Levitski zakonik 1

1 Zovnu Jahve Mojsija te mu iz Šatora sastanka reče:

And the Lord called unto Moses, and spoke unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

2 “Govori Izraelcima i kaži im: 'Kad tko od vas želi prinijeti Jahvi žrtvu od stoke, prinijet će je ili od krupne ili od sitne stoke.

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any one of you wish to bring an offering unto the Lord: of the cattle, either of the herds, or of the flocks, shall ye bring your offering.

3 Ako njegov prinos za žrtvu paljenicu bude od krupne stoke, neka prinese muško bez mane. Neka ga dovede k ulazu u Šator sastanka da pred Jahvom bude primljen.

If his offering be a burnt-sacrifice of the herds, then shall he offer a male without blemish: unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation shall he bring it, that it may be favorably received for him before the Lord.

4 Neka stavi svoju ruku na glavu žrtve paljenice da mu za njegovo ispaštanje bude primljena.

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

5 Neka zatim zakolje junca pred Jahvom. A Aronovi sinovi, svećenici, neka prinesu krv. Neka njome zapljusnu sve strane žrtvenika koji stoji pred ulazom u Šator sastanka.

And he shall kill the young steer before the Lord: and the sons of Aaron the priests shall bring near the blood, and they shall sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

6 Potom neka se žrtva sadre i rasiječe na dijelove.

And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces.

7 Neka sinovi Aronovi, svećenici, nalože vatru na žrtveniku i na vatru metnu drva.

And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire;

8 Neka zatim sinovi Aronovi, svećenici, naslažu dijelove, s glavom i lojem, na drva što su na vatri na žrtveniku.

And the sons of Aaron the priests shall lay in order the parts, the head, and the fat, upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar;

9 Drobina i noge neka se operu u vodi. A onda neka svećenik sve sažeže u kad na žrtveniku. To je žrtva paljenica, žrtva paljena Jahvi na ugodan miris.'

But its inwards and its legs shall he wash in water; and the priest shall burn the whole on the altar, as a burnt-sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.

10 Ako bi htio prinijeti za žrtvu paljenicu od sitne stoke - od ovaca ili koza - neka prinese muško bez mane.

And if his offering be of the flocks, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-sacrifice: then shall he offer a male without blemish as the same.

11 Neka ga zakolje pred Jahvom, na žrtveniku sa sjeverne strane. Neka zatim Aronovi sinovi, svećenici, zapljusnu žrtvenik krvlju sa svih strana.

And he shall kill it on the side of the altar, northward, before the Lord; and the sons of Aaron the priests shall sprinkle its blood upon the altar round about.

12 Potom neka je rasijeku na dijelove, a svećenik neka ih, s glavom i lojem, naslaže na drva što su na vatri na žrtveniku.

And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar;

13 Drobina i noge neka se operu u vodi. Onda svećenik neka sve prinese i na žrtveniku sažeže. To je žrtva paljenica, žrtva paljena Jahvi na ugodan miris.

But the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall bring near the whole, and burn it upon the altar; it is a burnt-sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.

14 Ako bi hto prinijeti Jahvi ptice kao žrtvu paljenicu, neka onda prinese grlicu ili golubića.

And if of fowls be the burnt-sacrifice for his offering to the Lord: then shall he bring his offering of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons.

15 Neka ga svećenik prinese k žrtveniku i, zavrnuvši mu vratom, otkine glavu i na žrtveniku sažeže. Zatim neka mu krv iscijedi žrtveniku sa strane.

And the priest shall bring it near unto the altar, and pinch off its head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out on the wall of the altar.

16 Neka mu gušu i perje ukloni i pobaca ih na istočnu stranu žrtvenika, na mjesto za otpatke.

And he shall remove its crop with its feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, at the place of the ashes.

17 Neka ga raspori duž obaju krila, ali neka ih ne rastavlja. Onda neka ga svećenik na žrtveniku sažeže na drvima što su na vatri. To je žrtva paljenica, žrtva paljena Jahvi na ugodan miris.”

And he shall cleave it by its wings, but shall not divide it asunder; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is on the fire: it is a burnt-sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.
