Leviticus 17

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

1 耶和华对摩西说：

2 “Speak to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites and tell them this is what the LORD has commanded:

2 “你要告诉亚伦父子们及全体以色列人，以下是耶和华的吩咐：

3 ‘Anyone from the house of Israel who slaughters an ox, a lamb, or a goat in the camp or outside of it

3 任何在营内或营外宰杀公牛、绵羊或山羊的以色列人，

4 instead of bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD before His tabernacle—that man shall incur bloodguilt. He has shed blood and must be cut off from among his people.

4 若没有把牲畜带到会幕门口，在耶和华的圣幕前献给耶和华，便是犯了流血之罪，要将他从民中铲除。

5 For this reason the Israelites will bring to the LORD the sacrifices they have been offering in the open fields. They are to bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and offer them as sacrifices of peace offerings to the LORD.

5 这是为了让以色列人把祭牲带到会幕门口交给祭司，献给耶和华作平安祭，而非在野外杀祭牲献祭。

6 The priest will then splatter the blood on the altar of the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and burn the fat as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

6 祭司要将祭牲的血洒在会幕门口耶和华的祭坛上，把脂肪焚烧献给耶和华作馨香之祭。

7 They must no longer offer their sacrifices to the goat demons to which they have prostituted themselves. This will be a permanent statute for them for the generations to come.’

7 他们不可再献祭物给山羊神，与其苟合。这是他们世代当守的永久律例。

8 Tell them that if anyone from the house of Israel or any foreigner living among them offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice

8 “你要告诉他们：不论是以色列人，还是寄居在以色列人中间的外族人，献燔祭或其他祭物时，

9 but does not bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the LORD, that man must be cut off from his people.

9 如果没把祭物带到会幕门口献给耶和华，要将他从民中铲除。

10 If anyone from the house of Israel or a foreigner living among them eats any blood, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from among his people.

10 “任何以色列人或寄居在以色列人中间的外族人若吃血，耶和华必严惩，把他从民中铲除。

11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for your souls upon the altar; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.

11 因为肉体的生命在血中，耶和华把血赐给你们，使你们可以用血在祭坛上为自己赎罪。血可以为人的生命赎罪。

12 Therefore I say to the Israelites, ‘None of you may eat blood, nor may any foreigner living among you eat blood.’

12 所以耶和华吩咐以色列人和寄居在以色列人中间的外族人不可吃血。

13 And if any Israelite or foreigner living among them hunts down a wild animal or bird that may be eaten, he must drain its blood and cover it with dirt.

13 以色列人或寄居在以色列人中间的外族人如果捕到可吃的鸟或兽，必须放尽它的血，用土掩埋，

14 For the life of all flesh is its blood. Therefore I have told the Israelites, ‘You must not eat the blood of any living thing, because the life of all flesh is its blood; whoever eats it must be cut off.’

14 因为所有动物的生命都在血中。因此，耶和华吩咐以色列人不可吃任何动物的血，因为血就是生命。凡吃血的都要被铲除。

15 And any person, whether native or foreigner, who eats anything found dead or mauled by wild beasts must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening; then he will be clean.

15 不论以色列人还是外族人，若吃了自然死亡或被野兽撕裂的动物，就不洁净。他必须洗衣、沐浴，等到傍晚才能洁净，

16 But if he does not wash his clothes and bathe himself, then he shall bear his iniquity.”

16 否则他要承担罪责。”
