Leviticus 1
1 Olúwa sì pe Mose, ó sì bá a sọ̀rọ̀ láti inú àgọ́ àjọ. Ó wí pé,
While Moses/I was [standing near the entrance] to the Sacred Tent, Yahweh called to him/me from inside the tent. He said to Moses/me,
2 “Bá àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sọ̀rọ̀ kí o sì wí fún wọn pé, ‘Bí ẹnikẹ́ni nínú yín bá mú ọrẹ ẹbọ wá fún Olúwa, kí ọrẹ ẹbọ yín jẹ́ ẹran ọ̀sìn láti inú agbo ẹran tàbí láti inú ọ̀wọ́ ẹran.
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘When any of you brings an offering to Yahweh, bring one of your sheep or goats or cattle.
3 “‘Bí ọrẹ ẹbọ náà bá jẹ́ ẹbọ sísun láti inú agbo ẹran kí òun kí ó mú akọ màlúù tí kò lábùkù. Ó sì gbọdọ̀ mú un wá sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ àjọ kí ó ba à lè jẹ́ ìtẹ́wọ́gbà níwájú Olúwa
‘If what you are offering is a bull that will be completely burned [on the altar], it must not have any defects. You must take it to the entrance to the Sacred Tent, in order that it will be acceptable to Yahweh.
4 kí ó gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lé orí ẹbọ sísun náà yóò sì jẹ́ ìtẹ́wọ́gbà dípò o rẹ̀, yóò sì jẹ́ ètùtù fún un.
You must lay your hands on the head of the bull. When you do that, Yahweh will accept [its death in your place] to forgive/pardon you for the sins that you have committed.
5 Kí ó pa ọ̀dọ́ akọ màlúù náà níwájú Olúwa, lẹ́yìn náà ni àwọn àlùfáà tí í ṣe ọmọ Aaroni yóò gbé ẹ̀jẹ̀ ẹran náà, wọn yóò sì wọ́n ẹ̀jẹ̀ náà yí pẹpẹ tí ó wà ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ àjọ ká.
You must slaughter the bull in front of Yahweh. Then Aaron’s sons, who are priests, will bring the blood and sprinkle it against all sides of the altar near the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
6 Òun yóò bó awọ ara ẹbọ sísun náà, òun yóò sì gé e sí wẹ́wẹ́.
You must remove the skin of the animal and cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the bull.
7 Àwọn ọmọ Aaroni tí í ṣe àlùfáà yóò fi iná sí orí pẹpẹ, wọn yóò sì to igi sórí pẹpẹ náà.
Then Aaron’s sons will put wood on the altar and light a fire.

Then they will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.

Then one of the priests will completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.
10 “‘Bí ọrẹ ẹbọ náà bá jẹ́ ẹbọ sísun láti inú ọ̀wọ́ ẹran, láti ara àwọn àgùntàn tàbí ewúrẹ́ tàbí àgùntàn, kí ó mú akọ tí kò lábùkù,
‘If you are offering a sheep or a goat, it must be a male without any defect.

You must slaughter it in front of Yahweh, on the north side of the altar, [and drain all the blood into a bowl]. Then Aaron’s sons will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.

You must cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the animal. Then the priests will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.

Then one of the priests will take all of it and completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma as it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.
14 “‘Bí ó bá sì ṣe pé ti ẹyẹ ni ẹbọ sísun ọrẹ ẹbọ rẹ̀ sí Olúwa, ǹjẹ́ kí ó mú ọrẹ ẹbọ rẹ̀ wá nínú àdàbà tàbí ọmọ ẹyẹlé.
‘If what you are offering to Yahweh is a bird, you must offer a dove or a young pigeon.
15 Kí àlùfáà mu wá sí ibi pẹpẹ, kí ó yín in lọ́rùn, kí ó sì sun ún lórí pẹpẹ, kí ó sì ro ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ pẹpẹ.
The priest will take it to the altar and wring/twist off its head. Then he will burn the head on the altar. He will drain out the bird’s blood onto the side of the altar.
16 Kí ó yọ àjẹsí ẹyẹ náà pẹ̀lú gbogbo ohun tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀, kí ó gbe lọ ṣí apá ìlà-oòrùn pẹpẹ níbi tí eérú wà.
Then he will remove the bird’s (craw/food-grinding pouch) and what is inside it, and throw it on the east side of the altar, where the ashes are thrown.
17 Kí ó gbá apá rẹ̀ méjèèjì mú, kí ó fà á ya, ṣùgbọ́n kí ó má ya á tan pátápátá. Lẹ́yìn náà ni àlùfáà yóò sun ún lórí igi tí ó ń jó lórí pẹpẹ, ẹbọ sísun ni ọrẹ tí a fi iná ṣe, àní òórùn dídùn sí Olúwa.
Then he will grasp the bird’s wings and partially tear the bird open. Then he will burn it completely in the fire on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.’
