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:
Још рече Господ Мојсију у пољу моавском на Јордану према Јерихону говорећи:
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.
Заповеди синовима Израиљевим нека даду од наследства свог Левитима градове, где ће живети; и подграђа око градова подајте им,
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.
Да у градовима живе, а у подграђима њиховим да им стоји стока и имање њихово и све животиње њихове.
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.
А подграђа која дате Левитима нека буду на хиљаду лаката далеко од зидова градских унаоколо.
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.”
Зато измерите иза сваког града на исток две хиљаде лаката, и на југ две хиљаде лаката, и на запад две хиљаде лаката, и на север две хиљаде лаката, тако да град буде у среди. Толика нека буду подграђа њихова.
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.
А од градова које дате Левитима одвојте шест градова за уточиште, да онамо утече ко би кога убио; и осим њих подајте им четрдесет и два града.
7 You must also give to the descendants of Levi 42 other cities and the land around those cities, for their animals,
Свега градова, које ћете дати Левитима да буде четрдесет и осам градова, сваки са својим подграђем.
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.”
А тих градова што ћете дати од наследства синова Израиљевих, од оних који имају више подајте више, а од оних који имају мање подајте мање; сваки према наследству које ће имати нека да од својих градова Левитима.
9 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Још рече Господ Мојсију говорећи:
10 “Tell this to the Israeli people: When you cross the Jordan [River] and enter the Canaan [region],
Реци синовима Израиљевим и кажи им: Кад пређете преко Јордана у земљу хананску,
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.
Од градова који вам допадну одвојте градове за уточиште да у њих утече крвник који убије кога нехотице.
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.
И ти ће вам градови бити уточишта од осветника, да не погине крвник докле не стане на суд пред збор.
13 You must set apart six cities to be cities to which someone who killed another person accidentally may run and be safe.
И тако од тих градова које дате шест градова биће вам уточишта.
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.
Три таква града подајте с ове стране Јордана, а три града подајте у земљи хананској, ти градови нека буду уточишта.
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].
Синовима Израиљевим и дошљаку и странцу, који се бави међу њима, нека тих шест градова буду уточишта, да утече у њих ко год убије кога нехотице.
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.
Али ако гвожђем удари кога, те онај умре, крвник је, нека се погуби такав крвник.
И ако каменом из руке, од ког може човек погинути, удари кога, те онај умре, крвник је, нека се погуби такав крвник.
Или ако дрветом из руке, од ког може човек погинути, удари кога, те онај умре, крвник је, нека се погуби такав крвник.
19 A relative of the person who was murdered must be the one who executes the murderer as soon as he finds him.
Осветник нека погуби крвника; кад га удеси, нека га погуби.
20 If someone shoves another person [over a cliff] or throws something at another person
Ако га из мржње тури, или се баци чим на њ навалице, те онај умре,
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.
Или ако га из непријатељства удари руком, те онај умре, нека се погуби такав убица, крвник је; осветник нека погуби тог крвника кад га удеси.
22 “But someone might accidentally shove someone else, or accidentally throw something at another person and hit him, not because he hates that person.
Ако ли га нехотице тури без непријатељства, или се баци на њ чим нехотице,
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,
Или каменом од ког може човек погинути, ако се баци на њ нехотице, те онај умре, а није му непријатељ, нити му тражи зла,
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)].
Тада да суди збор између убице и осветника по овом закону.
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].
И збор нека избави крвника из руке осветникове и врати га у уточиште његово, куда је утекао, и онде нека остане докле не умре поглавар свештенички, који је помазан светим уљем.
26 “But [while the Supreme Priest is still living], the person who is in that safe city must not leave that city.
Ако крвник како год изиђе преко међе свог уточишта у које је утекао,
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.]
И нађе га осветник преко међе уточишта његовог, ако крвника убије осветник, неће бити крив за крв.
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.
Јер у уточишту свом ваља да стоји докле не умре поглавар свештенички; па кад умре поглавар свештенички, онда треба да се врати крвник у земљу наследства свог.
29 “You must always obey those regulations, wherever you live.
Ово да вам је уредба за суђење од колена до колена по свим становима вашим.
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).
Ко би хтео погубити човека, по сведоцима нека погуби крвника; али један сведок не може сведочити да се ко погуби.
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.
Не узимајте откуп за крвника, који заслужи смрт, него нека се погуби.
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.
Ни од оног не узимајте откуп који утече у уточиште, да би се вратио да живи у својој земљи пре него умре свештеник;
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.
Да не бисте скврнили земљу у којој сте, јер крв она скврни земљу, а земља се не може очистити од крви која се пролије на њој другачије него крвљу оног који је пролије.
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.”
Зато не скврните земље у којој наставате и у којој ја наставам, јер ја Господ наставам усред синова Израиљевих.
