利未记 17
1 耶和华对摩西说：
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “你晓谕亚伦和他儿子并以色列众人说，耶和华所吩咐的乃是这样：
Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel, saying to them: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded, saying:
3 凡以色列家中的人宰公牛，或是绵羊羔，或是山羊，不拘宰于营内营外，
Any man whosoever of the house of Israel if he kill an ox, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp, or without the camp,
4 若未曾牵到会幕门口、耶和华的帐幕前献给耶和华为供物，流血的罪必归到那人身上。他流了血，要从民中剪除。
And offer it not at the door of the tabernacle an oblation to the Lord, shall be guilty of blood: as if he had shed blood, so shall he perish from the midst of his people.
5 这是为要使以色列人把他们在田野里所献的祭带到会幕门口、耶和华面前，交给祭司，献与耶和华为平安祭。
Therefore the children of Israel shall bring to the priest their victims, which they kill in the field, that they may be sanctified to the Lord before the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and they may sacrifice them for peace offerings to the Lord.
6 祭司要把血洒在会幕门口、耶和华的坛上，把脂油焚烧，献给耶和华为馨香的祭。
And the priest shall pour the blood upon the altar of the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and shall burn the fat for a sweet odour to the Lord.
7 他们不可再献祭给他们行邪淫所随从的鬼魔；这要作他们世世代代永远的定例。
And they shall no more sacrifice their victims to devils, with whom they have committed fornication. It shall be an ordinance for ever to them and to their posterity.
8 “你要晓谕他们说：凡以色列家中的人，或是寄居在他们中间的外人，献燔祭或是平安祭，
And thou shalt say to them: The man of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who sojourn among you, that offereth a holocaust or a victim,
9 若不带到会幕门口献给耶和华，那人必从民中剪除。
And bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be offered to the Lord, shall perish from among his people.
10 “凡以色列家中的人，或是寄居在他们中间的外人，若吃什么血，我必向那吃血的人变脸，把他从民中剪除。
If any man whosoever of the house of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among them, eat blood, I will set my face against his soul, and will cut him off from among his people:
11 因为活物的生命是在血中。我把这血赐给你们，可以在坛上为你们的生命赎罪；因血里有生命，所以能赎罪。
Because the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you, that you may make atonement with it upon the altar for your souls, and the blood may be for an expiation of the soul.
12 因此，我对以色列人说：你们都不可吃血；寄居在你们中间的外人也不可吃血。
Therefore I have said to the children of Israel: No soul of you, nor of the strangers that sojourn among you, shall eat blood.
13 凡以色列人，或是寄居在他们中间的外人，若打猎得了可吃的禽兽，必放出它的血来，用土掩盖。
Any man whosoever of the children of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among you, if by hunting or fowling, he take a wild beast or a bird, which is lawful to eat, let him pour out its blood, and cover it with earth.
14 “论到一切活物的生命，就在血中。所以我对以色列人说：无论什么活物的血，你们都不可吃，因为一切活物的血就是他的生命。凡吃了血的，必被剪除。
For the life of all flesh is in the blood: therefore I said to the children of Israel: You shall not eat the blood of any flesh at all, because the life of the flesh is in the blood, and whosoever eateth it, shall be cut off.
15 凡吃自死的，或是被野兽撕裂的，无论是本地人，是寄居的，必不洁净到晚上，都要洗衣服，用水洗身，到了晚上才为洁净。
The soul that eateth that which died of itself, or has been caught by a beast, whether he be one of your own country or a stranger, shall wash his clothes and himself with water, and shall be defiled until the evening: and in this manner he shall be made clean.
16 但他若不洗衣服，也不洗身，就必担当他的罪孽。”
But if he do not wash his clothes, and his body, he shall bear his iniquity.
