Numbers 35
1 And the Lord said to Moses in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho,
Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu na moábskih ravninah, poleg Jordana, blizu Jerihe, rekoč:
2 Give orders to the children of Israel to give to the Levites, from the heritage which is theirs, towns for themselves, with land on the outskirts of the towns.
»Zapovej Izraelovim otrokom, da dajo Lévijevcem dediščino njihovih posestnih mest, da prebivajo v njih. Lévijevcem boste dali tudi predmestja za mesta okoli njih.
3 These towns are to be their living-places, with land round them for their cattle and their food and all their beasts,
Mesta bodo imeli, da prebivajo v njih, njihova predmestja pa bodo za njihovo živino, za njihove dobrine in za vse njihove živali.
4 Stretching from the wall of the towns a distance of a thousand cubits all round.
Predmestja mest, ki jih boste dali Lévijevcem, bodo segala od mestnega obzidja navzven, tisoč komolcev naokoli.
5 The measure of this space of land is to be two thousand cubits outside the town on the east, and two thousand cubits on the south and on the west and on the north, the town being in the middle. This space will be the outskirts of their towns.
Izmerili boste mesto od zunaj, na vzhodni strani dva tisoč komolcev, na južni strani dva tisoč komolcev, na zahodni strani dva tisoč komolcev in na severni strani dva tisoč komolcev, in mesto bo v sredi. To jim bodo predmestja mest.
6 And the towns which you give the Levites are to be the six safe places to which the taker of life may go in flight; and in addition you are to give them forty-two towns.
Med mesti, ki jih boste dali Lévijevcem, bo tam šest mest za zatočišče, ki jih boste določili za ubijalca, da bo lahko pobegnil tja. In tem boste dodali dvainštirideset mest.
7 Forty-eight towns are to be given to the Levites, all with land round them.
Tako bo vseh mest, ki jih boste dali Lévijevcem, oseminštirideset mest. Te boste dali z njihovimi predmestji.
8 And these towns are to be given out of the heritage of the children of Israel, taking the greater number from those who have much, and a smaller number from those who have little: everyone, in the measure of his heritage, is to give of his property to the Levites.
Mesta, ki jih boste dali, bodo od posesti Izraelovih otrok, od tistih, ki imajo mnogo, boste dali mnogo, toda od tistih, ki imajo malo, boste dali malo. Vsak bo od svojih mest Lévijevcem dal glede na njegovo dediščino, ki jo deduje.«
9 And the Lord said to Moses,
Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
10 Say to the children of Israel, when you have gone over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
»Govori Izraelovim otrokom in jim reci: ›Ko boste čez Jordan prešli v kánaansko deželo,
11 Then let certain towns be marked out as safe places to which anyone who takes the life of another in error may go in flight.
potem si boste določili mesta, da bodo za vas zavetna mesta, da tja lahko pobegne ubijalec, ki nenamerno ubije katerokoli osebo.
12 In these towns you may be safe from him who has the right of punishment; so that death may not overtake the taker of life till he has been judged by the meeting of the people.
Ta vam bodo mesta za zatočišče pred maščevalcem, da ubijalec ne umre, dokler stoji pred skupnostjo v sodbi.
13 Six of the towns which you give will be such safe places;
Od teh mest, ki jih boste dali, boste šest mest imeli za zatočišče.
14 Three on the other side of Jordan and three in the land of Canaan, to be safe places for flight.
Dali boste tri mesta na tej strani Jordana in tri mesta v kánaanski deželi, ki bodo zavetna mesta.
15 For the children of Israel and for the man from another country who is living among them, these six towns are to be safe places, where anyone causing the death of another through error may go in flight.
Teh šest mest bo zatočišče, tako za Izraelove otroke in za tujca in za začasnega prebivalca med njimi, da vsak, kdor nenamerno ubije katerokoli osebo, lahko pobegne tja.
16 But if a man gives another man a blow with an iron instrument, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.
Če ga udari z železno pripravo, tako da ta umre, je morilec. Morilec bo zagotovo usmrčen.
17 Or if he gives him a blow with a stone in his hand, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.
Če ga udari z metom kamna, s katerim lahko umre in ta umre, je morilec. Morilec bo zagotovo usmrčen.
18 Or if he gave him blows with a wood instrument in his hands, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.
Ali če ga udari z ročnim orožjem iz lesa, s katerim ta lahko umre in ta umre, je morilec. Morilec bo zagotovo usmrčen.
19 He whose right it is to give punishment for blood, may himself put to death the taker of life when he comes face to face with him.
Sam krvni maščevalec naj ubije morilca. Ko ga sreča, ga bo ubil.
20 If in his hate he put a sword through him, or waiting secretly for him sent a spear or stone at him, causing his death;
Toda če ga sune iz sovraštva ali se nanj zažene s prežanjem iz zasede, da ta umre,
21 Or in hate gave him blows with his hand, causing death; he who gave the death-blow is to be put to death; he is a taker of life: he whose right it is to give punishment for blood may put to death the taker of life when he comes face to face with him.
ali ga v mržnji udari s svojo roko, da ta umre; kdor ga je udaril, bo zagotovo usmrčen, kajti morilec je. Krvni maščevalec naj morilca ubije, ko ga sreča.
22 But if a man has given a wound to another suddenly and not in hate, or without design has sent something against him,
Toda če ga je nenadoma sunil brez mržnje ali je brez prežanja v zasedi nanj vrgel kakršnokoli stvar
23 Or has given him a blow with a stone, without seeing him, so causing his death, though he had nothing against him and no desire to do him evil:
ali s kakršnimkoli kamnom, s katerim lahko človek umre, pa ga ni videl in ga je vrgel nanj, da umre in ni bil njegov sovražnik niti ni iskal njegove škode,
24 Then let the meeting of the people be judge between the man responsible for the death and him who has the right of punishment for blood, acting by these rules:
potem bo glede teh sodb skupnost sodila med ubijalcem in krvnim maščevalcem
25 And let the people keep the man responsible for the death safe from the hands of him who has the right of punishment for blood, and send him back to his safe town where he had gone in flight: there let him be till the death of the high priest who was marked with the holy oil.
in skupnost bo ubijalca osvobodila iz roke krvnega maščevalca in skupnost ga bo vrnila v mesto njegovega zatočišča, kamor je pobegnil in ta bo ostal v njem do smrti vélikega duhovnika, ki je bil maziljen s svetim oljem.
26 But if ever he goes outside the walls of the safe town where he had gone in flight,
Toda če bo ubijalec kadarkoli prišel izven meje mesta svojega zatočišča, kamor je pobegnil
27 And the giver of punishment, meeting him outside the walls of the town, puts him to death, he will not be responsible for his blood:
in ga krvni maščevalec najde zunaj meje mesta njegovega zatočišča in krvni maščevalec ubije ubijalca, ne bo kriv krvi,
28 Because he had been ordered to keep inside the safe town till the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the taker of life may come back to the place of his heritage.
ker bi do smrti vélikega duhovnika moral ostati v mestu svojega zatočišča. Toda po smrti vélikega duhovnika se bo ubijalec lahko vrnil v deželo svoje posesti.
29 These rules are to be your guide in judging through all your generations wherever you may be living.
Torej te stvari vam bodo za zakon sodbe skozi vaše rodove v vseh vaših prebivališčih.
30 Anyone causing the death of another is himself to be put to death on the word of witnesses: but the word of one witness is not enough.
Kdorkoli ubije katerokoli osebo, bo morilec usmrčen po ustih prič. Toda ena priča ne bo pričevala zoper katerokoli osebo, da bi ji povzročila, da ta umre.
31 Further, no price may be given for the life of one who has taken life and whose right reward is death: he is certainly to be put to death.
Poleg tega ne boste sprejeli nobene odkupnine za življenje morilca, ki je kriv smrti, temveč bo ta zagotovo usmrčen.
32 And no price may be offered for one who has gone in flight to a safe town, for the purpose of letting him come back to his place before the death of the high priest.
Nobene odkupnine ne boste jemali za tistega, ki je pobegnil k mestu svojega zatočišča, da bi ta lahko ponovno prišel, da prebiva v deželi, do smrti duhovnika.
33 So do not make the land where you are living unholy: for blood makes the land unholy: and there is no way of making the land free from the blood which has come on it, but only by the death of him who was the cause of it.
Tako ne boste oskrunili dežele, v kateri ste, kajti kri omadežuje deželo in dežela ne more biti očiščena krvi, ki je v njej prelita, razen po krvi tistega, ki jo je prelil.
34 Do not make unclean the land where you are living and in which is my House: for I the Lord am present among the children of Israel.
Ne omadežujte torej dežele, ki jo boste poselili, v kateri prebivam, kajti jaz, Gospod, prebivam med Izraelovimi otroki.‹«
