< 利未記 5 >
1 「若有人聽見發誓的聲音,他本是見證,卻不把所看見的、所知道的說出來,這就是罪;他要擔當他的罪孽。
If a soul will have sinned, and heard the voice of one testifying under oath, and he is a witness because either he has seen it himself, or he is aware of it: if he does not reveal it, he shall carry his iniquity.
2 或是有人摸了不潔的物,無論是不潔的死獸,是不潔的死畜,是不潔的死蟲,他卻不知道,因此成了不潔,就有了罪。
The soul that will have touched anything unclean, either that which has been killed by a beast, or that which has died on its own, or any other creeping thing, and will have forgotten its uncleanness, he is guilty and has committed a transgression.
3 或是他摸了別人的污穢,無論是染了甚麼污穢,他卻不知道,一知道了就有了罪。
And if he will have touched anything from the uncleanness of man, according to every kind of impurity by which he may be defiled, and having forgotten it, afterwards realizes it, he shall be guilty of committing a transgression.
4 或是有人嘴裏冒失發誓,要行惡,要行善,無論人在甚麼事上冒失發誓,他卻不知道,一知道了就要在這其中的一件上有了罪。
The soul who swears and offers from his own lips that he would do either evil or good, and who will have bound the same with an oath and with his own words, and, having forgotten it, afterwards understands his transgression,
let him do penance for his sin,
6 並要因所犯的罪,把他的贖愆祭牲-就是羊群中的母羊,或是一隻羊羔,或是一隻山羊-牽到耶和華面前為贖罪祭。至於他的罪,祭司要為他贖了。
and let him offer from the flocks a female lamb or a she-goat, and the priest shall pray for him and for his sin.
7 「他的力量若不夠獻一隻羊羔,就要因所犯的罪,把兩隻斑鳩或是兩隻雛鴿帶到耶和華面前為贖愆祭:一隻作贖罪祭,一隻作燔祭。
But if he is not able to offer a beast, let him offer two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the Lord, one for sin, and the other for a holocaust.
8 把這些帶到祭司那裏,祭司就要先把那贖罪祭獻上,從鳥的頸項上揪下頭來,只是不可把鳥撕斷,
And he shall give them to the priest, who, offering the first for sin, shall twist back its head to the little wings, so that it adheres to the neck and is not entirely broken off.
9 也把些贖罪祭牲的血彈在壇的旁邊,剩下的血要流在壇的腳那裏;這是贖罪祭。
And he shall sprinkle some of its blood at the side of the altar. But whatever will remain, he shall cause it to drip down to the base, because it is for sin.
10 他要照例獻第二隻為燔祭。至於他所犯的罪,祭司要為他贖了,他必蒙赦免。
Yet truly, the other he shall burn as a holocaust, just as is usually done. And the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin, and he shall be released from it.
11 「他的力量若不夠獻兩隻斑鳩或是兩隻雛鴿,就要因所犯的罪帶供物來,就是細麵伊法十分之一為贖罪祭;不可加上油,也不可加上乳香,因為是贖罪祭。
But if his hand is unable to offer two turtledoves or two young pigeons, he shall offer, for his sin, the tenth part of an ephah of fine wheat flour. He shall not put oil in it, nor place upon it any frankincense, because it is for sin.
12 他要把供物帶到祭司那裏,祭司要取出自己的一把來作為紀念,按獻給耶和華火祭的條例燒在壇上;這是贖罪祭。
And he shall deliver it to the priest, who shall take a handful of it, and shall burn it upon the altar as a memorial for him who offered it,
13 至於他在這幾件事中所犯的罪,祭司要為他贖了,他必蒙赦免。剩下的麵都歸與祭司,和素祭一樣。」
praying for him and making atonement. Yet truly, the remaining part he himself shall have as a gift.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
15 「人若在耶和華的聖物上誤犯了罪,有了過犯,就要照你所估的,按聖所的舍客勒拿銀子,將贖愆祭牲-就是羊群中一隻沒有殘疾的公綿羊-牽到耶和華面前為贖愆祭;
If a soul, by mistake, shall have transgressed the ceremonies in those things that are sanctified to the Lord, he shall offer for his offense an immaculate ram from the flocks, such as can be bought for two shekels, according to the weight of the Sanctuary.
16 並且他因在聖物上的差錯要償還,另外加五分之一,都給祭司。祭司要用贖愆祭的公綿羊為他贖罪,他必蒙赦免。
And he shall make restitution for the damage that he has brought, and he shall add a fifth part more, delivering it to the priest, who shall pray for him while offering the ram, and he shall be released from it.
17 「若有人犯罪,行了耶和華所吩咐不可行的甚麼事,他雖然不知道,還是有了罪,就要擔當他的罪孽;
If a soul will have sinned through ignorance, and will have done one of those things which the law of the Lord prohibits, and, being guilty of sin, understands his iniquity,
18 也要照你所估定的價,從羊群中牽一隻沒有殘疾的公綿羊來,給祭司作贖愆祭。至於他誤行的那錯事,祭司要為他贖罪,他必蒙赦免。
he shall offer from the flocks an immaculate ram to the priest, according to the measure and estimation of the sin, who shall pray for him, because he did it unknowingly, and he shall be released from it,
because by mistake he transgressed against the Lord.
