Numbers 35

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Biblija Hrvatski
1 And the Lord also spoke these things to Moses in the plains of Moab, above the Jordan, opposite Jericho:	1 Jahve Mojsiju na Moapskim poljanama kod Jordana, nasuprot Jerihonu:
2 “Instruct the sons of Israel, so that they may give to the Levites, from their possessions,	2 »Naredi Izraelcima da ustupe levitima od baštine koju posjeduju gradove gdje će stanovati i pašnjake oko gradova. To dajte levitima.
3 cities as dwelling places, with their surrounding suburbs, so that they may lodge in the towns, and so that the suburbs may be for cattle and beasts of burden.	3 Neka gradovi budu njima za stanovanje, a okolni pašnjaci neka budu za njihova goveda, njihovo blago i sve njihove životinje.
4 The suburbs shall extend from the outer walls of the cities, all around, for the space of one thousand steps.	4 Pašnjaci uz gradove koje ustupite levitima neka zahvate od gradskih zidina van do tisuću lakata naokolo.
5 Facing the east, there shall be two thousand cubits, and facing the south, similarly, there shall be two thousand cubits. Toward the sea, also, which looks out toward the west, there shall be the same measure, and the northern region shall be bounded by equal limits. And the cities shall be in the center, and the suburbs shall be outside.	5 Izmjerite od grada van dvije tisuće lakata s istočne strane, dvije tisuće lakata s južne strane, dvije tisuće lakata sa zapadne strane i sa sjeverne strane dvije tisuće lakata, tako da grad bude u sredini. To neka im budu gradski pašnjaci.
6 Now, from the towns which you shall give to the Levites, six shall be separated for the assistance of fugitives, so that he who has shed blood may flee to them. And, aside from these, there shall be forty-two other towns,	6 Od gradova koje budete dali levitima šest će ih biti gradovi-utočišta, koje ćete ustupiti da ubojica može tamo pobjeći. Tima dodajte još četrdeset i dva grada.
7 that is, all together forty-eight with their suburbs.	7 Tako će svih gradova koje ustupite levitima biti četrdeset i osam gradova s njihovim pašnjacima.
8 And concerning these cities, which shall be given from the possessions of the sons of Israel: from those who have more, more shall be taken, and from those who have less, less shall be taken. Each shall give towns to the Levites according to the measure of their inheritance.”	8 A gradove koje budete izdvajali od vlasništva Izraelaca, od onih koji ih imaju mnogo uzmite više, a manje od onih koji imaju malo. Neka svatko ustupi gradove levitima prema omjeru baštine koju bude primio.«
9 The Lord said to Moses:	9 Nadalje reče Jahve Mojsiju:
10 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: When you will have crossed the Jordan into the land of Canaan,	10 »Govori Izraelcima i reci im: ‘Kad prijeđete preko Jordana u zemlju kanaansku,
11 discern which cities ought to be for the protection of fugitives who have shed blood unwillingly.	11 označite sebi gradove koji će vam služiti kao gradovi-utočišta, kamo može pobjeći ubojica koji nehotice koga ubije.
12 And when a fugitive is in these, the kinsman of the deceased shall not be able to kill him, until he stands in the sight of the multitude and his case is judged.	12 Ti gradovi neka vam budu utočište od osvetnika, tako da ubojica ne moradne poginuti dok ne stane na sud pred zajednicu.
13 Then, among those cities which are separated for relief to fugitives,	13 Od gradova koje ustupite bit će vam šest gradova za utočište.
14 three shall be across the Jordan, and three in the land of Canaan,	14 Dodijelite tri grada s onu stranu Jordana, a tri grada u zemlji kanaanskoj. Neka to budu gradovi-utočišta.
15 as much for the sons of Israel as for newcomers and sojourners, so that anyone who has shed blood unwillingly may flee to these places.	15 Tih šest gradova neka budu za utočište kako Izraelcima tako i strancu i došljaku koji među njima borave, kamo može pobjeći tko god ubije koga nehotice.
16 If anyone will have struck someone with iron, and he who was struck will have died, then he shall be guilty of homicide, and he himself shall die.	16 Ali ako tko udari koga gvozdenim predmetom te ga usmrti, to je onda ubojica. Ubojica mora glavom platiti.
17 If he will have thrown a stone, and he who has been struck lies dead, then he shall be punished similarly.	17 Udari li ga iz ruke kamenom od kojega čovjek može poginuti i zbilja pogine, to je opet ubojica. Ubojica mora glavom platiti.
18 If he who has been struck with wood passes away, he shall be avenged by the blood of the one who struck him.	18 Ili ako ga udari iz ruke kakvim drvenim predmetom od kojega može umrijeti i zbilja umre, i to je ubojica. Ubojica mora glavom platiti.
19 The close relative of the deceased shall put to death the murderer; as soon as he apprehends him, he shall put him to death.	19 Krvni osvetnik mora sam ubojicu usmrtiti. Kad ga sretne, neka ga ubije.
20 If, out of hatred, anyone assaults a man, or throws anything at him with ill intent,	20 Nadalje, ako tko koga gurne iz mržnje ili na nj nešto baci namjerno te ga usmrti,
21 or, while being his enemy, strikes him with his hand, and so he has died, the attacker shall be guilty of murder. The kinsman of the deceased, as soon as he finds him, shall cut his throat.	21 ili ga udari rukom iz zlobe te udareni umre, napadač mora zaglaviti – on je ubojica. Krvni osvetnik neka ubojicu ubije čim ga sretne.
22 But if by chance, and without hatred	22 No gurne li ga slučajno, ne iz neprijateljstva, ili nešto na nj baci, ali ne iz zasjede,
23 or animosity, he will have done any of these things,	23 ili iz nepažnje na njega obori kakav kamen od kojega čovjek može poginuti te ga usmrti, a nije mu bio neprijatelj niti mu je zlo želio –
24 and this has been proven in the hearing of the people, and the questions have been aired, between the one who struck and the close relative,	24 tada neka zajednica prosudi između ubojice i krvnog osvetnika prema ovim pravilima:
25 then the innocent one shall be freed from the hand of the revenger, and he shall be returned by this judgment into the city to which he had fled, and he shall stay there until the high priest, who has been anointed with the holy oil, dies.	25 Zajednica mora izbaviti ubojicu iz ruku krvnog osvetnika; onda neka ga zajednica vrati u grad-utočište kamo je pobjegao; tu neka on ostane do smrti velikoga svećenika koji je bio pomazan svetim uljem.
26 If the one who has killed has been found beyond the limits of the cities which have been assigned to the exiled,	26 Ali ako ubojica ikad izađe izvan granice utočišta kamo je pobjegao,
27 and he has been struck by him who is avenging blood, he who killed him shall not be harmed.	27 pa na nj nabasa krvni osvetnik izvan granica njegova grada-utočišta te krvni osvetnik ubije ubojicu, to mu se ne računa u krvoproliće,
28 For the fugitive ought to have resided in the city, until the death of the high priest. Then, after he is dead, the one who has killed shall be returned to his own land.	28 jer ubojica mora ostati u gradu-utočištu do smrti velikoga svećenika. A poslije smrti velikoga svećenika može se vratiti na svoj posjed.
29 These things shall be a perpetual ordinance in all your habitations.	29 Neka vam takvi budu sudbeni postupci od naraštaja do naraštaja svuda gdje budete boravili.
30 The punishment of a murderer shall be based upon testimony; but no one shall be condemned upon the testimony of only one person.	30 Za svako ubojstvo čovjeka kazna smrti nad ubojicom može se izvršiti na dokaz svjedokâ. Nitko se ne može smrću kazniti na dokaz samo jednog svjedoka.
31 You shall not accept money from him who is guilty of blood, and he shall be put to death promptly.	31 Ne smijete primati otkupnine za život ubojice koji je zaslužio smrt: on mora umrijeti.
32 Exiles and fugitives, prior to the death of the high priest, are by no means able to be returned to their own cities.	32 Niti smijete primati otkupnine od bilo koga koji, pošto je pobjegao u svoj grad-utočište, hoće da se vrati i da živi na svome tlu prije smrti velikoga svećenika.
33 Do not pollute the land of your habitation, so as to stain it with the blood of the innocent; neither is it able to be expiated in any way other than by the blood of him who has shed the blood of another.	33 Nemojte oskvrnjivati zemlje u kojoj živite. A krvoprolićem zemlja se oskvrnjuje. Za zemlju na kojoj je krv prolivena pomirenje se ne može pribaviti, osim krvlju onoga koji ju je prolio.
34 And so shall your possession be cleansed, while I myself am abiding with you. For I am the Lord, who lives among the sons of Israel.”	34 Ne smije se obeščašćivati zemlja u kojoj živite i usred koje ja boravim, jer ja, Jahve, prebivam među sinovima Izraelovim.’«
