Leviticus 4
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Loquere filiis Israel: Anima, quæ peccaverit per ignorantiam, et de universis mandatis Domini, quæ præcepit ut non fierent, quippiam fecerit:
“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If anyone sins unintentionally, in any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and does any one of them,
3 si sacerdos, qui unctus est, peccaverit, delinquere faciens populum, offeret pro peccato suo vitulum immaculatum Domino:
if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin which he has sinned a young bull without defect to the LORD for a sin offering.
4 et adducet illum ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii coram Domino, ponetque manum super caput eius, et immolabit eum Domino.
He shall bring the bull to the door of the Tent of Meeting before the LORD; and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull, and kill the bull before the LORD.
5 Hauriet quoque de sanguine vituli, inferens illum in tabernaculum testimonii,
The anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull, and bring it to the Tent of Meeting.
6 cumque intinxerit digitum in sanguine, asperget eo septies coram Domino contra velum Sanctuarii.
The priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the LORD, before 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 sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the Tent of Meeting; and he shall pour out the rest of the blood of the bull at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
8 Et adipem vituli auferet pro peccato, tam eum qui vitalia operit quam omnia quæ intrinsecus sunt:
He shall take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering from it: the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards,
9 duos renunculos et reticulum quod est super eos iuxta ilia, et adipem iecoris cum renunculis,
and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall remove,
10 sicut aufertur de vitulo hostiæ pacificorum: et adolebit ea super altare holocausti.
as it is removed from the bull of the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.
11 Pellem vero et omnes carnes cum capite et pedibus et intestinis et fimo,
He shall carry the bull’s skin, all its meat, with its head, and with its legs, its innards, and its dung
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 the bull—outside of the camp to a clean place where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. It shall be burnt where the ashes are poured out.
13 Quod si omnis turba Israel ignoraverit, et per imperitiam fecerit quod contra mandatum Domini est,
“‘If the whole congregation of Israel sins, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and are guilty;
14 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum, offeret pro peccato suo vitulum, adducetque eum ad ostium tabernaculi.
when the sin in which they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin offering, and bring 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 the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the LORD; and the bull shall be killed before the LORD.
16 inferet sacerdos, qui unctus est, de sanguine eius in tabernaculum testimonii,
The anointed priest shall bring some of the blood of the bull to the Tent of Meeting.
17 tincto digito aspergens septies contra velum.
The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, before 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 which is before the LORD, that is in the Tent of Meeting; and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
19 Omnemque eius adipem tollet, et adolebit super altare:
All its fat he shall take from it, 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 do this with the bull; as he did with the bull of the sin offering, so he shall do with this; and the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.
21 Ipsum autem vitulum efferet extra castra, atque comburet sicut et priorem vitulum: quia est pro peccato multitudinis.
He shall carry the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burnt the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.
22 Si peccaverit princeps, et fecerit unum e pluribus per ignorantiam, quod Domini lege prohibetur:
“‘When a ruler sins, and unwittingly does any one of all the things which the LORD his God has commanded not to be done, and is guilty,
23 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum, offeret hostiam Domino, hircum de capris immaculatum.
if his sin in which he has sinned is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without defect.
24 Ponetque manum suam super caput eius: cumque immolaverit eum loco ubi solet mactari holocaustum coram Domino, quia pro peccato est,
He shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering 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.
The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering.
26 Adipem vero adolebit supra, sicut in victimis pacificorum fieri solet: rogabitque pro eo sacerdos, et pro peccato eius, et dimittetur ei.
All its fat he shall burn on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, 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 anyone of the common people sins unwittingly, in doing any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and is guilty,
28 et cognoverit peccatum suum, offeret capram immaculatam.
if his sin which he has sinned is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without defect, for his sin which he has sinned.
29 Ponetque manum super caput hostiæ quæ pro peccato est, et immolabit eam in loco holocausti.
He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.
30 Tolletque sacerdos de sanguine in digito suo: et tangens cornua altaris holocausti, reliquum fundet ad basim eius.
The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base 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.
All its fat he shall take away, like the fat is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasant aroma to the LORD; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
32 Sin autem de pecoribus obtulerit victimam pro peccato, ovem scilicet immaculatam;
“‘If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without defect.
33 ponet manum super caput eius, et immolabit eam in loco ubi solent cædi holocaustorum hostiæ.
He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.
34 Sumetque sacerdos de sanguine eius digito suo, et tangens cornua altaris holocausti, reliquum fundet ad basim eius.
The priest shall 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 all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.
35 Omnem quoque adipem auferens, sicut auferri solet adeps arietis, qui immolatur pro pacificis: cremabit super altare in incensum Domini: rogabitque pro eo, et pro peccato eius, et dimittetur ei.
He shall remove all its fat, like the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar, on the offerings of the LORD made by fire. The priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned, and he will be forgiven.
