Leviticus, 24

1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

1. Jahve reèe Mojsiju:

2. Instruct the sons of Israel, so that they may bring to you clear oil from the purest olives, in order to supply the lamps continuously

2. "Naredi Izraelcima da ti za svijeænjak donose èistoga ulja od istupanih maslina, da se uvijek održava svjetlo.

3. outside the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the covenant. And Aaron shall place these, from evening until morning, before the Lord, as a perpetual worship and ritual in your generations.

3. Neka ga Aron svagda sprema pred Jahvom od veèeri do jutra u Šatoru sastanka, pred zavjesom Svjedoèanstva. Neka je ovo trajan zakon vašim naraštajima.

4. They shall be placed upon the most pure candlestick in the sight of the Lord always.

4. Neka Aron neprekidno održava svjetlila na èistome svijeænjaku pred Jahvom."

5. You shall also receive fine wheat flour, and you shall bake twelve loaves from it, each loaf of which shall have two-tenths.

5. "Potom uzmi najboljeg brašna i od njega ispeci dvanaest pogaèa. Neka u svakoj pogaèi budu dvije desetine efe.

6. And you shall arrange them, six on each side, upon the most pure table before the Lord.

6. Onda ih poredaj u dva reda - po šest u redu - na èistome stolu što je pred Jahvom.

7. And you shall place upon them the clearest frankincense, so that the bread may be a memorial of oblation for the Lord.

7. Na svaki red stavi èistoga tamjana. Neka to bude hrana prinesena kao spomen - paljena žrtva Jahvi.

8. On each Sabbath, they shall be changed before the Lord, having been received from the sons of Israel as an everlasting covenant.

8. Svake subote, bez prijekida, neka se postavljaju pred Jahvu. To neka Izraelci vrše zbog vjeènoga Saveza.

9. And they shall be for Aaron and his sons, so that they may eat these in the holy place; for it is the Holy of holies from the sacrifices of the Lord, as a perpetual right.

9. Neka pripadnu Aronu i njegovim sinovima. Oni ih imaju blagovati na posveæenu mjestu. To je njemu vrlo svet dio Jahvinih paljenih žrtava. To neka bude trajna odredba."

10. Then, behold, the son of an Israelite woman, whom she had born of an Egyptian man among the sons of Israel, going out, was quarreling in the camp with a man of Israel.

10. A sin jedne Izraelke, komu otac bijaše Egipæanin, iziðe meðu Izraelce i zametne u taboru svaðu s nekim Izraelcem.

11. And when he had blasphemed the name, and had cursed it, he was led to Moses. (Now his mother was called Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri from the tribe of Dan.)

11. Uto sin Izraelke pogrdi Ime i opsuje ga. Tada ga dovedu Mojsiju. - Mati mu se zvala Šelomit, a bila je kæi Dibrijeva iz plemena Danova. -

12. And they sent him to prison, until they might know what the Lord would command,

12. Stave ga u zatvor dok im se ne oèituje volja Jahvina.

13. who spoke to Moses,

13. Onda Jahve reèe Mojsiju:

14. saying: Lead away the blasphemer beyond the camp, and let all who heard him place their hands upon his head, and let the entire people stone him.

14. "Izvedi psovaèa iz tabora. Potom svi oni koji su ga èuli neka stave svoje ruke na njegovu glavu. A onda neka ga sva zajednica kamenuje.

15. And you shall say to the sons of Israel: The man who curses his God shall bear his sin,

15. Poslije toga æeš ovako prozboriti Izraelcima: Tko god opsuje Boga svoga neka snosi svoju krivnju;

16. and whoever will have blasphemed the name of the Lord shall be put to death. The entire multitude shall overwhelm him with stones, whether he be a citizen or a sojourner. Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall be put to death.

16. tko izgovori hulu na ime Jahvino neka se smakne - neka ga sva zajednica kamenuje; bio stranac ili domorodac, ako pohuli ime Jahvino, mora mrijeti.

17. Whoever will have struck and killed a man shall be put to death.

17. Ako èovjek zada smrtan udarac drugome, mora se smaknuti.

18. Whoever will have struck down an animal shall repay its equivalent, that is, a life for a life.

18. Tko usmrti živinèe mora ga nadomjestiti: život za život.

19. Whoever will have inflicted a blemish on any of his citizens, just as he has done, so shall it be done to him:

19. Tko ozlijedi svoga bližnjega neka mu se uèini kako je on uèinio:

20. fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, shall he repay. Whatever degree of blemish he has inflicted, so shall he be compelled to suffer.

20. lom za lom, oko za oko, zub za zub - rana koju je on zadao drugome neka se zada i njemu.

21. Whoever strikes down a beast, shall repay another. Whoever strikes a man shall be punished.

21. Tko usmrti živinèe mora ga nadoknaditi, ali tko ubije èovjeka mora umrijeti.

22. Let there be equal judgment among you, whether it is a sojourner or a citizen who will have sinned. For I am the Lord your God.

22. Neka vam je jednak sud i strancu i domorocu. Jer ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš."

23. And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel. And they led away him who had blasphemed, beyond the camp, and they overwhelmed him with stones. And the sons of Israel did just as the Lord had instructed Moses.

23. Pošto je Mojsije to izložio Izraelcima, oni izvedu psovaèa izvan tabora i zaspu ga kamenjem. Uèine, dakle, Izraelci kako je Jahve Mojsiju naredio.

24:1-4 - God instructs us to use pure oil to keep the lamps of the tabernacle burning continually. This symbolizes God's perpetual presence among His people and the importance of light in worship (see also Exodus 27:20-21 and John 8:12).

24:5-9 - The twelve loaves of showbread represent the twelve tribes of Israel and are offered to God in the tabernacle, symbolizing gratitude for God's provision and sustenance (see also Exodus 25:30 and Matthew 6:11).

24:10-16 - A case of blasphemy against God's name is treated with severe punishment, emphasizing the seriousness of reverence for God's name. This reflects the commandment not to take God's name in vain (see also Exodus 20:7 and Matthew 12:31-32).

24:17-22 - God establishes the principle of retributive justice, “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” to guide civil and criminal matters in Israel. This ensures that punishment is proportionate to the crime, preventing excessive revenge (see also Exodus 21:23-25 and Matthew 5:38-39).

24:23:00 - After the blasphemer's death sentence, the people of Israel obey God's commands. This action concludes the narrative with collective obedience to God's command, reinforcing the authority of God's law (see also Deuteronomy 13:6-11 and Romans 13:1-5).
