1 D a Tenda do Encontro o Senhor chamou Moisés e lhe ordenou:

Yahweh called to Moses, and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying,

2 “ Diga o seguinte aos israelitas: Quando alguém trouxer um animal como oferta ao Senhor, que seja do gado ou do rebanho de ovelhas.

“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When anyone of you offers an offering to Yahweh, you shall offer your offering of the livestock, from the herd and from the flock.

3 “ Se o holocausto for de gado, oferecerá um macho sem defeito. Ele o apresentará à entrada da Tenda do Encontro, para que seja aceito pelo Senhor,

“‘If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without defect. He shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, that he may be accepted before Yahweh.

4 e porá a mão sobre a cabeça do animal do holocausto para que seja aceito como propiciação em seu lugar.

He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

5 E ntão o novilho será morto perante o Senhor, e os sacerdotes, descendentes de Arão, trarão o sangue e o derramarão em todos os lados do altar, que está à entrada da Tenda do Encontro.

He shall kill the bull before Yahweh. Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

6 D epois se tirará a pele do animal, que será cortado em pedaços.

He shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into pieces.

7 E ntão os descendentes do sacerdote Arão acenderão o fogo do altar e arrumarão a lenha sobre o fogo.

The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire;

8 E m seguida arrumarão os pedaços, inclusive a cabeça e a gordura, sobre a lenha que está no fogo do altar.

and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar;

9 A s vísceras e as pernas serão lavadas com água. E o sacerdote queimará tudo isso no altar. É um holocausto, oferta preparada no fogo, de aroma agradável ao Senhor.

but its innards and its legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall burn all of it on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

10 “ Se a oferta for um holocausto do rebanho, quer de cordeiros quer de cabritos, oferecerá um macho sem defeito.

“‘If his offering is from the flock, from the sheep, or from the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer a male without defect.

11 O animal será morto no lado norte do altar, perante o Senhor; os sacerdotes, descendentes de Arão, derramarão o sangue nos lados do altar.

He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before Yahweh. Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.

12 E ntão o animal será cortado em pedaços. O sacerdote arrumará os pedaços, inclusive a cabeça e a gordura, sobre a lenha que está no fogo do altar.

He shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat. The priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar,

13 A s vísceras e as pernas serão lavadas com água. O sacerdote trará tudo isso como oferta e o queimará no altar. É um holocausto, oferta preparada no fogo, de aroma agradável ao Senhor.

but the innards and the legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

14 “ Se a sua oferta ao Senhor for um holocausto de aves, traga uma rolinha ou um pombinho.

“‘If his offering to Yahweh is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall offer his offering of turtledoves or of young pigeons.

15 O sacerdote trará a ave ao altar, destroncará o pescoço dela e a queimará, e deixará escorrer o sangue da ave na parede do altar.

The priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar;

16 E le retirará o papo com o seu conteúdo e o jogará no lado leste do altar, onde ficam as cinzas.

and he shall take away its crop with its filth, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes.

17 R asgará a ave pelas asas, sem dividi-la totalmente, e então o sacerdote a queimará sobre a lenha acesa no altar. É um holocausto, oferta preparada no fogo, de aroma agradável ao Senhor.

He shall tear it by its wings, but shall not divide it apart. The priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
