Leviticus 9

1 Facto autem octavo die, vocavit Moyses Aaron et filios eius, ac maiores natu Israel, dixitque ad Aaron:

Eight days later, Moses/I summoned the elders of Israel.

2 Tolle de armento vitulum pro peccato, et arietem in holocaustum, utrumque immaculatum, et offer illos coram Domino.

Then he/I said to Aaron, “Take a young bull for the offering to enable you leaders to be forgiven for the sins you have committed, and a ram to be completely burned [on the altar], both of them without any defects, and offer them to Yahweh.

3 Et ad filios Israel loqueris: Tollite hircum pro peccato, et vitulum, atque agnum anniculum, et sine macula in holocaustum,

Then say to the Israeli people, ‘Take one male goat for the offering to enable you all to be forgiven for the sins you have committed. Also take a calf and a lamb that have no defects, to be an offering completely burned [on the altar].

4 bovem et arietem pro pacificis: et immolate eos coram Domino, in sacrificio singulorum similam conspersam oleo offerentes. hodie enim Dominus apparebit vobis.

Also take an ox and a ram to be an offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh], along with an offering of flour mixed with olive oil. Do this because today Yahweh is going to appear to you.’”

5 Tulerunt ergo cuncta quae iusserat Moyses ad ostium tabernaculi: ubi cum omnis multitudo astaret,

[After Moses/I told this to the Israeli people, some of them] took the things that Moses/I had commanded them to take, and went to the courtyard in front of the Sacred Tent. Then all the people came near and stood in front of Yahweh.

6 ait Moyses: Iste est sermo, quem praecepit Dominus: facite, et apparebit vobis gloria eius.

Then Moses/I said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded you to do, in order that his glory will appear to you.”

7 Et dixit ad Aaron: Accede ad altare, et immola pro peccato tuo: offer holocaustum, et deprecare pro te et pro populo. cumque mactaveris hostiam populi, ora pro eo, sicut praecepit Dominus.

Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “Come to the altar and sacrifice the animal that is your offering to enable you to be forgiven for the sins you have committed, and the animal that will be completely burned there. Because of those offerings, God will forgive you and the people for the sins that you have committed [DOU]. Do those things that Yahweh has commanded.”

8 Statimque Aaron accedens ad altare, immolavit vitulum pro peccato suo:

So Aaron came close to the altar and slaughtered the calf to be an offering for his sins.

9 cuius sanguinem obtulerunt ei filii sui: in quo tingens digitum, tetigit cornua altaris, et fudit residuum ad basim eius.

His sons brought its blood to him [in a bowl]. He dipped his finger into the blood and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

10 Adipemque et renunculos, ac reticulum iecoris, quae sunt pro peccato, adolevit super altare, sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi:

He/I burned the fat, including that which covered the kidneys and the liver, as Yahweh had commanded him/me.

11 carnes vero et pellem eius extra castra combussit igni.

Then Aaron burned [the rest of] the meat and the hide/skin outside the camp.

12 Immolavit et holocausti victimam: obtuleruntque ei filii sui sanguinem eius, quem fudit per altaris circuitum.

Then Aaron slaughtered the animal that would be completely burned [on the altar]. His sons handed him [the bowl containing] its blood, and he sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.

13 ipsam etiam hostiam in frusta concisam, cum capite et membris singulis obtulerunt. quae omnia super altare cremavit igni,

Then they handed him the head and the pieces of the animal that would be burned, and he burned them on the altar.

14 lotis aqua prius intestinis et pedibus.

He washed the inner parts and the legs of the animal, and burned them on the altar, on top of the other pieces of the animal.

15 Et pro peccato populi offerens, mactavit hircum: expiatoque altari,

Then Aaron brought the animals that would be sacrifices for the Israeli people. He took the goat and slaughtered it to be an offering to enable them to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, like he had done with the goat for his own offering.

16 fecit holocaustum,

Then he brought the animal for the offering to be completely burned. He slaughtered it and offered it in the way that Yahweh had commanded him to do.

17 addens in sacrificio libamenta, quae pariter offeruntur, et adolens ea super altare, absque ceremoniis holocausti matutini.

He also brought the offering of grain. He took a handful of it and burned it on the altar, like he had done for the animal that he had slaughtered and completely burned [on the altar] in the morning.

18 Immolavit et bovem atque arietem, hostias pacificas populi: obtuleruntque ei filii sui sanguinem, quem fudit super altare in circuitum.

Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram, to be an offering for the Israeli people to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. His sons handed him [the bowl containing] the blood, and he sprinkled the blood against all sides of the altar.

19 Adipem autem bovis, et caudam arietis, renunculosque cum adipibus suis, et reticulum iecoris

But he took the fat from the ox and the ram, including their fat tails that were cut close to the backbone, and all the fat that covered the livers and the kidneys.

20 posuerunt super pectora. cumque cremati essent adipes super altare,

He put them on top of the breasts of those animals and carried them to the altar to be burned.

21 pectora eorum, et armos dextros separavit Aaron, elevans coram Domino, sicut praeceperat Moyses.

Then, doing what Moses/I had commanded, he lifted up in front of Yahweh the breast and the right thigh of those animals, to signify that those two animals completely belonged to Yahweh.

22 Et extendens manum ad populum, benedixit ei. Sicque completis hostiis pro peccato, et holocaustis, et pacificis, descendit.

Then Aaron lifted his arms toward the people and [asked Yahweh to] bless them. Then having finished making all those offerings, he stepped down [from the place where the altar was].

23 Ingressi autem Moyses et Aaron in tabernaculum testimonii, et deinceps egressi benedixerunt populo. Apparuitque gloria Domini omni multitudini:

Then Aaron and Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent. When they/we later came out, they/we [asked Yahweh to] bless the people. And suddenly the glory/brightness of Yahweh appeared to all the people.

24 et ecce egressus ignis a Domino, devoravit holocaustum, et adipes qui erant super altare. Quod cum vidissent turbae, laudaverunt Dominum, ruentes in facies suas.

A fire from Yahweh appeared and burned up the offering that was to be completely burned and the fat that was on the altar. And when all the people saw that, they shouted joyfully and prostrated themselves on the ground [to worship Yahweh].
