1And the Lord spoke to Josue, saying: Speak to the children of Israel and say to them:
1耶和華曉諭 約書亞 說：
2Appoint cities of refuge, a of which I spoke to you by the hand of Moses:
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，
3That whosoever shall kill a person unawares may flee to them: and may escape the wrath of the kinsman, who is the avenger of blood:
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。
4And when he shall flee to one of these cities: he shall stand before the gate of the city, and shall speak to the ancients of that city, such things as prove him innocent: and so shall they receive him, and give him a place to dwell in.
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。
5And when the avenger of blood shall pursue him, they shall not deliver him into his hands, because he slew his neighbour unawares, and is not proved to have been his enemy two or three days before.
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。
6And he shall dwell in that city, till he stand before judgment to give an account of his fact, and till the death of the high priest, who shall be at that time: then shall the manslayer return, and go into his own city and house from whence he fled.
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。」
7And they appointed Cedes in Galilee of mount Nephtali, and Sichem in mount Ephraim, and Cariath-Arbe, the same is Hebron in the mountain of Juda.
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 ）；
8And beyond the Jordan to the east of Jericho, they appointed Bosor, which is upon the plain of the wilderness of the tribe of Ruben, and Ramoth in Galaad of the tribe of Cad, and Gaulon in Basan of the tribe of Manasses.
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 。
9These cities were appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the strangers, that dwelt among them: that whosoever had killed a person unawares might flee to them, and not die by the hand of the kinsman, coveting to revenge the blood that was shed, until he should stand before the people to lay open his cause.
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 。
