Numbers 15
1 Then Yahweh told Moses/me,
上主訓示梅瑟說：「
2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: When you arrive in the land that I am giving to you,
你吩咐以色列子民說：你們進入了我賜給你們居住的地方時，
3 you must offer to me special sacrifices which will be pleasing to me [when the priest burns them on the altar]. Some of them may be offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar]. Some of them may be to indicate that you have made a solemn promise to me. Some of them may be offerings that you yourselves have decided to make. Some of them may be offerings at one of the festivals that you celebrate each year. These offerings may be taken from your herds [of cattle] or from your flocks [of sheep and goats].
如要以牛或羊獻給上主作火祭，或作全燔祭，或作任何祭獻，或為還願，或出於自願，或因逢節期，以之作為悅樂上主的馨香祭，
4 When you give these offerings, you must also bring to me a grain offering of two quarts/liters of nice flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil.
獻祭的人應給上主加獻十分之一「厄法」細麵，調和四分之一「辛」油，作為素祭。
5 When you offer a lamb to be a sacrifice to be completely burned, you must also pour on the altar one quart/liter of wine.
此外，為全燔祭或為任何祭獻，還應奠上酒：為每隻公羔羊，奠四分之一「辛」酒。
6 ‘When you offer a ram to be a sacrifice, you must also bring an offering of four quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with (a third of a gallon/1.3 liters) of [olive] oil.
如果是隻公綿羊，應加獻十分之二「厄法」細麵，調和上三分之一「辛」油，作為素祭；
7 And also pour on the altar (a third of a gallon/1.3 liters) of wine. While they are being burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me.
再奠上三分之一「辛」酒，作為悅樂上主的馨香祭。
8 ‘Sometimes you will offer a young bull to be completely burned on the altar. Sometimes you will offer a sacrifice to indicate that you have made a solemn promise to me. Sometimes you will offer a sacrifice to maintain fellowship with me.
如果你以一隻牛犢獻作全燔祭或任何祭獻，或為還願，或獻與上主作和平祭，
9 When you offer these sacrifices, you must also offer a grain offering of six quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with two quarts/liters of [olive] oil.
除牛犢外，還應加獻十分之三「厄法」細麵，調和上半「辛」油，作為素祭；
10 Also pour on the altar two quarts/liters of wine to be an offering. While those special gifts are being burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me.
再奠上半「辛」酒，作為悅樂上主的馨香火祭。
11 Each time someone offers a bull or a ram or a male lamb or a young goat to be a sacrifice, it must be done that way.
每獻一頭公牛，或一隻公綿羊，或一隻公羔羊，或一隻公山羊，都應照此而行；
12 You must obey these instructions for each animal that you bring to me for an offering.
你們所獻的數目無論多少，為每一隻都應照此而行。
13 ‘All of you people who have been Israelis all of your lives must obey these regulations when you offer sacrifices that will be pleasing to me when they are burned on the altar.
本地人不論誰，獻悅樂上主的馨香火祭時，都應這樣行。
14 If any foreigners visit you or live among you, if they also want to bring a sacrifice that will be pleasing to me when it is burned on the altar, they must obey these same instructions.
幾時一個與你們同住的，或與你們的後代同住的外方人，願獻悅樂上主的馨香火祭，你們怎樣行，他也應怎樣行。
15 I consider that those who have always been Israelis and those who are foreigners are equal, and so they must all obey the same instructions. All of your descendants must also continue to obey these instructions.
全會眾，不論是為你們，或為與你們同住的外方人，只有一樣的規定；這為你們世世代代，是一永遠的規定：在上主面前你們與外方人一樣；
16 You Israelis and the foreigners who live among you must all obey the same instructions.”
為你們和與你們同住的外方人，只有一種法律，只有一種制度。」
17 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
上主訓示梅瑟說：「
18 “Tell these instructions to the Israeli people: [Yahweh says this]: ‘When you arrive in the land to which I am taking you,
你吩咐以色列子民說：幾時你們進入了我引你們去的地方，
19 and you eat the crops that are growing there, you must set some of them aside to be a sacred offering to me.
吃那地方的食糧時，應拿一分獻給上主作禮品：
20 [Each year] set aside some of the first grain that you gather after you have threshed it. Bake a loaf of bread from the first flour that you grind and bring it to me to be a sacred offering.
由初熟的麥麵團中，獻一個餅作禮品，有如奉獻纔從禾場打下之物一樣。
21 Every year, you and your descendants must continue to make and bring to me [a loaf of bread baked] [MTY] [with flour] from the first part of the grain that you harvest.’”
你們世世代代，應從初熟麥麵團中取出，獻給上主作禮品。
22 “‘There may be times when you Israelis do not obey all these instructions that I have given to Moses to tell you, but not because you intended to disobey them.
如果你們誤犯了過失，而沒有遵行上主向梅瑟所吩咐的某條誡命，
23 There may be times when some of your descendants do not obey all these instructions that I have given to Moses to tell to you.
即上主藉梅瑟向你們所吩咐的，由上主出命之日起，直到你們世世代代，
24 If you or they sin [by forgetting to obey these instructions] and none of the Israeli people realize that they were doing that, one young bull as an offering for all the people [must be brought to the priest]. That will be pleasing to me [when it is burned on the altar]. They must also bring to me a grain offering and an offering of wine, and a male goat, to be sacrificed to enable me to forgive them for the sins they have committed.
那麼，如果是會眾出於無心誤犯了過失，全會眾應獻一公牛犢當全燔祭，作為悅樂上主的馨香祭，並依照禮規獻素祭和奠酒禮，再獻一公山羊作贖罪祭。
25 [By offering these sacrifices], the priest will make atonement for all of you Israeli people. Then, as a result of their bringing to me an offering to be burned [on the altar], (you will be forgiven/I will forgive you), because you sinned without realizing that you were sinning.
司祭應為以色列子民全會眾行贖罪禮，他們即可獲得赦免，因為這是無心之過。當他們為這無心之過，給上主奉獻了火祭，並在上主面前獻了贖罪祭後，
26 You Israeli people and the foreigners who are living among you will all be forgiven.
以色列子民全會眾以及住在你們中的外方人，都獲得赦免，因為全人民犯了無心之過。
27 If one person commits a sin without realizing that he was sinning, that person must bring to me a female goat to be an offering to enable me to forgive that person for the sins that person has committed.
如果是一人出於無心犯了罪，應獻一隻一歲的母山羊作贖罪祭。
28 The priest will offer it to be a sacrifice to remove the guilt of that person, and that person will be forgiven.
司祭為這犯無心之過的人，在上主面前行贖罪禮，因為他由於無心犯了罪；為他行了贖罪禮，他即可獲得赦免。
29 You Israelis and all the foreigners who live among you must obey these same instructions.
凡以色列子民，不拘是本地人或住在你們中的外方人，對誤犯過失的人，只有一條法律。
30 But those who disobey my commands (deliberately/because they want to), both Israelis and the foreigners who live among you, have sinned against me [by doing that]. So (they must be expelled/you must expel them) from your camp.
但如果一人，不論是本地人，或是外方人，敢大膽妄為，侮辱上主，這人應由民間剷除；
31 They have despised my commands and deliberately disobeyed them, so they must be punished for their sin by not being allowed to live among you any more.’”
因為他輕視了上主的話，違犯了他的誡命，這人應被除滅，應自負罪債。」
32 One day, while the Israelis were in the desert, some of them saw a man who was gathering firewood on the Sabbath/rest day.
以色列子民尚在曠野的時候，遇見一人在安息日拾柴，
33 Those who saw him doing that brought him to Aaron and Moses/me and the rest of the Israeli people.
遇見他拾柴的人，就帶他到梅瑟及亞郎和全會眾前；
34 They guarded him carefully, because they did not know what to do [to punish] him.
他們將他押在看守所內，因為尚未指明應如何處置他。
35 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The man must be executed. All of you must [kill him by throwing] stones at him outside the camp.”
那時上主對梅瑟說：「這人應處死刑，全會眾應在營外用石頭將他砸死。」
36 So they all took the man outside the camp and killed him by throwing stones at him, as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me that they should do.
全會眾遂拉他到營外，用石頭砸死他，照上主對梅瑟所吩咐的。
37 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
上主訓示梅瑟說：「
38 “Tell this to the Israeli people: You and all your descendants must [twist threads together to] make tassels, and then attach them with blue cords to the bottom edges of your clothes.
你吩咐以色列子民，命他們世世代代，在自己衣邊上做上繸頭；衣邊的每個繸頭，應用紫繩繫著。
39 When you look at the tassels, you will remember all the instructions that I gave to you, and you will obey them, instead of doing what you desire and as a result causing yourselves to become unacceptable to me.
這繸頭是為叫你們一看見，就想起上主的誡命，依照遵行，免得你們隨從心中和眼目的慾望，而放縱淫亂。
40 Seeing those tassels will help you to remember that you must obey all my commands and that you must be (my holy people/dedicated to me).
這樣，你們必對我的一切誡命，懷念不忘，依照遵行；這樣在你們的天主面前，你們常是聖潔的。
41 Do not forget that I am Yahweh, your God. I am the one who brought you out of Egypt in order that you might belong to me. I am Yahweh, your God.”
我上主是你們的天主，我領你們出埃及是為作你們的天主：我上主是你們的天主。」
