Leviticus 24
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
El Señor le dijo a Moisés,
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.
“Ordena a los israelitas que te traigan aceite de oliva puro y prensado para las lámparas, para que siempre estén encendidas.
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.
Desde la tarde hasta la mañana Aarón debe cuidar las lámparas continuamente ante el Señor, fuera del velo del Testimonio en el Tabernáculo de Reunión. Esta regulación es para todos los tiempos y para todas las generaciones futuras.
4 Those lampstands that burn in my presence must be taken care of continually.
Debe cuidar constantemente las lámparas puestas en el candelabro de oro puro ante el Señor.
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.
“Usando la mejor harina hornea doce panes, con dos décimas de un efa de harina por cada pan.
6 Put the loaves in two rows, with six loaves in each row, on the table covered with pure gold, in my presence.
Colócalos en dos pilas, seis en cada pila, sobre la mesa de oro puro que está delante del Señor.
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.
Poner incienso puro al lado de cada pila para que vaya con el pan y sirva de recordatorio, una ofrenda al Señor.
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.
Cada sábado se pondrá el pan delante del Señor, dado por los israelitas como una señal continua del acuerdo eterno.
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.”
Es para Aarón y sus descendientes. Deben comerlo en un lugar santo, pues deben tratarlo como una parte santísima de las ofrendas de alimentos dadas al Señor. Es su parte de las ofrendas de comida para siempre”.
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].
Un día un hombre que tenía una madre israelita y un padre egipcio entró en el campamento israelita y tuvo una pelea con un israelita.
El hijo de la mujer israelita maldijo el nombre del Señor. Así que lo llevaron ante Moisés. (Su madre se llamaba Selomit, hija de Dibri, de la tribu de Dan).
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].
Lo detuvieron hasta que quedó claro lo que el Señor quería que hicieran al respecto.
13 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
El Señor le dijo a Moisés,
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.
“Lleva al hombre que me maldijo fuera del campamento. Que todos los que le oyeron maldecir pongan sus manos sobre su cabeza; y que todos le apedreen hasta la muerte.
15 Tell the Israelis, ‘If anyone curses me, he must (endure the consequences/be punished).
Diles a los israelitas que cualquiera que maldiga a su Dios será castigado por su pecado.
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.’
Cualquiera que maldiga el nombre del Señor debe ser ejecutado. Todos ustedeslo apedrearán hasta la muerte, tanto si es un extranjero que vive con ustedes como si es un israelita. Si maldicen mi nombre, deben ser ejecutados.
17 “Also, If anyone murders another person, he must be executed.
“Cualquiera que mate a alguien más debe ser ejecutado.
18 And anyone who kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed.
Cualquiera que mate a un animal tiene que reemplazarlo. Una vida por otra.
19 And if one person injures another person, the injured person is allowed to injure the person who injured him in the same way:
Si alguien hiere a otra persona, lo que haya hecho debe serle hecho:
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.
un hueso roto por un hueso roto, ojo por ojo, diente por diente. Sea cual sea la forma en que hayan herido a la víctima, se les debe hacer lo mismo.
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.
Cualquiera que mate un animal tiene que reemplazarlo, pero cualquiera que mate a alguien más debe ser ejecutado.
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].”
A los extranjeros que viven con ustedes se les aplican las mismas leyes que a los israelitas, porque yo soy el Señor su Dios”.
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].
Moisés dijo esto a los israelitas, y ellos llevaron al hombre que maldijo al Señor fuera del campamento y lo apedrearon hasta la muerte. Los israelitas hicieron lo que el Señor le ordenó a Moisés que hiciera.
