Leviticus 8
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
The Lord told Moses,
2 Tolle Aaron cum filiis suis, vestes eorum, et unctionis oleum, vitulum pro peccato, duos arietes, canistrum cum azymis:
“Go with Aaron and his sons, and take their priestly clothes, anointing oil, the bull of the sin offering, two rams, and the basket of bread made without yeast,
3 et congregabis omnem cœtum ad ostium tabernaculi.
and have everyone assemble at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.”
4 Fecit Moyses ut Dominus imperaverat. Congregataque omni turba ante fores tabernaculi,
Moses did as the Lord instructed him, and everyone gathered at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
5 ait: Iste est sermo, quem jussit Dominus fieri.
Moses told them, “The following is what the Lord has ordered to be done.”
6 Statimque obtulit Aaron et filios ejus. Cumque lavisset eos,
Moses had Aaron and his sons come forward, and he washed them with water.
7 vestivit pontificem subucula linea, accingens eum balteo, et induens eum tunica hyacinthina, et desuper humerale imposuit,
He dressed Aaron with the tunic, tied the sash around him, put the robe on him and then the ephod. He tied the waistband of the ephod around him, fastening it to him.
8 quod astringens cingulo aptavit rationali, in quo erat Doctrina et Veritas.
Then Moses attached the breastpiece to Aaron and put the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece.
9 Cidari quoque texit caput: et super eam, contra frontem, posuit laminam auream consecratam in sanctificatione, sicut præceperat ei Dominus.
He put the turban on Aaron's head and placed the gold plate, the holy crown, on the front of the turban, as the Lord had instructed him to do.
10 Tulit et unctionis oleum, quo linivit tabernaculum cum omni supellectili sua.
Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the Tabernacle and everything in it to dedicate it all.
11 Cumque sanctificans aspersisset altare septem vicibus, unxit illud, et omnia vasa ejus, labrumque cum basi sua sanctificavit oleo.
He sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times to anoint it and all its utensils, as well as the basin with its stand to dedicate them.
12 Quod fundens super caput Aaron, unxit eum, et consecravit:
Moses poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head to anoint him and to dedicate him.
13 filios quoque ejus oblatos vestivit tunicis lineis, et cinxit balteis, imposuitque mitras, ut jusserat Dominus.
Then Moses had Aaron's sons come forward, dressed them tunics in them, tied sashes around them, and wrapped headbands on them, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
14 Obtulit et vitulum pro peccato: cumque super caput ejus posuisset Aaron et filii ejus manus suas,
Moses brought the bull over for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.
15 immolavit eum, hauriens sanguinem, et tincto digito, tetigit cornua altaris per gyrum: quo expiato et sanctificato, fudit reliquum sanguinem ad fundamenta ejus.
Moses killed the bull and took some of the blood. He used his finger to put the blood on all four horns of the altar to dedicate it and purify it. He poured out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar, and consecrated the altar so that it could be used to make people right.
16 Adipem vero qui erat super vitalia, et reticulum jecoris, duosque renunculos, cum arvinulis suis, adolevit super altare:
Moses took all the fat that covers the insides, the best part of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them, burned all of it on the altar.
17 vitulum cum pelle, et carnibus, et fimo, cremans extra castra, sicut præceperat Dominus.
But the rest of the bull—the skin, the meat, and the waste he burned outside the camp, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
18 Obtulit et arietem in holocaustum: super cujus caput cum imposuissent Aaron et filii ejus manus suas,
Moses brought the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.
19 immolavit eum, et fudit sanguinem ejus per circuitum altaris.
Moses killed the ram and sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.
20 Ipsumque arietem in frusta concidens, caput ejus, et artus, et adipem adolevit igni,
He divided the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces, and the fat.
21 lotis prius intestinis et pedibus: totumque simul arietem incendit super altare, eo quod esset holocaustum suavissimi odoris Domino, sicut præceperat ei.
He washed the insides and legs with water and burned the whole ram on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering to be accepted by the Lord, as the Lord had ordered Moses to do.
22 Obtulit et arietem secundum in consecratione sacerdotum, posueruntque super caput ejus Aaron et filii ejus manus suas:
Moses brought the second ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.
23 quem cum immolasset Moyses, sumens de sanguine ejus, tetigit extremum auriculæ dextræ Aaron, et pollicem manus ejus dextræ, similiter et pedis.
Moses killed the ram and took some of its blood. He put it on Aaron's right earlobe, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
24 Obtulit et filios Aaron: cumque de sanguine arietis immolati tetigisset extremum auriculæ singulorum dextræ, et pollices manus ac pedis dextri, reliquum fudit super altare per circuitum:
Then Moses had Aaron and his sons come forward and put some of the blood on their right earlobes, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Then he sprinkled blood on all sides of the altar.
25 adipem vero, et caudam, omnemque pinguedinem quæ operit intestina, reticulumque jecoris, et duos renes cum adipibus suis et armo dextro separavit.
Moses took the fat, including the fat tail, all the fat on the insides, the best part of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them Moses took the fat—together with the right thigh.
26 Tollens autem de canistro azymorum, quod erat coram Domino, panem absque fermento, et collyridam conspersam oleo, laganumque, posuit super adipes, et armum dextrum,
He took one loaf of bread without yeast, one loaf made with olive oil, and one wafer from the basket of bread without yeast that was in the presence of the Lord. He placed them on top of the portions of fat and on the right thigh.
27 tradens simul omnia Aaron et filiis ejus. Qui postquam levaverunt ea coram Domino,
Then he gave them to Aaron and his sons, and waved them before the Lord as a wave offering.
28 rursum suscepta de manibus eorum, adolevit super altare holocausti, eo quod consecrationis esset oblatio, in odorem suavitatis, sacrificii Domino.
After this Moses took them back and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering, a food offering to be accepted by the Lord.
29 Tulitque pectusculum, elevans illud coram Domino, de ariete consecrationis in partem suam, sicut præceperat ei Dominus.
Moses then took the breast, his share of the ordination ram, and waved it before the Lord as a wave offering, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
30 Assumensque unguentum, et sanguinem qui erat in altari, aspersit super Aaron et vestimenta ejus, et super filios illius ac vestes eorum.
Moses then took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood from the altar. He sprinkled both of them on the clothes of Aaron and his sons. This is how he dedicated he dedicated the clothes of Aaron and his sons.
31 Cumque sanctificasset eos in vestitu suo, præcepit eis, dicens: Coquite carnes ante fores tabernaculi, et ibi comedite eas; panes quoque consecrationis edite, qui positi sunt in canistro, sicut præcepit mihi Dominus, dicens: Aaron et filii ejus comedent eos:
Moses told Aaron and his sons, “You are to boil the meat at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, and then eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of offerings for the ordination, as I ordered: ‘It is for Aaron and his sons to eat.’
32 quidquid autem reliquum fuerit de carne et panibus, ignis absumet.
Afterwards you must burn what's left over of the meat and bread.
33 De ostio quoque tabernaculi non exibitis septem diebus, usque ad diem quo complebitur tempus consecrationis vestræ; septem enim diebus finitur consecratio:
You are not to leave the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for seven days until the ordination ceremony is completed, because your ordination will take seven days.
34 sicut et impræsentiarum factum est, ut ritus sacrificii compleretur.
What was done today was ordered by the Lord as a means of making you right.
35 Die ac nocte manebitis in tabernaculo observantes custodias Domini, ne moriamini: sic enim mihi præceptum est.
You must stay at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for seven days, day and night, and follow the Lord's commands so that you will not die, for this is what I have been ordered to do.”
36 Feceruntque Aaron et filii ejus cuncta quæ locutus est Dominus per manum Moysi.
Aaron and his sons did everything that the Lord had ordered through Moses.
