Leviticus 4
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
The Lord told Moses,
2 Loquere filiis Israel: Anima, quæ peccaverit per ignorantiam, et de universis mandatis Domini, quæ præcepit ut non fierent, quippiam fecerit:
“Tell the Israelites that these are the rules to handle cases of those who sin unintentionally against any of the Lord's commandments and do what is not permitted.
3 si sacerdos, qui unctus est, peccaverit, delinquere faciens populum, offeret pro peccato suo vitulum immaculatum Domino:
If it is the high priest who sins and brings guilt on everyone, he must present to the Lord a young bull without defects as a sin offering for his sin.
4 et adducet illum ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii coram Domino, ponetque manum super caput eius, et immolabit eum Domino.
He must take the bull to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting before the Lord, put his hand on its head and kill it before the Lord.
5 Hauriet quoque de sanguine vituli, inferens illum in tabernaculum testimonii,
Then the high priest shall take some of the bull's blood into the Tent of Meeting.
6 cumque intinxerit digitum in sanguine, asperget eo septies coram Domino contra velum Sanctuarii.
The high priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the Lord in front of the veil of the sanctuary.
7 Ponetque de eodem sanguine super cornua altaris thymiamatis gratissimi Domino, quod est in tabernaculo testimonii. Omnem autem reliquum sanguinem fundet in basim altaris holocausti in introitu tabernaculi.
The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of aromatic incense that stands before the Lord in the Tent of Meeting. The rest of the bull's blood he is to pour out at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
8 Et adipem vituli auferet pro peccato, tam eum qui vitalia operit quam omnia quæ intrinsecus sunt:
Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering: all the fat that covers the insides,
9 duos renunculos et reticulum quod est super eos iuxta ilia, et adipem iecoris cum renunculis,
both kidneys with the fat on them by the loins, and the best part of the liver, which he is to remove together with the kidneys
10 sicut aufertur de vitulo hostiæ pacificorum: et adolebit ea super altare holocausti.
in the same way as the fat is removed from the bull of the peace offering. Then the priest shall then burn this on the altar of burnt offering.
11 Pellem vero et omnes carnes cum capite et pedibus et intestinis et fimo,
But the skin of the bull, all its flesh, head, legs, insides and waste—
12 et reliquo corpore, efferet extra castra in locum mundum, ubi cineres effundi solent: incendetque ea super lignorum struem, quæ in loco effusorum cinerum cremabuntur.
all the rest of it—he has to take outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean, where the ashes are dumped, and he must burn it on a wood fire there on the ash heap.
13 Quod si omnis turba Israel ignoraverit, et per imperitiam fecerit quod contra mandatum Domini est,
If the whole Israelite community goes astray unintentionally, and even though they are unaware of doing what is not permitted by any of the Lord's commandments, they are all still guilty.
14 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum, offeret pro peccato suo vitulum, adducetque eum ad ostium tabernaculi.
When they realize their sin, then they must bring a young bull as a sin offering and present it before the Tent of Meeting.
15 Et ponent seniores populi manus super caput eius coram Domino. Immolatoque vitulo in conspectu Domini,
The elders of Israel are to put their hands on its head and kill it before the Lord.
16 inferet sacerdos, qui unctus est, de sanguine eius in tabernaculum testimonii,
Then the high priest shall take some of the bull's blood into the Tent of Meeting.
17 tincto digito aspergens septies contra velum.
He shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front of the veil.
18 Ponetque de eodem sanguine in cornibus altaris, quod est coram Domino in tabernaculo testimonii: reliquum autem sanguinem fundet iuxta basim altaris holocaustorum, quod est in ostio tabernaculi testimonii.
He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that stands before the Lord in the Tent of Meeting. Then he is to pour out the rest of the bull's blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
19 Omnemque eius adipem tollet, et adolebit super altare:
Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull and burn it on the altar.
20 sic faciens et de hoc vitulo quo modo fecit et prius: et rogante pro eis sacerdote, propitius erit eis Dominus.
He shall offer this bull in the same way he did for the sin offering. This is how the priest will make them right, and they will be forgiven.
21 Ipsum autem vitulum efferet extra castra, atque comburet sicut et priorem vitulum: quia est pro peccato multitudinis.
Then he shall take the bull outside the camp and burn it, just as he burned the bull previously mentioned. It is the sin offering for the whole community.
22 Si peccaverit princeps, et fecerit unum e pluribus per ignorantiam, quod Domini lege prohibetur:
If a leader sins unintentionally and does what is not permitted by any of the commandments of the Lord his God, he is guilty.
23 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum, offeret hostiam Domino, hircum de capris immaculatum.
When he realizes his sin, he must bring a male goat without defects as his offering.
24 Ponetque manum suam super caput eius: cumque immolaverit eum loco ubi solet mactari holocaustum coram Domino, quia pro peccato est,
He must put his hand on the head of the goat and kill it at the place where the burnt offering is killed before the Lord. It is a sin offering.
25 tinget sacerdos digitum in sanguine hostiæ pro peccato, tangens cornua altaris holocausti, et reliquum fundens ad basim eius.
Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar.
26 Adipem vero adolebit supra, sicut in victimis pacificorum fieri solet: rogabitque pro eo sacerdos, et pro peccato eius, et dimittetur ei.
He shall burn all its fat on the altar like the fat of the peace offerings. In this way the priest will make the man's sin right, and he will be forgiven.
27 Quod si peccaverit anima per ignorantiam, de populo terræ, ut faciat quidquam de his, quæ Domini lege prohibentur, atque delinquat,
If any other Israelite sins unintentionally and does what is not permitted by any of the commandments of the Lord his God, he is guilty.
28 et cognoverit peccatum suum, offeret capram immaculatam.
When he realizes his sin, he must bring a female goat without defects as his offering for that sin.
29 Ponetque manum super caput hostiæ quæ pro peccato est, et immolabit eam in loco holocausti.

Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar.
31 Omnem autem adipem auferens, sicut auferri solet de victimis pacificorum, adolebit super altare in odorem suavitatis Domino: rogabitque pro eo, et dimittetur ei.
He shall remove all its fat like the fat of the peace offerings and burn it on the altar and it will be to be accepted by the Lord. In this way the priest will make the man's sin right, and he will be forgiven.
32 Sin autem de pecoribus obtulerit victimam pro peccato, ovem scilicet immaculatam;
If he brings a lamb as a sin offering, he is to bring a female without defects.
33 ponet manum super caput eius, et immolabit eam in loco ubi solent cædi holocaustorum hostiæ.
He must put his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill it as a sin offering at the place at the place where the burnt offering is killed.

Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar.

He shall remove all its fat like the fat of the lamb is removed from the peace offerings and burn it on the altar and it will be to be accepted by the Lord. In this way the priest will make the man's sin right, and he will be forgiven.
