Leviticus 1
1 And the voice of the Lord came to Moses out of the Tent of meeting, saying,
Yavé llamó a Moisés y le habló desde el Tabernáculo de Reunión:
2 Give these orders to the children of Israel: When anyone of you makes an offering to the Lord, you are to take it from the cattle, from the herd or from the flock.
Habla a los hijos de Israel: Cuando alguno de ustedes presente un holocaustoa Yavé, ofrecerá su ofrenda de animales del ganado vacuno o del rebaño.
3 If the offering is a burned offering of the herd, let him give a male without a mark: he is to give it at the door of the Tent of meeting so that he may be pleasing to the Lord.
Si su ofrenda es un holocausto del ganado vacuno, ofrecerá un macho sin defecto. Lo llevará voluntariamente a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión ante Yavé.
4 And he is to put his hand on the head of the burned offering and it will be taken for him, to take away his sin.
Pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza del animal, y le será aceptado para hacer sacrificio que apacigua por él.
5 And the ox is to be put to death before the Lord: then Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and put some of it on and round the altar which is at the door of the Tent of meeting.
Luego deberá degollar el becerro ante Yavé. Los sacerdotes hijos de Aarón ofrecerán la sangre y la rociarán alrededor sobre el altar situado en la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión.
6 And the burned offering is to be skinned and cut up into its parts.
Después degollará el animal y lo partirá en trozos.
7 And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put fire on the altar and put the wood in order on the fire:
Los sacerdotes hijos de Aarón encenderán fuego sobre el altar y acomodarán leña sobre el fuego.
8 And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put the parts, the head and the fat, in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar:
Seguidamente los sacerdotes hijos de Aarón dispondrán los trozos, la cabeza y la grasa sobre la leña que está encima del fuego del altar.
9 But its inside parts and its legs are to be washed with water, and it will all be burned on the altar by the priest for a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.
Después de lavar en agua sus órganos internos y sus patas, el sacerdote dejará consumir todo sobre el altar. Es un holocausto, un sacrificio quemado de olor que apacigua a Yavé.
10 And if his offering is of the flock, a burned offering of sheep or goats, let him give a male without a mark.
Si su ofrenda es del rebaño, de las ovejas o de las cabras para holocausto, ofrecerá un macho sin defecto.
11 And he is to put it to death on the north side of the altar before the Lord: and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some of the blood on and round the altar.
Lo degollará delante de Yavé sobre el lado norte del altar, y los sacerdotes hijos de Aarón rociarán la sangre de aquél sobre el altar, por todos los lados.
12 And the offering is to be cut into its parts, with its head and its fat; and the priest is to put them in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar:
Después lo cortarán en trozos, los cuales, con su cabeza y su grasa, el sacerdote pondrá encima de la leña que está sobre el fuego encima del altar.
13 But the inside parts and the legs are to be washed with water; and the priest will make an offering of all of it, burning it on the altar: it is a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.
Los órganos internos y las patas se lavarán en agua. El sacerdote ofrecerá todo y lo dejará consumir sobre el altar. Es un holocausto, sacrificio quemado de olor que apacigua a Yavé.
14 And if his offering to the Lord is a burned offering of birds, then he is to make his offering of doves or of young pigeons.
Si su ofrenda para Yavé es un holocausto de aves, presentará tórtolas o palominos como ofrenda.
15 And the priest is to take it to the altar, and after its head has been twisted off, it is to be burned on the altar, and its blood drained out on the side of the altar:
El sacerdote la acercará al altar, y de una uñada le cortará la cabeza, la cual dejará consumir sobre el altar. Después exprimirá su sangre sobre la pared del altar,
16 And he is to take away its stomach, with its feathers, and put it down by the east side of the altar, where the burned waste is put:
le quitará el buche y las plumas, y los echará en el lugar de las cenizas por el lado oriental del altar.
17 And let it be broken open at the wings, but not cut in two; and let it be burned on the altar by the priest on the wood which is on the fire; it is a burned offering; an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.
La partirá por sus alas, pero no la dividirá en dos. El sacerdote dejará que se consuma sobre el altar encima de la leña, sobre el fuego. Es un holocausto, sacrificio quemado de olor que apacigua a Yavé.
