וְלֹ֤א יִשָּׁפֵךְ֙ דָּ֣ם נָקִ֔י בְּקֶ֣רֶב אַרְצְךָ֔ אֲשֶׁר֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לְךָ֖ נַחֲלָ֑ה וְהָיָ֥ה עָלֶ֖יךָ דָּמִֽים׃ (ס)
upang hindi dumanak ang dugo ng walang-sala sa gitna ng iyong lupain na ibinibigay sa iyo ng Walang-Hanggan na iyong Diyos bilang mana, at upang hindi mapasaiyo ang pananagutan sa dugo.
Targum Jonathan
that innocent blood may not be shed in your land which the Lord your God giveth you to inherit, and the guilt of the judgment of death may not be upon you.
