Levitiko 1

1 Pea naʻe ui ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo folofola kiate ia mei he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻo pehē,

Then the Lord called Moses and spoke to him from the tabernacle of the testimony, saying:

2 Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo tala kiate kinautolu, Kapau ʻoku ai ha tangata ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ʻomi ha meʻaʻofa kia Sihova, temou ʻomi hoʻomou meʻaʻofa ʻi he fanga manu, ʻio, ʻi he fanga manu lalahi, mo e fanga manu siʻi.

Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man among you who will offer to the Lord a sacrifice from the cattle, that is, an offering of victims of oxen or sheep:

3 Kapau ko e feilaulau tutu mei he fanga manu lalahi ʻa ʻene meʻaʻofa, tuku ke ne ʻatu ʻae manu tangata taʻehanomele, te ne ʻatu ia ʻi hono loto lelei pe ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

if his offering will be a holocaust, as well as from the herd, he shall offer an immaculate male at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, to make himself pleasing to the Lord.

4 Pea te ne hilifaki hono nima ki he ʻulu ʻoe feilaulau tutu; pea ʻe maʻu ia mei ai koeʻuhi ke fai ʻaki ʻae fakalelei maʻana.

And he shall place his hand on the head of the sacrifice, and so it shall be acceptable and effective, in its expiation.

5 Pea ʻe tāmateʻi ʻe ia ʻae pulu tangata ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea ko e kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone, tenau ʻomi ʻae toto, pea luluku ʻae toto ʻo fakatakatakamilo ʻi he feilaulauʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

And he shall immolate the calf in the sight of the Lord. And the priests, the sons of Aaron, shall offer its blood, pouring it all around the altar, which is before the door of the tabernacle.

6 Pea te ne fohiʻi ʻae feilaulau tutu, pea tafa ia ʻo mavahevahe.

And having pulled away the skin of the victim, they shall cut up the joints into pieces,

7 Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone ko e kau taulaʻeiki, tenau ʻai ʻae afi ki he feilaulauʻanga, pea hili totonu ʻae fefie ki he afi:

and they shall toss fire under the altar, having arranged beforehand a stack of wood.

8 Pea ko e kau taulaʻeiki, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone, tenau hili totonu ʻae ngaahi konga, ko e ʻulu, mo e ngako ki he fefie ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he afi ʻi he feilaulauʻanga:

And they shall lay the parts which are cut up in order upon it: namely, the head, and all the things that adjoin to the liver,

9 Ka ko hono toʻotoʻonga mo hono kauvaʻe, ʻe fufuluʻaki ʻae vai: pea ʻe tutu kotoa pē ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻi he feilaulauʻanga, ko e feilaulau tutu, ko e feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi, ko e meʻa namu kakala kia Sihova.

the intestines and feet having been washed with water. And the priest shall burn them on the altar as a holocaust and as a sweet odor to the Lord.

10 Pea kapau ʻoku ʻomi mei he fanga manu siʻi ʻene meʻaʻofa, ʻi he fanga sipi, pe ʻi he fanga kosi, koeʻuhi ko e feilaulau tutu; te ne ʻomi ia ko e manu tangata taʻehanomele.

But if the offering is from the flocks, a holocaust either of sheep or goats, he shall offer a male without blemish.

11 Pea te ne tāmateʻi ia ʻi he potu fakatokelau ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea ʻe lulukuʻaki hono toto ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone ʻo takatakai ʻi he funga feilaulauʻanga.

And he shall immolate it at the side of the altar which looks out toward the north, in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, the sons of Aaron shall pour its blood upon the altar all around.

12 Pea te ne tafa ia ki hono ngaahi konga, mo hono ʻulu mo hono ngako: pea ʻe hili totonu ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻi he fefie, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he afi ʻi he funga feilaulauʻanga:

And they shall divide the limbs, the head, and everything that adjoins to the liver. And they shall place them on the wood, under which the fire is to be thrown.

13 Ka ʻe fufulu ʻe ia hono toʻotoʻonga mo hono kauvaʻe ʻaki ʻae vai: pea ʻe ʻomi kotoa pē ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki, ʻo tutu ia ʻi he feilaulauʻanga: ko e feilaulau tutu ia, ko e feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi, ko e meʻa namu kakala kia Sihova.

Yet truly, the intestines and the feet they shall wash with water. And the priest, having offered everything, shall burn it upon the altar as a holocaust and as a most sweet odor to the Lord.

14 Pea kapau ko ʻene feilaulau kia Sihova, ko e manupuna ki heʻene feilaulau tutu, pea te ne ʻomi ʻae kulukulu ʻe ua, pe ko e lupe mui ʻe ua.

But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord is of birds, either of turtledoves, or young pigeons,

15 Pea ʻe ʻomi ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki ki he feilaulauʻanga, ʻo motuhi hono ʻulu, ʻo tutu ia ʻi he feilaulauʻanga; pea ʻe tatau hono toto ʻi he potu ʻoe feilaulauʻanga:

the priest shall offer it at the altar: and twisting back the neck with the head, and also rupturing the place of the wound, he shall make the blood run down over the edge of the altar.

16 Pea te ne toʻo mai hono ngākau mo hono fulufulu, ʻo lī ia ki he potu hopoʻangalaʻā ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo ofi ki he potu ʻoe efuefu.

Yet truly, the craw of the throat and the feathers he shall cast near the altar at the eastern section, in the place where the ashes are usually poured out.

17 Pea te ne fahiua ia mo hono kapakau, kaeʻoua naʻa motuua ia; pea ʻe tutu ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻi he feilaulauʻanga, ki he fefie ʻoku ʻi he afi; ko e feilaulau tutu ia, ko e feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi, ko e meʻa namu kakala kia Sihova.

And he shall break its wing joints, but he shall neither cut, nor divide it with metal, and he shall burn it upon the altar, placing fire under the wood. It is a holocaust and an oblation of a most sweet odor to the Lord.
