Leviticus 17
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和華對摩西說：
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,
「你曉諭亞倫和他兒子並以色列眾人說，耶和華所吩咐的乃是這樣：
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,
凡以色列家中的人宰公牛，或是綿羊羔，或是山羊，不拘宰於營內營外，
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:
若未曾牽到會幕門口、耶和華的帳幕前獻給耶和華為供物，流血的罪必歸到那人身上。他流了血，要從民中剪除。
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.
這是為要使以色列人把他們在田野裏所獻的祭帶到會幕門口、耶和華面前，交給祭司，獻與耶和華為平安祭。
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.
祭司要把血灑在會幕門口、耶和華的壇上，把脂油焚燒，獻給耶和華為馨香的祭。
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.
他們不可再獻祭給他們行邪淫所隨從的鬼魔；這要作他們世世代代永遠的定例。
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,
「你要曉諭他們說：凡以色列家中的人，或是寄居在他們中間的外人，獻燔祭或是平安祭，
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.
若不帶到會幕門口獻給耶和華，那人必從民中剪除。
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.
「凡以色列家中的人，或是寄居在他們中間的外人，若吃甚麼血，我必向那吃血的人變臉，把他從民中剪除。
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.
因為活物的生命是在血中。我把這血賜給你們，可以在壇上為你們的生命贖罪；因血裏有生命，所以能贖罪。
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.
因此，我對以色列人說：你們都不可吃血；寄居在你們中間的外人也不可吃血。
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.
凡以色列人，或是寄居在他們中間的外人，若打獵得了可吃的禽獸，必放出牠的血來，用土掩蓋。
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.
「論到一切活物的生命，就在血中。所以我對以色列人說：無論甚麼活物的血，你們都不可吃，因為一切活物的血就是他的生命。凡吃了血的，必被剪除。
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.
凡吃自死的，或是被野獸撕裂的，無論是本地人，是寄居的，必不潔淨到晚上，都要洗衣服，用水洗身，到了晚上才為潔淨。
16 But if he doth not wash [them], nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
但他若不洗衣服，也不洗身，就必擔當他的罪孽。」
