Numbers 35
1 The LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,
Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu na moábskih ravninah, poleg Jordana, blizu Jerihe, rekoč:
2 "Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and you shall give suburbs for the cities around them to the Levites.
»Zapovej Izraelovim otrokom, da dajo Lévijevcem dediščino njihovih posestnih mest, da prebivajo v njih. Lévijevcem boste dali tudi predmestja za mesta okoli njih.
3 The cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their livestock, and for their substance, and for all their animals.
Mesta bodo imeli, da prebivajo v njih, njihova predmestja pa bodo za njihovo živino, za njihove dobrine in za vse njihove živali.
4 "The suburbs of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward one thousand seven hundred twenty-two feet six inches around it.
Predmestja mest, ki jih boste dali Lévijevcem, bodo segala od mestnega obzidja navzven, tisoč komolcev naokoli.
5 You shall measure outside of the city for the east side three thousand four hundred forty-five feet, and for the south side three thousand four hundred forty-five feet, and for the west side three thousand four hundred forty-five feet, and for the north side three thousand four hundred forty-five feet, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
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 "The cities which you shall give to the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the manslayer to flee to: and besides them you shall give forty-two cities.
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 All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities together with their suburbs.
Tako bo vseh mest, ki jih boste dali Lévijevcem, oseminštirideset mest. Te boste dali z njihovimi predmestji.
8 Concerning the cities which you shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many you shall take many; and from the few you shall take few: everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give of his cities 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 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
10 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
»Govori Izraelovim otrokom in jim reci: ›Ko boste čez Jordan prešli v kánaansko deželo,
11 then you shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
potem si boste določili mesta, da bodo za vas zavetna mesta, da tja lahko pobegne ubijalec, ki nenamerno ubije katerokoli osebo.
12 The cities shall be to you for refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer not die, until he stands before the congregation for judgment.
Ta vam bodo mesta za zatočišče pred maščevalcem, da ubijalec ne umre, dokler stoji pred skupnostjo v sodbi.
13 The cities which you shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge.
Od teh mest, ki jih boste dali, boste šest mest imeli za zatočišče.
14 You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and you shall give three cities in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge.
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 stranger and for the foreigner living among them, shall these six cities be for refuge; that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
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 he struck him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
Če ga udari z železno pripravo, tako da ta umre, je morilec. Morilec bo zagotovo usmrčen.
17 If he struck him with a stone in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely 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 struck him with a weapon of wood in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely 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 The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death: when he meets him, he shall put him to death.
Sam krvni maščevalec naj ubije morilca. Ko ga sreča, ga bo ubil.
20 If he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died,
Toda če ga sune iz sovraštva ali se nanj zažene s prežanjem iz zasede, da ta umre,
21 or in enmity struck him with his hand, so that he died; he who struck him shall surely be put to death. He is a murderer, the murderer must surely be put to death; the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death when he meets 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 he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled on him anything without lying in wait,
Toda če ga je nenadoma sunil brez mržnje ali je brez prežanja v zasedi nanj vrgel kakršnokoli stvar
23 or with any stone, by which a man may die, not seeing him, and cast it on him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm;
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 the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances;
potem bo glede teh sodb skupnost sodila med ubijalcem in krvnim maščevalcem
25 and the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, where he was fled: and he shall dwell in it until the death of the high priest, who was anointed 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 the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, where he flees,
Toda če bo ubijalec kadarkoli prišel izven meje mesta svojega zatočišča, kamor je pobegnil
27 and the avenger of blood find him outside of the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the manslayer; he shall not be guilty of blood,
in ga krvni maščevalec najde zunaj meje mesta njegovega zatočišča in krvni maščevalec ubije ubijalca, ne bo kriv krvi,
28 because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the manslayer shall return into the land of his possession.
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 things shall be for a statute and ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Torej te stvari vam bodo za zakon sodbe skozi vaše rodove v vseh vaših prebivališčih.
30 "'Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person that he die.
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 "'Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death.
Poleg tega ne boste sprejeli nobene odkupnine za življenje morilca, ki je kriv smrti, temveč bo ta zagotovo usmrčen.
32 "'You shall take no ransom for him who is fled to his city of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the 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 you shall not pollute the land in which you are: for blood, it pollutes the land; and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it, but by the blood of him who shed 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 You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell: for I, the LORD, dwell in the midst of the children of Israel.'"
Ne omadežujte torej dežele, ki jo boste poselili, v kateri prebivam, kajti jaz, Gospod, prebivam med Izraelovimi otroki.‹«
