ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى فِي سُهُولِ مُوآبَ بِالْقُرْبِ مِنْ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ مُقَابِلَ أَرِيحَا ١ 1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
«أَوْصِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يُعْطُوا اللّاوِيِّينَ مِمَّا يَرِثُونَ مُدُناً يَسْكُنُونَهَا، وَمَا حَوْلَهَا مِنْ مَرَاعٍ ٢ 2
Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and all of you shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.
فَتَكُونُ الْمُدُنُ لإِقَامَتِهِمْ فِيهَا، وَأَرَاضِيهَا الْمُحِيطَةُ مَرَاعِيَ لِبَهَائِمِهِمْ وَمَوَاشِيهِمْ وَسَائِرِ حَيَوَانَاتِهِمْ. ٣ 3
And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
وَتَمْتَدُّ أَرْضُ الْمَرَاعِي الَّتِي تُعْطُونَهَا لِلّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ سُورِ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى الْخَارِجِ، أَلْفَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِ مِئَةِ مِتْرٍ) فِي كُلِّ اتِّجَاهٍ. ٤ 4
And the suburbs of the cities, which all of you shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
فَقِيسُوا مِنْ خَارِجِ الْمَدِينَةِ فِي الْجَانِبِ الشَّرْقِيِّ أَلْفَيْ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ أَلْفِ مِتْرٍ). وَفِي الْجَانِبِ الْجَنُوبِيِّ أَلْفَيْ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ أَلْفِ مِتْرٍ). وَفِي الْجَانِبِ الْغَرْبِيِّ أَلْفَيْ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ أَلْفِ مِتْرٍ)، وَفِي الْجَانِبِ الشِّمَالِيِّ أَلْفَيْ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ أَلْفِ مِتْرٍ)، وَتَكُونُ الْمَدِينَةُ فِي الْوَسَطِ. ٥ 5
And all of you shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
وَتُعْطُونَ اللّاوِيِّينَ سِتَّ مُدُنٍ لِلْمَلْجَأِ يَهْرُبُ إِلَيْهَا الْقَاتِلُ، وَأَيْضاً اثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ مَدِينَةً. ٦ 6
And among the cities which all of you shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which all of you shall appoint for the murderer, that he may flee thither: and to them all of you shall add forty and two cities.
وَهَكَذَا تَكُونُ جُمْلَةُ الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي تُعْطُونَهَا لِلّاوِيِّينَ ثَمَانِيَ وَأَرْبَعِينَ مَدِينَةً مَعَ مَرَاعِيهَا. ٧ 7
So all the cities which all of you shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall all of you give with their suburbs.
وَالْمُدُنُ الَّتِي تُعْطُونَهَا لِلّاوِيِّينَ مِمَّا يَمْلِكُهُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ، تُعْطُونَهَا بِمَا يَتَنَاسَبُ مَعَ مِيرَاثِ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ: خُذُوا مُدُناً أَكْثَرَ مِنَ السِّبْطِ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ عَدَداً أَكْبَرَ، وَخُذُوا مُدُناً أَقَلَّ مِنَ السِّبْطِ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ الْقَلِيلَ، فَيُعْطِيَ كُلُّ سِبْطٍ مِنْ مُدُنِهِ بِمَا يَتَنَاسَبُ مَعَ مِيرَاثِهِ». ٨ 8
And the cities which all of you shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many all of you shall give many; but from them that have few all of you shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inherits.
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: ٩ 9
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
«أَوْصِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ لابُدَّ عَابِرُونَ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، ١٠ 10
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When all of you be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
فَعَيِّنُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ مُدُناً تَكُونُ مَلْجَأً لَكُمْ يَلُوذُ بِها مَنْ يَقْتُلُ أَحَداً عَنْ غَيْرِ عَمْدٍ، ١١ 11
Then all of you shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which kills any person at unexpectedly.
فَتَكُونَ لَكُمُ الْمُدُنُ مَلْجَأً يَلُوذُ بِها الْقَاتِلُ مِنْ وَلِيِّ الْقَتِيلِ، لِئَلّا يَمُوتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمْثُلَ أَمَامَ الْقَضَاءِ. ١٢ 12
And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the murderer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
أَمَّا الْمُدُنُ الَّتِي تُعَيِّنُونَهَا لِتَكُونَ لَكُمْ مَلاجِئَ فَهِيَ سِتُّ مُدُنٍ: ١٣ 13
And of these cities which all of you shall give six cities shall all of you have for refuge.
ثَلاثٌ مِنْهَا فِي شَرْقِيِّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، وَثَلاثٌ أُخْرَى فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَجَمِيعُهَا تَكُونُ مُدُنَ مَلْجَإٍ، ١٤ 14
All of you shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall all of you give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
يَلُوذُ بِها كُلُّ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْساً عَنْ غَيْرِ عَمْدٍ، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ الْقَاتِلُ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَمْ مِنَ الْغُرَبَاءِ أَوِ الْمُسْتَوْطِنِينَ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ. فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ الْمُدُنُ السِّتُّ لِلْمَلْجَإِ. ١٥ 15
These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that kills any person unexpectedly may flee thither.
إِنْ ضَرَبَ أَحَدٌ إِنْسَاناً بِأَدَاةٍ حَدِيدِيَّةٍ وَمَاتَ الْمَضْرُوبُ فَهُوَ قَاتِلٌ، وَالْقَاتِلُ يُقْتَلُ. ١٦ 16
And if he strike him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
وَإِنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِحَجَرٍ فِي يَدِهِ أَدَّى إِلَى مَوْتِهِ فَهُوَ قَاتِلٌ، وَالْقَاتِلُ يُقْتَلُ. ١٧ 17
And if he strike him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
أَوْ ضَرَبَهُ بِقِطْعَةِ خَشَبٍ قَاتِلَةٍ فَهُوَ قَاتِلٌ، وَالْقَاتِلُ يُقْتَلُ. ١٨ 18
Or if he strike him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
وَمِنْ حَقِّ وَلِيِّ الدَّمِ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ الْقَاتِلَ إِذَا صَادَفَهُ. ١٩ 19
The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meet him, he shall slay him.
إِنْ دَفَعَ أَحَدٌ شَخْصاً مِنْ فَرْطِ كَرَاهِيَّتِهِ لَهُ أَوْ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ شَيْئاً عَمْداً أَفْضَى إِلَى مَوْتِهِ، ٢٠ 20
But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;
أَوْ ضَرَبَهُ بِيَدِهِ بِفِعْلِ عَدَاوَتِهِ لَهُ فَمَاتَ، فَالضَّارِبُ يُقْتَلُ لأَنَّهُ قَاتِلٌ. وَمِنْ حَقِّ وَلِيِّ الدَّمِ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ الْقَاتِلَ إِذَا صَادَفَهُ. ٢١ 21
Or in enmity strike him with his hand, that he die: he that stroke him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meet him.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ دَفَعَ أَحَدٌ شَخْصاً، لَا يَكِنُّ لَهُ عَدَاوَةً، أَوْ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ أَدَاةً مَا مِنْ غَيْرِ عَمْدٍ، ٢٢ 22
But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,
أَوْ أَسْقَطَ عَلَيْهِ حَجَراً قَاتِلاً مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَرَاهُ، فَمَاتَ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُضْمِرُ لَهُ عَدَاوَةً أَوْ يَسْعَى إِلَى أَذِيَّتِهِ، ٢٣ 23
Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
يَفْصِلُ آنَئِذٍ الْقَضَاءُ بَيْنَ الْقَاتِلِ وَطَالِبِ الثَّأْرِ، بِمُقْتَضَى هَذِهِ الأَحْكَامِ. ٢٤ 24
Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:
وَتُنْقِذُ الْجَمَاعَةُ الْقَاتِلَ مِنْ يَدِ وَلِيِّ الدَّمِ، وَتَرُدُّهُ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ الْمَلْجَإِ الَّتِي لاذَ بِها، فَيُقِيمُ فِيهَا إِلَى أَنْ يَمُوتَ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ الْمَمْسُوحُ بِالدُّهْنِ الْمُقَدَّسِ. ٢٥ 25
And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, where he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ تَخَطَّى الْقَاتِلُ حُدُودَ مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ الَّتِي لاذَ بِها، ٢٦ 26
But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, where he was fled;
وَالْتَقَاهُ وَلِيُّ الدَّمِ خَارِجَ حُدُودِ مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ وَقَتَلَهُ، فَلا يُطَالَبُ بِدَمِهِ. ٢٧ 27
And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
لأَنَّ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَظَلَّ مُقِيماً فِي مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ إِلَى أَنْ يَمُوتَ رَئِيسُ الْكَهَنَةِ، وَبَعْدَهَا يَرْجِعُ الْقَاتِلُ إِلَى أَرْضِ مِيرَاثِهِ. ٢٨ 28
Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
فَتَكُونُ لَكُمْ هَذِهِ فَرِيضَةَ قَضَاءٍ، جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ، حَيْثُ تُقِيمُونَ. ٢٩ 29
So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
كُلُّ مَنْ يَقْتُلُ نَفْساً يُحْكَمُ عَلَيْهِ بِالْمَوْتِ بِشَهَادَةِ شُهُودٍ، وَلَكِنْ لَا يُحْكَمُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ بِالْمَوْتِ بِشَهَادَةِ شَاهِدٍ وَاحِدٍ فَقَطْ. ٣٠ 30
Whoso kills any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.
لَا تَقْبَلُوا فِدْيَةً عَنْ نَفْسِ الْقَاتِلِ الَّذِي وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْحُكْمُ بِالْمَوْتِ، بَلْ يَجِبُ أَنْ يُقْتَلَ. ٣١ 31
Moreover all of you shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
وَلا تَقْبَلُوا فِدْيَةً مِنَ الْقَاتِلِ غَيْرِ الْمُتَعَمِّدِ الَّذِي لاذَ بِمَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ لِيَرْجِعَ لِلإِقَامَةِ فِي أَرْضِهِ قَبْلَ وَفَاةِ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ. ٣٢ 32
And all of you shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
لَا تُدَنِّسُوا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ فِيهَا، لأَنَّ سَفْكَ الدَّمِ يُدَنِّسُ الأَرْضَ، وَلا يُكَفَّرُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي سُفِكَ عَلَيْهَا الدَّمُ إِلا بِدَمِ السَّافِكِ. ٣٣ 33
So all of you shall not pollute the land wherein all of you are: for blood it defiles the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
لَا تُنَجِّسُوا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ مُقِيمُونَ فِيهَا وَحَيْثُ أَنَا سَاكِنٌ فِي وَسَطِهَا، لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ سَاكِنٌ فِي وَسَطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». ٣٤ 34
Defile not therefore the land which all of you shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
