< Leviticus 4 >
1 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 loquere filiis Israhel anima cum peccaverit per ignorantiam et de universis mandatis Domini quae praecepit ut non fierent quippiam fecerit
“Tell the Israelites to do as follows with one who sins unintentionally against any of the LORD’s commandments and does what is forbidden by them:
3 si sacerdos qui est unctus peccaverit delinquere faciens populum offeret pro peccato suo vitulum inmaculatum Domino
If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the LORD a young bull without blemish as a sin offering for the sin he has committed.
4 et adducet illum ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii coram Domino ponetque manum super caput eius et immolabit eum Domino
He must bring the bull to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and slaughter it before the LORD.
5 hauriet quoque de sanguine vituli inferens illud in tabernaculum testimonii
Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood and bring it into the Tent of Meeting.
6 cumque intinxerit digitum in sanguinem asperget eo septies coram Domino contra velum sanctuarii
The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.
7 ponetque de eodem sanguine super cornua altaris thymiamatis gratissimi Domino quod est in tabernaculo testimonii omnem autem reliquum sanguinem fundet in basim altaris holocausti in introitu tabernaculi
The priest must then put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting. And he is to pour out the rest of the bull’s blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
8 et adipem vituli auferet pro peccato tam eum qui operit vitalia quam omnia quae intrinsecus sunt
Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering—the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,
9 duos renunculos et reticulum quod est super eos iuxta ilia et adipem iecoris cum renunculis
both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys—
10 sicut aufertur de vitulo hostiae pacificorum et adolebit ea super altare holocausti
just as the fat is removed from the ox of the peace offering. Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.
11 pellem vero et omnes carnes cum capite et pedibus et intestinis et fimo
But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, with its head and legs and its entrails and dung—
12 et reliquo corpore efferet extra castra in locum mundum ubi cineres effundi solent incendetque ea super lignorum struem quae in loco effusorum cinerum cremabuntur
all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place where the ashes are poured out, and there he must burn it on a wood fire on the ash heap.
13 quod si omnis turba Israhel ignoraverit et per inperitiam fecerit quod contra mandatum Domini est
Now if the whole congregation of Israel strays unintentionally and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly so that they violate any of the LORD’s commandments and incur guilt by doing what is forbidden,
14 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum offeret vitulum pro peccato adducetque eum ad ostium tabernaculi
when they become aware of the sin they have committed, then the assembly must bring a young bull as a sin offering and present it before the Tent of Meeting.
15 et ponent seniores populi manus super caput eius coram Domino immolatoque vitulo in conspectu Domini
The elders of the congregation are to lay their hands on the bull’s head before the LORD, and it shall be slaughtered before the LORD.
16 inferet sacerdos qui unctus est de sanguine eius in tabernaculum testimonii
Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the bull’s blood into the Tent of Meeting,
17 tincto digito aspergens septies contra velum
and he is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the veil.
18 ponetque de eodem sanguine in cornibus altaris quod est coram Domino in tabernaculo testimonii reliquum autem sanguinem fundet iuxta basim altaris holocaustorum quod est in ostio tabernaculi testimonii
He is also to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting, and he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
19 omnemque eius adipem tollet et adolebit super altare
And he is to remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar.
20 sic faciens et de hoc vitulo quomodo fecit et prius et rogante pro eis sacerdote propitius erit Dominus
He shall offer this bull just as he did the bull for the sin offering; in this way the priest will make atonement on their behalf, and they will be forgiven.
21 ipsum autem vitulum efferet extra castra atque conburet sicut et priorem vitulum quia pro peccato est multitudinis
Then he is to take the bull outside the camp and burn it, just as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.
22 si peccaverit princeps et fecerit unum e pluribus per ignorantiam quod Domini lege prohibetur
When a leader sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the commandments of the LORD his God, he incurs guilt.
23 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum offeret hostiam Domino hircum de capris inmaculatum
When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring an unblemished male goat as his offering.
24 ponetque manum suam super caput eius cumque immolaverit eum in loco ubi solet mactari holocaustum coram Domino quia pro peccato est
He is to lay his hand on the head of the goat and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the LORD. It is a sin offering.
25 tinguet sacerdos digitum in sanguine hostiae pro peccato tangens cornua altaris holocausti et reliquum fundens ad basim eius
Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
26 adipem vero adolebit supra sicut in victimis pacificorum fieri solet rogabitque pro eo et pro peccato eius ac dimittetur ei
He must burn all its fat on the altar, like the fat of the peace offerings; thus the priest will make atonement for that man’s sin, and he will be forgiven.
27 quod si peccaverit anima per ignorantiam de populo terrae ut faciat quicquam ex his quae Domini lege prohibentur atque delinquat
And if one of the common people sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the LORD’s commandments, he incurs guilt.
28 et cognoverit peccatum suum offeret capram inmaculatam
When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring an unblemished female goat as his offering for that sin.
29 ponetque manum super caput hostiae quae pro peccato est et immolabit eam in loco holocausti
He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering.
30 tolletque sacerdos de sanguine in digito suo et tangens cornua altaris holocausti reliquum fundet ad basim eius
Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
31 omnem autem auferens adipem sicut auferri solet de victimis pacificorum adolebit super altare in odorem suavitatis Domino rogabitque pro eo et dimittetur ei
Then he is to remove all the fat, just as it is removed from the peace offering, and the priest is to burn it on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
32 sin autem de pecoribus obtulerit victimam pro peccato ovem scilicet inmaculatam
If, however, he brings a lamb as a sin offering, he must bring an unblemished female.
33 ponet manum super caput eius et immolabit eam in loco ubi solent holocaustorum caedi hostiae
And he is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it as a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.
34 sumetque sacerdos de sanguine eius digito suo et tangens cornua altaris holocausti reliquum fundet ad basim eius
Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.
35 omnem quoque auferens adipem sicut auferri solet adeps arietis qui immolatur pro pacificis et cremabit super altare in incensum Domini rogabitque pro eo et pro peccato eius et dimittetur illi
And he shall remove all the fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the peace offerings, and he shall burn it on the altar along with the offerings made by fire to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven.
