Joshua 20
1 And he spoke Yahweh to Joshua saying.
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्नुभयो,
2 Speak to [the] people of Israel saying assign for yourselves [the] cities of refuge which I spoke to you by [the] hand of Moses.
“इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई यसो भन्, 'मैले मोशाद्वारा तिमीहरूलाई भनेजस्तै शरण-नगरहरू चुन ।
3 To flee there towards a killer [who] strikes down a person by inadvertence with not knowledge and they will become for you a refuge from [the] avenger of blood.
यसो गर ताकि जसले मानिसलाई अनजानमा मार्छ त्यो व्यक्ति त्यहाँ जान सक्छ । यी सहरहरू मारिएको व्यक्तिको रगतको बदला लिन खोज्नेबाट शरण-स्थान हुने छ ।
4 And he will flee to one - of the cities these and he will stand [the] entrance of [the] gate of the city and he will speak in [the] ears of ([the] elders of the city *LA(bh)*) that words his and they will gather him the city towards to themselves and they will give to him a place and he will dwell with them.
त्यो ती सहरहरूमध्ये एउटामा भागेर जाने छ, सहरको प्रवेशद्वारमा खडा हुने छ र त्यस सहरका धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई त्यसका सबै कुरा बताउने छ । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई सहरभित्र लाने छन् र त्यसलाई तिनीहरूमाझ बस्नलाई ठाउँ दिने छन् ।
5 And if he will pursue [the] avenger of blood after him and not they will deliver up the killer in hand his for with not knowledge he struck neighbor his and not [was] hating he him from yesterday [the] third day.
यदि कोही मारिएको व्यक्तिको बदला लिन आउँछ भने, त्यस सहरका मानिसहरूले मार्ने व्यक्तिलाई अधिकारीहरूको हातमा सुम्पनुहुँदैन । तिनीहरूले यसो गर्नुहुँदैन, किनभने त्यसले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई अनजानमा मार्यो, र विगतमा तिनको उनीसँग कुनै दुश्मनी थिएन ।
6 And he will dwell - in the city that until stands he before the congregation for judgment until [the] death of the priest great who he will be in the days those then - he will return the killer and he will go to own city his and to own house his to the city where he fled from there.
सहरमा न्यायको सभाको सामु खडा नभएसम्म ती दिनमा प्रधान पुजारीको सेवा गरिरहेका व्यक्तिको मृत्यु नभएसम्म त्यो व्यक्ति त्यस सहरमा रहनुपर्छ । त्यसपछि दुर्घटनावश मानिसलाई मार्ने व्यक्ति आफ्नो घर र आफ्नो सहरमा फर्कन सक्छ, जहाँबाट त्यो भागेको थियो' ।”
7 And they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in [the] hill country of Naphtali and Shechem in [the] hill country of Ephraim and Kiriath Arba that [is] Hebron in [the] hill country of Judah.
त्यसैले इस्राएलीहरूले नप्तलीको पहाडी देशमा गालीलको केदेश, एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशमा शकेम, र यहूदाको पहाडी देशमा किर्यत-अर्बा (जुन हेब्रोन हो) छाने ।
8 And from [the] other side of [the] Jordan of Jericho east-ward they assigned Bezer in the wilderness in the plain from [the] tribe of Reuben and Ramoth in Gilead from [the] tribe of Gad and (Golan *Q(K)*) in Bashan from [the] tribe of Manasseh.
यर्दनको पूर्वपट्टि, तिनीहरूले रूबेनको कुलबाट उच्च-स्थानमाथिको मरुभूमिमा बेसेर; गादको कुलबाट रामो गिलाद; र मनश्शेको कुलबाट बाशाको गोलान चुने ।
9 These they were [the] cities of appointing for all - [the] people of Israel and for the sojourner who sojourns in midst of them to flee there towards any [one who] strikes down a person by inadvertence and not he will die by [the] hand of [the] avenger of blood until stands he before the congregation.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरू र तिनीहरूमाझ बसोबास गरेका परदेशीहरूका निम्ति चुनेका सहरहरू यिनै हुन्, ताकि अनजानमा मानिसलाई मार्ने व्यक्ति सुरक्षाको निम्ति त्यहाँ भागोस् । यो व्यक्ति सभाको सामु पहिले न्यायको निम्ति खडा नभई त्यो व्यक्ति बगाइएको रगतको बदला लिन चाहनेको हातबाट नमरोस् ।
