Leviticus 17
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
上主訓示梅瑟說：」
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 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 Whatever man [there may be] of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat in the camp, or that killeth [it] out of 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 bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering to the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed to that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among 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 children of Israel may bring their sacrifices which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them to the LORD, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to the priest, and offer them [for] peace-offerings to the LORD.
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 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savor to the LORD.
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 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices to idols, with which they have committed idolatry: This shall be a statute for ever to them throughout 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 And thou shalt say to them, Whatever man [there may be] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt-offering or 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 bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it to the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.
而不牽到會幕門口，奉獻給上主，這人就應由民間剷除。
10 And whatever man [there may be] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among 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 the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar, to make an atonement for your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an atonement for the soul.
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 Therefore I said to the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat 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 whatever man [there may be] of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, who hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out its blood, 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 [it is] the life of all flesh, the blood of it [is] for the life of it; therefore I said to the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh [is] its blood: whoever eateth it 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 every soul that eateth that which died [of itself], or that which was torn [with beasts], ([whether it is] one of your own country, or a stranger) he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the evening; then shall he 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 doth not wash [them], nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
但是，如果他不洗衣，也不洗身，應負罪債。」
