Levítico 9

1 Al llegar el día octavo, Moisés llamó a Aarón, a sus hijos y a los ancianos de Israel,

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

2 y dijo a Aarón: Toma un becerro para el sacrificio por el pecado y un carnero sin defecto para el sacrificio quemado, y ofrécelos ante Yavé.

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 Y hablarás a los hijos de Israel: Tomen un macho cabrío para el sacrificio por el pecado, un becerro y un cordero añal sin defecto para el sacrificio quemado,

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 un becerro y un carnero los cuales degollarán ante Yavé como sacrificio de paz y también una ofrenda vegetal amasada con aceite. Porque hoy Yavé les aparecerá.

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 Llevaron lo que Moisés ordenó al frente del Tabernáculo de Reunión. Toda la congregación se acercó y permaneció en pie ante la Presencia de Yavé.

[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 Y Moisés dijo: Esto es lo que Yavé ordenó hacer para que la gloria de Yavé se les aparezca.

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

7 Luego Moisés dijo a Aarón: Acércate al altar y prepara tu sacrificio por el pecado y tu holocausto. Ofrece sacrificio que apacigua por ti y por el pueblo. Presenta también el sacrificio del pueblo y ofrece sacrificio que apacigua por él, como Yavé ordenó.

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 Entonces Aarón se acercó al altar y degolló el becerro del sacrificio que apacigua por el pecado de él.

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

9 Los hijos de Aarón le llevaron la sangre. Luego mojó su dedo en la sangre, tocó los cuernos del altar y derramó el resto de la sangre al pie del altar.

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 Después ordenó quemar la grasa, los riñones y la grasa del hígado del sacrificio por el pecado sobre el altar, como Yavé ordenó a Moisés,

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

11 pero la carne y la piel los quemó al fuego fuera del campamento.

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

12 Luego degolló el holocausto, y los hijos de Aarón le llevaron la sangre, la cual roció sobre el altar, por todos los lados.

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 Después le llevaron el holocausto, trozo por trozo con la cabeza, y mandó quemarlos sobre el altar.

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

14 Lavó también los órganos internos y las patas, y ordenó quemarlos sobre el altar.

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 También ofreció el sacrificio del pueblo, tomó el macho cabrío del sacrificio que purifica por el pecado del pueblo, lo degolló y lo ofreció por el pecado como el primero.

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 Después ofreció el holocausto e hizo según la ordenanza.

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 Presentó también la ofrenda vegetal. Tomó un puñado y lo quemó sobre el altar, además del holocausto de la mañana.

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 También degolló el becerro y el carnero como sacrificio de paz por el pueblo. Los hijos de Aarón le presentaron la sangre, y él la roció sobre el altar por todos los lados.

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 Las grasas del becerro y del carnero: la cola gorda, la grasa que cubre las vísceras y los riñones, y la grasa del hígado,

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 las pusieron con las grasas de los pechos, y quemaron las grasas sobre el altar.

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

21 Pero Aarón ofreció el pecho y el muslo derecho como ofrenda mecida ante la Presencia de Yavé, como Moisés ordenó.

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 Luego Aarón alzó sus manos hacia el pueblo y lo bendijo. Después de hacer el sacrificio que apacigua, el holocausto y el sacrificio de paz, descendió.

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 Moisés entró con Aarón en el Tabernáculo de Reunión. Cuando salieron y bendijeron al pueblo, la gloria de Yavé apareció ante todo el pueblo.

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 Entonces de la Presencia de Yavé salió fuego, y consumió el holocausto y la grasa que estaba sobre el altar. Al ver esto, todo el pueblo gritó de gozo y se postraron sobre sus rostros.

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].
