Leviticus 8
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Tolle Aaron cum filiis suis, vestes eorum, et unctionis oleum, vitulum pro peccato, duos arietes, canistrum cum azymis,
Take Aaron, with his sons, their vestments, and the oil of anointing, a calf for sin, two rams, and a basket with unleavened bread,
3 et congregabis omnem coetum ad ostium tabernaculi.
and gather together all the assembly at the door of the tabernacle.
4 Fecit Moyses ut Dominus imperaverat. Congregataque omni turba ante fores tabernaculi,
And Moses did as the Lord had commanded. And when all the crowd was gathered together before the entrance of the tabernacle,
5 ait: Iste est sermo, quem iussit Dominus fieri.
he said: “This is the word that the Lord has ordered to be done.”
6 Statimque obtulit Aaron et filios eius. Cumque lavisset eos,
And immediately, he brought forward Aaron and his sons. And when he had washed them,
7 vestivit pontificem subucula linea, accingens eum balteo, et induens eum tunica hyacinthina, et desuper humerale imposuit,
he vested the high priest with the linen undergarment, wrapped him with the wide belt, and clothed him with the hyacinth tunic, and over it he imposed the ephod.
8 quod astringens cingulo aptavit rationali, in quo erat Doctrina et Veritas.
And tying it to the belt, he fitted it to the breastplate, on which was Doctrine and Truth.
9 Cidari quoque texit caput: et super eam, contra frontem, posuit laminam auream consecratam in sanctificatione, sicut praeceperat ei Dominus.
Also, he wrapped the headdress on his head, and over it, opposite the forehead, he placed the plate of gold, consecrated with sanctification, just as the Lord had instructed him.
10 Tulit et unctionis oleum, quo linivit tabernaculum cum omni supellectili sua.
He also took up the oil of anointing, with which he anointed the tabernacle, along with all of its articles.
11 Cumque sanctificans aspersisset altare septem vicibus, unxit illud, et omnia vasa eius, labrumque cum basi sua sanctificavit oleo.
And when he had sprinkled the altar seven times to sanctify it, he anointed it and all its vessels. And the washtub with its base he sanctified with the oil.
12 Quod fundens super caput Aaron, unxit eum, et consecravit:
And pouring the oil over Aaron’s head, he anointed and consecrated him.
13 filios quoque eius oblatos vestivit tunicis lineis, et cinxit balteis, imposuitque mitras, ut iusserat Dominus.
Likewise, after he had offered his sons, he vested them with linen tunics, and wrapped them with wide belts, and placed headdresses on them, just as the Lord had ordered.
14 Obtulit et vitulum pro peccato. cumque super caput eius posuisset Aaron, et filii eius manus suas,
He also offered the calf for sin. And when Aaron and his sons had placed their hands upon its head,
15 immolavit eum: hauriens sanguinem, et tincto digito, tetigit cornua altaris per gyrum. quo expiato et sanctificato, fudit reliquum sanguinem ad fundamenta eius.
he immolated it. And drawing the blood, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar all around. And when it was expiated and sanctified, he poured out the remainder of the blood at its base.
16 Adipem vero qui erat super vitalia, et reticulum iecoris, duosque renunculos, cum arvinulis suis adolevit super altare:
Yet truly, the fat which was on the vital organs, and the mesh of the liver, and the two little kidneys with their fat, he burned upon the altar.
17 vitulum cum pelle, et carnibus, et fimo, cremans extra castra, sicut praeceperat Dominus.
And the calf with the skin, and the flesh, and the dung, he burned beyond the camp, just as the Lord had instructed.
18 Obtulit et arietem in holocaustum: super cuius caput cum imposuissent Aaron et filii eius manus suas,
He also offered a ram as a holocaust. And when Aaron and his sons had imposed their hands upon its head,
19 immolavit eum, et fudit sanguinem eius per circuitum altaris.
he immolated it, and he poured out its blood around the altar.
20 Ipsumque arietem in frusta concidens, caput eius, et artus, et adipem adolevit igni,
And cutting the ram into pieces, he burned its head, and the limbs, and the fat in the fire,
21 lotis prius intestinis et pedibus. totumque simul arietem incendit super altare, eo quod esset holocaustum suavissimi odoris Domino, sicut praeceperat ei.
having first washed the intestines and the feet. And then he burned the whole of the ram upon the altar, because it was a holocaust of most sweet odor to the Lord, just as he had instructed him.
22 Obtulit et arietem secundum, in consecratione sacerdotum: posueruntque super caput eius Aaron et filii eius manus suas.
He also offered the second ram, as a consecration of priests. And Aaron and his sons placed their hands upon its head.
23 quem cum immolasset Moyses, sumens de sanguine eius, tetigit extremum auriculae dextrae Aaron, et pollicem manus eius dextrae, similiter et pedis.
And when Moses had immolated it, taking up some of its blood, he touched the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and the thumb of his right hand, and similarly also his foot.
24 Obtulit et filios Aaron. cumque de sanguine arietis immolati tetigisset extremum auriculae singulorum dextrae, et pollices manus ac pedis dextri, reliquum fudit super altare per circuitum:
He also offered the sons of Aaron. And when, from the blood of the ram which was immolated, he had touched the tip of the right ear of each one, and the thumbs of their right hands, as well as their feet, he poured out the remainder upon the altar all around.
25 adipem vero, et caudam, omnemque pinguedinem quae operit intestina, reticulumque iecoris, et duos renes cum adipibus suis, et armo dextro separavit.
Yet truly, the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that covers the intestines, and the mesh of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and the right shoulder, he separated.
26 Tollens autem de canistro azymorum, quod erat coram Domino, panem absque fermento, et collyridam conspersam oleo, laganumque posuit super adipes, et armum dextrum,
Then, taking bread without leaven from the basket of unleavened bread, which was before the Lord, and a cake sprinkled with oil, and a wafer, he placed them upon the fat and the right shoulder,
27 tradens simul omnia Aaron et filiis eius. Qui postquam levaverunt ea coram Domino,
delivering all these to Aaron and his sons. And when they had lifted them up in the sight of the Lord,
28 rursum suscepta de manibus eorum, adolevit super altare holocausti, eo quod consecrationis esset oblatio, in odorem suavitatis, sacrificii Domini.
he received them again from their hands, and he burned them upon the altar of holocaust, because it was an oblation of consecration, as a sweet odor of sacrifice to the Lord.
29 Tulitque pectusculum elevans illud coram Domino, de ariete consecrationis in partem suam, sicut praeceperat ei Dominus.
And he took his portion from the ram of consecration, and he lifted up its breast in the sight of the Lord, just as the Lord had instructed him.
30 Assumensque unguentum, et sanguinem qui erat in altari, aspersit super Aaron et vestimenta eius, et super filios illius ac vestes eorum.
And taking up the ointment, and the blood that was on the altar, he sprinkled it over Aaron and his vestments, and over his sons and their vestments.
31 Cumque sanctificasset eos in vestitu suo, praecepit eis, dicens: Coquite carnes ante fores tabernaculi, et ibi comedite eas. panes quoque consecrationis edite, qui positi sunt in canistro, sicut praecepit mihi Dominus, dicens: Aaron et filii eius comedent eos:
And when he had sanctified them with their vestments, he instructed them, saying: “Cook the flesh before the entrance of the tabernacle, and eat it there. Likewise, eat the loaves of consecration, which have been placed in the basket, just as the Lord instructed me, saying: ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat them.’
32 quidquid autem reliquum fuerit de carne et panibus, ignis absumet.
Then whatever will remain of the flesh and the loaves shall be consumed with fire.
33 De ostio quoque tabernaculi non exibitis septem diebus, usque ad diem quo complebitur tempus consecrationis vestrae. septem enim diebus finitur consecratio:
Also, you shall not exit from the door of the tabernacle for seven days, until the day on which the time of your consecration shall be completed. For in seven days the consecration is finished,
34 sicut et impraesentiarum factum est, ut ritus sacrificii compleretur.
even as it has begun at this present time, so that the rite of the sacrifice might be accomplished.
35 Die ac nocte manebitis in tabernaculo observantes custodias Domini, ne moriamini: sic enim mihi praeceptum est.
Day and night you shall remain in the tabernacle, observing the watches of the Lord, otherwise you shall die. For so it has been commanded to me.”
36 Feceruntque Aaron et filii eius cuncta quae locutus est Dominus per manum Moysi.
And Aaron and his sons did everything that the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.
