1Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen,And the Lord spoke to Moses,dicens:saying:

2Loquere AaronSpeak to Aaron and his sons,et filiis ejus,and to all the sons of Israel,et cunctis filiis Israël,saying to them:dicens ad eos:This is the word,Iste est sermo quem mandavit Dominus,which the Lord has commanded,dicens:saying:

3Homo quilibet de domo Israël,Any man at all of the house of Israel,si occiderit bovem aut ovem,if he will have killed an ox,sive capram,or a sheep,in castris vel extra castra,or a goat in the camp or beyond the camp,

4et non obtulerit ad ostium tabernaculi oblationem Domino,and not have presented it as an oblation to the Lord at the door of the tabernacle,sanguinis reus erit:he shall be guilty of blood.quasi si sanguinem fuderit,It is just as if he had shed blood; so then,sic peribit de medio populi sui.he shall perish from the midst of his people.

5Ideo sacerdoti offerre debent filii Israël hostias suas,Therefore, the sons of Israel must offer to the priest their victims,quas occident in agro,which they kill in the field,ut sanctificentur Domino ante ostium tabernaculi testimonii,so that they may be sanctified to the Lord before the door of the tabernacle of the testimony,et immolent eas hostias pacificas Domino.and so that they may immolate them as peace offerings to the Lord.

6Fundetque sacerdos sanguinem super altare Domini ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii,And the priest shall pour the blood upon the altar of the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony,et adolebit adipem in odorem suavitatis Domino:and he shall burn the fat as a sweet odor to the Lord.

7et nequaquam ultra immolabunt hostias suas dæmonibus,And they shall no longer immolate their victims to demons,cum quibus fornicati sunt.with whom they have committed fornication.Legitimum sempiternum erit illis et posteris eorum.It shall be an everlasting ordinance for them and for their posterity.

8Et ad ipsos dices:And you shall say to them:Homo de domo Israël,The man of the house of Israel,et de advenis qui peregrinantur apud vos,or of the newcomers who sojourn with you,qui obtulerit holocaustum sive victimam,who offers a holocaust or a victim,

9et ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii non adduxerit eam,and who does not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony,ut offeratur Domino,so that it may be offered to the Lord,interibit de populo suo.shall pass away from his people.

10Homo quilibet de domo IsraëlAny man at all of the house of Israel,et de advenis qui peregrinantur inter eos,or of the newcomers who sojourn among them,si comederit sanguinem,if he has eaten blood,obfirmabo faciem meam contra animam illius,I will harden my face against his soul,et disperdam eam de populo suo,and I will drive him from his people.

11quia anima carnis in sanguine est:For the life of the flesh is in the blood,et ego dedi illum vobis,and I have given it to you,ut super altare in eo expietis pro animabus vestris,so that you may atone with it upon the altar for your souls,et sanguis pro animæ piaculo sit.and so that the blood may be for an expiation of the soul.

12Idcirco dixi filiis Israël:For this reason, I have said to the sons of Israel:Omnis anima ex vobis non comedet sanguinem,No soul among you shall eat blood,nec ex advenis qui peregrinantur apud vos.nor among the newcomers who sojourn with you.

13Homo quicumque de filiis Israël,Any man at all from the sons of Israel,et de advenis qui peregrinantur apud vos,or from the newcomers who sojourn with you,si venatione atque aucupio ceperit feram, vel avem,whether by hunting or bird-catching, if he seizes a wild beast or a bird,quibus vesci licitum est,which is lawful to eat,fundat sanguinem ejus, et operiat illum terra.let him pour out its blood and cover the earth with it.

14Anima enim omnis carnis in sanguine est:For the life of all flesh is in the blood.unde dixi filiis Israël:Therefore,Sanguinem universæ carnis non comedetis,I said to the sons of Israel:quia anima carnis in sanguine est:You shall not eat the blood of any flesh at all,et quicumque comederit illum,because the life of the flesh is in the blood,interibit.and whoever has eaten it shall perish.

15Anima,The soul who eats what has died on its own,quæ comederit morticinum,or what has been caught by a beast,vel captum a bestia,whether he is native borntam de indigenis,or a newcomer,quam de advenis,shall wash his clotheslavabit vestimenta sua et semetipsum aqua,and himself with water,et contaminatus erit usque ad vesperum:and he shall be contaminated until evening.et hoc ordine mundus fiet.And by this means he shall be made clean.

16Quod si non laverit vestimenta sua et corpus,But if he will not wash his clothes and his body,portabit iniquitatem suam.he shall bear his iniquity.
