Numbers 35
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, [near] Jericho, saying,
Reče Jahve Mojsiju na Moapskim poljanama kod Jordana, nasuprot Jerihonu:
2 “Command the sons of Israel, and they have given to the Levites cities to inhabit from the inheritance of their possession; you also give [the] outskirt around them, of the cities, to the Levites.
“Naredi Izraelcima da ustupe levitima od baštine koju posjeduju gradove gdje će stanovati i pašnjake oko gradova. To dajte levitima.
3 And the cities have been for them to inhabit, and their outskirts are for their livestock, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
Neka gradovi budu njima za stanovanje, a okolni pašnjaci neka budu za njihova goveda, njihovo blago i sve njihove životinje.
4 And the outskirts of the cities which you give to the Levites [are], from the wall of the city and outside, one thousand cubits around.
Pašnjaci uz gradove koje ustupite levitima neka zahvate od gradskih zidina van do tisuću lakata naokolo.
5 And you have measured from the outside of the city: the east quarter—two thousand by the cubit, and the south quarter—two thousand by the cubit, and the west quarter—two thousand by the cubit, and the north quarter—two thousand by the cubit; and the city [is] in the midst; this is the outskirts of the cities to them.
Izmjerite od grada van dvije tisuće lakata s istočne strane, dvije tisuće lakata s južne strane, dvije tisuće lakata sa zapadne strane i sa sjeverne strane dvije tisuće lakata, tako da grad bude u sredini. To neka im budu gradski pašnjaci.
6 And the cities which you give to the Levites [are] the six cities of refuge, which you give for the fleeing there of the manslayer, and besides them you give forty-two cities;
Od gradova koje budete dali levitima šest će ih biti gradovi-utočišta, koje ćete ustupiti da ubojica može tamo pobjeći. Ovima dodajte još četrdeset i dva grada.
7 all the cities which you give to the Levites [are] forty-eight cities, them and their outskirts.
Tako će svih gradova koje ustupite levitima biti četrdeset i osam gradova s njihovim pašnjacima.
8 And the cities which you give [are] from the possession of the sons of Israel; from the many you multiply, and from the few you diminish; each, according to his inheritance which they inherit, gives to the Levites from his cities.”
A gradove koje budete izdvajali od vlasništva Izraelaca, od onih koji ih imaju mnogo uzmite više, a manje od onih koji imaju malo. Neka svatko ustupi gradove levitima prema omjeru baštine koju bude primio.”
9 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Nadalje reče Jahve Mojsiju:
10 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When you are passing over the Jordan to the land of Canaan,
“Govori Izraelcima i reci im: 'Kad prijeđete preko Jordana u zemlju kanaansku,
11 and have prepared cities for yourselves—they are cities of refuge to you—then a manslayer, striking a person through ignorance, has fled there,
označite sebi gradove koji će vam služiti kao gradovi-utočišta, kamo može pobjeći ubojica koji nehotice koga ubije.
12 and the cities have been for a refuge to you from the redeemer, and the manslayer does not die until his standing before the congregation for judgment.
Ti gradovi neka vam budu utočište od osvetnika, tako da ubojica ne moradne poginuti dok ne stane na sud pred zajednicu.
13 As for the cities which you give, six [are] cities of refuge to you;
Od gradova koje ustupite bit će vam šest gradova za utočište.
14 three of the cities you give from beyond the Jordan, and three of the cities you give in the land of Canaan; they are cities of refuge.
Dodijelite tri grada s onu stranu Jordana, a tri grada u zemlji kanaanskoj. Neka to budu gradovi-utočišta.
15 For sons of Israel, and for a sojourner, and for a settler in their midst, are these six cities for a refuge, for the fleeing there of anyone striking a person through ignorance.
Tih šest gradova neka budu za utočište kako Izraelcima tako i strancu i došljaku koji među njima borave, kamo može pobjeći tko god ubije koga nehotice.
16 And if he has struck him with an instrument of iron, and he dies, he [is] a murderer: the murderer is certainly put to death.
Ali ako tko udari koga gvozdenim predmetom te ga usmrti, to je onda ubojica. Ubojica mora glavom platiti.
17 And if he has struck him with a stone [in] the hand, with which he could die, and he dies, he [is] a murderer: the murderer is certainly put to death.
Udari li ga iz ruke kamenom od kojega čovjek može poginuti i zbilja pogine, to je opet ubojica. Ubojica mora glavom platiti.
18 Or [if] he has struck him with a wooden instrument [in] the hand, with which he could die, and he dies, he [is] a murderer: the murderer is certainly put to death.
Ili ako ga udari iz ruke kakvim drvenim predmetom od kojega može umrijeti i zbilja umre, i to je ubojica. Ubojica mora glavom platiti.
19 The redeemer of blood puts the murderer to death himself; in his coming against him he puts him to death.
Krvni osvetnik mora sam ubojicu usmrtiti. Kad ga sretne, neka ga ubije.
20 And if he pushes him in hatred, or has cast [anything] at him by lying in wait, and he dies,
Nadalje, ako tko koga gurne iz mržnje ili na nj nešto baci namjerno te ga usmrti,
21 or he has struck him with his hand in enmity, and he dies, the striker is certainly put to death; he [is] a murderer; the redeemer of blood puts the murderer to death in his coming against him.
ili ga udari rukom iz zlobe te udareni umre, napadač mora zaglaviti - on je ubojica. Krvni osvetnik neka ubojicu ubije čim ga sretne.
22 And if, in an instant, without enmity, he has pushed him, or has cast any instrument at him without lying in wait,
No gurne li ga slučajno, ne iz neprijateljstva, ili nešto na nj baci, ali ne iz zasjede,
23 or with any stone with which he could die, without seeing, indeed, causes [it] to fall on him, and he dies, and he [is] not his enemy, nor seeking his evil,
ili iz nepažnje na njega obori kakav kamen od kojega čovjek može poginuti te ga usmrti, a nije mu bio neprijatelj niti mu je zlo želio -
24 then the congregation has judged between the striker and the redeemer of blood by these judgments.
tada neka zajednica prosudi između ubojice i krvnog osvetnika prema ovim pravilima:
25 And the congregation has delivered the manslayer out of the hand of the redeemer of blood, and the congregation has caused him to return to the city of his refuge, to where he has fled, and he has dwelt in it until the death of the chief priest who has been anointed with the holy oil.
Zajednica mora izbaviti ubojicu iz ruku krvnog osvetnika; onda neka ga zajednica vrati u grad-utočište kamo je pobjegao; tu neka on ostane do smrti velikoga svećenika koji je bio pomazan svetim uljem.
26 And if the manslayer indeed goes out [from] the border of the city of his refuge to where he flees,
Ali ako ubojica ikad izađe izvan granice utočišta kamo je pobjegao,
27 and the redeemer of blood has found him at the outside of the border of the city of his refuge, and the redeemer of blood has slain the manslayer, blood [is] not [reckoned] to him;
pa na nj nabasa krvni osvetnik izvan granica njegova grada-utočišta te krvni osvetnik ubije ubojicu, to mu se ne računa u krvoproliće,
28 for he dwells in the city of his refuge until the death of the chief priest; and after the death of the chief priest the manslayer turns back to the city of his possession.
jer ubojica mora ostati u gradu-utočištu do smrti velikoga svećenika. A poslije smrti velikoga svećenika može se vratiti na svoj posjed.
29 And these things have been for a statute of judgment to you throughout your generations, in all your dwellings.
Neka vam takvi budu sudbeni postupci od naraštaja do naraštaja svuda gdje budete boravili.
30 Whoever strikes a person, by the mouth of witnesses [one] slays the murderer; and one witness does not testify against a person to cause [him] to die.
Za svako ubojstvo čovjeka kazna smrti nad ubojicom može se izvršiti na dokaz svjedoka. Nitko se ne može smrću kazniti na dokaz samo jednog svjedoka.
31 And you take no atonement for the life of a murderer who [is] condemned to die, for he is certainly put to death;
Ne smijete primati otkupnine za život ubojice koji je zaslužio smrt: on mora umrijeti.
32 and you take no atonement for him [who had] to flee to the city of his refuge, to return to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
Niti smijete primati otkupnine od bilo koga koji, pošto je pobjegao u svoj grad-utočište, hoće da se vrati i da živi na svome tlu prije smrti velikoga svećenika.
33 And you do not profane the land which you [are] in, for blood profanes the land; as for the land, it is not pardoned for blood which is shed in it except by the blood of him who sheds it;
Nemojte oskvrnjivati zemlje u kojoj živite. A krvoprolićem zemlja se oskvrnjuje. Za zemlju na kojoj je krv prolivena pomirenje se ne može pribaviti, osim krvlju onoga koji ju je prolio.
34 and you do not defile the land in which you are dwelling, in the midst of which I dwell, for I, YHWH, dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel.”
Ne smije se obeščašćivati zemlja u kojoj živite i usred koje ja boravim, jer ja, Jahve, prebivam među sinovima Izraelovim.'”
