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 any person sin, because he heareth the voice of adjuration, and he is a witness, since he hath either seen or knoweth something; if he do not tell it, and thus bear his iniquity;

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

Or if there be a person who toucheth any unclean thing, whether it be the carcass of an unclean beast, or the carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of an unclean creeping thing, and it escape his recollection; but [he becometh aware that] he is unclean, and hath [thus] incurred guilt;

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

Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness of the kind it be by which he can be defiled, and it escape his recollection; but he becometh aware of it, and [that] he hath [thus] incurred guilt;

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

Or if any person swear, by pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good [to himself], in whatsoever it be that a man pronounceth with an oath, and it escape his recollection; but he becometh aware of it that he hath incurred guilt by any one of these:

5 agat poenitentiam pro peccato,

And it shall be, if he have incurred guilt by any one of these [things, ] that he shall confess that concerning which he hath sinned;

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

And he shall bring his trespass-offering unto the Lord for his sin which he hath committed, a female from the flocks, a sheep or a goat, for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.

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

And if his means be not sufficient for a sheep, then shall he bring as his offering [for the trespass] which he hath committed, two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, unto 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 adhaereat, et non penitus abrumpatur.

And he shall bring them unto the priest, and he shall offer that which is for the sin-offering first, and pinch off its head by the back of its neck, but shall not divide it asunder:

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 some of the blood of the sin-offering upon the wall of the altar: and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar; 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 the second shall he prepare as a burnt-offering, according to the prescribed order; and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven unto him.

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

But if his means be not sufficient for two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, then shall he bring as his offering for that which he hath sinned, the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin-offering; he shall not put upon it any oil, nor shall he put thereupon any frankincense; for 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 shall take from it his handful, as its memorial, and burn it on the altar, upon the fire-offerings of 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 an atonement for him concerning his sin that he hath committed in one of these, and it shall be forgiven unto him; and it shall belong to the priest, as the meat-offering.

14 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

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

If any person commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, against the holy things of the Lord: then shall he bring as his trespass-offering unto the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flocks, in value of two shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass-offering.

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

And that, in which he hath sinned against the holy thing, shall he pay, and shall add its fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest; and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering, and it shall be forgiven unto him.

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

And if any person sin, and commit any one of the prohibitions of the Lord which ought not to be done; and he know not whether he have incurred guilt, and so bear his iniquity:

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

Then shall he bring a ram without blemish out of the flocks, of the usual value, for a trespass-offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin of ignorance, wherein he hath erred and knoweth it not, and it shall be forgiven unto him.

19 quia per errorem deliquit in Dominum.

It is a trespass-offering: he hath in trespassing trespassed against the Lord.
