1 and to speak: speak LORD to(wards) Joshua to/for to say

Gospod je spregovoril tudi Józuetu, rekoč:

2 to speak: speak to(wards) son: descendant/people Israel to/for to say to give: put to/for you [obj] city [the] refuge which to speak: speak to(wards) you in/on/with hand: by Moses

»Govori Izraelovim otrokom, rekoč: ›Izločite si zavetna mesta, o katerih sem ti govoril po Mojzesovi roki,

3 to/for to flee there [to] to murder to smite soul: person in/on/with unintentionally in/on/with without knowledge and to be to/for you to/for refuge from to redeem: avenge [the] blood

da ubijalec, ki nenamerno in nevede ubije katerokoli osebo, lahko pobegne tja in ta bodo vaše zatočišče pred krvnim maščevalcem.

4 and to flee to(wards) one from [the] city [the] these and to stand: stand entrance gate [the] city and to speak: speak in/on/with ear: to ears (old: elder [the] city *LA(bh)*) [the] he/she/it [obj] word: case his and to gather [obj] him [the] city [to] to(wards) them and to give: give to/for him place and to dwell with them

Ko bo tisti, ki pobegne v eno izmed teh mest, stal pri vhodu velikih vrat mesta in bo svojo zadevo oznanil v ušesa starešin tega mesta, ga bodo vzeli k sebi v mesto in mu dali prostor, da bo lahko prebival med njimi.

5 and for to pursue to redeem: avenge [the] blood after him and not to shut [obj] [the] to murder in/on/with hand: power his for in/on/with without knowledge to smite [obj] neighbor his and not to hate he/she/it to/for him from yesterday three days ago

Če ga krvni maščevalec zasleduje, potem ubijalca ne bodo izročili v njegovo roko, ker je nevede udaril svojega bližnjega in ga predtem ni sovražil.

6 and to dwell in/on/with city [the] he/she/it till to stand: stand he to/for face: before [the] congregation to/for justice: judgement till death [the] priest [the] great: large which to be in/on/with day [the] they(masc.) then to return: return [the] to murder and to come (in): come to(wards) city his and to(wards) house: home his to(wards) [the] city which to flee from there

Prebival bo v tem mestu, dokler ne bo stal pred skupnostjo za sodbo in do smrti vélikega duhovnika, ki bo v tistih dneh. Potem se bo ubijalec vrnil in prišel v svoje lastno mesto in v svojo lastno hišo v mesto, iz katerega je pobegnil.‹«

Na drugi strani Jordana, pri Jerihi, proti vzhodu, so v divjini, na ravnini, določili Becer od Rubenovega rodu in Ramót v Gileádu od Gadovega rodu in Golán v Bašánu od Manásejevega rodu.

9 these to be city [the] designated to/for all son: descendant/people Israel and to/for sojourner [the] to sojourn in/on/with midst their to/for to flee there [to] all to smite soul: person in/on/with unintentionally and not to die in/on/with hand to redeem: avenge [the] blood till to stand: stand he to/for face: before [the] congregation
