3 Mosebog 17
1 HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Tal til Aron og hans Sønner og alle Israeliterne og sig til dem: Dette har HERREN paabudt:
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 Om nogen af Israels Hus slagter et Stykke Hornkvæg, et Faar eller en Ged i Lejren, eller han slagter dem uden for Lejren,
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 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 Og du skal sige til dem: Om nogen af Israels Hus eller de fremmede, der bor iblandt eder, ofrer et Brændoffer eller Slagtoffer
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 og ikke bringer det hen til Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang for at ofre det til HERREN, da skal den Mand udryddes af sin Slægt.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Derfor har jeg sagt til Israeliterne: Ingen af eder maa nyde Blod; heller ikke den fremmede, der bor iblandt eder, maa nyde Blod.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 Men hvis han ikke tvætter sine Klæder og bader sig, skal han undgælde for sin Brøde.
But if he do not wash his clothes, and his body, he shall bear his iniquity.
