Leviticus 17

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:

2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, This is the word which the Lord has commanded, saying,

»Govori Aronu, njegovim sinovom in vsem Izraelovim otrokom ter jim reci: ›To je stvar, ki jo je Gospod zapovedal, rekoč:

3 Every man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers dwelling amongst you, who shall kill a calf, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp, or who shall kill it out of the camp,

›Katerikoli človek bo tam iz Izraelove hiše, ki kolje vola ali jagnje ali kozo v taboru ali da to kolje izven tabora,

4 and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness, so as to sacrifice it for a whole burnt offering or peace-offering to the Lord to be acceptable for a sweet smelling savour: and whoever shall kill it without, and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness, so as to offer it as a gift to the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord; blood shall be imputed to that man, he has shed blood; that soul shall be cut off from his people.

pa tega ne prinaša k vratom šotorskega svetišča skupnosti, da daruje dar Gospodu pred Gospodovim šotorskim svetiščem, bo kri pripisana tistemu človeku. Prelil je kri, in ta mož bo iztrebljen izmed svojega ljudstva,

5 That the children of Israel may offer their sacrifices, all that they shall kill in the fields, and bring them to the Lord to the doors of the tabernacle of witness to the priest, and they shall sacrifice them as a peace-offering to the Lord.

z namenom, da Izraelovi otroci lahko prinesejo svoje klavne daritve, ki jih darujejo na odprtem polju, torej, da jih lahko privedejo h Gospodu, k vratom šotorskega svetišča skupnosti, k duhovniku in jih darujejo za mirovna žrtvovanja Gospodu.

6 And the priest shall pour the blood on the altar round about before the Lord by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and shall offer the fat for a sweet smelling savour to the Lord.

Duhovnik bo kri poškropil na Gospodov oltar pri vratih šotorskega svetišča skupnosti in tolščo sežgal v prijeten vonj Gospodu.

7 And they shall no longer offer their sacrifices to vain [gods] after which they go a whoring; it shall be a perpetual statute to you for your generations.

Svojih klavnih daritev ne bodo več darovali hudičem, za katerimi so se odšli vlačugat. To jim bo zakon na veke skozi njihove rodove.‹

8 And you shall say to them, Whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the sons of the proselytes dwelling amongst you, shall offer a whole burnt offering or a sacrifice,

Rekel jim boš: ›Katerikoli mož bo iz Izraelove hiše ali od tujcev, ki začasno prebivajo med vami, ki darujejo žgalno daritev ali žrtvovanje,

9 and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness to sacrifice it to the Lord, that man shall be destroyed from amongst his people.

pa tega ne prinašajo k vratom šotorskega svetišča skupnosti, da to darujejo Gospodu; torej ta mož bo iztrebljen izmed svojega ljudstva.

10 And whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers dwelling amongst you, shall eat any blood, I will even set my face against that soul that eats blood, and will destroy it from its people.

Katerikoli človek bo tam iz Izraelove hiše ali izmed tujcev, ki začasno prebivajo med vami, ki na kakršenkoli način jé kri, bom svoj obraz naravnal prav posebej proti tej duši, ki jé kri in ga iztrebil izmed njegovih ljudi.

11 For the life of flesh is its blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for its blood shall make atonement for the soul.

Kajti življenje mesa je v krvi in dal sem vam jo na oltarju, da opravite spravo za svoje duše, kajti kri je ta, ki opravlja spravo za dušo.

12 Therefore I said to the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, and the stranger that abides amongst you shall not eat blood.

Zato sem Izraelovim otrokom rekel: ›Nobena duša izmed vas ne bo jedla krvi niti ne bo noben tujec, ki začasno biva med vami, jedel krvi.‹

13 And whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers dwelling amongst you shall take any animal in hunting, beast, or bird, which is eaten, then shall he pour out the blood, and cover it in the dust.

Katerikoli mož bo izmed Izraelovih otrok ali od tujcev, ki začasno bivajo med vami, ki lovijo in ujamejo katerokoli žival ali perjad, ki se lahko jé, ta bo torej izlil njeno kri in jo pokril s prahom.

14 For the blood of all flesh is its life; and I said to the children of Israel, You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood: every one that eats it shall be destroyed.

Kajti to je življenje vsega mesa, kri od tega je za njegovo življenje. Zatorej sem Izraelovim otrokom rekel: ›Na noben način ne boste jedli krvi od mesa, kajti življenje vsega mesa je njegova kri. Kdorkoli to jé, bo iztrebljen.‹

15 And every soul which eats that which has died of itself, or is taken of beasts, either amongst the natives or amongst the strangers, shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening: then shall he be clean.

Vsaka duša, ki jé to, kar je poginilo samo od sebe, ali to, kar je bilo raztrgano z zvermi, bodisi je to nekdo iz vaše lastne dežele ali tujec, bo tako opral svoja oblačila kakor se okopal v vodi in bo nečist do večera. Potem bo čist.

16 But if he do not wash his garments, and do not bathe his body in water, then shall he bear his iniquity.

Toda če jih ne opere niti ne umije svojega mesa, potem bo nosil svojo krivičnost.‹«
