Leviticus 1

1 While Moses/I was [standing near the entrance] to the Sacred Tent, Yahweh called to him/me from inside the tent. He said to Moses/me,

Pea naʻe ui ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo folofola kiate ia mei he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻo pehē,

2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘When any of you brings an offering to Yahweh, bring one of your sheep or goats or cattle.

Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo tala kiate kinautolu, Kapau ʻoku ai ha tangata ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ʻomi ha meʻaʻofa kia Sihova, temou ʻomi hoʻomou meʻaʻofa ʻi he fanga manu, ʻio, ʻi he fanga manu lalahi, mo e fanga manu siʻi.

3 ‘If what you are offering is a bull that will be completely burned [on the altar], it must not have any defects. You must take it to the entrance to the Sacred Tent, in order that it will be acceptable to Yahweh.

Kapau ko e feilaulau tutu mei he fanga manu lalahi ʻa ʻene meʻaʻofa, tuku ke ne ʻatu ʻae manu tangata taʻehanomele, te ne ʻatu ia ʻi hono loto lelei pe ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

4 You must lay your hands on the head of the bull. When you do that, Yahweh will accept [its death in your place] to forgive/pardon you for the sins that you have committed.

Pea te ne hilifaki hono nima ki he ʻulu ʻoe feilaulau tutu; pea ʻe maʻu ia mei ai koeʻuhi ke fai ʻaki ʻae fakalelei maʻana.

5 You must slaughter the bull in front of Yahweh. Then Aaron’s sons, who are priests, will bring the blood and sprinkle it against all sides of the altar near the entrance to the Sacred Tent.

Pea ʻe tāmateʻi ʻe ia ʻae pulu tangata ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea ko e kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone, tenau ʻomi ʻae toto, pea luluku ʻae toto ʻo fakatakatakamilo ʻi he feilaulauʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

6 You must remove the skin of the animal and cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the bull.

Pea te ne fohiʻi ʻae feilaulau tutu, pea tafa ia ʻo mavahevahe.

7 Then Aaron’s sons will put wood on the altar and light a fire.

Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone ko e kau taulaʻeiki, tenau ʻai ʻae afi ki he feilaulauʻanga, pea hili totonu ʻae fefie ki he afi:

8 Then they will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.

Pea ko e kau taulaʻeiki, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone, tenau hili totonu ʻae ngaahi konga, ko e ʻulu, mo e ngako ki he fefie ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he afi ʻi he feilaulauʻanga:

9 Then one of the priests will completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.

Ka ko hono toʻotoʻonga mo hono kauvaʻe, ʻe fufuluʻaki ʻae vai: pea ʻe tutu kotoa pē ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻi he feilaulauʻanga, ko e feilaulau tutu, ko e feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi, ko e meʻa namu kakala kia Sihova.

10 ‘If you are offering a sheep or a goat, it must be a male without any defect.

Pea kapau ʻoku ʻomi mei he fanga manu siʻi ʻene meʻaʻofa, ʻi he fanga sipi, pe ʻi he fanga kosi, koeʻuhi ko e feilaulau tutu; te ne ʻomi ia ko e manu tangata taʻehanomele.

11 You must slaughter it in front of Yahweh, on the north side of the altar, [and drain all the blood into a bowl]. Then Aaron’s sons will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.

Pea te ne tāmateʻi ia ʻi he potu fakatokelau ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea ʻe lulukuʻaki hono toto ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone ʻo takatakai ʻi he funga feilaulauʻanga.

12 You must cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the animal. Then the priests will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.

Pea te ne tafa ia ki hono ngaahi konga, mo hono ʻulu mo hono ngako: pea ʻe hili totonu ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻi he fefie, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he afi ʻi he funga feilaulauʻanga:

13 Then one of the priests will take all of it and completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma as it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.

Ka ʻe fufulu ʻe ia hono toʻotoʻonga mo hono kauvaʻe ʻaki ʻae vai: pea ʻe ʻomi kotoa pē ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki, ʻo tutu ia ʻi he feilaulauʻanga: ko e feilaulau tutu ia, ko e feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi, ko e meʻa namu kakala kia Sihova.

14 ‘If what you are offering to Yahweh is a bird, you must offer a dove or a young pigeon.

Pea kapau ko ʻene feilaulau kia Sihova, ko e manupuna ki heʻene feilaulau tutu, pea te ne ʻomi ʻae kulukulu ʻe ua, pe ko e lupe mui ʻe ua.

15 The priest will take it to the altar and wring/twist off its head. Then he will burn the head on the altar. He will drain out the bird’s blood onto the side of the altar.

Pea ʻe ʻomi ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki ki he feilaulauʻanga, ʻo motuhi hono ʻulu, ʻo tutu ia ʻi he feilaulauʻanga; pea ʻe tatau hono toto ʻi he potu ʻoe feilaulauʻanga:

16 Then he will remove the bird’s (craw/food-grinding pouch) and what is inside it, and throw it on the east side of the altar, where the ashes are thrown.

Pea te ne toʻo mai hono ngākau mo hono fulufulu, ʻo lī ia ki he potu hopoʻangalaʻā ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo ofi ki he potu ʻoe efuefu.

17 Then he will grasp the bird’s wings and partially tear the bird open. Then he will burn it completely in the fire on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.’

Pea te ne fahiua ia mo hono kapakau, kaeʻoua naʻa motuua ia; pea ʻe tutu ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻi he feilaulauʻanga, ki he fefie ʻoku ʻi he afi; ko e feilaulau tutu ia, ko e feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi, ko e meʻa namu kakala kia Sihova.
