Leviticus, 17

1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

1. Jahve reèe Mojsiju:

2. Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, saying to them: This is the word, which the Lord has commanded, saying:

2. "Govori Aronu, njegovim sinovima i svima Izraelcima te im reci: 'Evo što je zapovjedio Jahve:

3. Any man at all of the house of Israel, if he will have killed an ox, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp or beyond the camp,

3. svaki onaj od Izraelova doma koji u taboru ili izvan tabora zakolje vola, ili ovcu, ili kozu,

4. and not have presented it as an oblation to the Lord at the door of the tabernacle, he shall be guilty of blood. It is just as if he had shed blood; so then, he shall perish from the midst of his people.

4. a ne donese ih na ulaz u Šator sastanka da se prinesu na dar Jahvi pred njegovim Prebivalištem, svaki takav neka je odgovoran: prolio je krv i neka se odstrani iz svoga naroda.'

5. Therefore, the sons of Israel must offer to the priest their victims, which they kill in the field, so that they may be sanctified to the Lord before the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and so that they may immolate them as peace offerings to the Lord.

5. Zato neka Izraelci svoje žrtve koje bi htjeli klati vani u polju dovedu na ulaz u Šator sastanka, k sveæeniku, i neka ih prinose kao žrtve prièesnice.

6. And the priest shall pour the blood upon the altar of the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and he shall burn the fat as a sweet odor to the Lord.

6. Neka sveæenik izlije krv po Jahvinu žrtveniku koji se nalazi na ulazu u Šator sastanka, a loj spali na ugodan miris Jahvi,

7. And they shall no longer immolate their victims to demons, with whom they have committed fornication. It shall be an everlasting ordinance for them and for their posterity.

7. tako da ubuduæe ne prinose svojih žrtava klanica jarcima s kojima se odaju bludu. Neka je ovo trajan zakon za njih i njihove naraštaje.

8. And you shall say to them: The man of the house of Israel, or of the newcomers who sojourn with you, who offers a holocaust or a victim,

8. I kaži im: 'Svaki pojedinac od Izraelova doma, ili stranac koji meðu vama boravi, koji prinese paljenicu ili klanicu

9. and who does not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, so that it may be offered to the Lord, shall pass away from his people.

9. a ne donese je na ulaz u Šator sastanka da se prinese Jahvi, taj neka se odstrani iz svoga naroda.'"

10. Any man at all of the house of Israel, or of the newcomers who sojourn among them, if he has eaten blood, I will harden my face against his soul, and I will drive him from his people.

10. "Nadalje, protiv svakoga pojedinca od Izraelova doma, a tako i protiv svakoga pridošlice meðu vama koji bi blagovao bilo kakvu krv, ja æu se okrenuti, svakoga tko blaguje krv odstranit æu iz njegova naroda.

11. For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you, so that you may atone with it upon the altar for your souls, and so that the blood may be for an expiation of the soul.

11. Jer je život živoga biæa u krvi. Tu krv ja sam vama dao da na žrtveniku njome obavljate obred pomirenja za svoje živote. Jer krv je ono što ispašta za život.

12. For this reason, I have said to the sons of Israel: No soul among you shall eat blood, nor among the newcomers who sojourn with you.

12. Zato sam kazao Izraelcima: neka nitko od vas ne jede krvi; neka ni stranac koji meðu vama bude ne jede krvi.

13. Any man at all from the sons of Israel, or from the newcomers who sojourn with you, whether by hunting or bird-catching, if he seizes a wild beast or a bird, which is lawful to eat, let him pour out its blood and cover the earth with it.

13. Tko god, Izraelac ili stranac koji meðu vama boravi, uhvati u lovu kakvu zvijer ili pticu što se može jesti neka joj prolije krv i zatrpa zemljom.

14. For the life of all flesh is in the blood. Therefore, I said to the sons of Israel: You shall not eat the blood of any flesh at all, because the life of the flesh is in the blood, and whoever has eaten it shall perish.

14. Jer život svakoga živog biæa jest njegova krv. Zato sam i rekao Izraelcima: ne smijete jesti krvi ni od kakva živog biæa, jer život svakoga živog biæa jest njegova krv. Tko god je bude jeo, neka se odstrani.

15. The soul who eats what has died on its own, or what has been caught by a beast, whether he is native born or a newcomer, shall wash his clothes and himself with water, and he shall be contaminated until evening. And by this means he shall be made clean.

15. Tko bi god, Izraelac ili stranac, jeo što je uginulo ili što su zvijeri rastrgale neka opere svoju odjeæu, u vodi se okupa i ostane neèistim do veèeri. Tada æe postati èist.

16. But if he will not wash his clothes and his body, he shall bear his iniquity.

16. Ali ako je ne opere i ne okupa svoga tijela, neka snosi posljedice svoje krivnje."
