Lewwota 4

1 Waaqayyo akkana jedhee Museetti dubbate;

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,

2 “Israaʼelootaan akkana jedhi; ‘Yoo namni utuu hin beekin waan Waaqayyo dhowwe cabsuudhaan cubbuu hojjete.

“Say this to the Israeli people: This is what must be done if someone sins without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of Yahweh’s commands.

3 “‘Lubichi dibame yoo cubbuu hojjetee akkasiin sabatti cubbuu fide, inni cubbuu hojjete sanaaf dibicha hirʼina hin qabne tokko aarsaa cubbuu godhee Waaqayyoof haa dhiʼeessu.

'If the Supreme [MTY] Priest sins, and that causes all the people to be guilty, he must bring to Yahweh a young bull that has no defects. That will be an offering for the sin that he has committed.

4 Innis dibicha sana balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii irratti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti haa dhiʼeessu. Mataa dibicha sanaa irras harka isaa kaaʼee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti haa qalu.

He must bring the bull to the entrance to the Sacred Tent. He must lay his hands on its head. Then he must slaughter it in front of Yahweh [and drain some of the blood into a bowl].

5 Lubni dibame sun dhiiga dibicha sanaa irraa fuudhee dunkaana wal gaʼiitti qabatee haa seenu.

Then the Supreme Priest must take some of that blood into the Sacred Tent.

6 Lubni sunis quba isaa dhiiga keessa cuphee dhiiga sana irraa golgaa iddoo qulqulluu duratti yeroo torba fuula Waaqayyoo duratti haa facaasu.

He must dip [one of] his fingers into the blood and sprinkle it seven times in the presence of Yahweh, in front of the curtain [that separates the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place].

7 Ergasiis lubni sun dhiiga sana irraa gaanfawwan iddoo aarsaa ixaana urgaaʼu kan dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa fuula Waaqayyoo dura jiru sana irratti haa naqu. Dhiiga dibicha sanaa kan hafe hunda immoo balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii irratti miilla iddoo aarsaa gubamuu jalatti haa dhangalaasu.

Then he must put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the altar where fragrant incense is burned in the Sacred Tent in the presence of Yahweh. The remaining part of the bull’s blood [that is still in the bowl], he must pour out at the base of the altar, where sacrifices are burned, at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.

8 Innis dibicha aarsaa cubbuutiif dhiʼeeffame sana irraa cooma hunda haa baasu; kunis moora miʼa garaa haguuguu fi kan itti maxxanu hunda,

From that offering the Supreme Priest must separate these things from the bull that is to be burned: The fat that covers the inner parts of the bull or which is attached to them—

9 kalee lamaanii fi moora isaan irra jiru kan mudhiitti dhiʼaatu, haguuggii tiruu kan inni kaleedhaan walitti qabee baasu faʼi;

the kidneys and the fat that is attached to them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

10 waan kanas akkuma loon aarsaa nagaatiif dhiʼeeffamu irraa moorri baafamu sanatti haa baasu. Lubnis iddoo aarsaa kan aarsaa gubamuu irratti haa gubu.

Then the Supreme Priest must completely burn those things on the altar. That will be just like when the fat is removed from an animal that is sacrificed to maintain good fellowship [with Yahweh].

11 Garuu gogaa dibicha sanaatii fi foon isaa hunda, mataa fi miilla isaa, miʼa garaatii fi cumaa isaa,

But all the other parts of the animal—its skin/hide and all its other meat, its head and its legs, its inner parts and the intestines,

12 jechuunis waan dibicha sanaa kan hafe hunda qubata keessaa gad baasee gara iddoo seeraan qulqulluu taʼe kan daaraan itti gatamuutti haa geessu; daaraa tuulame irrattis ibidda qoraaniitiin haa gubu.

he must take outside the camp and throw them in a place that is acceptable to Yahweh, where the ashes are thrown, and he must burn them in a fire on the pile of ashes.

13 “‘Yoo waldaan Israaʼel hundi utuu hin beekin cubbamee waan ajaja Waaqayyoo keessatti dhowwame hojjete waldaan sun waaʼee waan sanaa beekuu baatu illee yakka qabeessa taʼa.

‘If all the Israeli people sin without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of Yahweh’s commands, they will be guilty, even if they do not realize that they have sinned.

14 Yommuu cubbuun isaan hojjetan beekamutti waldaan sun dibicha tokko aarsaa cubbuu godhee dunkaana wal gaʼii duratti fidee haa dhiʼeessu.

When they realize that they have committed a sin, together they must bring a young bull to be an offering for their sin, to the front of the Sacred Tent.

15 Maanguddoonni waldaa fuula Waaqayyoo duratti mataa dibicha sanaa irra harka isaanii haa kaaʼan; dibichi sunis fuula Waaqayyoo duratti haa qalamu.

The elders must lay their hands on the bull’s head in the presence of Yahweh and slaughter it [and catch some of the blood in a bowl].

16 Lubni dibame sun dhiiga dibicha sanaa irraa fuudhee gara dunkaana wal gaʼiitti haa fidu.

Then the Supreme [MTY] Priest must take some of that blood into the Sacred Tent.

17 Innis quba isaa dhiiga keessa cuuphee golgaa duratti yeroo torba fuula Waaqayyoo duratti haa facaasu.

‘He must dip [one of] his fingers into the blood and sprinkle it seven times in the presence of Yahweh, in front of the curtain [that separates the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place].

18 Lubni sunis dhiiga sana irraa gaanfawwan iddoo aarsaa kan dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa fuula Waaqayyoo dura jiru sana irratti haa naqu. Dhiiga dibicha sanaa kan hafe hunda immoo balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii irratti miilla iddoo aarsaa gubamuu jalatti haa dhangalaasu.

Then he must put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the altar that is in the presence of Yahweh in the Sacred Tent. The remaining part of the bull’s blood, he must pour out at the base of the altar where sacrifices are burned, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.

19 Inni cooma hunda irraa baasee iddoo aarsaa irratti haa gubu;

He must remove all the animal’s fat and burn it on the altar.

20 dibicha kanas akkuma dibicha aarsaa cubbuutiif dhiʼeeffame sana godhe haa godhu; lubnis haaluma kanaan araara isaaniif buusa; isaanis dhiifama argatu.

He must do with this bull the same things that he did with the bull that was an offering for his own sins, and they will be forgiven {Yahweh will forgive them}.

21 Innis ergasii dibicha sana qubata keessaa gad baasee akkuma dibicha jalqabaa gube sana haa gubu; kunis aarsaa cubbuu waldaa ti.

Then the priest must take [the other parts of] the bull outside the camp and burn them, like he does when he himself has sinned. That will be the offering for the sin that all the people have committed, and they will be forgiven.

22 “‘Bulchaan tokko yoo utuu hin beekin cubbuu hojjetee waan ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa keessatti dhowwame hojjete inni yakka qabeessa taʼa.

‘When one of the leaders sins without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of the commands of Yahweh his God, he will be guilty.

23 Inni yommuu cubbuu hojjete sana beeketti korma reʼee kan hirʼina hin qabne tokko aarsaa ofii isaatiif haa fidu.

When he realizes that he has committed a sin, he must bring as his offering a male goat that has no defects.

24 Mataa reʼee sanaa irra harka isaa kaaʼee iddoo aarsaan gubamu itti qalamutti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti haa qalu; kunis aarsaa cubbuu ti.

He must lay his hands on the goat’s head in the presence of Yahweh and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter {are slaughtered} the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar]. That will be an offering for his sin.

25 Lubni sunis ergasii dhiiga aarsaa cubbuutiif dhiʼeeffame irraa quba isaatiin fuudhee gaanfa iddoo aarsaa kan aarsaan gubamu irratti dhiʼeeffamutti haa naqu; dhiiga hafe immoo miilla iddoo aarsaa jalatti haa dhangalaasu.

Then the priest must put some of the animal’s blood [into a bowl] and dip [one of] his fingers in it and put some of the blood on the corners of the projections of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

26 Innis akkuma cooma aarsaa nagaatiif dhiʼeeffame gube sana moora hunda iddoo aarsaa irratti haa gubu; lubichi haala kanaan namichaaf araara cubbuu buusa; innis dhiifama argata.

Then he must burn all the fat on the altar, as was done with the fat of the offering to maintain good fellowship [with Yahweh]. As a result of the priest’s doing that, the leader will no longer be guilty for his sin and he will be forgiven.

27 “‘Saba keessaa namni tokko yoo utuu hin beekin waan ajaja Waaqayyoo keessatti dhowwame keessaa tokko illee cabsuudhaan cubbuu hojjete inni yakka qabeessa taʼa.

‘If one of the Israeli people who is not a priest sins without intending to sin, and does something that is forbidden in any of the commands of Yahweh his God, he will be guilty.

28 Inni yommuu akka cubbuu hojjete beeketti cubbuu hojjete sanaaf reʼee dhaltuu hirʼina hin qabne tokko aarsaa ofii isaatiif haa fidu.

When he realizes that he has committed a sin, he must bring as his offering a female goat that has no defects.

29 Mataa reʼee aarsaa cubbuutiif dhiʼeeffamte sanaa irras harka isaa kaaʼee iddoo aarsaa gubamuutti haa qalu.

He must lay his hands on the goat’s head and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar, and catch some of the blood in a bowl].

30 Lubni sunis ergasii dhiiga sana irraa quba isaatiin fuudhee gaanfa iddoo aarsaa kan aarsaan gubamu irratti dhiʼeeffamutti haa naqu; dhiiga hafe hunda immoo miilla iddoo aarsaa jalatti haa dhangalaasu.

Then the priest must dip [one of] his fingers in the blood, and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

31 Akkuma moorri itti aarsaa nagaa irraa baafamutti inni moora hunda haa baasu; lubni immoo aarsaa urgaan isaa Waaqayyotti tolu godhee iddoo aarsaa irratti haa gubu. Akkasiinis lubni araara buusaaf; innis dhiifama argata.

Then he must remove all the goat’s fat, and burn all the fat on the altar, like was done with the fat of the offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh. As a result of the priest doing that, the person will no longer be guilty for his sin, and he will be forgiven.

32 “‘Inni yoo hoolaa tokko aarsaa cubbuu ofii isaatiif fide, dhaltuu hirʼina hin qabne haa fidu.

‘If that person brings a lamb to be his offering for sin, he must bring a female lamb that has no defects.

33 Mataa hoolaa sanaa irras harka isaa kaaʼee iddoo aarsaan gubamu itti qalamutti aarsaa cubbuutiif haa qalu.

He must lay his hands on the lamb’s head and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar, and catch some of the blood in a bowl].

34 Lubni sunis ergasii dhiiga aarsaa cubbuutiif dhiʼeeffame irraa quba isaatiin fuudhee gaanfa iddoo aarsaa kan aarsaa gubamuutti haa naqu; dhiiga hafe hunda immoo miilla iddoo aarsaa jalatti haa dhangalaasu.

Then the priest must dip [one of] his fingers in the blood and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

35 Akkuma moorri itti hoolaa aarsaa nagaatiif dhiʼeeffamu irraa baafamutti inni moora hunda haa baasu; lubni immoo aarsaa ibiddaan Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamu gubbaatti iddoo aarsaa irratti haa gubu. Lubnis akkasiin cubbuu namichi hojjeteef araara buusaaf; innis dhiifama argata.

Then he must remove all the lamb’s fat, and burn all the fat on the altar, like was done with the fat of the offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. He must burn it on top of the other offerings to Yahweh that are being burned. As a result, the priest will request God to forgive that person for his sin, and he will be forgiven.’”
