< 利未記 5 >
1 若有人詛咒的誓言,能為所見所知的事作證而不肯聲明,就犯了罪,應負罪咎;
And if anyone does wrong by saying nothing when he is put under oath as a witness of something he has seen or had knowledge of, then he will be responsible:
2 或有人誤觸了什麼不潔之物,不論是不潔野獸的屍體,或是不潔家畜的屍體,或是不節昆蟲的屍體,而未發覺,以後發覺自己成為不潔的,因而有罪;
If anyone becomes unclean through touching unconsciously some unclean thing, such as the dead body of an unclean beast or of unclean cattle or of any unclean animal which goes flat on the earth, he will be responsible:
3 或有人誤摸了人的不潔,任何能玷污人的不潔,而未發覺,以後發覺,就有了罪;
Or if he becomes unclean through touching unconsciously any unclean thing of man, whatever it may be, when it is made clear to him he will be responsible:
4 或有人出言輕易發了誓,或懷惡意,或懷善意,人無論在什麼事上輕易發了誓,當時未發覺,而以後發覺自己在某些事上有了罪;
Or if anyone, without thought, takes an oath to do evil or to do good, whatever he says without thought, with an oath, having no knowledge of what he is doing; when it becomes clear to him, he will be responsible for any of these things.
5 那麼幾時他發覺在上述某件事上有了罪,就該承認自己所犯的罪,
And whoever is responsible for any such sin, let him make a statement openly of his wrongdoing;
6 為賠補所犯的罪,應由羊群中取一隻母羊或綿羊,或山羊,獻給上主作贖罪祭,司祭應為他的罪行贖罪禮。
And take to the Lord the offering for the wrong which he has done, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin-offering, and the priest will take away his sin.
7 如果他的財力不足辦一隻羊,為賠補所犯的罪,應獻給上主兩隻班鳩或兩隻雛鴿:一隻做為贖罪祭,一隻做為全燔祭。
And if he has not money enough for a lamb, then let him give, for his offering to the Lord, two doves or two young pigeons; one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering.
8 將牠們交給司祭;司祭應先奉獻那作贖罪祭的一隻,掐住脖子扭斷牠的頭,卻不可分離;
And let him take them to the priest, who will first give the sin-offering, twisting off its head from its neck, but not cutting it in two;
9 然後取些贖罪祭犧牲的血,灑在祭壇壁上,其餘的血都擠在祭檀腳旁:這是贖罪祭。
And he is to put drops of the blood of the offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar; it is a sin-offering.
10 至於第二隻:照全燔祭的儀式獻作全墦祭。司祭這樣為他所犯的罪行贖罪禮,他方可獲得罪赦。
And the second is for a burned offering, in agreement with the law; and the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness.
11 如果他的財力連兩隻班鳩或兩隻雛鴿也不能備辦,為賠補所犯的罪,應獻十分之一「厄法」細麵,作贖罪祭祭品,上面不可倒油,也不可放乳香,因為是贖罪祭。
But if he has not enough money for two doves or two young pigeons, then let him give, for the sin he has done, the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal, for a sin-offering; let him put no oil on it, and no perfume, for it is a sin-offering.
12 將祭品交給司祭,司祭就取出一把麵,放在祭壇上與獻給上主的火祭一同焚燒,為獲得記念:這是贖罪祭。
And let him come to the priest with it, and the priest will take some of it in his hand, to be burned on the altar as a sign, among the offerings of the Lord made by fire: it is a sin-offering.
13 司祭這樣為他所犯的罪過行贖罪禮,他方可獲得罪赦。剩下的,如素祭一樣,應歸於司祭。」贖過祭祭儀。
And the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness: and the rest of the offering will be the priest's, in the same way as the meal offering.
And the Lord said to Moses,
15 若有人有了過犯,不慎冒犯了上主的聖物,為賠補自己的過失,應從羊群中取一隻無瑕的公綿羊,依照你的估價,按聖所的幣制折合銀子,獻與上主作贖過祭。
If anyone is untrue, sinning in error in connection with the holy things of the Lord, let him take his offering to the Lord, a male sheep from the flock, without any mark, of the value fixed by you in silver by shekels, by the scale of the holy place.
16 為賠償他對聖物所犯的過失,應還另加五分之一,交給司祭。司祭應用贖過祭的公綿羊為他行贖罪禮,他方可獲得罪赦。
And he is to make payment to the priest for what he has done wrong in relation to the holy thing, together with a fifth part of its value in addition; and the priest will take away his sin by the sheep of his offering, and he will have forgiveness.
17 若有人犯了罪,不慎做了上主戒命所不許做的事,有了過犯,應負罪債,
And if anyone does wrong, and does any of the things which the Lord has given orders are not to be done, though he has no knowledge of it, still he is in the wrong and he is responsible.
18 他應照你的估價,從羊群中取一隻無瑕的公綿羊,交給司祭做贖過祭。司祭這樣為他不慎而誤犯的過失,替他行贖罪禮,他才可獲得罪赦:
Let him come to the priest with a sheep, a male without any mark out of the flock, of the value fixed by you, as an offering for his error; and the priest will take away the sin which he did in error, and he will have forgiveness.
It is an offering for his error: he is certainly responsible before the Lord.
