Leviticus 16
1 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen post mortem duum filiorum Aaron quando offerentes ignem alienum interfecti sunt
Now the LORD spoke to Moses after the death of two of Aaron’s sons when they approached the presence of the LORD.
2 et praecepit 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 to Moses: “Tell your brother Aaron not to enter freely into the Most Holy Place behind the veil in front of the mercy seat on the ark, or else he will die, because I appear in the cloud above the mercy seat.
3 nisi haec ante fecerit vitulum offeret pro peccato et arietem in holocaustum
This is how Aaron is to enter the Holy Place: with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.
4 tunica linea vestietur feminalibus lineis verecunda celabit accingetur zona linea cidarim lineam inponet capiti haec enim vestimenta sunt sancta quibus cunctis cum lotus fuerit induetur
He is to wear the sacred linen tunic, with linen undergarments. He must tie a linen sash around him and put on the linen turban. These are holy garments, and he must bathe himself with water before he wears them.
5 suscipietque ab universa multitudine filiorum Israhel duos hircos pro peccato et unum arietem in holocaustum
And he shall take from the congregation of Israel two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.
6 cumque obtulerit vitulum et oraverit pro se et pro domo sua
Aaron is to present the bull for his sin offering and make atonement for himself and his household.
7 duos hircos stare faciet coram Domino in ostio tabernaculi testimonii
Then he shall take the two goats and present them before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
8 mittens super utrumque sortem unam Domino et alteram capro emissario
After Aaron casts lots for the two goats, one for the LORD and the other for the scapegoat,
9 cuius sors exierit Domino offeret illum pro peccato
he shall present the goat chosen by lot for the LORD and sacrifice it as a sin offering.
10 cuius autem in caprum emissarium statuet eum vivum coram Domino ut fundat preces super eo et emittat illum in solitudinem
But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the LORD to make atonement by sending it into the wilderness as the scapegoat.
11 his rite celebratis offeret vitulum et rogans pro se et pro domo sua immolabit eum
When Aaron presents the bull for his sin offering and makes atonement for himself and his household, he is to slaughter the bull for his own sin offering.
12 adsumptoque turibulo quod de prunis altaris impleverit et hauriens manu conpositum thymiama in incensum ultra velum intrabit in sancta
Then he must take a censer full of burning coals from the altar before the LORD, and two handfuls of finely ground fragrant incense, and take them inside the veil.
13 ut positis super ignem aromatibus nebula eorum et vapor operiat oraculum quod est super testimonium et non moriatur
He is to put the incense on the fire before the LORD, and the cloud of incense will cover the mercy seat above the Testimony, so that he will not die.
14 tollet quoque de sanguine vituli et asperget digito septies contra propitiatorium ad orientem
And he is to take some of the bull’s blood and sprinkle it with his finger on the east side of the mercy seat; then he shall sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times before the mercy seat.
15 cumque mactaverit hircum pro peccato populi inferet sanguinem eius intra velum sicut praeceptum est de sanguine vituli ut aspergat e regione oraculi
Aaron shall then slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the people and bring its blood behind the veil, and with its blood he must do as he did with the bull’s blood: He is to sprinkle it against the mercy seat and in front of it.
16 et expiet sanctuarium ab inmunditiis filiorum Israhel et a praevaricationibus eorum cunctisque peccatis iuxta hunc ritum faciet tabernaculo testimonii quod fixum est inter eos in medio sordium habitationis eorum
So he shall make atonement for the Most Holy Place because of the impurities and rebellious acts of the Israelites in regard to all their sins. He is to do the same for the Tent of Meeting which abides among them, because it is surrounded by their impurities.
17 nullus hominum sit in tabernaculo quando pontifex ingreditur sanctuarium ut roget pro se et pro domo sua et pro universo coetu Israhel donec egrediatur
No one may be in the Tent of Meeting from the time Aaron goes in to make atonement in the Most Holy Place until he leaves, after he has made atonement for himself, his household, and the whole assembly 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
Then he shall go out to the altar that is before the LORD and make atonement for it. He is to take some of the bull’s blood and some of the goat’s blood and put it on all the horns of the altar.
19 aspergensque digito septies expiet et sanctificet illud ab inmunditiis filiorum Israhel
He is to sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to cleanse it and consecrate it from the uncleanness of the Israelites.
20 postquam emundarit sanctuarium et tabernaculum et altare tunc offerat hircum viventem
When Aaron has finished purifying the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he is to bring forward the live goat.
21 et posita utraque manu super caput eius confiteatur omnes iniquitates filiorum Israhel et universa delicta atque peccata eorum quae inprecans capiti eius emittet illum per hominem paratum in desertum
Then he is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the iniquities and rebellious acts of the Israelites in regard to all their sins. He is to put them on the goat’s head and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man appointed for the task.
22 cumque portaverit hircus omnes iniquitates eorum in terram solitariam et dimissus fuerit in deserto
The goat will carry on itself all their iniquities into a solitary place, and the man will release it into the wilderness.
23 revertetur Aaron in tabernaculum testimonii et depositis vestibus quibus prius indutus erat cum intraret sanctuarium relictisque ibi
Then Aaron is to enter the Tent of Meeting, take off the linen garments he put on before entering the Most Holy Place, and leave them there.
24 lavabit carnem suam in loco sancto indueturque vestimentis suis et postquam egressus obtulerit holocaustum suum ac plebis rogabit tam pro se quam pro populo
He is to bathe himself with water in a holy place and put on his own clothes. Then he must go out and sacrifice his burnt offering and the people’s burnt offering to make atonement for himself and for the people.
25 et adipem qui oblatus est pro peccatis adolebit super altare
He is also to burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.
26 ille vero qui dimiserit caprum emissarium lavabit vestimenta sua et corpus aqua et sic ingredietur in castra
The man who released the goat as the scapegoat must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water; afterward he may reenter the camp.
27 vitulum autem et hircum qui pro peccato fuerant immolati et quorum sanguis inlatus est ut in sanctuario expiatio conpleretur asportabunt foras castra et conburent igni tam pelles quam carnes eorum et fimum
The bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought into the Most Holy Place to make atonement, must be taken outside the camp; and their hides, flesh, and dung must be burned up.
28 et quicumque conbuserit ea lavabit vestimenta sua et carnem aqua et sic ingredietur in castra
The one who burns them must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water, and afterward he may reenter the camp.
29 eritque hoc vobis legitimum sempiternum mense septimo decima die mensis adfligetis animas vestras nullumque facietis opus sive indigena sive advena qui peregrinatur inter vos
This is to be a permanent statute for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month, you shall humble yourselves and not do any work—whether the native or the foreigner who resides among you—
30 in hac die expiatio erit vestri atque mundatio ab omnibus peccatis vestris coram Domino mundabimini
because on this day atonement will be made for you to cleanse you, and you will be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
31 sabbatum enim requietionis est et adfligetis animas vestras religione perpetua
It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, that you may humble yourselves; it is a permanent statute.
32 expiabit autem sacerdos qui unctus fuerit et cuius initiatae manus ut sacerdotio fungatur pro patre suo indueturque stola linea et vestibus sanctis
The priest who is anointed and ordained to succeed his father as high priest shall make atonement. He will put on the sacred linen garments
33 et expiabit sanctuarium et tabernaculum testimonii atque altare sacerdotes quoque et universum populum
and make atonement for the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, and for the priests and all the people of the assembly.
34 eritque hoc vobis legitimum sempiternum ut oretis pro filiis Israhel et pro cunctis peccatis eorum semel in anno fecit igitur sicut praeceperat Dominus Mosi
This is to be a permanent statute for you, to make atonement once a year for the Israelites because of all their sins.” And all this was done as the LORD had commanded Moses.
