Numbers 35
1 Yahweh told this to Moses/me [while the Israeli people were] on the plain in the Moab region near the Jordan [River], across from Jericho:
E falou o SENHOR a Moisés nos campos de Moabe, junto ao Jordão de Jericó, dizendo:
2 “Tell the Israeli people that from the land that they will receive, they must give to the descendants of Levi some cities in which they can live. They must also give them some land around these cities.
Manda aos filhos de Israel, que deem aos levitas da possessão de sua herança cidades em que habitem: Também dareis aos levitas campos de essas cidades ao redor delas.
3 Those will be for the descendants of Levi to live in, and around the cities will be land for their cattle and flocks of sheep and goats and other animals.
E terão eles as cidades para habitar, e os campos delas serão para seus animais, e para seus gados, e para todos seus animais.
4 “The land that you give them for their animals must extend out for (1,500 feet/450 meters) from the walls of the cities.
E os campos das cidades que dareis aos levitas, serão mil côvados ao redor, desde o muro da cidade para fora.
5 Also measure (3,000 feet/900 meters) in each direction out from the walls of each city. That additional land will be land for their animals outside the walls of the cities.”
Logo medireis fora da cidade à parte do oriente dois mil côvados, e à parte do sul dois mil côvados, e à parte do ocidente dois mil côvados, e à parte do norte dois mil côvados, e a cidade em meio: isto terão pelos campos das cidades.
6 “Six of the cities that you give to the descendants of Levi will be cities to which people [can run] to be safe. If someone [accidentally] kills someone else, the one who killed that person may run to one of those cities to be safe.
E das cidades que dareis aos levitas, seis cidades serão de refúgio, as quais dareis para que o homicida se acolha ali: e também destas dareis quarenta e duas cidades.
7 You must also give to the descendants of Levi 42 other cities and the land around those cities, for their animals,
Todas as cidades que dareis aos levitas serão quarenta e oito cidades; elas com seus campos.
8 The Israeli tribes that have the most people must give them more cities than the tribes that have fewer people give. Each tribe must give some of its cities to the descendants of Levi, but the tribes that have more land must give more cities, and the tribes that have less land will give fewer cities.”
E as cidades que deres da herança dos filhos de Israel, do que muito tomareis muito, e do que pouco tomareis pouco: cada um dará de suas cidades aos levitas segundo a possessão que herdará.
9 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
E falou o SENHOR a Moisés, dizendo:
10 “Tell this to the Israeli people: When you cross the Jordan [River] and enter the Canaan [region],
Fala aos filhos de Israel, e dize-lhes: Quando houverdes passado o Jordão à terra de Canaã,
11 you must choose some cities to which people can run to be safe/protected. If someone kills another person (accidentally/without planning to do that), the one who killed that person may run to one of those cities and be safe.
Assinalareis para vós cidades, tereis cidades de refúgio, para onde fuja o homicida que ferir a algum de morte por acidente.
12 One of the relatives of the person who was killed may think he must avenge his relative’s death [by killing the murderer]. But in that city, the killer will be safe [because the people in that city would kill those relatives if they tried to get revenge there]. The man who killed someone accidentally [must] be put on trial in a court.
E vos serão aquelas cidades por refúgio do parente, e não morrerá o homicida até que esteja a juízo diante da congregação.
13 You must set apart six cities to be cities to which someone who killed another person accidentally may run and be safe.
Das cidades, pois, que dareis, tereis seis cidades de refúgio.
14 There must be three of those cities on the east side of the Jordan [River] and three that will be [on the west side], in the Canaan region.
Três cidades dareis desta parte do Jordão, e três cidades dareis na terra de Canaã; as quais serão cidades de refúgio.
15 Those six cities will be cities where Israeli people may run to and be safe, and where foreigners and other people who are living among you can also run to and be safe. Any of those people who accidentally kills someone may run to one of those cities [and be safe/protected there].
Estas seis cidades serão para refúgio aos filhos de Israel, e ao peregrino, e ao que morar entre eles, para que fuja ali qualquer um que ferir de morte a outro por acidente.
16 “But [you must consider that] anyone who kills another person with an iron weapon or with a big rock or with a piece of wood, is a murderer, and the one who killed the other person must be executed.
E se com instrumento de ferro o ferir e morrer, homicida é; o homicida morrerá:
E se com pedra da mão, de que podia morrer, o ferir, e morrer, homicida é; o homicida morrerá.
E se com instrumento de madeira da mão, de que podia morrer, o ferir, e morrer, homicida é; o homicida morrerá.
19 A relative of the person who was murdered must be the one who executes the murderer as soon as he finds him.
O parente do morto, ele matará ao homicida: quando o encontrar, ele lhe matará.
20 If someone shoves another person [over a cliff] or throws something at another person
E se por ódio o empurrou, ou lançou sobre ele alguma coisa por ciladas, e morre;
21 or hits that person with his hand/fist and causes that person to die, if he did it because he hated that person, then you must consider that he is a murderer, and must be executed. A relative of the person who was killed must be the one who executes the murderer as soon as he finds him.
Ou por inimizade o feriu com sua mão, e morreu: o feridor morrerá; é homicida; o parente do morto matará ao homicida, quando o encontrar.
22 “But someone might accidentally shove someone else, or accidentally throw something at another person and hit him, not because he hates that person.
Mas se casualmente o empurrou sem inimizades, ou lançou sobre ele qualquer instrumento sem más intenções,
23 Or he might drop a rock on someone that he did not see. If the one who does that does not plan to hurt anyone and does not hate the person that was killed,
Ou bem, sem vê-lo, fez cair sobre ele alguma pedra, de que possa morrer, e morrer, e ele não era seu inimigo, nem procurava seu mal;
24 the people of that city must decide whether the relative of the dead person [has the right to get revenge], or whether the one who killed the other person [truly did it (accidentally/without planning to do it)].
Então a congregação julgará entre o feridor e o parente do morto conforme estas leis:
25 [If they decide that the killer planned to kill the other person, they must not allow him to stay in their city. But if they decide that it was done accidentally], they must protect the killer from being killed by the dead person’s relative. They must send the killer to one of the cities where he will be safe/protected, and allow him to stay there until the Supreme Priest dies. [After that, the killer may go back to his home, because the dead person’s relative no longer has the right to get revenge].
E a congregação livrará ao homicida da mão do parente do morto, e a congregação o fará voltar à seu cidade de refúgio, à qual se havia acolhido; e morará nela até que morra o sumo sacerdote, o qual foi ungido com o azeite santo.
26 “But [while the Supreme Priest is still living], the person who is in that safe city must not leave that city.
E se o homicida sair fora do termo de sua cidade de refúgio, à qual se refugiou,
27 If he goes outside the city, and if a relative of the dead person finds him, that relative is permitted to kill that person, [and people will not consider that the relative is guilty of murder.]
E o parente do morto lhe achar fora do termo da cidade de sua acolhida, e o parente do morto ao homicida matar, não se lhe culpará por isso:
28 The killer must stay in that city where he will be safe/protected until the Supreme Priest dies. [He will be safe from revenge after that, because the death of the Supreme Priest will be considered to be a sacrifice to atone for that murder]. After that, the killer may return to his home.
Pois em sua cidade de refúgio deverá aquele habitar até que morra o sumo sacerdote: e depois que morrer o sumo sacerdote, o homicida voltará à terra de sua possessão.
29 “You must always obey those regulations, wherever you live.
E estas coisas vos serão por ordenança de regulamento por vossas gerações, em todas as vossas habitações.
30 “If someone [is accused of] killing another person, the one who is accused may be executed only if there are people who saw him do it. There must be more than one witness; no one is permitted to be executed if there was only one (witness/person who saw him do it).
Qualquer um que ferir a alguém, por dito de testemunhas, morrerá o homicida: mas uma só testemunha não fará fé contra alguma pessoa para que morra.
31 “If there is a murderer who truly should be executed, do not [spare his life by] accepting (a ransom/money for him not to be killed). He must be executed.
E não tomareis preço pela vida do homicida; porque está condenado a morte: mas inevitavelmente morrerá.
32 “If someone has run to a city where he will be safe/protected, do not allow him to give you money in order that you will permit him to return to his home before the Supreme Priest dies.
Nem tampouco tomareis preço do que fugiu à sua cidade de refúgio, para que volte a viver em sua terra, até que morra o sacerdote.
33 “You must execute people who truly murder others. If you did not do that, you would be causing the people who live in the land to become unacceptable to me. Anyone who deliberately kills an innocent person must be executed.
E não contaminareis a terra onde estiverdes: porque este sangue profanará a terra: e a terra não será expiada do sangue que foi derramado nela, a não ser pelo sangue do que a derramou.
34 I am Yahweh, and I live among you Israelis, so do not spoil/pollute the land by allowing people to murder others without being punished.”
Não contamineis, pois, a terra onde habitais, em meio da qual eu habito; porque eu o SENHOR habito em meio dos filhos de Israel.
