Leviticus 1

1 Vocavit autem Moysen, et locutus est ei Dominus de tabernaculo testimonii, dicens:

And the LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

2 Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Homo, qui obtulerit ex vobis hostiam Domino de pecoribus, id est, de bobus et ovibus offerens victimas,

Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man of you shall bring an offering to the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.

3 si holocaustum fuerit eius oblatio, ac de armento; masculum immaculatum offeret ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii, ad placandum sibi Dominum:

If his offering shall be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.

4 ponetque manum super caput hostiæ, et acceptabilis erit, atque in expiationem eius proficiens.

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

5 Immolabitque vitulum coram Domino, et offerent filii Aaron sacerdotes sanguinem eius, fundentes per altaris circuitum, quod est ante ostium tabernaculi.

And he shall kill the bull before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood around upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

6 Detractaque pelle hostiæ, artus in frusta concident,

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

7 et subiicient in altari ignem, strue lignorum ante composita:

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

8 et membra quæ sunt cæsa, desuper ordinantes, caput videlicet, et cuncta quæ adhærent iecori,

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

9 intestinis et pedibus lotis aqua: adolebitque ea sacerdos super altare in holocaustum et suavem odorem Domino.

But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD.

10 Quod si de pecoribus oblatio est, de ovibus sive de capris holocaustum, masculum absque macula offeret:

And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.

11 immolabitque ad latus altaris, quod respicit ad Aquilonem, coram Domino: sanguinem vero illius fundent super altare filii Aaron per circuitum:

And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle his blood around upon the altar.

12 dividentque membra, caput, et omnia quæ adhærent iecori: et ponent super ligna, quibus subiiciendus est ignis:

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 intestina vero et pedes lavabunt aqua. Et oblata omnia adolebit sacerdos super altare in holocaustum et odorem suavissimum Domino.

But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD.

14 Si autem de avibus, holocausti oblatio fuerit Domino, de turturibus, aut pullis columbæ,

And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD shall be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.

15 offeret eam sacerdos ad altare: et retorto ad collum capite, ac rupto vulneris loco, decurrere faciet sanguinem super crepidinem altaris:

And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:

16 vesiculam vero gutturis, et plumas proiiciet prope altare ad orientalem plagam, in loco in quo cineres effundi solent,

And he shall pluck away its crop with its feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:

17 confringetque ascellas eius, et non secabit, neque ferro dividet eam, et adolebit super altare, lignis igne supposito. Holocaustum est et oblatio suavissimi odoris Domino.

And he shall cleave it with its wings, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD.
