Leviticus 5
1 “And when a person sins, and has heard the voice of an oath, and he [is] witness, or has seen, or has known—if he does not declare [it], then he has borne 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 when a person comes against anything unclean, or against a carcass of an unclean beast, or against a carcass of unclean livestock, or against a carcass of an unclean teeming creature, and it has been hidden from him, then he [is] unclean and 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 when he comes against [the] uncleanness of man, even any of his uncleanness whereby he is unclean, and it has been hidden from him, and he has known, then he has been guilty.
Si tocas algo sucio de alguien que es sucio, incluso si no eres consciente de ello, serás culpable.
4 Or when a person swears, speaking wrongfully with the lips to do evil, or to do good, even anything which man speaks wrongfully with an oath, and it has been hid from him—when he has known then he has been guilty of 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 has been when he is guilty of one of these, that he has confessed concerning that which he has sinned,
“Si te vuelves culpable de una de estas formas, debes confesar tu pecado,
6 and has brought in his guilt-offering to YHWH for his sin which he has sinned, a female out of the flock, a lamb, or a kid of the goats, for a sin-offering, and the priest has made atonement for him because of 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 hand does not reach to the sufficiency of a lamb, then he has brought in his guilt-offering—he who has sinned—two turtle-doves or two young pigeons to YHWH, one for a sin-offering and one 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 has brought them to the priest, and has brought near that which [is] for a sin-offering first, and has wrung off its head from its neck, and does not separate [it],
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 has sprinkled of the blood of the sin-offering on the side of the altar, and that which is left of the blood is wrung out at the foundation 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 makes the second a burnt-offering, according to the ordinance, and the priest has made atonement for him because of his sin which he has sinned, and it has been forgiven him.
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 And if his hand does not reach to two turtle-doves, or to two young pigeons, then he has brought in his offering—he who has sinned—a tenth of an ephah of flour for a sin-offering; he puts no oil on it, nor does he put 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 has brought it to the priest, and the priest has taken a handful from it of the fullness of his hand—its memorial—and has made incense on the altar, according to the fire-offerings of YHWH; 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 has made atonement for him, for his sin which he has sinned against one of these, and it has been forgiven him, and [the remnant] has been for the priest, like the present.”
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 YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
El Señor le dijo a Moisés:
15 “When a person commits a trespass, and has sinned through ignorance against the holy things of YHWH, then he has brought in his guilt-offering to YHWH, a ram, a perfect one, out of the flock, at your valuation [in] silver—shekels by the shekel of the holy place—for a guilt-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 that which he has sinned against the holy thing he repays, and is adding to it its fifth, and has given it to the priest, and the priest makes atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering, and it has been forgiven him.
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 when any person sins, and has done [something against] one of all the commands of YHWH [regarding things] which are not to be done, and has not known, then he has been guilty, and has borne 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 Then he has brought in a ram, a perfect one, out of the flock, at your valuation, for a guilt-offering, to the priest; and the priest has made atonement for him, for his ignorance in which he has erred and he has not known, and it has been forgiven him;
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 guilt-offering; he has certainly been guilty before YHWH.”
Es una ofrenda de culpa porque fuiste culpable en lo que concierne al Señor”.
