Leviticus 17
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说：
2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, This is the word which the Lord has commanded, saying,
“你晓谕亚伦和他儿子并以色列众人说，耶和华所吩咐的乃是这样：
3 Every man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers abiding among you, who shall kill a calf, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp, or who shall kill it out of the camp,
凡以色列家中的人宰公牛，或是绵羊羔，或是山羊，不拘宰于营内营外，
4 and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness, so as to sacrifice it for a whole-burnt-offering or peace-offering to the Lord to be acceptable for a sweet-smelling savour: and whosoever shall slay it without, and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness, so as to offer it as a gift to the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord; blood shall be imputed to that man, he has shed blood; that soul shall be cut off from his people.
若未曾牵到会幕门口、耶和华的帐幕前献给耶和华为供物，流血的罪必归到那人身上。他流了血，要从民中剪除。
5 That the children of Israel may offer their sacrifices, all that they shall slay in the fields, and bring them to the Lord unto the doors of the tabernacle of witness to the priest, and they shall sacrifice them as a peace-offering to the Lord.
这是为要使以色列人把他们在田野里所献的祭带到会幕门口、耶和华面前，交给祭司，献与耶和华为平安祭。
6 And the priest shall pour the blood on the altar round about before the Lord by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and shall offer the fat for a sweet-smelling savour to the Lord.
祭司要把血洒在会幕门口、耶和华的坛上，把脂油焚烧，献给耶和华为馨香的祭。
7 And they shall no longer offer their sacrifices to vain [gods] after which they go a whoring; it shall be a perpetual statute to you for your generations.
他们不可再献祭给他们行邪淫所随从的鬼魔；这要作他们世世代代永远的定例。
8 And thou shalt say to them, Whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the sons of the proselytes abiding among you, shall offer a whole-burnt-offering or a sacrifice,
“你要晓谕他们说：凡以色列家中的人，或是寄居在他们中间的外人，献燔祭或是平安祭，
9 and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness to sacrifice it to the Lord, that man shall be destroyed from among his people.
若不带到会幕门口献给耶和华，那人必从民中剪除。
10 And whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers abiding among you, shall eat any blood, I will even set my face against that soul that eats blood, and will destroy it from its people.
“凡以色列家中的人，或是寄居在他们中间的外人，若吃什么血，我必向那吃血的人变脸，把他从民中剪除。
11 For the life of flesh is its blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for its blood shall make atonement for the soul.
因为活物的生命是在血中。我把这血赐给你们，可以在坛上为你们的生命赎罪；因血里有生命，所以能赎罪。
12 Therefore I said to the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, and the stranger that abides among you shall not eat blood.
因此，我对以色列人说：你们都不可吃血；寄居在你们中间的外人也不可吃血。
13 And whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers abiding among you shall take any animal in hunting, beast, or bird, which is eaten, then shall he pour out the blood, and cover it in the dust.
凡以色列人，或是寄居在他们中间的外人，若打猎得了可吃的禽兽，必放出它的血来，用土掩盖。
14 For the blood of all flesh is its life; and I said to the children of Israel, Ye shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood: every one that eats it shall be destroyed.
“论到一切活物的生命，就在血中。所以我对以色列人说：无论什么活物的血，你们都不可吃，因为一切活物的血就是他的生命。凡吃了血的，必被剪除。
15 And every soul which eats that which has died of itself, or is taken of beasts, either among the natives or among the strangers, shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening: then shall he be clean.
凡吃自死的，或是被野兽撕裂的，无论是本地人，是寄居的，必不洁净到晚上，都要洗衣服，用水洗身，到了晚上才为洁净。
16 But if he do not wash his garments, and do not bathe his body in water, then shall he bear his iniquity.
但他若不洗衣服，也不洗身，就必担当他的罪孽。”
