1And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in the plains of Moab, by Jordan, [near] Jericho, saying,
1Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega Moabi lagendikel Jordani ääres Jeeriko kohal, öeldes:
2`Command the sons of Israel, and they have given to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to inhabit; also a suburb for the cities round about them ye do give to the Levites.
2'Käsi Iisraeli lapsi, et nad neile kuuluvast pärisosast annaksid leviitidele linnu elamiseks; ja andke leviitidele ka karjamaad nende linnade ümber!
3And the cities have been to them to inhabit, and their suburbs are for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
3Need linnad olgu neile elamiseks ja karjamaad olgu nende veoloomadele, veistele ja kõigile muudele loomadele!
4`And the suburbs of the cities which ye give to the Levites [are], from the wall of the city and without, a thousand cubits round about.
4Ja nende linnade karjamaad, mis te annate leviitidele, olgu väljaspool linnamüüri tuhandeküünrase ringina!
5And ye have measured from the outside of the city, the east quarter, two thousand by the cubit, and the south quarter, two thousand by the cubit, and the west quarter, two thousand by the cubit, and the north quarter, two thousand by the cubit; and the city [is] in the midst; this is to them the suburbs of the cities.
5Mõõtke väljaspool linna idapoolses küljes kaks tuhat küünart ja lõunapoolses küljes kaks tuhat küünart ja läänepoolses küljes kaks tuhat küünart ja põhjapoolses küljes kaks tuhat küünart ja linn olgu keskpaigas; see olgu neile linnade karjamaaks!
6`And the cities which ye give to the Levites [are] the six cities of refuge, which ye give for the fleeing thither of the man-slayer, and besides them ye give forty and two cities;
6Ja neist linnadest, mis te annate leviitidele, olgu kuus tükki pelgulinnadeks, mis te annate selleks, et sinna võiks põgeneda tapja; ja neile lisaks andke nelikümmend kaks linna!
7all the cities which ye give to the Levites [are] forty and eight cities, them and their suburbs.
7Ühtekokku olgu linnu, mis te peate andma leviitidele, nelikümmend kaheksa linna, need ja nende karjamaad!
8And the cities which ye give [are] of the possession of the sons of Israel, from the many ye multiply, and from the few ye diminish; each, according to his inheritance which they inherit, doth give of his cities to the Levites.`
8Ja neid linnu, mis te annate Iisraeli laste omanditest, andke suuremailt suguharudelt rohkem ja väiksemailt vähem; igaüks andku oma linnadest leviitidele vastavalt pärisosale, mille ta saab!'
9And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
9Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega, öeldes:
10`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye are passing over the Jordan to the land of Canaan,
10'Räägi Iisraeli lastega ja ütle neile: Kui te lähete üle Jordani Kaananimaale,
11and have prepared to yourselves cities — cities of refuge they are to you — then fled thither hath a man-slayer, smiting a person unawares,
11siis valige endile linnad; need olgu teile pelgulinnadeks, et sinna võiks põgeneda tapja, kes kogemata on kellegi surmanud!
12and the cities have been to you for a refuge from the redeemer, and the man-slayer doth not die till his standing before the company for judgment.
12Need linnad olgu teile pelgupaikadeks veritasunõudja eest, et tapja ei sureks, enne kui ta on seisnud koguduse kohtu ees!
13`As to the cities which ye give — six [are] cities of refuge to you;
13Linnadest, mis te annate, olgu kuus tükki teile pelgulinnadeks:
14the three of the cities ye give beyond the Jordan, and the three of the cities ye give in the land of Canaan; cities of refuge they are.
14kolm linna andke siinpool Jordanit ja kolm linna andke Kaananimaal; need olgu pelgulinnadeks!
15To sons of Israel, and to a sojourner, and to a settler in their midst, are these six cities for a refuge, for the fleeing thither of any one smiting a person unawares.
15Iisraeli lastele ning võõrale ja majalisele nende seas olgu need kuus linna pelgupaikadeks, et sinna võiks põgeneda igaüks, kes kogemata on kellegi tapnud!
16`And if with an instrument of iron he hath smitten him, and he dieth, he [is] a murderer: the murderer is certainly put to death.
16Aga kui ta lööb teda raudriistaga, nõnda et ta sureb, siis ta on meelega tapja: seda tapjat karistatagu surmaga!
17`And if with a stone [in] the hand, wherewith he dieth, he hath smitten him, and he dieth, he [is] a murderer: the murderer is certainly put to death.
17Või kui ta lööb teda käes oleva kiviga, millega saab surmata, nõnda et ta sureb, siis ta on meelega tapja: seda tapjat karistatagu surmaga!
18`Or with a wooden instrument [in] the hand, wherewith he dieth, he hath smitten him, and he dieth, he [is] a murderer: the murderer is certainly put to death.
18Või kui ta lööb teda käes oleva puuriistaga, millega saab surmata, nõnda et ta sureb, siis ta on meelega tapja: seda tapjat karistatagu surmaga!
19`The redeemer of blood himself doth put the murderer to death; in his coming against him he doth put him to death.
19Veritasunõudja surmaku see tapja; kui ta teda kohtab, siis ta surmaku ta!
20`And if in hatred he thrust him through, or hath cast [anything] at him by lying in wait, and he dieth;
20Ja kui ta viha pärast teda tõukab või varitsedes viskab midagi tema peale, nõnda et ta sureb,
21or in enmity he hath smitten him with his hand, and he dieth; the smiter is certainly put to death; he [is] a murderer; the redeemer of blood doth put the murderer to death in his coming against him.
21või vaenulikkusest lööb teda oma käega, nõnda et ta sureb, siis karistatagu lööjat surmaga: ta on meelega tapja; veritasunõudja surmaku tapja, kui ta teda kohtab.
22`And if, in an instant, without enmity, he hath thrust him through, or hath cast at him any instrument, without lying in wait;
22Aga kui ta äkitselt, ilma vaenulikkuseta, tõukab või viskab ta peale mõne asja, ilma et ta oleks teda varitsenud,
23or with any stone wherewith he dieth, without seeing, and causeth [it] to fall upon him, and he dieth, and he [is] not his enemy, nor seeking his evil;
23või laseb ilma teda nägemata langeda ta peale mõne kivi, millega saab surmata, nõnda et ta sureb, kuid ta ei ole olnud tema vihamees ega ole püüdnud temale kurja teha,
24then have the company judged between the smiter and the redeemer of blood, by these judgments.
24siis kogudus mõistku kohut lööja ja veritasunõudja vahel nende seadluste järgi!
25`And the company have delivered the man-slayer out of the hand of the redeemer of blood, and the company have caused him to turn back unto the city of his refuge, whither he hath fled, and he hath dwelt in it till the death of the chief priest, who hath been anointed with the holy oil.
25Ja kogudus päästku tapja veritasunõudja käest ja kogudus saatku ta tagasi pelgulinna, kuhu ta oli põgenenud; ja ta asugu seal püha õliga võitud ülempreestri surmani!
26`And if the man-slayer at all go out [from] the border of the city of his refuge whither he fleeth,
26Aga kui tapja siiski läheb välja oma pelgulinna maa-alalt, kuhu ta on põgenenud,
27and the redeemer of blood hath found him at the outside of the border of the city of his refuge, and the redeemer of blood hath slain the man-slayer, blood is not for him;
27ja veritasunõudja leiab tema väljaspool ta pelgulinna maa-ala ja veritasunõudja tapab tapja, siis ei ole tal veresüüd,
28for in the city of his refuge he doth dwell till the death of the chief priest; and after the death of the chief priest doth the man-slayer turn back unto the city of his possession.
28sest tapja peab jääma oma pelgulinna kuni ülempreestri surmani; pärast ülempreestri surma võib tapja minna tagasi oma pärisosa maale.
29`And these things have been to you for a statute of judgment to your generations, in all your dwellings:
29Need olgu teile seadusteks põlvest põlve, kus te ka iganes elate.
30whoso smiteth a person, by the mouth of witnesses doth [one] slay the murderer; and one witness doth not testify against a person — to die.
30Kui keegi lööb maha mõne hingelise, siis surmatagu tapja tunnistajate ütluse järgi; aga ühe tunnistaja tunnistuse järgi ärgu surmatagu kedagi!
31`And ye take no atonement for the life of a murderer who [is] condemned — to die, for he is certainly put to death;
31Te ei tohi võtta lunahinda tapja hinge eest, kes on surma väärt, vaid teda karistatagu surmaga!
32and ye take no atonement for him to flee unto the city of his refuge, to turn back to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
32Te ei tohi võtta lunahinda sellelt, kes on põgenenud pelgulinna, et ta saaks pöörduda tagasi maale elama enne preestri surma!
33`And ye profane not the land which ye [are] in, for blood profaneth the land; as to the land, it is not pardoned for blood which is shed in it except by the blood of him who sheddeth it;
33Ärge rüvetage maad, kus te olete, sest veri rüvetab maad ja maale ei saa toimetada lepitust vere eest, mis seal on valatud, kui ainult selle valaja verega!
34and ye defile not the land in which ye are dwelling, in the midst of which I do tabernacle, for I Jehovah do tabernacle in the midst of the sons of Israel.`
34Ära rüveta maad, kus te elate, mille keskel mina elan, sest mina, Issand, elan Iisraeli laste keskel!'
