Imamat 17
1 TUHAN menyuruh Musa
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 memberikan peraturan-peraturan ini kepada Harun, anak-anaknya dan seluruh bangsa Israel.
“Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the other Israeli people, and say this to them: ‘This is what Yahweh has commanded:
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.
If you sacrifice an ox or a lamb or a goat, you must bring it [to the priest] at the entrance of the Sacred Tent [area], to present/offer it to me there.
If you slaughter it to be a sacrifice anywhere else in the camp or outside the camp, you will be guilty of killing an animal [in an unacceptable place]. As a result you will no longer be allowed to be/associate with my 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.
That rule is in order that you Israeli people, instead of offering sacrifices in the open fields, will offer them to me by taking them to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent [area], to be offerings to maintain fellowship [with me].
6 Imam harus menyiramkan darah binatang itu pada sisi-sisi mezbah di depan pintu Kemah TUHAN lalu membakar lemaknya supaya baunya menyenangkan hati TUHAN.
[After the animal is slaughtered], the priest must sprinkle some of its blood against the altar at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and burn its fat to be an aroma that is pleasing to me.
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.
You people must no longer give sacrifices to the demons that resemble goats which you are worshiping. You people must obey this command forever.’
8 Apabila seorang Israel atau seorang asing yang tinggal menetap di antara orang Israel mempersembahkan kurban bakaran atau kurban lain
“And tell this to the people: ‘If any Israeli or any foreigner who is living among them brings an offering that is to be completely burned [on the altar], or any other 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 does not bring it to the entrance of the Sacred Tent [area] to be a sacrifice to me, that person will no longer be allowed to associate with my 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.
‘I will reject [IDM] any Israeli or any foreigner who is living among you who eats any blood, and I [will command that he] no longer be allowed to associate with my 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.
That is because the life of every creature is in its blood; I have declared that it is blood that is to be offered on the altar to enable people to be forgiven for their sins.
12 Itulah sebabnya bangsa Israel atau orang asing yang menetap di antara mereka dilarang makan darah.
That is why I say that you Israelis must not eat blood, and the foreigners who live among you must also not 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 Israeli or any foreigner who is living among you who hunts any animal or bird that is permitted for you to eat, must drain out the blood [of the animal or bird that he kills], and cover the blood with dirt.
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.
This is because the life of every creature is in its blood. And that is why I have said [DOU] to you Israelis that anyone who eats blood must no longer [be allowed to associate with my people].
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.
‘Anyone in Israel, including foreigners, who eats any of the meat of any creature that is found dead, or that had been killed by wild animals, must wash his clothes and bathe. Then he must not touch anyone until that evening.
16 Kalau ia tidak melakukan itu, ia harus menanggung akibatnya.
If he does not do those things, he will be punished for what he did.’”
