1At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises sa mga kapatagan ng Moab sa tabi ng Jordan sa Jerico, na sinasabi, 2Iutos mo sa mga anak ni Israel, na kanilang bigyan ang mga Levita sa mana na kanilang pag-aari, ng mga bayan na matahanan; at ang mga pastulan sa palibot ng mga bayang yaon ay ibibigay ninyo sa mga Levita, 3At mapapasa kanila ang mga bayan upang tahanan; at ang kanilang mga pastulan ay sa kanilang mga kawan, at sa kanilang mga pag-aari, at sa lahat nilang mga hayop. 4At ang mga pastulan sa mga bayan, na inyong ibibigay sa mga Levita, ay isang libong siko sa palibot mula sa kuta ng bayan hanggang sa dakong labas. 5At ang inyong susukatin sa labas ng bayan sa dakong silanganan ay dalawang libong siko, at sa dakong timugan ay dalawang libong siko, at sa dakong kalunuran ay dalawang libong siko, at sa dakong hilagaan ay dalawang libong siko, na ang bayan ay sa gitna. Ito ang magiging sa kanila'y mga pastulan sa mga bayan. 6At ang mga bayan na inyong ibibigay sa mga Levita ay ang anim na bayan na ampunan, na siya ninyong ibibigay na matatakasan ng nakamatay ng tao: at bukod sa rito ay magbibigay kayo ng apat na pu't dalawang bayan. 7Lahat ng mga bayan na inyong ibibigay sa mga Levita ay apat na pu't walong bayan: inyong ibibigay sangpu ng kanilang mga pastulan. 8At tungkol sa mga bayan na pag-aari ng mga anak ni Israel na inyong ibibigay ay kukuha kayo ng marami sa marami; at sa kaunti ay kukuha kayo ng kaunti: bawa't isa ayon sa kaniyang mana na kaniyang minamana ay magbibigay sa kaniyang mga bayan sa mga Levita. 9At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi, 10Salitain mo sa mga anak ni Israel, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Pagkaraan ninyo ng Jordan sa lupain ng Canaan, 11Ay pipili nga kayo ng mga bayan na maging mga bayang ampunan sa inyo, upang ang nakamatay ng tao na pumatay ng sinomang tao na hindi sinasadya, ay makatakas doon. 12At ang mga bayang yaong ay magiging sa inyo'y pinaka ampunan laban sa manghihiganti; upang ang nakamatay ay huwag mamatay, hanggang sa maitayo sa kapisanan na hatulan. 13At ang mga bayan na inyong ibibigay ay anim na bayang ampunan sa inyo. 14Magbibigay kayo ng tatlong bayan sa dako roon ng Jordan, at tatlong bayan ang ibibigay ninyo sa lupain ng Canaan; siyang magiging mga bayang ampunan. 15Sa mga anak ni Israel, at sa taga ibang lupa, at sa makikipamayan sa kanila ay magiging ampunan ang anim na bayang ito: upang ang bawa't nakamatay ng sinomang tao, na hindi sinasadya, ay makatakas doon. 16Nguni't kung kaniyang saktan ang kaniyang kapuwa ng isang kasangkapang bakal, na ano pa't namatay, siya nga'y mamamatay tao; ang mamamatay tao ay walang pagsalang papatayin. 17At kung kaniyang saktan ng isang batong tangan niya sa kamay na ikamamatay ng isang tao, at namatay nga, mamamatay tao siya: ang mamamatay tao ay walang pagsalang papatayin. 18O kung kaniyang saktan ng isang almas na kahoy na tangan niya sa kamay na ikamamatay ng tao, at namatay nga, ay mamamatay tao siya: ang mamamatay tao ay walang pagsalang papatayin. 19Ang manghihiganti sa dugo ay siyang papatay sa pumatay: pagka nasumpungan niya ay kaniyang papatayin. 20At kung kaniyang itinulak sa kapootan, o kaniyang hinagis na binanta, ano pa't siya'y namatay; 21O sa pakikipagkaalit ay sinaktan niya ng kaniyang kamay, na ano pa't siya'y namatay: siya na sumakit ay walang pagsalang papatayin; siya'y mamamatay tao: ang manghihiganti sa dugo ay siyang papatay sa pumatay, pagka nasumpungan niya. 22Nguni't kung sa kabiglaanan ay kaniyang maitulak na walang pakikipagkaalit, o mahagisan niya ng anomang bagay na hindi binanta, 23O ng anomang bato na ikamamatay ng tao, na hindi niya nakikita at kaniyang maihagis sa kaniya, na ano pa't namatay at hindi niya kaaway, at hindi niya pinagaakalaan ng masama: 24Kung gayo'y ang kapisanan ang siyang hahatol sa sumakit at sa manghihiganti sa dugo, ayon sa mga kahatulang ito: 25At ililigtas ng kapisanan ang nakamatay sa kamay ng manghihiganti sa dugo, at siya'y pababalikin ng kapisanan sa kaniyang bayang ampunan, na kaniyang tinakasan: at siya'y tatahan doon hanggang sa pagkamatay ng pangulong saserdote, na pinahiran ng banal na langis. 26Nguni't kung ang nakamatay ay lumabas sa anomang dahilan, sa hangganan ng kaniyang bayang ampunan, na kaniyang tinakasan; 27At masumpungan siya ng manghihiganti sa dugo sa labas ng hangganan ng kaniyang bayang ampunan, at patayin ng manghihiganti sa dugo ang nakamatay, ay hindi siya magiging salarin sa dugo, 28Sapagka't siya'y nararapat na tumira sa kaniyang bayang ampunan, hanggang sa pagkamatay ng dakilang saserdote: nguni't pagkamatay ng dakilang saserdote ang nakamatay ay makababalik sa lupain ng kaniyang pag-aari. 29At ang mga bagay na ito ay magiging isang palatuntunan sa kahatulan sa inyo, sa buong panahon ng inyong mga lahi sa lahat ng inyong mga tahanan. 30Sinomang pumatay sa kaninoman, ay papatayin ang pumatay sa patotoo ng mga saksi: nguni't ang isang saksi ay hindi makapagpapatotoo laban sa kaninomang tao upang patayin. 31Bukod sa rito, huwag kayong tatanggap ng suhol sa buhay ng pumatay na nagiging salarin sa pagpapatay: kundi siya'y walang pagsalang papatayin. 32At huwag kayong tatanggap ng suhol sa kaninomang tumakas sa kaniyang bayang ampunan, upang bumalik na manahan sa kaniyang lupain, hanggang sa pagkamatay ng dakilang saserdote. 33Kaya't huwag ninyong dudumhan ang lupain na inyong kinaroroonan; sapagka't ang dugo ay nagpaparumi ng lupain: at walang paglilinis na magagawa sa lupa dahil sa dugo na nabubo doon, kundi sa pamamagitan ng dugo niyaong nagbubo. 34At huwag ninyong dudumhan ang lupain na inyong tinatahanan, na ako'y tumahan sa gitna niyan: sapagka't akong Panginoon ay tumatahan sa gitna ng mga anak ni Israel.
1Yahweh spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 2“Command the children of Israel to give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in. You shall give suburbs for the cities around them to the Levites. 3The cities shall they have to dwell in. Their suburbs shall be for their livestock, and for their substance, and for all their animals. 4“The suburbs of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward one thousand cubits around it. 5You shall measure outside of the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the middle. This shall be the suburbs of their cities. 6“The cities which you shall give to the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the man slayer to flee to. Besides them you shall give forty-two cities. 7All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities together with their suburbs. 8Concerning the cities which you shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many you shall take many; and from the few you shall take few. Everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give some of his cities to the Levites.” 9Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 10“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 11then you shall appoint for yourselves cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the man slayer who kills any person unwittingly may flee there. 12The cities shall be to you for refuge from the avenger, that the man slayer not die, until he stands before the congregation for judgment. 13The cities which you shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge. 14You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and you shall give three cities in the land of Canaan. They shall be cities of refuge. 15For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the foreigner living among them, shall these six cities be for refuge; that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there. 16“‘But if he struck him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death. 17If he struck him with a stone in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death. 18Or if he struck him with a weapon of wood in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death. 19The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death. When he meets him, he shall put him to death. 20If he shoved him out of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died, 21or in hostility struck him with his hand, so that he died, he who struck him shall surely be put to death. He is a murderer. The avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meets him. 22“‘But if he shoved him suddenly without hostility, or hurled on him anything without lying in wait, 23or with any stone, by which a man may die, not seeing him, and cast it on him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm; 24then the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances. 25The congregation shall deliver the man slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, where he had fled. He shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil. 26“‘But if the man slayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, where he flees, 27and the avenger of blood finds him outside of the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kills the man slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood, 28because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest, the man slayer shall return into the land of his possession. 29“‘These things shall be for a statute and ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 30“‘Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses; but one witness shall not testify against any person that he die. 31“‘Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death. 32“‘You shall take no ransom for him who is fled to his city of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest. 33“‘So you shall not pollute the land in which you are; for blood pollutes the land. No atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it, but by the blood of him who shed it. 34You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell; for I, Yahweh, dwell in the midst of the children of Israel.’”
1En de HEERE sprak tot Mozes, in de vlakke velden der Moabieten, aan de Jordaan van Jericho, zeggende: 2Gebied den kinderen Israels, dat zij van de erfenis hunner bezitting aan de Levieten steden zullen geven om te bewonen; daartoe zult gijlieden aan de Levieten voorsteden geven, aan de steden rondom dezelve. 3En die steden zullen zij hebben om te bewonen; maar hun voorsteden zullen zijn voor hun beesten, en voor hun have, en voor al hun gedierte, 4En de voorsteden der steden, die gij aan de Levieten zult geven, zullen van den stadsmuur af, en naar buiten, van duizend ellen zijn rondom. 5En gij zult meten van buiten de stad, aan den hoek tegen het oosten, twee duizend ellen, en aan den hoek van het zuiden, twee duizend ellen, en aan den hoek van het westen, twee duizend ellen, en aan den hoek van het noorden, twee duizend ellen; dat de stad in het midden zij. Dit zullen zij hebben tot voorsteden van de steden. 6De steden nu, die gij aan de Levieten zult geven, zullen zijn zes vrijsteden, die gij geven zult, opdat de doodslager daarheen vliede; en boven dezelve zult gij hun twee en veertig steden geven. 7Al de steden, die gij aan de Levieten geven zult, zullen zijn acht en veertig steden, deze met haar voorsteden. 8De steden, die gij van de bezitting der kinderen Israels geven zult, zult gij van dien, die vele heeft, vele nemen, en van dien, die weinig heeft, weinige nemen; een ieder zal naar zijn erfenis, die zij zullen erven, van zijn steden aan de Levieten geven. 9Voorts sprak de HEERE tot Mozes, zeggende: 10Spreek tot de kinderen Israels, en zeg tot hen: Wanneer gij over de Jordaan gaat naar het land Kanaan. 11Zo zult gij maken, dat u steden tegemoet liggen, die u tot vrijsteden zullen zijn; opdat de doodslager daarheen vliede, die een ziel onwetend geslagen heeft. 12En deze steden zullen u tot een toevlucht zijn voor den bloed wreker; opdat de doodslager niet sterve, totdat hij voor de vergadering aan het gericht gestaan hebbe. 13En deze steden, die gij geven zult, zullen zes vrijsteden voor u zijn. 14Drie dezer vrijsteden zult gij geven op deze zijde van de Jordaan, en drie dezer steden zult gij geven in het land Kanaan; vrijsteden zullen het zijn. 15Die zes steden zullen voor de kinderen Israels, en voor den vreemdeling, en den bijwoner in het midden van hen, tot een toevlucht zijn; opdat daarheen vliede, wie een ziel onvoorziens slaat. 16Maar indien hij hem met een ijzeren instrument geslagen heeft, dat hij gestorven zij, een doodslager is hij; deze doodslager zal zekerlijk gedood worden. 17Of indien hij hem met een handsteen, waarvan met zoude kunnen sterven, geslagen heeft, dat hij gestorven zij, een doodslager is hij; deze doodslager zal zekerlijk gedood worden. 18Of indien hij hem met een houten handinstrument, waarvan men zoude kunnen sterven, geslagen heeft, dat hij gestorven zij, een doodslager is hij; deze doodslager zal zekerlijk gedood worden. 19De wreker des bloeds, die zal den doodslager doden; als hij hem ontmoet, zal hij hem doden. 20Indien hij hem ook door haat zal gestoten hebben, of met opzet op hem geworpen heeft, dat hij gestorven zij; 21Of hem door vijandschap met zijn hand geslagen heeft, dat hij gestorven zij; de slager zal zekerlijk gedood worden, een doodslager is hij; de bloedwreker zal dezen doodslager doden, als hij hem ontmoet. 22Maar indien hij hem met der haast, zonder vijandschap gestoten heeft, of enig instrument zonder opzet op hem geworpen heeft; 23Of onvoorziens met enigen steen, waarvan men zoude kunnen sterven, en hij dien op hem heeft doen vallen, dat hij gestorven zij, zo hij hem toch geen vijand was, noch zijn kwaad zoekende; 24Zo zal de vergadering richten tussen den slager, en tussen den bloedwreker, naar deze zelve rechten. 25En de vergadering zal den doodslager redden uit den hand des bloedwrekers, en de vergadering zal hem doen wederkeren tot zijn vrijstad, waarheen hij gevloden was; en hij zal daarin blijven tot den dood des hogepriesters, dien men met de heilige olie gezalfd heeft. 26Doch indien de doodslager enigzins zal gaan uit de palen zijner vrijstad, waarheen hij gevloden was, 27En de bloedwreker hem zal vinden buiten de palen zijner vrijstad; zo de bloedwreker den doodslager zal doden, het zal hem geen bloedschuld zijn. 28Want hij zou in zijn vrijstad gebleven zijn tot den dood des hogepriesters; maar na de dood des hogepriesters zal de doodslager wederkeren tot het land zijner bezitting. 29En deze dingen zullen ulieden zijn tot een inzetting van recht, bij uw geslachten, in al uw woningen. 30Al wie de ziel slaat, naar den mond der getuige zal men den doodslager doden, maar een enig getuige zal niet getuigen tegen een ziel, dat zij sterve. 31En gij zult geen verzoening nemen voor de ziel des doodslagers, die schuldig is te sterven; want hij zal zekerlijk gedood worden. 32Ook zult gij geen verzoening nemen voor dien, die gevlucht is naar zijn vrijstad, dat hij zou wederkeren, om te wonen in het land, tot den dood des hoge priesters. 33Zo zult gij niet ontheiligen het land, waarin gij zijt; want het bloed ontheiligt het land; en voor het land zal geen verzoening gedaan worden over het bloed, dat daarin vergoten is, dan door het bloed desgenen, die dat vergoten heeft. 34Verontreinigt dan het land niet, waarin gij gaat wonen, in welks midden Ik wonen zal; want Ik ben de HEERE, wonende in het midden der kinderen Israels.
