< Leviticus 1 >
1 Then the LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying,
Vocavit autem Moysen, et locutus est ei Dominus de tabernaculo testimonii, dicens:
2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any of you brings an offering to the LORD, you may bring as your offering an animal from the herd or the flock.
Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Homo, qui obtulerit ex vobis hostiam Domino de pecoribus, id est, de bobus et ovibus offerens victimas,
3 If one’s offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to present an unblemished male. He must bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for its acceptance before the LORD.
si holocaustum fuerit eius oblatio, ac de armento; masculum immaculatum offeret ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii, ad placandum sibi Dominum:
4 He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, so it can be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.
ponetque manum super caput hostiæ, et acceptabilis erit, atque in expiationem eius proficiens.
5 And he shall slaughter the young bull before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests are to present the blood and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
immolabitque vitulum coram Domino, et offerent filii Aaron sacerdotes sanguinem eius, fundentes per altaris circuitum, quod est ante ostium tabernaculi.
6 Next, he is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.
detractaque pelle hostiæ, artus in frusta concident,
7 The sons of Aaron the priest shall put a fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.
et subiicient in altari ignem, strue lignorum ante composita:
8 Then Aaron’s sons the priests are to arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, atop the burning wood on the altar.
et membra quæ sunt cæsa, desuper ordinantes, caput videlicet, et cuncta quæ adhærent iecori,
9 The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
intestinis et pedibus lotis aqua: adolebitque ea sacerdos super altare in holocaustum et suavem odorem Domino.
10 If, however, one’s offering is a burnt offering from the flock—from the sheep or goats—he is to present an unblemished male.
Quod si de pecoribus oblatio est, de ovibus sive de capris holocaustum, masculum absque macula offeret:
11 He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests are to sprinkle its blood against the altar on all sides.
immolabitque ad latus altaris, quod respicit ad Aquilonem, coram Domino: sanguinem vero illius fundent super altare filii Aaron per circuitum:
12 He is to cut the animal into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and fat, atop the burning wood that is on the altar.
dividentque membra, caput, et omnia quæ adhærent iecori: et ponent super ligna, quibus subiiciendus est ignis:
13 The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall bring all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
intestina vero et pedes lavabunt aqua. Et oblata omnia adolebit sacerdos super altare in holocaustum et odorem suavissimum Domino.
14 If, instead, one’s offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, he is to present a turtledove or a young pigeon.
Si autem de avibus, holocausti oblatio fuerit Domino, de turturibus, aut pullis columbæ,
15 Then the priest shall bring it to the altar, twist off its head, and burn it on the altar; its blood should be drained out on the side of the altar.
offeret eam sacerdos ad altare: et retorto ad collum capite, ac rupto vulneris loco, decurrere faciet sanguinem super crepidinem altaris:
16 And he is to remove the crop with its contents and throw it to the east side of the altar, in the place for ashes.
vesiculam vero gutturis, et plumas proiiciet prope altare ad orientalem plagam, in loco in quo cineres effundi solent,
17 He shall tear it open by its wings, without dividing the bird completely. And the priest is to burn it on the altar atop the burning wood. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
confringetque ascellas eius, et non secabit, neque ferro dividet eam, et adolebit super altare, lignis igne supposito. Holocaustum est et oblatio suavissimi odoris Domino.
