Leviticus 17

1 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

١ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

2 "Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: 'This is the thing which YHWH has commanded,

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

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,

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

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 YHWH 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 YHWH before the tabernacle of YHWH, blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among 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 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 YHWH, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to YHWH.

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

6 The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of YHWH at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to YHWH.

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

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.'

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

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,

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

9 and doesn't bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to sacrifice it to YHWH; that man shall be cut off from his people.

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

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.

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

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.

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 person among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood."

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

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.

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

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."

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 "'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.

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 doesn't wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.'"

١٦ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَغْسِلْ وَلَمْ يَرْحَضْ جَسَدَهُ يَحْمِلْ ذَنْبَهُ».
