| 約書亞記-Joshua 第 20 章 |
| 20:1 | 耶和華對約書亞說， Then Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying, |
| 20:2 | 你對以色列人說，你們要照著我藉摩西對你們所說的，為自己設立庇護城 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Designate the cities of refuge, concerning which I spoke to you through Moses, |
| 20:3 | 使那無意中誤殺人的，可以逃到那裏。這些城可以作你們逃避報血仇之人的庇護處。 So that the manslayer who kills a person by mistake and unwittingly may flee there. And they will be to you as a refuge from the avenger of blood. |
| 20:4 | 那殺人的要逃到這些城中的一座，站在城門口，將他的事情說給城內的長老們聽。他們就要把他收進城中他們那裏，給他地方，使他住在他們中間。 And he shall flee to one of these cities and stand at the entrance of the gate of the city and declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city. And they shall take him into the city to themselves and give him a place; and he shall dwell among them. |
| 20:5 | 若是報血仇的追了他來，長老們不可將他交在報血仇之人的手中；因為他與別人素無仇恨，是無意中殺了人的。 And if the avenger of blood pursues after him, they shall not deliver the manslayer into his hand, for he struck his neighbor unwittingly and had not hated him previously. |
| 20:6 | 他要住在那城裏，等他站在會眾麵前受審判，直到那時的大祭司死了，然後殺人的才可以回到本城本家，就是他所逃出來的那城。 And he shall dwell in that city until he can stand before the assembly for a judgment, until the death of the high priest who is at that time; then the manslayer shall return and enter into his own city and into his own house, into the city from which he fled. |
| 20:7 | 於是，以色列人在拿弗他利山地分出加利利的基低斯，在以法蓮山地分出示劍，在猶大山地分出基列亞巴(基列亞巴就是希伯侖。) And they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali and Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim and Kiriath-arba (this is Hebron) in the hill country of Judah. |
| 20:8 | 他們又在約但河外耶利哥東麵，從流便支派中，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。 And across the Jordan at Jericho, to the east, they designated Bezer in the wilderness on 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. |
| 20:9 | 這些都是為以色列眾人和在他們中間寄居的外人所指定的城，使誤殺人的都可以逃到那裏，不死在報血仇之人的手中，等他站在會眾麵前受審判。 These were the appointed cities for all the children of Israel and for the sojourner who sojourned among them, so that anyone who killed a person by mistake might flee there and not die at the hand of the avenger of blood until he stood before the assembly. |
