Josué 20
1 Entonces el Señor le dijo a Josué:
And he spoke Yahweh to Joshua saying.
2 “Dile a los israelitas: ‘Asigna ciudades santuario, como te lo ordené por medio de Moisés.
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 Así, cualquier hombre que mate a alguien por accidente, sin intención, podrá correr hacia allí y será protegido de los que quieran vengarse.
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 Cuando llegue a una de estas ciudades, expondrá su caso a los ancianos a las puertas de la ciudad. Ellos deberán permitirle la entrada, y también le prepararán un lugar para alojarse.
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 Si el que busca venganza viene a buscar al hombre, no deben entregarle al que cometió el homicidio, porque mató a alguien sin intención y sin odio deliberado.
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 Permanecerá en esa ciudad hasta que se le celebre un juicio público y se emita un veredicto, y hasta la muerte del sumo sacerdote de turno. Entonces será libre de volver a su casa, a la ciudad de la que huyó’”.
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 Así que asignaron las siguientes ciudades santuario Cedes de Galilea, en la región montañosa de Neftalí; Siquem, en la región montañosa de Efraín; y Quiriat-arba (o Hebrón), en la región montañosa de Judá.
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 Al otro lado del Jordán, al este de Jericó, asignaron: Bezer, en el desierto de la meseta, de la tribu de Rubén; Ramot en Galaad, de la tribu de Gad; y Golán en Basán, de la tribu de Manasés.
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 Estasfueron las ciudades asignadas para todos los israelitas, así como para los extranjeros que vivían entre ellos. Cualquiera que matara a alguien involuntariamente podía ir allí para no ser asesinado por quienes quisieran vengarse antes de que se le hiciera un juicio público y se le diera un veredicto de culpabilidad.
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.
