Levítico 1
1 Llamó Yahvé a Moisés y le habló desde el Tabernáculo de la Reunión, diciendo:
Yahweh called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting, saying,
2 “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.
“Speak to the people of Israel and tell them, 'When any man from among you brings an offering to Yahweh, bring as your offering one of your animals, either from the herd or from the flock.
3 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.
If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he must offer a male without blemish. He is to offer it at the entrance of the tent of meeting, so that it may be accepted before Yahweh.
4 Pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza del holocausto, y será acepto para expiación suya.
He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and then it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for himself.
5 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.
Then he must kill the bull before Yahweh. Aaron's sons, the priests, will present the blood and sprinkle it on the altar that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
6 Después será desollado el holocausto y cortado en trozos,
Then he must skin the burnt offering and cut it to pieces.
7 y los hijos de Aarón, los sacerdotes, pondrán fuego en el altar y dispondrán la leña sobre el fuego.
Then the sons of Aaron the priest will put fire on the altar and place wood to feed the fire.
8 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;
Aaron's sons, the priests, are to place the pieces, the head and the fat, in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar.
9 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.
But its inner parts and its legs he must wash with water. Then the priest will burn everything on the altar as a burnt offering. It will produce a sweet aroma for me; it will be an offering made to me by fire.
10 Si su ofrenda es de ganado menor, tomada de las ovejas o de las cabras, ofrecerá como holocausto un macho sin tacha.
If his offering for the burnt offering is from the flock, one of the sheep or one of the goats, he must offer a male without blemish.

14 Cuando ofrezca a Yahvé un holocausto de aves, será su ofrenda de tórtolas o de palominos.
If his offering to Yahweh is to be a burnt offering of birds, then he must bring as his offering either a dove or a young pigeon.

The priest must bring it to the altar, wring off its head, and burn it on the altar. Then its blood must be drained out on the side of the altar.
16 Le quitará el buche con sus suciedades y lo tirará junto al altar, al lado oriental, en el lugar de las cenizas.
He must remove its crop with its contents, and throw it beside the altar on the east side, in the place for the ashes.
17 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.
He must tear it open by its wings, but he must not divide it into two parts. Then the priest will burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It will be a burnt offering, and it will produce a sweet aroma for Yahweh; it will be an offering made to him by fire.
