Numbers 35
1 The Lord spoke to Moses on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan opposite Jericho. He told him,
ヱリコに對するヨルダンの邊なるモアブの平野においてヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
2 “Order the Israelites to provide from their land allocation towns for the Levites to live in and pastures around the towns.
イスラエルの子孫に命じてその獲たる產業の中よりレビ人に住べき邑々を與へしめよ汝らまたその邑々の周圍に郊地をつけてレビ人に與ふべし
3 The towns are for them to live in, and the pastures will be for their herds and their flocks—for all their livestock.
その邑々は彼らの住べき所その郊地は彼らの家畜貨財および諸の獣をおくところたるべし
4 The pastures around the towns you give to the Levites are to extend out from the wall a thousand cubits on all sides.
汝らがレビ人に與ふる邑々の郊地は邑の石垣より外四周一千キユビトなるべし
5 Measure two thousand cubits outside the town on the east, two thousand on the south, two thousand on the west, and two thousand on the north, with the town in the middle. These areas will be their pastures around the towns.
すなはち邑の外に於て東の方に二千キユビト南の方に二千キユビト西の方に二千キユビト北の方に二千キユビトを量り邑をその中にあらしむべし彼らの邑の郊地は是のごとくなるべし
6 Six of the towns you give the Levites are to be sanctuary towns, where a person who kills someone can run for protection. As well as these towns, give the Levites forty-two more.
汝らがレビ人に與ふる邑々は是のごとくなるべし即ち逃遁邑六を與ふべし是は人を殺せる者の其處に逃るべきための者なり此外にまた邑四十二を與ふべし
7 The total number of towns you are to give the Levites is forty-eight, along with their pastures.
汝らがレビ人に與ふる邑は都合四十八邑これを其郊地とともに與ふべし
8 The towns that you allocate to be given to the Levites from the territory of the Israelites will be more from a larger tribe and less from a smaller one. The number will be in proportion to the size of the land allocation of each tribe.”
汝らイスラエルの子孫の產業の中よりレビ人に邑を與ふるには多く有る者は多く與へ少く有る者は少く與へ各人その獲たる產業にしたがひてその邑々を之に與ふべし
9 The Lord told Moses,
ヱホバまたモーセに告て言たまはく
10 “Tell the Israelites: ‘When you cross over the Jordan into Canaan,
イスラエルの子孫に告てこれに言へ汝らヨルダンを濟りてカナンの地に入ば
11 choose towns as your sanctuary towns, so a person who kills someone by mistake may run there.
汝らのために邑を設けて逃遁邑と爲し誤りて人を殺せる者をして其處に逃るべからしむべし
12 These towns will be for you places of sanctuary from those seeking revenge, so that the killer will not die until they are tried in court.
其は汝らが仇打する者を避て逃るべき邑なり是あるは人を殺せる者が未だ會衆の前にたちて審判をうけざる先に殺さるること無らんためなり
13 The towns you choose will be your six sanctuary towns.
汝らが予ふる邑々の中六をもて逃遁邑とすべし
14 Choose three cities on the other side of the Jordan and three in Canaan as cities of refuge.
すなはち汝らヨルダンの此旁において三の邑を予ヘカーナンの地において三の邑を予へて逃遁邑となすべし
15 These six cities will be places of sanctuary for the Israelites and for foreigners or settlers among them, so that anyone who kills a person by mistake may run there.
この六の邑はイスラエルの子孫と他國人およびその中に寄寓る者の逃遁場たるべし凡て誤りて人を殺せる者は其處に逃るることを得べし
16 But if anyone deliberately hits someone with something made of iron and kills them, that person is a murderer and must be executed.
もし鐵の器をもて人を撃て死しめなば是故殺なり故殺人はかならず殺さるべし
17 If anyone picks up something made of stone that could be used as a weapon and hits someone with it, and kills them, that person is a murderer and must be executed.
もし人を殺すほどの石を執て人を撃て死しめなば是故殺なり故殺人はかならず殺さるべし
18 If anyone picks up something made of wood that could be used as a weapon and hits someone with it, and kills them, that person is a murderer and must be executed.
また人を殺すほどの木の器をとりて人を撃て死しめなば是故殺なり故殺人はかならず殺さるべし
19 The avenger is to execute the murderer. When he finds the murderer, he is to kill him.
仇を打つ者その故殺人を殺すことを得すなはち之に遭ふところにて之を殺すことを得るなり
20 Similarly, if anyone hates someone and knocks them down or deliberately throws something at them, and they're killed;
もしまた怨恨のために人を推しまたは意ありて人に物を投うちて死しめ
21 or if someone hits another with his hand and they die, the one who hit him must be executed because he is a murderer. When the avenger finds the murderer, he is to kill him.
または敵の心を挾さみ手をもて人を撃て死しめなばその人を撃たる者は必ず殺さるべし是故殺なればなり仇を打つ者これに遭ふところにて之を殺すことを得べし
22 But if anyone knocks someone else down without meaning to and without hating them, or throws something at them not meaning to hurt them,
然どもし敵の心なくして思はず人を推しまたは意なくして人に物を擲ち
23 or carelessly drops a heavy stone that kills them, but not as an enemy or intending to harm them,
または人あるを見ずして人を殺すほどの石を之に投つけて死しむること有んにその人これが敵にもあらずまた之を害せんとせしにもあらざる時は
24 then the community must judge between the killer and the avenger following these regulations.
會衆この律法によりてその人を殺せる者と仇打する者とに審判を言わたすべし
25 The court is to protect the killer from being attacked by the avenger and must return him to the sanctuary town that he ran to, and he must stay there until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with holy oil.
即ち會衆はその人を殺せる者を仇打する者の手より救ひ出してこれをその逃れゆきたる逃遁邑に還すべしその者は聖膏を灌れたる祭司の長の死るまで其處に居べし
26 But if the killer ever leaves the limits of sanctuary town where they ran to,
然ど人を殺しし者その逃れし逃遁邑の境を出でたらんに
27 and the avenger finds him them outside his sanctuary town and kills him, then the avenger will not be guilty of murder,
仇打する者その逃遁邑の境の外にてこれに遭ことありて仇打する者すなはちその人を殺しし者を殺すことあるとも血をながせる罪あらじ
28 because the killer has to stay in his sanctuary town until the death of the high priest. Only after the death of the high priest are they allowed to return to the land they own.
其は彼は祭司の長の死るまでその逃遁邑に居べき者なればなり祭司の長の死たる後はその人を殺せし者おのれの產業の地にかへることを得べし
29 These regulations apply to all future generations wherever you live.
汝ら代々その住所において之を審判の法度とすべし
30 If anyone kills a person, the murderer is to be executed based on the evidence given by witnesses, plural. No one is to be executed based on the evidence given by a single witness.
凡て人を殺せる者すなはち故殺人は證人の口にしたがひて殺さるべし然ど只一人の證人の言にしたがひて人を殺すことを爲べからず
31 You are not to accept payment instead of executing a murderer who has been found guilty—they must be executed.
汝ら死に當る故殺人の生命を贖はしむべからず必ずこれを殺すべし
32 Also you are not allowed to accept payment for a person who runs to a sanctuary town and permit them to return and live on their own land before the death of the high priest.
また逃遁邑に逃れたる者の贖を容て祭司の死ざる前にこれを自己の地に歸り住しむる勿れ
33 Don't pollute the land where you live because bloodshed pollutes the land, and the land where blood is shed can't be purified except by the blood of the one who shed it.
汝らその居ところの地を汚すべからず血は地を汚すなり地の上に流せる血は之を流せる者の血をもてするに非れば贖ふことを得ざるなり
34 Don't make the land impure where you live because I live there too. I am the Lord, and I live with the Israelites.”
汝らその住ところの地すなはち我が居ところの地を汚すなかれ其は我ヱホバ、イスラエルの子孫の中に居ばなり
