Leviticus 24
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 “Command the Israeli people to continually bring to you clear oil made from pressed olives to burn in the lamps [in the Sacred Tent], in order that those lamps will burn all the time.
“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 Outside the curtain of the Very Holy Place, Aaron must take care of the lamps in my presence continually, in order that they will burn all during the night. That regulation must be obeyed forever.
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 Those lampstands that burn in my presence must be taken care of continually.
Woakpɔ akaɖi siwo le sikakaɖiti la dzi le Yehowa ŋkume la dzi ɣeawo katã ɣi.
5 “Also, [each week] you must take some fine flour and bake twelve [very big] loaves of bread, using about four quarts/liters of flour for each loaf.
“Le Dzudzɔgbe ɖe sia ɖe dzi la, nunɔlagã atsɔ abolo bɔbɔe wuieve si wotsɔ wɔ kilogram etɔ̃ me ɖe sia ɖe,
6 Put the loaves in two rows, with six loaves in each row, on the table covered with pure gold, in my presence.
ada ɖe fli eve me: ade nanɔ fli ɖeka me le sikakplɔ̃ si le tsitre ɖe Yehowa ŋkume la dzi.
7 Along each row, place [in some gold cups] some pure incense to be burned to be an offering to me instead of the bread.
Woatsɔ wɔ memee kilogram wuieve ame abolo ɖe sia ɖe. Woawu lifi ɖe fli eveawo dzi. Esia anye dzovɔsa na Yehowa,
8 New/Fresh loaves of bread must be put [on the table] each Sabbath day, to signify the agreement that will never end, that I have made with you Israeli people.
Woaɖoe Yehowa ƒe ŋkume ɖaa Dzudzɔgbe sia Dzudzɔgbe, eye miatsɔe aɖo ŋku Mawu ƒe nubabla mavɔ si wòwɔ kple Israelviwo la dzi.
9 The bread [that is taken off the table] belongs to Aaron and his sons. They must eat it in a holy place, because it is a very holy part of the offerings that are given to me by being burned.”
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 There was a man whose mother’s name was Shelomith; she was an Israeli whose father was Dibri from the tribe of Dan. And that man’s father was from Egypt. One day that man and another Israeli man started to fight inside the camp. And while they were fighting, that man cursed Yahweh [MTY].
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.
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 So the Israeli people seized him and guarded him until they could find out what Yahweh would reveal to them [that they should do to that man].
Wodee gaxɔ me va se ɖe esime Yehowa aɖe nu si woawɔe la afia.
13 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
14 “[Tie up and] take outside the camp the man who has cursed me. There all those who heard what he said must put their hands on his head [to indicate that he is guilty], and then all the people must [kill him by] throwing stones at 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 Tell the Israelis, ‘If anyone curses me, he must (endure the consequences/be punished).
Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Ne ame aɖe ƒo fi de eƒe Mawu la, ekema eɖi fɔ;
16 So anyone who curses me [MTY] must be executed. All the people must throw stones at him. It does not matter if he is a foreigner or an Israeli citizen; anyone who curses me must be executed.’
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 “Also, If anyone murders another person, he must be executed.
“‘Kpe ɖe esia ŋuti la, woawu hlɔ̃dolawo katã.
18 And anyone who kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed.
Ne ame aɖe wu lã aɖe si menye etɔ o la, ele be wòaɖoe eteƒe.
19 And if one person injures another person, the injured person is allowed to injure the person who injured him in the same way:
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 If someone breaks one of another person’s bones, that person is allowed to break one of the bones of the person who injured him. If someone gouges out an eye of another person, that person is allowed to gouge out the eye of the person who injured him. If someone knocks out the tooth of another person, that person is allowed to knock out one of his teeth. What is done to the offender must be the same as what he did to the other person.
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 Whoever kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed, but anyone who murders another person must be executed.
“‘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 That law applies to you Israelis and and also to the foreigners who live among you; I, Yahweh your God [am the one who has commanded it].”
Se siwo miatsɔ akplɔ amedzrowo la, woawo kee miatsɔ akplɔ Israelvi dzɔleaƒeawo hã, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.’”
23 Then Moses/I told the Israelis [what they must do to the man who cursed Yahweh], so they took the man outside the camp and [killed him by] throwing stones at him. They did what Yahweh commanded Moses/me [to tell them to do].
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.
