3 Mosebok 24
1 Og Herren talte til Moses og sa:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Byd Israels barn at de skal la dig få ren olje av støtte oliven til lysestaken, så lampene kan settes op til enhver tid.
“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 Utenfor vidnesbyrdets forheng i sammenkomstens telt skal Aron alltid holde dem i stand fra aften til morgen for Herrens åsyn; det skal være en evig lov for eder, fra slekt til slekt.
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 På lysestaken av rent gull skal han alltid holde lampene i stand for Herrens åsyn.
Those lampstands that burn in my presence must be taken care of continually.
5 Du skal ta fint mel og bake tolv kaker av det; hver kake skal være to tiendedeler av en efa.
“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 Og du skal legge dem i to rader, seks i hver rad, på bordet av rent gull for Herrens åsyn.
Put the loaves in two rows, with six loaves in each row, on the table covered with pure gold, in my presence.
7 Og du skal legge ren virak på hver rad, og den skal være et ihukommelses-offer for brødene, et ildoffer for Herren.
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 På hver sabbatsdag skal brødene gjennem alle tider legges frem for Herrens åsyn; det skal være en gave fra Israels barn - en evig pakt.
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 De skal høre Aron og hans sønner til, og de skal ete dem på et hellig sted; for de er høihellige og er hans del av Herrens ildoffer - en evig rettighet.
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 En mann som var sønn av en israelittisk kvinne, men hadde en egypter til far, gikk engang ut blandt Israels barn. Da kom den israelittiske kvinnes sønn og en israelittisk mann i trette med hverandre i leiren,
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 og den israelittiske kvinnes sønn spottet Herrens navn og bannet det, og de førte ham til Moses. Hans mor hette Selomit, Dibris datter, av Dans stamme.
12 De satte ham fast, forat de kunde få avgjørelse ved et ord fra Herren.
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 Og Herren talte til Moses og sa:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
14 Før spotteren utenfor leiren, og alle de som hørte det, skal legge sine hender på hans hode, og hele menigheten skal stene ham.
“[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 Og du skal tale til Israels barn og si: Når nogen banner sin Gud, skal han lide for sin synd.
Tell the Israelis, ‘If anyone curses me, he must (endure the consequences/be punished).
16 Og den som spotter Herrens navn, skal late livet, hele menigheten skal stene ham; enten det er en fremmed eller en innfødt, skal han stenes når han spotter Herrens navn.
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 Når en slår et menneske ihjel, skal han late livet.
“Also, If anyone murders another person, he must be executed.
18 Men den som slår et stykke fe ihjel, skal godtgjøre det, liv for liv.
And anyone who kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed.
19 Når nogen volder sin næste mén på hans legeme, skal der gjøres det samme med ham som han selv har gjort:
And if one person injures another person, the injured person is allowed to injure the person who injured him in the same way:
20 brudd for brudd, øie for øie, tann for tann; det samme mén som han volder en annen, skal han selv få.
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 Den som slår et stykke fe ihjel, skal godtgjøre det; men den som slår et menneske ihjel, skal late livet.
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 En og samme rett skal gjelde for eder, den skal gjelde for den fremmede som for den innfødte; for jeg er Herren eders Gud.
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 Og Moses sa dette til Israels barn, og de førte spotteren utenfor leiren og stenet ham - Israels barn gjorde som Herren hadde befalt Moses.
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].
