< Leviticus 5 >

1 [Yahweh also said to tell the people], “If [a judge] orders any of you to tell [in court] something that you have seen or something that you heard someone say, if you refuse to say what you know is true, you must (pay a penalty/be punished) [MTY] for refusing to tell what you know.
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 If you accidentally touch something which God considers impure [DOU], such as the carcass of a wild animal or the carcass of a bull or cow, or of an animal that scurries across the ground, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).
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 If you touch any human feces, even if you do not intend to do that, when you realize what you have done, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).
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 If you carelessly make a solemn promise [to do something] that is good or that is bad, when you realize what you have done, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).
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 If you are guilty of committing any of those sins, you must confess what you have done.
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 for a penalty you must bring to Yahweh a female lamb or female goat, to be an offering for the sin that you have committed, and the priest will sacrifice it, and then you will no longer be guilty for your 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 If you [are poor and] cannot afford to bring a lamb, you must bring to Yahweh two doves or two young pigeons. One will be an offering for your sin and one will be an offering that will be completely burned [on the altar].
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 You must bring them to the priest. First he will offer one of them to be an offering for your sin. He will wring/twist its neck [to kill it], but he must not pull off its head completely.
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 Then he must sprinkle some of the blood against the side of the altar. The remaining blood must be drained out at the base of the altar. That will be an offering for your 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 The priest will then do what I have commanded and offer the other bird to be completely burned [on the altar]. Then you will no longer be guilty for the sin you have committed, and Yahweh will forgive you.
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 However, if you [are very poor and] cannot afford two doves or two young pigeons, you must bring to be an offering for your sin (2 pounds/1 kg.) of fine flour. You must not put olive oil or incense on it, because it is an offering 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 You must take it to the priest. He will take a handful of it, to symbolize that the whole offering truly belongs to Yahweh, and burn it on the altar, on top of the other offerings.
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 And by doing that, the priest will enable you to no longer be guilty for any of the sins that you have committed, and you will be forgiven. The part of the offering that is not burned will belong to the priest, like was true for the offerings made from grain.”
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 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
上主訓示梅瑟說:「
15 “When you sin, without intending to, by not giving to Yahweh the things that you are required to give to him, you must pay a penalty by bringing to Yahweh a ram that has no defects. You must determine how much silver it is worth, by using the official standard in the temple. It will be an offering to cause you to no longer be guilty.
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 But you must also make restitution for what you failed to give to Yahweh, adding one-fifth of its value. You must give that to the priest. He will offer the ram as a sacrifice for the sin that you have committed, and cause you to no longer be guilty; and you will be forgiven.
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 you sin by doing something that is forbidden by any of Yahweh’s commands, even if you do not know that you have disobeyed one of my commands, you are guilty and must pay a penalty [to me].
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 [When you realize what you have done], you must bring a ram to the Supreme Priest to be an offering in order that you will no longer be guilty. You must bring one that has no defects. He will offer the ram to be a sacrifice to me, and as a result you will no longer be guilty for the sin that you have committed, and you will be forgiven.
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 It is an offering to cause you to no longer be guilty for sinning against me.”
這是贖過祭,是他應向上主獻的贖過祭。」
