Leviticus 24

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

2 “Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.

Byd Israeliterne at skaffe dig ren Olivenolie af knuste Frugter til Lysestagen, så Lamperne daglig kan sættes på.

3 Outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps continually before the LORD from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the generations to come.

I Åbenbaringsteltet uden for Forhænget foran Vidnesbyrdet skal Aron gøre den i Stand, så den bestandig kan brænde fra Aften til Morgen for HERRENs Åsyn. Det skal være eder en evig gyldig Anordning fra Slægt til Slægt;

4 He shall tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually.

på Guldlysestagen skal han holde Lamperne i Orden for HERRENs Åsyn, så de kan brænde bestandig.

5 You are also to take fine flour and bake twelve loaves, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf,

Du skal tage fint Hvedemel og bage tolv Kager, to Tiendedele Efa til hver Kage,

6 and set them in two rows—six per row—on the table of pure gold before the LORD.

og lægge dem i to Rækker, seks i hver Række, på Guldbordet for HERRENs Åsyn;

7 And you are to place pure frankincense near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion for the bread, an offering made by fire to the LORD.

på hver Række skal du lægge ren Røgelse, og den skal være Brødenes Offerdel, et Ildoffer for HERREN.

8 Every Sabbath day the bread is to be set out before the LORD on behalf of the Israelites as a permanent covenant.

Han skal bestandig hver Sabbatsdag lægge dem frem for HERRENs Åsyn; det skal være Israeliterne en evig Pagtspligt.

9 It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place; for it is to him a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to the LORD—his portion forever.”

De skal tilfalde Aron og hans Sønner, som skal spise dem på et helligt Sted, thi de er højhellige; ham tilfalder de som en evig, retmæssig Del af HERRENs Ildofre.

10 Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite.

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,

11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse. So they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)

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.

12 They placed him in custody until the will of the LORD should be made clear to them.

Og de satte ham i Varetægt for at få en Kendelse af HERRENs Mund.

13 Then the LORD said to Moses,

Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:

14 “Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole assembly stone him.

Før Spotteren uden for Lejren. og alle de, der hørte det, skal lægge deres Hænder på hans Hoved, og derefter skal hele Menigheden stene ham.

15 And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘If anyone curses his God, he shall bear the consequences of his sin.

Og du skal tale til Israeliterne og sige: Når nogen bespotter sin Gud, skal han undgælde for sin Synd;

16 Whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD must surely be put to death; the whole assembly must surely stone him, whether he is a foreign resident or native; if he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.

og den, der forbander HERRENs Navn, skal lide Døden; hele Menigheden skal stene ham; en fremmed såvel som en indfødt skal lide Døden når han forbander Navnet.

17 And if a man takes the life of anyone else, he must surely be put to death.

Når nogen slår et Menneske ihjel, skal han lide Døden.

18 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution—life for life.

Den, der slår et Stykke Kvæg ihjel, skal erstatte det et levende Dyr for et levende Dyr.

19 If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him:

Når nogen tilføjer sin Næste Legemsskade, skal der handles med ham, som han har handlet,

20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Just as he injured the other person, the same must be inflicted on him.

Brud for Brud, Øje for Øje, Tand for Tand; samme Skade, han tilføjer en anden, skal tilføjes ham selv.

21 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death.

Den, der slår et Stykke Kvæg ihjel, skal erstatte det; men den, der slår et Menneske ihjel, skal lide Døden.

22 You are to have the same standard of law for the foreign resident and the native; for I am the LORD your God.’”

En og samme Ret skal gælde for eder; for den fremmede såvel som for den indfødte; thi jeg er HERREN eders Gud!

23 Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. So the Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Og Moses sagde det til Israeliterne, og de førte Spotteren uden for Lejren og stenede ham; Israeliterne gjorde som HERREN havde pålagt Moses.
