レビ記 17
1 ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
2 アロンとその子等およびイスラエルの總の子孫に告てこれに言べしヱホバの命ずるところ斯のごとし云く
“Speak to Aaron [Light-bringer], and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel [God prevails], and say to them: ‘This is the thing which Adonai has enjoined,
3 凡そイスラエルの家の人の中牛羊または山羊を營の内に宰りあるひは營の外に宰ることを爲し
Whatever man there is of the house of Israel [God prevails], who kills a bull, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp,
4 之を集會の幕屋の門に牽きたりて宰りヱホバの幕屋の前において之をヱホバに禮物として献ぐることを爲ざる者は血を流せる者と算らるべし彼は血を流したるなればその民の中より絶るべきなり
and has not brought it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to offer it as an offering to Adonai before Adonai’s tabernacle: blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people.
5 是はイスラエルの子孫をしてその野の表に犠牲とするところの犠牲をヱホバに牽きたらしめんがためなり即ち彼等は之を牽きたり集會の幕屋の門にいたりて祭司に就きこれを酬恩祭としてヱホバに献ぐべきなり
This is to the end that the children of Israel [God prevails] may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to Adonai, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to Adonai.
6 然る時は祭司その血を集會の幕屋の門なるヱホバの壇にそそぎまたその脂を馨しき香のために焚てヱホバに奉つるべし
The priest shall sprinkle the blood on Adonai’s altar at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to Adonai.
7 彼等はその慕ひて淫せし魑魅に重て犠牲をささぐ可らず是は彼等が代々永くまもるべき例なり
They shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a regulation forever to them throughout their generations.’
8 汝また彼等に言べし凡そイスラエルの家の人または汝らの中に寄寓る他國の人燔祭あるひは犠牲を献ぐることをせんに
“You shall say to them, ‘Any man there is of the house of Israel [God prevails], or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,
9 之を集會の幕屋の門に携へきたりてヱホバにこれを献ぐるにあらずばその人はその民の中より絶るべし
and does not bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to sacrifice it to Adonai; that man shall be cut off from his people.
10 凡そイスラエルの家の人または汝らの中に寄寓る他國の人の中何の血によらず血を食ふ者あれば我その血を食ふ人にわが面をむけて攻めその民の中より之を斷さるべし
“‘Any man of the house of Israel [God prevails], or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
11 其は肉の生命は血にあればなり我汝等がこれを以て汝等の霊魂のために壇の上にて贖罪をなさんために是を汝等に與ふ血はその中に生命のある故によりて贖罪をなす者なればなり
For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.
12 是をもて我イスラエルの子孫にいへり汝らの中何人も血をくらふべからずまた汝らの中に寄寓る他國の人も血を食ふべからずと
Therefore I have said to the children of Israel [God prevails], “No person among you may eat blood, nor may any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood.”
13 凡そイスラエルの子孫の中または汝らの中に寄寓る他國の人の中もし食はるべき獣あるひは鳥を猟獲たる者あらばその血を灑ぎいだし土にて之を掩ふべし
“‘Whatever man there is of the children of Israel [God prevails], or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust.
14 凡の肉の生命はその血にして是はすなはちその魂たるなり故に我イスラエルの子孫にいへりなんぢらは何の肉の血をもくらふべからず其は一切の肉の生命はその血なればなり凡て血をくらふものは絶るべし
For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life: therefore I said to the children of Israel [God prevails], “You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.”
15 およそ自ら死たる物または裂ころされし物をくらふ人はなんぢらの國の者にもあれ他國の者にもあれその衣服をあらひ水に身をそそぐべしその身は晩までけがるるなりその後は潔し
“‘Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening: then he shall be clean.
16 その人もし洗ふことをせずまたその身を水に滌がずばその罪を任べし
But if he does not wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his depravity (moral evil).’”
