Numbers 35
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho, saying,
耶和华在摩押平原—约旦河边、耶利哥对面晓谕摩西说：
2 Command the children of Israel, that they give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give [also] to the Levites suburbs for the cities around them.
“你吩咐以色列人，要从所得为业的地中把些城给利未人居住，也要把这城四围的郊野给利未人。
3 And they shall have the cities to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
这城邑要归他们居住，城邑的郊野可以牧养他们的牛羊和各样的牲畜，又可以安置他们的财物。
4 And the suburbs of the cities which ye shall give to the Levites, [shall reach] from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits on all sides.
你们给利未人的郊野，要从城根起，四围往外量一千肘。
5 And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city [shall be] in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
另外东量二千肘，南量二千肘，西量二千肘，北量二千肘，为边界，城在当中；这要归他们作城邑的郊野。
6 And among the cities which ye shall give to the Levites [there shall be] six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the man-slayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.
你们给利未人的城邑，其中当有六座逃城，使误杀人的可以逃到那里。此外还要给他们四十二座城。
7 [So] all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites [shall be] forty and eight cities: them [shall ye give] with their suburbs.
你们要给利未人的城，共有四十八座，连城带郊野都要给他们。
8 And the cities which ye shall give [shall be] of the possession of the children of Israel: from [them that have] many ye shall give many; but from [them that have] few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities to the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
以色列人所得的地业从中要把些城邑给利未 人；人多的就多给，人少的就少给；各支派要按所承受为业之地把城邑给利未人。”
9 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说：
10 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye have passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
“你吩咐以色列人说：你们过约旦河，进了迦南地，
11 Then ye shall appoint for you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, who killeth any person at unawares.
就要分出几座城，为你们作逃城，使误杀人的可以逃到那里。
12 And they shall be to you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the man-slayer may not die, until he stands before the congregation in judgment.
这些城可以作逃避报仇人的城，使误杀人的不至于死，等他站在会众面前听审判。
13 And of these cities which ye shall give, six cities shall ye have for refuge.
你们所分出来的城，要作六座逃城。
14 Ye shall give three cities on this side of Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, [which] shall be cities of refuge.
在约旦河东要分出三座城，在迦南地也要分出三座城，都作逃城。
15 These six cities shall be a refuge, [both] for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
这六座城要给以色列人和他们中间的外人，并寄居的，作为逃城，使误杀人的都可以逃到那里。
16 And if he shall smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he shall die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
“倘若人用铁器打人，以致打死，他就是故杀人的；故杀人的必被治死。
17 And if he shall smite him by throwing a stone, by which he may die, and he shall die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
若用可以打死人的石头打死了人，他就是故杀人的；故杀人的必被治死。
18 Or [if] he shall smite him with a hand-weapon of wood, with which he may die, and he shall die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
若用可以打死人的木器打死了人，他就是故杀人的；故杀人的必被治死。
19 The avenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
报血仇的必亲自杀那故杀人的，一遇见就杀他。
20 But if he shall thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying in wait, that he die.
人若因怨恨把人推倒，或是埋伏往人身上扔物，以致于死，
21 Or in enmity shall smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote [him] shall surely be put to death; [for] he [is] a murderer: the avenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
或是因仇恨用手打人，以致于死，那打人的必被治死。他是故杀人的；报血仇的一遇见就杀他。
22 But if he shall thrust him suddenly without enmity, or shall have cast upon him any thing without laying in wait,
“倘若人没有仇恨，忽然将人推倒，或是没有埋伏把物扔在人身上，
23 Or with any stone, by which a man may die, seeing [him] not, and shall cast [it] upon him, that he die, and [was] not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
或是没有看见的时候用可以打死人的石头扔在人身上，以致于死，本来与他无仇，也无意害他。
24 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the avenger of blood according to these judgments:
会众就要照典章，在打死人的和报血仇的中间审判。
25 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he had fled: and he shall abide in it to the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
会众要救这误杀人的脱离报血仇人的手，也要使他归入逃城。他要住在其中，直等到受圣膏的大祭司死了。
26 But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he had fled;
但误杀人的，无论什么时候，若出了逃城的境外，
27 And the avenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood shall kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
报血仇的在逃城境外遇见他，将他杀了，报血仇的就没有流血之罪。
28 Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
因为误杀人的该住在逃城里，等到大祭司死了。大祭司死了以后，误杀人的才可以回到他所得为业之地。
29 So these [things] shall be for a statute of judgment to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
这在你们一切的住处，要作你们世世代代的律例典章。
30 Whoever killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person [to cause him] to die.
“无论谁故杀人，要凭几个见证人的口把那故杀人的杀了，只是不可凭一个见证的口叫人死。
31 Moreover, ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, who [is] guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
故杀人、犯死罪的，你们不可收赎价代替他的命；他必被治死。
32 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that hath fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
那逃到逃城的人，你们不可为他收赎价，使他在大祭司未死以先再来住在本地。
33 So ye shall not pollute the land in which ye [are]: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed in it, but by the blood of him that shed it.
这样，你们就不污秽所住之地，因为血是污秽地的；若有在地上流人血的，非流那杀人者的血，那地就不得洁净。
34 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, in which I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
你们不可玷污所住之地，就是我住在其中之地，因为我—耶和华住在以色列人中间。”
