| 1 El Señor dijo a Moisés: | 1 The LORD said to Moses, |
| 2 Transmite esta orden a Aarón y a sus hijos: Este es el ritual del holocausto que arde toda la noche sobre el altar, hasta la mañana siguiente, y por el cual el fuego del altar se mantiene encendido: | 2 "If any one sins and commits a breach of faith against the LORD by deceiving his neighbor in a matter of deposit or security, or through robbery, or if he has oppressed his neighbor |
| 3 El sacerdote se vestirá con su túnica de lino y se cubrirá con pantalones de lino. Luego recogerá las cenizas a que habrá quedado reducido el holocausto por la acción del fuego, y las depositará a un costado del altar. | 3 or has found what was lost and lied about it, swearing falsely--in any of all the things which men do and sin therein, |
| 4 Entones se cambiará las vestiduras y llevará las cenizas fuera del campamento, a un lugar puro. | 4 when one has sinned and become guilty, he shall restore what he took by robbery, or what he got by oppression, or the deposit which was committed to him, or the lost thing which he found, |
| 5 El fuego permanecerá siempre encendido sobre el altar y no deberá extinguirse. Todas las mañanas el sacerdote lo avivará con leña, dispondrá el holocausto sobre él, y hará arder las partes grasosas de los sacrificios de comunión. | 5 or anything about which he has sworn falsely; he shall restore it in full, and shall add a fifth to it, and give it to him to whom it belongs, on the day of his guilt offering. |
| 6 Un fuego perpetuo, que nunca deberá extinguirse, permanecerá encendido sobre el altar. | 6 And he shall bring to the priest his guilt offering to the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock, valued by you at the price for a guilt offering; |
| 7 Este es el ritual de la oblación, que los hijos de Aarón ofrecerán delante del Señor, frente al altar: | 7 and the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD, and he shall be forgiven for any of the things which one may do and thereby become guilty." |
| 8 El sacerdote tomará de la oblación un puñado de harina de la mejor calidad, con su aceite y con todo el incienso añadido a ella, y lo hará arder sobre el altar como un memorial para el Señor, como una ofrenda de aroma agradable. | 8 The LORD said to Moses, |
| 9 Aarón y sus hijos comerán el resto. Lo comerán sin levadura, en el recinto sagrado, o sea, en el atrio de la Carpa del Encuentro. | 9 "Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering. The burnt offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it. |
| 10 Ese resto no deberá ser cocido con levadura. Yo les doy esa parte de las ofrendas que se queman en mi honor: es una cosa santísima, lo mismo que la ofrenda por el pecado y la ofrenda de reparación. | 10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and put his linen breeches upon his body, and he shall take up the ashes to which the fire has consumed the burnt offering on the altar, and put them beside the altar. |
| 11 Podrán comerla todos los varones descendientes de Aarón, como un derecho que tendrán siempre a lo largo de las generaciones, sobre las ofrendas que se queman para el Señor. Todo lo que toque esas ofrendas quedará santificado. | 11 Then he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. |
| 12 El Señor dijo a Moisés: | 12 The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it, it shall not go out; the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and he shall lay the burnt offering in order upon it, and shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings. |
| 13 Esta es la ofrenda que Aarón y sus hijos harán al Señor, el día en que aquel reciba la unción: Presentarán la décima parte de una medida de harina de la mejor calidad –la mitad por la mañana y la mitad por la tarde– como oblación perpetua. | 13 Fire shall be kept burning upon the altar continually; it shall not go out. |
| 14 Deberá estar preparada con aceite, en una sartén; la presentarás bien embebida en aceite, la cortarás en pedazos y la ofrecerás como una oblación de aroma agradable al Señor. | 14 "And this is the law of the cereal offering. The sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, in front of the altar. |
| 15 Así deberá prepararla también el sacerdote que sea consagrado por la unción entre los hijos de Aarón, para ser su sucesor: este es un decreto del Señor, válido para siempre. La oblación deberá arder enteramente, | 15 And one shall take from it a handful of the fine flour of the cereal offering with its oil and all the frankincense which is on the cereal offering, and burn this as its memorial portion on the altar, a pleasing odor to the LORD. |
| 16 y toda oblación de un sacerdote será quemada en su totalidad: nadie la podrá comer. | 16 And the rest of it Aaron and his sons shall eat; it shall be eaten unleavened in a holy place; in the court of the tent of meeting they shall eat it. |
| 17 El Señor dijo a Moisés: | 17 It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their portion of my offerings by fire; it is a thing most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering. |
| 18 Habla en estos términos a Aarón y a sus hijos: Este es el ritual del sacrificio por el pecado: La víctima del sacrificio por el pecado deberá será inmolada en el mismo lugar en que se inmola el holocausto, delante del Señor: es una cosa santísima. | 18 Every male among the children of Aaron may eat of it, as decreed for ever throughout your generations, from the LORD's offerings by fire; whoever touches them shall become holy." |
| 19 El sacerdote que la ofrezca como sacrificio por el pecado, comerá de ella. Tendrá que ser comida en el recinto sagrado, o sea, en el atrio de la Carpa del Encuentro. | 19 The LORD said to Moses, |
| 20 Todo cuanto toque la carne de la víctima quedará santificado; y si la sangre salpica alguna vestidura, tendrás que lavar en el recinto sagrado la parte salpicada. | 20 "This is the offering which Aaron and his sons shall offer to the LORD on the day when he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular cereal offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening. |
| 21 La vasija de barro en que haya sido cocida se deberá romper; y si fue cocida en un recipiente de bronce, este será fregado y limpiado con agua. | 21 It shall be made with oil on a griddle; you shall bring it well mixed, in baked pieces like a cereal offering, and offer it for a pleasing odor to the LORD. |
| 22 Sólo podrán comer de ella los varones de la familia sacerdotal: es una cosa santísima. | 22 The priest from among Aaron's sons, who is anointed to succeed him, shall offer it to the LORD as decreed for ever; the whole of it shall be burned. |
| 23 En cambio, no se podrá comer ninguna víctima cuya sangre haya sido introducida en la Carpa del Encuentro para practicar el rito de expiación en el Santuario, sino que deberá ser consumida por el fuego. | 23 Every cereal offering of a priest shall be wholly burned; it shall not be eaten." |
| 24 The LORD said to Moses, |
| 25 "Say to Aaron and his sons, This is the law of the sin offering. In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the LORD; it is most holy. |
| 26 The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it; in a holy place it shall be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting. |
| 27 Whatever touches its flesh shall be holy; and when any of its blood is sprinkled on a garment, you shall wash that on which it was sprinkled in a holy place. |
| 28 And the earthen vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken; but if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, that shall be scoured, and rinsed in water. |
| 29 Every male among the priests may eat of it; it is most holy. |
| 30 But no sin offering shall be eaten from which any blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place; it shall be burned with fire. |
