3 Mosebog 17
1 HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Tal til Aron og hans Sønner og alle Israeliterne og sig til dem: Dette har HERREN påbudt:
“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the people of Israel. Tell them 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,
'Any man from Israel who kills an ox, lamb, or goat in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp, in order to sacrifice it—
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 he does not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to offer it as a sacrifice to Yahweh before his tabernacle, that man is guilty of bloodshed. He has shed blood, and that man must 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.
The purpose of this command is so that the people of Israel will bring their sacrifices to Yahweh at the entrance to the tent of meeting, to the priest to be sacrificed as fellowship offerings to Yahweh, instead of offering sacrifices in an open field.
6 Præsten skal da sprænge Blodet på HERRENs Alter ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet og bringe Fedtet som Røgoffer, en liflig Duft for HERREN.
The priest will sprinkle the blood on Yahweh's altar at the entrance to the tent of meeting; he will burn the fat for it to produce a sweet aroma for Yahweh.
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!
The people must no longer offer their sacrifices to goat idols, for which they act as prostitutes. This will be a permanent statute for them throughout their people's 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
You must say to them, 'Any man of Israel, or any foreigner who lives among them, who offers a burnt offering or 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 tent of meeting in order to sacrifice it to Yahweh, that man must be cut off from 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.
If any person of the house of Israel, or any foreigner who lives among them consumes any blood, I will set my face against that person who consumes 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 an animal is in its blood. I have given its blood to you to make atonement on the altar for your lives, because it is the blood that makes atonement, for it is the blood that atones for the life.
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 I said to the people of Israel that no one among you must eat blood, neither may any foreigner who lives 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 må spises, da skal han lade Blodet løbe ud og dække det med Jord.
Anyone of the people of Israel, or any of the foreigners who live among them, who hunts and kills an animal or bird that may be eaten, that person must pour out its blood and cover the blood with earth.
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 each creature is its blood. That is why I said to the people of Israel, “You must not eat the blood of any creature, for the life of every living creature is its blood. Whoever eats it must 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.
Every person who eats an animal that has died or that has been torn by wild animals, whether that person is native born or a foreigner living among you, he must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until the evening. Then he will be clean.
16 Men hvis han ikke tvætter sine Klæder og bader sig, skal han undgælde for sin Brøde.
But if he does not wash his clothes or bathe his body, then he must carry his guilt.'”
