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，

Fvrthermore the Lord spake vnto Moses, after the death of the two sonnes of Aaron, whe they came to offer before the Lord, and dyed:

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 sayd vnto Moses, Speake vnto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the Holy place within the vayle, before the Merciseate, which is vpon the Arke, that he dye not: for I wil appeare in the cloude vpon the Merciseate.

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；

After this sort shall Aaron come into the Holy place: euen with a yong bullocke for a sinne offring, and a ramme for a burnt offring.

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 shall put on the holy linnen coate, and shall haue linnen breeches vpon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linnen girdle, and shall couer his head with a linnen miter: these are the holy garments: therefore shall hee wash his flesh in water, when he doeth put them on.

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 hee shall take of the Congregation of the children of Israel, two hee goates for a sinne offring, and a ramme for a burnt offring.

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；

Then Aaron shall offer the bullocke for his sinne offring, and make an atonement for himselfe, and for his house.

7 以後牽那兩隻公山羊來，放再會幕門口上主面前，

And he shall take the two hee goates, and present them before the Lord at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

8 為這兩隻公羊抽籤：一籤為上主，一籤為」阿匝則耳「。

Then Aaron shall cast lots ouer the two hee goates: one lot for the Lord, and the other for the Scape goate.

9 亞郎將那為上主抽到的公山羊，獻作贖罪祭；

And Aaron shall offer the goat, vpon which the Lords lot shall fal, and make him a sinne offring.

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 goate, on which the lot shall fall to be the Scape goate, shalbe presented aliue before the Lord, to make reconciliation by him, and to let him go (as a Scape goate) into the wildernes.

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；

Thus Aaron shall offer the bullocke for his sinne offring, and make a reconciliation for himselfe, and for his house, and shall kill the bullocke for his sinne offring.

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，

And he shall take a censer full of burning coles from off the altar before the Lord, and his handfull of sweete incense beaten small, and bring it within the vayle,

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。

And shall put the incense vpon the fire before the Lord, that the cloude of the incense may couer the Merciseat that is vpon the Testimonie: so he shall not dye.

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 hee shall take of the blood of the bullocke, and sprinkle it with his finger vpon the Merciseat Eastward: and before the Merciseate shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seuen times.

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，

Then shall he kill the goate that is the peoples sinne offring, and bring his blood within the vaile, and doe with that blood, as he did with the blood of the bullocke, and sprinckle it vpon the Merciseate, and before the Merciseate.

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 purge the Holy place from the vncleannes of the children of Israel, and from their trespasses of all their sinnes: so shall he do also for the Tabernacle of the Cogregation placed with them, in the middes of their vncleannesse.

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，

And there shalbe no man in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, when he goeth in to make an atonement in the Holy place, vntill hee come out, and haue made an atonement for himselfe, and for his housholde, and for all the Congregation 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；

After, he shall goe out vnto the altar that is before the Lord and make a reconciliation vpon it, and shall take of the blood of the bullocke, and of the blood of the goate, and put it vpon the hornes of the Altar round about:

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。

So shall hee sprinkle of the blood vpon it with his finger seuen times, and clense it, and halowe it from the vncleannes of the children of Israel.

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 he hath made an ende of purging the Holy place, and the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the altar, then he shall bring the liue goate:

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。

And Aaron shall put both his handes vpon the head of the liue goate, and confesse ouer him al the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their trespasses, in all their sinnes, putting them vpon the head of the goate, and shall sende him away (by the hand of a man appointed) into the wildernes.

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。

So the goate shall beare vpon him all their iniquities into the land that is not inhabited, and he shall let the goate go into the wildernesse.

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，

After, Aaron shall come into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and put off the linnen clothes, which he put on when he went into the Holy place, and leaue 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。

Hee shall wash also his flesh with water in the Holy place, and put on his owne rayment, and come out, and make his burnt offring, and the burnt offring of the people, and make an atonement for himselfe, and for the people.

25 贖罪祭犧牲的脂肪，應放在祭壇上焚燒。

Also the fatte of the sinne offring shall he burne vpon 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。

And he that caried forth the goat, called the Scape goat, shall wash his clothes, and wash his flesh in water, and after that shall come into the hoste.

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。

Also the bullocke for the sinne offring, and the goate for the sinne offring (whose blood was brought to make a reconciliation in the Holy place) shall one carie out without the hoste to be burnt in the fire, with their skinnes, and with their flesh, and with their doung.

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。

And hee that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and wash his flesh in water, and afterward come into the hoste.

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，

So this shalbe an ordinance for euer vnto you: the tenth day of the seuenth moneth, yee shall humble your soules, and do no worke at all, whether it be one of the same countrey or a strager that soiourneth 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。

For that day shall ye Priest make an atonement for you to clense you: ye shalbe cleane from all your sinnes 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。

This shall be a Sabbath of rest vnto you, and ye shall humble your soules, by an ordinance for euer.

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，

And the Priest whom he shall anoynt, and whom he shall cosecrate (to minister in his fathers steade) shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linnen clothes and Holy vestments,

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 shall purge the Holy Sanctuarie and the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and shall clense the altar, and make an atonement for the Priests and for all the people of the Congregation.

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。

And this shalbe an euerlasting ordinance vnto you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sinnes once a yeere: and as the Lord commanded Moses, he did.
