< Isus Navin 20 >

1 Potom reèe Gospod Isusu govoreæi:
The LORD also spoke to Joshua, saying,
2 Kaži sinovima Izrailjevijem i reci: Odredite gradove za utoèišta, za koje sam vam govorio preko Mojsija,
Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint for you cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you by the hand of Moses:
3 Da onamo uteèe krvnik koji ubije koga nehotice, ne misleæi, da vam budu utoèišta od osvetnika.
That the slayer that killeth [any] person unawares [and] ignorantly, may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
4 Pa kad ko uteèe u koji od tijeh gradova, neka stane pred vratima gradskim i neka kaže starješinama onoga grada stvar svoju, pa neka ga prime k sebi, i dadu mu mjesto da sjedi kod njih.
And when he that doth flee to one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city to them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
5 I ako doðe za njim osvetnik, neka mu ne dadu krvnika u ruke, jer je nehotice ubio bližnjega niti je prije mrzio na nj.
And if the avenger of blood shall pursue him, then they shall not deliver the slayer into his hand; because he smote his neighbor ignorantly, and had not hated him before.
6 Nego neka sjedi u gradu onom dokle ne stane pred zbor na sud, do smrti poglavara sveštenièkoga koji bude onda, tada neka se krvnik vrati i ide u svoj grad i svojoj kuæi, u grad iz kojega je utekao.
And he shall dwell in that city, until he shall stand before the congregation for judgment, [and] until the death of the high-priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come to his own city, and to his own house, to the city from whence he fled.
7 I odijeliše Kedes u Galileji u gori Neftalimovoj i Sihem u gori Jefremovoj i Kirijat-Arvu, to je Hevron, u gori Judinoj.
And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjath-arba, (which [is] Hebron) in the mountain of Judah.
8 A preko Jordana od Jerihona na istok odrediše Vosor u pustinji, u ravni, od plemena Ruvimova, i Ramot u Galadu od plemena Gadova, i Golan u Vasanu od plemena Manasijina.
And on the other side of Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon 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 To su gradovi odreðeni svijem sinovima Izrailjevijem i došljaku koji se bavi meðu njima, da uteèe u njih ko god ubije koga nehotice i da ne pogine od ruke osvetnikove dokle ne stane pred zbor.
These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger sojourning among them, that whoever should kill [any] person unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
