Книга Иисуса Навина 20
1 И рече Господь ко Иисусу, глаголя:
And Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
2 рцы сыном Израилевым, глаголя: дадите грады убежений, яже рекох к вам Моисеом:
Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, Assign for you the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you by Moses,
3 убежище убийце поразившему душу неволею: и будут вам грады убежище, и не умрет убийца от ужика крове, дондеже предстанет пред сонмом на суд.
that the manslayer who kills any soul unwittingly and unawares may flee there. And they shall be to you for a refuge from the avenger of blood.
4 И (аще кто) убегнет во един от градов сих, и станет во вратех града, и исповесть во уши старцем града того словеса своя: и приимут его сонм к себе, и дадят ему место жити с ними:
And he shall flee to one of those cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his case in the ears of the elders of that city. And they shall take him into the city to them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
5 и егда поженет ужик крове вслед его, и не дадут убившаго в руце его: яко не ведый уби ближняго своего и не ненавидя той его от вчера и третияго дне:
And if the avenger of blood pursues after him, then they shall not deliver up the manslayer into his hand, because he smote his neighbor unawares, and did not hate him formerly.
6 и да вселится в той град, дондеже станет пред лицем сонма на суд, и дондеже умрет жрец великий, иже будет в тыя дни: тогда да обратится убийца, и внидет во град свой и в дом свой, и во град, отнюдуже избеже.
And he shall dwell in that city, until he stands before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest who shall be in those days. Then the manslayer shall return, and come to his own city, and to his own house, to the city from where he fled.
7 И отделиша Кедес в Галилеи, в горе Неффалимли, и Сихем в горе Ефремли, и Град Арво (сей есть Хеврон) в горе Иуде:
And they set apart Kedesh 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 и об ону страну Иордана ко Иерихону на восток, даша Восор в пустыни в поли от племене Рувимля, и Рамоф в Галааде от племене Гадова, и Голан в Васанитиде от племене Манассиина:
And beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness in the plain 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 сии грады избраны быша всем сыном Израилевым и пришелцу прилежащему в них, еже убежати тамо всякому убивающему душу неволею, да не умрет от руку ужика крове, дондеже станет пред сонмом на суд.
These were the appointed cities for all the sons of Israel, and for the stranger who sojourns among them, that whoever kills any soul unwittingly might flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood until he stood before the congregation.
