Leviticus 24
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee the finest and dearest oil of olives, to furnish the lamps continually,
Byd Israeliterne at skaffe dig ren Olivenolie af knuste Frugter til Lysestagen, så Lamperne daglig kan sættes på.
3 Without the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the covenant. And Aaron shall set them from evening until morning before the Lord, by a perpetual service and rite in your generations.
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 They shall be set upon the most pure candlestick before the Lord continually.
på Guldlysestagen skal han holde Lamperne i Orden for HERRENs Åsyn, så de kan brænde bestandig.
5 Thou shalt take also fine hour, and shalt bake twelve leaves thereof, two tenths shall be in every loaf:
Du skal tage fint Hvedemel og bage tolv Kager, to Tiendedele Efa til hver Kage,
6 And thou shalt set them six and six one against another upon the most clean table before the Lord:
og lægge dem i to Rækker, seks i hver Række, på Guldbordet for HERRENs Åsyn;
7 And thou shalt put upon them the dearest frankincense, that the bread may be for a memorial of the oblation of the Lord.
på hver Række skal du lægge ren Røgelse, og den skal være Brødenes Offerdel, et Ildoffer for HERREN.
8 Every sabbath they shall be changed before the Lord, being received of the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant:
Han skal bestandig hver Sabbatsdag lægge dem frem for HERRENs Åsyn; det skal være Israeliterne en evig Pagtspligt.
9 And they shall be Aaron’s and his sons’, that they may eat them in the holy place: because it is most holy of the sacrifices of the Lord by a perpetual right.
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 And behold there went out the son of a woman of Israel, whom she had of an Egyptian, among the children of Israel, and fell at words in the camp with a man of Israel.
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 And when he had blasphemed the name, and had cursed it, he was brought to Moses: (now his mother was called Salumith, the daughter of Dabri, 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 And they put him into prison, till they might know what the Lord would command.
Og de satte ham i Varetægt for at få en Kendelse af HERRENs Mund.
13 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
14 Saying: Bring forth the blasphemer without the camp, and let them that heard him, put their hands upon his head, and let all the people 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 thou shalt speak to the children of Israel: the man that curseth his God, shall bear his sin:
Og du skal tale til Israeliterne og sige: Når nogen bespotter sin Gud, skal han undgælde for sin Synd;
16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die: all the multitude shall stone him, whether he be a native or a stranger. He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die.
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 He that striketh and killeth a man, dying let him die.
Når nogen slår et Menneske ihjel, skal han lide Døden.
18 He that killeth a beast, shall make it good, that is to say, shall give beast for beast.
Den, der slår et Stykke Kvæg ihjel, skal erstatte det et levende Dyr for et levende Dyr.
19 He that giveth a blemish to any of his neighbours: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:
Når nogen tilføjer sin Næste Legemsskade, skal der handles med ham, som han har handlet,
20 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, shall he restore. What blemish he gave, the like shall he be compelled to suffer.
Brud for Brud, Øje for Øje, Tand for Tand; samme Skade, han tilføjer en anden, skal tilføjes ham selv.
21 He that striketh a beast, shall render another. He that striketh a man shall be punished.
Den, der slår et Stykke Kvæg ihjel, skal erstatte det; men den, der slår et Menneske ihjel, skal lide Døden.
22 Let there be equal judgment among you, whether he be a stranger, or a native that offends: because 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 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel: and they brought forth him that had blasphemed, without the camp, and they stoned him. And the children of Israel 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.
