Levítico 3
1 Si su ofrenda es un sacrificio de paz, si ofrece de la manada de ganado vacuno, sea macho o hembra, lo presentará sin defecto a Yavé.
[“Also tell the people], ‘When the offering that you bring to Yahweh is to maintain good fellowship [with him], you may bring a bull or a cow from your herd [of cattle], but what you present to Yahweh must be an animal that has no defects.
2 Pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza del animal y lo degollará en la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión. Los sacerdotes hijos de Aarón rociarán la sangre sobre el altar por todos los lados.
You must bring the animal to the entrance to the Sacred Tent. You must lay your hands on its head. Then you must slaughter it [and drain some of its blood in a bowl]. Then one of Aaron’s sons, one of the priests, will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.
3 Del sacrificio de la ofrenda de paz, presentarán una ofrenda quemada a Yavé con la grasa que cubre los intestinos, toda la que hay sobre los órganos internos,
From that offering, you must offer to Yahweh, as a sacrifice that will be burned in the fire, all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal, or which is attached to them—
4 los dos riñones y la grasa que los cubre, y sobre las ijadas y la grasa del hígado, la cual quitará junto con los riñones.
the kidneys and the fat that is attached to them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.
5 Los hijos de Aarón harán arder esto en el altar, encima del holocausto que estará sobre la leña en el fuego. Es ofrenda quemada de olor que apacigua a Yavé.
Then one of the priests will burn those things on the altar, along with the other parts of the animal that will be completely burned to be an offering [to Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.
6 Si su ofrenda para el sacrificio de ofrenda de paz a Yavé es del rebaño, lo presentará sin defecto, macho o hembra.
If that offering to maintain good fellowship with Yahweh is a sheep or a goat, it must also be an animal that has no defects.
7 Si lleva un cordero como ofrenda, lo presentará delante de Yavé,
If you offer a lamb, you must present it to Yahweh [at the entrance to the Sacred Tent]. You must lay your hands on the lamb’s head and then slaughter it. [‘You must drain some of its blood in a bowl].
8 pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza del animal y lo degollará delante del Tabernáculo de Reunión. Luego, los hijos de Aarón rociarán su sangre sobre el altar por todos los lados.
Then one of the priests will sprinkle that blood against all sides of the altar.
9 Del sacrificio de la ofrenda de paz presentarán como ofrenda quemada a Yavé la grasa y la cola entera, cortada desde el espinazo, así como la grasa que cubre los intestinos, toda la grasa que hay sobre los órganos internos,
You must dedicate these things to be a sacrifice to Yahweh that is burned: Its fat, the fat tail that you must cut off close to the backbone, and all the fat that covers the inner parts of the lamb or which is attached to them—
10 los dos riñones, la grasa que los cubre, y sobre las ijadas y la grasa del hígado, la cual quitará con los riñones.
the kidneys with the fat that is on them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.
11 El sacerdote los hará arder sobre el altar como alimento de ofrenda quemada a Yavé.
One of the priests will burn those things on the altar to be an offering to Yahweh; [it will be as though] they will be a special food [given to Yahweh].
12 Si su ofrenda es una cabra, la presentará a Yavé,
‘If your offering is a goat, you must take/present it to Yahweh.
13 pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza de ella y la degollará delante del Tabernáculo de Reunión. Después los hijos de Aarón rociarán su sangre sobre el altar por todos los lados.
You must lay your hands on its head. Then you must slaughter it in front of the Sacred Tent. Then one of Aaron’s sons will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.
14 Después ofrecerá de ella su ofrenda quemada a Yavé: la grasa que cubre los órganos internos, toda la grasa que cubre las vísceras,
From that offering you must dedicate these things to be a sacrifice to Yahweh that is burned: All the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal or which is attached to them,
15 los dos riñones con la grasa que los cubre y sobre las ijadas, y la grasa del hígado, la cual quitará con los riñones.
the kidneys with the fat that is on them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.
16 Luego el sacerdote los hará arder sobre el altar. Es ofrenda quemada, alimento de olor que apacigua a Yavé. Toda la grasa es de Yavé.
The priest will burn those things on the altar to be an offering to Yahweh; [it will be as though] they will be a special food [given to Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh. All the fat [of the animals that are sacrificed] belongs to Yahweh.
17 Es estatuto perpetuo para sus generaciones dondequiera que vivan: no comerán grasa ni sangre.
‘This is a command that must be obeyed by you and your descendants forever, wherever you live: You must not eat the fat or the blood [of any animal].’”
