Leviticus 3

1 [“Also tell the people], ‘When the offering that you bring to Yahweh is to maintain good fellowship [with him], you may bring a bull or a cow from your herd [of cattle], but what you present to Yahweh must be an animal that has no defects.

١ وَإِنْ قَرَّبَ أَحَدٌ ذَبِيحَةَ سَلامٍ مِنْ بَقَرٍ، ثَوْراً أَوْ عِجْلَةً، فَلْيُقَدِّمْ قُرْبَاناً لِلرَّبِّ سَلِيماً مِنْ كُلِّ عَيْبٍ،

2 You must bring the animal to the entrance to the Sacred Tent. You must lay your hands on its head. Then you must slaughter it [and drain some of its blood in a bowl]. Then one of Aaron’s sons, one of the priests, will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.

٢ فَيَضَعُ الْمُقَرِّبُ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ تَقْدِمَتِهِ وَيَذْبَحُهَا عِنْدَ بَابِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، ثُمَّ يَرُشُّ أَبْنَاءُ هَرُونَ، الْكَهَنَةُ، الدَّمَ عَلَى جَوَانِبِ الْمَذْبَحِ، الْمُحِيطَةِ بِهِ.

3 From that offering, you must offer to Yahweh, as a sacrifice that will be burned in the fire, all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal, or which is attached to them—

٣ وَيُحْرِقُ الْكَاهِنُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ مِنْ ذَبِيحَةِ السَّلامِ، جَمِيعَ شَحْمِ الأَعْضَاءِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ

4 the kidneys and the fat that is attached to them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

٤ وَالْكُلْيَتَيْنِ وَشَحْمَهُمَا الَّذِي عَلَى الْخَاصِرَتَيْنِ وَالْمَرَارَةَ.

5 Then one of the priests will burn those things on the altar, along with the other parts of the animal that will be completely burned to be an offering [to Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.

٥ فَيُوْقِدُهَا أَبْنَاءُ هَرُونَ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ، عَلَى الْمُحْرَقَةِ الَّتِي فَوْقَ حَطَبِ النَّارِ، فَتَكُونُ مُحْرَقَةً وَوَقُودَ رِضًى تَسُرُّ الرَّبَّ.

6 If that offering to maintain good fellowship with Yahweh is a sheep or a goat, it must also be an animal that has no defects.

٦ وَإِنْ قَرَّبَ ذَبِيحَةَ سَلامٍ مِنْ غَنَمٍ، ذَكَراً أَوْ أُنْثَى، فَلْيُقَدِّمْ قُرْبَاناً لِلرَّبِّ سَلِيماً مِنْ كُلِّ عَيْبٍ.

7 If you offer a lamb, you must present it to Yahweh [at the entrance to the Sacred Tent]. You must lay your hands on the lamb’s head and then slaughter it. [‘You must drain some of its blood in a bowl].

٧ وَإِنْ كَانَ الْقُرْبَانُ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ، فَلْيُقَدِّمْهُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.

8 Then one of the priests will sprinkle that blood against all sides of the altar.

٨ وَيَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ تَقْدِمَتِهِ وَيَذْبَحُهَا عِنْدَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، فَيَرُشُّ أَبْنَاءُ هَرُونَ دَمَهَا عَلَى جَوَانِبِ الْمَذْبَحِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِهِ.

9 You must dedicate these things to be a sacrifice to Yahweh that is burned: Its fat, the fat tail that you must cut off close to the backbone, and all the fat that covers the inner parts of the lamb or which is attached to them—

٩ وَيُحْرِقُ الْكَاهِنُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ مِنْ ذَبِيحَةِ السَّلامِ شَحْمَهَا، فَيَنْزِعُ كَامِلَ الأَلْيَةِ مِنْ عِنْدِ الْعُصْعُصِ وَجَمِيعَ شَحْمِ الأَعْضَاءِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ

10 the kidneys with the fat that is on them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

١٠ وَالْكُلْيَتَيْنِ وَشَحْمَهُمَا الَّذِي عَلَى الْخَاصِرَتَيْنِ، وَالْمَرَارَةَ،

11 One of the priests will burn those things on the altar to be an offering to Yahweh; [it will be as though] they will be a special food [given to Yahweh].

١١ وَيُحْرِقُهَا الْكَاهِنُ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ طَعَامَ وَقُودٍ لِلرَّبِّ.

12 ‘If your offering is a goat, you must take/present it to Yahweh.

١٢ وَإِنْ كَانَ قُرْبَانُهُ مِنَ الْمَعَزِ فَلْيُقَدِّمْهُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ،

13 You must lay your hands on its head. Then you must slaughter it in front of the Sacred Tent. Then one of Aaron’s sons will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.

١٣ فَيَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ تَقْدِمَتِهِ وَيَذْبَحُهَا عِنْدَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، فَيَرُشُّ أَبْنَاءُ هَرُونَ دَمَهَا عَلَى جَوَانِبِ الْمَذْبَحِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِهِ.

14 From that offering you must dedicate these things to be a sacrifice to Yahweh that is burned: All the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal or which is attached to them,

١٤ وَيُحْرِقُ الْكَاهِنُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ مِنْ ذَبِيحَتِهِ جَمِيعَ شَحْمِ الأَعْضَاءِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ،

15 the kidneys with the fat that is on them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

١٥ وَيَنْزِعُ كَذَلِكَ الْكُلْيَتَيْنِ وَشَحْمَهُمَا الَّذِي عَلَى الْخَاصِرَتَيْنِ وَالْمَرَارَةَ.

16 The priest will burn those things on the altar to be an offering to Yahweh; [it will be as though] they will be a special food [given to Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh. All the fat [of the animals that are sacrificed] belongs to Yahweh.

١٦ وَيُحْرِقُهَا الْكَاهِنُ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ طَعَامَ وَقُودِ رِضًى وَسُرُورٍ، فَيَكُونُ كُلُّ الشَّحْمِ لِلرَّبِّ.

17 ‘This is a command that must be obeyed by you and your descendants forever, wherever you live: You must not eat the fat or the blood [of any animal].’”

١٧ لَا تَأْكُلُوا الشَّحْمَ وَلا الدَّمَ. هَذَا فَرْضٌ دَائِمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ حَيْثُ تُقِيمُونَ، جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ».
