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，
The LORD spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they came near before the LORD, and died;
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 Aaron your brother not to come at just any time into the Most Holy Place within the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark; lest he die; for I will appear in the cloud on 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；
“Aaron shall come into the sanctuary 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 shall put on the holy linen tunic. He shall have the linen trousers on his body, and shall put on the linen sash, and he shall be clothed with the linen turban. They are the holy garments. He shall bathe his body in water, and 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。
He shall take from the congregation of the children 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 shall offer the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself 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，
He shall take the two goats, and set them before the LORD at the door of 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「。
Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
9 亞郎將那為上主抽到的公山羊，獻作贖罪祭；
Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the LORD, and offer him for 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 on which the lot fell for the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make atonement for him, to send him away as the scapegoat into the wilderness.
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；
“Aaron shall present the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall kill the bull of the sin offering which is for himself.
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，
He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within 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 shall put the incense on the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the covenant, 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。
He shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven 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 he shall kill the goat of the sin offering that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and before the mercy seat.
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。
He shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting that dwells with them in the middle of their uncleanness.
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 shall be in the Tent of Meeting when he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the 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；
“He shall go out to the altar that is before the LORD and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the bull’s blood, and some of the goat’s blood, and put it around on 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 shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it holy from the uncleanness 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 has finished atoning for the Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present 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。
Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send him away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is ready.
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 shall carry all their iniquities on himself to a solitary land, and he shall release the goat in 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，
“Aaron shall come into the Tent of Meeting, and shall take off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and shall 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。
Then he shall bathe himself in water in a holy place, put on his garments, and come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and 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。
The fat of the sin offering he shall burn 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。
“He who lets the goat go as the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into 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 in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried outside the camp; and they shall burn their skins, their flesh, and their dung with fire.
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。
He who burns them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into 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，
“It shall be a statute to you forever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and shall do no kind of work, whether native-born or a stranger who lives as a foreigner 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 on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you. You shall 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 solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls. It is a statute forever.
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 who is consecrated to be priest in his father’s place, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, even the holy 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。
Then he shall make atonement for the Holy Sanctuary; and he shall make atonement for the Tent of Meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the priests and for 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 shall be an everlasting statute for you, to make atonement for the children of Israel once in the year because of all their sins.” It was done as the LORD commanded Moses.
