3 Mosebog 17
1 HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Tal til Aron og hans Sønner og alle Israeliterne og sig til dem: Dette har HERREN påbudt:
“Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the other Israeli people, and say this to them: ‘This is what Yahweh has commanded:
3 Om nogen af Israels Hus slagter et Stykke Hornkvæg, et Får eller en Ged i Lejren, eller han slagter dem uden for Lejren,
If you sacrifice an ox or a lamb or a goat, you must bring it [to the priest] at the entrance of the Sacred Tent [area], to present/offer it to me there.
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.
If you slaughter it to be a sacrifice anywhere else in the camp or outside the camp, you will be guilty of killing an animal [in an unacceptable place]. As a result you will no longer be allowed to be/associate with my 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.
That rule is in order that you Israeli people, instead of offering sacrifices in the open fields, will offer them to me by taking them to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent [area], to be offerings to maintain fellowship [with me].
6 Præsten skal da sprænge Blodet på HERRENs Alter ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet og bringe Fedtet som Røgoffer, en liflig Duft for HERREN.
[After the animal is slaughtered], the priest must sprinkle some of its blood against the altar at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and burn its fat to be an aroma that is pleasing to me.
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!
You people must no longer give sacrifices to the demons that resemble goats which you are worshiping. You people must obey this command forever.’
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 tell this to the people: ‘If any Israeli or any foreigner who is living among them brings an offering that is to be completely burned [on the altar], or any other 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 does not bring it to the entrance of the Sacred Tent [area] to be a sacrifice to me, that person will no longer be allowed to associate with my 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.
‘I will reject [IDM] any Israeli or any foreigner who is living among you who eats any blood, and I [will command that he] no longer be allowed to associate with my 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.
That is because the life of every creature is in its blood; I have declared that it is blood that is to be offered on the altar to enable people to be forgiven for their sins.
12 Derfor har jeg sagt til Israeliterne: Ingen af eder må nyde Blod; heller ikke den fremmede, der bor iblandt eder, må nyde Blod.
That is why I say that you Israelis must not eat blood, and the foreigners who live among you must also 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.
‘Any Israeli or any foreigner who is living among you who hunts any animal or bird that is permitted for you to eat, must drain out the blood [of the animal or bird that he kills], and cover the blood with dirt.
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.
This is because the life of every creature is in its blood. And that is why I have said [DOU] to you Israelis that anyone who eats blood must no longer [be allowed to associate with my people].
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.
‘Anyone in Israel, including foreigners, who eats any of the meat of any creature that is found dead, or that had been killed by wild animals, must wash his clothes and bathe. Then he must not touch anyone until that evening.
16 Men hvis han ikke tvætter sine Klæder og bader sig, skal han undgælde for sin Brøde.
If he does not do those things, he will be punished for what he did.’”
