Levitski zakonik 1
1 Zovnu Jahve Mojsija te mu iz Šatora sastanka reče:
And the Lord called Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle of the testimony, saying:
2 “Govori Izraelcima i kaži im: 'Kad tko od vas želi prinijeti Jahvi žrtvu od stoke, prinijet će je ili od krupne ili od sitne stoke.
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man among you that shall offer to the Lord a sacrifice of the cattle, that is, offering victims of oxen and sheep,
3 Ako njegov prinos za žrtvu paljenicu bude od krupne stoke, neka prinese muško bez mane. Neka ga dovede k ulazu u Šator sastanka da pred Jahvom bude primljen.
If his offering be a holocaust, and of the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish, at the door of the testimony, to make the Lord favourable to him:
4 Neka stavi svoju ruku na glavu žrtve paljenice da mu za njegovo ispaštanje bude primljena.
And he shall put his hand upon the head of the victim, and it shall be acceptable, and help to its expiation.
5 Neka zatim zakolje junca pred Jahvom. A Aronovi sinovi, svećenici, neka prinesu krv. Neka njome zapljusnu sve strane žrtvenika koji stoji pred ulazom u Šator sastanka.
And he shall immolate the calf before the Lord, and the priests the sons of Aaron shall offer the blood thereof, pouring it round about the altar, which is before the door of the tabernacle.
6 Potom neka se žrtva sadre i rasiječe na dijelove.
And when they have flayed the victim, they shall cut the joints into pieces,
7 Neka sinovi Aronovi, svećenici, nalože vatru na žrtveniku i na vatru metnu drva.
And shall put fire on the altar, having before laid in order a pile of wood:
8 Neka zatim sinovi Aronovi, svećenici, naslažu dijelove, s glavom i lojem, na drva što su na vatri na žrtveniku.
And they shall lay the parts that are cut out in order thereupon, to wit, the head, and all things that cleave to the liver,
9 Drobina i noge neka se operu u vodi. A onda neka svećenik sve sažeže u kad na žrtveniku. To je žrtva paljenica, žrtva paljena Jahvi na ugodan miris.'
The entrails and feet being washed with water: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar for a holocaust, and a sweet savour to the Lord.
10 Ako bi htio prinijeti za žrtvu paljenicu od sitne stoke - od ovaca ili koza - neka prinese muško bez mane.
And if the offering be of the hocks, a holocaust of sheep or of goats, he shall offer a male without blemish:
11 Neka ga zakolje pred Jahvom, na žrtveniku sa sjeverne strane. Neka zatim Aronovi sinovi, svećenici, zapljusnu žrtvenik krvlju sa svih strana.
And he shall immolate it at the side of the altar that looketh to the north, before the Lord: but the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood thereof upon the altar round about:
12 Potom neka je rasijeku na dijelove, a svećenik neka ih, s glavom i lojem, naslaže na drva što su na vatri na žrtveniku.
And they shall divide the joints, the head, and all that cleave to the liver: and shall lay them upon the wood, under which the fire is to be put:
13 Drobina i noge neka se operu u vodi. Onda svećenik neka sve prinese i na žrtveniku sažeže. To je žrtva paljenica, žrtva paljena Jahvi na ugodan miris.
But the entrails and the feet they shall wash with water. And the priest shall offer it all and burn it all upon the altar for a holocaust, and most sweet savour to the Lord.
14 Ako bi hto prinijeti Jahvi ptice kao žrtvu paljenicu, neka onda prinese grlicu ili golubića.
But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord be of birds, of turtles, or of young pigeons,
15 Neka ga svećenik prinese k žrtveniku i, zavrnuvši mu vratom, otkine glavu i na žrtveniku sažeže. Zatim neka mu krv iscijedi žrtveniku sa strane.
The priest shall offer it at the altar: and twisting back the neck, and breaking the place of the wound, he shall make the blood run down upon the brim of the altar.
16 Neka mu gušu i perje ukloni i pobaca ih na istočnu stranu žrtvenika, na mjesto za otpatke.
But the crop of the throat, and the feathers he shall cast beside the altar at the east side, in the place where the ashes are wont to be poured out,
17 Neka ga raspori duž obaju krila, ali neka ih ne rastavlja. Onda neka ga svećenik na žrtveniku sažeže na drvima što su na vatri. To je žrtva paljenica, žrtva paljena Jahvi na ugodan miris.”
And he shall break the pinions thereof, and shall not cut, nor divide it with a knife, and shall burn it upon the altar, putting fire under the wood. It is a holocaust and oblation of most sweet savour to the Lord.
