3 Mosebog 24
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 Byd Israeliterne at skaffe dig ren Olivenolie af knuste Frugter til Lysestagen, saa Lamperne daglig kan sættes paa.
Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clean olive oil for the light, so that a light may be burning at all times,
3 I Aabenbaringsteltet uden for Forhænget foran Vidnesbyrdet skal Aron gøre den i Stand, saa den bestandig kan brænde fra Aften til Morgen for HERRENS Aasyn. Det skal være eder en evig gyldig Anordning fra Slægt til Slægt;
Outside the veil of the ark in the Tent of meeting; let Aaron see that it is burning from evening till morning at all times before the Lord: it is a rule for ever through all your generations.
4 paa Guldlysestagen skal han holde Lamperne i Orden for HERRENS Aasyn, saa de kan brænde bestandig.
Let Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all times.
5 Du skal tage fint Hvedemel og bage tolv Kager, to Tiendedele Efa til hver Kage,
And take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in every cake.
6 og lægge dem i to Rækker, seks i hver Række, paa Guldbordet for HERRENS Aasyn;
And put them in two lines, six in a line, on the holy table before the Lord.
7 paa hver Række skal du lægge ren Røgelse, og den skal være Brødenes Offerdel, et Ildoffer for HERREN.
And on the lines of cakes put clean sweet-smelling spices, for a sign on the bread, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
8 Han skal bestandig hver Sabbatsdag lægge dem frem for HERRENS Aasyn; det skal være Israeliterne en evig Pagtspligt.
Every Sabbath day regularly, the priest is to put it in order before the Lord: it is offered for the children of Israel, an agreement made for ever.
9 De skal tilfalde Aron og hans Sønner, som skal spise dem paa et helligt Sted, thi de er højhellige; ham tilfalder de som en evig, retmæssig Del af HERRENS Ildofre.
And it will be for Aaron and his sons; they are to take it for food in a holy place: it is the most holy of all the offerings made by fire to the Lord, a rule for ever.
10 En israelitisk Kvindes Søn, hvis Fader var Ægypter, gik ud blandt Israeliterne. Da opstod der Strid i Lejren mellem den israelitiske Kvindes Søn og en Israelit,
And a son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel and had a fight with a man of Israel by the tents;
11 og den israelitiske Kvindes Søn forbandede Navnet og bespottede det. Da førte man ham til Moses. Hans Moder hed Sjelomit, en Datter af Dibri af Dans Stamme.
And the son of the Israelite woman said evil against the holy Name, with curses; and they took him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
12 Og de satte ham i Varetægt for at faa en Kendelse af HERRENS Mund.
And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord.
13 Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord said to Moses,
14 Før Spotteren uden for Lejren, og alle de, der hørte det, skal lægge deres Hænder paa hans Hoved, og derefter skal hele Menigheden stene ham.
Take the curser outside the tent-circle; and let all in whose hearing the words were said put their hands on his head, and let him be stoned by all the people.
15 Og du skal tale til Israeliterne og sige: Naar nogen bespotter sin Gud, skal han undgælde for sin Synd;
And say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on his head.
16 og den, der forbander HERRENS Navn, skal lide Døden; hele Menigheden skal stene ham; en fremmed saavel som en indfødt skal lide Døden naar han forbander Navnet.
And he who says evil against the name of the Lord will certainly be put to death; he will be stoned by all the people; the man who is not of your nation and one who is an Israelite by birth, whoever says evil against the holy Name is to be put to death.
17 Naar nogen slaar et Menneske ihjel, skal han lide Døden.
And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death.
18 Den, der slaar et Stykke Kvæg ihjel, skal erstatte det et levende Dyr for et levende Dyr.
And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.
19 Naar nogen tilføjer sin Næste Legemsskade, skal der handles med ham, som han har handlet,
And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to him;
20 Brud for Brud, Øje for Øje, Tand for Tand; samme Skade, han tilføjer en anden, skal tilføjes ham selv.
Wound for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever damage he has done, so let it be done to him.
21 Den, der slaar et Stykke Kvæg ihjel, skal erstatte det; men den, der slaar et Menneske ihjel, skal lide Døden.
He who puts a beast to death will have to make payment for it; he who puts a man to death will himself be put to death.
22 En og samme Ret skal gælde for eder; for den fremmede saavel som for den indfødte; thi jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
You are to have the same law for a man of another nation living among you as for an Israelite; for I am the Lord your God.
23 Og Moses sagde det til Israeliterne, og de førte Spotteren uden for Lejren og stenede ham; Israeliterne gjorde som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.
And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, and they took the man who had been cursing outside the tent-circle and had him stoned. The children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
