Joshua 20
1 And the Lord said to Joshua,
И рече Господь ко Иисусу, глаголя:
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,
рцы сыном Израилевым, глаголя: дадите грады убежений, яже рекох к вам Моисеом:
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.
убежище убийце поразившему душу неволею: и будут вам грады убежище, и не умрет убийца от ужика крове, дондеже предстанет пред сонмом на суд.
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.
И (аще кто) убегнет во един от градов сих, и станет во вратех града, и исповесть во уши старцем града того словеса своя: и приимут его сонм к себе, и дадят ему место жити с ними:
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.
и егда поженет ужик крове вслед его, и не дадут убившаго в руце его: яко не ведый уби ближняго своего и не ненавидя той его от вчера и третияго дне:
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.
и да вселится в той град, дондеже станет пред лицем сонма на суд, и дондеже умрет жрец великий, иже будет в тыя дни: тогда да обратится убийца, и внидет во град свой и в дом свой, и во град, отнюдуже избеже.
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.
И отделиша Кедес в Галилеи, в горе Неффалимли, и Сихем в горе Ефремли, и Град Арво (сей есть Хеврон) в горе Иуде:
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.
и об ону страну Иордана ко Иерихону на восток, даша Восор в пустыни в поли от племене Рувимля, и Рамоф в Галааде от племене Гадова, и Голан в Васанитиде от племене Манассиина:
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.
сии грады избраны быша всем сыном Израилевым и пришелцу прилежащему в них, еже убежати тамо всякому убивающему душу неволею, да не умрет от руку ужика крове, дондеже станет пред сонмом на суд.
