Leviticus 17
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Yavé habló a Moisés:
2 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the people of Israel. Tell them what Yahweh has commanded:
Habla a Aarón, a sus hijos y a todos los hijos de Israel: Esto es lo que Yavé ordenó:
3 'Any man from Israel who kills an ox, lamb, or goat in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp, in order to sacrifice it—
A cualquier hombre de la casa de Israel que mate en sacrificio un becerro, un cordero o una cabra dentro del campamento, o que lo degüelle fuera del campamento,
4 if he does not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to offer it as a sacrifice to Yahweh before his tabernacle, that man is guilty of bloodshed. He has shed blood, and that man must be cut off from among his people.
y que no lo lleve a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión para que el animal sea presentado ante Yavé delante del Tabernáculo de Yavé, le será imputada la sangre. Derramó sangre, y tal hombre será cortado de su pueblo.
5 The purpose of this command is so that the people of Israel will bring their sacrifices to Yahweh at the entrance to the tent of meeting, to the priest to be sacrificed as fellowship offerings to Yahweh, instead of offering sacrifices in an open field.
Los hijos de Israel llevarán los animales que sacrificaban en el campo y los presentarán ante Yavé al sacerdote en la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión. Allí los matarán como sacrificios de paz a Yavé.
6 The priest will sprinkle the blood on Yahweh's altar at the entrance to the tent of meeting; he will burn the fat for it to produce a sweet aroma for Yahweh.
El sacerdote rociará la sangre sobre el altar de Yavé en la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión, y ordenará quemar la grasa en olor que apacigua a Yavé.
7 The people must no longer offer their sacrifices to goat idols, for which they act as prostitutes. This will be a permanent statute for them throughout their people's generations.'
Nunca más harán sus sacrificios a los demonios, tras los cuales se prostituyeron. Tendrán esto como estatuto perpetuo a través de sus generaciones.
8 You must say to them, 'Any man of Israel, or any foreigner who lives among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice
Les dirás: Cualquier hombre de la casa de Israel, o extranjero que peregrina en medio de ellos, que ofrezca holocausto o sacrificio,
9 and does not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting in order to sacrifice it to Yahweh, that man must be cut off from his people.
y no lo lleve a Yavé para ofrecerlo en la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión, será cortado de su pueblo.
10 If any person of the house of Israel, or any foreigner who lives among them consumes any blood, I will set my face against that person who consumes blood and I will cut him off from among his people.
Yo me enfrentaré a aquella persona que coma cualquier clase de sangre, sea de la casa de Israel o extranjero que peregrina entre ellos. A la persona que coma sangre la cortaré de su pueblo.
11 For the life of an animal is in its blood. I have given its blood to you to make atonement on the altar for your lives, because it is the blood that makes atonement, for it is the blood that atones for the life.
Porque la vida de la carne está en la sangre, y Yo se la di para que hagan sobre el altar sacrificio que apacigua por ellos mismos. Porque la sangre es la que hace sacrificio que apacigua por ustedes mismos.
12 Therefore I said to the people of Israel that no one among you must eat blood, neither may any foreigner who lives among you eat blood.
Por tanto dije a los hijos de Israel: Ninguna persona entre ustedes comerá sangre. Tampoco el extranjero que peregrina entre ustedes comerá sangre.
13 Anyone of the people of Israel, or any of the foreigners who live among them, who hunts and kills an animal or bird that may be eaten, that person must pour out its blood and cover the blood with earth.
Cualquier hombre de los hijos de Israel o de los extranjeros que peregrinan entre ellos, que cace animal o ave que se pueda comer, derramará su sangre y la cubrirá con tierra,
14 For the life of each creature is its blood. That is why I said to the people of Israel, “You must not eat the blood of any creature, for the life of every living creature is its blood. Whoever eats it must be cut off.”
porque la vida de toda carne está en su sangre. Por tanto, dije a los hijos de Israel: No comerán la sangre de ninguna carne, porque la vida de toda carne es su sangre. Todo el que la coma será cortado.
15 Every person who eats an animal that has died or that has been torn by wild animals, whether that person is native born or a foreigner living among you, he must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until the evening. Then he will be clean.
Cualquier persona, sea nativo o extranjero, que coma animal mortecino o destrozado [por fieras], lavará sus ropas, se lavará con agua y será impura hasta llegar la noche. Entonces quedará purificada.
16 But if he does not wash his clothes or bathe his body, then he must carry his guilt.'”
Pero si no lava sus ropas ni lava su cuerpo, cargará su culpa.
