Leviticus 4
1 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 loquere filiis Israhel anima cum peccaverit per ignorantiam et de universis mandatis Domini quae praecepit ut non fierent quippiam fecerit
“Tell the people of Israel, 'When anyone sins without wanting to sin, doing any of the things that Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and if he does something that is prohibited, the following must be done.
3 si sacerdos qui est unctus peccaverit delinquere faciens populum offeret pro peccato suo vitulum inmaculatum Domino
If it is the high priest who sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin which he has committed a young bull without blemish to Yahweh as a sin offering.
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 of the tent of meeting before Yahweh, lay his hand on its head, and kill the bull before Yahweh.
5 hauriet quoque de sanguine vituli inferens illud in tabernaculum testimonii
The anointed priest will take some of the blood of the bull and take it to the tent of meeting.
6 cumque intinxerit digitum in sanguinem asperget eo septies coram Domino contra velum sanctuarii
The priest will dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before Yahweh, before the curtain of the most holy place.
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
Then the priest will put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before Yahweh, which is in the tent of meeting, and he will pour out all the rest of the blood of the bull at the base of the altar for burnt offerings, which is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
8 et adipem vituli auferet pro peccato tam eum qui operit vitalia quam omnia quae intrinsecus sunt
He will cut away all the fat of the bull of the sin offering; the fat that covers the inner parts, all the fat that is attached to the inner parts,
9 duos renunculos et reticulum quod est super eos iuxta ilia et adipem iecoris cum renunculis
the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the lobe of the liver, with the kidneys—he will cut away all this.
10 sicut aufertur de vitulo hostiae pacificorum et adolebit ea super altare holocausti
He will cut it all away, just as he cuts it off from the bull of the sacrifice of peace offerings. Then the priest will burn these parts on the altar for burnt offerings.
11 pellem vero et omnes carnes cum capite et pedibus et intestinis et fimo
The skin of the bull and any remaining meat, with its head and with its legs and its inner parts and its 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 parts of the bull—he will carry all these parts outside the camp to a place that they have cleansed for me, where they pour out the ashes; they will burn those parts there on wood. They must burn those parts where they pour out the ashes.
13 quod si omnis turba Israhel ignoraverit et per inperitiam fecerit quod contra mandatum Domini est
If the whole assembly of Israel sins without wanting to sin, and the assembly is unaware that they have sinned and done any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and if they are guilty,
14 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum offeret vitulum pro peccato adducetque eum ad ostium tabernaculi
then, when the sin they have committed becomes known, then the assembly must offer a young bull for a sin offering and bring 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 assembly will lay their hands on the head of the bull before Yahweh, and the bull will be killed before Yahweh.
16 inferet sacerdos qui unctus est de sanguine eius in tabernaculum testimonii
The anointed priest will bring some of the blood of the bull to the tent of meeting,
17 tincto digito aspergens septies contra velum
and the priest will dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before Yahweh, before the curtain.
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 will put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before Yahweh, which is in the tent of meeting, and he will pour out all the blood at the base of the altar for burnt offerings, which is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
19 omnemque eius adipem tollet et adolebit super altare
He will cut off 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
That is what he must do with the bull. Just as he did with the bull of the sin offering, so will he also do with this bull, and the priest will make atonement for the people, and they will be forgiven.
21 ipsum autem vitulum efferet extra castra atque conburet sicut et priorem vitulum quia pro peccato est multitudinis
He will carry the bull outside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bull. This is the sin offering for the assembly.
22 si peccaverit princeps et fecerit unum e pluribus per ignorantiam quod Domini lege prohibetur
When a ruler sins without intending to sin, doing any one of all the things that Yahweh his God has commanded not to be done, and he is guilty,
23 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum offeret hostiam Domino hircum de capris inmaculatum
then his sin which he has committed is made known to him, he must bring for his sacrifice a goat, a male without blemish.
24 ponetque manum suam super caput eius cumque immolaverit eum in loco ubi solet mactari holocaustum coram Domino quia pro peccato est
He will lay his hand on the head of the goat and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before Yahweh. This is a sin offering.
25 tinguet sacerdos digitum in sanguine hostiae pro peccato tangens cornua altaris holocausti et reliquum fundens ad basim eius
The priest will take the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar for burnt offerings, and he will pour out its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering.
26 adipem vero adolebit supra sicut in victimis pacificorum fieri solet rogabitque pro eo et pro peccato eius ac dimittetur ei
He will burn all the fat on the altar, just like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest will make atonement for the ruler concerning his sin, and the ruler will be forgiven.
27 quod si peccaverit anima per ignorantiam de populo terrae ut faciat quicquam ex his quae Domini lege prohibentur atque delinquat
If anyone of the common people sins without intending to sin, doing any of the things which Yahweh has commanded him not to be done, and when he realizes his guilt,
28 et cognoverit peccatum suum offeret capram inmaculatam
then his sin which he has committed is made known to him, then he will bring a goat for his sacrifice, a female without blemish, for the sin that he has committed.
29 ponetque manum super caput hostiae quae pro peccato est et immolabit eam in loco holocausti
He will lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill the sin offering at the place of burnt offering.
30 tolletque sacerdos de sanguine in digito suo et tangens cornua altaris holocausti reliquum fundet ad basim eius
The priest will take some of the blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar for burnt offerings. He will pour out all 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
He will cut away all the fat, just as the fat is cut away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest will burn it on the altar to produce a sweet aroma for Yahweh. The priest will make atonement for the man, and he will be forgiven.
32 sin autem de pecoribus obtulerit victimam pro peccato ovem scilicet inmaculatam
If the man brings a lamb as his sacrifice for a sin offering, he will bring a female without blemish.
33 ponet manum super caput eius et immolabit eam in loco ubi solent holocaustorum caedi hostiae
He will lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill it for a sin offering at the place where they kill the burnt offering.
34 sumetque sacerdos de sanguine eius digito suo et tangens cornua altaris holocausti reliquum fundet ad basim eius
The priest will take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar for burnt offerings, and he will pour out all 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
He will cut away all the fat, just as the fat of the lamb is cut away from the sacrifice of peace offerings, and the priest will burn it on the altar on top of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. The priest will make atonement for him for the sin he has committed, and the man will be forgiven.
