Книга Иисуса Навина 20
1 И рече Господь ко Иисусу, глаголя:
And Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
2 рцы сыном Израилевым, глаголя: дадите грады убежений, яже рекох к вам Моисеом:
Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint for yourselves the cities of refuge, whereof I spoke unto you through Moses,
3 убежище убийце поразившему душу неволею: и будут вам грады убежище, и не умрет убийца от ужика крове, дондеже предстанет пред сонмом на суд.
that the slayer who unwittingly without intent smiteth any one mortally may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
4 И (аще кто) убегнет во един от градов сих, и станет во вратех града, и исповесть во уши старцем града того словеса своя: и приимут его сонм к себе, и дадят ему место жити с ними:
And he shall flee unto one of those cities and stand at the entrance of the city-gate, and shall declare his matter 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 и егда поженет ужик крове вслед его, и не дадут убившаго в руце его: яко не ведый уби ближняго своего и не ненавидя той его от вчера и третияго дне:
And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; for he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not previously.
6 и да вселится в той град, дондеже станет пред лицем сонма на суд, и дондеже умрет жрец великий, иже будет в тыя дни: тогда да обратится убийца, и внидет во град свой и в дом свой, и во град, отнюдуже избеже.
And he shall dwell in that city, until he have stood before the assembly in judgment, until the death of the high-priest that shall be in those days; then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled.
7 И отделиша Кедес в Галилеи, в горе Неффалимли, и Сихем в горе Ефремли, и Град Арво (сей есть Хеврон) в горе Иуде:
And they hallowed Kedesh in Galilee in the hill-country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and Kirjath-Arba, that is, Hebron, in the hill-country of Judah.
8 и об ону страну Иордана ко Иерихону на восток, даша Восор в пустыни в поли от племене Рувимля, и Рамоф в Галааде от племене Гадова, и Голан в Васанитиде от племене Манассиина:
And beyond the Jordan from Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness, in the plateau, out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan of the tribe of Manasseh.
9 сии грады избраны быша всем сыном Израилевым и пришелцу прилежащему в них, еже убежати тамо всякому убивающему душу неволею, да не умрет от руку ужика крове, дондеже станет пред сонмом на суд.
These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever smiteth any one mortally without intent might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the assembly.
