Levitico 17

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:	1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “ Loquere Aaron et filiis eius et cunctis filiis Israel et dices ad eos: Iste est sermo, quem mandavit Dominus dicens:	2 Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel, saying to them: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded, saying:
3 Homo quilibet de domo Israel, si occiderit bovem aut ovem sive capram in castris vel extra castra	3 Any man whosoever of the house of Israel if he kill an ox, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp, or without the camp,
4 et non attulerit ad ostium tabernaculi conventus in oblationem Domino coram habitaculo Domini, sanguinis reus erit; sanguinem fudit et peribit de medio populi sui.	4 And offer it not at the door of the tabernacle an oblation to the Lord, shall be guilty of blood: as if he had shed blood, so shall he perish from the midst of his people.
5 Ideo offerre debent sacerdoti filii Israel hostias suas, quas occidunt in agro, ut afferant Domino ante ostium tabernaculi conventus et immolent eas hostias pacificas Domino.	5 Therefore the children of Israel shall bring to the priest their victims, which they kill in the field, that they may be sanctified to the Lord before the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and they may sacrifice them for peace offerings to the Lord.
6 Fundetque sacerdos sanguinem super altare Domini ad ostium tabernaculi conventus et adolebit adipem in odorem suavitatis Domino;	6 And the priest shall pour the blood upon the altar of the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and shall burn the fat for a sweet odour to the Lord.
7 et nequaquam ultra immolabunt hostias suas daemonibus, cum quibus fornicati sunt: legitimum sempiternum erit hoc illis et posteris eorum ”.	7 And they shall no more sacrifice their victims to devils, with whom they have committed fornication. It shall be an ordinance for ever to them and to their posterity.
8 Et ad ipsos dices: “ Homo de domo Israel et de advenis, qui peregrinantur apud vos, qui obtulerit holocaustum sive sacrificium	8 And thou shalt say to them: The man of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who sojourn among you, that offereth a holocaust or a victim,
9 et ad ostium tabernaculi conventus non adduxerit victimam, ut offeratur Domino, interibit de populo suo.	9 And bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be offered to the Lord, shall perish from among his people.
10 Homo quilibet de domo Israel et de advenis, qui peregrinantur inter eos, si comederit sanguinem, confirmabo faciem meam contra talem animam et disperdam eam de populo suo.	10 If any man whosoever of the house of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among them, eat blood, I will set my face against his soul, and will cut him off from among his people:
11 Quia anima carnis in sanguine est, et ego dedi illum vobis, ut super altare in eo expietis pro animabus vestris, quia sanguis ipse per animam expiat.	11 Because the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you, that you may make atonement with it upon the altar for your souls, and the blood may be for an expiation of the soul.
12 Idcirco dixi filiis Israel: Omnis anima ex vobis non comedet sanguinem, nec ex advenis, qui peregrinantur inter vos.	12 Therefore I have said to the children of Israel: No soul of you, nor of the strangers that sojourn among you, shall eat blood.
13 Homo quicumque de filiis Israel et de advenis, qui peregrinantur apud vos, si venatione ceperit feram vel avem, quibus vesci licitum est, fundat sanguinem eius et operiat illum terra.	13 Any man whosoever of the children of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among you, if by hunting or fowling, he take a wild beast or a bird, which is lawful to eat, let him pour out its blood, and cover it with earth.
14 Anima enim omnis carnis, sanguis est anima eius, unde dixi filiis Israel: Sanguinem universae carnis non comedetis, quia anima omnis carnis sanguis eius est; et, quicumque comederit illum, interibit.	14 For the life of all flesh is in the blood: therefore I said to the children of Israel: You shall not eat the blood of any flesh at all, because the life of the flesh is in the blood, and whosoever eateth it, shall be cut off.
15 Anima, quae comederit morticinum vel captum a bestia, tam de indigenis quam de advenis, lavabit vestes suas et semetipsum aqua, et contaminatus erit usque ad vesperum; et hoc ordine mundus fiet.	15 The soul that eateth that which died of itself, or has been caught by a beast, whether he be one of your own country or a stranger, shall wash his clothes and himself with water, and shall be defiled until the evening: and in this manner he shall be made clean.
16 Quod si non laverit vestimenta sua nec corpus, portabit iniquitatem suam ”.	16 But if he do not wash his clothes, and his body, he shall bear his iniquity.
