利未記 17
1 上主訓示梅瑟說：」
And the Lord spak to Moises, and seide, Speke thou to Aaron,
2 你告訴亞郎和他的兒子以及全體以色列子民說：上主這樣吩咐說：
and to hise sones, and to alle the sones of Israel, and seie thou to hem, This is the word which the Lord comaundide,
3 以色列家中任何人，在營內或在營外，宰殺牛或綿羊或山羊，
and seide, Ech man of the hows of Israel schal be gilti of blood, if he sleeth an oxe, ether a scheep, ethir a geet in the castels, ethir out of the castels,
4 而不牽到會幕門口，在上主住所前，奉獻給上主作祭品，這人就應負流血的罪債；他既使血流出，就應由民間剷除。
and offrith not an offryng to the Lord at the dore of the tabernacle; as he schedde mannus blood, so he schal perische fro the myddis of his puple.
5 為此，以色列子民應將他們平素在野外宰殺的犧牲，牽到上主面前，再會幕門口交與司祭宰殺這些犧牲，獻給上主作和平祭。
Therfor the sones of Israel owen to offre her sacrifices to the preest, whiche thei sleen in the feeld, that tho be halewid to the Lord, bifor the dore of the tabernacle of witnessyng, and that thei offre tho pesible sacrifices to the Lord.
6 司祭將牲血灑再會幕門口上主的祭壇上，焚燒脂肪，化為中悅上主的馨香。
And the preest schal schede the blood on the auter of the Lord, at the dore of the tabernacle of witnessyng; and he schal brenne the ynnere fatnesse in to odour of swetnesse to the Lord.
7 從此以後，他們不應再宰殺犧牲，獻給他們非法敬拜的一些山羊神：這位他們世世代代是一向永久的法令。
And thei schulen no more offre her sacrifices to fendis, with whiche thei diden fornycacioun; it schal be a lawful thing euerlastynge to hem, and to the aftircomeris `of hem.
8 此外，你們應吩咐他們說：以色列家及僑居在他們中間的外方人，誰若願意獻全番祭或祭獻，
And thou schalt seie to hem, A man of the hows of Israel, and of the comelyngis that ben pilgryms among you, that offrith a brent sacrifice, ethir a slayn sacrifice,
9 而不牽到會幕門口，奉獻給上主，這人就應由民間剷除。
and bryngith it not to the dore of the tabernacle of witnessyng, that it be offrid to the Lord, schal perische fro his puple.
10 以色列家及僑居在他們中間的外方人，有人吃了什麼血，我必怒容而視，與吃血的人作對，由民間將他剷除。
If ony man of the sones of Israel, and of comelyngis that ben pilgryms among you, etith blood, Y schal sette faste my face ayens `the soule of hym, and Y schal leese hym fro his puple;
11 因為肉軀的生命是在血內，我為你們指定了血，在祭壇上為你們的生命贖罪，因為血具有生命，故能贖罪。
for the lijf of fleisch is in blood, and Y yaf that blood to you, that ye clense on myn auter `for youre soulis, and that the blood be for the synne of soule.
12 為此，我吩咐以色列子民說：你們中任何人都不可吃血；僑居在你們中間的外方人，也不可吃血。
Therfor Y seide to the sones of Israel, Ech lyuynge man of you schal not ete blood, nethir of the comelyngis that ben pilgryms among you.
13 以色列子民和僑居在他們中間的外方人，誰若獵取了可食的野獸或飛禽，該放盡牠的血，用泥土蓋上。
What euer man of the sones of Israel, and of the comelyngis that ben pilgryms anentis you, takith a wielde beeste, ethir a brid, whiche it is leueful to ete, whether bi huntyng, whether bi haukyng, schede the blood therof, and hile it with erthe;
14 因為一切肉區的生命都繫於血，為此，我吩咐以色列子民說：任何肉上的血，你們都不可吃，因為一切肉軀的生命，都繫於血，誰吃了，應被剷除。
for the lijf of ech fleisch is in blood. Wherfor Y seide to the sones of Israel, Ye schulen not ete the blood of ony fleisch, for the lijf of fleisch is in blood, and who euer etith blood, schal perische.
15 論是本地人或外方人，吃了自死或被猛獸撕裂的禽獸，應洗自己的衣服，用水洗澡，直到晚上是不潔的；以後他才潔淨。
A man that etith a thing deed bi it silf, ethir takun of a beeste, as wel of men borun in the lond, as of comelyngis, he schal waische hise clothis and hym silf in watir, and he schal be `defoulid til to euentid; and by this ordre he schal be maad cleene; that if he waischith not his clothis,
16 但是，如果他不洗衣，也不洗身，應負罪債。」
ether his bodi, he schal bere his wickidnesse.
