Numbers 35
1 Jehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose paa Moabiternes slette Marker, ved Jordanen over for Jeriko, og sagde:
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.
Byd Israels Børn, at de give Leviterne af deres Ejendoms Arv Stæder at bo udi; dertil skulle I give Leviterne Mark til Stæderne trindt omkring dem.
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.
Og de skulle have Stæderne til at bo udi, og deres Marker skulle være for deres Kvæg og for deres Gods og for alle deres Dyr.
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.
Og Stædernes Marker, som I skulle give Leviterne, skulle være fra Stadsmuren og udefter tusinde Alen trindt omkring.
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.
Saa skulle I maale uden for Staden, den østre Side to Tusinde Alen, og den søndre Side to Tusinde Alen, og den vestre Side to Tusinde Alen, og den nordre Side to Tusinde Alen, og Staden skal være i Midten; dette skal være dem Stædernes Marker.
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.
Og af Stæderne, som I skulle give Leviterne, skulle seks være Tilflugtsstæder, som I skulle give, at en Manddraber kan fly derhen; og foruden dem skulle I give dem to og fyrretyve Stæder.
7 All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities together with their suburbs.
Alle Stæderne, som I skulle give Leviterne, skulle være otte og fyrretyve Stæder, de og deres Marker.
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."
Og hvad de Stæder angaar, som I skulle give af Israels Børns Ejendom, da skulle I tage flere fra den, som har mange, og tage færre fra den, som har faa; hver efter sin Arvs Beskaffenhed, som de skulle arve, skal give Leviterne af sine Stæder.
9 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
10 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
Tal til Israels Børn, og du skal sige til dem: Naar I komme over Jordanen ind i Kanaans Land,
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.
da skulle I udvælge eder Stæder, som skulle være Tilflugtsstæder for eder, at en Manddraber, som slaar en Person ihjel af en Forseelse, kan fly derhen.
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.
Og de skulle være eder Stæder til en Tilflugt for Blodhævneren, at Manddraberen ikke skal dø, førend han har staaet for Menighedens Ansigt, for Dommen.
13 The cities which you shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge.
Og de Stæder, som I skulle afgive, skulle være seks Tilflugtsstæder for eder.
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.
De tre Stæder skulle I give paa denne Side Jordanen, og de tre Stæder skulle I give i Kanaans Land; de skulle være Tilflugtsstæder.
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.
For Israels Børn og for den fremmede og for den, som er Gæst midt iblandt dem, skulle disse seks Stæder være til en Tilflugt, at hver den, som slaar en Person ihjel af en Forseelse, kan fly derhen.
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.
Men dersom en slaar en anden med et Stykke Jern, saa han dør, han er en Manddraber; den Manddraber skal dødes.
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.
Og dersom han slaar ham med en Sten i Haand, hvormed nogen kan dræbes, og han dør, da er han en Manddraber; den Manddraber skal dødes.
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.
Eller han slaar ham med et Stykke Træ i Haand, hvormed nogen kan dræbes, og han dør, da er han en Manddraber; den Manddraber skal dødes.
19 The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death: when he meets him, he shall put him to death.
Blodhævneren, han maa dræbe Manddraberen; naar han møder ham, maa han dræbe ham.
20 If he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died,
Og dersom en af Had giver en anden et Stød, eller kaster noget paa ham med frit Forsæt, saa at han dør,
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.
eller han slaar ham af Fjendskab med sin Haand, saa at han dør, da skal den, som slog, dødes, han er en Manddraber; Blodhævneren maa dræbe Manddraberen, naar han møder ham.
22 "'But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled on him anything without lying in wait,
Men dersom han giver ham et Stød i en Hast, uden Fjendskab, eller kaster nogen Ting paa ham uden frit Forsæt,
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;
eller det sker med en Sten, hvormed man kan dræbes, og han ikke saa ham, da han lod den falde paa ham, saa han døde, og han var ikke hans Fjende og søgte ikke hans Ulykke:
24 then the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances;
Da skulle de i Menigheden dømme imellem den, som slog, og imellem Blodhævneren efter disse Love.
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.
Og de i Menigheden skulle udfri Manddraberen af Blodhævnerens Haand, og de i Menigheden skulle lade ham komme tilbage til hans Tilflugtsstad, som han flyede til; og han skal blive der, indtil Ypperstepræsten, som man har salvet med den hellige Olie, dør.
26 "'But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, where he flees,
Men om Manddraberen gaar uden for den Tilflugtsstads Markeskel, som han flyede til,
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,
og Blodhævneren finder ham uden for hans Tilflugtsstads Markeskel, og Blodhævneren slaar Manddraberen ihjel, da har hin ingen Blodskyld.
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.
Thi han skulde være bleven i sin Tilflugtsstad, indtil Ypperstepræsten døde; men efter Ypperstepræstens Død maa Manddraberen vende tilbage til sit Ejendoms Land.
29 "'These things shall be for a statute and ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Og dette skal være eder en beskikket Ret hos eders Efterkommere i alle eders Boliger.
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.
Naar nogen ihjelslaar en Person, da skal man efter Vidners Mund slaa denne Manddraber ihjel; men eet Vidne skal ikke vidne imod en Person i Livssag.
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.
Og I skulle ikke tage Sonepenge for en Manddrabers Person, naar han er skyldig til at dø; thi han skal dødes.
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.
Og I skulle ingen Sonepenge tage for at lade nogen fly til sin Tilflugtsstad eller at lade nogen komme tilbage at bo i Landet, førend Præsten dør.
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.
Og I skulle ikke besmitte Landet, som I bo udi; thi Blodet besmitter Landet; og for Landet kan ikke ske Forsoning for det Blod, som udøses deri, uden ved hans Blod, som udøste det.
34 You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell: for I, Jehovah, dwell in the midst of the children of Israel.'"
Og du skal ikke gøre Landet urent, hvilket I bo udi, hvilket jeg bor midt udi; thi jeg Herren bor midt iblandt Israels Børn.
