Leviticus 17
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
2 “Speak to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites and tell them this is what the LORD has commanded:
Tal til Aron og hans Sønner og alle Israeliterne og sig til dem: Dette har HERREN paabudt:
3 ‘Anyone from the house of Israel who slaughters an ox, a lamb, or a goat in the camp or outside of it
Om nogen af Israels Hus slagter et Stykke Hornkvæg, et Faar eller en Ged i Lejren, eller han slagter dem uden for Lejren,
4 instead of bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD before His tabernacle—that man shall incur bloodguilt. He has shed blood and must be cut off from among his people.
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.
5 For this reason the Israelites will bring to the LORD the sacrifices they have been offering in the open fields. They are to bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and offer them as sacrifices of peace to the LORD.
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.
6 The priest will then sprinkle the blood on the altar of the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and burn the fat as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
Præsten skal da sprænge Blodet paa HERRENS Alter ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet og bringe Fedtet som Røgoffer, en liflig Duft for HERREN.
7 They must no longer offer their sacrifices to the goat demons to which they have prostituted themselves. This will be a permanent statute for them for the generations to come.’
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!
8 Tell them that if anyone from the house of Israel or any foreigner living among them offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice
Og du skal sige til dem: Om nogen af Israels Hus eller de fremmede, der bor iblandt eder, ofrer et Brændoffer eller Slagtoffer
9 but does not bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the LORD, that man must be cut off from his people.
og ikke bringer det hen til Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang for at ofre det til HERREN, da skal den Mand udryddes af sin Slægt.
10 If anyone from the house of Israel or a foreigner living among them eats any blood, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from among his people.
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.
11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for your souls upon the altar; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.
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.
12 Therefore I say to the Israelites, ‘None of you may eat blood, nor may any foreigner living among you eat blood.’
Derfor har jeg sagt til Israeliterne: Ingen af eder maa nyde Blod; heller ikke den fremmede, der bor iblandt eder, maa nyde Blod.
13 And if any Israelite or foreigner living among them hunts down a wild animal or bird that may be eaten, he must drain its blood and cover it with dirt.
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.
14 For the life of all flesh is its blood. Therefore I have told the Israelites, ‘You must not eat the blood of any living thing, because the life of all flesh is its blood; whoever eats it must be cut off.’
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.
15 And any person, whether native or foreigner, who eats anything found dead or mauled by wild beasts must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening; then he will be clean.
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.
16 But if he does not wash his clothes and bathe himself, then he shall bear his iniquity.”
Men hvis han ikke tvætter sine Klæder og bader sig, skal han undgælde for sin Brøde.
