Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Then the LORD said to Moses,
1Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2“Speak to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites and tell them this is what the LORD has commanded:
2Loquere Aaron et filiis ejus, et cunctis filiis Israël, dicens ad eos: Iste est sermo quem mandavit Dominus, dicens:
3‘Anyone from the house of Israel who slaughters an ox, a lamb, or a goat in the camp or outside of it
3Homo quilibet de domo Israël, si occiderit bovem aut ovem, sive capram, in castris vel extra castra,
4instead of bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD before His tabernacle—that man shall incur bloodguilt. He has shed blood and must be cut off from among his people.
4et non obtulerit ad ostium tabernaculi oblationem Domino, sanguinis reus erit: quasi si sanguinem fuderit, sic peribit de medio populi sui.
5For this reason the Israelites will bring to the LORD the sacrifices they have been offering in the open fields. They are to bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and offer them as sacrifices of peace to the LORD.
5Ideo sacerdoti offerre debent filii Israël hostias suas, quas occident in agro, ut sanctificentur Domino ante ostium tabernaculi testimonii, et immolent eas hostias pacificas Domino.
6The priest will then sprinkle the blood on the altar of the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and burn the fat as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
6Fundetque sacerdos sanguinem super altare Domini ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii, et adolebit adipem in odorem suavitatis Domino:
7They must no longer offer their sacrifices to the goat demons to which they have prostituted themselves. This will be a permanent statute for them for the generations to come.’
7et nequaquam ultra immolabunt hostias suas dæmonibus, cum quibus fornicati sunt. Legitimum sempiternum erit illis et posteris eorum.
8Tell them that if anyone from the house of Israel or any foreigner living among them offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice
8Et ad ipsos dices: Homo de domo Israël, et de advenis qui peregrinantur apud vos, qui obtulerit holocaustum sive victimam,
9but does not bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the LORD, that man must be cut off from his people.
9et ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii non adduxerit eam, ut offeratur Domino, interibit de populo suo.
10If anyone from the house of Israel or a foreigner living among them eats any blood, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from among his people.
10Homo quilibet de domo Israël et de advenis qui peregrinantur inter eos, si comederit sanguinem, obfirmabo faciem meam contra animam illius, et disperdam eam de populo suo,
11For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for your souls upon the altar; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.
11quia anima carnis in sanguine est: et ego dedi illum vobis, ut super altare in eo expietis pro animabus vestris, et sanguis pro animæ piaculo sit.
12Therefore I say to the Israelites, ‘None of you may eat blood, nor may any foreigner living among you eat blood.’
12Idcirco dixi filiis Israël: Omnis anima ex vobis non comedet sanguinem, nec ex advenis qui peregrinantur apud vos.
13And if any Israelite or foreigner living among them hunts down a wild animal or bird that may be eaten, he must drain its blood and cover it with dirt.
13Homo quicumque de filiis Israël, et de advenis qui peregrinantur apud vos, si venatione atque aucupio ceperit feram, vel avem, quibus vesci licitum est, fundat sanguinem ejus, et operiat illum terra.
14For the life of all flesh is its blood. Therefore I have told the Israelites, ‘You must not eat the blood of any living thing, because the life of all flesh is its blood; whoever eats it must be cut off.’
14Anima enim omnis carnis in sanguine est: unde dixi filiis Israël: Sanguinem universæ carnis non comedetis, quia anima carnis in sanguine est: et quicumque comederit illum, interibit.
15And any person, whether native or foreigner, who eats anything found dead or mauled by wild beasts must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening; then he will be clean.
15Anima, quæ comederit morticinum, vel captum a bestia, tam de indigenis, quam de advenis, lavabit vestimenta sua et semetipsum aqua, et contaminatus erit usque ad vesperum: et hoc ordine mundus fiet.
16But if he does not wash his clothes and bathe himself, then he shall bear his iniquity.”
16Quod si non laverit vestimenta sua et corpus, portabit iniquitatem suam.
