Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1When the Lord thy God hath destroyed the nations, whose land he will deliver to thee, and thou shalt possess it, and shalt dwell in the cities and houses thereof:
1「耶和华—你 神将列国之民剪除的时候，耶和华—你 神也将他们的地赐给你，你接着住他们的城邑并他们的房屋，
2Thou shalt separate to thee three cities in the midst of the land, which the Lord will give thee in possession,
2就要在耶和华—你 神所赐你为业的地上分定三座城。
3Paving diligently the way: and thou shalt divide the whole province of thy land equally into three parts: that he who is forced to flee for manslaughter, may have near at hand whither to escape.
3要将耶和华—你 神使你承受为业的地分为三段；又要预备道路，使误杀人的，都可以逃到那里去。
4This shall be the law of the slayer that fleeth, whose life is to be saved: He that killeth his neighbour ignorantly, and who is proved to have had no hatred against him yesterday and the day before:
4「误杀人的逃到那里可以存活，定例乃是这样：凡素无仇恨，无心杀了人的，
5But to have gone with him to the wood to hew wood, and in cutting down the tree the axe slipped out of his hand, and the iron slipping from the handle struck his friend, and killed him: he shall flee to one of the cities aforesaid, and live:
5就如人与邻舍同入树林砍伐树木，手拿斧子一砍，本想砍下树木，不料，斧头脱了把，飞落在邻舍身上，以致于死，这人逃到那些城的一座城，就可以存活，
6Lest perhaps the next kinsman of him whose blood was shed, pushed on by his grief should pursue, and apprehend him. if the way be too long, and take away the life of him who is not guilty of death, because he is proved to have had no hatred before against him that was slain.
6免得报血仇的，心中火热追赶他，因路远就追上，将他杀死；其实他不该死，因为他与被杀的素无仇恨。
7Therefore I command thee, that thou separate three cities at equal distance one from another.
7所以我吩咐你说，要分定三座城。
8And when the Lord thy God shall have enlarged thy borders, as he swore to thy fathers, and shall give thee all the land that he promised them,
8耶和华—你 神若照他向你列祖所起的誓扩张你的境界，将所应许赐你列祖的地全然给你，
9(Yet so, if thou keep his commandments, and do the things which I command thee this day, that thou love the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways at all times) thou shalt add to thee other three cities, and shalt double the number of the three cities aforesaid:
9你若谨守遵行我今日所吩咐的这一切诫命，爱耶和华—你的 神，常常遵行他的道，就要在这三座城之外，再添三座城，
10That innocent blood may not be shed in the midst of the land which the Lord thy God will give thee to possess, lest thou be guilty of blood.
10免得无辜之人的血流在耶和华—你 神所赐你为业的地上，流血的罪就归于你。
11But if any man hating his neighbour, lie in wait for his life, and rise and strike him, and he die, and he flee to one of the cities aforesaid,
11「若有人恨他的邻舍，埋伏着起来击杀他，以致于死，便逃到这些城的一座城，
12The ancients of his city shall send, and take him out of the place of refuge, and shall deliver him into the hand of the kinsman of him whose blood was shed, and he shall die.
12本城的长老就要打发人去，从那里带出他来，交在报血仇的手中，将他治死。
13Thou shalt not pity him, and thou shalt take away the guilt of innocent blood out of Israel, that it may be well with thee.
13你眼不可顾惜他，却要从 以色列 中除掉流无辜血的罪，使你可以得福。」
14Thou shalt not take nor remove thy neighbour’s landmark, which thy predecessors have set in thy possession. which the Lord thy God will give thee in the land that thou shalt receive to possess.
14「在耶和华—你 神所赐你承受为业之地，不可挪移你邻舍的地界，那是先人所定的。」
15One witness shall not rise up against any man, whatsoever the sin or wickedness be: but in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall stand.
15「人无论犯什么罪，作什么恶，不可凭一个人的口作见证，总要凭两三个人的口作见证才可定案。
16If a lying witness stand against a man, accusing him of transgression,
16若有凶恶的见证人起来，见证某人作恶，
17Both of them, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the Lord in the sight of the priests and the judges that shall be in those days.
17这两个争讼的人就要站在耶和华面前，和当时的祭司，并审判官面前，
18And when after most diligent inquisition, they shall find that the false witness hath told a lie against his brother:
18审判官要细细地查究，若见证人果然是作假见证的，以假见证陷害弟兄，
19They shall render to him as he meant to do to his brother, and thou shalt take away the evil out of the midst of thee:
19你们就要待他如同他想要待的弟兄。这样，就把那恶从你们中间除掉。
20That others hearing may fear, and may not dare to do such things.
20别人听见都要害怕，就不敢在你们中间再行这样的恶了。
21Thou shalt not pity him, but shalt require life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
21你眼不可顾惜，要以命偿命，以眼还眼，以牙还牙，以手还手，以脚还脚。」
