3 Mojzes 1

1 Gospod je zaklical k Mojzesu in mu spregovoril iz šotorskega svetišča skupnosti, rekoč:

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

2 »Spregovori Izraelovim otrokom in jim reci: ›Če katerikoli človek izmed vas prinese dar Gospodu, boste prinesli svojo daritev izmed živine, od tropa in od črede.

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 Če bo njegov dar žgalna daritev od črede, naj daruje samca brez pomanjkljivosti. Daroval ga bo iz svoje lastne prostovoljne volje pri vratih šotorskega svetišča skupnosti pred Gospodom.

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 Svojo roko bo položil na glavo žgalne daritve in ta bo sprejeta zanj, da opravi spravo zanj.

And he shall put his hand upon the head of the victim, and it shall be acceptable, and help to its expiation.

5 Bikca bo zaklal pred Gospodom in duhovniki, Aronovi sinovi, bodo prinesli kri in kri poškropili naokoli nad oltarjem, ki je pri vratih šotorskega svetišča skupnosti.

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 Žgalno daritev bo odrl in jo razrezal na koščke.

And when they have flayed the victim, they shall cut the joints into pieces,

7 Sinovi duhovnika Arona bodo na oltar položili ogenj in po vrsti na ogenj položili les.

And shall put fire on the altar, having before laid in order a pile of wood:

8 Duhovniki, Aronovi sinovi, bodo položili dele, glavo in tolščo, po vrsti na les, ki je na ognju, ki je na oltarju,

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 toda njegovo drobovino in njegove noge bo umil v vodi. Duhovnik bo vse sežgal na oltarju, da bo žgalna daritev, ognjena daritev, prijetnega vonja Gospodu.

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 Če bo njegov dar za žgalno daritev od tropov, namreč od ovc ali od koz, bo privedel samca brez pomanjkljivosti.

And if the offering be of the hocks, a holocaust of sheep or of goats, he shall offer a male without blemish:

11 Zaklal ga bo na severni strani oltarja pred Gospodom. Duhovniki, Aronovi sinovi, bodo njegovo kri poškropili naokoli nad oltarjem.

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 Razrezal ga bo na koščke, z njegovo glavo in njegovo tolščo. Duhovnik jih bo po vrsti položil na les, ki je na ognju, ki je na oltarju,

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 toda drobovje in noge bo umil z vodo. Duhovnik bo vse to prinesel in to sežgal na oltarju. To je žgalna daritev, ognjena daritev, prijetnega vonja Gospodu.

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 Če bo žgalna daritev za njegov dar Gospodu od perjadi, potem bo svojo daritev prinesel od grlic ali od mladih golobov.

But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord be of birds, of turtles, or of young pigeons,

15 Duhovnik bo to prinesel na oltar in ji odščipnil vrat in jo sežgal na oltarju; in njena kri bo iztisnjena ob strani oltarja.

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 Njeno golšo bo odtrgal z njenimi peresi in jo odvrgel na vzhodnem delu, poleg oltarja, ob kraju za pepel

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 in nalomi jo s perutmi, toda ne bo je ločil narazen. Duhovnik bo to sežgal na oltarju, na lesu, ki je na ognju. To je žgalna daritev, ognjena daritev, prijetnega vonja Gospodu.‹«

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.
