3 Mosebog 17

1 HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

2 Tal til Aron og hans Sønner og alle Israeliterne og sig til dem: Dette har HERREN paabudt:

Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them: This is the thing 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,

What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it 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 hath not brought it unto the door of the tent of meeting, to present it as an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD, blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall 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.

To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace-offerings unto 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 dash the blood against the altar of the LORD at the door of the tent of meeting, and make the fat smoke for a sweet savour unto 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 sacrifices unto the satyrs, after whom they go astray. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout 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 thou shalt say unto them: Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that offereth a burnt-offering or sacrifice,

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 unto the door of the tent of meeting, to sacrifice it unto the LORD, even that man shall be cut off from 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 whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood, I will set My face against that soul that eateth blood, 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.

For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life.

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 said unto the children of Israel: No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you 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.

And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that taketh in hunting any beast or fowl that may be eaten, he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.

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 as to the life of all flesh, the blood thereof is all one with the life thereof; therefore I said unto the children of Israel: Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh; for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof; 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.

And every soul that eateth that which dieth of itself, or that which is torn of beasts, whether he be home-born or a stranger, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even; then shall he be clean.

16 Men hvis han ikke tvætter sine Klæder og bader sig, skal han undgælde for sin Brøde.

But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.
