عَدَد 35
| ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى فِي سُهُولِ مُوآبَ بِالْقُرْبِ مِنْ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ مُقَابِلَ أَرِيحَا | ١ 1 |
The LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,
| «أَوْصِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يُعْطُوا اللّاوِيِّينَ مِمَّا يَرِثُونَ مُدُناً يَسْكُنُونَهَا، وَمَا حَوْلَهَا مِنْ مَرَاعٍ | ٢ 2 |
“Command the children of Israel to give to the Levites cities to dwell in out of their inheritance. You shall give pasture lands for the cities around them to the Levites.
| فَتَكُونُ الْمُدُنُ لإِقَامَتِهِمْ فِيهَا، وَأَرَاضِيهَا الْمُحِيطَةُ مَرَاعِيَ لِبَهَائِمِهِمْ وَمَوَاشِيهِمْ وَسَائِرِ حَيَوَانَاتِهِمْ. | ٣ 3 |
They shall have the cities to dwell in. Their pasture lands shall be for their livestock, and for their possessions, and for all their animals.
| وَتَمْتَدُّ أَرْضُ الْمَرَاعِي الَّتِي تُعْطُونَهَا لِلّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ سُورِ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى الْخَارِجِ، أَلْفَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِ مِئَةِ مِتْرٍ) فِي كُلِّ اتِّجَاهٍ. | ٤ 4 |
“The pasture lands 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.
| 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 |
You 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 pasture lands of their cities.
| وَتُعْطُونَ اللّاوِيِّينَ سِتَّ مُدُنٍ لِلْمَلْجَأِ يَهْرُبُ إِلَيْهَا الْقَاتِلُ، وَأَيْضاً اثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ مَدِينَةً. | ٦ 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.
| وَهَكَذَا تَكُونُ جُمْلَةُ الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي تُعْطُونَهَا لِلّاوِيِّينَ ثَمَانِيَ وَأَرْبَعِينَ مَدِينَةً مَعَ مَرَاعِيهَا. | ٧ 7 |
All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities together with their pasture lands.
| 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 |
Concerning 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.”
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: | ٩ 9 |
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
| «أَوْصِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ لابُدَّ عَابِرُونَ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، | ١٠ 10 |
“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
| فَعَيِّنُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ مُدُناً تَكُونُ مَلْجَأً لَكُمْ يَلُوذُ بِها مَنْ يَقْتُلُ أَحَداً عَنْ غَيْرِ عَمْدٍ، | ١١ 11 |
then 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.
| فَتَكُونَ لَكُمُ الْمُدُنُ مَلْجَأً يَلُوذُ بِها الْقَاتِلُ مِنْ وَلِيِّ الْقَتِيلِ، لِئَلّا يَمُوتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمْثُلَ أَمَامَ الْقَضَاءِ. | ١٢ 12 |
The cities shall be for your refuge from the avenger, that the man slayer not die until he stands before the congregation for judgement.
| أَمَّا الْمُدُنُ الَّتِي تُعَيِّنُونَهَا لِتَكُونَ لَكُمْ مَلاجِئَ فَهِيَ سِتُّ مُدُنٍ: | ١٣ 13 |
The cities which you shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge.
| ثَلاثٌ مِنْهَا فِي شَرْقِيِّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، وَثَلاثٌ أُخْرَى فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَجَمِيعُهَا تَكُونُ مُدُنَ مَلْجَإٍ، | ١٤ 14 |
You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and you shall give three cities in the land of Canaan. They 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 refuge for the children of Israel, for the stranger, and for the foreigner living amongst them, that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
| إِنْ ضَرَبَ أَحَدٌ إِنْسَاناً بِأَدَاةٍ حَدِيدِيَّةٍ وَمَاتَ الْمَضْرُوبُ فَهُوَ قَاتِلٌ، وَالْقَاتِلُ يُقْتَلُ. | ١٦ 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.
| وَإِنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِحَجَرٍ فِي يَدِهِ أَدَّى إِلَى مَوْتِهِ فَهُوَ قَاتِلٌ، وَالْقَاتِلُ يُقْتَلُ. | ١٧ 17 |
If 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.
| أَوْ ضَرَبَهُ بِقِطْعَةِ خَشَبٍ قَاتِلَةٍ فَهُوَ قَاتِلٌ، وَالْقَاتِلُ يُقْتَلُ. | ١٨ 18 |
Or 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.
| وَمِنْ حَقِّ وَلِيِّ الدَّمِ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ الْقَاتِلَ إِذَا صَادَفَهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death. When he meets him, he shall put him to death.
| إِنْ دَفَعَ أَحَدٌ شَخْصاً مِنْ فَرْطِ كَرَاهِيَّتِهِ لَهُ أَوْ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ شَيْئاً عَمْداً أَفْضَى إِلَى مَوْتِهِ، | ٢٠ 20 |
If he shoved him out of hatred, or hurled something at him while lying in wait, so that he died,
| أَوْ ضَرَبَهُ بِيَدِهِ بِفِعْلِ عَدَاوَتِهِ لَهُ فَمَاتَ، فَالضَّارِبُ يُقْتَلُ لأَنَّهُ قَاتِلٌ. وَمِنْ حَقِّ وَلِيِّ الدَّمِ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ الْقَاتِلَ إِذَا صَادَفَهُ. | ٢١ 21 |
or 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.
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ دَفَعَ أَحَدٌ شَخْصاً، لَا يَكِنُّ لَهُ عَدَاوَةً، أَوْ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ أَدَاةً مَا مِنْ غَيْرِ عَمْدٍ، | ٢٢ 22 |
“‘But if he shoved him suddenly without hostility, or hurled on him anything without lying in 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, by which a man may die, not seeing him, and cast it on him so that he died, and he was not his enemy and not seeking his harm,
| يَفْصِلُ آنَئِذٍ الْقَضَاءُ بَيْنَ الْقَاتِلِ وَطَالِبِ الثَّأْرِ، بِمُقْتَضَى هَذِهِ الأَحْكَامِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
then the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances.
| 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 |
The 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.
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ تَخَطَّى الْقَاتِلُ حُدُودَ مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ الَّتِي لاذَ بِها، | ٢٦ 26 |
“‘But if the man slayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge where he flees,
| وَالْتَقَاهُ وَلِيُّ الدَّمِ خَارِجَ حُدُودِ مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ وَقَتَلَهُ، فَلا يُطَالَبُ بِدَمِهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
and 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,
| 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 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.
| فَتَكُونُ لَكُمْ هَذِهِ فَرِيضَةَ قَضَاءٍ، جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ، حَيْثُ تُقِيمُونَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
“‘These things shall be for a statute and ordinance to 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 |
“‘Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain based on the testimony of witnesses; but one witness shall not testify alone against any person so that he dies.
| لَا تَقْبَلُوا فِدْيَةً عَنْ نَفْسِ الْقَاتِلِ الَّذِي وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْحُكْمُ بِالْمَوْتِ، بَلْ يَجِبُ أَنْ يُقْتَلَ. | ٣١ 31 |
“‘Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death. He shall surely be put to death.
| وَلا تَقْبَلُوا فِدْيَةً مِنَ الْقَاتِلِ غَيْرِ الْمُتَعَمِّدِ الَّذِي لاذَ بِمَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ لِيَرْجِعَ لِلإِقَامَةِ فِي أَرْضِهِ قَبْلَ وَفَاةِ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
“‘You shall take no ransom for him who has fled to his city of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land before 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 you shall not pollute the land where you live; 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.
| لَا تُنَجِّسُوا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ مُقِيمُونَ فِيهَا وَحَيْثُ أَنَا سَاكِنٌ فِي وَسَطِهَا، لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ سَاكِنٌ فِي وَسَطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٣٤ 34 |
You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, where I dwell; for I, the LORD, dwell amongst the children of Israel.’”
