利未記 4

1 上主訓示梅瑟說：

And Yahweh spake, unto Moses, saying:

2 你告訴以色列子民說：若有人不慎，誤犯了上主的禁令，做了一件不許做的事：為大司祭贖罪，

Speak thou unto the sons of Israel, saying—When any person, shall sin by mistake, departing from any of the commandments of Yahweh, as to things which should not be done, and shall do any one of them, —

3 如果是一位受傅的司祭犯了罪，連累了人民，他為這罪，應獻一頭無瑕的公牛贖，作贖罪祭。

If, the anointed priest, shall sin, so as to bring guilt upon the people, then shall he bring near for his sin which he hath committed a choice young bullock without defect, unto Yahweh as a sin-bearer.

4 將牛牽到會幕門口，到上主前，先按手在牛頭上，在上主前宰了。

And he shall bring in the bullock unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, before Yahweh, —and shall lean his hand upon the head of the bullock, and shall slay the bullock before Yahweh.

5 然後受傅的司祭取些牛血，帶進會幕，

And the anointed priest shall take of the blood of the bullock, —and bring it into the tent of meeting;

6 將手指浸在牲血裏，在上主面前向聖所帳幔灑血七次；

and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, —and sprinkle of the blood seven times, before Yahweh, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.

7 再將一些牲血，塗在會幕內上主面前的香壇四角上；其餘的牛血都應倒在會幕門口全幡祭壇腳旁。

Then shall the priest put of the blood upon the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before Yahweh, which is in the tent of meeting, —and, all the [remainder of the] blood of the bullock, shall he pour out at the base of the altar of ascending-sacrifice, which is at the entrance of the tent of meeting,

8 以後取出作贖罪的公牛贖所有的脂肪：即遮蓋內臟的脂肪，貼再內臟上所有的脂肪，

And all the fat of the sin-bearing bullock, shall he heave up therefrom, —the fat that covereth over the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards;

9 左右兩腎和兩腎上靠腰部的脂肪以及同兩腎一起取出的肝葉，

and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them which is upon the loins, —and as for the caul upon the liver, upon the kidneys, shall he remove it:

10 全照從和平祭犧牲的公牛所取出的一樣；司祭應將這一切放在全幡祭上焚燒。

just as it is heaved up from the ox of the peace-offering, —and the priest shall make of them a perfume on the altar of ascending-sacrifice,

11 至於公牛贖的皮，所有的肉、頭、腿、內臟和糞，

But, as for the skin of the bullock and all its flesh with its head and with its legs, —and its inwards, and its dung,

12 即整個公牛贖，應運到營外倒壇灰的清潔地方，放再木柴上用火焚燒：即在倒壇灰的地方將牠燃燒。為全會眾贖罪。

he shall take forth the entire bullock—unto the outside of the camp, unto a clean place unto the outpoured heap of fat-ashes, and shall burn it up on wood in the fire, —upon the outpoured heap of fat-ashes, shall it be burned up.

13 如果是全以色列會眾誤犯了過失，而會眾又沒有發覺做了上主戒命所不許做的事，因而有罪。

And, if the whole assembly of Israel, shall make a mistake, and a matter be hidden from the eyes of the convocation, —and so they do something, whereby they depart from any of the commandments of Yahweh as to things which should not be done, and become guilty;

14 當他們一發覺自己所犯的罪，會眾就應獻一頭公牛犢作贖罪祭，牽到會幕前；

and the sin shall become known, which they have committed therein, then shall the convocation bring near a choice young bullock as a sin-bearer, yea they shall bring it in. before the tent of meeting;

15 會眾的長老在上主前，按手在牛頭上，在上主前宰；

and the elders of the assembly shall lean their hands upon the head of the bullock before Yahweh, —and shall slay the bullock, before Yahweh;

16 然後受傅的司祭取些牛血帶進會幕，

and the anointed priest shall bring in of the blood of the bullock, —into the tent of meeting;

17 將手指浸在牲血裏，在上主面前向帳幔灑血七次。

and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, —and shall sprinkle of the blood seven times before Yahweh, upon the face of the veil;

18 再將一些牲血塗在會幕內上主面前的祭壇四角上；其餘的血，都應倒在會幕門口的全燔祭壇腳旁。

and, some of the blood, shall he put upon the horns of the altar which is before Yahweh, which is in the tent of meeting; and, all the [remainder of the] blood, shall he pour out at the base of the altar of ascending-sacrifice, which is at the entrance of the tent of meeting;

19 至於脂肪應完全取出，放在祭壇上焚燒。

and, as for all the fat thereof, he shall heave up therefrom, —and make a perfume at the altar.

20 處置這牛，如處置贖罪祭的公牛犢一樣處置。司祭如此為他們贖了罪，他們方可獲得罪赦。

And he shall do to the bullock, as he did to the [first] sin-bearing bullock, so shall he do with this, —and the priest shall put a propitiatory-covering over them, and it shall be forgiven them.

21 以後應將這公牛犢運到營外焚燒，如焚燒上述的公牛犢一樣：這是為會眾的贖罪祭。為首長贖罪。

And he shall take forth the bullock unto the outside of the camp, and burn it up, just as he burned up the first bullock, —the sin-bearer of the convocation, it is.

22 如果是一位首長犯了罪，不慎做了上主他的天主的誡命所不許做的事，因而有罪。

When a prince, shall sin, —and shall do something, departing from any of the commandments of Yahweh his God as to things which should not be done, by mistake and shall become aware of his guilt;

23 當他一發覺自己犯了罪，就奉獻一隻無瑕的公山羊做祭品，

or his sin wherein he hath sinned be made known unto him, then shall he bring in. as his oblation a he-goat a male without defect;

24 先按手在羊頭上，後在宰殺全燔祭犧牲的地方，在上主前將牠宰了：這是贖罪祭。

and shall lean his hand upon the head of the goat, and shall slay it in the place where they slay the ascending-sacrifice before Yahweh, —a sin-bearer, it is.

25 然後司祭用手指蘸些贖罪祭犧牲的血，塗在全燔祭祭壇四角上；其餘的血，都應倒在會幕門口的全燔祭壇腳旁。

And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-bearer with his finger, and put upon the horns of the altar of ascending-sacrifice; and, the [remainder of the] blood thereof, shall he pour out at the base of the altar of ascending-sacrifice;

26 所有的脂肪，如同和平祭犧牲的脂肪一樣，都應放在祭壇上焚燒。司祭如此為他的罪行了贖罪禮，他方可穫得罪赦。為平民贖罪

and with all the fat thereof, shall he make a perfume at the altar, as with the fat of the peace-offering, —so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him because of his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

27 如果是一個平民不慎犯了罪，做了上主的誡命所不許做的事，因而有罪。

And, if, any person, shall sin, by mistake from among the people of the land, —by his doing anything departing from any of the commandments of Yahweh, as to things which should not be done, and shall become aware of his guilt;

28 當他一發覺自己犯了罪，就應為自己所犯的罪，奉獻一隻無瑕的母山羊作祭品；

or his sin which he hath committed shall be made known unto, him, then shall he bring in, as his oblation, a kid of the goats a female, without defect, for his sin which he hath committed;

29 先按手在贖罪祭犧牲的頭上，後在宰殺全燔祭犧牲的地方，將贖罪祭犧牲宰了。

and shall lean his hand upon the head of the sin-bearer, —and shall slay the sin-bearer in the place of the ascending-sacrifice.

30 然後司祭用手蘸些牲血，塗在全燔祭壇四角上；其餘的血，都應倒在祭壇腳旁。

Then shall the priest take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put upon the horns of the altar of ascending-sacrifice, —and all the [remaining] blood thereof, shall he pour out, at the base of the altar;

31 所有的脂肪像和平祭犧牲一樣，都應取出；司祭應將這一切放在祭台上焚燒，化為中悅上主的馨香。司祭如此為他贖了罪，他方可獲得罪赦。

and all the fat thereof, shall he remove as the fat from off the peace-offering was removed, and the priest shall make a perfume at the altar, for a satisfying odour unto Yahweh, —so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him, and it shall be forgiven him.

32 如果是奉獻一隻小綿羊做為贖罪祭犧牲，應獻一隻無瑕的母羊。

And, if a lamb, he bring in. as his oblation for a sin-bearer, a female without defect, shall he bring in;

33 先按手在贖罪祭犧牲的頭上，後在宰殺全燔祭犧牲的地方宰了，作為贖罪祭。

and shall lean his hand upon the head of the sin-bearer, —and shall slay it as a sin-bearer, in the place where they slay the ascending-sacrifice.

34 司祭用手指蘸些贖罪祭犧牲的血，塗在全燔祭壇四角上；其餘的血，都應倒在祭壇腳旁。

Then shall the priest take of the blood of the sin-bearer with his finger, and put upon the horns of the altar of ascending-sacrifice, —and all the [remaining] blood thereof, shall he pour out, at the base of the altar;

35 所有的脂肪都應取出，有如由和平祭犧牲的小羊所取出的脂肪一樣。司祭應將這一切放在祭壇上，與獻給上主的火祭一同焚燒。司祭如此為他的罪行了贖罪禮，他方可獲得罪赦。

and all the fat thereof, shall he remove as the fat of the lamb is removed, from the peace-offering, and the priest shall make a perfume therewith at the altar, upon the altar-flames of Yahweh, —so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him on account of his sin which he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
