1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
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 people of Israel to bring you pure oil beaten from olives to be used in the lamp, that the light may burn continually.
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 before the covenant decrees in the tent of meeting, Aaron must continually, from evening to morning, keep the lamp lit before Yahweh. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations.
4 Ke te u maʻuaipē ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi foʻi maama ki he tuʻunga maama tapu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
The high priest must always keep the lamps lit before Yahweh, the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold.
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.
You must take fine flour and bake twelve loaves with it. There must be two-tenths of an ephah in 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.
Then you must set them in two rows, six in a row, on the table of pure gold before Yahweh.
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.
You must put pure incense along each row of loaves as a representative offering. This incense will be burnt for Yahweh.
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.
Every Sabbath day the high priest must regularly set out the bread before Yahweh on behalf of the people of Israel, as a sign of an everlasting covenant.
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.
This offering will be for Aaron and his sons, and they are to eat it in a place that is holy, for it is a portion from the offerings to Yahweh made by fire.”
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:
Now it happened that the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went among the people of Israel. This son of the Israelite woman fought against an Israelite man in the camp.
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: )
The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the name of Yahweh and cursed God, so the people brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan.
12 Pea naʻa nau tuku haʻisia ia, ke ʻoua ke nau ʻilo ʻae finangalo ʻo Sihova ki ai.
They held him in custody until Yahweh himself should declare his will to them.
13 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
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.
“Take the man who has cursed God outside the camp. All who heard him must lay their hands on his head, and then the entire assembly must stone 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.
You must explain to the people of Israel and say, 'Whoever curses his God must carry his own guilt.
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.
He who blasphemes the name of Yahweh must surely be put to death. All the assembly must certainly stone him, whether he is a foreigner or a native-born Israelite. If anyone blasphemes the name of Yahweh, he must be put to death.
17 “Pea ko ia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ha tangata ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia.
If anyone strikes down another human being, he must certainly be put to death.
18 Pea ko ia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ha manu ʻe totongi ke tatau ia; ko e manu ki he manu.
If anyone strikes down someone's animal, he must pay it back, life for life.
19 “Pea kapau ʻe fakameleʻi ʻe ha tangata hono kaungāʻapi ʻe fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ia kuo ne fai
If anyone injures his neighbor, it must be done to him as he did to his neighbor:
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.
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As he has caused an injury to a person, so must it also be done to him.
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.
Anyone who kills an animal must pay it back, and anyone who kills a person must be put to death.
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.”
You must have the same law for both the foreigner and the native-born Israelite, for I am Yahweh your God.'”
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.
So Moses spoke to the people of Israel, and the people brought the man outside the camp, the one who had cursed Yahweh. They stoned him with stones. The people of Israel carried out the command of Yahweh to Moses.
