Levitski zakonik 17
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Govori Aronu, njegovim sinovima i svima Izraelcima te im reci: 'Evo što je zapovjedio Jahve:
Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, This [is] the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying,
3 svaki onaj od Izraelova doma koji u taboru ili izvan tabora zakolje vola, ili ovcu, ili kozu,
Whatever man [there may be] of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat in the camp, or that killeth [it] out of the camp,
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.'
And bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering to the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed to that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall 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.
To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them to the LORD, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to the priest, and offer them [for] peace-offerings 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,
And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savor 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.
And they shall no more offer their sacrifices to idols, with which they have committed idolatry: This shall be a statute for ever to them throughout their generations.
8 I kaži im: 'Svaki pojedinac od Izraelova doma, ili stranac koji među vama boravi, koji prinese paljenicu ili klanicu
And thou shalt say to them, Whatever man [there may be] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt-offering or sacrifice,
9 a ne donese je na ulaz u Šator sastanka da se prinese Jahvi, taj neka se odstrani iz svoga naroda.'”
And bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it to the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among 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.
And whatever man [there may be] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will 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 upon the altar, to make an atonement for your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an 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 said to the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth 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 whatever man [there may be] of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, who hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out its blood, and cover it with dust.
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 [it is] the life of all flesh, the blood of it [is] for the life of it; therefore I said to the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh [is] its blood: whoever eateth it shall 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 every soul that eateth that which died [of itself], or that which was torn [with beasts], ([whether it is] one of your own country, or a stranger) he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the evening; then shall he be clean.
16 Ali ako je ne opere i ne okupa svoga tijela, neka snosi posljedice svoje krivnje.”
But if he doth not wash [them], nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
