< Leviticus 1 >

1 AND the Lord called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
上主叫了梅瑟來,由會幕中訓示他說:
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the Lord, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.
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。
3 If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord.
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;
4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
先按手在全燔祭的頭上,使祭牲蒙受納悅,代自己贖罪。
5 And he shall kill the bullock before the Lord: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
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。
6 And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.
奉獻者剝去祭牲的皮,將犧牲切成塊。
7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:
亞郎的兒子司祭們先將火放在祭壇上,火上擺上木柴;
8 And the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
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。
9 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
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。
10 And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.
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。
11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.
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。
12 And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
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。
13 But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
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。
14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the Lord be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
若有人給上主獻飛禽作全燔祭,該獻班鳩或雛鴿作祭品。
15 And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
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,
16 And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
然後那人將嗉囊和羽毛拔去,丟在祭壇東邊倒灰的地方。
17 And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
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。
