Leviticus 16

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, in their drawing near before YHWH, and they die;

亞郎的兩個兒子，因擅自走近上主面前而遭受死亡；他們死後，上主訓示梅瑟，

2 indeed, YHWH says to Moses, “Speak to your brother Aaron, and he does not come in at all times to the holy place within the veil, to the front of the propitiatory covering, which [is] on the Ark, and he does not die, for I am seen in a cloud on the propitiatory covering.

對他這樣說：」你告訴你的哥哥亞郎，不可隨時進入帳慢後的聖所，到約櫃上的贖罪蓋前去，免得在我乘雲顯現在贖罪蓋上時，遭受死亡。

3 With this Aaron comes into the holy place: with a bullock, a son of the herd, for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering;

亞郎應這樣進入聖所：帶上一隻公牛贖作贖罪祭，一隻公綿羊作全番祭；

4 he puts on a holy linen coat, and linen trousers are on his flesh, and he girds himself with a linen girdle, and he wraps himself up with a linen turban; they [are] holy garments; and he has bathed his flesh with water and put them on.

應穿上亞麻聖長衣，身著亞麻短褲，束上一亞麻腰帶，戴上亞麻頭巾；這些都是聖衣，他用水洗身後才能穿上。

5 And from the congregation of the sons of Israel he takes two kids of the goats for a sin-offering and one ram for a burnt-offering;

此外，還應由以色列子民會眾，取兩隻公山羊作贖罪祭，一隻公綿羊作全番祭。

6 and Aaron has brought the bullock of the sin-offering near, which is his own, and has made atonement for himself and for his house;

亞郎先要奉獻為自己作贖罪祭的公牛贖，替自己和家人贖罪；

7 and he has taken the two goats, and has caused them to stand before YHWH, at the opening of the Tent of Meeting.

以後牽那兩隻公山羊來，放再會幕門口上主面前，

8 And Aaron has given lots over the two goats, one lot for YHWH and one lot for a goat of departure;

為這兩隻公羊抽籤：一籤為上主，一籤為」阿匝則耳「。

9 and Aaron has brought the goat near, on which the lot for YHWH has gone up, and has made it a sin-offering.

亞郎將那為上主抽到的公山羊，獻作贖罪祭；

10 And the goat on which the lot for a goat of departure has gone up is caused to stand living before YHWH to make atonement by it, to send it away for a goat of departure into the wilderness.

至於那為」阿匝則耳「抽到的公山羊，應讓牠活著，立在上主面前，用牠行贖罪禮，放入曠野，歸於「阿匝則耳。」

11 And Aaron has brought the bullock of the sin-offering near, which is his own, and has made atonement for himself and for his house, and has slaughtered the bullock of the sin-offering which [is] his own,

於是亞郎先奉獻自己作贖罪祭得公牛贖，替自己和家人贖罪，宰殺為自己作贖罪祭的公牛贖；

12 and has taken the fullness of the censer of burning coals of fire from off the altar, from before YHWH, and the fullness of his hands of thin spice-incense, and has brought [it] within the veil;

隨後由上主面前的祭壇上，拿下盛滿紅炭的火盤，再拿一滿捧細乳香，帶進帳幔內，

13 and he has put the incense on the fire before YHWH, and the cloud of the incense has covered the propitiatory covering which [is] on the Testimony, and he does not die.

在上主面前將乳香放在火上，使乳香的煙遮住約櫃上的贖罪蓋，免得遭受死亡。

14 And he has taken of the blood of the bullock, and has sprinkled with his finger on the front of the propitiatory covering eastward; even at the front of the propitiatory covering he sprinkles seven times of the blood with his finger.

以後，取些牛血，用手指灑在贖罪蓋東面；又用手指在贖罪蓋前，灑血七次。

15 And he has slaughtered the goat of the sin-offering which [is] the people’s, and has brought in its blood to the inside of the veil, and has done with its blood as he has done with the blood of the bullock, and has sprinkled it on the propitiatory covering, and at the front of the propitiatory covering,

此後，宰殺了為人民作贖罪祭的公山羊，將羊血帶進帳幔內，照灑牛血的方式，將羊血灑在贖罪蓋上和贖罪蓋的前面，

16 and he has made atonement for the holy place because of the uncleanness of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins; and so he does for the Tent of Meeting which is dwelling with them in the midst of their uncleannesses.

為以色列子民得不潔，和他們犯的種種罪過，給聖所取潔；給存留在他們中，為他們不潔玷汙的會幕，也舉行同樣的禮儀。

17 And no man is in the Tent of Meeting in his going in to make atonement in the holy place, until his coming out; and he has made atonement for himself, and for his house, and for all the assembly of Israel.

當他走近聖所行贖罪禮時，直到他出來，任何人不許再會幕內。幾時他為自己，為家人，為以色列全會眾贖罪完畢，

18 And he has gone out to the altar which [is] before YHWH, and has made atonement for it; and he has taken of the blood of the bullock and of the blood of the goat, and has put [it] around the horns of the altar;

就出來，回到上主面前的祭壇前，為祭談行取潔禮；取些牛血汗羊血，抹在祭壇四周的角上；

19 and he has sprinkled on it of the blood with his finger seven times, and has cleansed it, and has hallowed it from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel.

再用手指向祭壇灑血七次：這樣使祭壇免於以色列子民的不潔，而獲潔淨和祝聖。

20 And he has ceased from making atonement [for] the holy place, and the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, and has brought the living goat near;

為聖所、會幕及祭壇行完取潔禮後，便將那隻活公山羊牽來，

21 and Aaron has laid his two hands on the head of the living goat, and has confessed over it all the iniquities of the sons of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, and has put them on the head of the goat, and has sent [it] away by the hand of a ready man into the wilderness;

亞郎將雙手案在牠的頭上，明認以色列子民的一切罪惡，和所犯的種種過犯和罪過，全放在這公山羊頭上；然後命派定的人將牠送到曠野。

22 and the goat has borne on himself all their iniquities to a land of separation. And he has sent the goat away into the wilderness,

羊負著他們種種過犯和罪惡到了荒野地方，那人應在曠野裡釋放那隻羊。

23 and Aaron has come into the Tent of Meeting, and has stripped off the linen garments which he had put on in his going into the holy place, and has placed them there;

然後亞郎進入會幕，脫下他在聖所時穿的亞麻衣服，放在那裡，

24 and he has bathed his flesh with water in the holy place, and has put on his garments, and has come out, and has made his burnt-offering, and the burnt-offering of the people, and has made atonement for himself and for the people;

在聖地方用水洗身，在穿上自己的衣服，出來奉獻自己的全番祭和人民的全番祭，為自己和人民型贖罪禮。

25 and with the fat of the sin-offering he makes incense on the altar.

贖罪祭犧牲的脂肪，應放在祭壇上焚燒。

26 And he who is sending the goat away for a goat of departure washes his garments, and has bathed his flesh with water, and afterward he comes into the camp.

那送公山羊給」阿匝則耳「的，應先洗自己的衣服，用水洗身，然後方可進入營幕。

27 And the bullock of the sin-offering and the goat of the sin-offering, whose blood has been brought in to make atonement in the holy place, [one] brings out to the outside of the camp, and they have burned their skins, and their flesh, and their dung with fire;

作贖罪祭的公牛贖和做贖罪祭的公山羊，牠們的血既帶到勝所內贖罪，皮、肉及糞，都應運到營外，用火燒了。

28 and he who is burning them washes his garments, and has bathed his flesh with water, and afterward he comes into the camp.

那燒的人，應先洗自己的衣服，用水洗身，然後方可進入營幕。

29 And it has been for a continuous statute to you, in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month, you humble yourselves, and do no work—the native and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst;

這位你們是一條永久的法令：七月初十，你們應先克己苦身，不論是本地人，或僑居在你們中間的外方人，任何勞工都不許做，

30 for on this day he makes atonement for you, to cleanse you; you are clean from all your sins before YHWH;

因為這一天，你們應為自己贖罪，使自己潔淨，應除去自己的種種過犯，在上主面前再成為潔淨的。

31 it [is] a Sabbath of rest for you, and you have humbled yourselves—a continuous statute.

這是你們全休息日的安息日，應克己苦身：這是永久的法令。

32 And the priest whom he anoints, and whose hand he consecrates to act as priest instead of his father, has made atonement, and has put on the linen garments, the holy garments;

那位受傅，被委任繼承他父親執行司祭任務的大司祭，應舉行贖罪禮。他應穿上亞麻聖衣，

33 and he has made atonement [for] the holy sanctuary; and [for] the Tent of Meeting, even [for] the altar he makes atonement; indeed, he makes atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.

為至聖所，為會幕和為祭壇型取潔禮，為眾司祭和全會眾人民行贖罪禮。

34 And this has been for a continuous statute to you, to make atonement for the sons of Israel, because of all their sins, once in a year”; and he does as YHWH has commanded Moses.

每年一次，應為以色列子民，為他們種種罪過型贖罪禮：這位你們是永久的法令。」人就依照上主吩咐梅瑟的做了。
