Leviticus 5

1 Si peccaverit anima, et audierit vocem iurantis, testisque fuerit quod aut ipse vidit, aut conscius est: nisi indicaverit, portabit iniquitatem suam.

And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and he is a witness or has seen or been conscious, if he do not report it, he shall bear his iniquity.

2 Anima, quæ tetigerit aliquid immundum, sive quod occisum a bestia est, aut per se mortuum, aut quodlibet aliud reptile: et oblita fuerit immunditiæ suæ, rea est, et deliquit:

That soul which shall touch any unclean thing, or carcase, or [that which is] unclean being taken of beasts, or the dead bodies of abominable [reptiles] which are unclean, or carcases of unclean cattle,

3 et si tetigerit quidquam de immunditia hominis iuxta omnem impuritatem, qua pollui solet, oblitaque cognoverit postea, subiacebit delicto.

or should touch the uncleanness of a man, or whatever kind, which he may touch and be defiled by, and it should have escaped him, but afterwards he should know, —then he shall have transgressed.

4 Anima, quæ iuraverit, et protulerit labiis suis ut vel male quid faceret, vel bene, et idipsum iuramento et sermone firmaverit, oblitaque postea intellexerit delictum suum,

That unrighteous soul, which determines with his lips to do evil or to do good according to whatsoever a man may determine with an oath, and it shall have escaped his notice, and he shall [afterwards] know [it], and [so] he should sin in some one of these things:

5 agat pœnitentiam pro peccato,

—then shall he declare his sin in the tings wherein he has sinned by that sin.

6 et offerat de gregibus agnam sive capram, orabitque pro ea sacerdos et pro peccato eius:

And he shall bring for his transgressions against the Lord, for his sin which he has sinned, a ewe lamb of the flock, or a kid of the goats, for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he has sinned, and his sin shall be forgiven him.

7 sin autem non potuerit offerre pecus, offerat duos turtures, vel duos pullos columbarum Domino, unum pro peccato, et alterum in holocaustum,

And if he cannot afford a sheep, he shall bring for his sin which he has sinned, two turtle-doves or two young pigeons to the Lord; one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering.

8 dabitque eos sacerdoti: qui primum offerens pro peccato, retorquebit caput eius ad pennulas, ita ut collo hæreat, et non penitus abrumpatur.

And he shall bring them to the priest, and the priest shall bring the sin-offering first; and the priest shall pinch off the head from the neck, and shall not divide the body.

9 Et asperget de sanguine eius parietem altaris. Quidquid autem reliquum fuerit, faciet distillare ad fundamentum eius, quia pro peccato est.

And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin-offering on the side of the altar, but the rest of the blood he shall drop at the foot of the altar, for it is a sin-offering.

10 Alterum vero adolebit in holocaustum, ut fieri solet: rogabitque pro eo sacerdos et pro peccato eius, et dimittetur ei.

And he shall make the second a whole-burnt-offering, as it is fit; and the priest shall make atonement for his sin which he has sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.

11 Quod si non quiverit manus eius duos offerre turtures, aut duos pullos columbarum, offeret pro peccato suo similæ partem ephi decimam. Non mittet in eam oleum, nec thuris aliquid imponet, quia pro peccato est.

And if he cannot afford a pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, then shall he bring as his gift for his sin, the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin-offering; he shall not pour oil upon it, nor shall he put frankincense upon it, because it is a sin-offering.

12 Tradetque eam sacerdoti: qui plenum ex ea pugillum hauriens, cremabit super altare in monimentum eius qui obtulerit,

And he shall bring it to the priest; and the priest having taken a handful of it, shall lay the memorial of it on the altar of whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord; it is a sin-offering.

13 rogans pro illo et expians: reliquam vero partem ipse habebit in munere.

And the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin, which he has sinned in one of these things, and it shall be forgiven him; and that which is left shall be the priest's, as an offering of fine flour.

14 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

15 Anima si prævaricans ceremonias, per errorem in his, quæ Domino sunt sanctificata, peccaverit, offeret pro delicto suo arietem immaculatum de gregibus, qui emi potest duobus siclis, iuxta pondus Sanctuarii:

The soul which shall be really unconscious, and shall sin unwillingly in any of the holy things of the Lord, shall even bring to the Lord for his transgression, a ram of the flock without blemish, valued according to shekels of silver according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for his [transgression] wherein he transgressed.

16 ipsumque quod intulit damni restituet, et quintam partem ponet supra, tradens sacerdoti, qui rogabit pro eo offerens arietem, et dimittetur ei.

And he shall make compensation for that wherein he has sinned in the holy things; and he shall add the fifth part to it, and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of transgression, and [his sin] shall be forgiven him.

17 Anima si peccaverit per ignorantiam, feceritque unum ex his quæ Domini lege prohibentur, et peccati rea intellexerit iniquitatem suam,

And the soul which shall sin, and do one thing [against] any of the commandments of the Lord, which it is not right to do, and has not known it, and shall have transgressed, and shall have contracted guilt,

18 offeret arietem immaculatum de gregibus sacerdoti, iuxta mensuram, æstimationemque peccati: qui orabit pro eo, quia nesciens fecerit: et dimittetur ei,

he shall even bring a ram without blemish from the flock, [valued] at a price of silver for his transgression to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for his trespass of ignorance, wherein he ignorantly trespassed, and he knew it not; and it shall be forgiven him.

19 quia per errorem deliquit in Dominum.

For he has surely been guilty of transgression before the Lord.
