَاحِدٌ لَا يَشْهَدْ عَلَى نَفْسٍ لِلْمَوْتِ. ٣٠ 30
Whoever kills a man, you shall kill the murderer on the testimony of witnesses; and one witness shall not testify against a soul that he should die.
وَلَا تَأْخُذُوا فِدْيَةً عَنْ نَفْسِ ٱلْقَاتِلِ ٱلْمُذْنِبِ لِلْمَوْتِ، بَلْ إِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ. ٣١ 31
And you shall not accept ransoms for life from a murderer who is worthy of death, for he shall be surely put to death.
وَلَا تَأْخُذُوا فِدْيَةً لِيَهْرُبَ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ، فَيَرْجِعَ وَيَسْكُنَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ. ٣٢ 32
You shall not accept a ransom [to excuse] his fleeing to the city of refuge, so that he should again dwell in the land, until the death of the high-priest.
لَا تُدَنِّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ فِيهَا، لِأَنَّ ٱلدَّمَ يُدَنِّسُ ٱلْأَرْضَ. وَعَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ لَا يُكَفَّرُ لِأَجْلِ ٱلدَّمِ ٱلَّذِي سُفِكَ فِيهَا، إِلَا بِدَمِ سَافِكِهِ. ٣٣ 33
So shall you not pollute with murder the land in which you dwell; for this blood pollutes the land, and the land shall not be purged from the blood shed upon it, but by the blood of him that shed it.
وَلَا تُنَجِّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ مُقِيمُونَ فِيهَا ٱلَّتِي أَنَا سَاكِنٌ فِي وَسَطِهَا. إِنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ سَاكِنٌ فِي وَسَطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». ٣٤ 34
And you shall not defile the land whereon you dwell, on which I dwell in the midst of you; for I am the Lord dwelling in the midst of the children of Israel.
