Leviticus 17

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:

2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying,

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

3 Every one of the house of Israel that slaughtereth an ox, or sheep, or goat, in the camp, or that slaughtereth 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 doth not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to present it as an offering to Jehovah, before the tabernacle of Jehovah, blood shall be reckoned unto that man: he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among 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 to the end that the children of Israel bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they bring them to Jehovah, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and sacrifice them as sacrifices of peace-offerings to Jehovah.

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 sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Jehovah, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet odour to Jehovah.

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

7 And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices unto demons, after whom they go a whoring. This shall be an everlasting statute unto them for their 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 thou shalt say unto them, Every one of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who sojourn among them, that offereth up a burnt-offering or 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 bringeth it not to the entrance of the tent of meeting, to offer it up to Jehovah — that man shall be cut off from his peoples.

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

10 And every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood, — I will set my face against the soul that hath eaten blood, and will cut him off from among his 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 soul of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that maketh 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 have I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall the stranger who sojourneth among you 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 every one of the children of Israel, and of the strangers who sojourn among them, that catcheth in the hunt a beast or fowl that may be eaten, he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with earth;

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 as to the life of all flesh, its blood is the life in it; and I have said unto the children of Israel, Of the blood of no manner of flesh shall ye eat, for the life of all flesh is its blood: whoever eateth it shall be cut off.

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 that eateth of a dead carcase, or of that which was torn, be it one home-born, or a stranger, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even: then he shall 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 And if he wash them not nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.

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