Levítico 17
1 El Señor le dijo a Moisés,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Dile a Aarón, a sus hijos y a todos los israelitas que esto es lo que el Señor ordena:
Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and say to them, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded, saying,
3 Cualquier israelita que mate un toro, un cordero o una cabra, ya sea dentro o fuera del campamento,
Whatever man there is of the house of Israel, who kills an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp,
4 en lugar de llevarlo a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión para presentarlo como ofrenda al Señor allí, esa persona será considerada culpable de asesinato ilegal. Han derramado sangre y deben ser expulsados de su pueblo.
and has not brought it to the door of the tent of meeting, to offer it as an oblation to Jehovah before the tabernacle of Jehovah, blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood, and that man shall be cut off from among his people,
5 “Por eso los israelitas tienen que llevar al Señor los sacrificios que actualmente ofrecen en los campos. Deben llevarlos al sacerdote a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión y ofrecerlos como ofrendas de paz al Señor.
to the end that the sons of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, even that they may bring them to Jehovah, to the door of the tent of meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to Jehovah.
6 El sacerdote rociará la sangre sobre el altar del Señor a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión, y quemará la grasa, agradable al Señor.
And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Jehovah at the door of the tent of meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet savor to Jehovah.
7 “No deben seguir ofreciendo sus sacrificios al diablo de las cabras con el que han actuado como prostitutas. Esta es una regulación para todos los tiempos y para todas las generaciones futuras.
And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the he-goats, after which they play the harlot. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations.
8 “Adviértanles que cualquier israelita o extranjero que viva entre ellos que ofrezca un holocausto o un sacrificio
And thou shall say to them, Whatever man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,
9 sin llevarlo a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión para sacrificarlo al Señor debe ser expulsado de su pueblo.
and does not bring it to the door of the tent of meeting, to sacrifice it to Jehovah, that man shall be cut off from his people.
10 Desconoceré a cualquier israelita o extranjero que viva entre ellos y coma sangre y los expulsaré de su pueblo.
And whatever man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who eats any manner of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
11 La vida está en la sangre del cuerpo. Os la he dado para que, poniéndola en el altar, sus vidas puedan ser rectificadas, porque es la sangre que rectifica la vida de la gente.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.
12 Por eso les advierto a los israelitas: Ninguno de ustedes puede comer sangre, y ningún extranjero que viva entre ustedes puede comer sangre.
Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, nor shall any stranger that sojourns among you eat blood.
13 “Cualquier israelita o extranjero que viva entre ellos y que cace y mate un animal salvaje o un pájaro que esté permitido comer, debe drenar la sangre de su cuerpo y cubrirlo con tierra,
And whatever man there is of the sons of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who takes any beast or bird in hunting that may be eaten, he shall pour out the blood of it, and cover it with dust.
14 porque la vida está en la sangre del cuerpo. Por eso he advertido a los israelitas: No se permite comer la sangre de nada viviente, porque la vida está en la sangre del cuerpo. Cualquiera que la coma debe ser expulsado.
For as to the life of all flesh, the blood of it is with the life of it. Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh, for the life of all flesh is the blood of it. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.
15 “Todo israelita o extranjero que coma algo que haya sido encontrado muerto o matado por animales salvajes debe lavar sus ropas y lavarlas con agua, y estarán inmundos hasta la noche. Entonces estarán limpios.
And every soul who eats that which dies of itself, or that which is torn of beasts, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening, then he shall be clean.
16 Pero si no lavan sus ropas y se lavan con agua, entonces son responsables de su culpa”.
But if he does not wash them, nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.
