Levítico 17
1 Yavé habló a Moisés:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Habla a Aarón, a sus hijos y a todos los hijos de Israel: Esto es lo que Yavé ordenó:
“Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘This is the thing which the LORD has commanded:
3 A cualquier hombre de la casa de Israel que mate en sacrificio un becerro, un cordero o una cabra dentro del campamento, o que lo degüelle fuera del campamento,
Whatever man there is of the house of Israel who kills a bull, or lamb, or goat in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp,
4 y que no lo lleve a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión para que el animal sea presentado ante Yavé delante del Tabernáculo de Yavé, le será imputada la sangre. Derramó sangre, y tal hombre será cortado de su pueblo.
and has not brought it to the door of the Tent of Meeting to offer it as an offering to the LORD before the LORD’s tabernacle: blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood. That man shall be cut off from among his people.
5 Los hijos de Israel llevarán los animales que sacrificaban en el campo y los presentarán ante Yavé al sacerdote en la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión. Allí los matarán como sacrificios de paz a Yavé.
This is to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to the LORD, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to the LORD.
6 El sacerdote rociará la sangre sobre el altar de Yavé en la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión, y ordenará quemar la grasa en olor que apacigua a Yavé.
The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the LORD’s altar at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
7 Nunca más harán sus sacrificios a los demonios, tras los cuales se prostituyeron. Tendrán esto como estatuto perpetuo a través de sus generaciones.
They shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations.’
8 Les dirás: Cualquier hombre de la casa de Israel, o extranjero que peregrina en medio de ellos, que ofrezca holocausto o sacrificio,
“You shall say to them, ‘Any man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,
9 y no lo lleve a Yavé para ofrecerlo en la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión, será cortado de su pueblo.
and does not bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the LORD, that man shall be cut off from his people.
10 Yo me enfrentaré a aquella persona que coma cualquier clase de sangre, sea de la casa de Israel o extranjero que peregrina entre ellos. A la persona que coma sangre la cortaré de su pueblo.
“‘Any man of the house of Israel, 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 Porque la vida de la carne está en la sangre, y Yo se la di para que hagan sobre el altar sacrificio que apacigua por ellos mismos. Porque la sangre es la que hace sacrificio que apacigua por ustedes mismos.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood. 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 Por tanto dije a los hijos de Israel: Ninguna persona entre ustedes comerá sangre. Tampoco el extranjero que peregrina entre ustedes comerá sangre.
Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, “No person among you may eat blood, nor may any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood.”
13 Cualquier hombre de los hijos de Israel o de los extranjeros que peregrinan entre ellos, que cace animal o ave que se pueda comer, derramará su sangre y la cubrirá con tierra,
“‘Whatever man there is of the children of Israel, 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 porque la vida de toda carne está en su sangre. Por tanto, dije a los hijos de Israel: No comerán la sangre de ninguna carne, porque la vida de toda carne es su sangre. Todo el que la coma será cortado.
For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, “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 Cualquier persona, sea nativo o extranjero, que coma animal mortecino o destrozado [por fieras], lavará sus ropas, se lavará con agua y será impura hasta llegar la noche. Entonces quedará purificada.
“‘Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. Then he shall be clean.
16 Pero si no lava sus ropas ni lava su cuerpo, cargará su culpa.
But if he does not wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.’”
