EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOSCATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 El Señor dijo a Moisés:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Habla a Aarón, a sus hijos y a todos los israelitas, y diles: El Señor ha dado esta orden: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:
3 Si un hombre de la casa de Israel inmola un buey, una oveja o una cabra dentro del campamento o fuera de él,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,
4 y no lo lleva a la entrada de la Carpa del Encuentro para presentarlo como ofrenda al Señor, delante de su Morada, será considerado reo de sangre: él ha derramado sangre, y por eso será excluido de su pueblo.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.
5 Así está mandado, a fin de que los israelitas traigan las víctimas que ellos suelen sacrificar en campo abierto, y las presenten al Señor, a la entrada de la Carpa del Encuentro, entregándolas al sacerdote para que sean ofrecidas al Señor como sacrificio de comunión.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.
6 Entonces el sacerdote rociará con esa sangre el altar del Señor, a la entrada de la Carpa del Encuentro, y hará arder las partes grasosas como aroma agradable al Señor.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.
7 De esta manera, los israelitas dejarán de ofrecer sacrificios a los sátiros, detrás de los cuales se están prostituyendo. Este será para ellos un decreto válido para siempre, a lo largo de las generaciones.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.
8 Diles además: Si un hombre de la casa de Israel o alguno de los extranjeros que residen en medio de ustedes, ofrece un holocausto o un sacrificio,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,
9 y no lo lleva a la entrada de la Carpa del Encuentro para ofrecerlo al Señor, será excluido de su pueblo.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.
10 Si un hombre de la casa de Israel o alguno de los extranjeros que residen en medio de ustedes, como cualquier clase de sangre, yo volveré mi rostro contra esa persona y la excluiré de su pueblo.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.
11 Porque la vida de la carne está en la sangre, y yo mismo les he puesto la sangre sobre el altar, para que les sirva de expiación, ya que la sangre es la que realiza la expiación, en virtud de la vida que hay en ella.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.
12 Por eso dije a los israelitas: «Ninguno de ustedes comerá sangre, no tampoco lo hará el extranjero que resida en medio de ustedes».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.
13 Y cualquier israelita o cualquiera de los extranjeros que residen en medio de ustedes, caza un animal o un pájaro de esos que está permitido comer, derramará su sangre y la cubrirá con tierra.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.
14 Porque la vida de toda carne es su sangre. Por eso dije a los israelitas: «No coman la sangre de ninguna carne, porque la vida de toda carne es su sangre. El que la coma, será extirpado».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.
15 Cualquiera, sea nativo o extranjero, que coma un animal muerto o despedazado por las fieras, deberá lavar su ropa y bañarse con agua, y será impuro hasta la tarde. Después será puro.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.
16 Y si no lava su ropa ni se baña, cargará con su iniquidad,16 But if he will not wash his clothes and his body, he shall bear his iniquity.
