2 byd Israelitterne, at de af de Besiddelser, de får i Arv, skal give Leviterne nogle Byer at bo i; I skal også give Leviterne Græsmarker rundt om disse Byer,
2 “Command the sons of Israel that they give to the Levites from the inheritance of their possession cities to live in; and you shall give to the Levites pasture lands around the cities.
5 og uden for Byen skal I til Østside opmåle 2OOO Alen, til Sydside 2000, til Vestside 2OOO og til Nordside 2OOO, med Byen i Midten. Det skal tilfalde dem som Græsgange til Byerne.
5 You shall also measure outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits, with the city in the center. This shall become theirs as pasture lands for the cities.
6 Hvad de Byer angår, som I skal give Leviterne, så skal I give dem de seks Tilflugtsbyer, som Manddrabere kan ty ind i, og desuden to og fyrretyve Byer.
6 The cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the manslayer to flee to; and in addition to them you shall give forty-two cities.
8 Og af de Byer, I skal give dem af Israelitternes Besiddelser, skal I lade de større Stammer give flere, de mindre færre; hver Stamme skal give Leviterne så mange af sine Byer, som svarer til den Arvelod, der tildeles den.
8 As for the cities which you shall give from the possession of the sons of Israel, you shall take more from the larger and you shall take less from the smaller; each shall give some of his cities to the Levites in proportion to his possession which he inherits.”
12 I disse Byer skal I have Ret til at søge Tilflugt for Blodhævneren, for at ikke Manddraberen skal dø, før han er blevet stillet for Menighedens Domstol.
12 The cities shall be to you as a refuge from the avenger, so that the manslayer will not die until he stands before the congregation for trial.
15 Israelitterne, de fremmede og de indvandrede iblandt dem skal have Ret til at søge Tilflugt i de seks Byer, så at enhver, der begår et Drab af Vanvare, kan ty derhen.
15 These six cities shall be for refuge for the sons of Israel, and for the alien and for the sojourner among them; that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there.
17 og slår han ham ihjel med en Sten, som han har i Hånden, og som kan slå en Mand ihjel, så er han en Manddraber, og Manddraberen skal lide Døden;
17 If he struck him down with a stone in the hand, by which he will die, and as a result he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.
18 og slår han ham ihjel med et Træredskab, som han har i Hånden, og som kan slå en Mand ihjel, så er han en Manddraber, og Måddraberen skal lide Døden.
18 Or if he struck him with a wooden object in the hand, by which he might die, and as a result he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.
21 eller slår han ham med Hånden i Fjendskab, så han dør deraf, skal drabsmanden lide Døden, thi han er en Manddraber; Blodhævneren skal dræbe Manddraberen, når han træffer ham.
21 or if he struck him down with his hand in enmity, and as a result he died, the one who struck him shall surely be put to death, he is a murderer; the blood avenger shall put the murderer to death when he meets him.
23 eller rammer han ham uden at se ham med en Sten, som kan slå en Mand ihjel, så han dør deraf, og han ikke er hans Uven eller har pønset på ondt imod ham,
23 or with any deadly object of stone, and without seeing it dropped on him so that he died, while he was not his enemy nor seeking his injury,
25 og Menigheden skal værne Manddraberen mod Blodhævneren, og Menigheden skal føre ham tilbage til hans Tilflugtsby, hvorhen han var tyet, og der skal han blive boende, indtil den med hellig Olie salvede Ypperstepræst dør.
25 The congregation shall deliver the manslayer from the hand of the blood avenger, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge to which he fled; and he shall live in it until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.
28 thi han skal blive i sin Tilflugtsby indtil Ypperstepræstens Død; først efter Ypperstepræstens Død kan Manddraberen vende tilbage til den Jord, han ejer.
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 manslayer shall return to the land of his possession.
30 Når nogen slår et Menneske ihjel, må man kun dræbe Manddraberen efter flere Vidners Udsagn. Et enkelt Vidnes Udsagn er ikke nok til en Dødsdom.
30 ‘If anyone kills a person, the murderer shall be put to death at the evidence of witnesses, but no person shall be put to death on the testimony of one witness.
33 Vanhelliger ikke det Land, I er i, thi Blodet vanhelliger Landet, og Landet får kun Soning for det Blod, der er udgydt deri, ved dens Blod, der har udgydt det.
33 So you shall not pollute the land in which you are; for blood pollutes the land and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed on it, except by the blood of him who shed it.
