民數記 35

1 上主在耶里哥對面，約但河邊，摩阿布曠野內，訓示梅瑟說：「

And he spoke Yahweh to Moses in [the] plains of Moab at [the] Jordan of Jericho saying.

2 你命令以色列子民，應由他們分得的產業內，指定一些城給肋未人居住，將城四周的牧場，也分給肋未人。

Command [the] people of Israel and they will give to the Levites some of [the] inheritance of possession their cities to dwell in and pasture land for the cities around them you will give to the Levites.

3 這些城歸他們居住，城郊的牧場為牧放他們所有的牛羊和一切牲畜。

And they will belong the cities to them to dwell in and pasture lands their they will be for cattle their and for property their and for every animal their.

4 你們劃給肋未城郊的牧場，應由城牆起，周圍向外伸展至二千肘，

And [the] pasture lands of the cities which you will give to the Levites [will be] from [the] wall of the city and [the] outside towards one thousand cubit[s] all around.

5 即由城外向東方量二千肘，向南方量二千肘，向西方量二千肘，向北方量二千肘，城在中央；這些土地為作他們城郊的牧場。

And you will measure from [the] outside of the city [the] side of east-ward two thousand by the cubit and [the] side of [the] south two thousand by the cubit and [the] side of [the] west - two thousand by the cubit and [the] side of [the] north two thousand by the cubit and the city [will be] in the middle this it will belong to them [the] pasture lands of the cities.

6 分給肋未人的城中，應指定六座為避難城，殺人者可逃入城中。此外還應給他們四十二座城。

And the cities which you will give to the Levites [the] six [the] cities of refuge which you will give to flee there towards the killer and to them you will give forty and two citi[es].

7 這樣，劃給肋未人的城，共計四十八座，連城郊的牧場在內。

All the cities which you will give to the Levites [will be] forty and eight citi[es] them and pasture lands their.

8 當你們由以色列子民的產業中，劃分給肋未人城邑時，由大支派應多取，由小支派應少取；每支派應依照自己分得的產業，將城邑劃給肋未人。」

And the cities which you will give from [the] possession of [the] people of Israel from with the many you will increase and from with the few you will decrease each one according to [the] mouth of inheritance its which they will inherit it will give some of cities its to the Levites.

9 上主訓示梅瑟說：「

And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.

10 你告訴以色列子民說：幾時你們過約但河進入了客納罕地，

Speak to [the] people of Israel and you will say to them if you [are] about to pass over the Jordan [the] land of towards Canaan.

11 應選定幾座城作你們的避難城，凡誤殺人的，可逃到那裡。

And you will make happen to yourselves cities cities of refuge they will be for you and he will flee there towards a killer [who] has struck down a person by inadvertence.

12 這些城可作為你們脫免復仇者的避難所，好使殺人者不致在未立於會眾前受審判以前，便遭人殺害。

And they will become for you the cities a refuge from an avenger and not he will die the killer until stands he before the congregation for judgment.

13 你們應指定六座城作為你們的避難城。

And the cities which you will give six cities of refuge they will be for you.

14 在約但河東指定三座，在客納罕地指定三座，作為避難城。

- three Cities you will give from [the] other side of the Jordan and three cities you will give in [the] land of Canaan cities of refuge they will be.

15 這六座城為以色列子民和外方人，以及住在你們中間的人，作為避難所；凡誤殺人的，都可逃到那裡去。

For [the] people of Israel and for the sojourner and for the resident alien in midst of them they will become [the] six the cities these a refuge to flee there towards any [one who] strikes down a person by inadvertence.

16 人若用鐵器打人，將人打死，他就是兇手，兇手應處死刑。

And if with an instrument of iron - he struck down him and he died [is] a killer he certainly he will be put to death the killer.

17 人若用手中可砸死人的石頭打人，將人砸死；他就是兇手，兇手應處死刑。

And if with a stone of hand which someone will die by it he struck down him and he died [is] a killer he certainly he will be put to death the killer.

18 或者人若用手中可打死人的木器打人，將人打死，他就是兇手，兇手應處死刑。

Or with an instrument of wood of hand which someone will die by it he struck down him and he died [is] a killer he certainly he will be put to death the killer.

19 報血仇的，可將兇手殺死；幾時遇見他，可將他殺死。

[the] avenger of Blood he he will put to death the killer when meets he him he he will put to death him.

20 人若因懷恨撞倒了人，或故意拋物打人，致使那人死了；

And if in hatred he will push him or he threw on him with lying in wait and he died.

21 或者因仇恨用手打人，將人打死；打人的應處死刑，因他是兇手；報血仇的人，幾時遇著兇手，可將他殺死。

Or in enmity he struck down him with hand his and he died certainly he will be put to death the [one who] struck [is] a killer he [the] avenger of blood he will put to death the killer when meets he him.

22 但是，若人並無怨仇，偶然撞倒人，或無意中拋物傷人，

And if in an instant with not enmity he pushed him or he threw on him any weapon with not lying in wait.

23 或因沒有看見，使任何能打死人的石頭落在人身上，致使那人死了，彼此並沒有仇恨，也沒有意思害人，

Or with any stone which someone will die by it with not seeing [him] and he made [it] fall on him and he died and he not [was] an enemy of him and not [was] seeking harm his.

24 對這樣的案件，應在打死人的和要報血仇者之間進行裁判。

And they will judge the congregation between the [one who] struck and between [the] avenger of blood on the judgments these.

25 會眾要把殺人者由報血仇者手內救出，使他回到他曾逃入的避難城內，叫他住在那裡，直到傅過聖油的大司祭去逝。

And they will deliver the congregation the killer from [the] hand of [the] avenger of blood and they will return him the congregation to [the] city of refuge his where he had fled there towards and he will dwell in it until [the] death of the priest great whom someone had anointed him with [the] oil of holiness.

26 但殺人者如果離開他逃入避難城的邊界以外，

And if ever he will go out the killer [the] border of [the] city of refuge his where he will flee there towards.

27 報血仇者在避難城邊界以外遇見了他，將死殺人者殺死，他並不犯流向的罪，

And he will find him [the] avenger of blood from [the] outside of [the] border of [the] city of refuge his and he will kill [the] avenger of blood the killer not [will belong] to him blood.

28 因為那該留在避難城內，直到大司祭去世；大司祭死後，殺人者方可回到屬自己產業的地方：

For in [the] city of refuge his he will remain until [the] death of the priest great and after [the] death of the priest great he will return the killer to [the] land of possession his.

29 這是你們世世代代，在你們任何住處，應遵守的法令。

And they will become these [things] for you a statute of judgment to generations your in all dwelling places your.

30 凡殺人的案件，應依據幾個證人的口供，才可以處決殺人犯；惟獨一人作證，不足以以人宣判死刑。

Any [one who] strikes down a person to [the] mouth of witnesses someone will kill the killer and a witness one not he will testify against anyone to die.

31 對於被判死刑的殺人犯，你們不可取贖命金，，因為他應該死

And not you will take a ransom for [the] life of a killer who he [is] guilty to die for certainly he will be put to death.

32 同樣，你們對逃入避難城的人，亦不可取贖金，准他在大司祭死以前回到本鄉居住。

And not you will take a ransom to flee to [the] city of refuge his to return to dwell in the land until [the] death of the priest.

33 你們不可玷污你們所居之地，因為血能玷污地；在那裏流了血，除非那殺人者的血，為那地沒有其他取潔的方法。

And not you will pollute the land which you [are] in it for blood it it pollutes the land and for the land not it will be atoned to the blood which it was shed in it that except by [the] blood of [the] [one who] shed it.

34 你們不可褻瀆你們所居之地，這地也是我居留之地，因為我上主是住在以色列子民中間」。

And not you will make unclean the land which you [are] dwelling in it which I [am] dwelling in [the] midst of it for I Yahweh [am] dwelling in among [the] people of Israel.
