Levítico 17

1 Y habló Jehová a Moisés, diciendo:

And the Lord said to Moses,

2 Habla a Aarón, y a sus hijos, y a todos los hijos de Israel, y díles: Esto es lo que ha mandado Jehová, diciendo:

Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel: This is the order which the Lord has given.

3 Cualquier varón de la casa de Israel, que degollare buey, o cordero, o cabra en el real, o fuera del real,

If any man of Israel puts to death an ox or a lamb or a goat, in or outside the tent-circle;

4 Y no lo trajere a la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio para ofrecer ofrenda a Jehová delante del tabernáculo de Jehová, sangre será imputada al tal varón: sangre derramó; el tal varón será cortado de entre su pueblo:

And has not taken it to the door of the Tent of meeting, to make an offering to the Lord, before the Lord's House, its blood will be on him, for he has taken life, and he will be cut off from among his people:

5 Porque traigan los hijos de Israel sus sacrificios que sacrificaren sobre la haz del campo: porque los traigan a Jehová a la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio al sacerdote, y sacrifiquen sacrificios de paces ellos a Jehová.

So that the children of Israel may take to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting and to the priest, the offerings which they have put to death in the open country, and that they may make their peace-offerings to the Lord.

6 Y el sacerdote esparza la sangre sobre el altar de Jehová a la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio, y haga perfume del sebo en olor de holganza a Jehová.

And the priest will put blood on the altar of the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting, burning the fat for a sweet smell to the Lord.

7 Y nunca más sacrificarán sus sacrificios a los demonios, tras los cuales fornican: esto tendrán por estatuto perpetuo por sus edades.

And let them make no more offerings to evil spirits, after which they have gone, turning away from the Lord. Let this be a law to them for ever, through all their generations.

8 Ítem, decirles has: Cualquier varón de la casa de Israel, o de los extranjeros, que peregrinan entre vosotros, que ofreciere holocausto, o sacrificio,

And say to them, If any man of Israel, or any other living among them, makes a burned offering or other offering,

9 Y no lo trajere a la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio, para hacerlo a Jehová, el tal varón también, será cortado de sus pueblos.

And does not take it to the door of the Tent of meeting to make an offering to the Lord, that man will be cut off from among his people.

10 Ítem, cualquier varón de la casa de Israel, y de los extranjeros que peregrinan entre ellos, que comiere alguna sangre, yo pondré mi rostro contra la persona, que comiere sangre, y yo la cortaré de entre su pueblo.

And if any man of Israel, or any other living among them, takes any sort of blood for food, my wrath will be turned against that man and he will be cut off from among his people.

11 Porque el alma de la carne en la sangre está: y yo os la he dado para expiar vuestras personas sobre el altar: por lo cual la misma sangre expiará la persona:

For the life of the flesh is in its blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to take away your sin: for it is the blood which makes free from sin because of the life in it.

12 Por tanto he dicho a los hijos de Israel: Ninguna persona de vosotros comerá sangre, ni el extranjero, que peregrina entre vosotros comerá sangre.

For this reason I have said to the children of Israel, No man among you, or any others living with you, may take blood as food.

13 Y cualquier varón de los hijos de Israel, y de los extranjeros, que peregrinan entre ellos que tomare caza de animal, o de ave, que sea de comer, derramará su sangre, y cubrirla ha con tierra.

And any man of Israel, or any other living among them, who gets with his bow any beast or bird used for food, is to see that its blood is covered with earth.

14 Porque el alma de toda carne en su sangre está su alma: por tanto he dicho a los hijos de Israel: No comeréis la sangre de ninguna carne, porque el alma de toda carne es su sangre: cualquiera que la comiere, será cortado.

For the blood is the life of all flesh: and so I have said to the children of Israel, You may not take any sort of blood as food, and any man who does so will be cut of.

15 Ítem, cualquiera persona que comiere cosa mortecina, o despedazada, así de los naturales como de los extranjeros, lavará sus vestidos, y a sí se lavará con agua, y será inmunda hasta la tarde, y limpiarse ha.

And anyone who takes as food anything which has come to a natural end, or anything which has been put to death by beasts, if he is one of you by birth, or of another nation, will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening, and then he will be clean.

16 Y si no lavare, ni lavare su carne, llevará su iniquidad.

But if his clothing is not washed and his body bathed, his sin will be on him.
