然而,在你各城里都可以照耶和华你神所赐你的福分,随心所欲宰牲吃肉。无论洁净人不洁净人都可以吃,就如吃羚羊与鹿一般。
Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
你的五谷,新酒,和油的十分之一,或是牛群羊群中头生的,或是你许愿献的,甘心献的,或是手中的举祭,都不可在你城里吃。
Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:
但要在耶和华你的神面前吃,在耶和华你神所耀选择的地方,你和儿女,仆婢,并住在你城里的利未人,都可以吃。也要因你手所办的,在耶和华你神的面前欢乐。
But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.
你要谨慎,在你所住的地方永不可丢弃利未人。
Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.
耶和华你的神照他所应许扩张你境界的时候,你心里想要吃肉,说,我要吃肉,就可以随心所欲地吃肉。
When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
耶和华你神所选择要立他名的地方若离你太远,就可以照我所吩咐的,将耶和华赐给你的牛羊取些宰了,可以随心所欲在你城里吃。
If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
只是你要心意坚定,不可吃血,因为血是生命。不可将血(原文作生命)与肉同吃。
Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
不可吃血,要倒在地上,如同倒水一样。
Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.
不可吃血。这样,你行耶和华眼中看为正的事,你和你的子孙就可以得福。
Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.
只是你分别为圣的物和你的还愿祭要奉到耶和华所选择的地方去。
Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose:
