< Leviticus 9 >

1 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel,
到了第八天,梅瑟召集亞郎和他的兒子以及以色列的長老,
2 and Moses said to Aaron, Take to yourself a young calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and a ram for a whole burnt offering, unblemished, and offer them before the Lord.
然後對亞郎說:「你牽一條公牛贖來,作為贖罪祭,一隻公綿羊來,作為全燔祭,都應是無瑕的,牽到上主前。」
3 And speak to the elders of Israel, saying, Take one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and a young calf, and a lamb of a year old for a whole burnt offering, spotless,
又吩附以色列子民說:「你們應牽一隻公山羊來,作為贖罪祭;一頭公牛贖和一隻一歲的公羔羊來,都應是無瑕的,作為全燔祭;
4 and a calf and a ram for a peace offering before the Lord, and fine flour mingled with oil, for today the Lord will appear among you.
再牽一頭公牛和一隻公綿羊來,作為和平祭,獻在上主面前;再帶些油調的素祭祭品來,因為今天上主要顯現給你們。」
5 And they took as Moses commanded them before the tabernacle of witness, and all the congregation drew near, and they stood before the Lord.
他們遂將梅瑟所吩附的,都帶到會幕前;全會眾都前來,站在上主面前。
6 And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord has spoken; do [it], and the glory of the Lord shall appear among you.
梅瑟遂說:「這是上主命你們做的事,好使上主的榮耀顯現給你們。」
7 And Moses said to Aaron, Draw near to the altar, and offer your sin-offering, and your whole burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself, and for your house; and offer the gifts of the people, and make atonement for them, as the Lord commanded Moses.
以後,梅瑟對亞郎說:「你走近祭壇,奉獻你的贖罪祭和全燔祭,為你自己和你的家族贖罪;然後奉獻人民的祭品,為他們贖罪,如上主所吩附的。」
8 And Aaron drew near to the altar, and killed the calf of his sin-offering.
亞郎於是走近祭壇,宰殺了那為自己作贖祭的公牛贖。
9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he dipped his finger into the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and he poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar.
亞郎的兒子將血遞給他,他把手指浸在血裏,抹在祭壇的四角上,剩下的血都倒在祭壇腳旁。
10 And he offered up on the altar the fat and the kidneys and the lobe of the liver of the sin-offering, according as the Lord commanded Moses.
贖罪祭犧牲的脂肪、兩腎和肝葉,都放在祭壇上焚燒,照上主對梅瑟的吩附。
11 And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire outside of the camp.
至於肉和皮,都在營外用火燒了。
12 And he killed the whole burnt offering; and the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he poured it on the altar round about.
然後亞郎宰殺了全燔祭犧牲,亞郎的兒子將血遞給他,他將血灑在祭壇四週。
13 And they brought the whole burnt offering, according to its pieces; them and the head he put upon the altar.
以後,他們將切成塊的全燔祭犧牲和頭遞給他,他就放在祭壇上焚燒。
14 And he washed the belly and the feet with water, and he put them on the whole burnt offering on the altar.
內臟和腿洗淨後,也放在祭壇上同全燔祭犧牲一起焚燒。
15 And he brought the gift of the people, and took the goat of the sin-offering of the people, and killed it, and purified it as also the first.
隨後他奉獻了人民的祭品:將那為贖罪祭的公山羊牽來,宰殺了,獻作贖罪祭,如前一犧牲一樣。
16 And he brought the whole burnt offering, and offered it in due form.
又奉獻了全燔祭,全按禮儀進行;
17 And he brought the sacrifice and filled his hands with it, and laid it on the altar, besides the morning whole burnt offering.
又奉獻了素祭,由其中取了一滿把,放在祭壇上焚燒,這是早晨全燔祭以外的祭獻。
18 And he killed the calf, and the ram of the sacrifice of peace-offering of the people; and the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he poured it out on the altar round about.
最後,他宰殺了為人民作和平祭的公牛和公綿羊;亞郎的兒子將血遞給他,他就將血灑在祭壇四週。
19 And [he took] the fat of the calf, and the hind quarters of the ram, and the fat covering the belly, and the two kidneys, and the fat upon them, and the caul on the liver.
至於牛羊的脂肪、肥尾、遮蓋內臟的脂肪、兩腎和肝葉,
20 And he put the fat on the breasts, and offered the fat on the altar.
他們都放在犧牲的胸脯上;亞郎遂將脂肪放在祭壇上焚燒,
21 And Aaron separated the breast and the right shoulder as a choice-offering before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
胸脯和右後腿,拿來在上主前行了奉獻的搖禮,照梅瑟所吩附的。
22 And Aaron lifted up his hands on the people and blessed them; and after he had offered the sin-offering, and the whole burnt offerings, and the peace-offerings, he came down.
以後亞郎的人民舉起手來,祝福了他們。當他獻完了贖罪祭、全燔祭及和平祭以後,就由祭壇上下來了。
23 And Moses and Aaron entered into the tabernacle of witness. And they came out and blessed all the people, and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.
以後,梅瑟和亞郎走進了會幕,兩人出來,祝福百姓時,上主的榮耀顯現給全體百姓。
24 And fire came forth from the Lord, and devoured the offerings on the altar, both the whole burnt offerings and the fat; and all the people saw, and were amazed, and fell upon their faces.
由上主前出來了火,吞噬了祭壇上的全燔祭祭品和脂肪。全體百姓見了,齊聲歡呼,俯伏在地。
