Levitiko 24

1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

2 Fekau ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi kenau ʻomi kiate koe ʻae lolo ʻolive lelei kuo tuki ki he maama, koeʻuhi ke ulo lelei maʻuaipē ʻae maama.

“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 ‌ʻE teuteu ia ʻe ʻElone ʻituʻa ʻi he puipui ʻoe fuakava ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, mei he efiafi ki he pongipongi ʻe fai maʻuaipē ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ko e fekau fai maʻu pe ia ʻi homou toʻutangata kotoa pē.

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 Ke te u maʻuaipē ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi foʻi maama ki he tuʻunga maama tapu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

Those lampstands that burn in my presence must be taken care of continually.

5 Pea ke toʻo ʻae mahoaʻa lelei, ʻo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae foʻi mā ʻe hongofulu ma ua: ʻe ʻai ʻae oma ʻe ua ʻi he foʻi mā pe taha.

“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 Pea te ke fokotuʻu ia ʻi he ʻotu ʻe ua, ke taki ono ʻi he ʻotu pe taha, ki he palepale māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

Put the loaves in two rows, with six loaves in each row, on the table covered with pure gold, in my presence.

7 Pea te ke ʻai ki he ʻotu fakatouʻosi pe ʻae laipeno moʻonia, koeʻuhi ke ʻi he mā ia ko e meʻa fakamanatu, ʻio, ko e feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi kia Sihova.

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 ‌ʻE ʻai ia ʻo teuteu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻo fai maʻu pe ʻi he Sāpate kotoa pē, kuo toʻo ia mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he fuakava ʻoku taʻengata.

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 Pea ʻe ʻia ʻElone ia mo hono ngaahi foha; pea kenau kai ia ʻi he potu māʻoniʻoni: he ko e meʻa māʻoniʻoni lahi kiate ia ʻi he ngaahi feilaulau kia Sihova kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi ʻi he fekau tuʻumaʻu.

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 Pea naʻe ʻalu kituaʻā mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae tama ʻae fefine ʻIsileli, ka ko ʻene tamai ko e tangata ʻIsipite; pea ko e tama ʻae fefine ʻIsileli, mo e tangata ʻIsileli, naʻa na fekuki fakataha ʻi he ʻapitanga:

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 Pea naʻe kape ʻae tama ʻae fefine ʻIsileli ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ʻo lea kovi. Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia kia Mōsese, (pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē, ko Selomiti, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Tipili ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Tani: )

12 Pea naʻa nau tuku haʻisia ia, ke ʻoua ke nau ʻilo ʻae finangalo ʻo Sihova ki ai.

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 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,

14 “Ko ia kuo kape, ʻomi ia kituaʻā mei he ʻapitanga; pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo ki ai ke hilifaki honau nima ki hono ʻulu, pea ke tolongaki ia ʻe he fakataha kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae maka.

“[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 Pea ke lea koe ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Ko ia ʻoku kapeʻi hono ʻOtua ʻe fua ʻe ia ʻene angahala.

Tell the Israelis, ‘If anyone curses me, he must (endure the consequences/be punished).

16 Pea ko ia ʻoku ne kapeʻi ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova, ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ia, ʻe tolongaki ia ʻaki ʻae maka ʻe he kakai kotoa pē: ko e muli ia pe ko ia kuo tupu ʻi he fonua, ʻoka kapeʻi ʻe ia ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova ʻe tāmateʻi ia.

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 “Pea ko ia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ha tangata ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia.

“Also, If anyone murders another person, he must be executed.

18 Pea ko ia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ha manu ʻe totongi ke tatau ia; ko e manu ki he manu.

And anyone who kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed.

19 “Pea kapau ʻe fakameleʻi ʻe ha tangata hono kaungāʻapi ʻe fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ia kuo ne fai

And if one person injures another person, the injured person is allowed to injure the person who injured him in the same way:

20 Ko e lavea ki he lavea, ko e mata ki he mata, ko e nifo ki he nifo: ʻo hangē ko ʻene fakameleʻi ha tangata, ʻe pehē pe hono fai kiate ia.

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 Pea ko ia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ha manu, ʻe ʻatu ke tatau ia: pea ko ia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ha tangata, ʻe tāmateʻi ia.

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 Ke mou maʻu ʻae fono pe taha, ki he muli, mo ia ʻoku ʻi homou fonua: he ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.”

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 Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi kenau ʻomi ʻaia naʻe kape kituaʻā mei he ʻapitanga, ʻo tolongaki ʻaki ia ʻae maka. Pea naʻe fai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.

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].
