< Leviticus 16 >

1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, —when they had offered strange fire before Yahweh and died.
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 And Yahweh said unto Moses—Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he do not come at all times into the holy place, within the veil, —into the presence of the propitiatory, which is upon the ark, so shall he not die, for, in the cloud, will I appear upon the propitiatory.
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 Herewith, shall Aaron come into the holy place, —With a bullock the choice of the herd as a sin-bearer, and a ram as an ascending-sacrifice.
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 A holy tunic of linen, shall he put on and drawers of linen, shall be upon his flesh, and with a band of linen, shall he gird himself, and with a turban of linen, shall his head be wrapped about, —holy garments, they are, therefore shall he bathe in water his flesh, and so 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 assembly of the sons of Israel, shall he receive two he-goats, for bearing sin, —and one ram, as an ascending-sacrifice.
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 Then shall Aaron bring near the sin-bearing bullock which is for himself, —and put a propitiatory-covering about himself, and about his household.
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 Then shall he take the two goats, —and cause them to stand before Yahweh, at the entrance 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 shall cast lots over the two goats, —one lot for Yahweh, and one lot for Azazel.
為這兩隻公羊抽籤:一籤為上主,一籤為」阿匝則耳「。
9 Then shall Aaron bring near the goat over which came up the lot for Yahweh, —and shall make of him a sin-bearer;
亞郎將那為上主抽到的公山羊,獻作贖罪祭;
10 but, the goat over which came up the lot for Azazel, shall he cause to stand alive—before Yahweh to put a propitiatory-covering over him, —to send him away unto Azazel, towards the desert.
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 So Aaron shall bring near the sin-bearing bullock which is for himself, and shall put a propitiatory-covering about himself, and about his household, —and shall slay the sin-bearing bullock which is for himself;
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 shall take the censer-full of burning coals of fire from off the altar from before Yahweh, and his hands full of fragrant incense, beaten small, —and bring 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 shall put the incense upon the fire before Yahweh, —and the cloud of incense shall cover the propitiatory which is over the testimony, and he shall 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 Then shall he take of the blood of the bullock, and shall sprinkle with his finger upon the face of the propitiatory, eastwards, —and before the propitiatory, shall he sprinkle 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 Then shall he slay the sin-bearing goat which is for the people, and bring in its blood, within the veil, —and do with its blood, as he did to the blood of the bullock, and shall sprinkle it, upon the propitiatory and before the propitiatory:
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 so shall he put a propitiatory-covering, over the holy place because of the uncleanness of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions to the extent of all their sins, —and, so, shall he do for the tent of meeting which abideth with them, in the midst of their uncleanness.
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 human being, shall be in the tent of meeting, when he cometh in to make a covering by propitiation in the holy place, until he goeth out, —so shall he put a propitiatory-covering about himself and about his household and about all the convocation 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 Then shall he go out unto the altar which is before Yahweh and shall put a propitiatory-covering thereupon, —and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put upon the horns of the altar, round about;
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 shall sprinkle upon it, of the blood with his finger seven times, —and shall cleanse it and hallow 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, when he hath made an end of covering by propitiation the holy place, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, then shall he bring near the living goat.
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 shall lean his two hands upon the head of the living goat, and confess over him, all the iniquities of the sons of Israel, and all their transgressions, to the extent of all their sins, —and shall put them upon the head of the goat, and then send him away, by the hand of a man appointed towards the desert:
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 so shall the goat bear upon him all their iniquities into a lone land, —and he shall set the goat free, in the desert.
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 Then shall Aaron come into the tent of meeting, and put off the linen garments which he put on when he came into the holy place, —and shall leave 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 shall bathe his flesh in water in a holy place, and put on his [other] garments, —and go forth, and offer his own ascending-sacrifice, and the ascending-sacrifice of the people, so shall he put a propitiatory-covering about himself, and about 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-bearer, shall he make a perfume at the altar.
贖罪祭犧牲的脂肪,應放在祭壇上焚燒。
26 And he that sent away the goat unto Azazel, shall wash—his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, —and, after that, shall he come 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, sin-bearing bullock, and the sin-bearing goat whose blood was brought in to make a propitiatory-covering in the holy place, shall be carried forth outside the camp, —and they shall burn up, in fire, their skins and their flesh, and their dung;
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 that hath burned them, shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, —and, after that, shall he come 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 shall become unto you, a statute age-abiding, —In the seventh month on the tenth of the month, Shall ye humble you souls And, no work, shall ye do, The home-born, Or the sojourner that sojourneth 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, shall a propitiatory-covering, be put over you, to cleanse you, —From all your sins before Yahweh, shall ye be clean.
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 A sabbath of sacred rest, it is unto you, Therefore shall ye humble your souls, A statute age-abiding.
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 Therefore shall the priest who shall be anointed, and installed, to minister as priest in the stead of his father make propitiation, —So then he shall 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 make propitiation for the holy sanctuary, And for the tent of meeting, and for the altar, shall he make propitiation, —Over the priests also and over all the people of the convocation, shall he put a covering by propitiation.
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 So shall this become unto you an age-abiding statute, —to put a propitiatory-covering over the sons of Israel because of all their sins, Once in the year. And he did, As Yahweh 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。
