Levítico 17

1 Y habló Jehová a Moisés, diciendo:

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

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:

Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them; This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying,

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

Whatever man there may be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it outside of the camp,

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 bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering to the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed to that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall 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.

To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them to the LORD, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to the priest, and offer them for 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 shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour 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 they shall no more offer their sacrifices to demons, with which they have committed idolatry. This shall be a statute for ever to them throughout 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 thou shalt say to them, Whatever man there may be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,

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 bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it to the LORD; even that man shall 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 whatever man there may be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him 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 the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

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.

Therefore I said to the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.

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 whatever man there may be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, who hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out its blood, and cover it with dust.

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 it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life of it: therefore I said to the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is its blood: whoever eateth it shall be cut off.

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 every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it is one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening: then shall he be clean.

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

But if he doth not wash them, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
