Lewwota 24
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 “Akka ibsaan ittuma fufee bobaʼuuf akka isaan zayitii ejersaa kan cuunfamee taliila taʼe siif fidaniif ijoollee Israaʼel ajaji.
“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 Aroonis ibsaawwan sana golgaa taabota kakuu seeraa kan dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa jiru sanaan alatti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti galgalaa hamma ganamaatti ittuma fufee haa qopheessu. Kunis dhaloota keessaniif seera bara baraa haa taʼu.
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 Ibsaawwan baattuu ibsaa kan warqee qulqulluu irraa hojjetaman irra fuula Waaqayyoo dura jiran sun ittuma fufanii qopheeffamuu qabu.
Those lampstands that burn in my presence must be taken care of continually.
5 “Daakuu bullaaʼaa fuudhiitii buddeena kudha lama tolchi; tokkoon tokkoon buddeena sanaas daakuu iifii tokkoo irraa harka kudhan keessaa harka lama lamaan haa tolfamu.
“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 Buddeena kanas toora tokko keessa jaʼa jaʼa godhiitii minjaala warqee qulqulluu irraa hojjetamee fuula Waaqayyoo dura jiru irra toora lamaan kaaʼi.
Put the loaves in two rows, with six loaves in each row, on the table covered with pure gold, in my presence.
7 Akka inni qooda buddeena sanaa kutaa yaadannootii fi aarsaa ibiddaan Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamu taʼuuf tokkoo tokkoo toora sanaa irra ixaana qulqulluu kaaʼi.
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 Buddeenni kunis akka kakuu bara baraa taʼee saba Israaʼel iddoo buʼuuf yeroo hunda Sanbatuma Sanbataan fuula Waaqayyoo dura haa kaaʼamu.
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 Buddeenni kun qooda Arooniitii fi ilmaan isaa ti; isaanis sababii buddeenni kun qooda isaanii kan bara baraa kan aarsaa ibiddaan Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffame keessaa kutaa waan hunda caalaa qulqullaaʼe taʼeef iddoo qulqulluutti isa haa nyaatan.”
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 Namichi haati isaa gosa Israaʼelii fi abbaan isaa immoo nama biyya Gibxii taʼe tokko Israaʼeloota gidduu baʼe; lollis qubata keessatti isaa fi Israaʼelicha tokko gidduutti kaʼe.
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 Ilmi dubartii Israaʼel sunis Maqaa Waaqaa arrabse; ni abaares; kanaafuu Museetti isa fidan. Maqaan haadha namicha sanaas Sheloomiit jedhama; isheen immoo intala namicha gosa Daanii kan Dibraayi jedhamuu ti.
12 Isaanis hamma fedhiin Waaqayyoo isaanii ifutti eegumsa jala isa tursan.
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 Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
14 “Namicha Waaqa arrabse sana qubata keessaa gad baasi. Warri isa dhagaʼan hundinuu harka isaanii mataa isaa irra haa kaaʼan; waldaan hundi immoo dhagaadhaan isa haa tumu.
“[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 Israaʼelootaan akkana jedhi; ‘Namni kam iyyuu yoo Waaqa isaa abaare inni cubbuu hojjeteef itti gaafatama;
Tell the Israelis, ‘If anyone curses me, he must (endure the consequences/be punished).
16 namni Maqaa Waaqayyoo arrabsu haa ajjeefamu. Waldaan hundi dhagaadhaan isa haa tumu. Alagaas taʼu dhalataan biyyaa yoo Maqaa Waaqaa arrabse haa ajjeefamu.
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 “‘Namni nama ajjeese kam iyyuu haa ajjeefamu.
“Also, If anyone murders another person, he must be executed.
18 Namni horii namaa ajjeese horii sana iddoo haa buusu.
And anyone who kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed.
19 Namni tokko yoo ollaa isaa miidhe, wanni inni nama sana godhe isa irrattis haa godhamu;
And if one person injures another person, the injured person is allowed to injure the person who injured him in the same way:
20 kunis qooda cabaa cabaa, qooda ijaa ija, qooda ilkaanii ilkaan jechuu dha. Innis akkuma nama miidhe sana isa irrattis haa godhamu.
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 Namni horii ajjeese horii sana iddoo haa buusu; namni nama ajjeese garuu haa ajjeefamu.
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 Alagaas taʼu dhalataa biyyaatiif seera tokkicha qabaadhaa. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.’”
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 Museen waan kana Israaʼelootatti hime; isaanis namicha Waaqa arrabse sana qubata keessaa gad baasanii dhagaadhaan tuman; Israaʼeloonni akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajaje godhan.
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].
