利未記 16
1 亞郎的兩個兒子，因擅自走近上主面前而遭受死亡；他們死後，上主訓示梅瑟，
Now the LORD spoke to Moses after the death of two of Aaron’s sons when they approached the presence of the LORD.
2 對他這樣說：」你告訴你的哥哥亞郎，不可隨時進入帳慢後的聖所，到約櫃上的贖罪蓋前去，免得在我乘雲顯現在贖罪蓋上時，遭受死亡。
And the LORD said to Moses: “Tell your brother Aaron not to enter freely into the Most Holy Place behind the veil in front of the mercy seat on the ark, or else he will die, because I appear in the cloud above the mercy seat.
3 亞郎應這樣進入聖所：帶上一隻公牛贖作贖罪祭，一隻公綿羊作全番祭；
This is how Aaron is to enter the Holy Place: with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.
4 應穿上亞麻聖長衣，身著亞麻短褲，束上一亞麻腰帶，戴上亞麻頭巾；這些都是聖衣，他用水洗身後才能穿上。
He is to wear the sacred linen tunic, with linen undergarments. He must tie a linen sash around him and put on the linen turban. These are holy garments, and he must bathe himself with water before he wears them.
5 此外，還應由以色列子民會眾，取兩隻公山羊作贖罪祭，一隻公綿羊作全番祭。
And he shall take from the congregation of Israel two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.
6 亞郎先要奉獻為自己作贖罪祭的公牛贖，替自己和家人贖罪；
Aaron is to present the bull for his sin offering and make atonement for himself and his household.
7 以後牽那兩隻公山羊來，放再會幕門口上主面前，
Then he shall take the two goats and present them before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
8 為這兩隻公羊抽籤：一籤為上主，一籤為」阿匝則耳「。
After Aaron casts lots for the two goats, one for the LORD and the other for the scapegoat,
9 亞郎將那為上主抽到的公山羊，獻作贖罪祭；
he shall present the goat chosen by lot for the LORD and sacrifice it as a sin offering.
10 至於那為」阿匝則耳「抽到的公山羊，應讓牠活著，立在上主面前，用牠行贖罪禮，放入曠野，歸於「阿匝則耳。」
But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the LORD to make atonement by sending it into the wilderness as the scapegoat.
11 於是亞郎先奉獻自己作贖罪祭得公牛贖，替自己和家人贖罪，宰殺為自己作贖罪祭的公牛贖；
When Aaron presents the bull for his sin offering and makes atonement for himself and his household, he is to slaughter the bull for his own sin offering.
12 隨後由上主面前的祭壇上，拿下盛滿紅炭的火盤，再拿一滿捧細乳香，帶進帳幔內，
Then he must take a censer full of burning coals from the altar before the LORD, and two handfuls of finely ground fragrant incense, and take them inside the veil.
13 在上主面前將乳香放在火上，使乳香的煙遮住約櫃上的贖罪蓋，免得遭受死亡。
He is to put the incense on the fire before the LORD, and the cloud of incense will cover the mercy seat above the Testimony, so that he will not die.
14 以後，取些牛血，用手指灑在贖罪蓋東面；又用手指在贖罪蓋前，灑血七次。
And he is to take some of the bull’s blood and sprinkle it with his finger on the east side of the mercy seat; then he shall sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times before the mercy seat.
15 此後，宰殺了為人民作贖罪祭的公山羊，將羊血帶進帳幔內，照灑牛血的方式，將羊血灑在贖罪蓋上和贖罪蓋的前面，
Aaron shall then slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the people and bring its blood behind the veil, and with its blood he must do as he did with the bull’s blood: He is to sprinkle it against the mercy seat and in front of it.
16 為以色列子民得不潔，和他們犯的種種罪過，給聖所取潔；給存留在他們中，為他們不潔玷汙的會幕，也舉行同樣的禮儀。
So he shall make atonement for the Most Holy Place because of the impurities and rebellious acts of the Israelites in regard to all their sins. He is to do the same for the Tent of Meeting which abides among them, because it is surrounded by their impurities.
17 當他走近聖所行贖罪禮時，直到他出來，任何人不許再會幕內。幾時他為自己，為家人，為以色列全會眾贖罪完畢，
No one may be in the Tent of Meeting from the time Aaron goes in to make atonement in the Most Holy Place until he leaves, after he has made atonement for himself, his household, and the whole assembly of Israel.
18 就出來，回到上主面前的祭壇前，為祭談行取潔禮；取些牛血汗羊血，抹在祭壇四周的角上；
Then he shall go out to the altar that is before the LORD and make atonement for it. He is to take some of the bull’s blood and some of the goat’s blood and put it on all the horns of the altar.
19 再用手指向祭壇灑血七次：這樣使祭壇免於以色列子民的不潔，而獲潔淨和祝聖。
He is to sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to cleanse it and consecrate it from the uncleanness of the Israelites.
20 為聖所、會幕及祭壇行完取潔禮後，便將那隻活公山羊牽來，
When Aaron has finished purifying the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he is to bring forward the live goat.
21 亞郎將雙手案在牠的頭上，明認以色列子民的一切罪惡，和所犯的種種過犯和罪過，全放在這公山羊頭上；然後命派定的人將牠送到曠野。
Then he is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the iniquities and rebellious acts of the Israelites in regard to all their sins. He is to put them on the goat’s head and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man appointed for the task.
22 羊負著他們種種過犯和罪惡到了荒野地方，那人應在曠野裡釋放那隻羊。
The goat will carry on itself all their iniquities into a solitary place, and the man will release it into the wilderness.
23 然後亞郎進入會幕，脫下他在聖所時穿的亞麻衣服，放在那裡，
Then Aaron is to enter the Tent of Meeting, take off the linen garments he put on before entering the Most Holy Place, and leave them there.
24 在聖地方用水洗身，在穿上自己的衣服，出來奉獻自己的全番祭和人民的全番祭，為自己和人民型贖罪禮。
He is to bathe himself with water in a holy place and put on his own clothes. Then he must go out and sacrifice his burnt offering and the people’s burnt offering to make atonement for himself and for the people.
25 贖罪祭犧牲的脂肪，應放在祭壇上焚燒。
He is also to burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.
26 那送公山羊給」阿匝則耳「的，應先洗自己的衣服，用水洗身，然後方可進入營幕。
The man who released the goat as the scapegoat must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water; afterward he may reenter the camp.
27 作贖罪祭的公牛贖和做贖罪祭的公山羊，牠們的血既帶到勝所內贖罪，皮、肉及糞，都應運到營外，用火燒了。
The bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought into the Most Holy Place to make atonement, must be taken outside the camp; and their hides, flesh, and dung must be burned up.
28 那燒的人，應先洗自己的衣服，用水洗身，然後方可進入營幕。
The one who burns them must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water, and afterward he may reenter the camp.
29 這位你們是一條永久的法令：七月初十，你們應先克己苦身，不論是本地人，或僑居在你們中間的外方人，任何勞工都不許做，
This is to be a permanent statute for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month, you shall humble yourselves and not do any work—whether the native or the foreigner who resides among you—
30 因為這一天，你們應為自己贖罪，使自己潔淨，應除去自己的種種過犯，在上主面前再成為潔淨的。
because on this day atonement will be made for you to cleanse you, and you will be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
31 這是你們全休息日的安息日，應克己苦身：這是永久的法令。
It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, that you may humble yourselves; it is a permanent statute.
32 那位受傅，被委任繼承他父親執行司祭任務的大司祭，應舉行贖罪禮。他應穿上亞麻聖衣，
The priest who is anointed and ordained to succeed his father as high priest shall make atonement. He will put on the sacred linen garments
33 為至聖所，為會幕和為祭壇型取潔禮，為眾司祭和全會眾人民行贖罪禮。
and make atonement for the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, and for the priests and all the people of the assembly.
34 每年一次，應為以色列子民，為他們種種罪過型贖罪禮：這位你們是永久的法令。」人就依照上主吩咐梅瑟的做了。
This is to be a permanent statute for you, to make atonement once a year for the Israelites because of all their sins.” And all this was done as the LORD had commanded Moses.
