Leviticus 1
1 And the voice of the Lord came to Moses out of the Tent of meeting, saying,
Llamó Yahvé a Moisés y le habló desde el Tabernáculo de la Reunión, diciendo:
2 Give these orders to the children of Israel: When anyone of you makes an offering to the Lord, you are to take it from the cattle, from the herd or from the flock.
“Habla a los hijos de Israel y diles: Cuando alguno de vosotros quisiere presentar a Yahvé una ofrenda de animales, ofreceréis una res del ganado mayor o del ganado menor.
3 If the offering is a burned offering of the herd, let him give a male without a mark: he is to give it at the door of the Tent of meeting so that he may be pleasing to the Lord.
Si su ofrenda es holocausto de ganado mayor, presentará un macho sin tacha. A la entrada del Tabernáculo de la Reunión lo presentará para que sea grato delante de Yahvé.
4 And he is to put his hand on the head of the burned offering and it will be taken for him, to take away his sin.
Pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza del holocausto, y será acepto para expiación suya.
5 And the ox is to be put to death before the Lord: then Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and put some of it on and round the altar which is at the door of the Tent of meeting.
Luego degollará el becerro delante de Yahvé; y los hijos de Aarón, los sacerdotes, ofrecerán la sangre, derramándola sobre todos los costados del altar que está a la entrada del Tabernáculo de la Reunión.
6 And the burned offering is to be skinned and cut up into its parts.
Después será desollado el holocausto y cortado en trozos,
7 And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put fire on the altar and put the wood in order on the fire:
y los hijos de Aarón, los sacerdotes, pondrán fuego en el altar y dispondrán la leña sobre el fuego.
8 And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put the parts, the head and the fat, in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar:
Luego los hijos de Aarón, los sacerdotes, dispondrán los trozos, juntamente con la cabeza y el sebo, sobre la leña que hay sobre el fuego encima del altar;
9 But its inside parts and its legs are to be washed with water, and it will all be burned on the altar by the priest for a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.
y después de lavar con agua las entrañas y las patas, el sacerdote lo quemará todo sobre el altar. Es holocausto, sacrificio de combustión, de olor grato a Yahvé.
10 And if his offering is of the flock, a burned offering of sheep or goats, let him give a male without a mark.
Si su ofrenda es de ganado menor, tomada de las ovejas o de las cabras, ofrecerá como holocausto un macho sin tacha.
11 And he is to put it to death on the north side of the altar before the Lord: and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some of the blood on and round the altar.
Lo degollará al lado septentrional del altar, delante de Yahvé; y los hijos de Aarón, los sacerdotes, derramarán su sangre sobre todos los costados del altar.
12 And the offering is to be cut into its parts, with its head and its fat; and the priest is to put them in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar:
Lo cortarán en trozos, y junto con la cabeza y el sebo lo ordenará el sacerdote sobre la leña dispuesta sobre el fuego encima del altar;
13 But the inside parts and the legs are to be washed with water; and the priest will make an offering of all of it, burning it on the altar: it is a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.
y luego de lavar con agua las entrañas y las patas, el sacerdote lo ofrecerá todo, y lo quemará sobre el altar. Es holocausto, sacrificio de combustión, de olor grato a Yahvé.
14 And if his offering to the Lord is a burned offering of birds, then he is to make his offering of doves or of young pigeons.
Cuando ofrezca a Yahvé un holocausto de aves, será su ofrenda de tórtolas o de palominos.
15 And the priest is to take it to the altar, and after its head has been twisted off, it is to be burned on the altar, and its blood drained out on the side of the altar:
El sacerdote la llevará al altar y después de retorcerle con las uñas la cabeza la quemará sobre el altar y se hará gotear su sangre sobre el borde del altar.
16 And he is to take away its stomach, with its feathers, and put it down by the east side of the altar, where the burned waste is put:
Le quitará el buche con sus suciedades y lo tirará junto al altar, al lado oriental, en el lugar de las cenizas.
17 And let it be broken open at the wings, but not cut in two; and let it be burned on the altar by the priest on the wood which is on the fire; it is a burned offering; an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.
Después le quebrantará las alas, pero sin separarlas, y el sacerdote la quemará sobre el altar, encima de la leña dispuesta sobre el fuego. Es un holocausto, sacrificio de combustión, de olor grato a Yahvé.
