利未記 1
1 上主叫了梅瑟來，由會幕中訓示他說：
Then the Lord called Moses and spoke to him from the tabernacle of the testimony, saying:
2 你告訴以色列子民說：你們中若有人願意由家畜中給上主奉獻祭品。應以牛羊作你們的祭品。
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man among you who will offer to the Lord a sacrifice from the cattle, that is, an offering of victims of oxen or sheep:
3 若有人獻牛作全燔祭，該獻一條無瑕的公牛，牽到會幕門口，為在上主面前蒙受納悅；
if his offering will be a holocaust, as well as from the herd, he shall offer an immaculate male at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, to make himself pleasing to the Lord.
4 先按手在全燔祭的頭上，使祭牲蒙受納悅，代自己贖罪。
And he shall place his hand on the head of the sacrifice, and so it shall be acceptable and effective, in its expiation.
5 以後在上主面前宰了那牛，亞郎的兒子司祭們，應奉獻牲血，將血灑在會幕門的祭壇的四週。
And he shall immolate the calf in the sight of the Lord. And the priests, the sons of Aaron, shall offer its blood, pouring it all around the altar, which is before the door of the tabernacle.
6 奉獻者剝去祭牲的皮，將犧牲切成塊。
And having pulled away the skin of the victim, they shall cut up the joints into pieces,
7 亞郎的兒子司祭們先將火放在祭壇上，火上擺上木柴；
and they shall toss fire under the altar, having arranged beforehand a stack of wood.
8 然後亞郎的兒子司祭們，將成塊的肉、頭和脂肪，擺在祭壇火上的木柴上。
And they shall lay the parts which are cut up in order upon it: namely, the head, and all the things that adjoin to the liver,
9 奉獻者應用水將內臟和小腿洗淨；司祭將這一切放在祭壇上焚燒，作為全燔祭，作為中悅上主的馨香火祭。
the intestines and feet having been washed with water. And the priest shall burn them on the altar as a holocaust and as a sweet odor to the Lord.
10 若有人獻羊作全燔祭，不論是綿羊，或是山羊，該獻一頭無瑕的公羊。
But if the offering is from the flocks, a holocaust either of sheep or goats, he shall offer a male without blemish.
11 應在上主面前，祭台的北邊將牠宰了；亞郎的兒子司祭們，應將血灑在祭壇的四週。
And he shall immolate it at the side of the altar which looks out toward the north, in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, the sons of Aaron shall pour its blood upon the altar all around.
12 然後奉獻者應將祭牲切成塊，司祭將成塊的肉、頭和脂肪，擺在祭壇火上的木柴上。
And they shall divide the limbs, the head, and everything that adjoins to the liver. And they shall place them on the wood, under which the fire is to be thrown.
13 那人應用水將內臟和小腿洗淨；司祭將這一切放在祭壇上焚燒，作為全燔祭，作為中悅上主的馨香火祭。
Yet truly, the intestines and the feet they shall wash with water. And the priest, having offered everything, shall burn it upon the altar as a holocaust and as a most sweet odor to the Lord.
14 若有人給上主獻飛禽作全燔祭，該獻班鳩或雛鴿作祭品。
But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord is of birds, either of turtledoves, or young pigeons,
15 司祭應將牠帶到祭壇前，扭斷他的頭，放在祭壇上焚燒；先把牠的血靠在祭壇的旁邊擠盡，
the priest shall offer it at the altar: and twisting back the neck with the head, and also rupturing the place of the wound, he shall make the blood run down over the edge of the altar.
16 然後那人將嗉囊和羽毛拔去，丟在祭壇東邊倒灰的地方。
Yet truly, the craw of the throat and the feathers he shall cast near the altar at the eastern section, in the place where the ashes are usually poured out.
17 然後司祭將犧牲由兩翼的中間撕開，但不可分離；放在祭壇上焚燒，作為全燔祭，作為中悅上主的馨香火祭。
And he shall break its wing joints, but he shall neither cut, nor divide it with metal, and he shall burn it upon the altar, placing fire under the wood. It is a holocaust and an oblation of a most sweet odor to the Lord.
