Leviticus 17

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

١ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

2 Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel, saying to them: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded, saying:

٢ «كَلِّمْ هَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ وَجَمِيعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي يُوصِي بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ قَائِلًا:

3 Any man whosoever of the house of Israel if he kill an ox, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp, or without the camp,

٣ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَذْبَحُ بَقَرًا أَوْ غَنَمًا أَوْ مِعْزًى فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، أَوْ يَذْبَحُ خَارِجَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ،

4 And offer it not at the door of the tabernacle an oblation to the Lord, shall be guilty of blood: as if he had shed blood, so shall he perish from the midst of his people.

٤ وَإِلَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ لَا يَأْتِي بِهِ لِيُقَرِّبَ قُرْبَانًا لِلرَّبِّ أَمَامَ مَسْكَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ، يُحْسَبُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ دَمٌ. قَدْ سَفَكَ دَمًا. فَيُقْطَعُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ مِنْ شَعْبِهِ.

5 Therefore the children of Israel shall bring to the priest their victims, which they kill in the field, that they may be sanctified to the Lord before the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and they may sacrifice them for peace offerings to the Lord.

٥ لِكَيْ يَأْتِيَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِذَبَائِحِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي يَذْبَحُونَهَا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلصَّحْرَاءِ وَيُقَدِّمُوهَا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ إِلَى ٱلْكَاهِنِ، وَيَذْبَحُوهَا ذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ لِلرَّبِّ.

6 And the priest shall pour the blood upon the altar of the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and shall burn the fat for a sweet odour to the Lord.

٦ وَيَرُشُّ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلدَّمَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ لَدَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَيُوقِدُ ٱلشَّحْمَ لِرَائِحَةِ سَرُورٍ لِلرَّبِّ.

7 And they shall no more sacrifice their victims to devils, with whom they have committed fornication. It shall be an ordinance for ever to them and to their posterity.

٧ وَلَا يَذْبَحُوا بَعْدُ ذَبَائِحَهُمْ لِلتُّيُوسِ ٱلَّتِي هُمْ يَزْنُونَ وَرَاءَهَا. فَرِيضَةً دَهْرِيَّةً تَكُونُ هَذِهِ لَهُمْ فِي أَجْيَالِهِمْ.

8 And thou shalt say to them: The man of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who sojourn among you, that offereth a holocaust or a victim,

٨ «وَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمِنَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَنْزِلُونَ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ يُصْعِدُ مُحْرَقَةً أَوْ ذَبِيحَةً،

9 And bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be offered to the Lord, shall perish from among his people.

٩ وَلَا يَأْتِي بِهَا إِلَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ لِيَصْنَعَهَا لِلرَّبِّ، يُقْطَعُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ مِنْ شَعْبِهِ.

10 If any man whosoever of the house of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among them, eat blood, I will set my face against his soul, and will cut him off from among his people:

١٠ وَكُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمِنَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ ٱلنَّازِلِينَ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ يَأْكُلُ دَمًا، أَجْعَلُ وَجْهِي ضِدَّ ٱلنَّفْسِ ٱلْآكِلَةِ ٱلدَّمِ وَأَقْطَعُهَا مِنْ شَعْبِهَا،

11 Because the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you, that you may make atonement with it upon the altar for your souls, and the blood may be for an expiation of the soul.

١١ لِأَنَّ نَفْسَ ٱلْجَسَدِ هِيَ فِي ٱلدَّمِ، فَأَنَا أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ إِيَّاهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْ نُفُوسِكُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلدَّمَ يُكَفِّرُ عَنِ ٱلنَّفْسِ.

12 Therefore I have said to the children of Israel: No soul of you, nor of the strangers that sojourn among you, shall eat blood.

١٢ لِذَلِكَ قُلْتُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: لَا تَأْكُلْ نَفْسٌ مِنْكُمْ دَمًا، وَلَا يَأْكُلِ ٱلْغَرِيبُ ٱلنَّازِلُ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ دَمًا.

13 Any man whosoever of the children of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among you, if by hunting or fowling, he take a wild beast or a bird, which is lawful to eat, let him pour out its blood, and cover it with earth.

١٣ وَكُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمِنَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ ٱلنَّازِلِينَ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ يَصْطَادُ صَيْدًا، وَحْشًا أَوْ طَائِرًا يُؤْكَلُ، يَسْفِكُ دَمَهُ وَيُغَطِّيهِ بِٱلتُّرَابِ.

14 For the life of all flesh is in the blood: therefore I said to the children of Israel: You shall not eat the blood of any flesh at all, because the life of the flesh is in the blood, and whosoever eateth it, shall be cut off.

١٤ لِأَنَّ نَفْسَ كُلِّ جَسَدٍ دَمُهُ هُوَ بِنَفْسِهِ، فَقُلْتُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: لَا تَأْكُلُوا دَمَ جَسَدٍ مَّا، لِأَنَّ نَفْسَ كُلِّ جَسَدٍ هِيَ دَمُهُ. كُلُّ مَنْ أَكَلَهُ يُقْطَعُ.

15 The soul that eateth that which died of itself, or has been caught by a beast, whether he be one of your own country or a stranger, shall wash his clothes and himself with water, and shall be defiled until the evening: and in this manner he shall be made clean.

١٥ وَكُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ يَأْكُلُ مَيْتَةً أَوْ فَرِيسَةً، وَطَنِيًّا كَانَ أَوْ غَرِيبًا، يَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَسْتَحِمُّ بِمَاءٍ، وَيَبْقَى نَجِسًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ طَاهِرًا.

16 But if he do not wash his clothes, and his body, he shall bear his iniquity.

١٦ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَغْسِلْ وَلَمْ يَرْحَضْ جَسَدَهُ يَحْمِلْ ذَنْبَهُ».
