Leviticus 17
1 And the Lord spak to Moises, and seide, Speke thou to Aaron,
耶和華對摩西說：
2 and to hise sones, and to alle the sones of Israel, and seie thou to hem, This is the word which the Lord comaundide,
「你曉諭亞倫和他兒子並以色列眾人說，耶和華所吩咐的乃是這樣：
3 and seide, Ech man of the hows of Israel schal be gilti of blood, if he sleeth an oxe, ether a scheep, ethir a geet in the castels, ethir out of the castels,
凡以色列家中的人宰公牛，或是綿羊羔，或是山羊，不拘宰於營內營外，
4 and offrith not an offryng to the Lord at the dore of the tabernacle; as he schedde mannus blood, so he schal perische fro the myddis of his puple.
若未曾牽到會幕門口、耶和華的帳幕前獻給耶和華為供物，流血的罪必歸到那人身上。他流了血，要從民中剪除。
5 Therfor the sones of Israel owen to offre her sacrifices to the preest, whiche thei sleen in the feeld, that tho be halewid to the Lord, bifor the dore of the tabernacle of witnessyng, and that thei offre tho pesible sacrifices to the Lord.
這是為要使以色列人把他們在田野裏所獻的祭帶到會幕門口、耶和華面前，交給祭司，獻與耶和華為平安祭。
6 And the preest schal schede the blood on the auter of the Lord, at the dore of the tabernacle of witnessyng; and he schal brenne the ynnere fatnesse in to odour of swetnesse to the Lord.
祭司要把血灑在會幕門口、耶和華的壇上，把脂油焚燒，獻給耶和華為馨香的祭。
7 And thei schulen no more offre her sacrifices to fendis, with whiche thei diden fornycacioun; it schal be a lawful thing euerlastynge to hem, and to the aftircomeris `of hem.
他們不可再獻祭給他們行邪淫所隨從的鬼魔；這要作他們世世代代永遠的定例。
8 And thou schalt seie to hem, A man of the hows of Israel, and of the comelyngis that ben pilgryms among you, that offrith a brent sacrifice, ethir a slayn sacrifice,
「你要曉諭他們說：凡以色列家中的人，或是寄居在他們中間的外人，獻燔祭或是平安祭，
9 and bryngith it not to the dore of the tabernacle of witnessyng, that it be offrid to the Lord, schal perische fro his puple.
若不帶到會幕門口獻給耶和華，那人必從民中剪除。
10 If ony man of the sones of Israel, and of comelyngis that ben pilgryms among you, etith blood, Y schal sette faste my face ayens `the soule of hym, and Y schal leese hym fro his puple;
「凡以色列家中的人，或是寄居在他們中間的外人，若吃甚麼血，我必向那吃血的人變臉，把他從民中剪除。
11 for the lijf of fleisch is in blood, and Y yaf that blood to you, that ye clense on myn auter `for youre soulis, and that the blood be for the synne of soule.
因為活物的生命是在血中。我把這血賜給你們，可以在壇上為你們的生命贖罪；因血裏有生命，所以能贖罪。
12 Therfor Y seide to the sones of Israel, Ech lyuynge man of you schal not ete blood, nethir of the comelyngis that ben pilgryms among you.
因此，我對以色列人說：你們都不可吃血；寄居在你們中間的外人也不可吃血。
13 What euer man of the sones of Israel, and of the comelyngis that ben pilgryms anentis you, takith a wielde beeste, ethir a brid, whiche it is leueful to ete, whether bi huntyng, whether bi haukyng, schede the blood therof, and hile it with erthe;
凡以色列人，或是寄居在他們中間的外人，若打獵得了可吃的禽獸，必放出牠的血來，用土掩蓋。
14 for the lijf of ech fleisch is in blood. Wherfor Y seide to the sones of Israel, Ye schulen not ete the blood of ony fleisch, for the lijf of fleisch is in blood, and who euer etith blood, schal perische.
「論到一切活物的生命，就在血中。所以我對以色列人說：無論甚麼活物的血，你們都不可吃，因為一切活物的血就是他的生命。凡吃了血的，必被剪除。
15 A man that etith a thing deed bi it silf, ethir takun of a beeste, as wel of men borun in the lond, as of comelyngis, he schal waische hise clothis and hym silf in watir, and he schal be `defoulid til to euentid; and by this ordre he schal be maad cleene; that if he waischith not his clothis,
凡吃自死的，或是被野獸撕裂的，無論是本地人，是寄居的，必不潔淨到晚上，都要洗衣服，用水洗身，到了晚上才為潔淨。
16 ether his bodi, he schal bere his wickidnesse.
但他若不洗衣服，也不洗身，就必擔當他的罪孽。」
