Isus Navin 20

1 Potom reèe Gospod Isusu govoreæi:

And Yahweh spake unto Joshua, saying:

2 Kaži sinovima Izrailjevijem i reci: Odredite gradove za utoèišta, za koje sam vam govorio preko Mojsija,

Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, —Set out for you the cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you, by the hand of Moses:

3 Da onamo uteèe krvnik koji ubije koga nehotice, ne misleæi, da vam budu utoèišta od osvetnika.

that the manslayer who slayeth a person by mistake, unwittingly, may flee thither, —so shall they be unto you for refuge from the blood-redeemer,

4 Pa kad ko uteèe u koji od tijeh gradova, neka stane pred vratima gradskim i neka kaže starješinama onoga grada stvar svoju, pa neka ga prime k sebi, i dadu mu mjesto da sjedi kod njih.

and he shall flee unto one of these cities and present himself at the entrance of the gate of the city, and shall speak, in the ears of the elders of that city, his defence, —and they shall take him for protection into the city unto them, and shall give him a place, so shall he dwell with them.

5 I ako doðe za njim osvetnik, neka mu ne dadu krvnika u ruke, jer je nehotice ubio bližnjega niti je prije mrzio na nj.

And, when the blood-redeemer pursueth after him, then shall they not deliver up the manslayer, into his hand, —because, unwittingly, it was that he slew his neighbour, and had not been, cherishing hatred, towards him, aforetime;

6 Nego neka sjedi u gradu onom dokle ne stane pred zbor na sud, do smrti poglavara sveštenièkoga koji bude onda, tada neka se krvnik vrati i ide u svoj grad i svojoj kuæi, u grad iz kojega je utekao.

so shall he remain in that city, until he standeth before the assembly, for judgment, until the death of the high-priest who shall be in those days, —then, shall the manslayer return, and enter into his own city, and into his own house, within the city from whence he fled.

7 I odijeliše Kedes u Galileji u gori Neftalimovoj i Sihem u gori Jefremovoj i Kirijat-Arvu, to je Hevron, u gori Judinoj.

So then they set apart Kadesh in Galilee, in the hill country of Naphtali, and Shechem, in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba, the same, is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah.

8 A preko Jordana od Jerihona na istok odrediše Vosor u pustinji, u ravni, od plemena Ruvimova, i Ramot u Galadu od plemena Gadova, i Golan u Vasanu od plemena Manasijina.

And, beyond the Jordan, by Jericho eastward, they appointed Bezer in the wilderness, in the table-land, out of the tribe of Reuben, —and Ramoth in Gilead, out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan, out of the tribe of Manasseh.

9 To su gradovi odreðeni svijem sinovima Izrailjevijem i došljaku koji se bavi meðu njima, da uteèe u njih ko god ubije koga nehotice i da ne pogine od ruke osvetnikove dokle ne stane pred zbor.

These, were the cities appointed for all the sons of Israel, and for the sojourner who sojourneth in their midst, that whosoever should slay a person by mistake, might flee thither, —and not die by the hand of the blood-redeemer, until he should stand before the assembly.
