Levitikọs 24
1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
The Lord told Moses,
2 “Nye ndị Izrel niile iwu ka ha wetara gị mmanụ oliv asụrụ asụ, nke a na-agwaghị ihe, maka itinye nʼiheọkụ ime ka ọkụ oriọna na-enwu mgbe niile.
“Order the Israelites to bring you pure, pressed olive oil for the lamps, so they will always stay lit.
3 Na mpụta nke akwa mgbochi nke kpuchiri igbe Ihe Ama ahụ, nʼime ụlọ nzute, Erọn ga-amụnye oriọna ndị ahụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị mgbe niile, site nʼuhuruchi ruo nʼụtụtụ. Nke a bụ ụkpụrụ ga-adịgide nye ọgbọ niile dị nʼihu.
From evening until morning Aaron is to constantly look after the lamps continually before the Lord, outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.
4 Ihe ọkụ ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha ndị ahụ dọọ nʼelu ihe ịdọkwasị oriọna, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị ga na-enwu ọkụ mgbe niile.
He is to constantly look after the lamps placed on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord.
5 “Were ọka a kwọrọ nke ọma mee ogbe achịcha iri na abụọ. Jiri ihe ruru iko ọka asatọ mee otu ogbe achịcha ọbụla.
Using the best flour bake twelve loaves, with two-tenths of an ephah of flour per loaf.
6 Doo achịcha ndị a nʼahịrị abụọ nʼelu tebul ahụ e ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha kpụọ, nke dị nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ogbe achịcha isii ga-adị nʼotu ahịrị.
Place them in two piles, six in each pile, on the table made of pure gold that stands before the Lord.
7 Nʼogologo ahịrị ọbụla tinye insensi a na-agwaghị ihe, ka ọ bụrụ ihe nọchiri achịcha ndị a dịka onyinye nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị.
Place pure frankincense beside each pile to go with the bread to act as the ‘reminder part,’ a food offering to the Lord.
8 A ga-edo achịcha ndị a nʼihu Onyenwe anyị oge niile, ụbọchị izuike niile, nʼọnọdụ ụmụ Izrel, dịka ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi.
Every Sabbath day the bread shall be placed before the Lord, given by the Israelites as an ongoing sign of the eternal agreement.
9 Ọ dịrị Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom, bụ ndị ga-eri ya nʼime nʼebe nsọ ahụ, nʼihi na ọ bụ oke dịkarịsịrị nsọ, site nʼoke ha mgbe niile, nke sitere nʼonyinye nsure ọkụ e chere nye Onyenwe anyị.”
It is for Aaron and his descendants. They are to eat it in a holy place; for they must treat it as a most holy part of the food offerings given to the Lord. It is their share of the food offerings for all time.”
10 Otu nwokorobịa, nke nna ya bụ onye Ijipt ma nne ya bụ onye Izrel, sitere nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel pụta. O ruo na nwoke a nne ya bụ onye Izrel na otu nʼime ndị ikom Izrel malitere ịlụ ọgụ.
One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went into the Israelite camp and had a fight with an Israelite.
11 Mgbe ha na-alụ ọgụ ahụ nwoke ahụ nne ya bụ onye Izrel kwuluru Aha ahụ kọchaa ya. Nʼihi ya, a kpọrọ ya ikpe nʼihu Mosis. (Aha nne ya bụ Shelomit, nwa Dibri, onye ebo Dan.)
The Israelite woman's son cursed the name of the Lord. So they took him before Moses. (His mother's name was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan.)
12 Ha tinyere nwoke ahụ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ na-eche ka ha nụ okwu Onyenwe anyị, ịmata ihe ha ga-eme ya.
They detained him until it was clear what the Lord wanted them to do about it.
13 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
The Lord told Moses,
14 “Kpụrụ onye nkwulu ahụ gaa nʼazụ obodo. Ndị niile nụrụ okwu ahụ o kwuru ga-ebikwasị ya aka ha nʼisi. Mgbe ahụ, ọgbakọ Izrel niile ga-eji nkume tugbuo ya.
“Take the man who cursed me outside the camp. Have all who heard him curse put their hands on his head; then have everyone stone him to death.
15 Gwa ụmụ Izrel okwu sị ha, ‘Onye ọbụla kọchara Chineke ya ga-ebu mmehie ya nʼisi ya.
Tell the Israelites that anyone who curses their God will be punished for their sin.
16 Onye ọbụla kwuluru aha Onyenwe anyị ka a ga-egbu. Mmadụ niile ga-agbakọ jiri nkume tugbuo onye ahụ. Onye ọbụla kwuluru Aha ahụ, maọbụ ọbịa, maọbụ nwa afọ ala, ka a ga-egbu.
Anyone who curses the name of the Lord must to be executed. All of you must stone them to death, whether they are a foreigner who lives with you or an Israelite. If they curse my name, they must be executed.
17 “‘Onye ọbụla gburu mmadụ ka a ga-egbu.
Anyone who kills someone else must be executed.
18 Onye gburu anụ ụlọ na-abụghị nke ya, ga-akwụghachi ụgwọ ya. Ndụ ga-alara ndụ.
Anyone who kills an animal has to replace it—a life for a life.
19 Onye ọbụla merụrụ mmadụ ibe ya ahụ, a ga-emerụkwa onye ahụ ahụ nʼebe o merụrụ ibe ya ahụ.
If anyone injures someone else, whatever they've done must be done to them:
20 Onye tijiri mmadụ ọkpụkpụ, a ga-etiji ọkpụkpụ nke ya. Anya ga-alara anya, eze ga-alakwara eze. Otu e si merụọ mmadụ ahụ, ka a ga-esi merụọkwa onye merụrụ ya ahụ.
a broken bone for a broken bone, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whatever way they injured the victim, the same must be done to them.
21 Onye ọbụla gburu anụ ụlọ onye ọzọ, ga-akwụ ụgwọ ya. Ma a ga-egbu onye ọbụla gburu mmadụ.
Anyone who kills an animal has to replace it, but anyone who kills someone else must be executed.
22 Unu ga-enwe otu iwu nke ga-adị nye ndị amụrụ nʼala, dịkwara ndị ọbịa niile. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.’”
The same laws apply to foreigners who live with you as to Israelites, for I am the Lord your God.”
23 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis gwara ndị Izrel okwu, nʼihi ya ha dọkpụụrụ onye nkwulu ahụ pụọ nʼazụ obodo, jiri nkume tugbuo ya nʼebe ahụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
Moses told this to the Israelites, and they took the man who cursed the Lord outside the camp and stoned him to death. The Israelites did what the Lord ordered Moses to do.
