Numbers 35

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

١ ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي عَرَبَاتِ مُوآبَ عَلَى أُرْدُنِّ أَرِيحَا قَائِلًا:

2 Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and all of you shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.

٢ «أَوْصِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يُعْطُوا ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ نَصِيبِ مُلْكِهِمْ مُدُنًا لِلسَّكَنِ، وَمَسَارِحَ لِلْمُدُنِ حَوَالَيْهَا تُعْطُونَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ.

3 And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.

٣ فَتَكُونُ ٱلْمُدُنُ لَهُمْ لِلسَّكَنِ وَمَسَارِحُهَا تَكُونُ لِبَهَائِمِهِمْ وَأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَلِسَائِرِ حَيَوَانَاتِهِمْ.

4 And the suburbs of the cities, which all of you shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.

٤ وَمَسَارِحُ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ تَكُونُ مِنْ سُورِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى جِهَةِ ٱلْخَارِجِ أَلْفَ ذِرَاعٍ حَوَالَيْهَا.

5 And all of you shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.

٥ فَتَقِيسُونَ مِنْ خَارِجِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ جَانِبَ ٱلشَّرْقِ أَلْفَيْ ذِرَاعٍ، وَجَانِبَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ أَلْفَيْ ذِرَاعٍ، وَجَانِبَ ٱلْغَرْبِ أَلْفَيْ ذِرَاعٍ، وَجَانِبَ ٱلشِّمَالِ أَلْفَيْ ذِرَاعٍ، وَتَكُونُ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ فِي ٱلْوَسَطِ. هَذِهِ تَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَسَارِحَ ٱلْمُدُنِ.

6 And among the cities which all of you shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which all of you shall appoint for the murderer, that he may flee thither: and to them all of you shall add forty and two cities.

٦ «وَٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ تَكُونُ سِتٌّ مِنْهَا مُدُنًا لِلْمَلْجَإِ. تُعْطُونَهَا لِكَيْ يَهْرُبَ إِلَيْهَا ٱلْقَاتِلُ. وَفَوْقَهَا تُعْطُونَ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ مَدِينَةً.

7 So all the cities which all of you shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall all of you give with their suburbs.

٧ جَمِيعُ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ ثَمَانِي وَأَرْبَعُونَ مَدِينَةً مَعَ مَسَارِحِهَا.

8 And the cities which all of you shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many all of you shall give many; but from them that have few all of you shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inherits.

٨ وَٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ مِنْ مُلْكِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِنَ ٱلْكَثِيرِ تُكَثِّرُونَ، وَمِنَ ٱلْقَلِيلِ تُقَلِّلُونَ. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ نَصِيبِهِ ٱلَّذِي مَلَكَهُ يُعْطِي مِنْ مُدُنِهِ لِلَّاوِيِّينَ».

9 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

٩ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When all of you be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

١٠ «كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ عَابِرُونَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ.

11 Then all of you shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which kills any person at unexpectedly.

١١ فَتُعَيِّنُونَ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مُدُنًا تَكُونُ مُدُنَ مَلْجَإٍ لَكُمْ، لِيَهْرُبَ إِلَيْهَا ٱلْقَاتِلُ ٱلَّذِي قَتَلَ نَفْسًا سَهْوًا.

12 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the murderer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.

١٢ فَتَكُونُ لَكُمُ ٱلْمُدُنُ مَلْجَأً مِنَ ٱلْوَلِيِّ، لِكَيْلَا يَمُوتَ ٱلْقَاتِلُ حَتَّى يَقِفَ أَمَامَ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ لِلْقَضَاءِ.

13 And of these cities which all of you shall give six cities shall all of you have for refuge.

١٣ وَٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ تَكُونُ سِتَّ مُدُنِ مَلْجَإٍ لَكُمْ.

14 All of you shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall all of you give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.

١٤ ثَلَاثًا مِنَ ٱلْمُدُنِ تُعْطُونَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، وَثَلَاثًا مِنَ ٱلْمُدُنِ تُعْطُونَ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. مُدُنَ مَلْجَإٍ تَكُونُ

15 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that kills any person unexpectedly may flee thither.

١٥ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلِلْغَرِيبِ وَلِلْمُسْتَوْطِنِ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ تَكُونُ هَذِهِ ٱلسِّتُّ ٱلْمُدُنِ لِلْمَلْجَإِ، لِكَيْ يَهْرُبَ إِلَيْهَا كُلُّ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا سَهْوًا.

16 And if he strike him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

١٦ «إِنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِأَدَاةِ حَدِيدٍ فَمَاتَ، فَهُوَ قَاتِلٌ. إِنَّ ٱلْقَاتِلَ يُقْتَلُ.

17 And if he strike him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

١٧ وَإِنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِحَجَرِ يَدٍ مِمَّا يُقْتَلُ بِهِ فَمَاتَ، فَهُوَ قَاتِلٌ. إِنَّ ٱلْقَاتِلَ يُقْتَلُ.

18 Or if he strike him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

١٨ أَوْ ضَرَبَهُ بِأَدَاةِ يَدٍ مِنْ خَشَبٍ مِمَّا يُقْتَلُ بِهِ، فَهُوَ قَاتِلٌ. إِنَّ ٱلْقَاتِلَ يُقْتَلُ.

19 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meet him, he shall slay him.

١٩ وَلِيُّ ٱلدَّمِ يَقْتُلُ ٱلْقَاتِلَ. حِينَ يُصَادِفُهُ يَقْتُلُهُ.

20 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;

٢٠ وَإِنْ دَفَعَهُ بِبُغْضَةٍ أَوْ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا بِتَعَمُّدٍ فَمَاتَ،

21 Or in enmity strike him with his hand, that he die: he that stroke him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meet him.

٢١ أَوْ ضَرَبَهُ بِيَدِهِ بِعَدَاوَةٍ فَمَاتَ، فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ ٱلضَّارِبُ لِأَنَّهُ قَاتِلٌ. وَلِيُّ ٱلدَّمِ يَقْتُلُ ٱلْقَاتِلَ حِينَ يُصَادِفُهُ.

22 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,

٢٢ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ دَفَعَهُ بَغْتَةً بِلَا عَدَاوَةٍ، أَوْ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ أَدَاةً مَّا بِلَا تَعَمُّدٍ،

23 Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:

٢٣ أَوْ حَجَرًا مَّا مِمَّا يُقْتَلُ بِهِ بِلَا رُؤْيَةٍ. أَسْقَطَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَمَاتَ، وَهُوَ لَيْسَ عَدُوًّا لَهُ وَلَا طَالِبًا أَذِيَّتَهُ،

24 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:

٢٤ تَقْضِي ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ بَيْنَ ٱلْقَاتِلِ وَبَيْنَ وَلِيِّ ٱلدَّمِ، حَسَبَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَحْكَامِ.

25 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, where he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.

٢٥ وَتُنْقِذُ ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ ٱلْقَاتِلَ مِنْ يَدِ وَلِيِّ ٱلدَّمِ، وَتَرُدُّهُ ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ ٱلَّتِي هَرَبَ إِلَيْهَا، فَيُقِيمُ هُنَاكَ إِلَى مَوْتِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٱلَّذِي مُسِحَ بِٱلدُّهْنِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ.

26 But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, where he was fled;

٢٦ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ خَرَجَ ٱلْقَاتِلُ مِنْ حُدُودِ مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ ٱلَّتِي هَرَبَ إِلَيْهَا،

27 And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:

٢٧ وَوَجَدَهُ وَلِيُّ ٱلدَّمِ خَارِجَ حُدُودِ مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ، وَقَتَلَ وَلِيُّ ٱلدَّمِ ٱلْقَاتِلَ، فَلَيْسَ لَهُ دَمٌ،

28 Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.

٢٨ لِأَنَّهُ فِي مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ يُقِيمُ إِلَى مَوْتِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ. وَأَمَّا بَعْدَ مَوْتِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ فَيَرْجِعُ ٱلْقَاتِلُ إِلَى أَرْضِ مُلْكِهِ.

29 So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

٢٩ «فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ لَكُمْ فَرِيضَةَ حُكْمٍ إِلَى أَجْيَالِكُمْ فِي جَمِيعِ مَسَاكِنِكُمْ.

30 Whoso kills any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.

٣٠ كُلُّ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا فَعَلَى فَمِ شُهُودٍ يُقْتَلُ ٱلْقَاتِلُ. وَشَاهِدٌ وَاحِدٌ لَا يَشْهَدْ عَلَى نَفْسٍ لِلْمَوْتِ.

31 Moreover all of you shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.

٣١ وَلَا تَأْخُذُوا فِدْيَةً عَنْ نَفْسِ ٱلْقَاتِلِ ٱلْمُذْنِبِ لِلْمَوْتِ، بَلْ إِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ.

32 And all of you shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.

٣٢ وَلَا تَأْخُذُوا فِدْيَةً لِيَهْرُبَ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ، فَيَرْجِعَ وَيَسْكُنَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ.

33 So all of you shall not pollute the land wherein all of you are: for blood it defiles the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.

٣٣ لَا تُدَنِّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ فِيهَا، لِأَنَّ ٱلدَّمَ يُدَنِّسُ ٱلْأَرْضَ. وَعَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ لَا يُكَفَّرُ لِأَجْلِ ٱلدَّمِ ٱلَّذِي سُفِكَ فِيهَا، إِلَا بِدَمِ سَافِكِهِ.

34 Defile not therefore the land which all of you shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.

٣٤ وَلَا تُنَجِّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ مُقِيمُونَ فِيهَا ٱلَّتِي أَنَا سَاكِنٌ فِي وَسَطِهَا. إِنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ سَاكِنٌ فِي وَسَطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».
