Leviticus 16

1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen post mortem duorum filiorum Aaron, quando offerentes ignem alienum interfecti sunt:

And the Lord spoke unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they had come near before the Lord, and died:

2 et præcepit ei, dicens: Loquere ad Aaron fratrem tuum, ne omni tempore ingrediatur Sanctuarium, quod est intra velum coram propitiatorio quo tegitur arca, ut non moriatur (quia in nube apparebo super oraculum)

And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail, before the mercy-seat, which is upon the ark, that he die not; for in the cloud will I appear upon the mercy-seat.

3 nisi hæc ante fecerit: Vitulum pro peccato offeret, et arietem in holocaustum.

With this shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering.

4 Tunica linea vestietur, feminalibus lineis verenda celabit: accingetur zona linea, cidarim lineam imponet capiti: hæc enim vestimenta sunt sancta: quibus cunctis, cum lotus fuerit, induetur.

A holy linen coat shall be put on, and linen breeches shall he have upon his flesh, and with a linen girdle shall he gird himself, and a linen mitre shall he bind on his head; these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and then put them on.

5 Suscipietque ab universa multitudine filiorum Israel duos hircos pro peccato, et unum arietem in holocaustum.

And from the congregation of the children of Israel shall he take two goats for a sin-offering, and one ram for a burnt-offering.

6 Cumque obtulerit vitulum, et oraverit pro se et pro domo sua,

And Aaron shall bring near the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.

7 duos hircos stare faciet coram Domino in ostio tabernaculi testimonii:

And he shall take the two goats, and place them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

8 mittensque super utrumque sortem, unam Domino, alteram capro emissario:

And Aaron shall put lots upon the two goats; one lot “for the Lord,” and the other lot “for 'Azazel.”

9 cuius exierit sors Domino, offeret illum pro peccato:

And Aaron shall bring near the goat upon which fell the lot “for the Lord,” and offer him for a sin-offering.

10 cuius autem in caprum emissarium, statuet eum vivum coram Domino, ut fundat preces super eo, et emittat eum in solitudinem.

But the goat on which fell the lot “for 'Azazel,” shall be placed alive before the Lord, to make an atonement with him, by sending him away to 'Azazel into the wilderness.

11 His rite celebratis, offeret vitulum et rogans pro se et pro domo sua, immolabit eum:

And Aaron shall bring near the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and he shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house; and he shall kill the bullock of the sin-offering which is for himself.

12 assumptoque thuribulo, quod de prunis altaris impleverit, et hauriens manu compositum thymiama in incensum, ultra velum intrabit in Sancta:

And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and both his hands full of incense of spices, pounded fine, and bring it within the vail;

13 ut positis super ignem aromatibus, nebula eorum et vapor operiat oraculum, quod est supra testimonium, et non moriatur.

And he shall put the incense upon the fire, before the Lord; that the cloud of the incense may envelop the mercy-seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not.

14 Tollet quoque de sanguine vituli, et asperget digito septies contra propitiatorium ad orientem.

And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger above toward the mercy-seat, eastward; and before the mercy-seat shall he sprinkle seven times of the blood with his finger.

15 Cumque mactaverit hircum pro peccato populi, inferet sanguinem eius intra velum, sicut præceptum est de sanguine vituli, ut aspergat e regione oraculi,

And he shall kill the goat of the sin-offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood to within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it above the mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat.

16 et expiet Sanctuarium ab immunditiis filiorum Israel, et a prævaricationibus eorum, cunctisque peccatis. Iuxta hunc ritum faciet tabernaculo testimonii, quod fixum est inter eos in medio sordium habitationis eorum.

And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that abideth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.

17 Nullus hominum sit in tabernaculo quando pontifex Sanctuarium ingreditur, ut roget pro se et pro domo sua, et pro universo cœtu Israel donec egrediatur.

And there shall not be any man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out: and so shall he make an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for the whole congregation of Israel.

18 Cum autem exierit ad altare quod coram Domino est, oret pro se, et sumptum sanguinem vituli atque hirci fundat super cornua eius per gyrum:

And he shall then go out unto the altar that is before the Lord, and make an atonement upon it; and he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about.

19 aspergensque digito septies, expiet, et sanctificet illud ab immunditiis filiorum Israel.

And he shall sprinkle upon it of the blood with his finger seven times; and he shall cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.

20 Postquam emundaverit Sanctuarium, et tabernaculum, et altare, tunc offerat hircum viventem:

And when he hath made an end of atoning for the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: then shall he bring near the live goat.

21 et posita utraque manu super caput eius, confiteatur omnes iniquitates filiorum Israel, et universa delicta atque peccata eorum: quæ imprecans capiti eius, emittet illum per hominem paratum, in desertum.

And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and he shall send him away by the hand of a man appointed thereto into the wilderness:

22 Cumque portaverit hircus omnes iniquitates eorum in terram solitariam, et dimissus fuerit in deserto,

And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited; and so shall he send away the goat into the wilderness.

23 revertetur Aaron in tabernaculum testimonii, et depositis vestibus, quibus prius indutus erat cum intraret Sanctuarium, relictisque ibi,

And Aaron shall then go into the tabernacle of the congregation, and he shall take off the linen garments, which he had put on when he went into the holy place, and he shall leave them there:

24 lavabit carnem suam in loco sancto, indueturque vestibus suis. Et postquam egressus obtulerit holocaustum suum ac plebis, rogabit tam pro se quam pro populo:

And he shall bathe his flesh with water in a holy place, and put on his garments; and come then forth, and offer his burnt-offering, and the burnt-offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.

25 et adipem, qui oblatus est pro peccatis, adolebit super altare.

And the fat of the sin-offering shall he burn upon the altar.

26 ille vero, qui dimiserit caprum emissarium, lavabit vestimenta sua et corpus aqua, et sic ingredietur in castra.

And he that carrieth the goat to 'Azazel shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he may come into the camp.

27 Vitulum autem et hircum, qui pro peccato fuerant immolati, et quorum sanguis illatus est in Sanctuarium ut expiatio compleretur, asportabunt foras castra, et comburent igni tam pelles quam carnes eorum ac fimum:

And the bullock for the sin-offering, and the goat for the sin-offering, the blood of which was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.

28 et quicumque combusserit ea, lavabit vestimenta sua, et carnem aqua, et sic ingredietur in castra.

And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he may come into the camp.

29 Eritque vobis hoc legitimum sempiternum: Mense septimo, decima die mensis affligetis animas vestras, nullumque opus facietis, sive indigena, sive advena qui peregrinatur inter vos.

And it shall be unto you a statute for ever: in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month, ye shall afflict yourselves [by fasting], and no work shall ye do, whether it be one of your own country, or the stranger that sojourneth among you;

30 In hac die expiatio erit vestri, atque mundatio ab omnibus peccatis vestris: coram Domino mundabimini.

For on that day shall [the high-priest] make an atonement for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins before the Lord shall ye be clean.

31 sabbatum enim requietionis est, et affligetis animas vestras religione perpetua.

It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict yourselves [by fasting], as a statute for ever.

32 Expiabit autem sacerdos, qui unctus fuerit, et cuius manus initiatæ sunt ut sacerdotio fungatur pro patre suo: indueturque stola linea et vestibus sanctis,

And the priest, who shall be anointed, and who shall be consecrated to minister as priest in his father's stead, shall make the atonement; and he shall put on the linen clothes, the holy garments.

33 et expiabit Sanctuarium et tabernaculum testimonii atque altare, sacerdotes quoque et universum populum.

And he shall make an atonement for the holy of holies; and for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar shall he make an atonement; and also for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation shall he make an atonement.

34 Eritque vobis hoc legitimum sempiternum, ut oretis pro filiis Israel, et pro cunctis peccatis eorum semel in anno. Fecit igitur sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi.

And this shall be unto you as a statute for everlasting, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year: and he did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
