Imamat 17
1 TUHAN menyuruh Musa
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 memberikan peraturan-peraturan ini kepada Harun, anak-anaknya dan seluruh bangsa Israel.
Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel, saying to them: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded, saying:
3 Apabila seorang bangsa Israel mempersembahkan sapi, domba atau kambing kepada TUHAN, binatang itu harus disembelihnya di depan pintu Kemah TUHAN. Kalau ia menyembelihnya di tempat lain, ia melanggar hukum karena menumpahkan darah. Ia tidak lagi dianggap anggota umat Allah.
Any man whosoever of the house of Israel if he kill an ox, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp, or without the camp,
And offer it not at the door of the tabernacle an oblation to the Lord, shall be guilty of blood: as if he had shed blood, so shall he perish from the midst of his people.
5 Perintah itu dimaksudkan supaya bangsa Israel membawa ke Kemah TUHAN semua binatang persembahan yang biasanya mereka sembelih di ladang. Mereka wajib membawa persembahan itu kepada imam di depan pintu Kemah TUHAN dan menyembelihnya di situ untuk kurban perdamaian.
Therefore the children of Israel shall bring to the priest their victims, which they kill in the field, that they may be sanctified to the Lord before the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and they may sacrifice them for peace offerings to the Lord.
6 Imam harus menyiramkan darah binatang itu pada sisi-sisi mezbah di depan pintu Kemah TUHAN lalu membakar lemaknya supaya baunya menyenangkan hati TUHAN.
And the priest shall pour the blood upon the altar of the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and shall burn the fat for a sweet odour to the Lord.
7 Bangsa Israel harus tetap setia kepada TUHAN dan sekali-kali tak boleh menyembelih binatang di ladang-ladang untuk persembahan kepada jin-jin jahat. Peraturan itu harus ditaati untuk selama-lamanya.
And they shall no more sacrifice their victims to devils, with whom they have committed fornication. It shall be an ordinance for ever to them and to their posterity.
8 Apabila seorang Israel atau seorang asing yang tinggal menetap di antara orang Israel mempersembahkan kurban bakaran atau kurban lain
And thou shalt say to them: The man of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who sojourn among you, that offereth a holocaust or a victim,
9 kepada TUHAN, ia harus mempersembahkannya di depan pintu Kemah TUHAN. Kalau ia mempersembahkannya di tempat lain, ia tak boleh lagi dianggap anggota umat Allah.
And bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be offered to the Lord, shall perish from among his people.
10 Kalau seorang Israel atau seorang asing yang tinggal menetap di antara orang Israel makan darah, ia akan dihukum TUHAN dan tidak lagi dianggap anggota umat-Nya.
If any man whosoever of the house of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among them, eat blood, I will set my face against his soul, and will cut him off from among his people:
11 Nyawa setiap makhluk ada di dalam darahnya. Karena itu TUHAN memerintahkan supaya semua darah disiramkan ke atas mezbah supaya dosa-dosa umat dihapuskan. Darah yaitu nyawa, menghapuskan dosa.
Because the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you, that you may make atonement with it upon the altar for your souls, and the blood may be for an expiation of the soul.
12 Itulah sebabnya bangsa Israel atau orang asing yang menetap di antara mereka dilarang makan darah.
Therefore I have said to the children of Israel: No soul of you, nor of the strangers that sojourn among you, shall eat blood.
13 Apabila seorang Israel atau seorang asing yang tinggal menetap di antara bangsa Israel menangkap burung atau binatang lain yang tidak haram, ia harus mengeluarkan darah binatang itu dan menimbuninya dengan tanah.
Any man whosoever of the children of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among you, if by hunting or fowling, he take a wild beast or a bird, which is lawful to eat, let him pour out its blood, and cover it with earth.
14 Nyawa setiap makhluk ada di dalam darahnya, sebab itu TUHAN melarang bangsa Israel makan darah. Setiap orang yang melakukan perbuatan terlarang itu tidak lagi dianggap anggota umat Allah.
For the life of all flesh is in the blood: therefore I said to the children of Israel: You shall not eat the blood of any flesh at all, because the life of the flesh is in the blood, and whosoever eateth it, shall be cut off.
15 Setiap orang Israel atau orang asing yang makan daging binatang yang mati dengan sendirinya atau mati diterkam binatang buas, harus mencuci pakaiannya lalu mandi dan menunggu sampai matahari terbenam, barulah ia menjadi bersih.
The soul that eateth that which died of itself, or has been caught by a beast, whether he be one of your own country or a stranger, shall wash his clothes and himself with water, and shall be defiled until the evening: and in this manner he shall be made clean.
16 Kalau ia tidak melakukan itu, ia harus menanggung akibatnya.
But if he do not wash his clothes, and his body, he shall bear his iniquity.
