| 1 | And the Lord spoke to Josue, saying: Speak to the children of Israel and say to them: | Et locutus est Dominus ad Iosue, dicens: Loquere filiis Israël, et dic eis: | Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος τῷ Ἰησοῖ, λέγων, |
| 2 | Appoint cities of refuge, a of which I spoke to you by the hand of Moses: | Separate urbes fugitivorum, de quibus locutus sum ad vos per manum Moysi: | λάλησον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, λέγων, δότε τὰς πόλεις τῶν φυγαδευτηρίων, ἃς εἶπα πρὸς ὑμᾶς διὰ Μωυσῆ. |
| 3 | That whosoever shall kill a person unawares may flee to them: and may escape the wrath of the kinsman, who is the avenger of blood: | ut confugiat ad eas quicumque animam percusserit nescius, et possit evadere iram proximi, qui ultor est sanguinis: | Φυγαδευτήριον τῷ φονευτῇ τῷ πατάξαντι ψυχὴν ἀκουσίως· καὶ ἔσονται ὑμῖν αἱ πόλεις φυγαδευτήριον, καὶ οὐκ ἀποθανεῖται ὁ φονευτὴς ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀγχιστεύοντος τὸ αἷμα, ἕως ἂν καταστῇ· ἐναντίον τῆς συναγωγῆς εἰς κρίσιν. |
| 4 | And when he shall flee to one of these cities: he shall stand before the gate of the city, and shall speak to the ancients of that city, such things as prove him innocent: and so shall they receive him, and give him a place to dwell in. | cum ad unam harum confugerit civitatum, stabit ante portam civitatis, et loquetur senioribus urbis illius ea quae se comprobent innocentem: sicque suscipient eum, et dabunt ei locum ad habitandum. | — |
| 5 | And when the avenger of blood shall pursue him, they shall not deliver him into his hands, because he slew his neighbour unawares, and is not proved to have been his enemy two or three days before. | Cumque ultor sanguinis eum fuerit persecutus, non tradent in manus eius: quia ignorans percussit proximum eius, nec ante biduum triduumve eius probatur inimicus. | — |
| 6 | And he shall dwell in that city, till he stand before judgment to give an account of his fact, and till the death of the high priest, who shall be at that time: then shall the manslayer return, and go into his own city and house from whence he fled. | Et habitabit in civitate illa, donec stet ante iudicium, causam reddens facti sui, et moriatur sacerdos magnus, qui fuerit in illo tempore: tunc revertetur homicida, et ingredietur civitatem et domum suam de qua fugerat. | — |
| 7 | And they appointed Cedes in Galilee of mount Nephtali, and Sichem in mount Ephraim, and Cariath-Arbe, the same is Hebron in the mountain of Juda. | Decreveruntque Cedes in Galilaea montis Nephthali, et Sichem in monte Ephraim, et Cariatharbe, ipsa est Hebron in monte Iuda. | Καὶ διέστειλε τὴν Κάδης ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Νεφθαλὶ, καὶ Συχὲμ ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Ἐφραὶμ, καὶ τὴν πόλιν Ἀρβὸκ, αὕτη ἐστὶ Χεβρὼν, ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Ἰούδα. |
| 8 | And beyond the Jordan to the east of Jericho, they appointed Bosor, which is upon the plain of the wilderness of the tribe of Ruben, and Ramoth in Galaad of the tribe of Cad, and Gaulon in Basan of the tribe of Manasses. | Et trans Iordanem contra orientalem plagam Iericho, statuerunt Bosor, quae sita est in campestri solitudine de tribu Ruben, et Ramoth in Galaad de tribu Gad, et Gaulon in Basan de tribu Manasse. | Καὶ ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἔδωκε Βοσὸρ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ ἀπὸ τῆς φυλῆς Ῥουβὴν, καὶ Ἀρημὼθ ἐν τῇ Γαλαὰδ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Γὰδ, καὶ τὴν Γαυλὼν ἐν τῇ Βασανίτιδι ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Μανασσῆ. |
| 9 | These cities were appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the strangers, that dwelt among them: that whosoever had killed a person unawares might flee to them, and not die by the hand of the kinsman, coveting to revenge the blood that was shed, until he should stand before the people to lay open his cause. | Hae civitates constitutae sunt cunctis filiis Israël, et advenis qui habitabant inter eos, ut fugeret ad eas qui animam nescius percussisset, et non moreretur in manu proximi, effusum sanguinem vindicare cupientis, donec staret ante populum expositurus causam suam. | Αὗται αἱ πόλεις αἱ ἐπίκλητοι τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ τῷ προσηλύτῳ τῷ προσκειμένῳ ἐν αὐτοῖς, καταφυγεῖν ἐκεῖ παντὶ παίοντι ψυχὴν ἀκουσίως, ἵνα μὴ ἀποθάνῃ ἐν χειρὶ τοῦ ἀγχιστεύοντος τὸ αἷμα, ἕως ἄν καταστῇ ἔναντι τῆς συναγωγῆς εἰς κρίσιν. |
