申命记 19
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
避難城(A)
19 “耶和華你的 神把列國的民剪除了，耶和華你的 神把他們的地賜給了你，你趕走了那些國民，住在他們的城市和房屋以後， 2 你就要在耶和華你的 神賜給你得為業的地上，為自己分別三座城。 3 你要為自己預備道路，又要把耶和華你的 神給你作產業的地分為三區，使誤殺人的可以逃到那裡去。
4 “誤殺人的逃到那裡，就可以存活，規例是這樣：無意殺了人，彼此又素無仇恨的， 5 譬如他和鄰舍同進森林砍伐樹木，他手裡揮著斧子砍伐樹木的時候，斧頭竟脫了把，落在鄰舍身上，以致那人死了，他就可以逃到這些城中的一座去，這樣他就可以活命， 6 免得報血仇的，心中怒火如焚的時候，追趕那誤殺人的，因為路途長遠，就追上了他，把他殺死；其實他沒有該死的罪，因為他和那人素無仇恨。 7 因此我吩咐你：‘你要為自己分別三座城。’ 8 如果耶和華你的 神照著他向你列祖起過的誓，擴張你的境界，把他應許賜給你列祖的全地，都賜給了你， 9 如果你謹守遵行我今日吩咐你的這一切誡命，愛耶和華你的 神，常常行他的道路，你就要在這三座城以外，再加添三座城； 10 免得無辜人的血，流在耶和華你的 神要賜給你作產業的地上，以致流人血的罪歸在你身上。
11 “但是，如果有人恨他的鄰舍，埋伏著等他，起來攻擊他，把他殺死了，然後逃到這些城中的一座； 12 他本城的長老要派人去，把他從那裡帶出來，交在報血仇的人手中，好把他處死。 13 你的眼睛不可顧惜他，卻要把流無辜人的血的罪從以色列中除掉，好使你平安無事。
不可挪移地界
14 “在耶和華你的 神要賜給你承受為業的地上，不可挪移你鄰舍的地界，因為那是先人立定的。
證人的條例
15 “人無論有甚麼過錯，或是犯了甚麼罪惡，不可憑著一個見證人的指證，總要憑著兩個見證人的口供，或是三個見證人的口供，才可以確定。 16 如果有強橫的見證人起來，指證某人作惡， 17 那麼，兩個彼此爭訟的人，就要站在耶和華面前，和當時在職的祭司與審判官面前。 18 審判官要仔細查問；如果見證人是個假證人，作假見證陷害自己的兄弟， 19 你們就要像他想怎樣對待自己的兄弟一樣對待他，這樣，你就把那惡從你們中間除掉。 20 其餘的人聽見了，就必害怕，不敢再在你中間行這樣的惡事了。 21 你的眼睛不可顧惜，要以命償命，以眼還眼，以牙還牙，以手還手，以腳還腳。”

Laws Concerning Cities of Refuge
19 “When (A)the Lord your God cuts off the nations whose land the Lord your God is giving you, and you dispossess them and dwell in their cities and in their houses, 2 (B)you shall set apart three cities for yourselves in the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess. 3 You shall measure the distances[a] and divide into three parts the area of the land that the Lord your God gives you as a possession, so that any manslayer can flee to them.
4 “This is the provision for (C)the manslayer, who by fleeing there may save his life. If anyone kills his neighbor unintentionally without having hated him in the past— 5 as when someone goes into the forest with his neighbor to cut wood, and his hand swings the axe to cut down a tree, and the head slips from the handle and strikes his neighbor so that he dies—he may flee to one of these cities and live, 6 lest (D)the avenger of blood in hot anger pursue the manslayer and overtake him, because the way is long, and strike him fatally, though the man did not deserve to die, since he had not hated his neighbor in the past. 7 Therefore I command you, You shall set apart three cities. 8 (E)And if the Lord your God enlarges your territory, (F)as he has sworn to your fathers, and (G)gives you all the land that he promised to give to your fathers— 9 provided you are careful to keep all this commandment, which I command you today, by loving the Lord your God and by walking ever in his ways—(H)then you shall add three other cities to these three, 10 lest innocent blood be shed in your land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance, and so the guilt of bloodshed be upon you.
11 “But if anyone hates his neighbor and lies in wait for him and attacks him (I)and strikes him fatally so that he dies, and he flees into one of these cities, 12 then the elders of his city shall send and take him from there, and hand him over to the avenger of blood, so that he may die. 13 (J)Your eye shall not pity him, (K)but you shall purge the guilt of innocent blood[b] from Israel, so that it may be well with you.
Property Boundaries
14 (L)“You shall not move your neighbor's landmark, which the men of old have set, in the inheritance that you will hold in the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess.
Laws Concerning Witnesses
15 “A single witness shall not suffice against a person for any crime or for any wrong in connection with any offense that he has committed. (M)Only on the evidence of two witnesses or of three witnesses shall a charge be established. 16 If (N)a malicious witness arises to accuse a person of wrongdoing, 17 then both parties to the dispute shall appear before the Lord, (O)before the priests and the judges who are in office in those days. 18 The judges shall (P)inquire diligently, and if the witness is a false witness and has accused his brother falsely, 19 (Q)then you shall do to him as he had meant to do to his brother. So you shall purge the evil[c] from your midst. 20 And the rest (R)shall hear and fear, and shall never again commit any such evil among you. 21 (S)Your eye shall not pity. (T)It shall be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

New International Version
Cities of Refuge(A)
19 When the Lord your God has destroyed the nations whose land he is giving you, and when you have driven them out and settled in their towns and houses,(B) 2 then set aside for yourselves three cities in the land the Lord your God is giving you to possess. 3 Determine the distances involved and divide into three parts the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that a person who kills someone may flee for refuge to one of these cities.
4 This is the rule concerning anyone who kills a person and flees there for safety—anyone who kills a neighbor unintentionally, without malice aforethought. 5 For instance, a man may go into the forest with his neighbor to cut wood, and as he swings his ax to fell a tree, the head may fly off and hit his neighbor and kill him. That man may flee to one of these cities and save his life. 6 Otherwise, the avenger of blood(C) might pursue him in a rage, overtake him if the distance is too great, and kill him even though he is not deserving of death, since he did it to his neighbor without malice aforethought. 7 This is why I command you to set aside for yourselves three cities.
8 If the Lord your God enlarges your territory,(D) as he promised(E) on oath to your ancestors, and gives you the whole land he promised them, 9 because you carefully follow all these laws I command you today—to love the Lord your God and to walk always in obedience to him(F)—then you are to set aside three more cities. 10 Do this so that innocent blood(G) will not be shed in your land, which the Lord your God is giving you as your inheritance, and so that you will not be guilty of bloodshed.(H)
11 But if out of hate someone lies in wait, assaults and kills a neighbor,(I) and then flees to one of these cities, 12 the killer shall be sent for by the town elders, be brought back from the city, and be handed over to the avenger of blood to die. 13 Show no pity.(J) You must purge from Israel the guilt of shedding innocent blood,(K) so that it may go well with you.
14 Do not move your neighbor’s boundary stone set up by your predecessors in the inheritance you receive in the land the Lord your God is giving you to possess.(L)
Witnesses
15 One witness is not enough to convict anyone accused of any crime or offense they may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.(M)
16 If a malicious witness(N) takes the stand to accuse someone of a crime, 17 the two people involved in the dispute must stand in the presence of the Lord before the priests and the judges(O) who are in office at the time. 18 The judges must make a thorough investigation,(P) and if the witness proves to be a liar, giving false testimony against a fellow Israelite, 19 then do to the false witness as that witness intended to do to the other party.(Q) You must purge the evil from among you. 20 The rest of the people will hear of this and be afraid,(R) and never again will such an evil thing be done among you. 21 Show no pity:(S) life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.(T)
