3 Mosebog 17
1 HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 Tal til Aron og hans Sønner og alle Israeliterne og sig til dem: Dette har HERREN paabudt:
Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel: This is the order which the Lord has given.
3 Om nogen af Israels Hus slagter et Stykke Hornkvæg, et Faar eller en Ged i Lejren, eller han slagter dem uden for Lejren,
If any man of Israel puts to death an ox or a lamb or a goat, in or outside the tent-circle;
4 uden at bringe dem hen til Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang for at bringe HERREN en Offergave foran HERRENS Bolig, da skal dette tilregnes den Mand som Blodskyld; han har udgydt Blod, og den Mand skal udryddes af sit Folk.
And has not taken it to the door of the Tent of meeting, to make an offering to the Lord, before the Lord's House, its blood will be on him, for he has taken life, and he will be cut off from among his people:
5 Dette er anordnet, for at Israeliterne skal bringe deres Slagtofre, som de slagter ude paa Marken, til HERREN, til Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang, til Præsten, og ofre dem som Takofre til HERREN.
So that the children of Israel may take to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting and to the priest, the offerings which they have put to death in the open country, and that they may make their peace-offerings to the Lord.
6 Præsten skal da sprænge Blodet paa HERRENS Alter ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet og bringe Fedtet som Røgoffer, en liflig Duft for HERREN.
And the priest will put blood on the altar of the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting, burning the fat for a sweet smell to the Lord.
7 Og de maa ikke mere ofre deres Slagtofre til Bukketroldene, som de boler med. Det skal være en evig gyldig Anordning for dem fra Slægt til Slægt!
And let them make no more offerings to evil spirits, after which they have gone, turning away from the Lord. Let this be a law to them for ever, through all their generations.
8 Og du skal sige til dem: Om nogen af Israels Hus eller de fremmede, der bor iblandt eder, ofrer et Brændoffer eller Slagtoffer
And say to them, If any man of Israel, or any other living among them, makes a burned offering or other offering,
9 og ikke bringer det hen til Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang for at ofre det til HERREN, da skal den Mand udryddes af sin Slægt.
And does not take it to the door of the Tent of meeting to make an offering to the Lord, that man will be cut off from among his people.
10 Om nogen af Israels Hus eller af de fremmede, der bor iblandt dem, nyder noget Blod, saa vender jeg mit Aasyn mod den, der nyder Blodet, og udrydder ham af hans Folk.
And if any man of Israel, or any other living among them, takes any sort of blood for food, my wrath will be turned against that man and he will be cut off from among his people.
11 Thi Kødets Sjæl er i Blodet, og jeg har givet eder det til Brug paa Alteret til at skaffe eders Sjæle Soning; thi det er Blodet, som skaffer Soning, fordi det er Sjælen.
For the life of the flesh is in its blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to take away your sin: for it is the blood which makes free from sin because of the life in it.
12 Derfor har jeg sagt til Israeliterne: Ingen af eder maa nyde Blod; heller ikke den fremmede, der bor iblandt eder, maa nyde Blod.
For this reason I have said to the children of Israel, No man among you, or any others living with you, may take blood as food.
13 Om nogen af Israeliterne eller af de fremmede, der bor iblandt dem, nedlægger et Stykke Vildt eller en Fugl af den Slags, der maa spises, da skal han lade Blodet løbe ud og dække det med Jord.
And any man of Israel, or any other living among them, who gets with his bow any beast or bird used for food, is to see that its blood is covered with earth.
14 Thi om alt Køds Sjæl gælder det, at dets Blod er dets Sjæl; derfor har jeg sagt til Israeliterne: I maa ikke nyde Blodet af noget som helst Kød, thi alt Køds Sjæl er dets Blod; enhver, der nyder det, skal udryddes.
For the blood is the life of all flesh: and so I have said to the children of Israel, You may not take any sort of blood as food, and any man who does so will be cut of.
15 Enhver, der spiser selvdøde eller sønderrevne Dyr, det være sig en indfødt eller en fremmed, skal tvætte sine Klæder og bade sig i Vand og være uren til Aften; saa er han ren.
And anyone who takes as food anything which has come to a natural end, or anything which has been put to death by beasts, if he is one of you by birth, or of another nation, will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening, and then he will be clean.
16 Men hvis han ikke tvætter sine Klæder og bader sig, skal han undgælde for sin Brøde.
But if his clothing is not washed and his body bathed, his sin will be on him.
