Levitski zakonik 17
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Govori Aronu, njegovim sinovima i svima Izraelcima te im reci: 'Evo što je zapovjedio Jahve:
Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel, saying to them: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded, saying:
3 svaki onaj od Izraelova doma koji u taboru ili izvan tabora zakolje vola, ili ovcu, ili kozu,
Any man whosoever of the house of Israel if he kill an ox, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp, or without the camp,
4 a ne donese ih na ulaz u Šator sastanka da se prinesu na dar Jahvi pred njegovim Prebivalištem, svaki takav neka je odgovoran: prolio je krv i neka se odstrani iz svoga naroda.'
And offer it not at the door of the tabernacle an oblation to the Lord, shall be guilty of blood: as if he had shed blood, so shall he perish from the midst of his people.
5 Zato neka Izraelci svoje žrtve koje bi htjeli klati vani u polju dovedu na ulaz u Šator sastanka, k svećeniku, i neka ih prinose kao žrtve pričesnice.
Therefore the children of Israel shall bring to the priest their victims, which they kill in the field, that they may be sanctified to the Lord before the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and they may sacrifice them for peace offerings to the Lord.
6 Neka svećenik izlije krv po Jahvinu žrtveniku koji se nalazi na ulazu u Šator sastanka, a loj spali na ugodan miris Jahvi,
And the priest shall pour the blood upon the altar of the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and shall burn the fat for a sweet odour to the Lord.
7 tako da ubuduće ne prinose svojih žrtava klanica jarcima s kojima se odaju bludu. Neka je ovo trajan zakon za njih i njihove naraštaje.
And they shall no more sacrifice their victims to devils, with whom they have committed fornication. It shall be an ordinance for ever to them and to their posterity.
8 I kaži im: 'Svaki pojedinac od Izraelova doma, ili stranac koji među vama boravi, koji prinese paljenicu ili klanicu
And thou shalt say to them: The man of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who sojourn among you, that offereth a holocaust or a victim,
9 a ne donese je na ulaz u Šator sastanka da se prinese Jahvi, taj neka se odstrani iz svoga naroda.'”
And bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be offered to the Lord, shall perish from among his people.
10 “Nadalje, protiv svakoga pojedinca od Izraelova doma, a tako i protiv svakoga pridošlice među vama koji bi blagovao bilo kakvu krv, ja ću se okrenuti, svakoga tko blaguje krv odstranit ću iz njegova naroda.
If any man whosoever of the house of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among them, eat blood, I will set my face against his soul, and will cut him off from among his people:
11 Jer je život živoga bića u krvi. Tu krv ja sam vama dao da na žrtveniku njome obavljate obred pomirenja za svoje živote. Jer krv je ono što ispašta za život.
Because the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you, that you may make atonement with it upon the altar for your souls, and the blood may be for an expiation of the soul.
12 Zato sam kazao Izraelcima: neka nitko od vas ne jede krvi; neka ni stranac koji među vama bude ne jede krvi.
Therefore I have said to the children of Israel: No soul of you, nor of the strangers that sojourn among you, shall eat blood.
13 Tko god, Izraelac ili stranac koji među vama boravi, uhvati u lovu kakvu zvijer ili pticu što se može jesti neka joj prolije krv i zatrpa zemljom.
Any man whosoever of the children of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among you, if by hunting or fowling, he take a wild beast or a bird, which is lawful to eat, let him pour out its blood, and cover it with earth.
14 Jer život svakoga živog bića jest njegova krv. Zato sam i rekao Izraelcima: ne smijete jesti krvi ni od kakva živog bića, jer život svakoga živog bića jest njegova krv. Tko god je bude jeo, neka se odstrani.
For the life of all flesh is in the blood: therefore I said to the children of Israel: You shall not eat the blood of any flesh at all, because the life of the flesh is in the blood, and whosoever eateth it, shall be cut off.
15 Tko bi god, Izraelac ili stranac, jeo što je uginulo ili što su zvijeri rastrgale neka opere svoju odjeću, u vodi se okupa i ostane nečistim do večeri. Tada će postati čist.
The soul that eateth that which died of itself, or has been caught by a beast, whether he be one of your own country or a stranger, shall wash his clothes and himself with water, and shall be defiled until the evening: and in this manner he shall be made clean.
16 Ali ako je ne opere i ne okupa svoga tijela, neka snosi posljedice svoje krivnje.”
But if he do not wash his clothes, and his body, he shall bear his iniquity.
