Leviticus 2
1And if a soul bring a gift, a sacrifice to the Lord, his gift shall be fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and shall put frankincense on it: it is a sacrifice.Ἐὰν δὲ ψυχὴ προσφέρῃ δῶρον θυσίαν τῷ Κυρίῳ, σεμίδαλις ἔσται τὸ δῶρον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπιχεεῖ ἐπʼ αὐτὸ ἔλαιον, καὶ ἐπιθήσει ἐπʼ αὐτὸ λίβανον· θυσία ἐστί.
2And he shall bring it to the priests the sons of Aaron: and having taken from it a handful of the fine flour with the oil, and all its frankincense, then the priest shall put the memorial of it on the altar: it is a sacrifice, an odour of sweet savor to the Lord.Καὶ οἴσει πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀαρὼν τοὺς ἱερεῖς· καὶ δραξάμενος ἀπʼ αὐτῆς πλήρη τὴν δράκα ἀπὸ τῆς σεμιδάλεως σὺν τῷ ἐλαίῳ, καὶ πάντα τὸν λίβανον αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπιθήσει ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον· θυσία ὀσμὴ εὐωδίας τῷ Κυρίῳ.
3And the remainder of the sacrifice shall be for Aaron and his sons, a most holy portion from the sacrifices of the Lord.Καὶ τὸ λοιπὸν ἀπὸ τῆς θυσίας Ἀαρὼν καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ, ἅγιον τῶν ἁγίων ἀπὸ τῶν θυσιῶν Κυρίου.
4And if he bring as a gift a sacrifice baked from the oven, a gift to the Lord of fine flour, he shall bring unleavened bread kneaded with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil.Ἐὰν δὲ προσφέρῃ δῶρον θυσίαν πεπεμμένην ἐκ κλιβάνου δῶρον Κυρίῳ ἐκ σεμιδάλεως, ἄρτους ἀζύμους πεφυραμένους ἐν ἐλαίῳ, καὶ λάγανα ἄζυμα διακεχρισμένα ἐν ἐλαίῳ.
5And if your gift be a sacrifice from a pan, it is fine flour mingled with oil, unleavened offerings.Ἐὰν δὲ θυσία ἀπὸ τηγάνου τὸ δῶρόν σου, σεμίδαλις πεφυραμένη ἐν ἐλαίῳ ἄζυμά ἐστι.
6And you shall break them into fragments and pour oil upon them: it is a sacrifice to the Lord.Καὶ διαθρύψεις αὐτὰ κλάσματα, καὶ ἐπιχεεῖς ἐπʼ αὐτὰ ἔλαιον· θυσία ἐστὶ Κυρίῳ.
7And if your gift be a sacrifice from the hearth, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.Ἐὰν δὲ θυσία ἀπὸ ἐσχάρας τὸ δῶρόν σου, σεμίδαλις ἐν ἐλαίῳ ποιηθήσεται.
8And he shall offer the sacrifice which he shall make of these to the Lord, and shall bring it to the priest.Καὶ προσοίσει τὴν θυσίαν ἣν ἂν ποιήσῃ ἐκ τούτων τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ προσοίσει πρὸς τὸν ἱερέα.
9And the priest shall approach the altar, and shall take away from the sacrifice a memorial of it, and the priest shall place it on the altar: a burnt offering, a smell of sweet savor to the Lord.Καὶ προσεγγίσας πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον, ἀφελεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς ἀπὸ τῆς θυσίας τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπιθήσει ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον, κάρπωμα· ὀσμὴ εὐωδίας Κυρίῳ.
10And that which is left of the sacrifice shall be for Aaron and his sons, most holy from the burnt offerings of the Lord.Τὸ δὲ καταλειφθὲν ἀπὸ τῆς θυσίας, Ἀαρὼν καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ, ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων ἀπὸ τῶν καρπωμάτων Κυρίου.
11You shall not leaven any sacrifice which you shall bring to the Lord; for as to any leaven, or any honey, you shall not bring of it to offer a gift to the Lord.Πᾶσαν θυσίαν, ἣν ἂν προσφέρητε Κυρίῳ, οὐ ποιήσετε ζυμωτόν· πᾶσαν γὰρ ζύμην, καὶ πᾶν μέλι οὐ προσοίσετε ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ, καρπῶσαι Κυρίῳ δῶρον.
12You shall bring them in the way of fruits to the Lord, but they shall not be offered on the altar for a sweet smelling savor to the Lord.Ἀπαρχῆς προσοίσετε αὐτὰ Κυρίῳ, ἐπὶ δὲ τὸ θυσιαστήριον οὐκ ἀναβιβασθήσεται εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας Κυρίῳ.
13And every gift of your sacrifice shall be seasoned with salt; omit not the salt of the covenant of the Lord from your sacrifices: on every gift of yours you shall offer salt to the Lord your God.Καὶ πᾶν δῶρον θυσίας ὑμῶν ἁλὶ ἁλισθήσεται· οὐ διαπαύσατε ἅλας διαθήκης Κυρίου ἀπὸ θυσιασμάτων ὑμῶν· ἐπὶ παντὸς δώρου ὑμῶν προσοίσετε Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ ὑμῶν ἅλας.
14And if you would offer a sacrifice of first fruits to the Lord, it shall be new grains ground and roasted for the Lord; so shall you bring the sacrifice of the first fruits.Ἐὰν δὲ προσφέρῃς θυσίαν πρωτογεννημάτων τῷ Κυρίῳ, νέα πεφρυγμένα χίδρα ἐρικτὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ· καὶ προσοίσεις τὴν θυσίαν τῶν πρωτογεννημάτων.
15And you shall pour oil upon it, and shall put frankincense on it: it is a sacrifice.Καὶ ἐπιχεεῖς ἐπʼ αὐτὴν ἔλαιον, καὶ ἐπιθήσεις ἐπʼ αὐτὴν λίβανον· θυσία ἐστί.
16And the priest shall offer the memorial of it taken from the grains with the oil, and all its frankincense: it is a burnt offering to the Lord.Καὶ ἀνοίσει ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς ἀπὸ τῶν χίδρων σὺν τῷ ἐλαίῳ, καὶ πάντα τὸν λίβανον αὐτῆς· κάρπωμά ἐστι Κυρίῳ.
