1 Mientras Israel estaba acampando junto al Jordán en las llanuras de Moab, frente a Jericó, el Señor le dijo a Moisés:
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,
2 «Ordena a todo Israel que dé como herencia a los levitas ciertas ciudades y las tierras de pastoreo que las rodean.
2 “Command the children of Israel to give to the Levites cities to dwell in out of their inheritance. You shall give pasture lands for the cities around them to the Levites.
3 Estas ciudades son para habitar, y las tierras circundantes son para el ganado, las ovejas y otros animales que puedan poseer.
3 They shall have the cities to dwell in. Their pasture lands shall be for their livestock, and for their possessions, and for all their animals.
4 Las tierras de pastoreo estarán inmediatamente a continuación de los muros de la ciudad y será una franja de cuatrocientos cincuenta metros en torno a la ciudad,
4 “The pasture lands of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward one thousand cubits around it.
5 De este modo el diámetro de la ciudad se verá aumentado en novecientos metros.
5 You shall measure outside of the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the middle. This shall be the pasture lands of their cities.
6 »Asignarán a los levitas cuarenta y ocho ciudades, seis de las cuales serán ciudades de refugio. En ellas podrá refugiarse cualquier persona que haya dado muerte a otra en forma accidental.
6 “The cities which you shall give to the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the man slayer to flee to. Besides them you shall give forty-two cities.
7 En total serán cuarenta y ocho las ciudades que se darán a los levitas con sus correspondientes tierras de pastoreo.
7 All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities together with their pasture lands.
8 Estas ciudades estarán distribuidas en diversos lugares de la nación. Las tribus más grandes, que tienen muchas ciudades, darán más ciudades a los levitas, mientras que las tribus más pequeñas les darán menos ciudades».
8 Concerning the cities which you shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many you shall take many, and from the few you shall take few. Everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give some of his cities to the Levites.”
9 Y el Señor le dijo a Moisés:
9 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
10 «Dile al pueblo que cuando entre en la tierra,
10 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
11 se designarán ciudades de refugio a fin de que se ponga a salvo en ellas cualquiera que haya dado muerte a otro en forma accidental.
11 then you shall appoint for yourselves cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the man slayer who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
12 Estas ciudades serán lugares de protección donde el homicida accidental pueda protegerse del que quiera vengar al muerto. El homicida no podrá ser ejecutado sino hasta que se le haya seguido un juicio justo y se haya establecido su culpa.
12 The cities shall be for your refuge from the avenger, that the man slayer not die until he stands before the congregation for judgment.
13 Tres de estas ciudades de refugio estarán en la tierra de Canaán, y tres en el lado oriental del río Jordán.
13 The cities which you shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge.
14 Not in this translation
14 You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and you shall give three cities in the land of Canaan. They shall be cities of refuge.
15 Estas no sólo servirán de protección a los israelitas sino también a los extranjeros y a los viajeros.
15 These six cities shall be refuge for the children of Israel, for the stranger, and for the foreigner living among them, that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
16 »Pero si alguien es golpeado y muerto con un instrumento de hierro, debe presumirse que hubo asesinato, y el homicida deberá ser ejecutado.
16 “‘But if he struck him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.
17 Si el hombre murió porque lo golpearon con una piedra grande, se trata de un asesinato, y el asesino debe morir.
17 If he struck him with a stone in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.
18 Lo mismo es válido si alguien es muerto con un arma de madera.
18 Or if he struck him with a weapon of wood in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.
19 El vengador de la sangre personalmente dará muerte al asesino cuando lo encuentre.
19 The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death. When he meets him, he shall put him to death.
20 Si alguno da muerte a otro por odio arrojándole algo, poniéndole emboscada o
20 If he shoved him out of hatred, or hurled something at him while lying in wait, so that he died,
21 golpeándole con el puño hasta darle muerte; es un asesino. El asesino será ejecutado por el vengador de la sangre cuando lo hallare.
21 or in hostility struck him with his hand, so that he died, he who struck him shall surely be put to death. He is a murderer. The avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death when he meets him.
22 »Pero si se trata de un accidente, de un caso en que alguien arroja una piedra y sin querer golpea y mata a quien no era su enemigo,
22 “‘But if he shoved him suddenly without hostility, or hurled on him anything without lying in wait,
23 Not in this translation
23 or with any stone, by which a man may die, not seeing him, and cast it on him so that he died, and he was not his enemy and not seeking his harm,
24 el pueblo juzgará si hay que entregar o no al homicida en manos del vengador de la sangre.
24 then the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances.
25 Si se llega a conclusión de que la muerte fue accidental, el pueblo protegerá al homicida para que no caiga en manos del vengador de la sangre. El homicida será residente permanente de la ciudad de refugio. Vivirá allí hasta la muerte del sumo sacerdote.
25 The congregation shall deliver the man slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, where he had fled. He shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
26 »Si el homicida sale de la ciudad,
26 “‘But if the man slayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge where he flees,
27 y el vengador lo encuentra fuera de ella y le da muerte, no es un asesinato,
27 and the avenger of blood finds him outside of the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kills the man slayer, he shall not be guilty of blood,
28 porque el hombre debió haber permanecido dentro de la ciudad hasta la muerte del sumo sacerdote. Pero después de la muerte del sumo sacerdote, el hombre puede volver a su tierra y a su hogar.
28 because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest, the man slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
29 Estas son leyes permanentes para todo Israel de generación en generación.
29 “‘These things shall be for a statute and ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
30 »Todos los homicidas serán ejecutados, pero solamente si hay más de un testigo. Ningún hombre podrá ser ejecutado por el testimonio de una sola persona.
30 “‘Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain based on the testimony of witnesses; but one witness shall not testify alone against any person so that he dies.
31 Cualquiera que sea declarado culpable de asesinato, debe morir, y no se aceptará rescate por él.
31 “‘Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death. He shall surely be put to death.
32 Tampoco se podrá aceptar que un refugiado en una de estas ciudades pague para que se le permita regresar a su hogar antes de la muerte del sumo sacerdote.
32 “‘You shall take no ransom for him who has fled to his city of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land before the death of the priest.
33 Mediante el cumplimiento de estas normas la tierra no se contaminará, porque el asesinato contamina la tierra, y no se puede hacer reparación por la muerte de una persona sino por la ejecución del asesino.
33 “‘So you shall not pollute the land where you live; for blood pollutes the land. No atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it, but by the blood of him who shed it.
34 No contaminen la tierra donde van a vivir, porque yo, el Señor, viviré allí entre ustedes».
34 You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, where I dwell; for I, Yahweh, dwell among the children of Israel.’”
