¹And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

¹A Hospodin hovoril Mojžišovi v Arbót-moábe pri Jordáne, naproti Jerichu a riekol:

²Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.

²Prikáž synom Izraelovým, aby dali Levitom z dedičstva svojho državia, mestá na bývanie, aj obvod pre mestá vôkol nich dáte Levitom.

³And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.

³A mestá im budú na bývanie, a ich obvody budú pre ich hovädá a pre ich majetky a pre všetky ich zvieratá.

⁴And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.

⁴A obvody miest, ktoré dáte Levitom, budú takéhoto rozsahu: od múra mesta a na vonok budú na tisíc lakťov dookola.

⁵And ye shall measure from without 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; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.

⁵A tedy nameriate vonku za mestom stranu na východ dva tisíce lakťov a stranu na juh dva tisíce lakťov a stranu na západ dva tisíce lakťov a stranu na sever dva tisíce lakťov, a mesto bude v prostredku. To im budú obvody miest.

⁶And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.

⁶A okrem miest, ktoré dáte Levitom, tých šesť útočištných miest, ktoré dáte nato, aby sa do nich do niektorého utiekol ten, kto niekoho zabil, dáte im ešte štyridsaťdva miest.

⁷So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.

⁷Všetkých miest, ktoré dáte Levitom, bude štyridsaťosem miest aj s ich obvodami.

⁸And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.

⁸A mestá, ktoré dáte z državia synov Izraelových, dáte tak, že od toho, kto dostal viacej, vezmete viacej, a od toho, kto dostal menej, vezmete menej. Každý dá Levitom zo svojich miest podľa veľkosti svojho dedičstva, ktoré ktorí zdedili.

⁹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

⁹A Hospodin hovoril Mojžišovi a riekol

¹⁰Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

¹⁰Hovor synom Izraelovým a povieš im: Keď prejdete Jordán a vojdete do Kananejskej zeme,

¹¹Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.

¹¹vyznačíte si mestá, ktoré vám budú útočištnými mestami, kam sa utečie vrah, ten, kto niekoho zabil z nedopatrenia.

¹²And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.

¹²A tie mestá vám budú útočišťom pred pomstiteľom, aby nezomrel vrah, dokiaľ by nestál pred obcou na súd.

¹³And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.

¹³A tedy z miest, ktoré dáte, budete mať šesť útočištných miest.

¹⁴Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.

¹⁴Tri mestá dáte za Jordánom a tri mestá dáte v Kananejskej zemi, to budú útočištné mestá.

¹⁵These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.

¹⁵Pre synov Izraelových, pre pohostína i pre príchodzieho medzi nimi bude tých šesť miest útočišťom, aby sa ta utiekol každý, kto by zabil niekoho z nedopatrenia.

¹⁶And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

¹⁶Ale keby niekto uderil niekoho železným nástrojom tak, že by zomrel, je vrah; taký vrah zomrie!

¹⁷And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

¹⁷A keby niekto uderil niekoho kameňom z ruky, od ktorého môže zomrieť človek, a zomrel by, je vrah; taký vrah zomrie!

¹⁸Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

¹⁸Alebo keby ho uderil nejakým dreveným nástrojom z ruky, od ktorého môže zomrieť človek, a zomrel by, vrah je, taký vrah zomrie!

¹⁹The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.

¹⁹Sám pomstiteľ krvi zabije vraha; keď ho niekde pristihne, ten ho zabije.

²⁰But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;

²⁰A keby niekto z nenávisti sotil niekoho alebo by hodil niečo na neho zúmyselne, a zomrel by;

²¹Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.

²¹alebo keby ho z nepriateľstva uderil svojou rukou tak, že by zomrel, istotne zomrie ten, kto tak uderil, je vrah. Pomstiteľ krvi zabije vraha, keď ho stretne.

²²But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,

²²Ale keby ho sotil z nenazdania, bez nepriateľstva, alebo keby hodil na neho nejakú vec, nech už by bola jakákoľvek, bez úmyslu,

²³Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:

²³alebo keby ho nevidel a spustil by na neho nejaký kameň, od ktorého by mohol zomrieť človek, a zomrel by, a nebol by mu býval nepriateľom ani by nebol hľadal jeho zlého,

²⁴Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:

²⁴vtedy rozsúdi obec medzi tým, kto zabil, a medzi pomstiteľom krvi podľa týchto súdov.

²⁵And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.

²⁵A obec vytrhne takého vraha z ruky pomstiteľa krvi a navrátia ho, totiž obec, do mesta jeho útočišťa, do ktorého sa bol utiekol, a bude bývať v ňom až do smrti najvyššieho kňaza, ktorého pomazali svätým olejom.

²⁶But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;

²⁶Ale keby sa opovážil vrah a vyšiel by za chotár mesta svojho útočišťa, do ktorého sa utiekol,

²⁷And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:

²⁷a pomstiteľ krvi by ho našiel vonku za chotárom mesta jeho útočišťa, a tam by zabil pomstiteľ krvi vraha, nemá viny na krvi,

²⁸Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.

²⁸lebo má bývať v meste svojho útočišťa až do smrti najvyššieho kňaza, a len po smrti najvyššieho kňaza navráti sa vrah do zeme svojho državia.

²⁹So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

²⁹A toto vám bude súdnym ustanovením po vašich pokoleniach vo všetkých vašich bydliskách.

³⁰Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.

³⁰Ktokoľvek by zabil človeka podľa svedoctva svedkov, zabijú vraha. Ale jeden svedok nebude môcť svedčiť proti niekomu tak, aby zomrel.

³¹Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.

³¹A nevezmete výplaty za dušu, za život vraha, ktorý súc nešľachetný je hoden smrti, ale doista zomrie.

³²And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.

³²Ani nevezmete výplaty za útek do mesta jeho útočišťa, tak aby sa vrátil a býval v zemi, dokiaľ nezomrie kňaz,

³³So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.

³³aby ste nepoškvrnili zeme, v ktorej ste, lebo taká krv by poškvrnila zem. A takej zemi sa ničím iným nepokryje hriech za krv, ktorá bola vyliata v nej, iba krvou toho, kto ju vylial.

³⁴Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.

³⁴A preto nezanečistíš zeme, v ktorej bývate, a vprostred ktorej prebývam ja, lebo ja Hospodin prebývam prostred synov Izraelových.
