利未記 1

1 上主叫了梅瑟來，由會幕中訓示他說：

And the Lord called Moses again and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of witness, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them,

2 你告訴以色列子民說：你們中若有人願意由家畜中給上主奉獻祭品。應以牛羊作你們的祭品。

If [any] man of you shall bring gifts to the Lord, you shall bring your gifts of the cattle and of the oxen and of the sheep.

3 若有人獻牛作全燔祭，該獻一條無瑕的公牛，牽到會幕門口，為在上主面前蒙受納悅；

If his gift be a whole burnt offering, he shall bring an unblemished male of the herd to the door of the tabernacle of witness, he shall bring it as acceptable before the Lord.

4 先按手在全燔祭的頭上，使祭牲蒙受納悅，代自己贖罪。

And he shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering as a thing acceptable for him, to make atonement for him.

5 以後在上主面前宰了那牛，亞郎的兒子司祭們，應奉獻牲血，將血灑在會幕門的祭壇的四週。

And they shall kill the calf before the Lord; and the sons of Aaron the priests shall bring the blood, and they shall pour the blood round about on the altar, which [is] at the doors of the tabernacle of witness.

6 奉獻者剝去祭牲的皮，將犧牲切成塊。

And having flayed the whole burnt offering, they shall divide it by its limbs.

7 亞郎的兒子司祭們先將火放在祭壇上，火上擺上木柴；

And the sons of Aaron the priests shall put fire on the altar, and shall pile wood on the fire.

8 然後亞郎的兒子司祭們，將成塊的肉、頭和脂肪，擺在祭壇火上的木柴上。

And the sons of Aaron the priests shall pile up the divided parts, and the head, and the fat on the wood on the fire, [the wood] which is on the altar.

9 奉獻者應用水將內臟和小腿洗淨；司祭將這一切放在祭壇上焚燒，作為全燔祭，作為中悅上主的馨香火祭。

And the entrails and the feet they shall wash in water, and the priests shall put all on the altar: it is a burnt offering, a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.

10 若有人獻羊作全燔祭，不論是綿羊，或是山羊，該獻一頭無瑕的公羊。

And if his gift [be] of the sheep to the Lord, or of the lambs, or of the kids for whole burnt offerings, he shall bring it a male without blemish.

11 應在上主面前，祭台的北邊將牠宰了；亞郎的兒子司祭們，應將血灑在祭壇的四週。

And he shall lay his hand on its head; and they shall kill it by the side of the altar, towards the north before the Lord, and the sons of Aaron the priests shall pour its blood on the altar round about.

12 然後奉獻者應將祭牲切成塊，司祭將成塊的肉、頭和脂肪，擺在祭壇火上的木柴上。

And they shall divide it by its limbs, and its head and its fat, and the priests shall pile them up on the wood which is on the fire, on the altar.

13 那人應用水將內臟和小腿洗淨；司祭將這一切放在祭壇上焚燒，作為全燔祭，作為中悅上主的馨香火祭。

And they shall wash the entrails and the feet with water, and the priest shall bring all the [parts] and put them on the altar: it is a burnt offering, a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.

14 若有人給上主獻飛禽作全燔祭，該獻班鳩或雛鴿作祭品。

And if he bring his gift, a burnt offering to the Lord, of birds, then shall he bring his gift of doves or pigeons.

15 司祭應將牠帶到祭壇前，扭斷他的頭，放在祭壇上焚燒；先把牠的血靠在祭壇的旁邊擠盡，

And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and shall wring off its head; and the priest shall put it on the altar, and shall wring out the blood at the bottom of the altar.

16 然後那人將嗉囊和羽毛拔去，丟在祭壇東邊倒灰的地方。

And he shall take away the crop with the feathers, and shall cast it forth by the altar towards the east to the place of the ashes.

17 然後司祭將犧牲由兩翼的中間撕開，但不可分離；放在祭壇上焚燒，作為全燔祭，作為中悅上主的馨香火祭。

And he shall break it off from the wings and shall not separate it, and the priest shall put it on the altar on the wood which is on the fire: it is a burnt offering, a sacrifice, a sweet smelling savour to the Lord.
