Levítico 17
1 El Señor le dijo a Moisés,
And YHWH speaks 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 you have said to them: This [is] the thing which YHWH has commanded, saying,
3 Cualquier israelita que mate un toro, un cordero o una cabra, ya sea dentro o fuera del campamento,
Any man of the house of Israel who slaughters ox, or lamb, or goat in the camp, or who slaughters [it] at the outside of 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 in to the opening of the Tent of Meeting to bring an offering near to YHWH before the Dwelling Place of YHWH, blood is reckoned to that man—he has shed blood—and that man has been cut off from the midst of 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.
so that the sons of Israel bring in their sacrifices which they are sacrificing on the face of the field, indeed, they have brought them to YHWH, to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and they have sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offerings to YHWH with them.
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 has sprinkled the blood on the altar of YHWH, at the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and has made incense with the fat for refreshing fragrance to YHWH;
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 do not sacrifice their sacrifices anymore to the goat [idols] after which they are going whoring; this is a continuous statute to them, throughout their generations.
8 “Adviértanles que cualquier israelita o extranjero que viva entre ellos que ofrezca un holocausto o un sacrificio
And you say to them: Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners who sojourns in your midst, who causes burnt-offering or sacrifice to ascend,
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 in to the opening of the Tent of Meeting to make it to YHWH—that man has been 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 any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners who is sojourning in your midst, who eats any blood, I have even set My face against the person who is eating the blood, and have cut him off from the midst of 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 on the altar, to make atonement for your souls; for it [is] the blood which makes atonement for the soul.
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 have said to the sons of Israel: No person among you eats blood, and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst does not 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 any man of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners who is sojourning in your midst, who hunts game, beast or bird, which is eaten—has even poured out its blood and covered 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 [it is] the life of all flesh, its blood is for its life; and I say to the sons of Israel: You do not eat [the] blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood; anyone eating it is 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 any person who eats a carcass or torn thing, among natives or among sojourners, has washed his garments and bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening—then he has been clean;
16 Pero si no lavan sus ropas y se lavan con agua, entonces son responsables de su culpa”.
and if he does not wash, and does not bathe his flesh—then he has borne his iniquity.”
