約書亞記 20
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1耶和華曉諭 約書亞 說：
1The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying,
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，
2Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of 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。
3That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall 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。
4And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell 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。
5And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.
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。」
6And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence 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 ）；
7¶ And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjath-arba, which is Hebron, in the mountain 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 on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of 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 were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
