Levítico 24
1 Yavé habló a Moisés:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Ordena a los hijos de Israel que te traigan aceite puro de olivas machacadas para el alumbrado a fin de que arda la lámpara continuamente.
“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 Aarón la dispondrá en el Tabernáculo de Reunión, al exterior del velo del Testimonio, para que esté de continuo delante de Yavé, desde cuando llega la noche hasta la mañana. Es estatuto perpetuo para sus generaciones.
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 Mantendrá las lámparas delante de Yavé continuamente sobre el candelabro de oro puro.
Those lampstands that burn in my presence must be taken care of continually.
5 Tomarás flor de harina y hornearás con ella 12 tortas. Cada torta será de 4,4 litros.
“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 Las pondrás sobre la mesa de oro puro en dos hileras, seis en cada hilera, en la Presencia de Yavé.
Put the loaves in two rows, with six loaves in each row, on the table covered with pure gold, in my presence.
7 Junto a cada hilera pondrás incienso puro, para que sea el pan como un memorial, una ofrenda quemada a Yavé.
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 Cada sábado lo dispondrá continuamente delante de Yavé, de parte de los hijos de Israel como Pacto perpetuo.
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 Las ofrendas quemadas de Yavé serán para Aarón y sus hijos, los cuales las comerán en un lugar sagrado, porque es cosa santísima para él. Este es un estatuto perpetuo.
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 Surgió entre los israelitas un hijo de una mujer israelita cuyo padre era egipcio, y el hijo de la israelita peleó en el campamento con un varón de Israel.
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 El hijo de la mujer israelita blasfemó el Nombre y maldijo, y fue llevado a Moisés. El nombre de su madre era Selomit, hija de Dibrí, de la tribu de Dan.
12 Lo pusieron bajo custodia hasta que les fuera declarado el mandato de Yavé.
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 Yavé habló a Moisés:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
14 Haz salir al profano fuera del campamento, y todos los que lo oyeron impongan sus manos sobre la cabeza de éste y apedréelo toda la congregación.
“[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 Hablarás a los hijos de Israel: Cualquier hombre que maldiga a su ʼElohim, llevará su pecado,
Tell the Israelis, ‘If anyone curses me, he must (endure the consequences/be punished).
16 y el que blasfeme el Nombre de Yavé morirá sin compasión. Sin falta toda la congregación lo apedreará. Sea extranjero o nativo, si blasfema el Nombre morirá.
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 El hombre que hiera de muerte a otro hombre morirá sin compasión.
“Also, If anyone murders another person, he must be executed.
18 El que mate algún animal lo restituirá, animal por animal.
And anyone who kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed.
19 El que cause lesión a su prójimo, según hizo, así se le hará:
And if one person injures another person, the injured person is allowed to injure the person who injured him in the same way:
20 fractura por fractura, ojo por ojo, diente por diente. Según la lesión que cause a otro, así se le hará.
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 De manera que el que mate un animal, lo pagará, pero el que mate a un hombre morirá.
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 Una misma ley habrá para ustedes, tanto para el extranjero como para el nativo, porque Yo soy Yavé su ʼElohim.
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 Entonces Moisés habló a los hijos de Israel, y ellos sacaron al blasfemo fuera del campamento y lo apedrearon. Los hijos de Israel hicieron según lo que Yavé ordenó a Moisés.
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].
