Leviticus 4

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

上主訓示梅瑟說：

2 “Tell the Israelites to do as follows with one who sins unintentionally against any of the LORD’s commandments and does what is forbidden by them:

你告訴以色列子民說：若有人不慎，誤犯了上主的禁令，做了一件不許做的事：為大司祭贖罪，

3 If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the LORD a young bull without blemish as a sin offering for the sin he has committed.

如果是一位受傅的司祭犯了罪，連累了人民，他為這罪，應獻一頭無瑕的公牛贖，作贖罪祭。

4 He must bring the bull to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and slaughter it before the LORD.

將牛牽到會幕門口，到上主前，先按手在牛頭上，在上主前宰了。

5 Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood and bring it into the Tent of Meeting.

然後受傅的司祭取些牛血，帶進會幕，

6 The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.

將手指浸在牲血裏，在上主面前向聖所帳幔灑血七次；

7 The priest must then put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting. And he is to pour out the rest of the bull’s blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

再將一些牲血，塗在會幕內上主面前的香壇四角上；其餘的牛血都應倒在會幕門口全幡祭壇腳旁。

8 Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering—the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,

以後取出作贖罪的公牛贖所有的脂肪：即遮蓋內臟的脂肪，貼再內臟上所有的脂肪，

9 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys—

左右兩腎和兩腎上靠腰部的脂肪以及同兩腎一起取出的肝葉，

10 just as the fat is removed from the ox of the peace offering. Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.

全照從和平祭犧牲的公牛所取出的一樣；司祭應將這一切放在全幡祭上焚燒。

11 But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, with its head and legs and its entrails and dung—

至於公牛贖的皮，所有的肉、頭、腿、內臟和糞，

12 all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place where the ashes are poured out, and there he must burn it on a wood fire on the ash heap.

即整個公牛贖，應運到營外倒壇灰的清潔地方，放再木柴上用火焚燒：即在倒壇灰的地方將牠燃燒。為全會眾贖罪。

13 Now if the whole congregation of Israel strays unintentionally and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly so that they violate any of the LORD’s commandments and incur guilt by doing what is forbidden,

如果是全以色列會眾誤犯了過失，而會眾又沒有發覺做了上主戒命所不許做的事，因而有罪。

14 when they become aware of the sin they have committed, then the assembly must bring a young bull as a sin offering and present it before the Tent of Meeting.

當他們一發覺自己所犯的罪，會眾就應獻一頭公牛犢作贖罪祭，牽到會幕前；

15 The elders of the congregation are to lay their hands on the bull’s head before the LORD, and it shall be slaughtered before the LORD.

會眾的長老在上主前，按手在牛頭上，在上主前宰；

16 Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the bull’s blood into the Tent of Meeting,

然後受傅的司祭取些牛血帶進會幕，

17 and he is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the veil.

將手指浸在牲血裏，在上主面前向帳幔灑血七次。

18 He is also to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting, and he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

再將一些牲血塗在會幕內上主面前的祭壇四角上；其餘的血，都應倒在會幕門口的全燔祭壇腳旁。

19 And he is to remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar.

至於脂肪應完全取出，放在祭壇上焚燒。

20 He shall offer this bull just as he did the bull for the sin offering; in this way the priest will make atonement on their behalf, and they will be forgiven.

處置這牛，如處置贖罪祭的公牛犢一樣處置。司祭如此為他們贖了罪，他們方可獲得罪赦。

21 Then he is to take the bull outside the camp and burn it, just as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.

以後應將這公牛犢運到營外焚燒，如焚燒上述的公牛犢一樣：這是為會眾的贖罪祭。為首長贖罪。

22 When a leader sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the commandments of the LORD his God, he incurs guilt.

如果是一位首長犯了罪，不慎做了上主他的天主的誡命所不許做的事，因而有罪。

23 When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring an unblemished male goat as his offering.

當他一發覺自己犯了罪，就奉獻一隻無瑕的公山羊做祭品，

24 He is to lay his hand on the head of the goat and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the LORD. It is a sin offering.

先按手在羊頭上，後在宰殺全燔祭犧牲的地方，在上主前將牠宰了：這是贖罪祭。

25 Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

然後司祭用手指蘸些贖罪祭犧牲的血，塗在全燔祭祭壇四角上；其餘的血，都應倒在會幕門口的全燔祭壇腳旁。

26 He must burn all its fat on the altar, like the fat of the peace offerings; thus the priest will make atonement for that man’s sin, and he will be forgiven.

所有的脂肪，如同和平祭犧牲的脂肪一樣，都應放在祭壇上焚燒。司祭如此為他的罪行了贖罪禮，他方可穫得罪赦。為平民贖罪

27 And if one of the common people sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the LORD’s commandments, he incurs guilt.

如果是一個平民不慎犯了罪，做了上主的誡命所不許做的事，因而有罪。

28 When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring an unblemished female goat as his offering for that sin.

當他一發覺自己犯了罪，就應為自己所犯的罪，奉獻一隻無瑕的母山羊作祭品；

29 He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering.

先按手在贖罪祭犧牲的頭上，後在宰殺全燔祭犧牲的地方，將贖罪祭犧牲宰了。

30 Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

然後司祭用手蘸些牲血，塗在全燔祭壇四角上；其餘的血，都應倒在祭壇腳旁。

31 Then he is to remove all the fat, just as it is removed from the peace offering, and the priest is to burn it on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.

所有的脂肪像和平祭犧牲一樣，都應取出；司祭應將這一切放在祭台上焚燒，化為中悅上主的馨香。司祭如此為他贖了罪，他方可獲得罪赦。

32 If, however, he brings a lamb as a sin offering, he must bring an unblemished female.

如果是奉獻一隻小綿羊做為贖罪祭犧牲，應獻一隻無瑕的母羊。

33 And he is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it as a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.

先按手在贖罪祭犧牲的頭上，後在宰殺全燔祭犧牲的地方宰了，作為贖罪祭。

34 Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.

司祭用手指蘸些贖罪祭犧牲的血，塗在全燔祭壇四角上；其餘的血，都應倒在祭壇腳旁。

35 And he shall remove all the fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the peace offerings, and he shall burn it on the altar along with the offerings made by fire to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven.

所有的脂肪都應取出，有如由和平祭犧牲的小羊所取出的脂肪一樣。司祭應將這一切放在祭壇上，與獻給上主的火祭一同焚燒。司祭如此為他的罪行了贖罪禮，他方可獲得罪赦。
