Leviticus 5
1 And if a soul sins, in that he hears the voice of an oath, he being a witness, whether he has seen or known, if he does not testify, then he shall bear his iniquity.
“Si tú pecas por no suministrar las pruebas necesarias en un caso legal, ya sea que tú mismo hayas visto o escuchado algo al respecto, eres responsable de tu culpabilidad.
2 Or if a soul touches any unclean thing, whether it be the carcass of an unclean beast, or the carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and it be hidden from him, and he be unclean, then he shall be guilty.
Si tocas algo sucio como el cadáver de un animal salvaje impuro o animales de granja o bichos, incluso si no eres consciente de ello, serás impuro y culpable.
3 Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatever his uncleanness be with which he is unclean, and it be hid from him, when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty.
Si tocas algo sucio de alguien que es sucio, incluso si no eres consciente de ello, serás culpable.
4 Or if a soul swears rashly with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatever it be that a man shall utter rashly with an oath, and it be hid from him, when he realizes it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.
Si juras imprudentemente hacer algo, (ya sea bueno o malo, y de cualquier manera que la gente pueda jurar impulsivamente), incluso si no eres consciente de que está mal, cuando finalmente te das cuenta, serás culpable.
5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these, that he shall confess that by which he has sinned.
“Si te vuelves culpable de una de estas formas, debes confesar tu pecado,
6 And he shall bring his trespass offering to Jehovah for his sin which he has sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin.
y debes llevar tu ofrenda de culpa de un cordero o cabra hembra al Señor como una ofrenda por tu pecado. El sacerdote expiará tu pecado.
7 And if his means is not sufficient for a lamb, then he shall bring his trespass offering for that by which he has sinned, two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to Jehovah, one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
Si no te alcanza para comprar un cordero, puedes ofrecer al Señor como compensación por tu pecado dos tórtolas o dos palomas jóvenes, una como ofrenda por el pecado y otra como holocausto.
8 And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off its head from its neck, but shall not divide it apart.
Debes llevarlos al sacerdote, quien presentará el primero como la ofrenda por el pecado. Él debe arrancarle la cabeza del cuello sin quitarla completamente.
9 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.
Luego debe rociar parte de la sangre de la ofrenda por el pecado en el lado del altar mientras el resto de la sangre es derramada en la base del altar. Es una ofrenda por el pecado.
10 And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the ordinance. And the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin which he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven.
El sacerdote debe entonces preparar la segunda tórtola como holocausto según las normas. De esta manera el sacerdote te justificará por tus pecados, y serás perdonado.
11 But if his means is not sufficient for two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, then he shall bring his oblation for that by which he has sinned, the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering. He shall put no oil upon it, nor shall he put any frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.
“Si no te alcanza para comprar dos tórtolas o dos pichones, puedes traer un décimo de efa de la mejor harina como ofrenda por el pecado. No le pongas aceite de oliva o incienso, porque es una ofrenda por el pecado.
12 And he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as the memorial of it, and burn it on the altar, upon the offerings of Jehovah made by fire. It is a sin offering.
Llévala al sacerdote, que tomará un puñado como ‘recordatorio’ y lo quemará en el altar sobre las ofrendas quemadas al Señor. Es una ofrenda por el pecado.
13 And the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned in any of these things, and he shall be forgiven. And the remnant shall be the priest's, as the meal offering.
Así es como el sacerdote expiará cualquiera de estos pecados que hayas cometido, y serás perdonado. El resto de la ofrenda pertenecerá al sacerdote, al igual que la ofrenda de grano”.
14 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
El Señor le dijo a Moisés:
15 If a soul commits a trespass, and sins unwittingly in the holy things of Jehovah, then he shall bring his trespass offering to Jehovah, a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to thy estimation in silver by shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering.
“Si alguno de ustedes descuida involuntariamente todo lo que el Señor ha declarado que le pertenece y es santo, debes llevar tu ofrenda de culpabilidad al Señor: un carnero sin defectos de tu rebaño o sólo uno de valor equivalente en siclos de plata (según el estándar del siclo del santuario). Es una ofrenda por la culpa.
16 And he shall make restitution for that which he has done amiss in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part to it, and give it to the priest. And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and he shall be forgiven.
En cuanto a cualquier requisito sagrado que no hayas aportado, debes pagar una compensación añadiéndole un quinto de su valor y luego dárselo al sacerdote, que lo arreglará con el carnero como ofrenda por la culpa, y serás perdonado.
17 And if a soul sins, and does any of the things which Jehovah has commanded not to be done, though he did not know it, yet he is guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
Si pecas y quebrantas alguno de los mandamientos del Señor, aunque no seas consciente de ello, sigues siendo culpable y asumes la responsabilidad de tu culpa.
18 And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to thy estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest. And the priest shall make atonement for him concerning the thing by which he erred unwittingly and knew it not, and he shall be forgiven.
Debes llevar al sacerdote un carnero sin defectos y de valor apropiado como ofrenda de culpabilidad. Entonces expiará por ti el mal que hiciste en la ignorancia, y serás perdonado.
19 It is a trespass offering. He is certainly guilty before Jehovah.
Es una ofrenda de culpa porque fuiste culpable en lo que concierne al Señor”.
