レビ記 4
1 主はまたモーセに言われた、
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 「イスラエルの人々に言いなさい、『もし人があやまって罪を犯し、主のいましめにそむいて、してはならないことの一つをした時は次のようにしなければならない。
“Say this to the Israeli people: This is what must be done if someone sins without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of Yahweh’s commands.
3 すなわち、油注がれた祭司が罪を犯して、とがを民に及ぼすならば、彼はその犯した罪のために雄の全き子牛を罪祭として主にささげなければならない。
'If the Supreme [MTY] Priest sins, and that causes all the people to be guilty, he must bring to Yahweh a young bull that has no defects. That will be an offering for the sin that he has committed.
4 その子牛を会見の幕屋の入口に連れてきて主の前に至り、その子牛の頭に手を置き、その子牛を主の前で、ほふらなければならない。
He must bring the bull to the entrance to the Sacred Tent. He must lay his hands on its head. Then he must slaughter it in front of Yahweh [and drain some of the blood into a bowl].
5 油注がれた祭司は、その子牛の血を取って、それを会見の幕屋に携え入り、
Then the Supreme Priest must take some of that blood into the Sacred Tent.
6 そして祭司は指をその血に浸して、聖所の垂幕の前で主の前にその血を七たび注がなければならない。
He must dip [one of] his fingers into the blood and sprinkle it seven times in the presence of Yahweh, in front of the curtain [that separates the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place].
7 祭司はまたその血を取り、主の前で会見の幕屋の中にある香ばしい薫香の祭壇の角に、それを塗らなければならない。その子牛の血の残りはことごとく会見の幕屋の入口にある燔祭の祭壇のもとに注がなければならない。
Then he must put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the altar where fragrant incense is burned in the Sacred Tent in the presence of Yahweh. The remaining part of the bull’s blood [that is still in the bowl], he must pour out at the base of the altar, where sacrifices are burned, at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
8 またその罪祭の子牛から、すべての脂肪を取らなければならない。すなわち内臓をおおう脂肪と内臓の上のすべての脂肪、
From that offering the Supreme Priest must separate these things from the bull that is to be burned: The fat that covers the inner parts of the bull or which is attached to them—
9 二つの腎臓とその上の腰のあたりにある脂肪、ならびに腎臓と共に取られる肝臓の上の小葉である。
the kidneys and the fat that is attached to them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.
10 これを取るには酬恩祭の犠牲の雄牛から取るのと同じようにしなければならない。そして祭司はそれを燔祭の祭壇の上で焼かなければならない。
Then the Supreme Priest must completely burn those things on the altar. That will be just like when the fat is removed from an animal that is sacrificed to maintain good fellowship [with Yahweh].
11 その子牛の皮とそのすべての肉、およびその頭と足と内臓と汚物など、
But all the other parts of the animal—its skin/hide and all its other meat, its head and its legs, its inner parts and the intestines,
12 すべてその子牛の残りは、これを宿営の外の、清い場所なる灰捨場に携え出し、火をもってこれをたきぎの上で焼き捨てなければならない。すなわちこれは灰捨場で焼き捨てらるべきである。
he must take outside the camp and throw them in a place that is acceptable to Yahweh, where the ashes are thrown, and he must burn them in a fire on the pile of ashes.
13 もしイスラエルの全会衆があやまちを犯し、そのことが会衆の目に隠れていても、主のいましめにそむいて、してはならないことの一つをなして、とがを得たならば、
‘If all the Israeli people sin without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of Yahweh’s commands, they will be guilty, even if they do not realize that they have sinned.
14 その犯した罪が現れた時、会衆は雄の子牛を罪祭としてささげなければならない。すなわちそれを会見の幕屋の前に連れてきて、
When they realize that they have committed a sin, together they must bring a young bull to be an offering for their sin, to the front of the Sacred Tent.
15 会衆の長老たちは、主の前でその子牛の頭に手を置き、その子牛を主の前で、ほふらなければならない。
The elders must lay their hands on the bull’s head in the presence of Yahweh and slaughter it [and catch some of the blood in a bowl].
16 そして、油注がれた祭司は、その子牛の血を会見の幕屋に携え入り、
Then the Supreme [MTY] Priest must take some of that blood into the Sacred Tent.
17 祭司は指をその血に浸し、垂幕の前で主の前に七たび注がなければならない。
‘He must dip [one of] his fingers into the blood and sprinkle it seven times in the presence of Yahweh, in front of the curtain [that separates the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place].
18 またその血を取って、会見の幕屋の中の主の前にある祭壇の角に、それを塗らなければならない。その血の残りはことごとく会見の幕屋の入口にある燔祭の祭壇のもとに注がなければならない。
Then he must put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the altar that is in the presence of Yahweh in the Sacred Tent. The remaining part of the bull’s blood, he must pour out at the base of the altar where sacrifices are burned, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
19 またそのすべての脂肪を取って祭壇の上で焼かなければならない。
He must remove all the animal’s fat and burn it on the altar.
20 すなわち祭司は罪祭の雄牛にしたように、この雄牛にも、しなければならない。こうして、祭司が彼らのためにあがないをするならば、彼らはゆるされるであろう。
He must do with this bull the same things that he did with the bull that was an offering for his own sins, and they will be forgiven {Yahweh will forgive them}.
21 そして、彼はその雄牛を宿営の外に携え出し、はじめの雄牛を焼き捨てたように、これを焼き捨てなければならない。これは会衆の罪祭である。
Then the priest must take [the other parts of] the bull outside the camp and burn them, like he does when he himself has sinned. That will be the offering for the sin that all the people have committed, and they will be forgiven.
22 またつかさたる者が罪を犯し、あやまって、その神、主のいましめにそむき、してはならないことの一つをして、とがを得、
‘When one of the leaders sins without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of the commands of Yahweh his God, he will be guilty.
23 もしその犯した罪を知るようになったときは、供え物として雄やぎの全きものを連れてきて、
When he realizes that he has committed a sin, he must bring as his offering a male goat that has no defects.
24 そのやぎの頭に手を置き、燔祭をほふる場所で、主の前にこれをほふらなければならない。これは罪祭である。
He must lay his hands on the goat’s head in the presence of Yahweh and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter {are slaughtered} the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar]. That will be an offering for his sin.
25 祭司は指でその罪祭の血を取り、燔祭の祭壇の角にそれを塗り、残りの血は燔祭の祭壇のもとに注がなければならない。
Then the priest must put some of the animal’s blood [into a bowl] and dip [one of] his fingers in it and put some of the blood on the corners of the projections of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
26 また、そのすべての脂肪は、酬恩祭の犠牲の脂肪と同じように、祭壇の上で焼かなければならない。こうして、祭司が彼のためにその罪のあがないをするならば、彼はゆるされるであろう。
Then he must burn all the fat on the altar, as was done with the fat of the offering to maintain good fellowship [with Yahweh]. As a result of the priest’s doing that, the leader will no longer be guilty for his sin and he will be forgiven.
27 また一般の人がもしあやまって罪を犯し、主のいましめにそむいて、してはならないことの一つをして、とがを得、
‘If one of the Israeli people who is not a priest sins without intending to sin, and does something that is forbidden in any of the commands of Yahweh his God, he will be guilty.
28 その犯した罪を知るようになったときは、その犯した罪のために供え物として雌やぎの全きものを連れてきて、
When he realizes that he has committed a sin, he must bring as his offering a female goat that has no defects.
29 その罪祭の頭に手を置き、燔祭をほふる場所で、その罪祭をほふらなければならない。
He must lay his hands on the goat’s head and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar, and catch some of the blood in a bowl].
30 そして祭司は指でその血を取り、燔祭の祭壇の角にこれを塗り、残りの血をことごとく祭壇のもとに注がなければならない。
Then the priest must dip [one of] his fingers in the blood, and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
31 またそのすべての脂肪は酬恩祭の犠牲から脂肪を取るのと同じように取り、これを祭壇の上で焼いて主にささげる香ばしいかおりとしなければならない。こうして祭司が彼のためにあがないをするならば、彼はゆるされるであろう。
Then he must remove all the goat’s fat, and burn all the fat on the altar, like was done with the fat of the offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh. As a result of the priest doing that, the person will no longer be guilty for his sin, and he will be forgiven.
32 もし小羊を罪祭のために供え物として連れてくるならば、雌の全きものを連れてこなければならない。
‘If that person brings a lamb to be his offering for sin, he must bring a female lamb that has no defects.
33 その罪祭の頭に手を置き、燔祭をほふる場所で、これをほふり、罪祭としなければならない。
He must lay his hands on the lamb’s head and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar, and catch some of the blood in a bowl].
34 そして祭司は指でその罪祭の血を取り、燔祭の祭壇の角にそれを塗り、残りの血はことごとく祭壇のもとに注がなければならない。
Then the priest must dip [one of] his fingers in the blood and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
35 またそのすべての脂肪は酬恩祭の犠牲から小羊の脂肪を取るのと同じように取り、祭司はこれを主にささげる火祭のように祭壇の上で焼かなければならない。こうして祭司が彼の犯した罪のためにあがないをするならば、彼はゆるされるであろう。
Then he must remove all the lamb’s fat, and burn all the fat on the altar, like was done with the fat of the offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. He must burn it on top of the other offerings to Yahweh that are being burned. As a result, the priest will request God to forgive that person for his sin, and he will be forgiven.’”
