اَللَّاوِيِّينَ 24

١ 1 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

٢ 2 «أَوْصِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يُقَدِّمُوا إِلَيْكَ زَيْتَ زَيْتُونٍ مَرْضُوضٍ نَقِيًّا لِلضَّوْءِ لِإِيقَادِ ٱلسُّرُجِ دَائِمًا.

“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.

٣ 3 خَارِجَ حِجَابِ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ يُرَتِّبُهَا هَارُونُ مِنَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ دَائِمًا فَرِيضَةً دَهْرِيَّةً فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ.

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.

٤ 4 عَلَى ٱلْمَنَارَةِ ٱلطَّاهِرَةِ يُرَتِّبُ ٱلسُّرُجَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ دَائِمًا.

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

٥ 5 «وَتَأْخُذُ دَقِيقًا وَتَخْبِزُهُ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ قُرْصًا. عُشْرَيْنِ يَكُونُ ٱلْقُرْصُ ٱلْوَاحِدُ.

“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.

٦ 6 وَتَجْعَلُهَا صَفَّيْنِ، كُلَّ صَفٍّ سِتَّةً عَلَى ٱلْمَائِدَةِ ٱلطَّاهِرَةِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

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

٧ 7 وَتَجْعَلُ عَلَى كُلِّ صَفٍّ لُبَانًا نَقِيًّا فَيَكُونُ لِلْخُبْزِ تَذْكَارًا وَقُودًا لِلرَّبِّ.

Along each row, place [in some gold cups] some pure incense to be burned to be an offering to me instead of the bread.

٨ 8 فِي كُلِّ يَوْمِ سَبْتٍ يُرَتِّبُهُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ دَائِمًا، مِنْ عِنْدِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِيثَاقًا دَهْرِيًّا.

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.

٩ 9 فَيَكُونُ لِهَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ، فَيَأْكُلُونَهُ فِي مَكَانٍ مُقَدَّسٍ، لِأَنَّهُ قُدْسُ أَقْدَاسٍ لَهُ مِنْ وَقَائِدِ ٱلرَّبِّ فَرِيضَةً دَهْرِيَّةً».

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.”

١٠ 10 وَخَرَجَ ٱبْنُ ٱمْرَأَةٍ إِسْرَائِيلِيَّةٍ، وَهُوَ ٱبْنُ رَجُلٍ مِصْرِيٍّ، فِي وَسَطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَتَخَاصَمَ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيَّةِ وَرَجُلٌ إِسْرَائِيلِيٌّ.

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].

١١ 11 فَجَدَّفَ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيَّةِ عَلَى ٱلِٱسْمِ وَسَبَّ. فَأَتَوْا بِهِ إِلَى مُوسَى. وَكَانَ ٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ شَلُومِيَةَ بِنْتَ دِبْرِي مِنْ سِبْطِ دَانَ.

١٢ 12 فَوَضَعُوهُ فِي ٱلْمَحْرَسِ لِيُعْلَنَ لَهُمْ عَنْ فَمِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

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].

١٣ 13 فَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,

١٤ 14 «أَخْرِجِ ٱلَّذِي سَبَّ إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، فَيَضَعَ جَمِيعُ ٱلسَّامِعِينَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَيَرْجُمَهُ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ.

“[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.

١٥ 15 وَكَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: كُلُّ مَنْ سَبَّ إِلَهَهُ يَحْمِلُ خَطِيَّتَهُ،

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

١٦ 16 وَمَنْ جَدَّفَ عَلَى ٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ. يَرْجُمُهُ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ رَجْمًا. ٱلْغَرِيبُ كَٱلْوَطَنِيِّ عِنْدَمَا يُجَدِّفُ عَلَى ٱلِٱسْمِ يُقْتَلُ.

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.’

١٧ 17 وَإِذَا أَمَاتَ أَحَدٌ إِنْسَانًا فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ.

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

١٨ 18 وَمَنْ أَمَاتَ بَهِيمَةً يُعَوِّضُ عَنْهَا نَفْسًا بِنَفْسٍ.

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

١٩ 19 وَإِذَا أَحْدَثَ إِنْسَانٌ فِي قَرِيبِهِ عَيْبًا، فَكَمَا فَعَلَ كَذَلِكَ يُفْعَلُ بِهِ.

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

٢٠ 20 كَسْرٌ بِكَسْرٍ، وَعَيْنٌ بِعَيْنٍ، وَسِنٌّ بِسِنٍّ. كَمَا أَحْدَثَ عَيْبًا فِي ٱلْإِنْسَانِ كَذَلِكَ يُحْدَثُ فِيهِ.

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.

٢١ 21 مَنْ قَتَلَ بَهِيمَةً يُعَوِّضُ عَنْهَا، وَمَنْ قَتَلَ إِنْسَانًا يُقْتَلْ.

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.

٢٢ 22 حُكْمٌ وَاحِدٌ يَكُونُ لَكُمْ. ٱلْغَرِيبُ يَكُونُ كَٱلْوَطَنِيِّ. إِنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ».

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].”

٢٣ 23 فَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يُخْرِجُوا ٱلَّذِي سَبَّ إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ وَيَرْجُمُوهُ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ. فَفَعَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

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].
