Leviticus 16
1 After the two sons of Aaron died because they burned incense to Yahweh [in a manner that was contrary to what Yahweh commanded], Yahweh spoke to Moses/me.
アロンのふたりの子が、主の前に近づいて死んだ後、
2 He said to him/me, “Warn your [older] brother Aaron that he must not enter the Very Holy Place inside the curtain that is in the Sacred Tent whenever he wants to, because the cover of the sacred chest is there. That is the place where the priest (makes atonement for/requests me to forgive) sins. I am present in the cloud that is over the cover of the sacred chest. If Aaron goes in that room when it is not the proper time, he will die!
主はモーセに言われた、「あなたの兄弟アロンに告げて、彼が時をわかたず、垂幕の内なる聖所に入り、箱の上なる贖罪所の前に行かぬようにさせなさい。彼が死を免れるためである。なぜなら、わたしは雲の中にあって贖罪所の上に現れるからである。
3 “When Aaron enters the Sacred Tent area, he must bring a bull that [will be killed] to become an offering/sacrifice for sins, and a ram [to be killed] to be an offering that will be completely burned [on the altar].
アロンが聖所に、はいるには、次のようにしなければならない。すなわち雄の子牛を罪祭のために取り、雄羊を燔祭のために取り、
4 Then he must bathe his whole body, and put on the linen underwear/undershorts and the linen gown. He must tie the linen sash/waistbands around his waist and wrap the turban around his head. Those are his sacred garments.
聖なる亜麻布の服を着、亜麻布のももひきをその身にまとい、亜麻布の帯をしめ、亜麻布の帽子をかぶらなければならない。これらは聖なる衣服である。彼は水に身をすすいで、これを着なければならない。
5 The Israeli people must then bring to him two male goats [to be killed] as an offering/sacrifice for sin, and a ram to be [killed and] burned completely [on the altar].
またイスラエルの人々の会衆から雄やぎ二頭を罪祭のために取り、雄羊一頭を燔祭のために取らなければならない。
6 “Aaron must offer the bull [to me] to be a sacrifice in order that (I will forgive his sins and the sins of his family/his sins and the sins of his family will be forgiven).
そしてアロンは自分のための罪祭の雄牛をささげて、自分と自分の家族のために、あがないをしなければならない。
7 Then he must bring the two male goats to me at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
アロンはまた二頭のやぎを取り、それを会見の幕屋の入口で主の前に立たせ、
8 He must (cast lots/throw down stones that have been marked) to determine which goat will be [sacrificed] to me, and which will be the goat that will be set free.
その二頭のやぎのために、くじを引かなければならない。すなわち一つのくじは主のため、一つのくじはアザゼルのためである。
9 Aaron must bring to me the goat that was chosen to be sacrificed. It will be an offering for the people’s sins.
そしてアロンは主のためのくじに当ったやぎをささげて、これを罪祭としなければならない。
10 Aaron must also bring to me the other goat, but it is not to be killed. It will be freed while it is still alive. As a result of Aaron sending it into the desert, the people’s sins will be forgiven.
しかし、アザゼルのためのくじに当ったやぎは、主の前に生かしておき、これをもって、あがないをなし、これをアザゼルのために、荒野に送らなければならない。
11 “Then Aaron must bring the young bull to me, to be an offering/sacrifice for himself and for his family. He must slaughter that bull to be an offering for their sins, [and he must drain the blood into a basin].
すなわち、アロンは自分のための罪祭の雄牛をささげて、自分と自分の家族のために、あがないをしなければならない。彼は自分のための罪祭の雄牛をほふり、
12 Then he must take some burning coals from the [bronze] altar and put them in the incense burner. Then he must fill his hands with fragrant finely-ground incense. Then he must take the incense and the incense burner inside the curtain into the Very Holy Place [of the Sacred Tent].
主の前の祭壇から炭火を満たした香炉と、細かくひいた香ばしい薫香を両手いっぱい取って、これを垂幕の内に携え入り、
13 There he must put the incense on the burning coals, with the result that a cloud of burning incense will rise up over the lid of the sacred chest. If he obeys these instructions, he will not die [like Korah’s two sons did because of offering incense incorrectly] (OR, [because of being in God’s presence]).
主の前で薫香をその火にくべ、薫香の雲に、あかしの箱の上なる贖罪所をおおわせなければならない。こうして、彼は死を免れるであろう。
14 Then he must dip his finger into [the basin] and sprinkle some blood on the lid of the sacred chest, and also sprinkle some blood seven times against the front of the chest.
彼はまたその雄牛の血を取り、指をもってこれを贖罪所の東の面に注ぎ、また指をもってその血を贖罪所の前に、七たび注がなければならない。
15 [“Aaron must then go outside the Sacred Tent] and slaughter the goat to be an offering for the sins of the people. Then he must bring its blood into the Very Holy Place behind the curtain. There he must sprinkle [some of] that blood on the lid of the sacred chest and against the front of the chest, like he did with the bull’s blood.
また民のための罪祭のやぎをほふり、その血を垂幕の内に携え入り、その血をかの雄牛の血のように、贖罪所の上と、贖罪所の前に注ぎ、
16 By doing that, he will purify the Very Holy Place. And he must sprinkle more of the blood on the Sacred Tent, because the tent is in the midst of the camp of the Israeli people who have become unacceptable to me [because of their sins].
イスラエルの人々の汚れと、そのとが、すなわち、彼らのもろもろの罪のゆえに、聖所のためにあがないをしなければならない。また彼らの汚れのうちに、彼らと共にある会見の幕屋のためにも、そのようにしなければならない。
17 When Aaron goes into the Very Holy Place [in the Sacred Tent] to purify it, no one else is permitted to enter [the other part of] the Sacred Tent. Only after Aaron has performed rituals to enable me to forgive him and his family, and all the Israeli people, is any priest permitted to enter the Sacred Tent.
彼が聖所であがないをするために、はいった時は、自分と自分の家族と、イスラエルの全会衆とのために、あがないをなし終えて出るまで、だれも会見の幕屋の内にいてはならない。
18 “Then Aaron must go outside the tent to purify my altar. He must do this by smearing some of the blood from the bull and some of the blood from the goat on each of the projections at the corners of the altar.
そして彼は主の前の祭壇のもとに出てきて、これがために、あがないをしなければならない、すなわち、かの雄牛の血と、やぎの血とを取って祭壇の四すみの角につけ、
19 Then Aaron must dip his finger into the [basin of] blood and sprinkle some of the blood over the altar seven times. By doing that, he will cleanse it from being unholy [because of the sins] of the Israeli people, and it will become holy again.
また指をもって七たびその血をその上に注ぎ、イスラエルの人々の汚れを除いてこれを清くし、聖別しなければならない。
20 “When Aaron has finished purifying the Very Holy Place [inside the Sacred Tent] and all of the Sacred Tent and the altar, he must bring the goat that was chosen to be set free.
こうして聖所と会見の幕屋と祭壇とのために、あがないをなし終えたとき、かの生きているやぎを引いてこなければならない。
21 He must put both of his hands on the head of the goat and confess all the sins [DOU] of the Israeli people. By doing that, he will put [the guilt of] their sins on the head of the goat. Then he must give the goat to a man who is chosen, and that man will send the goat out into the desert.
そしてアロンは、その生きているやぎの頭に両手をおき、イスラエルの人々のもろもろの悪と、もろもろのとが、すなわち、彼らのもろもろの罪をその上に告白して、これをやぎの頭にのせ、定めておいた人の手によって、これを荒野に送らなければならない。
22 [It is as though] the goat will carry away into the desert [the guilt for] the sins of all the people.
こうしてやぎは彼らのもろもろの悪をになって、人里離れた地に行くであろう。すなわち、そのやぎを荒野に送らなければならない。
23 “When Aaron approaches the Sacred Tent, he must take off the linen clothes that he wore when he [previously] entered the Very Holy Place, and he must leave those clothes there.
そして、アロンは会見の幕屋に入り、聖所に入る時に着た亜麻布の衣服を脱いで、そこに置き、
24 Then he must bathe in a sacred place, put on his regular/ordinary clothes, and sacrifice the animals that will be burned completely on the altar for his own sins and for the sins of the Israeli people. By doing that he will enable me to forgive him and them.
聖なる所で水に身をすすぎ、他の衣服を着、出てきて、自分の燔祭と民の燔祭とをささげて、自分のため、また民のために、あがないをしなければならない。
25 He must also burn on the altar all the fat of the bull and the goat that were sacrificed.
また罪祭の脂肪を祭壇の上で焼かなければならない。
26 “The man who was chosen to send the other goat into the desert and free it there must afterwards wash his clothes and bathe. Then he may return to the camp.
かのやぎをアザゼルに送った者は衣服を洗い、水に身をすすがなければならない。その後、宿営に入ることができる。
27 The carcasses of the bull and the goat that were slaughtered to be an offering/sacrifice for the people’s sins, whose blood was taken inside the Very Holy Place to enable Yahweh to forgive the Israeli people, must be carried outside the camp and burned. The hides/skins of the animals, the inner organs, and the dung must also be burned.
聖所で、あがないをするために、その血を携え入れられた罪祭の雄牛と、罪祭のやぎとは、宿営の外に携え出し、その皮と肉と汚物とは、火で焼き捨てなければならない。
28 The man who burns those things must then wash his clothes and bathe before he returns to the camp.
これを焼く者は衣服を洗い、水に身をすすがなければならない。その後、宿営に入ることができる。
29 “On (October/the month after the dry season ends), on the day that I have appointed, you all must (fast/abstain from eating food) and not do any work. This is a rule/law that will never end. It must be obeyed by you people who have been Israelis all your lives, and also by foreigners who are living among you.
これはあなたがたが永久に守るべき定めである。すなわち、七月になって、その月の十日に、あなたがたは身を悩まし、何の仕事もしてはならない。この国に生れた者も、あなたがたのうちに宿っている寄留者も、そうしなければならない。
30 On that day, Aaron will perform rituals to enable me to forgive you all, and then I will cleanse/free you all from [the guilt of] all your sins and you will become acceptable to me.
この日にあなたがたのため、あなたがたを清めるために、あがないがなされ、あなたがたは主の前に、もろもろの罪が清められるからである。
31 That will be a day for you to rest and not do any work, like the Sabbath days, and you must (fast/abstain from eating food) all that day. That is a permanent command/law for you all to obey.
これはあなたがたの全き休みの安息日であって、あなたがたは身を悩まさなければならない。これは永久に守るべき定めである。
32 In future years, [after Aaron has died], this ritual/ceremony to enable me to forgive you all [DOU] will be performed by the Supreme Priest who is anointed [with olive oil] and appointed to serve instead of his ancestor Aaron. He must put on the sacred clothes made of linen
油を注がれ、父に代って祭司の職に任じられる祭司は、亜麻布の衣服、すなわち、聖なる衣服を着て、あがないをしなければならない。
33 and offer sacrifices to purify the Very Holy Place, all of the Sacred Tent, the altar, the priests, and all the Israel people [like Aaron did].
彼は至聖所のために、あがないをなし、また会見の幕屋のためと、祭壇のために、あがないをなし、また祭司たちのためと、民の全会衆のために、あがないをしなければならない。
34 This will be a permanent command/law for you to obey once every year, to enable me to forgive you Israeli people for the sins that you have committed.” Moses/I obeyed all those instructions/commands that Yahweh had given to him/me.
これはあなたがたの永久に守るべき定めであって、イスラエルの人々のもろもろの罪のために、年に一度あがないをするものである」。彼は主がモーセに命じられたとおりにおこなった。
