¹ "Ovo je obred koji ćeš obaviti na njima da ih posvetiš za moje svećenike: Uzmi jednog junca i dva ovna bez mane;

² onda beskvasnoga kruha, beskvasnih kolača zamiješenih u ulju i beskvasnih prevrta uljem namazanih. Napravi ih od bijeloga pšeničnog brašna.

³ Naslaži ih u košaricu i u košarici prinesi ih s juncem i oba ovna."

⁴ "Dovedi Arona i njegove sinove k ulazu u Šator sastanka i operi ih u vodi.

⁵ Zatim uzmi odijelo i obuci Arona u košulju; stavi na nj ogrtač oplećka, oplećak i naprsnik i opaši ga tkanicom oplećka.

⁶ Ustakni mu mitru na glavu; na mitru stavi sveti vijenac.

⁷ Uzmi zatim ulja za pomazanje; izlij na njegovu glavu i pomaži ga.

⁸ Onda dovedi njegove sinove; obuci ih u košulje;

⁹ opaši ih u pasove i obvij im turbane. Svećeništvo neka im pripada vječnom uredbom. Tako posveti Arona i njegove sinove!"

¹⁰ "Dovedi zatim junca pred Šator sastanka, pa neka Aron i njegovi sinovi stave ruke juncu na glavu.

¹¹ Onda pred Jahvom, na ulazu u Šator sastanka, junca zakolji.

¹² Uzmi junčeve krvi i svojim je prstom stavi na rogove žrtvenika. Ostatak krvi izlij podno žrtvenika.

¹³ Uzmi sav loj oko droba, privjesak na jetri i oba bubrega s lojem oko njih, pa spali na žrtveniku.

¹⁴ Meso od junca, njegovu kožu i njegovu nečist spali na vatri izvan taborišta. To je žrtva okajnica.

¹⁵ Poslije toga uzmi jednoga ovna, pa neka Aron i njegovi sinovi stave na njegovu glavu svoje ruke.

¹⁶ Onda ovna zakolji, uhvati mu krvi i zapljusni njome žrtvenik sa svih strana.

¹⁷ Isijeci zatim ovna u komade, operi mu drobinu i noge i položi ih na njegove ostale dijelove i glavu.

¹⁸ I onda cijeloga ovna spali na žrtveniku. Žrtva je to paljenica u čast Jahvi, miris ugodan, žrtva ognjena.

¹⁹ Uzmi onda drugoga ovna, pa neka Aron i njegovi sinovi stave svoje ruke ovnu na glavu.

²⁰ Sad ovna zakolji; uzmi mu krvi i njome namaži resicu desnoga Aronova uha, resicu desnog uha njegovim sinovima, palac na njihovoj desnoj ruci pa palac na njihovoj desnoj nozi. Ostatkom krvi zapljusni žrtvenik naokolo.

²¹ Uzmi onda krvi što je ostala na žrtveniku i ulja za pomazanje i poškropi Arona i njegovo odijelo, njegove sinove i njihova odijela. Tako će biti posvećen on i njegovo odijelo, njegovi sinovi i odijela njegovih sinova."

²² "Poslije toga uzmi s ovna loj, pretili rep, loj oko droba, privjesak s jetre, oba bubrega i loj oko njih; desno pleće - jer je to ovan prinesen za svećeničko posvećenje -

²³ zatim jedan okrugli kruh, jedan kolač na ulju i jednu prevrtu iz košarice beskvasnoga kruha što je pred Jahvom.

²⁴ Sve to stavi na ruke Arona i njegovih sinova i prinesi žrtvu prikaznicu pred Jahvom.

²⁵ Uzmi ih onda s njihovih ruku i spali na žrtveniku, povrh žrtve paljenice, da bude Jahvi na ugodan miris. To je paljena žrtva u čast Jahvi.

²⁶ Zatim uzmi grudi ovna prinesena za Aronovo posvećenje i prinesi ih kao žrtvu prikaznicu pred Jahvom. Neka to bude tvoj dio.

²⁷ Posveti grudi što su bile prinesene kao žrtva prikaznica i pleće što je bilo prineseno kao žrtva podizanica od ovna prinesena za posvećenje Arona i njegovih sinova.

²⁸ Neka to bude pristojba Aronu i njegovim potomcima od Izraelaca za sva vremena. TÓa to je ujam koji će Izraelci davati od svojih pričesnica - ujam koji Jahvi pripada.

²⁹ Aronova posvećena odijela neka pripadnu njegovim sinovima poslije njega da u njima budu pomazani i posvećeni.

³⁰ Sin koji postane svećenikom mjesto njega, kad uđe u Šator sastanka da vrši službu u Svetištu, neka ih nosi sedam dana."

³¹ "Uzmi onda ovna za posvećenje i skuhaj njegovo meso na posvećenome mjestu.

³² Aron i njegovi sinovi neka blaguju meso od toga ovna i kruh iz košarice na ulazu u Šator sastanka.

³³ Neka jedu od onoga što je poslužilo za njihovo očišćenje, da im se ruke ispune vlašću i da budu posvećeni. Nijedan svjetovnjak neka ne jede od toga jer je posvećeno.

³⁴ Ako bi ostalo što mesa od svećeničkog posvećenja ili što od onoga kruha do ujutro, spali na vatri. Ne smije se pojesti jer je posvećeno."

³⁵ "Točno tako učini Aronu i njegovim sinovima kako sam ti naredio. Posvećuj ih sedam dana.

³⁶ Svakoga dana prinesi jednoga junca kao žrtvu okajnicu - za pomirenje. I prinesi žrtvu okajnicu za pomirenje oltara, zatim ga pomaži da bude posvećen.

³⁷ Sedam dana prinosi žrtvu pomirnicu za žrtvenik i posvećuj ga. Tako će žrtvenik postati presvet, i sve što se žrtvenika dotakne bit će posvećeno."

³⁸ "A ovo treba da prinosiš na žrtveniku: dva janjca godinu dana stara, svaki dan bez prijekida.

³⁹ Jedno janje žrtvuj ujutro, a drugo uvečer.

⁴⁰ Prinesi s prvim janjetom jednu desetinu efe bijeloga brašna zamiješena u četvrtini hina istupanog ulja i žrtvu ljevanicu od četvrtine hina vina.

⁴¹ Drugo janje prinesi u suton. S njim prinesi žrtvu prinosnicu s njezinom žrtvom ljevanicom kao i izjutra - na ugodan miris, žrtvu u čast Jahvi paljenu.

⁴² Neka to bude trajna žrtva paljenica od koljena do koljena - na ulazu u Šator sastanka, pred Jahvom. Tu ću se ja s tobom sastajati da ti govorim.

⁴³ I s Izraelcima ću se tu sastajati, i moja će ih slava posvećivati.

⁴⁴ Ja ću posvetiti Šator sastanka i žrtvenik; posvetit ću Arona i njegove sinove da mi služe kao svećenici.

⁴⁵ Ja ću prebivati među Izraelcima i biti njihov Bog.

⁴⁶ Upoznat će oni tada da sam to ja, Jahve, Bog njihov koji ih je izbavio iz zemlje egipatske da prebivam među njima - ja, Jahve, Bog njihov."

¹ "Woe to the rebellious children," says Yahweh, "who take counsel, but not from me; and who make an alliance, but not with my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,

² who set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked my advice; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!

³ Therefore the strength of Pharaoh will be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

⁴ For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.

⁵ They shall all be ashamed because of a people that can't profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach."

⁶ The burden of the animals of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, of the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches on the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to an unprofitable people.

⁷ For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I called her Rahab who sits still.

⁸ Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.

⁹ For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear the law of Yahweh;

¹⁰ who tell the seers, "Don't see!" and to the prophets, "Don't prophesy to us right things. tell us pleasant things. Prophesy deceits.

¹¹ Get out of the way. Turn aside from the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us."

¹² Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, "Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it;

¹³ therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.

¹⁴ He will break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there won't be found among the broken piece a piece good enough to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern."

¹⁵ For thus said the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, "You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence." You refused,

¹⁶ but you said, "No, for we will flee on horses;" therefore you will flee; and, "We will ride on the swift;" therefore those who pursue you will be swift.

¹⁷ One thousand will flee at the threat of One. At the threat of five, you will flee until you are left like a beacon on the top of a mountain, and like a banner on a hill.

¹⁸ Therefore Yahweh will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for Yahweh is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.

¹⁹ For the people will dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. You will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When he hears you, he will answer you.

²⁰ Though the Lord may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers won't be hidden anymore, but your eyes will see your teachers;

²¹ and when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way. Walk in it."

²² You shall defile the overlaying of your engraved images of silver, and the plating of your molten images of gold. You shall cast them away as an unclean thing. You shall tell it, "Go away!"

²³ He will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground will be rich and plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large pastures.

²⁴ The oxen likewise and the young donkeys that till the ground will eat savory provender, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.

²⁵ There shall be brooks and streams of water on every lofty mountain and on every high hill in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

²⁶ Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, in the day that Yahweh binds up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they were struck with.

²⁷ Behold, the name of Yahweh comes from far away, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire.

²⁸ His breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction; and a bridle that leads to ruin will be in the jaws of the peoples.

²⁹ You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come to Yahweh's mountain, to Israel's Rock.

³⁰ Yahweh will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the descent of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, storm, and hailstones.

³¹ For through the voice of Yahweh the Assyrian will be dismayed. He will strike him with his rod.

³² Every stroke of the rod of punishment, which Yahweh will lay on him, will be with the sound of tambourines and harps. He will fight with them in battles, brandishing weapons.

³³ For his burning place has long been ready. Yes, for the king it is prepared. He has made its pyre deep and large with fire and much wood. Yahweh's breath, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.
