Leviticus
Chapter17
1TheLORDsaidtoMoses,
上主训示梅瑟说：
2＂SpeaktoAaronandhissons,aswellastoalltheIsraelites,andtellthem:ThisiswhattheLORDhascommanded.
＂你告诉亚郎和他的儿子以及全体以色列子民说：上主这样吩咐说：
31AnyIsraelitewhoslaughtersanoxorasheeporagoat,whetherinthecamporoutsideofit,
以色列家中任何人，在营内或在营外，宰杀牛或绵羊或山羊，
4withoutfirstbringingittotheentranceofthemeetingtenttopresentitasanofferingtotheLORDinfrontofhisDwelling,shallbejudgedguiltyofbloodshed;andforthis,suchamanshallbecutofffromamonghispeople.
而不牵到会幕门口，在上主住所前，奉献给上主作祭品，这人就应负流血的罪债；他既使血流出，就应由民间铲除。
5Therefore,suchsacrificesastheyusedtoofferupintheopenfieldtheIsraelitesshallhenceforthoffertotheLORD,bringingthemtothepriestattheentranceofthemeetingtentandsacrificingthemthereaspeaceofferingstotheLORD.
为此，以色列子民应将他们平素在野外宰杀的牺牲，牵到上主前，在会幕门口交与司祭宰杀这些牺牲，献给上主作和平祭。
6ThepriestshallsplashthebloodonthealtaroftheLORDattheentranceofthemeetingtentandthereburnthefatforanodorpleasingtotheLORD.
司祭将牲血洒在会幕门口上主的祭坛上，焚烧脂肪，化为中悦上主的馨香。
7Nolongershalltheyoffertheirsacrificestothesatyrstowhomtheyusedtorendertheirwantonworship.Thisshallbeaneverlastingordinanceforthemandtheirdescendants.
从此以后，他们不应再宰杀牺牲，献给他们非法敬拜的一些山羊神：这为他们世世代代是一项永久的法令。
8＂Tellthem,therefore:Anyone,whetherofthehouseofIsraelorofthealiensresidingamongthem,whooffersaholocaustorsacrifice
此外，你应吩咐他们说：以色列家及侨居在他们中间的外方人，谁若愿意献全燔祭或祭献，
9withoutbringingittotheentranceofthemeetingtenttoofferittotheLORD,shallbecutofffromhiskinsmen.
而不牵到会幕门口，奉献给上主，这人就应由民间铲除。
10Andifanyone,whetherofthehouseofIsraelorofthealiensresidingamongthem,partakesofanyblood,Iwillsetmyselfagainstthatonewhopartakesofbloodandwillcuthimofffromamonghispeople.
以色列家及侨居在他们中间的外方人，有人吃了什么血，我必怒容而视，与这吃血的人作对，由民间将他铲除。
112Sincethelifeofalivingbodyisinitsblood,Ihavemadeyouputitonthealtar,sothatatonementmaytherebybemadeforyourownlives,becauseitistheblood,astheseatoflife,thatmakesatonement.
因为肉躯的生命是在血内，我为你们指定了血，在祭坛上为你们的生命赎罪，因为血具有生命，故能赎罪。
12ThatiswhyIhavetoldtheIsraelites:Nooneamongyou,notevenaresidentalien,maypartakeofblood.
为此，我吩咐以色列子民说：你们中任何人都不可吃血；侨居在你们中间的外方人，也不可吃血。
13＂Anyonehunting,whetheroftheIsraelitesorofthealiensresidingamongthem,whocatchesananimalorabirdthatmaybeeaten,shallpouroutitsbloodandcoveritwithearth.
以色列子民和侨居在他们中间的外方人，谁若猎取了可食的野兽或飞禽，该放尽它的血，用泥土盖上。
14Sincethelifeofeverylivingbodyisitsblood,IhavetoldtheIsraelites:Youshallnotpartakeofthebloodofanymeat.Sincethelifeofeverylivingbodyisitsblood,anyonewhopartakesofitshallbecutoff.
因为一切肉躯的生命都系于血，为此，我吩咐以色列子民说：任何肉上的血，你们都不可吃，因为一切肉躯的生命，都系于血，谁吃了，应被铲除。
15＂Everyone,whetheranativeoranalien,whoeatsofananimalthatdiedofitselforwaskilledbyawildbeast,shallwashhisgarments,batheinwater,andbeuncleanuntilevening,andthenhewillbeclean.
不论是本地人或是外方人，吃了自死或被猛兽撕裂的禽兽，应洗自己的衣服，用水洗澡，直到晚上是不洁的；以后他才洁净。
16Ifhedoesnotwashordoesnotbathehisbody,heshallhavetheguilttobear.＂
但是，如果他不洗衣，也不洗身，应负罪债。＂
