Deuteronomy 19
1 “When your God YHWH cuts off the nations whose land your God YHWH is giving to you, and you have dispossessed them, and dwelt in their cities and in their houses,
Kad Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, izdeldēs tās tautas, kuru zemi Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos, un tu tās iemantosi un dzīvosi viņu pilsētās un viņu namos.
2 you separate three cities for yourself in the midst of your land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it.
Tad trīs pilsētas tev būs atšķirt savā zemē, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos iemantot.
3 You prepare the way for yourself, and have divided into three parts the border of your land which your God YHWH causes you to inherit, and it has been for the fleeing there of every manslayer.
Sataisi ceļu uz turieni, un iedali trīs daļās savas zemes robežas, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev liks iemantot, ka uz turieni var bēgt ikviens, kas kādu nokāvis.
4 And this [is] the matter of the manslayer who flees there, and has lived: he who strikes his neighbor unknowingly, and is not hating him before—
Un tā lai notiek ar to, kas kādu nokāvis: kas uz turieni bēgs, tas dzīvos, ja savu tuvāko netīši nositis un ar to iepriekš nav bijis ienaidā.
5 even he who comes into a forest with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand has driven with an axe to cut the tree, and the iron has slipped from the wood, and has met his neighbor, and he has died—he flees to one of these cities, and has lived,
Ja kas ar savu tuvāko mežā ietu, malku cirst, un viņš paceltu savu roku ar cirvi, malku cirst, un cirvis nomuktu no kāta un aizķertu viņa tuvāko, ka tas mirtu, tas lai bēg uz vienu no šīm pilsētām, ka paliek dzīvs,
6 lest the redeemer of blood pursue after the manslayer when his heart is hot and has overtaken him, because the way is great, and has struck his life, and he has no sentence of death, for he is not hating him before;
Lai asiņu atriebējs nedzenās pakaļ nokāvējam, kad viņa sirds iekarsusi, un to nepanāk, kad tas ceļš būtu tālu, un viņam neņem dzīvību, jebšu viņš nāvi nav pelnījis, jo viņš ar to iepriekš nebija ienaidā.
7 therefore I am commanding you, saying, You separate three cities for yourself.
Tāpēc es tev pavēlu un saku: tev būs sev atšķirt trīs pilsētas.
8 And if your God YHWH enlarges your border, as He has sworn to your fathers, and has given to you all the land which He has spoken to give to your fathers—
Un kad Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, izplatīs tavas robežas, kā Viņš taviem tēviem ir zvērējis, un tev dos visu zemi, ko Viņš solījis dot taviem tēviem,
9 when you keep all this command to do it, which I am commanding you today, to love your God YHWH and to walk in His ways [for] all the days—then you have added three more cities for yourself to these three;
(Kad tu visu šo likumu turēsi, un darīsi, ko es tev šodien pavēlu, ka tu mīļo To Kungu, savu Dievu, un visu mūžu staigā Viņa ceļos): tad tev vēl sev būs pielikt trīs pilsētas pie šīm trim;
10 and [do this] lest innocent blood is shed in the midst of your land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance, and there has been blood on you.
Lai nenoziedzīgas asinis netop izlietas tavā zemē, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos par īpašumu, un lai nepaliek asins vainas uz tevis.
11 And when a man is hating his neighbor, and has lain in wait for him, and risen against him, and struck his life, and he has died, then he has fled to one of these cities,
Bet ja kāds būs, kas savu tuvāko ienīst un uz viņu glūn un pret viņu ceļas un viņu sit, ka mirst, un bēg uz vienu no šīm pilsētām,
12 and [the] elderly of his city have sent and taken him from there, and given him into the hand of the redeemer of blood, and he has died;
Tad viņa pilsētas vecajiem būs sūtīt un viņu no turienes paņemt, un nodot asiņu atriebējam rokā, lai mirst.
13 your eye has no pity on him, and you have put away the innocent blood from Israel, and it is well with you.
Lai tava acs viņu nežēlo, bet tev būs atņemt tā nenoziedzīgā asinis no Israēla, lai tev labi klājās. -
14 You do not remove a border of your neighbor, which they of former times have made, in your inheritance, which you inherit in the land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it.
Tev nebūs pārcelt sava tuvākā ežas (robežas), ko tie tēvi likuši tavā daļā, ko tu iemantosi tai zemē, ko tev Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, dos iemantot.
15 One witness does not rise against a man for any iniquity and for any sin, in any sin which he sins; by the mouth of two witnesses or by the mouth of three witnesses is a thing established.
Vienam vienīgam lieciniekam nebūs celties pret nevienu par kādu noziegumu jeb par kādu grēku, ko tas būtu darījis; uz divu vai treju liecinieku vārda lai tā lieta pastāv.
16 When a violent witness rises against a man to testify against him apostasy,
Kad blēdīgs liecinieks ceļas pret kādu, pret viņu apliecināt pārkāpumu,
17 then both of the men who have the strife have stood before YHWH, before the priests and the judges who are in those days,
Tad tiem diviem vīriem, kam tā ķilda, būs stāties Tā Kunga priekšā, priekš tiem priesteriem un tiem soģiem, kas to brīdi būs,
18 and the judges have searched diligently, and behold, the witness [is] a false witness who has testified a falsehood against his brother,
Un tiem soģiem būs labi izvaicāt, un redzi, ja tas liecinieks ir viltīgs liecinieks un devis nepatiesu liecību pret savu brāli,
19 then you have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and you have put away evil out of your midst,
Tad jums būs viņam darīt, itin kā viņš nodomāja darīt savam brālim, un tev to ļaunumu no sevis būs izdeldēt,
20 and those who are left hear and fear, and do not add to do according to this evil thing in your midst anymore.
Lai tie citi to dzird un bīstas, un vairs nedara tādu ļaunu darbu tavā vidū.
21 And your eye does not pity—life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.”
Tad nu lai tava acs nežēlo: dzīvība pret dzīvību, acs pret aci, zobs pret zobu, roka pret roku, kāja pret kāju.
