Levítico 1
1 Yahvé llamó a Moisés y le habló desde la Tienda del Encuentro, diciendo:
And the voice of the Lord came to Moses out of the Tent of meeting, saying,
2 “Habla a los hijos de Israel y diles: ‘Cuando alguno de vosotros ofrezca una ofrenda a Yahvé, ofreceréis vuestra ofrenda del ganado, de la manada y del rebaño.
Give these orders to the children of Israel: When anyone of you makes an offering to the Lord, you are to take it from the cattle, from the herd or from the flock.
3 “‘Si su ofrenda es un holocausto del rebaño, ofrecerá un macho sin defecto. Lo ofrecerá a la puerta de la Tienda del Encuentro, para que sea aceptado ante el Señor.
If the offering is a burned offering of the herd, let him give a male without a mark: he is to give it at the door of the Tent of meeting so that he may be pleasing to the Lord.
4 Pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza del holocausto, y le será aceptado para hacer expiación por él.
And he is to put his hand on the head of the burned offering and it will be taken for him, to take away his sin.
5 Matará el toro delante de Yahvé. Los hijos de Aarón, los sacerdotes, presentarán la sangre y la rociarán alrededor del altar que está a la puerta de la Tienda de reunión.
And the ox is to be put to death before the Lord: then Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and put some of it on and round the altar which is at the door of the Tent of meeting.
6 Desollará el holocausto y lo cortará en pedazos.
And the burned offering is to be skinned and cut up into its parts.
7 Los hijos del sacerdote Aarón pondrán fuego en el altar y pondrán la leña en orden sobre el fuego;
And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put fire on the altar and put the wood in order on the fire:
8 y los hijos de Aarón, los sacerdotes, pondrán los trozos, la cabeza y la grasa en orden sobre la leña que está sobre el fuego que está en el altar;
And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put the parts, the head and the fat, in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar:
9 pero lavará sus entrañas y sus patas con agua. El sacerdote lo quemará todo sobre el altar, como holocausto, ofrenda encendida, de aroma agradable para Yahvé.
But its inside parts and its legs are to be washed with water, and it will all be burned on the altar by the priest for a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.
10 “‘Si su ofrenda es del rebaño, de las ovejas o de las cabras, para un holocausto, ofrecerá un macho sin defecto.
And if his offering is of the flock, a burned offering of sheep or goats, let him give a male without a mark.
11 Lo matará en el lado norte del altar, delante de Yahvé. Los hijos de Aarón, los sacerdotes, rociarán su sangre alrededor del altar.
And he is to put it to death on the north side of the altar before the Lord: and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some of the blood on and round the altar.
12 Lo cortará en pedazos, con su cabeza y su grasa. El sacerdote los pondrá en orden sobre la leña que está sobre el fuego que está sobre el altar,
And the offering is to be cut into its parts, with its head and its fat; and the priest is to put them in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar:
13 pero las entrañas y las patas las lavará con agua. El sacerdote ofrecerá el conjunto y lo quemará sobre el altar. Es un holocausto, una ofrenda hecha por el fuego, de aroma agradable para Yahvé.
But the inside parts and the legs are to be washed with water; and the priest will make an offering of all of it, burning it on the altar: it is a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.
14 “‘Si su ofrenda a Yahvé es un holocausto de aves, ofrecerá su ofrenda de tórtolas o de pichones.
And if his offering to the Lord is a burned offering of birds, then he is to make his offering of doves or of young pigeons.
15 El sacerdote la traerá al altar, le arrancará la cabeza y la quemará sobre el altar, y su sangre se derramará a un lado del altar;
And the priest is to take it to the altar, and after its head has been twisted off, it is to be burned on the altar, and its blood drained out on the side of the altar:
16 y le quitará el buche y las plumas, y la echará junto al altar, en la parte oriental, en el lugar de las cenizas.
And he is to take away its stomach, with its feathers, and put it down by the east side of the altar, where the burned waste is put:
17 La arrancará por las alas, pero no la separará. El sacerdote lo quemará sobre el altar, sobre la leña que está sobre el fuego. Es un holocausto, una ofrenda hecha por el fuego, de aroma agradable para Yahvé.
And let it be broken open at the wings, but not cut in two; and let it be burned on the altar by the priest on the wood which is on the fire; it is a burned offering; an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.
