Joshua 20
1 And the LORD spoke unto Joshua, saying:
Potom reèe Gospod Isusu govoreæi:
2 'Speak to the children of Israel, saying: Assign you the cities of refuge, whereof I spoke unto you by the hand of Moses;
Kaži sinovima Izrailjevijem i reci: Odredite gradove za utoèišta, za koje sam vam govorio preko Mojsija,
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.
Da onamo uteèe krvnik koji ubije koga nehotice, ne misleæi, da vam budu utoèišta od osvetnika.
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.
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.
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.
I ako doðe za njim osvetnik, neka mu ne dadu krvnika u ruke, jer je nehotice ubio bližnjega niti je prije mrzio na nj.
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.'
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.
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.
I odijeliše Kedes u Galileji u gori Neftalimovoj i Sihem u gori Jefremovoj i Kirijat-Arvu, to je Hevron, u gori Judinoj.
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.
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.
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.
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.
