¹屠杀祭牲的条例

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²“你要告诉亚伦和他的儿子，以及以色列人，对他们说：这是耶和华的吩咐：

²`Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel; and thou hast said unto them, This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying,

³以色列家的任何人，不论在营内，或在营外，宰杀公牛、绵羊或山羊，

³Any man of the house of Israel who slaughtereth ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who slaughtereth at the outside of the camp,

⁴而不牵到会幕门口，耶和华的帐幕面前，献给耶和华作供物，流血的罪就要归到那人身上；他既然流了牲畜的血，就必从自己的族人中被剪除。

⁴and unto the opening of the tent of meeting hath not brought it in to bring near an offering to Jehovah before the tabernacle of Jehovah, blood is reckoned to that man — blood he hath shed — and that man hath been cut off from the midst of his people;

⁵这条例的目的是要以色列人把他们惯常在田野里宰杀的祭牲，带去给耶和华，到会幕门口交给祭司，好像献给耶和华作平安祭那样宰杀牲畜。

⁵so that the sons of Israel do bring in their sacrifices which they are sacrificing on the face of the field, yea, they have brought them in to Jehovah, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and they have sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offerings to Jehovah with them.

⁶祭司要把血泼在会幕门口耶和华的祭坛上，把脂肪焚烧，献给耶和华作馨香的祭。

⁶`And the priest hath sprinkled the blood upon the altar of Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting, and hath made perfume with the fat for sweet fragrance to Jehovah;

⁷他们不可再杀祭牲，献给那些山羊，就是他们所随从行邪淫的鬼神。这要作他们世世代代永远的律例。

⁷and they sacrifice not any more their sacrifices to goats after which they are going a-whoring; a statute age-during is this to them, to their generations.

⁸“你要对他们说：以色列家的任何人，或是在你们中间寄居的外人，献燔祭或是平安祭的时候，

⁸`And unto them thou sayest: Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners, who sojourneth in your midst, who causeth burnt-offering or sacrifice to ascend,

⁹如果不牵到会幕门口，把它献给耶和华，那人就必从自己的族人中被剪除。

⁹and unto the opening of the tent of meeting doth not bring it in to make it to Jehovah — that man hath been cut off from his people.

¹⁰严禁吃血“以色列家的任何人，或是在你们中间寄居的外人，如果吃了任何血，我必向那吃血的人变脸，把他从自己的族人中剪除。

¹⁰`And any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners, who is sojourning in your midst, who eateth any blood, I have even set My face against the person who is eating the blood, and have cut him off from the midst of his people;

¹¹因为动物的生命是在血里，我指定这祭坛上的血代替你们的生命，因为血里有生命，所以能代赎生命。

¹¹for the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar, to make atonement for your souls; for it [is] the blood which maketh atonement for the soul.

¹²所以我对以色列人说：你们中间任何人都不可吃血，在你们中间寄居的外人也不可吃血。

¹²`Therefore I have said to the sons of Israel, No person among you doth eat blood, and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst doth not eat blood;

¹³任何以色列人，或是在你们中间寄居的外人中，有人打猎得了可以吃的禽兽，总要放尽它的血，用泥土掩盖。

¹³and any man of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners, who is sojourning in your midst, who hunteth venison, beast or fowl, which is eaten — hath even poured out its blood, and hath covered it with dust;

¹⁴“因为所有动物的生命就在它们的血中，所以我对以色列人说：任何动物的血，你们都不可吃；因为所有动物的血，就是它的生命；吃血的，必被剪除。

¹⁴for [it is] the life of all flesh, its blood is for its life; and I say to the sons of Israel, Blood of any flesh ye do not eat, for the life of all flesh is its blood; any one eating it is cut off.

¹⁵吃了自死的，或是被野兽撕裂的动物，无论是本地人或是寄居的，都要洗净自己的衣服，用水洗澡，并且不洁净到晚上，以后他才算洁净。

¹⁵`And any person who eateth a carcase or torn thing, among natives or among sojourners — hath both washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been unclean until the evening — then he hath been clean;

¹⁶但是，如果他不洗净衣服，也不洗身，他就要担当自己的罪责。”

¹⁶and if he wash not, and his flesh bathe not — then he hath borne his iniquity.`
