Levitikosy 24
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Mandidia ny Zanak’ Isiraely hitondra aminao diloilon’ oliva tsara voavely hatao fanazavana, hampirehetana jiro mandrakariva.
“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.
3 Eo ivelan’ ny efitra lamba izay manakona ny Vavolombelona, dia eo amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana, no handaharan’ i Arona azy, hatramin’ ny hariva ka hatramin’ ny maraina, eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah mandrakariva; ho lalàna mandrakizay amin’ ny taranakareo hatramin’ ny fara mandimby izany.
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.
4 Eo amin’ ny fanaovan-jiro volamena tsara no handaharany ny lela fanaovan-jiro mandrakariva eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
Those lampstands that burn in my presence must be taken care of continually.
5 Ary makà koba tsara toto, ka endaso ho mofo roa ambin’ ny folo; roa ampahafolon’ ny efaha no hatao mofo iray.
“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.
6 Ary mandahara ireo eo ambonin’ ny latabatra tsara eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, ka ataovy roa toerana, dia enina avy no iray toerana.
Put the loaves in two rows, with six loaves in each row, on the table covered with pure gold, in my presence.
7 Ary asio ditin-kazo mani-pofona madio ny isan-toerana, ka aoka ho eo amin’ ny mofo izany ho fanati-pahatsiarovana, dia fanatitra atao amin’ ny afo ho an’ i Jehovah.
Along each row, place [in some gold cups] some pure incense to be burned to be an offering to me instead of the bread.
8 Isan-tSabata no handaharany ireo mandrakariva eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; ho avy amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izany, dia fanekena mandrakizay.
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.
9 Ary ho an’ i Arona sy ny zanany izany ka hohaniny eo amin’ izay fitoerana masìna; fa masìna dia masìna ho an’ ny mpisorona izany avy amin’ ny fanatitra atao amin’ ny afo: lalàna mandrakizay izany.
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.”
10 Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray nivoaka nankeo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, vehivavy Isiraelita no reniny, fa lehilahy Egyptiana no rainy; ary niady teo an-toby io zanaky ny vehivavy Isiraelita io sy ny lehilahy Isiraelita anankiray.
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].
11 Ary niteny ratsy ny Anarana ilay zanaky ny vehivavy Isiraelita ka nanozona dia nentina tany amin’ i Mosesy izy (Sebomita no anaran-dreniny, zanakavavin’ i Dibry avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Dana izy);
12 ary nambenany izy, mandra-paha-fantany izay ho didin’ i Jehovah.
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].
13 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
14 Avoahy ho eny ivelan’ ny toby ilay nanozona, ary aoka izay rehetra nandre azy hametraka ny tànany amin’ ny lohany, ary aoka ny fiangonana rehetra hitora-bato azy.
“[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.
15 Ary mitenena amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Na iza na iza no mamingavinga an’ Andriamaniny dia ho meloka,
Tell the Israelis, ‘If anyone curses me, he must (endure the consequences/be punished).
16 Fa izay miteny ratsy ny anaran’ i Jehovah dia hatao maty mihitsy; hitora-bato azy tokoa ny fiangonana rehetra; na vahiny na tompon-tany, raha miteny ratsy ny Anarana, dia hatao maty izy.
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.’
17 Ary izay mahafaty olona dia hatao maty tokoa.
“Also, If anyone murders another person, he must be executed.
18 Fa izay mahafaty biby fiompy dia hanonitra azy: biby solon’ ny biby.
And anyone who kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed.
19 Ary raha misy obona manakilema ny namany, dia toy izay nataony no hatao aminy kosa:
And if one person injures another person, the injured person is allowed to injure the person who injured him in the same way:
20 tapaka solon’ ny tapaka, maso solon’ ny maso, nify solon’ ny nify; tahaka ny kilema nataony tamin’ ny olona no hatao aminy kosa.
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.
21 Ary izay mahafaty biby fiompy dia hanonitra azy; fa izay mahafaty olona kosa dia hatao maty.
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.
22 Fitsipika iray no hitondrana anareo, na vahiny na tompon-tany; fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.
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].”
23 Ary Mosesy niteny tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia navoakany teny ivelan’ ny toby ilay nanozona ka notorahany vato. Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia nanao araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy.
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].
