Liber Leviticus, 24

1. Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:

1. The LORD said to Moses,

2. “Praecipe fi liis Israel, ut afferant tibi oleum de olivis purissimum ac lucidum ad concinnandas lucernas candelabri iugiter.

2. "Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil from beaten olives for the lamp, that a light may be kept burning continually.

3. Extra velum testimonii in tabernaculo conventus parabit illud Aaron a vespere usque ad mane coram Domino iugiter, ritu perpetuo in generationibus vestris.

3. Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the LORD continually; it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations.

4. Super candelabro mundissimo parabit lucernas semper in conspectu Domini.

4. He shall keep the lamps in order upon the lampstand of pure gold before the LORD continually.

5. Accipies quoque similam et coques ex ea duodecim panes, qui singuli habebunt duas decimas,

5. "And you shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it; two tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake.

6. quorum senos altrinsecus super mensam purissimam coram Domino statues.

6. And you shall set them in two rows, six in a row, upon the table of pure gold.

7. Et pones super ambas strues tus lucidissimum, ut sit panis in memoriale, incensum Domino.

7. And you shall put pure frankincense with each row, that it may go with the bread as a memorial portion to be offered by fire to the LORD.

8. Per singula sabbata mutabuntur coram Domino suscepti a filiis Israel; foedus sempiternum.

8. Every sabbath day Aaron shall set it in order before the LORD continually on behalf of the people of Israel as a covenant for ever.

9. Eruntque Aaron et filiorum eius, ut comedant eos in loco sancto, quia sanctum sanctorum est ei de incensis Domini; iure perpetuo”.

9. And it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place, since it is for him a most holy portion out of the offerings by fire to the LORD, a perpetual due."

10. Ecce autem egressus filius mulieris Israelitis, quem pepererat de viro Aegyptio inter filios Israel, iurgatus est in castris cum viro Israelita.

10. Now an Israelite woman's son, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the people of Israel; and the Israelite woman's son and a man of Israel quarreled in the camp,

11. Cumque blasphemasset nomen et maledixisset ei, adductus est ad Moysen; vocabatur autem mater eius Salomith filia Dabri de tribu Dan.

11. and the Israelite woman's son blasphemed the Name, and cursed. And they brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelo'mith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

12. Miseruntque eum in custodiam, donec nossent quid iuberet Dominus.

12. And they put him in custody, till the will of the LORD should be declared to them.

13. Qui locutus est ad Moysen dicens:

13. And the LORD said to Moses,

14. “Educ blasphemum extra castra, et ponant omnes, qui audierunt, manus suas super caput eius, et lapidet eum coetus universus.

14. "Bring out of the camp him who cursed; and let all who heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

15. Et ad filios Israel loqueris: Homo, qui maledixerit Deo suo, portabit peccatum suum;

15. And say to the people of Israel, Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.

16. et, qui blasphemaverit nomen Domini, morte moriatur: lapidibus opprimet eum omnis coetus, sive ille peregrinus sive civis fuerit. Qui blasphemaverit nomen Domini, morte moriatur.

16. He who blasphemes the name of the LORD shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him; the sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.

17. Qui percusserit et occiderit hominem, morte moriatur.

17. He who kills a man shall be put to death.

18. Qui percusserit animal, reddet vicarium, id est animam pro anima.

18. He who kills a beast shall make it good, life for life.

19. Qui irrogaverit maculam cuilibet civium suorum, sicut fecit, sic fiet ei:

19. When a man causes a disfigurement in his neighbor, as he has done it shall be done to him,

20. fracturam pro fractura, oculum pro oculo, dentem pro dente restituet; qualem inflixerit maculam, talem sustinere cogetur.

20. fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has disfigured a man, he shall be disfigured.

21. Qui percusserit iumentum, reddet aliud. Qui percusserit hominem, morietur.

21. He who kills a beast shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.

22. Aequum iudicium sit inter vos, sive peregrinus sive civis peccaverit; quia ego sum Dominus Deus vester”.

22. You shall have one law for the sojourner and for the native; for I am the LORD your God."

23. Locutusque est Moyses ad filios Israel, et eduxerunt eum, qui blasphemaverat, extra castra, ac lapidibus oppresserunt. Feceruntque filii Israel, sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi.

23. So Moses spoke to the people of Israel; and they brought him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. Thus the people of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
