< Leviticus 5 >

1 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.
若有人詛咒的誓言,能為所見所知的事作證而不肯聲明,就犯了罪,應負罪咎;
2 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.
或有人誤觸了什麼不潔之物,不論是不潔野獸的屍體,或是不潔家畜的屍體,或是不節昆蟲的屍體,而未發覺,以後發覺自己成為不潔的,因而有罪;
3 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.
或有人誤摸了人的不潔,任何能玷污人的不潔,而未發覺,以後發覺,就有了罪;
4 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,
或有人出言輕易發了誓,或懷惡意,或懷善意,人無論在什麼事上輕易發了誓,當時未發覺,而以後發覺自己在某些事上有了罪;
5 let him do penance for his sin,
那麼幾時他發覺在上述某件事上有了罪,就該承認自己所犯的罪,
6 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.
為賠補所犯的罪,應由羊群中取一隻母羊或綿羊,或山羊,獻給上主作贖罪祭,司祭應為他的罪行贖罪禮。
7 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.
如果他的財力不足辦一隻羊,為賠補所犯的罪,應獻給上主兩隻班鳩或兩隻雛鴿:一隻做為贖罪祭,一隻做為全燔祭。
8 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.
將牠們交給司祭;司祭應先奉獻那作贖罪祭的一隻,掐住脖子扭斷牠的頭,卻不可分離;
9 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.
然後取些贖罪祭犧牲的血,灑在祭壇壁上,其餘的血都擠在祭檀腳旁:這是贖罪祭。
10 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.
至於第二隻:照全燔祭的儀式獻作全墦祭。司祭這樣為他所犯的罪行贖罪禮,他方可獲得罪赦。
11 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.
如果他的財力連兩隻班鳩或兩隻雛鴿也不能備辦,為賠補所犯的罪,應獻十分之一「厄法」細麵,作贖罪祭祭品,上面不可倒油,也不可放乳香,因為是贖罪祭。
12 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,
將祭品交給司祭,司祭就取出一把麵,放在祭壇上與獻給上主的火祭一同焚燒,為獲得記念:這是贖罪祭。
13 praying for him and making atonement. Yet truly, the remaining part he himself shall have as a gift.
司祭這樣為他所犯的罪過行贖罪禮,他方可獲得罪赦。剩下的,如素祭一樣,應歸於司祭。」贖過祭祭儀。
14 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
上主訓示梅瑟說:「
15 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.
若有人有了過犯,不慎冒犯了上主的聖物,為賠補自己的過失,應從羊群中取一隻無瑕的公綿羊,依照你的估價,按聖所的幣制折合銀子,獻與上主作贖過祭。
16 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.
為賠償他對聖物所犯的過失,應還另加五分之一,交給司祭。司祭應用贖過祭的公綿羊為他行贖罪禮,他方可獲得罪赦。
17 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,
若有人犯了罪,不慎做了上主戒命所不許做的事,有了過犯,應負罪債,
18 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,
他應照你的估價,從羊群中取一隻無瑕的公綿羊,交給司祭做贖過祭。司祭這樣為他不慎而誤犯的過失,替他行贖罪禮,他才可獲得罪赦:
19 because by mistake he transgressed against the Lord.
這是贖過祭,是他應向上主獻的贖過祭。」
