Yǝxua 20

1 Pǝrwǝrdigar Yǝxuaƣa sɵz ⱪilip mundaⱪ dedi: —

Then Yahweh said to Joshua,

2 Sǝn Israillarƣa mundaⱪ degin: — «Ɵzüm Musaning wasitisi bilǝn silǝrgǝ buyruƣandǝk, ɵzünglar üqün «panaⱨliⱪ xǝⱨǝrlǝr»ni tallap bekitinglar;

“Tell the Israeli people that they should choose some cities to which people [can run] in order to be safe/protected, like I told Moses that they should do.

3 bilmǝy, tasadipiyliⱪtin adǝm urup ɵltürüp ⱪoyƣan ⱨǝrⱪandaⱪ kixi u xǝⱨǝrlǝrgǝ ⱪeqip kǝtsun. Buning bilǝn bu xǝⱨǝrlǝr silǝrgǝ ⱪan intiⱪamini alƣuqidin panaⱨgaⱨ bolidu.

If someone kills another person accidentally, not intending to kill that person, the one who killed that person may run/escape to one of these cities and be safe/protected from someone trying to get revenge for that person’s death [MTY].

4 [Adǝmni xundaⱪ ɵltürgǝn] kixi bu xǝⱨǝrlǝrning birigǝ ⱪeqip berip, xǝⱨǝrning ⱪowuⱪiƣa kelip, xu yǝrdǝ xǝⱨǝrning aⱪsaⱪalliriƣa ɵz ǝⱨwalini eytsun; ular uni ɵzigǝ ⱪobul ⱪilip xǝⱨǝrgǝ kirgüzüp, uning ɵzliri bilǝn billǝ turuxiƣa uningƣa jay bǝrsun.

When the one who killed someone arrives at the gate of one of those cities, he must stop there and tell the leaders of the city what happened. [If they believe him], they must allow him to enter the city, and they must give him a place to live among them.

5 Əmdi ⱪan ⱪisasini alƣuqi uni ⱪoƣlap kǝlsǝ, ular adǝm ɵltürgǝn kixini ⱪisaskarning ⱪoliƣa tapxurup bǝrmisun; qünki xu kixining burundin ɵz ⱪoxnisiƣa ⱨeq ɵq-adawiti bolmiƣan, bǝlki tasadipiy urup ɵltürüp ⱪoyƣan.

If some relative of the one who was killed comes to that city to get revenge, the leaders of that city must not allow the relative to take the killer, because what happened was accidental. He did not hate that person and as a result deliberately kill him.

6 [Adǝm ɵltürgǝn] kixi jamaǝt aldida soraⱪ ⱪilinƣuqǝ xu xǝⱨǝrdǝ tursun; andin xu waⱪittiki bax kaⱨin ɵlüp kǝtkǝndǝ, u xu xǝⱨǝrdin ayrilip, ɵz xǝⱨirigǝ, yǝni ⱪeqip qiⱪⱪan xǝⱨǝrdiki ɵyigǝ yenip kǝlsun.

But the person who killed someone must stay in that city until the city judges put him on trial. [Only if the judges decide that the person who has run/escaped to their city did not deliberately kill the other person will they allow him to stay in that city], and he must stay there until the Supreme Priest dies. Then he may safely go back to his own town, [because the death of the Supreme Priest will be considered to atone/pay for the death of the person who was killed].”

7 Xuning bilǝn ular Naftali taƣliⱪ yurtidiki Kǝdǝxni, Əfraimning taƣliⱪ yurtidiki Xǝkǝmni wǝ Yǝⱨudaning taƣliⱪ yurtidiki Kiriat-Arba, yǝni Ⱨebronni,

So the Israelis chose these cities to be cities to which people could run to be safe/protected: Kedesh in the Galilee district in the hilly area where the tribe of Naphtali lived; Shechem in the hilly area where the tribe of Ephraim lived; Kiriath-Arba (which is [now named] Hebron) in the hilly area where the tribe of Judah lived;

8 Yerihoning xǝrⱪ tǝripidiki, Iordan dǝryasining u ⱪetidiki Rubǝn ⱪǝbilisining zeminidin tüzlǝnglikning qɵlidiki Bǝzǝrni, Gad ⱪǝbilisining zeminidin Gileadtiki Ramotni wǝ Manassǝⱨ ⱪǝbilisining zeminidin Baxandiki Golanni tallap bekitti.

Bezer, on the east side of the Jordan [River] near Jericho, in the flat land in the desert where the tribe of Reuben lived; Ramoth in the Gilead [region] in the land where the tribe of Gad lived; and Golan in the Bashan region where the tribe of Manasseh lived.

9 Mana bu xǝⱨǝrlǝr barliⱪ Israillar wǝ ularning arisida turuwatⱪan musapirlar üqün panaⱨgaⱨ boluxⱪa bekitilgǝn xǝⱨǝrlǝrdur; kimki bilmǝy, tasadipiliⱪtin adǝm ɵltürgǝn bolsa, uning jamaǝt aldida soraⱪ ⱪilinixidin burun, ⱪan ⱪisaskarning ⱪolida ɵlmǝsliki üqün xu xǝⱨǝrlǝrgǝ ⱪeqip ketixkǝ bu xǝⱨǝrlǝr bekitilgǝn.

Any Israeli or any foreigner who lived among us, anyone who killed someone (accidentally/without planning to do it), was allowed to run to one of those cities, and be safe/protected from some relative of the person who died coming there and killing him to get revenge. He could stay in that city until there was a trial there [to decide whether he was telling the truth or not when he said that he did not plan to kill that person].
