< 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 he said unto Aaron, Take thee a bull calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, 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 unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a he-goat for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;
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 an ox and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meal offering mingled with oil: for today the LORD appeareth unto 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 brought that which Moses commanded before the tent of meeting: and all the congregation drew near and 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 commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto 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 unto Aaron, Draw near unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the oblation of the people, and make atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.
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 So Aaron drew near unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
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 presented the blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base 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 but the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul from the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; 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 skin he burnt with fire without the camp.
至於肉和皮,都在營外用火燒了。
12 And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons delivered unto him the blood, and he sprinkled it upon 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 delivered the burnt offering unto him, piece by piece, and the head: and he burnt them 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 inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the 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 presented the people’s oblation, and took the goat of the sin offering which was for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as 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 presented the burnt offering, and offered it according to the ordinance.
又奉獻了全燔祭,全按禮儀進行;
17 And he presented the meal offering, and filled his hand therefrom, and burnt it upon the altar, besides the burnt offering of the morning.
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 He slew also the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron’s sons delivered unto him the blood, and he sprinkled it upon 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 the fat of the ox; and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covereth [the inwards], and the kidneys, and the caul of 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 they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon 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 the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.
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 toward the people, and blessed them; and he came down from offering the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.
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 went into the tent of meeting, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto 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 there came forth fire from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: and when all the people saw it, they shouted, and fell on 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。
