約書亞記 20
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1耶和華曉諭 約書亞 說：
1Then the LORD said to Joshua,
2「你吩咐 以色列 人說：你們要照着我藉 摩西 所曉諭你們的，為自己設立逃城，
2“Tell the Israelites to designate the cities of refuge, as I instructed you through Moses,
3使那無心而誤殺人的，可以逃到那裏。這些城可以作你們逃避報血仇人的地方。
3so that anyone who kills another unintentionally or accidentally may flee there. These will be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
4那殺人的要逃到這些城中的一座城，站在城門口，將他的事情說給城內的長老們聽。他們就把他收進城裏，給他地方，使他住在他們中間。
4When someone flees to one of these cities, stands at the entrance of the city gate, and states his case before its elders, they are to bring him into the city and give him a place to live among them.
5若是報血仇的追了他來，長老不可將他交在報血仇的手裏；因為他是素無仇恨，無心殺了人的。
5Now if the avenger of blood pursues him, they must not surrender the manslayer into his hand, because that man killed his neighbor accidentally without prior malice.
6他要住在那城裏，站在會眾面前聽審判，等到那時的大祭司死了，殺人的才可以回到本城本家，就是他所逃出來的那城。」
6He is to stay in that city until he stands trial before the assembly and until the death of the high priest serving at that time. Then the manslayer may return to his own home in the city from which he fled.”
7於是， 以色列 人在 拿弗他利 山地分定 加利利 的 基低斯 ；在 以法蓮 山地分定 示劍 ；在 猶大 山地分定 基列‧亞巴 （ 基列‧亞巴 就是 希伯崙 ）；
7So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.
8又在 約旦河 外 耶利哥 東，從 呂便 支派中，在曠野的平原，設立 比悉 ；從 迦得 支派中設立 基列 的 拉末 ；從 瑪拿西 支派中設立 巴珊 的 哥蘭 。
8And beyond the Jordan, east of Jericho, they designated Bezer on the wilderness plateau from the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan from the tribe of Manasseh.
9這都是為 以色列 眾人和在他們中間寄居的外人所分定的城邑，使誤殺人的都可以逃到那裏，不死在報血仇人的手中，等他站在會眾面前 聽審判 。
9These are the cities appointed for all the Israelites and foreigners among them, so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood prior to standing trial before the assembly.
