1 Y LLAMO Jehová á Moisés, y habló con él desde el tabernáculo del testimonio, diciendo:

Then the Lord called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting, saying,

2 H abla á los hijos de Israel, y diles: Cuando alguno de entre vosotros ofreciere ofrenda á Jehová, de ganado vacuno ú ovejuno haréis vuestra ofrenda.

“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.

3 S i su ofrenda fuere holocausto de vacas, macho sin tacha lo ofrecerá: de su voluntad lo ofrecerá á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio delante de Jehová.

If 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.

4 Y pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza del holocausto; y él lo aceptará para expiarle.

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

5 E ntonces degollará el becerro en la presencia de Jehová; y los sacerdotes, hijos de Aarón, ofrecerán la sangre, y la rociarán alrededor sobre el altar, el cual está á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio.

He 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.

6 Y desollará el holocausto, y lo dividirá en sus piezas.

He shall then skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces.

7 Y los hijos de Aarón sacerdote pondrán fuego sobre el altar, y compondrán la leña sobre el fuego.

The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.

8 L uego los sacerdotes, hijos de Aarón, acomodarán las piezas, la cabeza y el redaño, sobre la leña que está sobre el fuego, que habrá encima del altar:

Then 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.

9 Y lavará con agua sus intestinos y sus piernas: y el sacerdote hará arder todo sobre el altar: holocausto es, ofrenda encendida de olor suave á Jehová.

Its 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.

10 Y si su ofrenda para holocausto fuere de ovejas, de los corderos, ó de las cabras, macho sin defecto lo ofrecerá.

‘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.

11 Y ha de degollarlo al lado septentrional del altar delante de Jehová: y los sacerdotes, hijos de Aarón, rociarán su sangre sobre el altar alrededor.

He 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.

12 Y lo dividirá en sus piezas, con su cabeza y su redaño; y el sacerdote las acomodará sobre la leña que está sobre el fuego, que habrá encima del altar;

He 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.

13 Y lavará sus entrañas y sus piernas con agua; y el sacerdote lo ofrecerá todo, y harálo arder sobre el altar; holocausto es, ofrenda encendida de olor suave á Jehová.

The 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.

14 Y si el holocausto se hubiere de ofrecer á Jehová de aves, presentará su ofrenda de tórtolas, ó de palominos.

‘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.

15 Y el sacerdote la ofrecerá sobre el altar, y ha de quitarle la cabeza, y hará que arda en el altar; y su sangre será exprimida sobre la pared del altar.

The 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.

16 Y le ha de quitar el buche y las plumas, lo cual echará junto al altar, hacia el oriente, en el lugar de las cenizas.

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

17 Y la henderá por sus alas, mas no la dividirá en dos: y el sacerdote la hará arder sobre el altar, sobre la leña que estará en el fuego; holocausto es, ofrenda encendida de olor suave á Jehová.

Then 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.
