اَللَّاوِيِّينَ 17

١ 1 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

Then the LORD said to Moses,

٢ 2 «كَلِّمْ هَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ وَجَمِيعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي يُوصِي بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ قَائِلًا:

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

٣ 3 كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَذْبَحُ بَقَرًا أَوْ غَنَمًا أَوْ مِعْزًى فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، أَوْ يَذْبَحُ خَارِجَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ،

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

٤ 4 وَإِلَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ لَا يَأْتِي بِهِ لِيُقَرِّبَ قُرْبَانًا لِلرَّبِّ أَمَامَ مَسْكَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ، يُحْسَبُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ دَمٌ. قَدْ سَفَكَ دَمًا. فَيُقْطَعُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ مِنْ شَعْبِهِ.

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.

٥ 5 لِكَيْ يَأْتِيَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِذَبَائِحِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي يَذْبَحُونَهَا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلصَّحْرَاءِ وَيُقَدِّمُوهَا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ إِلَى ٱلْكَاهِنِ، وَيَذْبَحُوهَا ذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ لِلرَّبِّ.

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 to the LORD.

٦ 6 وَيَرُشُّ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلدَّمَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ لَدَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَيُوقِدُ ٱلشَّحْمَ لِرَائِحَةِ سَرُورٍ لِلرَّبِّ.

The priest will then sprinkle 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.

٧ 7 وَلَا يَذْبَحُوا بَعْدُ ذَبَائِحَهُمْ لِلتُّيُوسِ ٱلَّتِي هُمْ يَزْنُونَ وَرَاءَهَا. فَرِيضَةً دَهْرِيَّةً تَكُونُ هَذِهِ لَهُمْ فِي أَجْيَالِهِمْ.

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.’

٨ 8 «وَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمِنَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَنْزِلُونَ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ يُصْعِدُ مُحْرَقَةً أَوْ ذَبِيحَةً،

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

٩ 9 وَلَا يَأْتِي بِهَا إِلَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ لِيَصْنَعَهَا لِلرَّبِّ، يُقْطَعُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ مِنْ شَعْبِهِ.

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.

١٠ 10 وَكُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمِنَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ ٱلنَّازِلِينَ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ يَأْكُلُ دَمًا، أَجْعَلُ وَجْهِي ضِدَّ ٱلنَّفْسِ ٱلْآكِلَةِ ٱلدَّمِ وَأَقْطَعُهَا مِنْ شَعْبِهَا،

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.

١١ 11 لِأَنَّ نَفْسَ ٱلْجَسَدِ هِيَ فِي ٱلدَّمِ، فَأَنَا أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ إِيَّاهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْ نُفُوسِكُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلدَّمَ يُكَفِّرُ عَنِ ٱلنَّفْسِ.

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.

١٢ 12 لِذَلِكَ قُلْتُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: لَا تَأْكُلْ نَفْسٌ مِنْكُمْ دَمًا، وَلَا يَأْكُلِ ٱلْغَرِيبُ ٱلنَّازِلُ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ دَمًا.

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

١٣ 13 وَكُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمِنَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ ٱلنَّازِلِينَ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ يَصْطَادُ صَيْدًا، وَحْشًا أَوْ طَائِرًا يُؤْكَلُ، يَسْفِكُ دَمَهُ وَيُغَطِّيهِ بِٱلتُّرَابِ.

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.

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّ نَفْسَ كُلِّ جَسَدٍ دَمُهُ هُوَ بِنَفْسِهِ، فَقُلْتُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: لَا تَأْكُلُوا دَمَ جَسَدٍ مَّا، لِأَنَّ نَفْسَ كُلِّ جَسَدٍ هِيَ دَمُهُ. كُلُّ مَنْ أَكَلَهُ يُقْطَعُ.

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.’

١٥ 15 وَكُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ يَأْكُلُ مَيْتَةً أَوْ فَرِيسَةً، وَطَنِيًّا كَانَ أَوْ غَرِيبًا، يَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَسْتَحِمُّ بِمَاءٍ، وَيَبْقَى نَجِسًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ طَاهِرًا.

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.

١٦ 16 وَإِنْ لَمْ يَغْسِلْ وَلَمْ يَرْحَضْ جَسَدَهُ يَحْمِلْ ذَنْبَهُ».

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