利未記 1
1 上主叫了梅瑟來，由會幕中訓示他說：
While Moses/I was [standing near the entrance] to the Sacred Tent, Yahweh called to him/me from inside the tent. He said to Moses/me,
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。
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘When any of you brings an offering to Yahweh, bring one of your sheep or goats or cattle.
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 what you are offering is a bull that will be completely burned [on the altar], it must not have any defects. You must take it to the entrance to the Sacred Tent, in order that it will be acceptable to Yahweh.
4 先按手在全燔祭的頭上，使祭牲蒙受納悅，代自己贖罪。
You must lay your hands on the head of the bull. When you do that, Yahweh will accept [its death in your place] to forgive/pardon you for the sins that you have committed.
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 must slaughter the bull in front of Yahweh. Then Aaron’s sons, who are priests, will bring the blood and sprinkle it against all sides of the altar near the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
6 奉獻者剝去祭牲的皮，將犧牲切成塊。
You must remove the skin of the animal and cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the bull.
7 亞郎的兒子司祭們先將火放在祭壇上，火上擺上木柴；
Then Aaron’s sons will put wood on the altar and light a fire.
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 they will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.
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。
Then one of the priests will completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.
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 you are offering a sheep or a goat, it must be a male without any defect.
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 must slaughter it in front of Yahweh, on the north side of the altar, [and drain all the blood into a bowl]. Then Aaron’s sons will sprinkle the blood against 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。
You must cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the animal. Then the priests will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.
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。
Then one of the priests will take all of it and completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma as it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.
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 what you are offering to Yahweh is a bird, you must offer a dove 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 will take it to the altar and wring/twist off its head. Then he will burn the head on the altar. He will drain out the bird’s blood onto 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。
Then he will remove the bird’s (craw/food-grinding pouch) and what is inside it, and throw it on the east side of the altar, where the ashes are thrown.
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。
Then he will grasp the bird’s wings and partially tear the bird open. Then he will burn it completely in the fire on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.’
