< Leviticus 17 >
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:
2 "Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: 'This is the thing which the LORD has commanded,
“你晓谕亚伦和他儿子并以色列众人说,耶和华所吩咐的乃是这样:
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,
凡以色列家中的人宰公牛,或是绵羊羔,或是山羊,不拘宰于营内营外,
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 the LORD 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 the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD, blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people.
若未曾牵到会幕门口、耶和华的帐幕前献给耶和华为供物,流血的罪必归到那人身上。他流了血,要从民中剪除。
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 the LORD, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to the LORD.
这是为要使以色列人把他们在田野里所献的祭带到会幕门口、耶和华面前,交给祭司,献与耶和华为平安祭。
6 The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of the LORD at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
祭司要把血洒在会幕门口、耶和华的坛上,把脂油焚烧,献给耶和华为馨香的祭。
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.'
他们不可再献祭给他们行邪淫所随从的鬼魔;这要作他们世世代代永远的定例。
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,
“你要晓谕他们说:凡以色列家中的人,或是寄居在他们中间的外人,献燔祭或是平安祭,
9 and doesn't bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to sacrifice it to the LORD; that man shall be cut off from his people.
若不带到会幕门口献给耶和华,那人必从民中剪除。
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.
“凡以色列家中的人,或是寄居在他们中间的外人,若吃什么血,我必向那吃血的人变脸,把他从民中剪除。
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 that makes atonement by reason of the life.
因为活物的生命是在血中。我把这血赐给你们,可以在坛上为你们的生命赎罪;因血里有生命,所以能赎罪。
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."
因此,我对以色列人说:你们都不可吃血;寄居在你们中间的外人也不可吃血。
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.
凡以色列人,或是寄居在他们中间的外人,若打猎得了可吃的禽兽,必放出它的血来,用土掩盖。
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."
“论到一切活物的生命,就在血中。所以我对以色列人说:无论什么活物的血,你们都不可吃,因为一切活物的血就是他的生命。凡吃了血的,必被剪除。
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.
凡吃自死的,或是被野兽撕裂的,无论是本地人,是寄居的,必不洁净到晚上,都要洗衣服,用水洗身,到了晚上才为洁净。
16 But if he doesn't wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.'"
但他若不洗衣服,也不洗身,就必担当他的罪孽。”
