Levitikọs 24
1 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
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.
“Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil beaten from olives to be used in the lamp, that the light may burn continually.
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.
Outside the curtain before the covenant decrees in the tent of meeting, Aaron must continually, from evening to morning, keep the lamp lit before Yahweh. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations.
4 Ihe ọkụ ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha ndị ahụ dọọ nʼelu ihe ịdọkwasị oriọna, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị ga na-enwu ọkụ mgbe niile.
The high priest must always keep the lamps lit before Yahweh, the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold.
5 “Were ọka a kwọrọ nke ọma mee ogbe achịcha iri na abụọ. Jiri ihe ruru iko ọka asatọ mee otu ogbe achịcha ọbụla.
You must take fine flour and bake twelve loaves with it. There must be two-tenths of an ephah in each 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.
Then you must set them in two rows, six in a row, on the table of pure gold before Yahweh.
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.
You must put pure incense along each row of loaves as a representative offering. This incense will be burnt for Yahweh.
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 high priest must regularly set out the bread before Yahweh on behalf of the people of Israel, as a sign of an everlasting covenant.
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.”
This offering will be for Aaron and his sons, and they are to eat it in a place that is holy, for it is a portion from the offerings to Yahweh made by fire.”
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.
Now it happened that the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went among the people of Israel. This son of the Israelite woman fought against an Israelite man in the camp.
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 son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the name of Yahweh and cursed God, so the people brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the 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 held him in custody until Yahweh himself should declare his will to them.
13 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
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 has cursed God outside the camp. All who heard him must lay their hands on his head, and then the entire assembly must stone him.
15 Gwa ụmụ Izrel okwu sị ha, ‘Onye ọbụla kọchara Chineke ya ga-ebu mmehie ya nʼisi ya.
You must explain to the people of Israel and say, 'Whoever curses his God must carry his own guilt.
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.
He who blasphemes the name of Yahweh must surely be put to death. All the assembly must certainly stone him, whether he is a foreigner or a native-born Israelite. If anyone blasphemes the name of Yahweh, he must be put to death.
17 “‘Onye ọbụla gburu mmadụ ka a ga-egbu.
If anyone strikes down another human being, he must certainly be put to death.
18 Onye gburu anụ ụlọ na-abụghị nke ya, ga-akwụghachi ụgwọ ya. Ndụ ga-alara ndụ.
If anyone strikes down someone's animal, he must pay it back, life for life.
19 Onye ọbụla merụrụ mmadụ ibe ya ahụ, a ga-emerụkwa onye ahụ ahụ nʼebe o merụrụ ibe ya ahụ.
If anyone injures his neighbor, it must be done to him as he did to his neighbor:
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.
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As he has caused an injury to a person, so must it also be done to him.
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 must pay it back, and anyone who kills a person must be put to death.
22 Unu ga-enwe otu iwu nke ga-adị nye ndị amụrụ nʼala, dịkwara ndị ọbịa niile. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.’”
You must have the same law for both the foreigner and the native-born Israelite, for I am Yahweh 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.
So Moses spoke to the people of Israel, and the people brought the man outside the camp, the one who had cursed Yahweh. They stoned him with stones. The people of Israel carried out the command of Yahweh to Moses.
