Ang Tanging Lugar ng Pagsamba
12 “Ito ang mga tuntunin na kailangan ninyong sundin sa buong panahon ng inyong paninirahan sa lupaing ibibigay sa inyo ni Yahweh, ang Diyos ng inyong mga ninuno. 2 Gibain ninyo ang lahat ng lugar na pinagdarausan ng pagsamba ng mga tao roon sa kanilang mga diyus-diyosan: sa itaas ng mga bundok, sa mga burol, at sa lilim ng mga punongkahoy. 3 Gibain(A) ninyo ang kanilang mga altar, pagputul-putulin ang kanilang mga sinasambang haligi, sunugin ang mga imahen ng kanilang diyosang si Ashera, durugin ang kanilang mga diyus-diyosan, at alisin sa lugar na iyon ang anumang bakas nila.
4 “At sa pagsamba ninyo sa Diyos ninyong si Yahweh, huwag kayong tutulad sa kanila na sumasamba sa kanilang mga diyus-diyosan kahit saan maibigan. 5 Sa halip, hanapin ninyo ang lugar na pipiliin ni Yahweh sa lupain ng isa sa inyong mga lipi; doon lamang niya ipahahayag ang kanyang pangalan at iyon ang ituturing niyang tahanan. 6 Doon ninyo siya sasambahin at doon iaalay ang inyong mga handog na susunugin at iba pang handog tulad ng ikasampung bahagi, handog mula sa inyong ani, pangakong handog, kusang handog, ang mga unang bunga ng pananim, at ang panganay na anak ng inyong mga alagang hayop. 7 Doon din kayo magsasalu-salo sa harapan ni Yahweh na inyong Diyos bilang pasasalamat sa mga pagpapala niya sa inyo.
8 “Hindi na ninyo magagawa roon ang ginagawa ninyo rito ngayon. Nagagawa ninyo ngayon ang anumang magustuhan ninyo, 9 sapagkat wala pa kayo sa lupaing ibinigay sa inyo ng Diyos ninyong si Yahweh. 10 Ngunit pagkatawid ninyo ng Jordan, kapag kayo'y nasa lupaing inyong pupuntahan, nalipol na ninyo ang inyong mga kaaway, at panatag na ang inyong pamumuhay, iba na ang inyong gagawin. 11 Ialay ninyo sa lugar na pipiliin ni Yahweh ang inyong mga handog na susunugin at iba pang handog, tulad ng ikapu, handog mula sa inyong mga ani, at mga pangakong handog. 12 Magdiwang kayo sa harapan ni Yahweh, kasama ang inyong mga anak at mga alipin. Isama rin ninyo ang mga Levita, sapagkat hindi sila kasama sa paghahati ng lupain. 13 Ngunit huwag na huwag kayong magsusunog ng handog kahit saan ninyo maibigan. 14 Doon lamang ninyo iaalay ang mga handog na susunugin at gagawin ang lahat ng iniuutos ko sa inyo sa lugar na pipiliin ni Yahweh mula sa lupain ng isa sa inyong mga lipi.
15 “Kahit saan ay maaari kayong magpatay ng hayop at maaaring kumain ng karne nito hanggang gusto ninyo, katulad ng pagkain ng usa. Maaaring kumain nito pati ang mga itinuturing na marumi. 16 Ngunit(B) huwag ninyong kakainin ang dugo; kailangang patuluin ito sa lupa. 17 Hindi rin ninyo maaaring kainin sa inyong mga tirahan ang mga ito: ang ikasampung bahagi ng inyong mga ani, alak at langis, ang panganay na anak ng inyong mga hayop, ang pangakong handog, kusang handog, at iba pang handog. 18 Ang mga ito ay maaari lamang ninyong kainin sa harapan ng Diyos ninyong si Yahweh, sa lugar na pipiliin niya. Maaari ninyong makasalo ang inyong mga anak, mga alipin at ang mga Levita bilang pagdiriwang dahil sa pagpapala sa inyo ni Yahweh. 19 Huwag ninyong pababayaan ang mga Levita habang kayo'y nasa inyong lupain.
20 “Kapag napalawak na ni Yahweh ang lupaing nasasakop ninyo at ibig na ninyong kumain ng karne, maaari kayong kumain hanggang gusto ninyo. 21 Kung kayo'y malayo sa lugar ng pagsamba na pinili niya, maaari ninyong patayin ang isa sa inyong mga hayop, 22 at kainin tulad ng pagkain ng usa. Lahat ay maaari nang kumain, maging ang taong itinuturing na malinis o marumi. 23 Ngunit(C) huwag ninyong kakainin ang dugo sapagkat nasa dugo ang buhay; ang sangkap ng buhay ay hindi dapat kainin. 24 Huwag na huwag ninyong kakainin ang dugo, sa halip ay patuluin ito sa lupa. 25 Huwag ninyong kakainin iyon; magiging maganda ang buhay ninyo at ng inyong mga anak kung gagawin ninyo ang naaayon sa kagustuhan ni Yahweh. 26 Ang lahat ng handog na dapat ninyong ibigay at ang inyong pangakong handog ay dadalhin ninyo sa lugar na pipiliin niya. 27 Ang inyong mga handog na susunugin, laman at dugo, ay ihahain ninyo sa altar niya. Ibubuhos ninyo sa altar ang dugo, at ang laman ay maaari ninyong kainin. 28 Sundin ninyong mabuti ang mga tagubilin ko sa inyo at magiging maganda ang buhay ninyo at ng inyong mga anak sa habang panahon, sapagkat ang pagsunod na ito'y tama at katanggap-tanggap kay Yahweh na inyong Diyos.
Babala Laban sa Pagsamba sa Diyus-diyosan
29 “Kapag napalayas na ng Diyos ninyong si Yahweh ang mga tao sa lupaing iyon at kayo na ang nakatira roon, 30 huwag ninyong tutularan ang kasuklam-suklam nilang gawain. Huwag na ninyong alamin pa kung paano sila sumamba sa mga diyos nila, baka gayahin pa ninyo ang mga iyon. 31 Huwag ninyong gagawin kay Yahweh ang karumal-dumal na gawain nila sa pagsamba sa kanilang diyus-diyosan gaya ng pagsusunog ng kanilang anak bilang handog.
32 “Sundin(D) ninyong mabuti ang lahat ng iniutos ko sa inyo. Huwag ninyo itong daragdagan ni babawasan.
Deuteronomy 12
King James Version
12 These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the Lord God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
3 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
4 Ye shall not do so unto the Lord your God.
5 But unto the place which the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:
6 And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:
7 And there ye shall eat before the Lord your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the Lord thy God hath blessed thee.
8 Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the Lord your God giveth you.
10 But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the Lord your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;
11 Then there shall be a place which the Lord your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the Lord:
12 And ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:
14 But in the place which the Lord shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
15 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.
16 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
17 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:
18 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.
19 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.
20 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.
21 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.
22 Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.
23 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.
24 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.
25 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.
26 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the Lord shall choose:
27 And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the Lord thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the Lord thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.
28 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the Lord thy God.
29 When the Lord thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
31 Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Yahweh’s Chosen Place of Worship
12 “These are the statutes and the judgments which you shall be careful to do in the land which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess (A)all the days you live on the [a]earth. 2 You shall utterly destroy all the places where the nations whom you shall dispossess serve their gods, on the (B)high mountains and on the hills and under every green tree. 3 (C)And you shall tear down their altars and shatter their sacred pillars and burn their [b]Asherim with fire, and you shall cut the graven images of their gods in pieces and (D)destroy their name from that place. 4 You shall not do thus toward Yahweh your God. 5 (E)But you shall seek Yahweh at the place which Yahweh your God will choose from all your tribes, to establish His name there for His dwelling, and there you shall come. 6 And there you shall bring your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, (F)your tithes, the [c]contribution of your hand, your votive offerings, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock. 7 There also you and your households shall eat before Yahweh your God, and (G)be glad in all that you send forth your hand to do, in which Yahweh your God has blessed you.
8 “You shall not do at all what we are doing here today, (H)every man doing whatever is right in his own eyes; 9 for you have not as yet come to (I)the resting place and the (J)inheritance which Yahweh your God is giving you. 10 Now you will cross the Jordan and live in the land which Yahweh your God is giving you to inherit. And (K)He will give you rest from all your enemies around you so that you live in security. 11 (L)Then it will be that the place in which Yahweh your God will choose for His name to dwell, there you shall bring all that I am commanding you: your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and the [d]contribution of your hand, and all your choice votive offerings which you will vow to Yahweh. 12 And you shall (M)be glad before Yahweh your God, you and your sons and daughters, your male and female slaves, and the (N)Levite who is within your gates, since (O)he has no portion or inheritance with you.
13 “(P)Beware, lest you offer your burnt offerings in every cultic place you see, 14 but in the place which Yahweh chooses in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I am commanding you.
15 “(Q)However, you may sacrifice and eat meat within any of your gates, [e]whatever you desire, according to the blessing of Yahweh your God which He has given you; the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of (R)the gazelle and the deer. 16 (S)Only you shall not eat the blood; (T)you are to pour it out on the ground like water. 17 (U)You are not allowed to eat within your gates the tithe of your grain or new wine or oil, or the firstborn of your herd or flock, or any of your votive offerings which you vow, or your freewill offerings, or the [f]contribution of your hand. 18 But (V)you shall eat them before Yahweh your God in (W)the place which Yahweh your God will choose, you and your son and daughter, and your male and female slaves, and the (X)Levite who is within your gates; and you shall (Y)be glad before Yahweh your God in all that you send forth your hand to do. 19 (Z)Beware lest you forsake the Levite all your days upon your land.
20 “When Yahweh your God enlarges your territory (AA)as He has promised you, and you say, ‘I will eat meat,’ because [g]you desire to eat meat, then you may eat meat, [h]whatever you desire. 21 If the place where Yahweh your God chooses to set His name is too far away from you, then you may sacrifice of your herd and flock which Yahweh has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates [i]whatever you desire. 22 Just as a gazelle or a deer is eaten, so you will eat it; the unclean and the clean alike may eat of it. 23 Only be strong in yourselves (AB)not to eat the blood, for the blood is the [j]life, and you shall not eat the [k]life with the flesh. 24 You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out on the ground like water. 25 You shall not eat it, so that (AC)it may be well with you and your sons after you, for (AD)you will be doing what is right in the sight of Yahweh. 26 (AE)Only your holy things which you may have and your votive offerings, you shall take and go to the place which Yahweh chooses. 27 And (AF)you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of Yahweh your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of Yahweh your God, and (AG)you shall eat the flesh.
28 “Be careful to listen to all these words which I command you, so that (AH)it may be well with you and your sons after you forever, for you will be doing what is good and right in the sight of Yahweh your God.
29 “When (AI)Yahweh your God cuts off before you the nations which you are going in to dispossess, and you dispossess them and inhabit their land, 30 beware lest you be ensnared [l]to follow them, after they are destroyed before you, and lest you inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations serve their gods, that I also may do likewise?’ 31 (AJ)You shall not do thus toward Yahweh your God, for every abominable act which Yahweh hates they have done for their gods; for (AK)they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.
32 “[m](AL)Whatever I am commanding you, you shall be careful to do; (AM)you shall not add to nor take away from it.
