肋未紀 Leviticus Leviticus:Chapter 24
1上主訓示梅瑟說: 1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2「你吩咐以色列子民給你拿由橄欖榨的清油來,為點燈用,好叫燈光長明不熄。 2Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee the finest and dearest oil of olives, to furnish the lamps continually,
3亞郎應將這燈放在會幕內,約櫃帳幔外,自晚上到早晨常點在上主面前:這為你們世世代代是永久的法令。 3Without the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the covenant. And Aaron shall set them from evening until morning before the Lord, by a perpetual service and rite in your generations.
4亞郎應把這些燈放在純金台上,在上主面前長燃不熄。 4They shall be set upon the most pure candlestick before the Lord continually.
5你應拿細麵,烤成十二個餅,每個是十分之二『厄法』; 5Thou shalt take also fine hour, and shalt bake twelve leaves thereof, two tenths shall be in every loaf:
6將餅排成兩行,六個一行,供在上主面前的純金桌上。 6And thou shalt set them six and six one against another upon the most clean table before the Lord:
7每行應撒上純乳香,作為食物當獻與上主的火祭,為獲得紀念。 7And thou shalt put upon them the dearest frankincense, that the bread may be for a memorial of the oblation of the Lord.
8每安息日,應將餅不斷地供在上主面前,這是以色列子民因永久的盟約而當行的義務。 8Every sabbath they shall be changed before the Lord, being received of the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant:
9這些應歸亞郎和他的兒子;他們應在聖地方吃,因為這是上主火祭中至聖之物,是他永享的權利。」 9And they shall be Aaron's and his sons', that they may eat them in the holy place: because it is most holy of the sacrifices of the Lord by a perpetual right.
10當時在以色列子民中有一個人,他的母親是以色列人,父親是埃及人。這以色列女人的兒子在營內與一個以色列人爭吵; 10And behold there went out the son of a woman of Israel, whom she had of an Egyptian, among the children of Israel, and fell at words in the camp with a man of Israel.
11以色列女人的兒子咒罵褻瀆了上主的名,人們就帶他去見梅瑟,──這人的母親名叫舍羅米特,是丹支派狄貝黎的女兒,── 11And when he had blasphemed the name, and had cursed it, he was brought to Moses: (now his mother was called Salumith, the daughter of Dabri, of the tribe of Dan:)
12將他看守起來,等梅瑟依照上主的訓令給他們處理。 12And they put him into prison, till they might know what the Lord would command.
13於是上主訓示梅瑟說: 13And the Lord spoke to Moses,
14「你帶這犯褻瀆罪的人到營外去,凡聽見他說褻瀆話的人,都按手在他頭上,然後令全體會眾用石頭砸死他。 14Saying: Bring forth the blasphemer without the camp, and let them that heard him, put their hands upon his head, and let all the people stone him.
15你應這樣告訴以色列子民說:凡褻瀆天主的,應負罪債; 15And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel: the man that curseth his God, shall bear his sin:
16那不避諱「雅威」之名的,應處死刑,全體會眾應用石頭砸死他;不論外方人或本地人,若不避諱「雅威」的名,應處死刑。 16And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die: all the multitude shall stone him, whether he be a native or a stranger. He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die.
17凡打死人的,應處死刑。 17He that striketh and killeth a man, dying let him die.
18凡打死牲畜的,應該賠償:以命還命。 18He that killeth a beast, shall make it good, that is to say, shall give beast for beast.
19人若加害自己的同胞,他怎樣待人,人也怎樣待他: 19He that giveth a blemish to any of his neighbours: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:
20以傷還傷,以眼還眼,以牙還牙;他怎樣害了人,人也怎樣害他。 20Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, shall he restore. What blemish he gave, the like shall he be compelled to suffer.
21凡打死牲畜的,應該賠償;凡打死人的,應處死刑。 21He that striketh a beast, shall render another. He that striketh a man shall be punished.
22為你們,不論是外方人或是本地人,只有一樣法律;因為我上主是你們的天主。」 22Let there be equal judgment among you, whether he be a stranger, or a native that offends: because I am the Lord your God.
23梅瑟這樣訓示了以色列子民;他們就把這犯褻瀆罪的人帶到營外,用石頭砸死。以色列子民全照上主吩咐梅瑟的做了。 23And Moses spoke to the children of Israel: and they brought forth him that had blasphemed, without the camp, and they stoned him. And the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
