Leviticus 5
1 And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and he is a witness or has seen or been conscious, if he do not report it, he shall bear his iniquity.
“Si alguno pecare porque habiendo oído una imprecación y sido testigo de una cosa, sea porque la vio, o sea porque la supo, y no la denunció, llevará su iniquidad.
2 That soul which shall touch any unclean thing, or carcase, or [that which is] unclean being taken of beasts, or the dead bodies of abominable [reptiles] which are unclean, or carcases of unclean cattle,
O si alguno sin darse cuenta tocare cosa inmunda, sea el cadáver de una fiera inmunda, o el cadáver de un animal doméstico, o el cadáver de un reptil inmundo, se hace inmundo y culpable él mismo.
3 or should touch the uncleanness of a man, or whatever kind, which he may touch and be defiled by, and it should have escaped him, but afterwards he should know, —then he shall have transgressed.
O si tocare, por inadvertencia, cualquier inmundicia de hombre, con la que uno se puede contaminar, tan pronto como llegue a saberlo, será reo de culpa.
4 That unrighteous soul, which determines with his lips to do evil or to do good according to whatsoever a man may determine with an oath, and it shall have escaped his notice, and he shall [afterwards] know [it], and [so] he should sin in some one of these things:
O si alguno con sus labios jurare inconsideradamente hacer mal o hacer bien, en una de esas cosas en que los hombres suelen jurar inconsideradamente, y no se da cuenta, tan pronto como llegue a saberlo, se hará culpable de la cosa respectiva.
5 —then shall he declare his sin in the tings wherein he has sinned by that sin.
Quienquiera que fuere culpable de una de estas cosas, confesará aquello en que ha pecado;
6 And he shall bring for his transgressions against the Lord, for his sin which he has sinned, a ewe lamb of the flock, or a kid of the goats, for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he has sinned, and his sin shall be forgiven him.
y para expiación del pecado cometido ofrecerá a Yahvé una hembra del ganado menor, oveja o cabra, como sacrificio por el pecado; y el sacerdote hará por él expiación de su pecado.
7 And if he cannot afford a sheep, he shall bring for his sin which he has sinned, two turtle-doves or two young pigeons to the Lord; one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering.
Cuando sus recursos no alcancen para una oveja, presentará a Yahvé, como sacrificio por su pecado, dos tórtolas o dos palominos, uno como sacrificio por el pecado y otro en holocausto.
8 And he shall bring them to the priest, and the priest shall bring the sin-offering first; and the priest shall pinch off the head from the neck, and shall not divide the body.
Los llevará al sacerdote, quien ofrecerá primero el que se ofrece por el pecado. Con las uñas le retorcerá la cabeza cerca del cuello sin arrancarla.
9 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin-offering on the side of the altar, but the rest of the blood he shall drop at the foot of the altar, for it is a sin-offering.
Y derramará parte de la sangre del sacrificio expiatorio contra la pared del altar; y lo restante de la sangre la hará gotear al pie del altar, pues es sacrificio por el pecado.
10 And he shall make the second a whole-burnt-offering, as it is fit; and the priest shall make atonement for his sin which he has sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
Luego ofrecerá el segundo en holocausto, conforme al rito. Así el sacerdote le expiará por el pecado cometido y este le será perdonado.
11 And if he cannot afford a pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, then shall he bring as his gift for his sin, the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin-offering; he shall not pour oil upon it, nor shall he put frankincense upon it, because it is a sin-offering.
Si no tuviere lo suficiente para dos tórtolas o dos palominos, presentará, como ofrenda suya por el pecado, la décima parte de una efa de flor de harina en sacrificio expiatorio. No añadirá aceite, ni echará sobre ella incienso, porque es sacrificio por el pecado.
12 And he shall bring it to the priest; and the priest having taken a handful of it, shall lay the memorial of it on the altar of whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord; it is a sin-offering.
La llevará al sacerdote; y el sacerdote tomando de ella un puñado, para recuerdo, la quemará en el altar, encima de los sacrificios consumidos por el fuego en honor de Yahvé. Es sacrificio por el pecado.
13 And the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin, which he has sinned in one of these things, and it shall be forgiven him; and that which is left shall be the priest's, as an offering of fine flour.
Y el sacerdote hará expiación por él, por el pecado que cometió en alguna de aquellas cosas, y se le perdonará. Y (el resto) pertenecerá al sacerdote, como en oblación.”
14 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Y habló Yahvé a Moisés, diciendo:
15 The soul which shall be really unconscious, and shall sin unwillingly in any of the holy things of the Lord, shall even bring to the Lord for his transgression, a ram of the flock without blemish, valued according to shekels of silver according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for his [transgression] wherein he transgressed.
“Si uno comete infidelidad y peca por inadvertencia contra las cosas santas que pertenecen a Yahvé, ofrecerá a Yahvé, como sacrificio por su delito, un carnero del rebaño, sin tacha, estimado según tu valuación en dos siclos, conforme al peso del Santuario.
16 And he shall make compensation for that wherein he has sinned in the holy things; and he 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 transgression, and [his sin] shall be forgiven him.
Y restituirá lo que defraudó de la cosa santa, añadiéndole una quinta parte, y lo dará al sacerdote, el cual hará por él la expiación con el carnero del sacrificio por el delito y se le perdonará.
17 And the soul which shall sin, and do one thing [against] any of the commandments of the Lord, which it is not right to do, and has not known it, and shall have transgressed, and shall have contracted guilt,
Quien pecare sin darse cuenta, haciendo algo prohibido por los mandamientos de Yahvé; será culpable y llevará su iniquidad.
18 he shall even bring a ram without blemish from the flock, [valued] at a price of silver for his transgression to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for his trespass of ignorance, wherein he ignorantly trespassed, and he knew it not; and it shall be forgiven him.
Llevará al sacerdote, como sacrificio por el delito, un carnero del rebaño, sin tacha, según tu valuación; y el sacerdote hará expiación por el error que cometió sin saberlo, y se le perdonará.
19 For he has surely been guilty of transgression before the Lord.
Es sacrificio expiatorio, pues pecó indudablemente contra Yahvé.”
