Joshua 20
1 And the Lord said to Joshua,
Potom reèe Gospod Isusu govoreæi:
2 Say to the children of Israel, Let certain towns be marked out as safe places, as I said to you by the mouth of Moses,
Kaži sinovima Izrailjevijem i reci: Odredite gradove za utoèišta, za koje sam vam govorio preko Mojsija,
3 So that any man who in error and without design has taken the life of another, may go in flight to them: and they will be safe places for you from him who has the right of punishment for blood.
Da onamo uteèe krvnik koji ubije koga nehotice, ne misleæi, da vam budu utoèišta od osvetnika.
4 And if anyone goes in flight to one of those towns, and comes into the public place of the town, and puts his cause before the responsible men of the town, they will take him into the town and give him a place among them where he may be safe.
Pa kad ko uteèe u koji od tijeh gradova, neka stane pred vratima gradskim i neka kaže starješinama onoga grada stvar svoju, pa neka ga prime k sebi, i dadu mu mjesto da sjedi kod njih.
5 And if the one who has the right of punishment comes after him, they are not to give the taker of life up to him; because he was the cause of his neighbour's death without designing it and not in hate.
I ako doðe za njim osvetnik, neka mu ne dadu krvnika u ruke, jer je nehotice ubio bližnjega niti je prije mrzio na nj.
6 And he is to go on living in that town till he has to come before the meeting of the people to be judged; (till the death of him who is high priest at that time: ) then the taker of life may come back to his town and to his house, to the town from which he had gone in flight.
Nego neka sjedi u gradu onom dokle ne stane pred zbor na sud, do smrti poglavara sveštenièkoga koji bude onda, tada neka se krvnik vrati i ide u svoj grad i svojoj kuæi, u grad iz kojega je utekao.
7 So they made selection of Kedesh in Galilee in the hill-country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (which is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah.
I odijeliše Kedes u Galileji u gori Neftalimovoj i Sihem u gori Jefremovoj i Kirijat-Arvu, to je Hevron, u gori Judinoj.
8 And on the east side of Jordan at Jericho, they made selection of Bezer in the waste land, in the table-land, out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.
A preko Jordana od Jerihona na istok odrediše Vosor u pustinji, u ravni, od plemena Ruvimova, i Ramot u Galadu od plemena Gadova, i Golan u Vasanu od plemena Manasijina.
9 These were the towns marked out for all the children of Israel and for the man from a strange country living among them, so that anyone causing the death of another in error, might go in flight there, and not be put to death by him who has the right of punishment for blood till he had come before the meeting of the people.
To su gradovi odreðeni svijem sinovima Izrailjevijem i došljaku koji se bavi meðu njima, da uteèe u njih ko god ubije koga nehotice i da ne pogine od ruke osvetnikove dokle ne stane pred zbor.
