Imamat 17
1 TUHAN menyuruh Musa
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 memberikan peraturan-peraturan ini kepada Harun, anak-anaknya dan seluruh bangsa Israel.
Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the LORD has 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.
Whosoever there be of the house of Israel, that kills an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that kills it out of the camp,
And brings it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among 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.
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 unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto 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 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 savour unto 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 offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.
8 Apabila seorang Israel atau seorang asing yang tinggal menetap di antara orang Israel mempersembahkan kurban bakaran atau kurban lain
And you shall say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,
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 brings it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off 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.
And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eats any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eats blood, 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.
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 makes an atonement for the soul.
12 Itulah sebabnya bangsa Israel atau orang asing yang menetap di antara mereka dilarang makan darah.
Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourns among you 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.
And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunts and catches any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
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 it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, All of you shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eats 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.
And every soul that eats that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.
16 Kalau ia tidak melakukan itu, ia harus menanggung akibatnya.
But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
