Leviticus 9
1And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel,Καὶ ἐγενήθη τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ, ἐκάλεσε Μωυσῆς Ἀαρὼν, καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν γερουσίαν Ἰσραὴλ,
2and Moses said to Aaron, Take to yourself a young calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and a ram for a whole burnt offering, unblemished, and offer them before the Lord.καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς πρὸς Ἀαρών, λάβε σεαυτῷ μοσχάριον ἐκ βοῶν περὶ ἁμαρτίας, καὶ κριὸν εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα, ἄμωμα, καὶ προσένεγκε αὐτὰ ἔναντι Κυρίου.
3And speak to the elders of Israel, saying, Take one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and a young calf, and a lamb of a year old for a whole burnt offering, spotless,Καὶ τῇ γερουσίᾳ Ἰσραὴλ λάλησον, λέγων, λάβετε χίμαρον ἐξ αἰγῶν ἕνα περὶ ἁμαρτίας, καὶ μοσχάριον, καὶ ἀμνὸν ἐνιαύσιον εἰς ὁλοκάρπωσιν, ἄμωμα,
4and a calf and a ram for a peace offering before the Lord, and fine flour mingled with oil, for today the Lord will appear among you.καὶ μόσχον, καὶ κριὸν εἰς θυσίαν σωτηρίου ἔναντι Κυρίου, καὶ σεμίδαλιν πεφυραμένην ἐν ἐλαίῳ· ὅτι σήμερον Κύριος ὀφθήσεται ἐν ὑμῖν.
5And they took as Moses commanded them before the tabernacle of witness, and all the congregation drew near, and they stood before the Lord.Καὶ ἔλαβον καθὸ ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς ἀπέναντι τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου· καὶ προσῆλθε πᾶσα συναγωγὴ, καὶ ἔστησαν ἔναντι Κυρίου.
6And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord has spoken; do it, and the glory of the Lord shall appear among you.Καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς, τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμα, ὃ εἶπε Κύριος, ποιήσατε, καὶ ὀφθήσεται ἐν ὑμῖν ἡ δόξα Κυρίου.
7And Moses said to Aaron, Draw near to the altar, and offer your sin-offering, and your whole burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself, and for your house; and offer the gifts of the people, and make atonement for them, as the Lord commanded Moses.Καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς τῷ Ἀαρὼν, πρόσελθε πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον, καὶ ποίησον τὸ περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας σου, καὶ τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμά σου, καὶ ἐξίλασαι περὶ σεαυτοῦ, καὶ τοῦ οἴκου σου· καὶ ποίησον τὰ δῶρα τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ ἐξίλασαι περὶ αὐτῶν, καθάπερ ἐνετείλατο Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
8And Aaron drew near to the altar, and killed the calf of his sin-offering.Καὶ προσῆλθεν Ἀαρὼν πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον, καὶ ἔσφαξε τὸ μοσχάριον τὸ περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ.
9And the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he dipped his finger into the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and he poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar.Καὶ προσήνεγκαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀαρὼν τὸ αἷμα πρὸς αὐτόν· καὶ ἔβαψε τὸν δάκτυλον εἰς τὸ αἷμα, καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὰ κέρατα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου· καὶ τὸ αἷμα ἐξέχεεν ἐπὶ τὴν βάσιν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου.
10And he offered up on the altar the fat and the kidneys and the lobe of the liver of the sin-offering, according as the Lord commanded Moses.Καὶ τὸ στέαρ καὶ τοὺς νεφροὺς καὶ τὸν λοβὸν τοῦ ἥπατος τοῦ περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας ἀνήνεγκεν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον, ὃν τρόπον ἐνετείλατο Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
11And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire outside of the camp.Καὶ τὰ κρέα καὶ τὴν βύρσαν κατέκαυσεν αὐτὰ πυρὶ, ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς.
12And he killed the whole burnt offering; and the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he poured it on the altar round about.Καὶ ἔσφαξε τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα· καὶ προσήνεγκαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀαρὼν τὸ αἷμα πρὸς αὐτόν· καὶ προσέχεεν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον κύκλῳ.
13And they brought the whole burnt offering, according to its pieces; them and the head he put upon the altar.Καὶ τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα προσήνεγκαν αὐτὸ κατὰ μέλη· αὐτὰ καὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον.
14And he washed the belly and the feet with water, and he put them on the whole burnt offering on the altar.Καὶ ἔπλυνε τὴν κοιλίαν καὶ τοὺς πόδας ὕδατι· καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον.
15And he brought the gift of the people, and took the goat of the sin-offering of the people, and killed it, and purified it as also the first.Καὶ προσήνεγκε τὸ δῶρον τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ ἔλαβε τὸν χίμαρον τὸν περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ ἔσφαξεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐκαθάρισεν αὐτὸν, καθὰ καὶ τὸν πρῶτον.
16And he brought the whole burnt offering, and offered it in due form.Καὶ προσήνεγκε τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα, καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτὸ ὡς καθήκει.
17And he brought the sacrifice and filled his hands with it, and laid it on the altar, besides the morning whole burnt offering.Καὶ προσήνεγκε τὴν θυσίαν, καὶ ἔπλησε τὰς χεῖρας ἀπʼ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον χωρὶς τοῦ ὁλοκαυτώματος τοῦ πρωϊνοῦ.
18And he killed the calf, and the ram of the sacrifice of peace-offering of the people; and the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he poured it out on the altar round about.Καὶ ἔσφαξε τὸν μόσχον, καὶ τὸν κριὸν τῆς θυσίας τοῦ σωτηρίου τῆς τοῦ λαοῦ· καὶ προσήνεγκαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀαρὼν τὸ αἷμα πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ προσέχεε πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον κύκλῳ,
19And he took the fat of the calf, and the hind quarters of the ram, and the fat covering the belly, and the two kidneys, and the fat upon them, and the caul on the liver.καὶ τὸ στέαρ τὸ ἀπὸ τοῦ μόσχου, καὶ τοῦ κριοῦ τὴν ὀσφὺν, καὶ τὸ στέαρ τὸ κατακαλύπτον ἐπὶ τῆς κοιλίας, καὶ τοὺς δύο νεφροὺς, καὶ τὸ στέαρ τὸ ἐπʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ τὸν λοβὸν τὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ ἥπατος.
20And he put the fat on the breasts, and offered the fat on the altar.Καὶ ἐπέθηκε τὰ στέατα ἐπὶ τὰ στηθύνια καὶ ἀνήνεγκε τὰ στέατα ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον.
21And Aaron separated the breast and the right shoulder as a choice-offering before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.Καὶ τὸ στηθύνιον, καὶ τὸν βραχίονα τὸν δεξιὸν ἀφεῖλεν Ἀαρὼν ἀφαίρεμα ἔναντι Κυρίου, ὃν τρόπον συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
22And Aaron lifted up his hands on the people and blessed them; and after he had offered the sin-offering, and the whole burnt offerings, and the peace-offerings, he came down.Καὶ ἐξάρας Ἀαρὼν τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν, εὐλόγησεν αὐτούς· καὶ κατέβη ποιήσας τὸ περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας, καὶ τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα, καὶ τὰ τοῦ σωτηρίου.
23And Moses and Aaron entered into the tabernacle of witness. And they came out and blessed all the people, and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.Καὶ εἰσῆλθε Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρὼν εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου· καὶ ἐξελθόντες εὐλόγησαν πάντα τὸν λαὸν· καὶ ὤφθη δόξα Κυρίου παντὶ τῷ λαῷ.
24And fire came forth from the Lord, and devoured the offerings on the altar, both the whole burnt offerings and the fat; and all the people saw, and were amazed, and fell upon their faces.Καὶ ἐξῆλθε πῦρ παρὰ Κυρίου, καὶ κατέφαγε τὰ ἐπὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, τά τε ὁλοκαυτώματα, καὶ τὰ στέατα· καὶ εἶδε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς, καὶ ἐξέστη, καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον.
