ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي عَرَبَاتِ مُوآبَ عَلَى أُرْدُنِّ أَرِيحَا قَائِلًا: ١ 1
And Yahweh spake unto Moses in the waste plains 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
Command the sons of Israel, that they give unto the Levites—out of the inheritance which they possess—cities to dwell in, —pasture land also unto the cities, round about them, shall ye give unto the Levites.
فَتَكُونُ ٱلْمُدُنُ لَهُمْ لِلسَّكَنِ وَمَسَارِحُهَا تَكُونُ لِبَهَائِمِهِمْ وَأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَلِسَائِرِ حَيَوَانَاتِهِمْ. ٣ 3
So shall the cities be theirs, to dwell in, —and their pasture lands, shall, be for their cattle and for their goods and for all their beasts.
وَمَسَارِحُ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ تَكُونُ مِنْ سُورِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى جِهَةِ ٱلْخَارِجِ أَلْفَ ذِرَاعٍ حَوَالَيْهَا. ٤ 4
And, the pasture lands of the cities which ye shall give unto the Levite, shall be, —from the wall of the city, and outwards, a 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
So ye shall measure—on the outside of the city—the eastward quarter two thousand by the cubit, and the south quarter two thousand by the cubit, and the west quarter two thousand by the cubit and the north quarter two thousand by the cubit, with, the city, in the midst. This, shall be unto them the pasture lands of the cities,
«وَٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ تَكُونُ سِتٌّ مِنْهَا مُدُنًا لِلْمَلْجَإِ. تُعْطُونَهَا لِكَيْ يَهْرُبَ إِلَيْهَا ٱلْقَاتِلُ. وَفَوْقَهَا تُعْطُونَ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ مَدِينَةً. ٦ 6
And, among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall give that the manslayer may flee thither, —and besides them, ye shall give, forty-two cities,
جَمِيعُ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ ثَمَانِي وَأَرْبَعُونَ مَدِينَةً مَعَ مَسَارِحِهَا. ٧ 7
All the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be forty-eight cities, —them, and their pasture lands,
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 touching the cities which ye shall give out of the possession of the sons of Israel from the many, shall ye take many, and from the few, shall ye take few, —each, according to his inheritance, which they shall inherit, shall give of his cities unto the Levites.
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: ٩ 9
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
«كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ عَابِرُونَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. ١٠ 10
Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, —When ye are passing over the Jordan unto the land of Canaan,
فَتُعَيِّنُونَ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مُدُنًا تَكُونُ مُدُنَ مَلْجَإٍ لَكُمْ، لِيَهْرُبَ إِلَيْهَا ٱلْقَاتِلُ ٱلَّذِي قَتَلَ نَفْسًا سَهْوًا. ١١ 11
then shall ye find for you, convenient cities, cities of refuge, shall they be unto you, —and the manslayer, who hath slain a person, by mistake, shall flee thither.
فَتَكُونُ لَكُمُ ٱلْمُدُنُ مَلْجَأً مِنَ ٱلْوَلِيِّ، لِكَيْلَا يَمُوتَ ٱلْقَاتِلُ حَتَّى يَقِفَ أَمَامَ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ لِلْقَضَاءِ. ١٢ 12
So shall the cities serve you for places of refuge from the redeemer, —that the manslayer may not die, until he has stood before the assembly, for judgment,
وَٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ تَكُونُ سِتَّ مُدُنِ مَلْجَإٍ لَكُمْ. ١٣ 13
And as touching the cities which ye shall give six cities of refuge, shall there be unto you.
ثَلَاثًا مِنَ ٱلْمُدُنِ تُعْطُونَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، وَثَلَاثًا مِنَ ٱلْمُدُنِ تُعْطُونَ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. مُدُنَ مَلْجَإٍ تَكُونُ ١٤ 14
Three of the cities, shall ye give, on this side the Jordan, and three of the cities, shall ye give in the land of Canaan, —cities of refuge, shall they be.
لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلِلْغَرِيبِ وَلِلْمُسْتَوْطِنِ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ تَكُونُ هَذِهِ ٱلسِّتُّ ٱلْمُدُنِ لِلْمَلْجَإِ، لِكَيْ يَهْرُبَ إِلَيْهَا كُلُّ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا سَهْوًا. ١٥ 15
For the sons of Israel and for the sojourner. and for the settler in your midst, shall these six cities serve, as places of refuge, —that any one may flee thither who hath slain a person, by mistake.
«إِنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِأَدَاةِ حَدِيدٍ فَمَاتَ، فَهُوَ قَاتِلٌ. إِنَّ ٱلْقَاتِلَ يُقْتَلُ. ١٦ 16
If, then, with an instrument of iron, he smote him, and he died, a manslayer, he is, —a manslayer, shall surely die.
وَإِنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِحَجَرِ يَدٍ مِمَّا يُقْتَلُ بِهِ فَمَاتَ، فَهُوَ قَاتِلٌ. إِنَّ ٱلْقَاتِلَ يُقْتَلُ. ١٧ 17
Or if with a stone thrown by hand, where-by one might die, he smote him and he died, a manslayer, he is, —the man-slayer, shall surely die,
أَوْ ضَرَبَهُ بِأَدَاةِ يَدٍ مِنْ خَشَبٍ مِمَّا يُقْتَلُ بِهِ، فَهُوَ قَاتِلٌ. إِنَّ ٱلْقَاتِلَ يُقْتَلُ. ١٨ 18
Or, if with hand-weapon of wood, wherewith one might die, he smote him and he died a manslayer, he is, —the manslayer shall surely die.
وَلِيُّ ٱلدَّمِ يَقْتُلُ ٱلْقَاتِلَ. حِينَ يُصَادِفُهُ يَقْتُلُهُ. ١٩ 19
The blood-redeemer, he, shall put to death the man-slayer, —when he lighteth upon him, he, shall put him to death.
وَإِنْ دَفَعَهُ بِبُغْضَةٍ أَوْ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا بِتَعَمُّدٍ فَمَاتَ، ٢٠ 20
Or if with hate, he shall thrust at him, or hurl at him designedly, and he have died,
أَوْ ضَرَبَهُ بِيَدِهِ بِعَدَاوَةٍ فَمَاتَ، فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ ٱلضَّارِبُ لِأَنَّهُ قَاتِلٌ. وَلِيُّ ٱلدَّمِ يَقْتُلُ ٱلْقَاتِلَ حِينَ يُصَادِفُهُ. ٢١ 21
or if with enmity, he hath smitten him with his hand and he is dead, then shall he that dealt the blow, be surely put to death. a manslayer, he is—the blood-redeemer shall put to death the man-slayer, when he lighteth upon him.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ دَفَعَهُ بَغْتَةً بِلَا عَدَاوَةٍ، أَوْ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ أَدَاةً مَّا بِلَا تَعَمُّدٍ، ٢٢ 22
But if suddenly, without enmity, he shall thrust him, or hurl upon him any missile, without design;
أَوْ حَجَرًا مَّا مِمَّا يُقْتَلُ بِهِ بِلَا رُؤْيَةٍ. أَسْقَطَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَمَاتَ، وَهُوَ لَيْسَ عَدُوًّا لَهُ وَلَا طَالِبًا أَذِيَّتَهُ، ٢٣ 23
Or with any stone whereby one might die without seeing him, and it fall upon him, and he dieth; he, not being at enmity with him, nor seeking to harm him,
تَقْضِي ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ بَيْنَ ٱلْقَاتِلِ وَبَيْنَ وَلِيِّ ٱلدَّمِ، حَسَبَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَحْكَامِ. ٢٤ 24
then shall the assembly judge, between him that smote and the blood-redeemer, —according to these regulations;
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 assembly shall rescue the manslayer out of the hand of the blood-redeemer, and the assembly shall restore him unto his city of refuge whither he had fled, —and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who hath been anointed with the hallowing oil.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ خَرَجَ ٱلْقَاتِلُ مِنْ حُدُودِ مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ ٱلَّتِي هَرَبَ إِلَيْهَا، ٢٦ 26
But if the man-slayer, go out, of the bounds of his city of refuge, whereinto he hath fled;
وَوَجَدَهُ وَلِيُّ ٱلدَّمِ خَارِجَ حُدُودِ مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ، وَقَتَلَ وَلِيُّ ٱلدَّمِ ٱلْقَاتِلَ، فَلَيْسَ لَهُ دَمٌ، ٢٧ 27
and the blood-redeemer, find him, outside the bounds of his city of refuge, then may the blood-redeemer slay the slayer, without being guilty of blood;
لِأَنَّهُ فِي مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ يُقِيمُ إِلَى مَوْتِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ. وَأَمَّا بَعْدَ مَوْتِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ فَيَرْجِعُ ٱلْقَاتِلُ إِلَى أَرْضِ مُلْكِهِ. ٢٨ 28
for in his city of refuge, should he have remained, until the death of the high priest, —and, after the death of the high priest, might he have returned into the land which he doth possess.
«فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ لَكُمْ فَرِيضَةَ حُكْمٍ إِلَى أَجْيَالِكُمْ فِي جَمِيعِ مَسَاكِنِكُمْ. ٢٩ 29
So shall these serve you as a regulative statute unto your generations, —wheresoever ye may dwell.
كُلُّ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا فَعَلَى فَمِ شُهُودٍ يُقْتَلُ ٱلْقَاتِلُ. وَشَاهِدٌ وَاحِدٌ لَا يَشْهَدْ عَلَى نَفْسٍ لِلْمَوْتِ. ٣٠ 30
Whosoever taketh away life, at the mouth of witnesses, shall, the slayer be slain, —but, one witness, shall not testify against a person, to put him to death.
وَلَا تَأْخُذُوا فِدْيَةً عَنْ نَفْسِ ٱلْقَاتِلِ ٱلْمُذْنِبِ لِلْمَوْتِ، بَلْ إِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ. ٣١ 31
And ye shall accept no ransom for the life of him that slayeth, if he have unlawfully caused death, —but he, must surely be put to death.
وَلَا تَأْخُذُوا فِدْيَةً لِيَهْرُبَ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ، فَيَرْجِعَ وَيَسْكُنَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ. ٣٢ 32
And ye shall accept no ransom for him that hath fled to his city of refuge, if he should return to dwell in the land before the death of the 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 ye not pollute the land wherein ye are, for blood, doth pollute the land, and for the land, no propitiatory-covering can be made, as touching blood, that is shed therein, save with 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
thou must not then make unclean the land wherein, ye, are dwelling, in the midst of which, I, have my habitation; for, I,—Yahweh, am making my habitation in the midst of the sons of Israel.
