1 ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي عَرَبَاتِ مُوآبَ عَلَى أُرْدُنِّ أَرِيحَا قَائِلًا:
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,
2 «أَوْصِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يُعْطُوا ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ نَصِيبِ مُلْكِهِمْ مُدُنًا لِلسَّكَنِ، وَمَسَارِحَ لِلْمُدُنِ حَوَالَيْهَا تُعْطُونَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ.
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 فَتَكُونُ ٱلْمُدُنُ لَهُمْ لِلسَّكَنِ وَمَسَارِحُهَا تَكُونُ لِبَهَائِمِهِمْ وَأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَلِسَائِرِ حَيَوَانَاتِهِمْ.
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 وَمَسَارِحُ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ تَكُونُ مِنْ سُورِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى جِهَةِ ٱلْخَارِجِ أَلْفَ ذِرَاعٍ حَوَالَيْهَا.
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 فَتَقِيسُونَ مِنْ خَارِجِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ جَانِبَ ٱلشَّرْقِ أَلْفَيْ ذِرَاعٍ، وَجَانِبَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ أَلْفَيْ ذِرَاعٍ، وَجَانِبَ ٱلْغَرْبِ أَلْفَيْ ذِرَاعٍ، وَجَانِبَ ٱلشِّمَالِ أَلْفَيْ ذِرَاعٍ، وَتَكُونُ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ فِي ٱلْوَسَطِ. هَذِهِ تَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَسَارِحَ ٱلْمُدُنِ.
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 «وَٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ تَكُونُ سِتٌّ مِنْهَا مُدُنًا لِلْمَلْجَإِ. تُعْطُونَهَا لِكَيْ يَهْرُبَ إِلَيْهَا ٱلْقَاتِلُ. وَفَوْقَهَا تُعْطُونَ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ مَدِينَةً.
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 جَمِيعُ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ ثَمَانِي وَأَرْبَعُونَ مَدِينَةً مَعَ مَسَارِحِهَا.
7 All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities together with their pasture lands.
8 وَٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ مِنْ مُلْكِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِنَ ٱلْكَثِيرِ تُكَثِّرُونَ، وَمِنَ ٱلْقَلِيلِ تُقَلِّلُونَ. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ نَصِيبِهِ ٱلَّذِي مَلَكَهُ يُعْطِي مِنْ مُدُنِهِ لِلَّاوِيِّينَ».
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 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:
9 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
10 «كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ عَابِرُونَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ.
10 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
11 فَتُعَيِّنُونَ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مُدُنًا تَكُونُ مُدُنَ مَلْجَإٍ لَكُمْ، لِيَهْرُبَ إِلَيْهَا ٱلْقَاتِلُ ٱلَّذِي قَتَلَ نَفْسًا سَهْوًا.
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 فَتَكُونُ لَكُمُ ٱلْمُدُنُ مَلْجَأً مِنَ ٱلْوَلِيِّ، لِكَيْلَا يَمُوتَ ٱلْقَاتِلُ حَتَّى يَقِفَ أَمَامَ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ لِلْقَضَاءِ.
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 وَٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَ تَكُونُ سِتَّ مُدُنِ مَلْجَإٍ لَكُمْ.
13 The cities which you shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge.
14 ثَلَاثًا مِنَ ٱلْمُدُنِ تُعْطُونَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، وَثَلَاثًا مِنَ ٱلْمُدُنِ تُعْطُونَ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. مُدُنَ مَلْجَإٍ تَكُونُ
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 لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلِلْغَرِيبِ وَلِلْمُسْتَوْطِنِ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ تَكُونُ هَذِهِ ٱلسِّتُّ ٱلْمُدُنِ لِلْمَلْجَإِ، لِكَيْ يَهْرُبَ إِلَيْهَا كُلُّ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا سَهْوًا.
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 «إِنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِأَدَاةِ حَدِيدٍ فَمَاتَ، فَهُوَ قَاتِلٌ. إِنَّ ٱلْقَاتِلَ يُقْتَلُ.
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 وَإِنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِحَجَرِ يَدٍ مِمَّا يُقْتَلُ بِهِ فَمَاتَ، فَهُوَ قَاتِلٌ. إِنَّ ٱلْقَاتِلَ يُقْتَلُ.
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 أَوْ ضَرَبَهُ بِأَدَاةِ يَدٍ مِنْ خَشَبٍ مِمَّا يُقْتَلُ بِهِ، فَهُوَ قَاتِلٌ. إِنَّ ٱلْقَاتِلَ يُقْتَلُ.
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 وَلِيُّ ٱلدَّمِ يَقْتُلُ ٱلْقَاتِلَ. حِينَ يُصَادِفُهُ يَقْتُلُهُ.
19 The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death. When he meets him, he shall put him to death.
20 وَإِنْ دَفَعَهُ بِبُغْضَةٍ أَوْ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا بِتَعَمُّدٍ فَمَاتَ،
20 If he shoved him out of hatred, or hurled something at him while lying in wait, so that he died,
21 أَوْ ضَرَبَهُ بِيَدِهِ بِعَدَاوَةٍ فَمَاتَ، فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ ٱلضَّارِبُ لِأَنَّهُ قَاتِلٌ. وَلِيُّ ٱلدَّمِ يَقْتُلُ ٱلْقَاتِلَ حِينَ يُصَادِفُهُ.
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 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ دَفَعَهُ بَغْتَةً بِلَا عَدَاوَةٍ، أَوْ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ أَدَاةً مَّا بِلَا تَعَمُّدٍ،
22 “‘But if he shoved him suddenly without hostility, or hurled on him anything without lying in wait,
23 أَوْ حَجَرًا مَّا مِمَّا يُقْتَلُ بِهِ بِلَا رُؤْيَةٍ. أَسْقَطَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَمَاتَ، وَهُوَ لَيْسَ عَدُوًّا لَهُ وَلَا طَالِبًا أَذِيَّتَهُ،
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 تَقْضِي ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ بَيْنَ ٱلْقَاتِلِ وَبَيْنَ وَلِيِّ ٱلدَّمِ، حَسَبَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَحْكَامِ.
24 then the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances.
25 وَتُنْقِذُ ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ ٱلْقَاتِلَ مِنْ يَدِ وَلِيِّ ٱلدَّمِ، وَتَرُدُّهُ ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ ٱلَّتِي هَرَبَ إِلَيْهَا، فَيُقِيمُ هُنَاكَ إِلَى مَوْتِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٱلَّذِي مُسِحَ بِٱلدُّهْنِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ.
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 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ خَرَجَ ٱلْقَاتِلُ مِنْ حُدُودِ مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ ٱلَّتِي هَرَبَ إِلَيْهَا،
26 “‘But if the man slayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge where he flees,
27 وَوَجَدَهُ وَلِيُّ ٱلدَّمِ خَارِجَ حُدُودِ مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ، وَقَتَلَ وَلِيُّ ٱلدَّمِ ٱلْقَاتِلَ، فَلَيْسَ لَهُ دَمٌ،
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 لِأَنَّهُ فِي مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ يُقِيمُ إِلَى مَوْتِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ. وَأَمَّا بَعْدَ مَوْتِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ فَيَرْجِعُ ٱلْقَاتِلُ إِلَى أَرْضِ مُلْكِهِ.
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 «فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ لَكُمْ فَرِيضَةَ حُكْمٍ إِلَى أَجْيَالِكُمْ فِي جَمِيعِ مَسَاكِنِكُمْ.
29 “‘These things shall be for a statute and ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
30 كُلُّ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا فَعَلَى فَمِ شُهُودٍ يُقْتَلُ ٱلْقَاتِلُ. وَشَاهِدٌ وَاحِدٌ لَا يَشْهَدْ عَلَى نَفْسٍ لِلْمَوْتِ.
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 وَلَا تَأْخُذُوا فِدْيَةً عَنْ نَفْسِ ٱلْقَاتِلِ ٱلْمُذْنِبِ لِلْمَوْتِ، بَلْ إِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ.
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 وَلَا تَأْخُذُوا فِدْيَةً لِيَهْرُبَ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ مَلْجَئِهِ، فَيَرْجِعَ وَيَسْكُنَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ.
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 لَا تُدَنِّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ فِيهَا، لِأَنَّ ٱلدَّمَ يُدَنِّسُ ٱلْأَرْضَ. وَعَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ لَا يُكَفَّرُ لِأَجْلِ ٱلدَّمِ ٱلَّذِي سُفِكَ فِيهَا، إِلَا بِدَمِ سَافِكِهِ.
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 وَلَا تُنَجِّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ مُقِيمُونَ فِيهَا ٱلَّتِي أَنَا سَاكِنٌ فِي وَسَطِهَا. إِنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ سَاكِنٌ فِي وَسَطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».
34 You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, where I dwell; for I, Yahweh, dwell among the children of Israel.’”
