Leviticus 17
1 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
El Señor le dijo a Moisés,
2 "Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: 'This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded,
“Dile a Aarón, a sus hijos y a todos los israelitas que esto es lo que el Señor ordena:
3 Whatever man there is of the house of Israel, who kills a bull, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp,
Cualquier israelita que mate un toro, un cordero o una cabra, ya sea dentro o fuera del campamento,
4 and hasn't brought it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, so as to sacrifice it for a burnt offering or peace offering to Jehovah to be acceptable as a soothing aroma, and whoever shall kill it outside, and shall not bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting to offer it as an offering to Jehovah before the tabernacle of Jehovah, blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people.
en lugar de llevarlo a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión para presentarlo como ofrenda al Señor allí, esa persona será considerada culpable de asesinato ilegal. Han derramado sangre y deben ser expulsados de su pueblo.
5 This is to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to Jehovah, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to Jehovah.
“Por eso los israelitas tienen que llevar al Señor los sacrificios que actualmente ofrecen en los campos. Deben llevarlos al sacerdote a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión y ofrecerlos como ofrendas de paz al Señor.
6 The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of Jehovah at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to Jehovah.
El sacerdote rociará la sangre sobre el altar del Señor a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión, y quemará la grasa, agradable al Señor.
7 They shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations.'
“No deben seguir ofreciendo sus sacrificios al diablo de las cabras con el que han actuado como prostitutas. Esta es una regulación para todos los tiempos y para todas las generaciones futuras.
8 "You shall say to them, 'Any man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,
“Adviértanles que cualquier israelita o extranjero que viva entre ellos que ofrezca un holocausto o un sacrificio
9 and doesn't bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to sacrifice it to Jehovah; that man shall be cut off from his people.
sin llevarlo a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión para sacrificarlo al Señor debe ser expulsado de su pueblo.
10 "'Any man of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners who sojourn among you, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
Desconoceré a cualquier israelita o extranjero que viva entre ellos y coma sangre y los expulsaré 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 that makes atonement by reason of the life.
La vida está en la sangre del cuerpo. Os la he dado para que, poniéndola en el altar, sus vidas puedan ser rectificadas, porque es la sangre que rectifica la vida de la gente.
12 Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, "No person among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood."
Por eso les advierto a los israelitas: Ninguno de ustedes puede comer sangre, y ningún extranjero que viva entre ustedes puede comer sangre.
13 "'Whatever man there is of the children of Israel, or of the foreigners who sojourn among you, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust.
“Cualquier israelita o extranjero que viva entre ellos y que cace y mate un animal salvaje o un pájaro que esté permitido comer, debe drenar la sangre de su cuerpo y cubrirlo con tierra,
14 For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life: therefore I said to the children of Israel, "You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off."
porque la vida está en la sangre del cuerpo. Por eso he advertido a los israelitas: No se permite comer la sangre de nada viviente, porque la vida está en la sangre del cuerpo. Cualquiera que la coma debe ser expulsado.
15 "'Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening: then he shall be clean.
“Todo israelita o extranjero que coma algo que haya sido encontrado muerto o matado por animales salvajes debe lavar sus ropas y lavarlas con agua, y estarán inmundos hasta la noche. Entonces estarán limpios.
16 But if he doesn't wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.'"
Pero si no lavan sus ropas y se lavan con agua, entonces son responsables de su culpa”.
