20 — Josue

1And the Lord spoke to Josue, saying: Speak to the children of Israel and say to them:E il Signore parlò a Giosuè, e disse: Parla a' figliuoli d'Israele, e di' loro:AND our Lord spake to Iosue, saying: Speake to the children of Israel, and say to them:Et locutus est Dominus ad Josue, dicens: Loquere filiis Israël, et dic eis: 2Appoint cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you by the hand of Moses:Separate le città pe' fuggiaschi, delle quali io vi parlai per mezzo di Mosè:Separate the cities of the fugitiues, of the which I spake to you by the hand of Moyses;Separate urbes fugitivorum, de quibus locutus sum ad vos per manum Moysi: 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.Nelle quali chiunque avrà ucciso un uomo senza volerlo possa ricoverarsi: e possa sottrarsi all'ira del prossimo parente, che vuol far vendetta dell'ucciso.that he may flee to them whosoeuer shal strike a soule vnwitting: and may escape the wrath of the nigh kinseman, which is the reuenger of bloud:ut confugiat ad eas quicumque animam percusserit nescius, et possit evadere iram proximi, qui ultor est sanguinis: 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.Quando quegli si sarà ricoverato in una di queste città, si presenterà alla porta della città, ed esporrà a' seniori di quella città le prove di sua innocenza: e dopo questo lo ricetteranno, e gli daran luogo da abitare.when he shal be fled to one of these cities: he shal stand before the gate of the citie, and shal speake to the ancientes of that citie those thinges, that may proue him selfe innocent: and so they shal receiue him, and geue him place to inhabite.cum ad unam harum confugerit civitatum, stabit ante portam civitatis, et loquetur senioribus urbis illius ea quæ se comprobent innocentem: sicque suscipient eum, et dabunt ei locum ad habitandum. 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,E se il vendicatore dell'ucciso gli terrà dietro, nol daranno nelle mani di lui: perchè egli ha ucciso il suo prossimo per ignoranza, e non è provato ch'ei fosse due giorni, o tre giorni prima suo nemico.And when the reuenger of the bloud shal pursew him, they shal not deliuer him into his handes: because he stroke his neighbour by ignorance, neitheir is he proued to be his enemie two or three dayes before.Cumque ultor sanguinis eum fuerit persecutus, non tradent in manus ejus: quia ignorans percussit proximum ejus, nec ante biduum triduumve ejus probatur inimicus. 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.E abiterà in quella città, fino a tanto ch'ei comparisca in giudizio per render ragione di quel che ha fatto, e muoia il sommo sacerdote di quel tempo. Allora l'omicida tornerà, e rientrerà nella città, e nella sua casa, donde era fuggito.And he shal dwel in that citie, til he stand before iudgement rendring a cause of his fact, and the high priest die, which shal be at that time: then shal the manslaer returne, and enter into the citie and his house out of the which he had fled.Et habitabit in civitate illa, donec stet ante judicium, causam reddens facti sui, et moriatur sacerdos magnus, qui fuerit in illo tempore: tunc revertetur homicida, et ingredietur civitatem et domum suam de qua fugerat.

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.Furono adunque stabilite Cedes nella Galilea sulla montagna di Nephtali, e Sichem sul monte Ephraim, e Cariath-Arbe, o sia Hebron sulle montagne di Giuda.And they appointed Cedes in Galilee of the mount of Nepthali, and Sichem in the mount of Ephraim, and Cariatharbee, the same is Hebron in the mount of IudaDecreveruntque Cedes in Galilæa montis Nephthali, et Sichem in monte Ephraim, et Cariatharbe, ipsa est Hebron in monte Juda. 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 Gad, and Gaulon in Basan of the tribe of Manasses.E di là dal Giordano all'oriente di Gerico stabiliron Bosor, la quale è situata nella pianura del deserto, della tribù di Ruben, e Ramoth in Galaad della tribù di Gad, e Gaulon in Basan della tribù di Manasse.And beyond Iordan against the East quarter of Iericho, they appointed Bosor, which is situated in the champaine wildernes of the tribe of Ruben, and Ramoth in Galaad of the tribe of Gad, and Gaulon in Basan of the tribe of Manasses.Et trans Jordanem contra orientalem plagam Jericho, statuerunt Bosor, quæ sita est in campestri solitudine de tribu Ruben, et Ramoth in Galaad de tribu Gad, et Gaulon in Basan de tribu Manasse. 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.Queste città furono stabilite per tutti i figliuoli d'Israele, e pei forestieri abitanti con essi: affinchè in esse si ricoverasse chiunque avesse ucciso un uomo senza volerlo, e non morisse per la mano del parente bramoso di far vendetta del sangue sparso, fino a tanto che quegli comparisse dinanzi al popolo a trattar la sua causa.These cities were appointed to al the children of Israel, and to the strangesrs, that dwelt among them: that he might flee to them which vnwittingly had striken a soule, and might not die in the hand of the kinseman, coueting to reuenge the bloud shed, vntil he might stand before the people to declare his cause.Hæ civitates constitutæ sunt cunctis filiis Israël, et advenis qui habitabant inter eos, ut fugeret ad eas qui animam nescius percussisset, et non moreretur in manu proximi, effusum sanguinem vindicare cupientis, donec staret ante populum expositurus causam suam.
