1 T hen the Lord called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting, saying,

Ora, chamou o Senhor a Moisés e, da tenda da revelação, lhe disse:

2 “ Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When any man of you brings an offering to the Lord, you shall bring your offering of animals from the herd or the flock.

Fala aos filhos de Israel e dize-lhes: Quando algum de vós oferecer oferta ao Senhor, oferecereis as vossas ofertas do gado, isto é, do gado vacum e das ovelhas.

3 I f his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer it, a male without defect; he shall offer it at the doorway of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before the Lord.

Se a sua oferta for holocausto de gado vacum, oferecerá ele um macho sem defeito; ã porta da tenda da revelação o oferecerá, para que ache favor perante o Senhor.

4 H e shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, that it may be accepted for him to make atonement on his behalf.

Porá a sua mão sobre a cabeça do holocausto, e este será aceito a favor dele, para a sua expiação.

5 H e shall slay the young bull before the Lord; and Aaron’s sons the priests shall offer up the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

Depois imolará o novilho perante o Senhor; e os filhos de Arão, os sacerdotes, oferecerão o sangue, e espargirão o sangue em redor sobre o altar que está ã porta da tenda da revelação.

6 H e shall then skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces.

Então esfolará o holocausto, e o partirá nos seus pedaços.

7 T he sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.

E os filhos de Arão, o sacerdote, porão fogo sobre o altar, pondo em ordem a lenha sobre o fogo;

8 T hen Aaron’s sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, the head and the suet over the wood which is on the fire that is on the altar.

também os filhos de Arão, os sacerdotes, porão em ordem os pedaços, a cabeça e a gordura, sobre a lenha que está no fogo em cima do altar;

9 I ts entrails, however, and its legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall offer up in smoke all of it on the altar for a burnt offering, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the Lord.

a fressura, porém, e as pernas, ele as lavará com água; e o sacerdote queimará tudo isso sobre o altar como holocausto, oferta queimada, de cheiro suave ao Senhor.

10 ‘ But if his offering is from the flock, of the sheep or of the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer it a male without defect.

Se a sua oferta for holocausto de gado miúdo, seja das ovelhas seja das cabras, oferecerá ele um macho sem defeito,

11 H e shall slay it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.

e o imolará ao lado do altar que dá para o norte, perante o Senhor; e os filhos de Arão, os sacerdotes, espargirão o sangue em redor sobre o altar.

12 H e shall then cut it into its pieces with its head and its suet, and the priest shall arrange them on the wood which is on the fire that is on the altar.

Então o partirá nos seus pedaços, juntamente com a cabeça e a gordura; e o sacerdote os porá em ordem sobre a lenha que está no fogo sobre o altar;

13 T he entrails, however, and the legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall offer all of it, and offer it up in smoke on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the Lord.

a fressura, porém, e as pernas, ele as lavará com água; e o sacerdote oferecerá tudo isso, e o queimará sobre o altar; holocausto é, oferta queimada, de cheiro suave ao Senhor.

14 ‘ But if his offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall bring his offering from the turtledoves or from young pigeons.

Se a sua oferta ao Senhor for holocausto tirado de aves, então de rolas ou de pombinhos oferecerá a sua oferta.

15 T he priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head and offer it up in smoke on the altar; and its blood is to be drained out on the side of the altar.

E o sacerdote a trará ao altar, tirar-lhe-á a cabeça e a queimará sobre o altar; e o seu sangue será espremido na parede do altar;

16 H e shall also take away its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the altar eastward, to the place of the ashes.

e o seu papo com as suas penas tirará e o lançará junto ao altar, para o lado do oriente, no lugar da cinza;

17 T hen he shall tear it by its wings, but shall not sever it. And the priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar on the wood which is on the fire; it is a burnt offering, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the Lord.

e fendê-la-á junto
