Leviticus 1
1 Vocavit autem Moysen, et locutus est ei Dominus de tabernaculo testimonii, dicens:
The LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the Tent of Meeting, saying,
2 Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Homo, qui obtulerit ex vobis hostiam Domino de pecoribus, id est, de bobus et ovibus offerens victimas,
"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When anyone of you offers an offering to the LORD, you shall offer your offering of the livestock, from the herd and from the flock.
3 si holocaustum fuerit eius oblatio, ac de armento; masculum immaculatum offeret ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii, ad placandum sibi Dominum:
"'If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish. He shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, that he may be accepted before the LORD.
4 ponetque manum super caput hostiæ, et acceptabilis erit, atque in expiationem eius proficiens.
He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
5 immolabitque vitulum coram Domino, et offerent filii Aaron sacerdotes sanguinem eius, fundentes per altaris circuitum, quod est ante ostium tabernaculi.
And he shall kill the bull before the LORD. Aaron's sons, the cohanim, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
6 detractaque pelle hostiæ, artus in frusta concident,
And he shall skin the burnt offering, and cut it into pieces.
7 et subiicient in altari ignem, strue lignorum ante composita:
The sons of Aaron the cohen shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire;
8 et membra quæ sunt cæsa, desuper ordinantes, caput videlicet, et cuncta quæ adhærent iecori,
and Aaron's sons, the cohanim, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar;
9 intestinis et pedibus lotis aqua: adolebitque ea sacerdos super altare in holocaustum et suavem odorem Domino.
but its entrails and its legs he shall wash with water. The cohen shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
10 Quod si de pecoribus oblatio est, de ovibus sive de capris holocaustum, masculum absque macula offeret:
"'If his offering is from the flock, from the sheep, or from the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer a male without blemish.
11 immolabitque ad latus altaris, quod respicit ad Aquilonem, coram Domino: sanguinem vero illius fundent super altare filii Aaron per circuitum:
He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the LORD. Aaron's sons, the cohanim, shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.
12 dividentque membra, caput, et omnia quæ adhærent iecori: et ponent super ligna, quibus subiiciendus est ignis:
He shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat. The cohen shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar,
13 intestina vero et pedes lavabunt aqua. Et oblata omnia adolebit sacerdos super altare in holocaustum et odorem suavissimum Domino.
but the entrails and the legs he shall wash with water. The cohen shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
14 Si autem de avibus, holocausti oblatio fuerit Domino, de turturibus, aut pullis columbæ,
"'If his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall offer his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
15 offeret eam sacerdos ad altare: et retorto ad collum capite, ac rupto vulneris loco, decurrere faciet sanguinem super crepidinem altaris:
The cohen shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar;
16 vesiculam vero gutturis, et plumas proiiciet prope altare ad orientalem plagam, in loco in quo cineres effundi solent,
and he shall take away its crop with its filth, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes.
17 confringetque ascellas eius, et non secabit, neque ferro dividet eam, et adolebit super altare, lignis igne supposito. Holocaustum est et oblatio suavissimi odoris Domino.
He shall tear it by its wings, but shall not divide it apart. The cohen shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
