< 利未記 4 >
2 「你曉諭以色列人說:若有人在耶和華所吩咐不可行的甚麼事上誤犯了一件,
“Tell the Israelites that these are the rules to handle cases of those who sin unintentionally against any of the Lord's commandments and do what is not permitted.
3 或是受膏的祭司犯罪,使百姓陷在罪裏,就當為他所犯的罪把沒有殘疾的公牛犢獻給耶和華為贖罪祭。
If it is the high priest who sins and brings guilt on everyone, he must present to the Lord a young bull without defects as a sin offering for his sin.
4 他要牽公牛到會幕門口,在耶和華面前按手在牛的頭上,把牛宰於耶和華面前。
He must take the bull to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting before the Lord, put his hand on its head and kill it before the Lord.
Then the high priest shall take some of the bull's blood into the Tent of Meeting.
6 把指頭蘸於血中,在耶和華面前對着聖所的幔子彈血七次,
The high priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the Lord in front of the veil of the sanctuary.
7 又要把些血抹在會幕內、耶和華面前香壇的四角上,再把公牛所有的血倒在會幕門口、燔祭壇的腳那裏。
The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of aromatic incense that stands before the Lord in the Tent of Meeting. The rest of the bull's blood he is to pour out at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
8 要把贖罪祭公牛所有的脂油,乃是蓋臟的脂油和臟上所有的脂油,
Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering: all the fat that covers the insides,
9 並兩個腰子和腰子上的脂油,就是靠腰兩旁的脂油,與肝上的網子和腰子,一概取下,
both kidneys with the fat on them by the loins, and the best part of the liver, which he is to remove together with the kidneys
10 與平安祭公牛上所取的一樣;祭司要把這些燒在燔祭的壇上。
in the same way as the fat is removed from the bull of the peace offering. Then the priest shall then burn this on the altar of burnt offering.
But the skin of the bull, all its flesh, head, legs, insides and waste—
12 就是全公牛,要搬到營外潔淨之地、倒灰之所,用火燒在柴上。
all the rest of it—he has to take outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean, where the ashes are dumped, and he must burn it on a wood fire there on the ash heap.
13 「以色列全會眾若行了耶和華所吩咐不可行的甚麼事,誤犯了罪,是隱而未現、會眾看不出來的,
If the whole Israelite community goes astray unintentionally, and even though they are unaware of doing what is not permitted by any of the Lord's commandments, they are all still guilty.
14 會眾一知道所犯的罪就要獻一隻公牛犢為贖罪祭,牽到會幕前。
When they realize their sin, then they must bring a young bull as a sin offering and present it before the Tent of Meeting.
15 會中的長老就要在耶和華面前按手在牛的頭上,將牛在耶和華面前宰了。
The elders of Israel are to put their hands on its head and kill it before the Lord.
Then the high priest shall take some of the bull's blood into the Tent of Meeting.
17 把指頭蘸於血中,在耶和華面前對着幔子彈血七次,
He shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front of the veil.
18 又要把些血抹在會幕內、耶和華面前壇的四角上,再把所有的血倒在會幕門口、燔祭壇的腳那裏。
He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that stands before the Lord in the Tent of Meeting. Then he is to pour out the rest of the bull's blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull and burn it on the altar.
20 收拾這牛,與那贖罪祭的牛一樣。祭司要為他們贖罪,他們必蒙赦免。
He shall offer this bull in the same way he did for the sin offering. This is how the priest will make them right, and they will be forgiven.
21 他要把牛搬到營外燒了,像燒頭一個牛一樣;這是會眾的贖罪祭。
Then he shall take the bull outside the camp and burn it, just as he burned the bull previously mentioned. It is the sin offering for the whole community.
22 「官長若行了耶和華-他上帝所吩咐不可行的甚麼事,誤犯了罪,
If a leader sins unintentionally and does what is not permitted by any of the commandments of the Lord his God, he is guilty.
23 所犯的罪自己知道了,就要牽一隻沒有殘疾的公山羊為供物,
When he realizes his sin, he must bring a male goat without defects as his offering.
24 按手在羊的頭上,宰於耶和華面前、宰燔祭牲的地方;這是贖罪祭。
He must put his hand on the head of the goat and kill it at the place where the burnt offering is killed before the Lord. It is a sin offering.
25 祭司要用指頭蘸些贖罪祭牲的血,抹在燔祭壇的四角上,把血倒在燔祭壇的腳那裏。
Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar.
26 所有的脂油,祭司都要燒在壇上,正如平安祭的脂油一樣。至於他的罪,祭司要為他贖了,他必蒙赦免。
He shall burn all its fat on the altar like the fat of the peace offerings. In this way the priest will make the man's sin right, and he will be forgiven.
27 「民中若有人行了耶和華所吩咐不可行的甚麼事,誤犯了罪,
If any other Israelite sins unintentionally and does what is not permitted by any of the commandments of the Lord his God, he is guilty.
28 所犯的罪自己知道了,就要為所犯的罪牽一隻沒有殘疾的母山羊為供物,
When he realizes his sin, he must bring a female goat without defects as his offering for that sin.
29 按手在贖罪祭牲的頭上,在那宰燔祭牲的地方宰了。
He must put his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill it at the place at the place of the burnt offering.
30 祭司要用指頭蘸些羊的血,抹在燔祭壇的四角上,所有的血都要倒在壇的腳那裏,
Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar.
31 又要把羊所有的脂油都取下,正如取平安祭牲的脂油一樣。祭司要在壇上焚燒,在耶和華面前作為馨香的祭,為他贖罪,他必蒙赦免。
He shall remove all its fat like the fat of the peace offerings and burn it on the altar and it will be to be accepted by the Lord. In this way the priest will make the man's sin right, and he will be forgiven.
32 「人若牽一隻綿羊羔為贖罪祭的供物,必要牽一隻沒有殘疾的母羊,
If he brings a lamb as a sin offering, he is to bring a female without defects.
33 按手在贖罪祭牲的頭上,在那宰燔祭牲的地方宰了作贖罪祭。
He must put his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill it as a sin offering at the place at the place where the burnt offering is killed.
34 祭司要用指頭蘸些贖罪祭牲的血,抹在燔祭壇的四角上,所有的血都要倒在壇的腳那裏,
Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar.
35 又要把所有的脂油都取下,正如取平安祭羊羔的脂油一樣。祭司要按獻給耶和華火祭的條例,燒在壇上。至於所犯的罪,祭司要為他贖了,他必蒙赦免。」
He shall remove all its fat like the fat of the lamb is removed from the peace offerings and burn it on the altar and it will be to be accepted by the Lord. In this way the priest will make the man's sin right, and he will be forgiven.
