Leviticus 1

1 Vocavit autem Dominus Moysen et locutus est ei de tabernaculo testimonii, dicens:

And Jehovah 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 unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When any man of you presenteth an offering to Jehovah, ye shall present your offering of the cattle, of the herd and of 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 be a burnt-offering of the herd, he shall present it a male without blemish: at the entrance of the tent of meeting shall he present it, for his acceptance before Jehovah.

4 ponetque manus super caput hostiae, et acceptabilis erit, atque in expiationem eius proficiens.

And 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 sacerdotis sanguinem eius, fundentes per altaris circuitum, quod est ante ostium tabernaculi.

And he shall slaughter the bullock before Jehovah; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood round about on the altar that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

6 detractaque pelle hostiae, artus in frusta concident,

And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it up into its pieces.

7 et subiicient in altari ignem, strue lignorum ante composita:

And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire;

8 et membra quae sunt caesa, desuper ordinantes, caput videlicet, et cuncta quae adhaerent iecori,

and Aaron's sons, the priests, 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 inwards and its legs shall he wash in water; and the priest shall burn all on the altar, a burnt-offering, an offering by fire to Jehovah of a sweet odour.

10 Quod si de pecoribus oblatio est, de ovibus sive de capris holocaustum agnum anniculum, et absque macula offeret:

And if his offering be of the flock, of the sheep or of the goats, for a burnt-offering, he shall present it 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:

And he shall slaughter it on the side of the altar northward before Jehovah; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood on the altar round about.

12 dividentque membra, caput, et omnia quae adhaerent iecori: et ponent super ligna, quibus subiiciendus est ignis:

And he shall cut it into its pieces, and its head, and its fat; and the priest 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 inwards and the legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall present [it] all, and burn [it] on the altar: it is a burnt-offering, an offering by fire to Jehovah of a sweet odour.

14 Si autem de avibus, holocausti oblatio fuerit Domino, de turturibus, aut pullis columbae,

And if his offering to Jehovah be a burnt-offering of fowls, then he shall present his offering of turtle-doves, 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:

And the priest shall bring it near to the altar and pinch off its head and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be pressed out at 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 remove its crop with its feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east, into 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.

and he shall split it open at its wings, [but] shall not divide [it] asunder; and the priest shall burn it on the altar on the wood that is on the fire: it is a burnt-offering, an offering by fire to Jehovah of a sweet odour.
