Imamat 17
1 TUHAN menyuruh Musa
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 memberikan peraturan-peraturan ini kepada Harun, anak-anaknya dan seluruh bangsa Israel.
Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, saying,
3 Apabila seorang bangsa Israel mempersembahkan sapi, domba atau kambing kepada TUHAN, binatang itu harus disembelihnya di depan pintu Kemah TUHAN. Kalau ia menyembelihnya di tempat lain, ia melanggar hukum karena menumpahkan darah. Ia tidak lagi dianggap anggota umat Allah.
Any man whatsoever of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or a sheep, or a goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,
And bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it as an offering unto the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord: as blood-guiltiness shall it be imputed unto that man, blood hath he shed; and that man shall be cut off from among his people.
5 Perintah itu dimaksudkan supaya bangsa Israel membawa ke Kemah TUHAN semua binatang persembahan yang biasanya mereka sembelih di ladang. Mereka wajib membawa persembahan itu kepada imam di depan pintu Kemah TUHAN dan menyembelihnya di situ untuk kurban perdamaian.
In order that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they slay in the open field, and bring them unto the Lord, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and slay them as sacrifices of peace-offerings unto the Lord.
6 Imam harus menyiramkan darah binatang itu pada sisi-sisi mezbah di depan pintu Kemah TUHAN lalu membakar lemaknya supaya baunya menyenangkan hati TUHAN.
And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; and he shall burn the fat for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
7 Bangsa Israel harus tetap setia kepada TUHAN dan sekali-kali tak boleh menyembelih binatang di ladang-ladang untuk persembahan kepada jin-jin jahat. Peraturan itu harus ditaati untuk selama-lamanya.
So that they shall offer no more their sacrifices unto evil spirits, after which they have gone astray: a statute for ever shall this be unto them throughout their generations.
8 Apabila seorang Israel atau seorang asing yang tinggal menetap di antara orang Israel mempersembahkan kurban bakaran atau kurban lain
And unto them shalt thou say, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who may sojourn among them, that offereth a burnt-offering or a sacrifice,
9 kepada TUHAN, ia harus mempersembahkannya di depan pintu Kemah TUHAN. Kalau ia mempersembahkannya di tempat lain, ia tak boleh lagi dianggap anggota umat Allah.
And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the Lord: even that man shall be cut off from among his people.
10 Kalau seorang Israel atau seorang asing yang tinggal menetap di antara orang Israel makan darah, ia akan dihukum TUHAN dan tidak lagi dianggap anggota umat-Nya.
And if there be any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood: I will set my face against the person that eateth the blood, and I will cut him off from among his people.
11 Nyawa setiap makhluk ada di dalam darahnya. Karena itu TUHAN memerintahkan supaya semua darah disiramkan ke atas mezbah supaya dosa-dosa umat dihapuskan. Darah yaitu nyawa, menghapuskan dosa.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have appointed it for you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls; for the blood it is that maketh an atonement for the soul.
12 Itulah sebabnya bangsa Israel atau orang asing yang menetap di antara mereka dilarang makan darah.
Therefore have I said unto the children of Israel, No one of you shall eat blood, and the stranger that sojourneth among you shall not eat blood.
13 Apabila seorang Israel atau seorang asing yang tinggal menetap di antara bangsa Israel menangkap burung atau binatang lain yang tidak haram, ia harus mengeluarkan darah binatang itu dan menimbuninya dengan tanah.
And if there be any man whatsoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who catcheth by hunting any beast or fowl that may be eaten: then shall he pour out the blood thereof, and cover it up with dust.
14 Nyawa setiap makhluk ada di dalam darahnya, sebab itu TUHAN melarang bangsa Israel makan darah. Setiap orang yang melakukan perbuatan terlarang itu tidak lagi dianggap anggota umat Allah.
For the life of all flesh is its blood, on which its life dependeth; therefore have I said unto the children of Israel, The blood of every manner of flesh shall ye not eat; for the life of all flesh is its blood, every one who eateth it shall be cut off.
15 Setiap orang Israel atau orang asing yang makan daging binatang yang mati dengan sendirinya atau mati diterkam binatang buas, harus mencuci pakaiannya lalu mandi dan menunggu sampai matahari terbenam, barulah ia menjadi bersih.
And every person that eateth that which hath died of itself, or that which was torn by beasts, be this one born in your own country, or a stranger, shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening, when he shall be clean.
16 Kalau ia tidak melakukan itu, ia harus menanggung akibatnya.
But if he wash [them] not, nor bathe his flesh, then shall he bear his iniquity.
