Leviticus 17
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying: —
上主訓示梅瑟說：」
2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons and unto all the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, —This, is the thing which Yahweh hath 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 What man soever, there be of the house of Israel, who slayeth an ox or lamb or goat, in the camp, —or who slayeth it outside 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, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, bringeth it not in, to present it as an oblation unto Yahweh, before the habitation of Yahweh, blood, shall be imputed to that man—blood, hath he shed, therefore shall that man be 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 to the end that the sons of Israel may bring in their sacrifices which they are offering upon the face of the field, that they may bring them in unto Yahweh—unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, —and that so as peace-offerings unto Yahweh, they may offer 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 Then shall the priest dash the blood against the altar of Yahweh, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, —and shall make a perfume of the fat, as a satisfying odour unto Yahweh;
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 so shall they no more offer their sacrifices unto demons after whom they are unchastely going away, —a statute age-abiding, shall this be to them unto 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 Wherefore, unto them, shalt thou say: What man soever, there may be of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners that sojourn in their midst, —who causeth to go up an ascending-offering, or a sacrifice;
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 unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, doth not bring it in, to offer it unto Yahweh, then shall that man be cut off from among his kinsfolk.
而不牽到會幕門口，奉獻給上主，這人就應由民間剷除。
10 And, what man soever, there may be of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners that sojourn in their midst, that partaketh of any manner of blood, then will I set my face against the person that partaketh of the blood, and will 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 as for the life of the flesh, in the blood, it is, therefore have, I, given it unto you upon the altar, to put a propitiatory-covering over your lives, —for the blood, it is, which, by virtue of the life, maketh propitiation.
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 For this cause, have I said unto the sons of Israel, Not a person from among you shall partake of blood, —Even the sojourner that sojourneth in your midst, shall not partake of 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, what man soever, there may be of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners that sojourn in their midst, who taketh by hunting any wild-beast or bird that may be eaten, then shall he pour out the blood thereof, and cover 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, as for the life of all flesh, the blood thereof, for the life thereof, standeth, therefore have I said unto the sons of Israel—Of the blood of no manner of flesh, shall ye partake, For, the life of all flesh is the blood thereof; whoso partaketh thereof, shall be 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, in the case of any person who eateth that which died of itself or was torn in pieces, whether he be home-born, or a sojourner, then shall he wash his clothes, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the evening, and then be 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 But, if he wash them not, and his flesh, he do not bathe, then shall he bear his iniquity.
但是，如果他不洗衣，也不洗身，應負罪債。」
