利未記 4
1 耶和華對摩西說：
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
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，
“Say this to the Israeli people: This is what must be done if someone sins without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of Yahweh’s commands.
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 the Supreme [MTY] Priest sins, and that causes all the people to be guilty, he must bring to Yahweh a young bull that has no defects. That will be an offering for the sin that he has committed.
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 bring the bull to the entrance to the Sacred Tent. He must lay his hands on its head. Then he must slaughter it in front of Yahweh [and drain some of the blood into a bowl].
5 受膏的祭司要取些公牛的血帶到會幕，
Then the Supreme Priest must take some of that blood into the Sacred Tent.
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，
He must dip [one of] his fingers into the blood and sprinkle it seven times in the presence of Yahweh, in front of the curtain [that separates the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place].
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。
Then he must put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the altar where fragrant incense is burned in the Sacred Tent in the presence of Yahweh. The remaining part of the bull’s blood [that is still in the bowl], he must pour out at the base of the altar, where sacrifices are burned, at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
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，
From that offering the Supreme Priest must separate these things from the bull that is to be burned: The fat that covers the inner parts of the bull or which is attached to them—
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，
the kidneys and the fat that is attached to them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.
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。
Then the Supreme Priest must completely burn those things on the altar. That will be just like when the fat is removed from an animal that is sacrificed to maintain good fellowship [with Yahweh].
11 公牛的皮和所有的肉，並頭、腿、臟、腑、糞，
But all the other parts of the animal—its skin/hide and all its other meat, its head and its legs, its inner parts and the intestines,
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。
he must take outside the camp and throw them in a place that is acceptable to Yahweh, where the ashes are thrown, and he must burn them in a fire on the pile of ashes.
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 all the Israeli people sin without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of Yahweh’s commands, they will be guilty, even if they do not realize that they have sinned.
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 that they have committed a sin, together they must bring a young bull to be an offering for their sin, to the front of the Sacred Tent.
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 must lay their hands on the bull’s head in the presence of Yahweh and slaughter it [and catch some of the blood in a bowl].
16 受膏的祭司要取些公牛的血帶到會幕，
Then the Supreme [MTY] Priest must take some of that blood into the Sacred Tent.
17 把指頭蘸於血中，在耶和華面前對着幔子彈血七次，
‘He must dip [one of] his fingers into the blood and sprinkle it seven times in the presence of Yahweh, in front of the curtain [that separates the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place].
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。
Then he must put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the altar that is in the presence of Yahweh in the Sacred Tent. The remaining part of the bull’s blood, he must pour out at the base of the altar where sacrifices are burned, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
19 把牛所有的脂油都取下，燒在壇上；
He must remove all the animal’s fat 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 must do with this bull the same things that he did with the bull that was an offering for his own sins, and they will be forgiven {Yahweh will forgive them}.
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 the priest must take [the other parts of] the bull outside the camp and burn them, like he does when he himself has sinned. That will be the offering for the sin that all the people have committed, and they will be forgiven.
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，
‘When one of the leaders sins without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of the commands of Yahweh his God, he will be 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 that he has committed a sin, he must bring as his offering a male goat that has no defects.
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 lay his hands on the goat’s head in the presence of Yahweh and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter {are slaughtered} the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar]. That will be an offering for his sin.
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 must put some of the animal’s blood [into a bowl] and dip [one of] his fingers in it and put some of the blood on the corners of the projections of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base 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。
Then he must burn all the fat on the altar, as was done with the fat of the offering to maintain good fellowship [with Yahweh]. As a result of the priest’s doing that, the leader will no longer be guilty for his sin 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 one of the Israeli people who is not a priest sins without intending to sin, and does something that is forbidden in any of the commands of Yahweh his God, he will be 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 that he has committed a sin, he must bring as his offering a female goat that has no defects.
29 按手在贖罪祭牲的頭上，在那宰燔祭牲的地方宰了。
He must lay his hands on the goat’s head and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar, and catch some of the blood in a bowl].
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 must dip [one of] his fingers in the blood, and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base 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。
Then he must remove all the goat’s fat, and burn all the fat on the altar, like was done with the fat of the offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh. As a result of the priest doing that, the person will no longer be guilty for his sin, 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 that person brings a lamb to be his offering for sin, he must bring a female lamb that has no 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 lay his hands on the lamb’s head and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar, and catch some of the blood in a bowl].
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 must dip [one of] his fingers in the blood and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base 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。」
Then he must remove all the lamb’s fat, and burn all the fat on the altar, like was done with the fat of the offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. He must burn it on top of the other offerings to Yahweh that are being burned. As a result, the priest will request God to forgive that person for his sin, and he will be forgiven.’”
