利未記 16
1 亞倫的兩個兒子近到耶和華面前死了。死了之後，耶和華曉諭摩西說：
The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of two of Aaron's sons when they went into the Lord's presence.
2 「要告訴你哥哥亞倫，不可隨時進聖所的幔子內、到櫃上的施恩座前，免得他死亡，因為我要從雲中顯現在施恩座上。
The Lord told Moses: “Warn your brother Aaron not to come into the Most Holy Place whenever he wants, otherwise he'll die. For that's where I appear in the cloud above the atonement cover of the Ark, behind the veil.
3 亞倫進聖所，要帶一隻公牛犢為贖罪祭，一隻公綿羊為燔祭。
These are the instructions as to how Aaron is to enter the sanctuary. He is to come with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.
4 要穿上細麻布聖內袍，把細麻布褲子穿在身上，腰束細麻布帶子，頭戴細麻布冠冕；這都是聖服。他要用水洗身，然後穿戴。
He is to be wearing the holy linen tunic, with linen underwear. He has to tie a linen sash around him and put on the linen turban. These are holy clothes. He must wash himself with water before he puts them on.
5 要從以色列會眾取兩隻公山羊為贖罪祭，一隻公綿羊為燔祭。
From the people of Israel he is to bring two male goats for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
6 「亞倫要把贖罪祭的公牛奉上，為自己和本家贖罪；
Aaron will present the bull as his own sin offering to make himself and his household right.
7 也要把兩隻公山羊安置在會幕門口、耶和華面前，
Then he will bring the two goats and present them before the Lord at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
8 為那兩隻羊拈鬮，一鬮歸與耶和華，一鬮歸與阿撒瀉勒。
Aaron will casts lots to choose between the goats, one for the Lord and the other for the scapegoat.
9 亞倫要把那拈鬮歸與耶和華的羊獻為贖罪祭，
He will present the goat that was chosen by lot for the Lord and sacrifice it as a sin offering.
10 但那拈鬮歸與阿撒瀉勒的羊要活着安置在耶和華面前，用以贖罪，打發人送到曠野去，歸與阿撒瀉勒。
The goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat is to be presented alive before the Lord to make things right by sending it away into the wilderness as the scapegoat.
11 「亞倫要把贖罪祭的公牛牽來宰了，為自己和本家贖罪；
Aaron is to present the bull for his sin offering to make things right for himself and his household by killing the bull as his own sin offering.
12 拿香爐，從耶和華面前的壇上盛滿火炭，又拿一捧搗細的香料，都帶入幔子內，
Then he will fill up a incense burner with burning coals from the altar that is before the Lord, and with his hands full of finely-ground sweet-smelling incense, take them behind the veil.
13 在耶和華面前，把香放在火上，使香的煙雲遮掩法櫃上的施恩座，免得他死亡；
In the presence of the Lord he will put the incense on the burning coals, and the smoke from the incense will cover the atonement cover above the Testimony, so that he will not die.
14 也要取些公牛的血，用指頭彈在施恩座的東面，又在施恩座的前面彈血七次。
He will take some of the bull's blood and with his finger sprinkle it on the east side of the atonement cover. He shall also sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times in front of the atonement cover.
15 「隨後他要宰那為百姓作贖罪祭的公山羊，把羊的血帶入幔子內，彈在施恩座的上面和前面，好像彈公牛的血一樣。
Then Aaron will 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 他因以色列人諸般的污穢、過犯，就是他們一切的罪愆，當這樣在聖所行贖罪之禮，並因會幕在他們污穢之中，也要照樣而行。
This is how he will set right the Most Holy Place and purify it from the uncleanness of the Israelites, their acts of rebellion, and all their sins. He will do the same for the Tent of Meeting which is in the middle of their camp, surrounded by their unclean lives.
17 他進聖所贖罪的時候，會幕裏不可有人，直等到他為自己和本家並以色列全會眾贖了罪出來。
No one can be in the Tent of Meeting from the time Aaron enters to purify the Most Holy Place until he leaves, after he has made things right for himself, his household, and all the Israelites.
18 他出來，要到耶和華面前的壇那裏，在壇上行贖罪之禮，又要取些公牛的血和公山羊的血，抹在壇上四角的周圍；
Then he shall go to the altar that is before the Lord and purify it. He is to take some of the blood from the bull and the goat and put it on all the horns of the altar.
19 也要用指頭把血彈在壇上七次，潔淨了壇，從壇上除掉以色列人諸般的污穢，使壇成聖。」
He is to sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to dedicate it and purify it from the uncleanness of the Israelites.
20 「亞倫為聖所和會幕並壇獻完了贖罪祭，就要把那隻活着的公山羊奉上。
Once Aaron has finished purifying the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he is to present the live goat.
21 兩手按在羊頭上，承認以色列人諸般的罪孽過犯，就是他們一切的罪愆，把這罪都歸在羊的頭上，藉着所派之人的手，送到曠野去。
Then he will put both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wrongs of the Israelites, all their acts of rebellion, and all their sins. He is to put them on the goat's head and send it away into the desert, taken there by a man chosen to do it.
22 要把這羊放在曠野，這羊要擔當他們一切的罪孽，帶到無人之地。
The goat will take upon itself all their sins and go into a distant place, and the man will send it away into the desert.
23 「亞倫要進會幕，把他進聖所時所穿的細麻布衣服脫下，放在那裏，
Aaron is to return to the Tent of Meeting, take off the linen clothes he put on before he went into the Most Holy Place, and leave them there.
24 又要在聖處用水洗身，穿上衣服，出來，把自己的燔祭和百姓的燔祭獻上，為自己和百姓贖罪。
He is to wash himself with water in the sanctuary and put on his own clothes. Then he will go out and sacrifice his burnt offering and the people's burnt offering that makes him and the people right.
25 贖罪祭牲的脂油要在壇上焚燒。
He also must burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.
26 那放羊歸與阿撒瀉勒的人要洗衣服，用水洗身，然後進營。
The man who went and sent away the scapegoat must wash his clothes and wash himself with water; then he may come back into the camp.
27 作贖罪祭的公牛和公山羊的血既帶入聖所贖罪，這牛羊就要搬到營外，將皮、肉、糞用火焚燒。
The remains of the bull used for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought into the Most Holy Place to purify it, must be taken outside the camp. Their skin, meat, and waste must be burned.
28 焚燒的人要洗衣服，用水洗身，然後進營。」
The person who burns them must wash his clothes and wash himself with water; then he may come back into the camp.
29 「每逢七月初十日，你們要刻苦己心，無論是本地人，是寄居在你們中間的外人，甚麼工都不可做；這要作你們永遠的定例。
This regulation applies to you for all time. The tenth day of the seventh month is a day of self-denial for you. You are not to do any work. This applies to all who are native-born and also any foreigner who living among you,
30 因在這日要為你們贖罪，使你們潔淨。你們要在耶和華面前得以潔淨，脫盡一切的罪愆。
for on this day the process of making you right will be done, to make you clean from all your sins, clean before the Lord.
31 這日你們要守為聖安息日，要刻苦己心；這為永遠的定例。
It is a Sabbath of Sabbaths, a day of rest and self-denial. This regulation applies for all time.
32 那受膏、接續他父親承接聖職的祭司要穿上細麻布的聖衣，行贖罪之禮。
The priest who is anointed and dedicated to succeed his father as high priest shall carry out the ceremony of making things right, and put on the holy linen clothes.
33 他要在至聖所和會幕與壇行贖罪之禮，並要為眾祭司和會眾的百姓贖罪。
He will carry out the purification of the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, also making right the priests and all the people.
34 這要作你們永遠的定例－就是因以色列人一切的罪，要一年一次為他們贖罪。」 於是，亞倫照耶和華所吩咐摩西的行了。
This regulation applies to you for all time: once a year the Israelites have all their sins made right.” Moses did everything as the Lord had ordered.
