Leviticus 17
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Yavé habló a Moisés:
2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, This is the word which the Lord has commanded, saying,
Habla a Aarón, a sus hijos y a todos los hijos de Israel: Esto es lo que Yavé ordenó:
3 Every man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers dwelling amongst you, who shall kill a calf, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp, or who shall kill it out of the camp,
A cualquier hombre de la casa de Israel que mate en sacrificio un becerro, un cordero o una cabra dentro del campamento, o que lo degüelle fuera del campamento,
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 whoever shall kill 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.
y que no lo lleve a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión para que el animal sea presentado ante Yavé delante del Tabernáculo de Yavé, le será imputada la sangre. Derramó sangre, y tal hombre será cortado de su pueblo.
5 That the children of Israel may offer their sacrifices, all that they shall kill in the fields, and bring them to the Lord to the doors of the tabernacle of witness to the priest, and they shall sacrifice them as a peace-offering to the Lord.
Los hijos de Israel llevarán los animales que sacrificaban en el campo y los presentarán ante Yavé al sacerdote en la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión. Allí los matarán como sacrificios de paz a Yavé.
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.
El sacerdote rociará la sangre sobre el altar de Yavé en la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión, y ordenará quemar la grasa en olor que apacigua a Yavé.
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.
Nunca más harán sus sacrificios a los demonios, tras los cuales se prostituyeron. Tendrán esto como estatuto perpetuo a través de sus generaciones.
8 And you shall say to them, Whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the sons of the proselytes dwelling amongst you, shall offer a whole burnt offering or a sacrifice,
Les dirás: Cualquier hombre de la casa de Israel, o extranjero que peregrina en medio de ellos, que ofrezca holocausto o sacrificio,
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 amongst his people.
y no lo lleve a Yavé para ofrecerlo en la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión, será cortado de su pueblo.
10 And whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers dwelling amongst you, shall eat any blood, I will even set my face against that soul that eats blood, and will destroy it from its people.
Yo me enfrentaré a aquella persona que coma cualquier clase de sangre, sea de la casa de Israel o extranjero que peregrina entre ellos. A la persona que coma sangre la cortaré de su pueblo.
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.
Porque la vida de la carne está en la sangre, y Yo se la di para que hagan sobre el altar sacrificio que apacigua por ellos mismos. Porque la sangre es la que hace sacrificio que apacigua por ustedes mismos.
12 Therefore I said to the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, and the stranger that abides amongst you shall not eat blood.
Por tanto dije a los hijos de Israel: Ninguna persona entre ustedes comerá sangre. Tampoco el extranjero que peregrina entre ustedes comerá sangre.
13 And whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers dwelling amongst 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.
Cualquier hombre de los hijos de Israel o de los extranjeros que peregrinan entre ellos, que cace animal o ave que se pueda comer, derramará su sangre y la cubrirá con tierra,
14 For the blood of all flesh is its life; and I said to the children of Israel, You 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.
porque la vida de toda carne está en su sangre. Por tanto, dije a los hijos de Israel: No comerán la sangre de ninguna carne, porque la vida de toda carne es su sangre. Todo el que la coma será cortado.
15 And every soul which eats that which has died of itself, or is taken of beasts, either amongst the natives or amongst the strangers, shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening: then shall he be clean.
Cualquier persona, sea nativo o extranjero, que coma animal mortecino o destrozado [por fieras], lavará sus ropas, se lavará con agua y será impura hasta llegar la noche. Entonces quedará purificada.
16 But if he do not wash his garments, and do not bathe his body in water, then shall he bear his iniquity.
Pero si no lava sus ropas ni lava su cuerpo, cargará su culpa.
