Levítico 17
1 Yavé habló a Moisés:
And 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, saying,
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,
What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that kills an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that kills it out of 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 brings it not to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering to the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed to that man; he has shed blood; and 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.
To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them to the LORD, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to the priest, and offer them for 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.
And the priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet smell 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.
And they shall no more offer their sacrifices to devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever 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,
And you shall say to them, Whatever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that 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 brings it not to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it to the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among 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.
And whatever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eats any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that 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: and I have given it to you on the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul.
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 said to the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourns 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,
And whatever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunts and catches any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, 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 it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said to the children of Israel, You shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: 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.
And every soul that eats that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.
16 Pero si no lava sus ropas ni lava su cuerpo, cargará su culpa.
But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
