Levitski zakonik 17
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Govori Aronu, njegovim sinovima i svima Izraelcima te im reci: 'Evo što je zapovjedio Jahve:
“Speak to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites and tell them this is what the LORD has commanded:
3 svaki onaj od Izraelova doma koji u taboru ili izvan tabora zakolje vola, ili ovcu, ili kozu,
‘Anyone from the house of Israel who slaughters an ox, a lamb, or a goat in the camp or outside of it
4 a ne donese ih na ulaz u Šator sastanka da se prinesu na dar Jahvi pred njegovim Prebivalištem, svaki takav neka je odgovoran: prolio je krv i neka se odstrani iz svoga naroda.'
instead of bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD before His tabernacle—that man shall incur bloodguilt. He has shed blood and must be cut off from among his people.
5 Zato neka Izraelci svoje žrtve koje bi htjeli klati vani u polju dovedu na ulaz u Šator sastanka, k svećeniku, i neka ih prinose kao žrtve pričesnice.
For this reason the Israelites will bring to the LORD the sacrifices they have been offering in the open fields. They are to bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and offer them as sacrifices of peace to the LORD.
6 Neka svećenik izlije krv po Jahvinu žrtveniku koji se nalazi na ulazu u Šator sastanka, a loj spali na ugodan miris Jahvi,
The priest will then sprinkle the blood on the altar of the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and burn the fat as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
7 tako da ubuduće ne prinose svojih žrtava klanica jarcima s kojima se odaju bludu. Neka je ovo trajan zakon za njih i njihove naraštaje.
They must no longer offer their sacrifices to the goat demons to which they have prostituted themselves. This will be a permanent statute for them for the generations to come.’
8 I kaži im: 'Svaki pojedinac od Izraelova doma, ili stranac koji među vama boravi, koji prinese paljenicu ili klanicu
Tell them that if anyone from the house of Israel or any foreigner living among them offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice
9 a ne donese je na ulaz u Šator sastanka da se prinese Jahvi, taj neka se odstrani iz svoga naroda.'”
but does not bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the LORD, that man must be cut off from his people.
10 “Nadalje, protiv svakoga pojedinca od Izraelova doma, a tako i protiv svakoga pridošlice među vama koji bi blagovao bilo kakvu krv, ja ću se okrenuti, svakoga tko blaguje krv odstranit ću iz njegova naroda.
If anyone from the house of Israel or a foreigner living among them eats any blood, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from among his people.
11 Jer je život živoga bića u krvi. Tu krv ja sam vama dao da na žrtveniku njome obavljate obred pomirenja za svoje živote. Jer krv je ono što ispašta za život.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for your souls upon the altar; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.
12 Zato sam kazao Izraelcima: neka nitko od vas ne jede krvi; neka ni stranac koji među vama bude ne jede krvi.
Therefore I say to the Israelites, ‘None of you may eat blood, nor may any foreigner living among you eat blood.’
13 Tko god, Izraelac ili stranac koji među vama boravi, uhvati u lovu kakvu zvijer ili pticu što se može jesti neka joj prolije krv i zatrpa zemljom.
And if any Israelite or foreigner living among them hunts down a wild animal or bird that may be eaten, he must drain its blood and cover it with dirt.
14 Jer život svakoga živog bića jest njegova krv. Zato sam i rekao Izraelcima: ne smijete jesti krvi ni od kakva živog bića, jer život svakoga živog bića jest njegova krv. Tko god je bude jeo, neka se odstrani.
For the life of all flesh is its blood. Therefore I have told the Israelites, ‘You must not eat the blood of any living thing, because the life of all flesh is its blood; whoever eats it must be cut off.’
15 Tko bi god, Izraelac ili stranac, jeo što je uginulo ili što su zvijeri rastrgale neka opere svoju odjeću, u vodi se okupa i ostane nečistim do večeri. Tada će postati čist.
And any person, whether native or foreigner, who eats anything found dead or mauled by wild beasts must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening; then he will be clean.
16 Ali ako je ne opere i ne okupa svoga tijela, neka snosi posljedice svoje krivnje.”
But if he does not wash his clothes and bathe himself, then he shall bear his iniquity.”
