Leviticus 1

1 vocavit autem Mosen et locutus est ei Dominus de tabernaculo testimonii dicens

And the Lord called unto Moses, and spoke unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

2 loquere filiis Israhel et dices ad eos homo qui obtulerit ex vobis hostiam Domino de pecoribus id est de bubus et ovibus offerens victimas

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any one of you wish to bring an offering unto the Lord: of the cattle, either of the herds, or of the flocks, shall ye bring your offering.

3 si holocaustum fuerit eius oblatio ac de armento masculum inmaculatum offeret ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii ad placandum sibi Dominum

If his offering be a burnt-sacrifice of the herds, then shall he offer a male without blemish: unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation shall he bring it, that it may be favorably received for him before the Lord.

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

And he shall lay 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 sacerdotes sanguinem eius fundentes super altaris circuitum quod est ante ostium tabernaculi

And he shall kill the young steer before the Lord: and the sons of Aaron the priests shall bring near the blood, and they shall 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 its pieces.

7 et subicient in altari ignem strue lignorum ante conposita

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 caesa sunt desuper ordinantes caput videlicet et cuncta quae adherent iecori

And the sons of Aaron the priests shall lay in order the parts, the head, and the fat, 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 its inwards and its legs shall he wash in water; and the priest shall burn the whole on the altar, as a burnt-sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.

10 quod si de pecoribus oblatio est de ovibus sive de capris holocaustum anniculum et absque macula offeret

And if his offering be of the flocks, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-sacrifice: then shall he offer a male without blemish as the same.

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 sons of Aaron the priests shall sprinkle its blood upon the altar round about.

12 dividentque membra caput et omnia quae adherent iecori et inponent super ligna quibus subiciendus est ignis

And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its 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 the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall bring near the whole, and burn it upon the altar; it is a burnt-sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.

14 sin autem de avibus holocausti oblatio fuerit Domino de turturibus et pullis columbae

And if of fowls be the burnt-sacrifice for his offering to the Lord: then shall he bring 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 unto the altar, and pinch off its head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out on the wall of the altar.

16 vesiculam vero gutturis et plumas proiciet propter 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 part, at the place of the ashes.

17 confringetque ascellas eius et non secabit nec ferro dividet eam et adolebit super altare lignis igne subposito holocaustum est et oblatio suavissimi odoris Domino

And he shall cleave it by its wings, but shall not divide it asunder; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is on the fire: it is a burnt-sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.
