1 Et locutus est Dominus ad Iosue, dicens: Loquere filiis Israel, et dic eis:

And he spoke Yahweh to Joshua saying.

2 Separate urbes fugitivorum, de quibus locutus sum ad vos per manum Moysi;

Speak to [the] people of Israel saying assign for yourselves [the] cities of refuge which I spoke to you by [the] hand of Moses.

3 ut confugiat ad eas quicumque animam percusserit nescius: et possit evadere iram proximi, qui ultor est sanguinis:

To flee there towards a killer [who] strikes down a person by inadvertence with not knowledge and they will become for you a refuge from [the] avenger of blood.

4 cum ad unam harum confugerit civitatum, stabit ante portam civitatis, et loquetur senioribus urbis illius ea, quae se comprobent innocentem: sicque suscipient eum, et dabunt ei locum ad habitandum.

And he will flee to one - of the cities these and he will stand [the] entrance of [the] gate of the city and he will speak in [the] ears of ([the] elders of the city *LA(bh)*) that words his and they will gather him the city towards to themselves and they will give to him a place and he will dwell with them.

5 Cumque ultor sanguinis eum fuerit persecutus, non tradent in manus eius: quia ignorans percussit proximum eius, nec ante biduum, triduumve eius probatur inimicus.

And if he will pursue [the] avenger of blood after him and not they will deliver up the killer in hand his for with not knowledge he struck neighbor his and not [was] hating he him from yesterday [the] third day.

6 Et habitabit in civitate illa, donec stet ante iudicium causam reddens facti sui, et moriatur sacerdos magnus, qui fuerit in illo tempore: tunc revertetur homicida, et ingredietur civitatem et domum suam de qua fugerat.

And he will dwell - in the city that until stands he before the congregation for judgment until [the] death of the priest great who he will be in the days those then - he will return the killer and he will go to own city his and to own house his to the city where he fled from there.

7 Decreveruntque Cedes in Galilaea montis Nephthali, et Sichem in monte Ephraim, et Cariatharbe, ipsa est Hebron in monte Iuda.

8 Et trans Iordanem contra Orientalem plagam Iericho, statuerunt Bosor, quae sita est in campestri solitudine de tribu Ruben, et Ramoth in Galaad de tribu Gad, et Gaulon in Basan de tribu Manasse.

9 Hae civitates constitutae sunt cunctis filiis Israel, et advenis, qui habitabant inter eos: ut fugeret ad eas qui animam nescius percussisset, et non moreretur in manu proximi, effusum sanguinem vindicare cupientis, donec staret ante populum expositurus causam suam.
