Leviticus 16
1 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen post mortem duum filiorum Aaron quando offerentes ignem alienum interfecti sunt
Yahweh spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they came near before Yahweh, and died;
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 Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron your brother not to come at just any time into the Most Holy Place within the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark; lest he die; for I will appear in the cloud on the mercy seat.
3 nisi haec ante fecerit vitulum offeret pro peccato et arietem in holocaustum
“Aaron shall come into the sanctuary 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 shall put on the holy linen tunic. He shall have the linen trousers on his body, and shall put on the linen sash, and he shall be clothed with the linen turban. They are the holy garments. He shall bathe his body in water, and put them on.
5 suscipietque ab universa multitudine filiorum Israhel duos hircos pro peccato et unum arietem in holocaustum
He shall take from the congregation of the children 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 shall offer the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house.
7 duos hircos stare faciet coram Domino in ostio tabernaculi testimonii
He shall take the two goats, and set them before Yahweh at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
8 mittens super utrumque sortem unam Domino et alteram capro emissario
Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for Yahweh, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
9 cuius sors exierit Domino offeret illum pro peccato
Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for Yahweh, 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 illum in solitudinem
But the goat on which the lot fell for the scapegoat shall be presented alive before Yahweh, to make atonement for him, to send him away as the scapegoat into the wilderness.
11 his rite celebratis offeret vitulum et rogans pro se et pro domo sua immolabit eum
“Aaron shall present the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall kill the bull of the sin offering which is for himself.
12 adsumptoque turibulo quod de prunis altaris impleverit et hauriens manu conpositum thymiama in incensum ultra velum intrabit in sancta
He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Yahweh, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil.
13 ut positis super ignem aromatibus nebula eorum et vapor operiat oraculum quod est super testimonium et non moriatur
He shall put the incense on the fire before Yahweh, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the covenant, so that he will not die.
14 tollet quoque de sanguine vituli et asperget digito septies contra propitiatorium ad orientem
He shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
15 cumque mactaverit hircum pro peccato populi inferet sanguinem eius intra velum sicut praeceptum est de sanguine vituli ut aspergat e regione oraculi
“Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and before the mercy seat.
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
He shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting that dwells with them in the middle of their uncleanness.
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 shall be in the Tent of Meeting when he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the 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
“He shall go out to the altar that is before Yahweh and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the bull’s blood, and some of the goat’s blood, and put it around on the horns of the altar.
19 aspergensque digito septies expiet et sanctificet illud ab inmunditiis filiorum Israhel
He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it holy from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
20 postquam emundarit sanctuarium et tabernaculum et altare tunc offerat hircum viventem
“When he has finished atoning for the Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present 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
Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send him away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is ready.
22 cumque portaverit hircus omnes iniquitates eorum in terram solitariam et dimissus fuerit in deserto
The goat shall carry all their iniquities on himself to a solitary land, and he shall release the goat in the wilderness.
23 revertetur Aaron in tabernaculum testimonii et depositis vestibus quibus prius indutus erat cum intraret sanctuarium relictisque ibi
“Aaron shall come into the Tent of Meeting, and shall take off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and shall 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
Then he shall bathe himself in water in a holy place, put on his garments, and come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people.
25 et adipem qui oblatus est pro peccatis adolebit super altare
The fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar.
26 ille vero qui dimiserit caprum emissarium lavabit vestimenta sua et corpus aqua et sic ingredietur in castra
“He who lets the goat go as the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into 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 in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried outside the camp; and they shall burn their skins, their flesh, and their dung with fire.
28 et quicumque conbuserit ea lavabit vestimenta sua et carnem aqua et sic ingredietur in castra
He who burns them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into 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
“It shall be a statute to you forever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and shall do no kind of work, whether native-born or a stranger who lives as a foreigner among you;
30 in hac die expiatio erit vestri atque mundatio ab omnibus peccatis vestris coram Domino mundabimini
for on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you. You shall be clean from all your sins before Yahweh.
31 sabbatum enim requietionis est et adfligetis animas vestras religione perpetua
It is a Sabbath of solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls. It is a statute forever.
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 who is consecrated to be priest in his father’s place, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, even the holy garments.
33 et expiabit sanctuarium et tabernaculum testimonii atque altare sacerdotes quoque et universum populum
Then he shall make atonement for the Holy Sanctuary; and he shall make atonement for the Tent of Meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the priests and for 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 shall be an everlasting statute for you, to make atonement for the children of Israel once in the year because of all their sins.” It was done as Yahweh commanded Moses.
