< 利未記 1 >
The Lord called Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, 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。
“Go and speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you present an offering to the Lord, you may bring as your offering an animal from the herd of cattle or the flock of sheep or goats.
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 your offering is a burnt offering from a herd of cattle, you must offer a male without any defects. Bring it to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting so it can be accepted before 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。
Put your hand on the head of the burnt offering, so it can be accepted on your behalf to make you right.
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。
You are to kill the bull in the Lord's presence, and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Then you are to skin the burnt offering and cut it 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;
The sons of Aaron the priest shall start a fire on the altar and put wood on it.
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。
Then the priests shall carefully place the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the wood burning on the altar.
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。
You shall wash the insides and legs with water, and the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering, to be accepted by 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。
If your offering is a burnt offering from a flock, either sheep or goats, you must offer a male without any defects.
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。
You are to kill it on the north side of the altar in the Lord's presence, and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar.
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。
Then you are to cut it into pieces, and the priest shall carefully place the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the wood burning on the altar.
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。
You shall wash the insides and legs with water, and the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering, to be accepted by 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。
If your offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, you are to offer a turtledove or a young pigeon.
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 take it to the altar, twist off its head, and burn it on the altar. Its blood shall be drained out on the side 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。
He must remove the crop and the feathers, and throw them to the east side of the altar into the ash pile.
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。
He shall tear it open by its wings, but not completely apart. The priest is to burn it on the altar on the burning wood. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, to be accepted by the Lord.
