Leviticus 2
New International Reader's Version
Rules for Grain Offerings
2 “ ‘Suppose anyone brings a grain offering to the Lord. Then their offering must be made out of the finest flour. They must pour olive oil on it. They must also put incense on it. 2 They must take it to the priests in Aaron’s family line. A priest must take a handful of the flour and oil. He must mix them with all the incense. Then he must burn that part on the altar. It will be a reminder that all good things come from the Lord. It is a food offering. Its smell pleases the Lord. 3 The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and to the priests in his family line. It is a very holy part of the food offerings presented to the Lord.
4 “ ‘If you bring a grain offering baked in an oven, make it out of the finest flour. It can be thick loaves of bread made without yeast. Mix them with olive oil. Or it can be thin loaves of bread that are made without yeast. Spread olive oil on them. 5 If your grain offering is cooked on a metal plate, make your offering out of the finest flour. Mix it with oil. Make it without yeast. 6 Break it into pieces. Pour oil on it. It is a grain offering. 7 If your grain offering is cooked in a pan, make your offering out of the finest flour and some olive oil. 8 Bring to the Lord your grain offering made out of all these things. Give it to the priest. He must take it to the altar. 9 All good things come from the Lord. The priest must take out the part of the grain offering that reminds you of this. He must burn it on the altar. It is a food offering. Its smell pleases the Lord. 10 The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and the priests in his family line. It is a very holy part of the food offerings presented to the Lord.
11 “ ‘Every grain offering you bring to the Lord must be made without yeast. You must not add any yeast or honey to a food offering presented to the Lord. 12 You can bring them to the Lord as an offering of the first share of food you gather or produce. But they must not be offered on the altar as a pleasant smell. 13 Put salt on all your grain offerings. Salt stands for the lasting covenant between you and your God. So do not leave it out of your grain offerings. Add salt to all your offerings.
14 “ ‘Suppose you bring to the Lord a grain offering of the first share of your food. Then offer crushed heads of your first grain that have been cooked in fire. 15 Put olive oil and incense on the grain. It is a grain offering. 16 The priest must burn part of the crushed grain and the oil. It will remind you that all good things come from the Lord. The priest must burn it together with all the incense. It is a food offering presented to the Lord.
Leviticus 2
World English Bible
2 “‘When anyone offers an offering of a meal offering to Yahweh, his offering shall be of fine flour. He shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it. 2 He shall bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests. He shall take his handful of its fine flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense, and the priest shall burn its memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh. 3 That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is a most holy part of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire.
4 “‘When you offer an offering of a meal offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. 5 If your offering is a meal offering made on a griddle, it shall be of unleavened fine flour, mixed with oil. 6 You shall cut it in pieces, and pour oil on it. It is a meal offering. 7 If your offering is a meal offering of the pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 8 You shall bring the meal offering that is made of these things to Yahweh. It shall be presented to the priest, and he shall bring it to the altar. 9 The priest shall take from the meal offering its memorial, and shall burn it on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh. 10 That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is a most holy part of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire.
11 “‘No meal offering which you shall offer to Yahweh shall be made with yeast; for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, as an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 12 As an offering of first fruits you shall offer them to Yahweh, but they shall not rise up as a pleasant aroma on the altar. 13 Every offering of your meal offering you shall season with salt. You shall not allow the salt of the covenant of your God[a] to be lacking from your meal offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt.
14 “‘If you offer a meal offering of first fruits to Yahweh, you shall offer for the meal offering of your first fruits fresh heads of grain parched with fire and crushed. 15 You shall put oil on it and lay frankincense on it. It is a meal offering. 16 The priest shall burn as its memorial part of its crushed grain and part of its oil, along with all its frankincense. It is an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

Leviticus 2
King James Version
2 And when any will offer a meat offering unto the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:
2 And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord:
3 And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.
4 And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
5 And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
6 Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering.
7 And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in the fryingpan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
8 And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the Lord: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.
9 And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
10 And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.
11 No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the Lord, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the Lord made by fire.
12 As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the Lord: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.
13 And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.
14 And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the Lord, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears.
15 And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering.
16 And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
Levitiku 2
Albanian Bible
2 "Kur dikush i sjell si fli Zotit një blatim, oferta e tij të jetë nga maja e miellit; le të derdhë vaj mbi të dhe t’i vërë temjan sipër.
2 Do t’ia çojë priftërinjve, bijve të Aaronit; prifti do të marrë prej saj një grusht majë mielli dhe vaji me gjithë temjanin dhe do ta tymosë mbi altar si kujtim. Éshtë një flijim i bërë me zjarr me erë të këndshme për Zotin.
3 Ajo që mbetet nga blatimi do të jetë për Aaronin dhe bijtë e tij; është një gjë shumë e shenjtë e bërë me zjarr për Zotin.
4 Kur çon si fli një blatim ushqimesh të pjekura në furrë, do të jetë me kulaç prej maje mielli, pa maja, të zëna me vaj dhe me revani pa maja të lyer me vaj.
5 Por në qoftë se ofrimi jote është një blatim ushqimi të pjekur në skarë, do të jetë prej majës së miellit të përzier me vaj dhe pa maja.
6 Do ta ndash në copa dhe do të derdhësh vaj mbi të; është një blatim ushqimor.
7 Por në rast se flija jote është një blatim ushqimi i gatuar në tigan, do të jetë prej majës së miellit me vaj.
8 Do t’i çosh Zotit blatimin ushqimor të përgatitur me këto gjëra; do t’i paraqitet priftit, që do ta çojë në altar.
9 Prifti do të marrë nga blatimi pjesën që do të shërbejë si kujtim dhe do ta tymosë mbi altar. Éshtë një flijim i bërë me zjarr me erë të këndshme për Zotin.
10 Ajo që mbetet nga blatimi i ushqimit do të jetë për Aaronin dhe bijtë e tij; është një gjë shumë e shenjtë ndër flijimet e bëra me zjarr për Zotin.
11 Çdo blatim ushqimor që do t’i çoni Zotit do të jetë pa maja, sepse nuk do të tymosni asgjë që përmban maja ose mjaltë, si flijim që bëhet me zjarr për Zotin.
12 Mund t’ia çoni Zotit si një blatim të prodhimeve të para, por ato nuk do të vihen mbi altarin si oferta me erë të këndshme.
13 Çdo blatim ushqimor që do të ofrosh, do ta ndreqësh me kripë; nuk do ta lësh mangut kripën nga blatimet e tua, sipas besëlidhjes me Perëndinë. Mbi të gjitha ofertat e tua do të ofrosh kripë.
14 Në rast se i ofron Zotit një blatim ushqimesh nga prodhimet e tua të para, do të ofrosh si blatim ushqimor të prodhimeve të tua të para kallinj të thekur në zjarr, kokrra gruri të shtypura nga kallinj të plotë.
15 Dhe do të vësh mbi to vaj dhe temjan; është një blatim ushqimor.
16 Pas kësaj prifti do të tymosë si kujtim një pjesë të grurit dhe një pjesë të vajit, së bashku me tërë temjanin. Éshtë një flijim i bërë me zjarr për Zotin".
