Leviticus 17
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
上主訓示梅瑟說：」
2 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel; and you have said to them: This [is] the thing which YHWH has commanded, saying,
你告訴亞郎和他的兒子以及全體以色列子民說：上主這樣吩咐說：
3 Any man of the house of Israel who slaughters ox, or lamb, or goat in the camp, or who slaughters [it] at the outside of the camp,
以色列家中任何人，在營內或在營外，宰殺牛或綿羊或山羊，
4 and has not brought it in to the opening of the Tent of Meeting to bring an offering near to YHWH before the Dwelling Place of YHWH, blood is reckoned to that man—he has shed blood—and that man has been cut off from the midst of his people;
而不牽到會幕門口，在上主住所前，奉獻給上主作祭品，這人就應負流血的罪債；他既使血流出，就應由民間剷除。
5 so that the sons of Israel bring in their sacrifices which they are sacrificing on the face of the field, indeed, they have brought them to YHWH, to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and they have sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offerings to YHWH with them.
為此，以色列子民應將他們平素在野外宰殺的犧牲，牽到上主面前，再會幕門口交與司祭宰殺這些犧牲，獻給上主作和平祭。
6 And the priest has sprinkled the blood on the altar of YHWH, at the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and has made incense with the fat for refreshing fragrance to YHWH;
司祭將牲血灑再會幕門口上主的祭壇上，焚燒脂肪，化為中悅上主的馨香。
7 and they do not sacrifice their sacrifices anymore to the goat [idols] after which they are going whoring; this is a continuous statute to them, throughout their generations.
從此以後，他們不應再宰殺犧牲，獻給他們非法敬拜的一些山羊神：這位他們世世代代是一向永久的法令。
8 And you say to them: Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners who sojourns in your midst, who causes burnt-offering or sacrifice to ascend,
此外，你們應吩咐他們說：以色列家及僑居在他們中間的外方人，誰若願意獻全番祭或祭獻，
9 and does not bring it in to the opening of the Tent of Meeting to make it to YHWH—that man has been cut off from his people.
而不牽到會幕門口，奉獻給上主，這人就應由民間剷除。
10 And any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners who is sojourning in your midst, who eats any blood, I have even set My face against the person who is eating the blood, and have cut him off from the midst of his people;
以色列家及僑居在他們中間的外方人，有人吃了什麼血，我必怒容而視，與吃血的人作對，由民間將他剷除。
11 for the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar, to make atonement for your souls; for it [is] the blood which makes atonement for the soul.
因為肉軀的生命是在血內，我為你們指定了血，在祭壇上為你們的生命贖罪，因為血具有生命，故能贖罪。
12 Therefore I have said to the sons of Israel: No person among you eats blood, and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst does not eat blood;
為此，我吩咐以色列子民說：你們中任何人都不可吃血；僑居在你們中間的外方人，也不可吃血。
13 and any man of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners who is sojourning in your midst, who hunts game, beast or bird, which is eaten—has even poured out its blood and covered it with dust;
以色列子民和僑居在他們中間的外方人，誰若獵取了可食的野獸或飛禽，該放盡牠的血，用泥土蓋上。
14 for [it is] the life of all flesh, its blood is for its life; and I say to the sons of Israel: You do not eat [the] blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood; anyone eating it is cut off.
因為一切肉區的生命都繫於血，為此，我吩咐以色列子民說：任何肉上的血，你們都不可吃，因為一切肉軀的生命，都繫於血，誰吃了，應被剷除。
15 And any person who eats a carcass or torn thing, among natives or among sojourners, has washed his garments and bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening—then he has been clean;
論是本地人或外方人，吃了自死或被猛獸撕裂的禽獸，應洗自己的衣服，用水洗澡，直到晚上是不潔的；以後他才潔淨。
16 and if he does not wash, and does not bathe his flesh—then he has borne his iniquity.”
但是，如果他不洗衣，也不洗身，應負罪債。」
