Leviticus 1

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

AND the Lord called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, 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, If any man of you bring an offering unto the Lord, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even 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 sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord.

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

And he shall put his hand upon 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 kill the bullock before the Lord: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

6 detractaque pelle hostiae, artus in frusta concident,

And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.

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

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

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

And the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:

9 intestinis et pedibus lotis aqua: adolebitque ea sacerdos super altare in holocaustum et suavem odorem Domino.

But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.

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 flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring 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 kill it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.

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

And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:

13 intestina vero et pedes lavabunt aqua. Et oblata omnia adolebit sacerdos super altare in holocaustum et odorem suavissimum Domino.

But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.

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

And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the Lord be of fowls, then he shall bring 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:

And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung 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 pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by 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 cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
