Leviticus 17
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yahvé habló a Moisés, diciendo:
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,
“Habla a Aarón y a sus hijos y a todos los hijos de Israel, y diles: Esta es la orden que ha dado Yahvé:
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,
Cualquier hombre de la casa de Israel que degüelle res vacuna u oveja o cabra dentro del campamento, o fuera del mismo,
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;
sin llevarlos a la entrada del Tabernáculo de la Reunión, para presentarlo como sacrificio a Yahvé ante la Morada de Yahvé, será considerado reo de sangre. Tal hombre ha derramado sangre y será extirpado de en medio de su pueblo.
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.
Por lo cual presentarán los hijos de Israel sus víctimas que (hasta ahora) sacrificaban en el campo; los presentarán al sacerdote, para Yahvé, a la entrada del Tabernáculo de la Reunión, y los ofrecerán como sacrificios pacíficos a Yahvé.
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;
El sacerdote derramará la sangre sobre el altar de Yahvé, a la entrada del Tabernáculo de la Reunión, y quemará el sebo en olor agradable a Yahvé.
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.
De este modo ellos no ofrecerán más sus sacrificios a los demonios, con los cuales están fornicando. Ley perpetua será esta para ellos, de generación en generación.
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,
Diles, pues: Cualquier hombre de la casa de Israel, o de los extranjeros que moran en medio de vosotros, que ofrezca holocausto o sacrificio,
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.
y no lo traiga a la entrada del Tabernáculo de la Reunión para sacrificarlo en honor de Yahvé, será extirpado de entre su pueblo.
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;
Si algún hombre de la casa de Israel, o de los extranjeros que moran en medio de vosotros, comiere cualquier clase de sangre, Yo volveré mi rostro contra el que comiere sangre y lo extirparé de en medio de su pueblo;
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.
porque la vida de la carne está en la sangre, y Yo os la doy para hacer expiación en el altar por vuestras almas; pues mediante la sangre se hace la expiación de las almas.
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;
Por eso mando a los hijos de Israel: Ninguno de vosotros comerá sangre; tampoco coma sangre el extranjero que mora en medio de vosotros.
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;
Todo hombre de la casa de Israel, o de los extranjeros que habitan en medio de ellos, que cazare un animal o un ave que es lícito comer, derramará su sangre y la cubrirá con tierra.
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.
Porque la vida de toda carne es su sangre, en esta consiste su vida. Por eso mando a los hijos de Israel: No comeréis la sangre de carne alguna, pues la vida de toda carne es su sangre. Quienquiera la comiere, será exterminado.
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;
Quien de vuestra gente o de los extranjeros comiere carne mortecina, o presa (de fieras), lavará sus vestidos, se bañará en agua, y quedará impuro hasta la tarde; después será puro.
16 and if he does not wash, and does not bathe his flesh—then he has borne his iniquity.”
Si no los lava ni baña su cuerpo, pagará su iniquidad.”
