Y el que blasfemare el nombre de Jehová, ha de ser muerto; toda la congregación lo apedreará: así el extranjero como el natural, si blasfemare el Nombre, que muera.
Al que blasfeme el nombre de Jehová se le dará muerte sin falta. Toda la comunidad lo apedreará sin falta. Tanto el extranjero como el nativo que blasfeme el Nombre será ejecutado.
Celui qui blasphémera le nom de l'Eternel sera puni de mort: toute l'assemblée le lapidera. Qu'il soit étranger ou indigène, il mourra, pour avoir blasphémé le nom de Dieu.
E chi avrà bestemmiato il Nome del Signore, del tutto sia fatto morire; in ogni modo lapidilo tutta la raunanza; sia fatto morire così lo straniere, come colui ch’è natio del paese, quando avrà bestemmiato il Nome.
E aquele que blasfemar o nome do SENHOR, certamente morrerá; toda a congregação certamente o apedrejará; assim o estrangeiro como o natural, blasfemando o nome do SENHOR, será morto.
褻瀆耶和華名的,必被處死;全會眾必須用石頭打死他。無論是寄居的,是本地人,他褻瀆聖名的時候必被處死。
