1 Og Herren sa til Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

2 Gi befaling til Israels barn om å gi deg ren olivenolje til lampen, slik at lyset kan brenne hele tiden,

Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clean olive oil for the light, so that a light may be burning at all times,

3 Utenfor forhenget til arken i møteteltet; la Aron sørge for at det brenner fra kveld til morgen hele tiden for Herrens åsyn: dette er en evig forskrift for alle slekter.

Outside the veil of the ark in the Tent of meeting; let Aaron see that it is burning from evening till morning at all times before the Lord: it is a rule for ever through all your generations.

4 La Aron sette lampene i orden på stativet foran Herren hele tiden.

Let Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all times.

5 Ta det fineste melet og lag tolv kaker av det, en femtedels efa i hver kake.

And take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in every cake.

6 Og legg dem i to rekker, seks i hver rekke, på det hellige bordet for Herrens åsyn.

And put them in two lines, six in a line, on the holy table before the Lord.

7 Og legg rene, velluktende krydder på kakene, som et tegn på brødet, et ildoffer til Herren.

And on the lines of cakes put clean sweet-smelling spices, for a sign on the bread, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

8 Hver sabbat skal presten regelmessig sette det i orden for Herrens åsyn: det er ofret for Israels barn, en evig pakt.

Every Sabbath day regularly, the priest is to put it in order before the Lord: it is offered for the children of Israel, an agreement made for ever.

9 Og det skal være for Aron og hans sønner; de skal spise det på et hellig sted: det er det aller helligste av alle ildofre til Herren, en evig forskrift.

And it will be for Aaron and his sons; they are to take it for food in a holy place: it is the most holy of all the offerings made by fire to the Lord, a rule for ever.

10 En sønn av en israelsk kvinne, hvis far var en egyptisk mann, gikk ut blant Israels barn og kom i krangel med en israelsk mann ved teltene;

And a son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel and had a fight with a man of Israel by the tents;

11 Og sønnen til den israelske kvinnen spottet det hellige navnet med forbannelser; og de tok ham til Moses. Hans mors navn var Shelomith, datter av Dibri, fra Dans stamme.

And the son of the Israelite woman said evil against the holy Name, with curses; and they took him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

12 Og de holdt ham i forvaring, til en avgjørelse kunne bli gitt av Herren.

And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord.

13 Og Herren sa til Moses,

And the Lord said to Moses,

14 Ta spotteren utenfor leiren; og la alle som hørte ordene legge hendene på hans hode, og la ham steines av hele folket.

Take the curser outside the tent-circle; and let all in whose hearing the words were said put their hands on his head, and let him be stoned by all the people.

15 Og si til Israels barn: Hvis noen forbanner Gud, skal hans synd komme over hans eget hode.

And say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on his head.

16 Og den som spotter Herrens navn, skal sikkert dø; han skal steines av hele folket; enten han er en fremmed eller en født israelitt, den som spotter det hellige navnet, skal dø.

And he who says evil against the name of the Lord will certainly be put to death; he will be stoned by all the people; the man who is not of your nation and one who is an Israelite by birth, whoever says evil against the holy Name is to be put to death.

17 Og den som tar liv, skal sikkert dø.

And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death.

18 Og den som skader et dyr og forårsaker dets død, skal erstatte det: liv for liv.

And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.

19 Og hvis noen gjør skade på sin neste, som han har gjort, slik skal det gjøres mot ham;

And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to him;

20 Skade for skade, øye for øye, tann for tann; hvilken skade han har gjort, slik skal det gjøres mot ham.

Wound for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever damage he has done, so let it be done to him.

21 Den som dreper et dyr, skal erstatte det; den som dreper et menneske, skal selv bli henrettet.

He who puts a beast to death will have to make payment for it; he who puts a man to death will himself be put to death.

22 Dere skal ha den samme loven for en fremmed blant dere som for en israelitt; for jeg er Herren deres Gud.

You are to have the same law for a man of another nation living among you as for an Israelite; for I am the Lord your God.

23 Og Moses sa disse ordene til Israels barn, og de tok mannen som hadde spottet utenfor leiren og steinet ham. Israels barn gjorde som Herren ga Moses befaling om.

And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, and they took the man who had been cursing outside the tent-circle and had him stoned. The children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
