Leviticus 1, Catholic Public Domain Version
Then the Lord called Moses and spoke to him from the tabernacle of the testimony, saying:
Vocavit autem Moysen, et locutus est ei Dominus de tabernaculo testimonii, dicens:
- 2
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man among you who will offer to the Lord a sacrifice from the cattle, that is, an offering of victims of oxen or sheep:
Loquere filiis Israël, et dices ad eos: Homo, qui obtulerit ex vobis hostiam Domino de pecoribus, id est, de bobus et ovibus offerens victimas,
- 3
if his offering will be a holocaust, as well as from the herd, he shall offer an immaculate male at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, to make himself pleasing to the Lord.†
si holocaustum fuerit ejus oblatio, ac de armento: masculum immaculatum offeret ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii, ad placandum sibi Dominum:
- 4
And he shall place his hand on the head of the sacrifice, and so it shall be acceptable and effective, in its expiation.
ponetque manum super caput hostiæ, et acceptabilis erit, atque in expiationem ejus proficiens.
- 5
And he shall immolate the calf in the sight of the Lord. And the priests, the sons of Aaron, shall offer its blood, pouring it all around the altar, which is before the door of the tabernacle.
Immolabitque vitulum coram Domino, et offerent filii Aaron sacerdotes sanguinem ejus, fundentes per altaris circuitum, quod est ante ostium tabernaculi:
- 6
And having pulled away the skin of the victim, they shall cut up the joints into pieces,
detractaque pelle hostiæ, artus in frusta concident.
- 7
and they shall toss fire under the altar, having arranged beforehand a stack of wood.
Et subjicient in altari ignem, strue lignorum ante composita:
- 8
And they shall lay the parts which are cut up in order upon it: namely, the head, and all the things that adjoin to the liver,
et membra quæ sunt cæsa, desuper ordinantes, caput videlicet, et cuncta quæ adhærent jecori,
- 9
the intestines and feet having been washed with water. And the priest shall burn them on the altar as a holocaust and as a sweet odor to the Lord.
intestinis et pedibus lotis aqua: adolebitque ea sacerdos super altare in holocaustum et suavem odorem Domino.
- 10
But if the offering is from the flocks, a holocaust either of sheep or goats, he shall offer a male without blemish.
Quod si de pecoribus oblatio est, de ovibus sive de capris holocaustum, masculum absque macula offeret:
- 11
And he shall immolate it at the side of the altar which looks out toward the north, in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, the sons of Aaron shall pour its blood upon the altar all around.
immolabitque ad latus altaris, quod respicit ad aquilonem, coram Domino: sanguinem vero illius fundent super altare filii Aaron per circuitum:
- 12
And they shall divide the limbs, the head, and everything that adjoins to the liver. And they shall place them on the wood, under which the fire is to be thrown.
dividentque membra, caput, et omnia quæ adhærent jecori, et ponent super ligna, quibus subjiciendus est ignis:
- 13
Yet truly, the intestines and the feet they shall wash with water. And the priest, having offered everything, shall burn it upon the altar as a holocaust and as a most sweet odor to the Lord.
intestina vero et pedes lavabunt aqua. Et oblata omnia adolebit sacerdos super altare in holocaustum et odorem suavissimum Domino.
- 14
But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord is of birds, either of turtledoves, or young pigeons,
Si autem de avibus, holocausti oblatio fuerit Domino, de turturibus, aut pullis columbæ,
- 15
the priest shall offer it at the altar: and twisting back the neck with the head, and also rupturing the place of the wound, he shall make the blood run down over the edge of the altar.
offeret eam sacerdos ad altare: et retorto ad collum capite, ac rupto vulneris loco, decurrere faciet sanguinem super crepidinem altaris:
- 16
Yet truly, the craw of the throat and the feathers he shall cast near the altar at the eastern section, in the place where the ashes are usually poured out.
vesiculam vero gutturis, et plumas projiciet prope altare ad orientalem plagam, in loco in quo cineres effundi solent,
- 17
And he shall break its wing joints, but he shall neither cut, nor divide it with metal, and he shall burn it upon the altar, placing fire under the wood. It is a holocaust and an oblation of a most sweet odor to the Lord.
confringetque ascellas ejus, et non secabit, neque ferro dividet eam, et adolebit super altare, lignis igne supposito. Holocaustum est et oblatio suavissimi odoris Domino.
