Leviticus 24
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee the finest and dearest oil of olives, to furnish the lamps continually,
“Gblɔ na Israelviwo be woana amiti ƒe ami nyuitɔ wò nàde akaɖiawo me le agbadɔ la me, ale be akaɖiawo nanɔ bibim ɣe sia ɣi.
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.
Le Mawu ƒe Agbadɔ la ƒe xɔmetsovɔ megbe la, Aron akpɔ akaɖiawo dzi woanɔ bibim zã kple keli le Yehowa ŋkume. Esia nye se mavɔ na Israelviwo tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
4 They shall be set upon the most pure candlestick before the Lord continually.
Woakpɔ akaɖi siwo le sikakaɖiti la dzi le Yehowa ŋkume la dzi ɣeawo katã ɣi.
5 Thou shalt take also fine hour, and shalt bake twelve leaves thereof, two tenths shall be in every loaf:
“Le Dzudzɔgbe ɖe sia ɖe dzi la, nunɔlagã atsɔ abolo bɔbɔe wuieve si wotsɔ wɔ kilogram etɔ̃ me ɖe sia ɖe,
6 And thou shalt set them six and six one against another upon the most clean table before the Lord:
ada ɖe fli eve me: ade nanɔ fli ɖeka me le sikakplɔ̃ si le tsitre ɖe Yehowa ŋkume la dzi.
7 And thou shalt put upon them the dearest frankincense, that the bread may be for a memorial of the oblation of the Lord.
Woatsɔ wɔ memee kilogram wuieve ame abolo ɖe sia ɖe. Woawu lifi ɖe fli eveawo dzi. Esia anye dzovɔsa na Yehowa,
8 Every sabbath they shall be changed before the Lord, being received of the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant:
Woaɖoe Yehowa ƒe ŋkume ɖaa Dzudzɔgbe sia Dzudzɔgbe, eye miatsɔe aɖo ŋku Mawu ƒe nubabla mavɔ si wòwɔ kple Israelviwo la dzi.
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.
Aron kple via ŋutsuwo aɖu abolo la le teƒe tɔxɛ si woɖo na aboloawo ɖuɖu, elabena esiawoe nye dzovɔ si wosa na Yehowa le eƒe se mavɔ la nu. Wonye nu kɔkɔewo ƒe nu kɔkɔewo.”
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.
Gbe ɖeka, le asaɖa la me la, ɖekakpui aɖe si dada nye Israel nyɔnu, eye fofoa nye Egiptetɔ la wɔ avu kple Israel ŋutsu aɖe.
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: )
Le avu sia wɔwɔ me la, Israel nyɔnu la ƒe vi gblɔ busunya ɖe Mawu ŋu, eye wohee va Mose gbɔ be wòadrɔ̃ ʋɔnui. (Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Selomit, Dibri ƒe vinyɔnu, tso Dan ƒe to la me.)
12 And they put him into prison, till they might know what the Lord would command.
Wodee gaxɔ me va se ɖe esime Yehowa aɖe nu si woawɔe la afia.
13 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
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.
“Kplɔ busunyagblɔla la yi asaɖa la godo. Ame siwo katã se eƒe busunyagbɔgblɔ la ada asi ɖe eƒe ta dzi, eye takpelawo katã aƒu kpee.
15 And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel: the man that curseth his God, shall bear his sin:
Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Ne ame aɖe ƒo fi de eƒe Mawu la, ekema eɖi fɔ;
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.
woawu ame sia ame si ado vlo Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ. Ame sia ame si le ameha la me aƒu kpee. Eɖanye dzɔleaƒea loo alo amedzro, ne edo vlo Ŋkɔ la ko, woawui.
17 He that striketh and killeth a man, dying let him die.
“‘Kpe ɖe esia ŋuti la, woawu hlɔ̃dolawo katã.
18 He that killeth a beast, shall make it good, that is to say, shall give beast for beast.
Ne ame aɖe wu lã aɖe si menye etɔ o la, ele be wòaɖoe eteƒe.
19 He that giveth a blemish to any of his neighbours: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:
To si woahe na ame aɖe si awɔ nuvevi ame aɖe lae nye be woawɔ nuvevi ma tututu eya hã le mɔ ma ke nu:
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.
ƒuŋeŋe ɖe ƒuŋeŋe teƒe, ŋku ɖe ŋku teƒe, aɖu ɖe aɖu teƒe. Nu sia nu si ame aɖe awɔ nɔvia la, woawɔ nu ma tututu eya hã.
21 He that striketh a beast, shall render another. He that striketh a man shall be punished.
“‘Megale egblɔm be ne ame aɖe wu ame bubu aɖe ƒe lã la, ele be wòaɖo eteƒe, eye ne ame aɖe wu ame la, woawu eya hã.
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.
Se siwo miatsɔ akplɔ amedzrowo la, woawo kee miatsɔ akplɔ Israelvi dzɔleaƒeawo hã, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.’”
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.
Ale Mose ƒo nu na Israelviwo eye wohe ɖekakpui la yi asaɖa la godo, eye woƒu kpee va se ɖe esime wòku abe ale si Yehowa de se na Mose ene.
