Leviticus 2
1 Anima cum obtulerit oblationem sacrificii Domino, simila erit eius oblatio. fundetque super eam oleum, et ponet thus,
‘If you bring to Yahweh an offering of grain, it must consist of finely-ground flour. You must pour olive oil on it, and put some incense on it,
2 ac deferet ad filios Aaron sacerdotes: quorum unus tollet pugillum plenum similæ et olei, ac totum thus, et ponet memoriale super altare in odorem suavissimum Domino.
and take it to one of the priests. The priest will take a handful of the flour and the oil with the incense and burn it on the altar. That part will symbolize [that all of the offering truly belongs to Yahweh]. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.
3 quod autem reliquum fuerit de sacrificio, erit Aaron et filiorum eius, Sanctum sanctorum de oblationibus Domini.
The part of that offering that is not burned will belong to Aaron and his sons. It is a very holy part of the offerings that are given to Yahweh by [burning them] in a fire.
4 Cum autem obtuleris sacrificium coctum in clibano: de simila, panes scilicet absque fermento, conspersos oleo, et lagana azyma oleo lita.
‘If you bring an offering that is made from grain, something that is baked in an oven, it must be made from finely-ground flour. You may bring loaves made from flour mixed with olive oil but without yeast, or you may bring wafers with olive oil smeared on them, but also made without yeast.
5 Si oblatio tua fuerit de sartagine, similæ conspersæ oleo et absque fermento,
If your offering is cooked (on a griddle/in a shallow pan), it must be made from finely-ground flour mixed with olive oil and without yeast.
6 divides eam minutatim, et fundes super eam oleum.
You must crumble it and pour olive oil on it. That will be your offering made from grain.
7 Sin autem de craticula fuerit sacrificium, æque simila oleo conspergetur:
If your offering that is made from grain is cooked in a pan, it must be made of finely-ground flour mixed with olive oil.
8 quam offerens Domino, trades manibus sacerdotis.
Bring to Yahweh your grain offering. Give it to the priest, and he will take it to the altar.
9 Qui cum obtulerit eam, tollet memoriale de sacrificio, et adolebit super altare in odorem suavitatis Domino,
He will take a part of it that will symbolize that all the offering belongs to Yahweh. He will burn that part on the altar, and the aroma as it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.
10 quidquid autem reliquum est, erit Aaron, et filiorum eius, Sanctum sanctorum de oblationibus Domini.
The part that is not burned will belong to Aaron and his sons. It is a very holy part of the offerings given to Yahweh by [burning them] in a fire.
11 Omnis oblatio, quæ offeretur Domino, absque fermento fiet, nec quidquam fermenti ac mellis adolebitur in sacrificio Domino.
‘Every offering that is made from grain and that you bring to Yahweh must be made without yeast, because you must not put any yeast or honey in any offering to Yahweh that is burned [on the altar].
12 Primitias tantum eorum offeretis ac munera: super altare vero non imponentur in odorem suavitatis.
You may bring to Yahweh an offering of the first part of your harvest, but that is not to be burned on the altar to produce an aroma that will be pleasing to Yahweh.
13 Quidquid obtuleris sacrificii, sale condies, nec auferes sal fœderis Dei tui de sacrificio tuo. In omni oblatione tua offeres sal.
Put salt on all your offerings that are made from grain. The salt represents the agreement that your God [made with] you, so be sure that you do not forget to put salt on those offerings.
14 Si autem obtuleris munus primarum frugum tuarum Domino de spicis adhuc virentibus, torrebis igni, et confringes in morem farris, et sic offeres primitias tuas Domino,
‘If you bring to Yahweh an offering of the first part of your harvest of grain, offer some new grain that has been crushed and roasted in a fire.
15 fundens supra oleum, et thus imponens, quia oblatio Domini est.
Put olive oil and incense on it, and that will be your offering made from grain.
16 de qua adolebit sacerdos in memoriam muneris partem farris fracti, et olei, ac totum thus.
The priest will take a part of the flour and oil along with the incense. [That will symbolize that all the offering truly belongs to Yahweh]. He will burn that part on the altar, to be an offering given to Yahweh by [burning it] in a fire.’”
