Joshua 20
1 And the Lord spak to Josue, and seide, Spek thou to the sones of Israel, and seie thou to hem,
Jahve reče Jošui:
2 Departe ye the citees of fugytyues, `ether of men exilid for vnwilful schedyng of blood, of whiche citees Y spak to you bi the hond of Moises,
“Kaži sinovima Izraelovim i reci im: 'Odredite sebi gradove-utočišta za koje sam vam govorio preko Mojsija,
3 that whoeuer sleeth vnwytyngli a man, fle to tho citees;
da bi onamo mogao pobjeći ubojica koji nehotice ubije koga i da vam budu utočišta od krvnoga osvetnika.
4 that whanne he hath fled to oon of these citees, he may ascape the ire of the neiybore, which is veniere of blood. And he schal stonde bifor the yatis of the citee, and he schal speke to the eldre men of that citee tho thingis that schulen preue hym innocent; and so thei schulen reseyue hym, and schulen yyue to hym place to dwelle.
Ako ubojica utekne u koji od tih gradova, neka stane pred gradska vrata i neka starješinama toga grada iznese svoju stvar. Oni neka ga prime u svoj grad i odrede mu mjesto gdje će prebivati među njima.
5 And whanne the vengere of blood pursueth hym, thei schulen not bitake hym in to the hondis of the vengere; for vnwityngli he killide his neiybore, and is not preued his enemy bifor the secounde dai ethir the thridde dai.
Ako ga krvni osvetnik progoni, ne smiju izručiti ubojicu u njegove ruke: tÓa nehotice je ubio svoga bližnjega, a ne iz mržnje.
6 And he schal dwelle in that citee, til he stonde bifor the doom, and yelde cause of his dede. And he that killide a man, dwelle `in that citee, til the grete preest die, which is in that tyme; thanne the mansleere schal turne ayen, and he schal entre in to his citee and hows, `fro which he fledde.
Ubojica neka ostane u tom gradu sve dok ne stupi pred sud zajednice ili do smrti velikoga svećenika koji bude u ono vrijeme. Tada neka se ubojica vrati i neka ode u svoj grad i svome domu - u grad iz kojega je utekao.'”
7 And thei ordeyneden Cedes in Galilee, of the hil of Neptalym, and Sichem in the hil of Effraym, and Cariatharbe, thilke is Ebron, in the hil of Juda.
I posvete Kedeš u Galileji, u Naftalijevoj gori; Šekem u Efrajimovoj gori; Kirjat-Arbu, to jest Hebron, u Judinoj gori.
8 And biyende Jordan, ayens the eest coost of Jerico, thei ordeyneden Bosor, which is set in the feeldi wildirnesse of the lynage of Ruben, and Ramoth in Galaad, of the lynage of Gad, and Gaulon in Basan, of the lynage of Manasses.
S druge strane Jordana, istočno od Jerihona, odrede Beser u pustinji, u ravnici plemena Rubenova, i Ramot u Gileadu od plemena Gadova, i Golan u Bašanu od plemena Manašeova.
9 These citees weren ordeyned to alle the sones of Israel, and to comelyngis that dwellen among hem, that he that killide vnwityngli a man, schulde fle to tho citees; and he schulde not die in the hond of neiybore, coueitynge to venge the blood sched out, til he stood bifor the puple, to declare his cause.
To su bili gradovi određeni svim Izraelcima i došljacima koji borave među njima: ovamo je mogao uteći svaki koji nehotice drugoga ubije, a da sam ne pogine od osvetničke ruke dok ne izađe na sud, pred zajednicu.
