申命记 19
1 “耶和华—你 神将列国之民剪除的时候，耶和华—你 神也将他们的地赐给你，你接着住他们的城邑并他们的房屋，
Whanne thi Lord God hath distried the folkis, whose lond he schal yyue to thee, and thou hast weldid it, and hast dwellid in the citees and housis therof;
2 就要在耶和华—你 神所赐你为业的地上分定三座城。
thou schalt departe thre citees to thee `in the myddis of the lond which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee into possessioun.
3 要将耶和华—你 神使你承受为业的地分为三段；又要预备道路，使误杀人的，都可以逃到那里去。
Thou schalt make redi diligentli the weye, and thou schalt departe euenly in to thre partis al the prouynce of thi lond, that he that is exilid for mansleyng, haue `of nyy whidur he may ascape.
4 “误杀人的逃到那里可以存活，定例乃是这样：凡素无仇恨，无心杀了人的，
This schal be the lawe of a mansleere fleynge, whos lijf schal be kept. If a man smytith vnwityngli his neiybore, and which is preuyd to haue not had ony hatered ayens hym yistirdai and the thridde dai agoon,
5 就如人与邻舍同入树林砍伐树木，手拿斧子一砍，本想砍下树木，不料，斧头脱了把，飞落在邻舍身上，以致于死，这人逃到那些城的一座城，就可以存活，
but to haue go sympli with hym in to the wode to hewe doun trees, and in the fellyng doun of trees the axe fleeth fro the hond, and the yrun slidith fro the helue, and smytith, and sleeth his freend; this man schal flee to oon of the forseid citees, and schal lyue;
6 免得报血仇的，心中火热追赶他，因路远就追上，将他杀死；其实他不该死，因为他与被杀的素无仇恨。
lest perauenture the next kynesman of hym, whos blood is sched out, be prickid with sorewe, and `pursue, and take hym, if the weie is lengere, and smyte `the lijf of hym which is not gilti of deeth; for it is schewid that he hadde not ony hatered bifore ayens hym that is slayn.
7 所以我吩咐你说，要分定三座城。
Therfor Y comaunde to thee, that thou departe thre citees of euene space bitwixe hem silf.
8 耶和华—你 神若照他向你列祖所起的誓扩张你的境界，将所应许赐你列祖的地全然给你，
Forsothe whanne thi Lord God hath alargid thi termes, as he swoor to thi fadris, and hath youe to thee al the lond which he bihiyte to hem; if netheles thou kepist hise comaundementis,
9 你若谨守遵行我今日所吩咐的这一切诫命，爱耶和华—你的 神，常常遵行他的道，就要在这三座城之外，再添三座城，
and doist tho thingis whiche Y comaunde to thee to day, that thou loue thi Lord God, and go in hise weies in al tyme, thou schalt adde to thee thre othere citees, and thou schalt double the noumbre of the forseid citees,
10 免得无辜之人的血流在耶和华—你 神所赐你为业的地上，流血的罪就归于你。
that gilteles blood be not sched out in the myddis of the lond which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee to haue in possessioun, lest thou be gilti of blood.
11 “若有人恨他的邻舍，埋伏着起来击杀他，以致于死，便逃到这些城的一座城，
Forsothe if ony man hatith his neiybore, and settith aspies, `ether tresouns, to his lijf, and risith, and smytith him, and he is deed, and he fleeth to oon of the forseid citees,
12 本城的长老就要打发人去，从那里带出他来，交在报血仇的手中，将他治死。
the eldere men of that citee schulen sende, and `thei schulen take hym fro the place of refuyt; and thei schulen bitake hym in to the hond of the nexte kynesman of hym, whos blood is sched out,
13 你眼不可顾惜他，却要从以色列中除掉流无辜血的罪，使你可以得福。”
and he schal die, and thou schalt not haue mercy on hym; and thou schalt do awey gilti blood fro Israel, that it be wel to thee.
14 “在耶和华—你 神所赐你承受为业之地，不可挪移你邻舍的地界，那是先人所定的。”
Thou schalt not take, and turne ouer the termes of thi neiybore, which the formere men settiden in thi possessioun, which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee in the lond, `which lond thou schalt take `to be weldid.
15 “人无论犯什么罪，作什么恶，不可凭一个人的口作见证，总要凭两三个人的口作见证才可定案。
O witnesse schal not stonde ayens ony man, what euer thing it is of synne and of wickidnesse; but ech word schal stonde in the mouth of tweyne ethir of thre witnessis.
16 若有凶恶的见证人起来，见证某人作恶，
If a fals witnesse stondith ayens a man, and accusith hym of brekyng of the lawe, bothe,
17 这两个争讼的人就要站在耶和华面前，和当时的祭司，并审判官面前，
of whiche the cause is, schulen stonde bifor the Lord, in the siyt of preestis, and of iugis, that ben in tho daies.
18 审判官要细细地查究，若见证人果然是作假见证的，以假见证陷害弟兄，
And whanne thei sekynge moost diligentli han founde that the fals witnesse seide a leesyng ayens his brothir,
19 你们就要待他如同他想要待的弟兄。这样，就把那恶从你们中间除掉。
thei schulen yelde to hym, as he thouyte to do to his brother; and thou schalt do awey yuel fro the myddis of thee, that othere men here,
20 别人听见都要害怕，就不敢在你们中间再行这样的恶了。
and haue drede, and be no more hardi to do siche thingis.
21 你眼不可顾惜，要以命偿命，以眼还眼，以牙还牙，以手还手，以脚还脚。”
Thou schalt not haue mercy on hym, but thou schalt axe lijf for lijf, iye for iye, tooth for tooth, hond for hond, foot for foot.
