Levitiko 1

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

And 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 children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man among you that shall offer to the Lord a sacrifice of the cattle, that is, offering victims of oxen and 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 be a holocaust, and of the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish, at the door of the testimony, to make the Lord favourable to him:

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 put his hand upon the head of the victim, and it shall be acceptable, and help to 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 before the Lord, and the priests the sons of Aaron shall offer the blood thereof, pouring it round about the altar, which is before the door of the tabernacle.

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

And when they have flayed the victim, they shall cut 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 shall put fire on the altar, having before laid in order a pile 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 that are cut out in order thereupon, to wit, the head, and all things that cleave 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 entrails and feet being washed with water: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar for a holocaust, and a sweet savour 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.

And if the offering be of the hocks, a holocaust of sheep or of 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 that looketh to the north, before the Lord: but the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood thereof upon the altar round about:

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 joints, the head, and all that cleave to the liver: and shall lay them upon the wood, under which the fire is to be put:

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.

But the entrails and the feet they shall wash with water. And the priest shall offer it all and burn it all upon the altar for a holocaust, and most sweet savour 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 be of birds, of turtles, or of 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, and breaking the place of the wound, he shall make the blood run down upon the brim 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.

But the crop of the throat, and the feathers he shall cast beside the altar at the east side, in the place where the ashes are wont to be 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 the pinions thereof, and shall not cut, nor divide it with a knife, and shall burn it upon the altar, putting fire under the wood. It is a holocaust and oblation of most sweet savour to the Lord.
