< यहोशू 20 >

1 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्‍नुभयो,
And he spoke Yahweh to Joshua saying.
2 “इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई यसो भन्, 'मैले मोशाद्वारा तिमीहरूलाई भनेजस्तै शरण-नगरहरू चुन ।
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 यसो गर ताकि जसले मानिसलाई अनजानमा मार्छ त्यो व्यक्‍ति त्यहाँ जान सक्छ । यी सहरहरू मारिएको व्य‍क्‍तिको रगतको बदला लिन खोज्‍नेबाट शरण-स्थान हुने छ ।
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 त्यो ती सहरहरूमध्ये एउटामा भागेर जाने छ, सहरको प्रवेशद्वारमा खडा हुने छ र त्यस सहरका धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई त्यसका सबै कुरा बताउने छ । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई सहरभित्र लाने छन् र त्यसलाई तिनीहरूमाझ बस्‍नलाई ठाउँ दिने छन् ।
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 यदि कोही मारिएको व्यक्‍तिको बदला लिन आउँछ भने, त्यस सहरका मानिसहरूले मार्ने व्यक्‍तिलाई अधिकारीहरूको हातमा सुम्‍पनुहुँदैन । तिनीहरूले यसो गर्नुहुँदैन, किनभने त्यसले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई अनजानमा मार्‍यो, र विगतमा तिनको उनीसँग कुनै दुश्मनी थिएन ।
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 सहरमा न्यायको सभाको सामु खडा नभएसम्म ती दिनमा प्रधान पुजारीको सेवा गरिरहेका व्यक्‍तिको मृत्यु नभएसम्म त्यो व्यक्ति त्यस सहरमा रहनुपर्छ । त्यसपछि दुर्घटनावश मानिसलाई मार्ने व्यक्‍ति आफ्नो घर र आफ्नो सहरमा फर्कन सक्छ, जहाँबाट त्यो भागेको थियो' ।”
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 त्यसैले इस्राएलीहरूले नप्‍तलीको पहाडी देशमा गालीलको केदेश, एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशमा शकेम, र यहूदाको पहाडी देशमा किर्यत-अर्बा (जुन हेब्रोन हो) छाने ।
And they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in [the] hill country of Naphtali and Shechem in [the] hill country of Ephraim and Kiriath Arba that [is] Hebron in [the] hill country of Judah.
8 यर्दनको पूर्वपट्टि, तिनीहरूले रूबेनको कुलबाट उच्‍च-स्थानमाथिको मरुभूमिमा बेसेर; गादको कुलबाट रामो गिलाद; र मनश्शेको कुलबाट बाशाको गोलान चुने ।
And from [the] other side of [the] Jordan of Jericho east-ward they assigned Bezer in the wilderness in the plain from [the] tribe of Reuben and Ramoth in Gilead from [the] tribe of Gad and (Golan *Q(K)*) in Bashan from [the] tribe of Manasseh.
9 इस्राएलका मानिसहरू र तिनीहरूमाझ बसोबास गरेका परदेशीहरूका निम्ति चुनेका सहरहरू यिनै हुन्, ताकि अनजानमा मानिसलाई मार्ने व्यक्‍ति सुरक्षाको निम्ति त्यहाँ भागोस् । यो व्यक्‍ति सभाको सामु पहिले न्यायको निम्ति खडा नभई त्यो व्यक्‍ति बगाइएको रगतको बदला लिन चाहनेको हातबाट नमरोस् ।
These they were [the] cities of appointing for all - [the] people of Israel and for the sojourner who sojourns in midst of them to flee there towards any [one who] strikes down a person by inadvertence and not he will die by [the] hand of [the] avenger of blood until stands he before the congregation.
