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 påbudt:
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 Får eller en Ged i Lejren, eller han slagter dem uden for Lejren,
Any man whatsoever of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or a sheep, or a goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,
4 uden at bringe dem hen til Åbenbaringsteltets Indgang for at bringe HERREN en Offergave foran HERRENs Bolig, da skal dette tillegnes den Mand som Blodskyld; han har udgydt Blod, og den Mand skal udryddes af sit Folk.
And bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it as an offering unto the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord: as blood-guiltiness shall it be imputed unto that man, blood hath he shed; 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 på Marken, til HERREN, til Åbenbaringsteltets Indgang, til Præsten, og ofre dem som Takofre til HERREN.
In order that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they slay in the open field, and bring them unto the Lord, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and slay them as sacrifices of peace-offerings unto the Lord.
6 Præsten skal da sprænge Blodet på HERRENs Alter ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet og bringe Fedtet som Røgoffer, en liflig Duft for HERREN.
And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; and he shall burn the fat for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
7 Og de må ikke mere ofre deres Slagtofre til Bukketroldene, som de boler med. Det skal være en evig gyldig Anordning for dem fra Slægt til Slægt!
So that they shall offer no more their sacrifices unto evil spirits, after which they have gone astray: a statute for ever shall this be 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 unto them shalt thou say, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who may sojourn among them, that offereth a burnt-offering or a sacrifice,
9 og ikke bringer det hen til Åbenbaringsteltets Indgang for at ofre det til HERREN, da skal den Mand udryddes af sin Slægt.
And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the Lord: even that man shall be cut off from among his people.
10 Om nogen af Israels Hus eller af de fremmede, der bor iblandt dem, nyder noget Blod, så vender jeg mit Åsyn mod den, der nyder Blodet, og udrydde1 ham af hans Folk.
And if there be any man 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 the person that eateth the blood, and I will cut him off from among his people.
11 Thi Kødets Sjæl er i Blodet, og jeg har givet eder det til Brug på 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 appointed it for you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls; for the blood it is that maketh an atonement for the soul.
12 Derfor har jeg sagt til Israeliterne: Ingen af eder må nyde Blod; heller ikke den fremmede, der bor iblandt eder, må nyde Blod.
Therefore have I said unto the children of Israel, No one of you shall eat blood, and the stranger that sojourneth among you shall not 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 må spises, da skal han lade Blodet løbe ud og dække det med Jord.
And if there be any man whatsoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who catcheth by hunting any beast or fowl that may be eaten: then shall he pour out the blood thereof, and cover it up with dust.
14 Thi om alt Køds Sjæl gælder det, at dets Blod er dets Sjæl; derfor har jeg sagt til Israeliterne: I må 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 its blood, on which its life dependeth; therefore have I said unto the children of Israel, The blood of every manner of flesh shall ye not eat; for the life of all flesh is its blood, every one who eateth it shall be cut off.
15 Enhver, der spiser seldøde 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; så er han ren.
And every person that eateth that which hath died of itself, or that which was torn by beasts, be this one born in your own country, or a stranger, shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening, when he shall 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 shall he bear his iniquity.
