Levítico 16
1 E fallou o Senhor a Moysés, depois que morreram os dois filhos de Aarão, quando se chegaram diante do Senhor e morreram.
After the two sons of Aaron died because they burned incense to Yahweh [in a manner that was contrary to what Yahweh commanded], Yahweh spoke to Moses/me.
2 Disse pois o Senhor a Moysés: Dize a Aarão, teu irmão que não entre no sanctuario em todo o tempo, para dentro do véu, diante do propiciatorio que está sobre a arca, para que não morra; porque eu appareço na nuvem sobre o propiciatorio.
He said to him/me, “Warn your [older] brother Aaron that he must not enter the Very Holy Place inside the curtain that is in the Sacred Tent whenever he wants to, because the cover of the sacred chest is there. That is the place where the priest (makes atonement for/requests me to forgive) sins. I am present in the cloud that is over the cover of the sacred chest. If Aaron goes in that room when it is not the proper time, he will die!
3 Com isto Aarão entrará no sanctuario: com um novilho, para expiação do peccado, e um carneiro para holocausto.
“When Aaron enters the Sacred Tent area, he must bring a bull that [will be killed] to become an offering/sacrifice for sins, and a ram [to be killed] to be an offering that will be completely burned [on the altar].
4 Vestirá elle a tunica sancta de linho, e terá ceroulas de linho sobre a sua carne, e cingir-se-ha com um cinto de linho, e se cobrirá com uma mitra de linho: estes são vestidos sanctos: por isso banhará a sua carne na agua, e os vestirá.
Then he must bathe his whole body, and put on the linen underwear/undershorts and the linen gown. He must tie the linen sash/waistbands around his waist and wrap the turban around his head. Those are his sacred garments.
5 E da congregação dos filhos de Israel tomará dois bodes para expiação do peccado e um carneiro para holocausto.
The Israeli people must then bring to him two male goats [to be killed] as an offering/sacrifice for sin, and a ram to be [killed and] burned completely [on the altar].
6 Depois Aarão offerecerá o novilho da expiação, que será para elle; e fará expiação por si e pela sua casa.
“Aaron must offer the bull [to me] to be a sacrifice in order that (I will forgive his sins and the sins of his family/his sins and the sins of his family will be forgiven).
7 Tambem tomará ambos os bodes, e os porá perante o Senhor, á porta da tenda da congregação.
Then he must bring the two male goats to me at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
8 E Aarão lançará sortes sobre os dois bodes: uma sorte pelo Senhor, e a outra sorte pelo bode emissario.
He must (cast lots/throw down stones that have been marked) to determine which goat will be [sacrificed] to me, and which will be the goat that will be set free.
9 Então Aarão fará chegar o bode, sobre o qual cair a sorte pelo Senhor, e o offerecerá para expiação do peccado.
Aaron must bring to me the goat that was chosen to be sacrificed. It will be an offering for the people’s sins.
10 Mas o bode, sobre que cair a sorte para ser bode emissario, apresentar-se-ha com elle, para envial-o ao deserto como bode emissario.
Aaron must also bring to me the other goat, but it is not to be killed. It will be freed while it is still alive. As a result of Aaron sending it into the desert, the people’s sins will be forgiven.
11 E Aarão fará chegar o novilho da expiação, que será para elle, e fará expiação por si e pela sua casa; e degolará o novilho da expiação, que é para elle.
“Then Aaron must bring the young bull to me, to be an offering/sacrifice for himself and for his family. He must slaughter that bull to be an offering for their sins, [and he must drain the blood into a basin].
12 Tomará tambem o incensario cheio de brazas de fogo do altar, de diante do Senhor, e os seus punhos cheios de incenso aromatico moido, e o metterá dentro do véu.
Then he must take some burning coals from the [bronze] altar and put them in the incense burner. Then he must fill his hands with fragrant finely-ground incense. Then he must take the incense and the incense burner inside the curtain into the Very Holy Place [of the Sacred Tent].
13 E porá o incenso sobre o fogo perante o Senhor, e a nuvem do incenso cobrirá o propiciatorio, que está sobre o testemunho, para que não morra.
There he must put the incense on the burning coals, with the result that a cloud of burning incense will rise up over the lid of the sacred chest. If he obeys these instructions, he will not die [like Korah’s two sons did because of offering incense incorrectly] (OR, [because of being in God’s presence]).
14 E tomará do sangue do novilho, e com o seu dedo espargirá sobre a face do propiciatorio, para a banda do oriente; e perante o propiciatorio espargirá sete vezes do sangue com o seu dedo.
Then he must dip his finger into [the basin] and sprinkle some blood on the lid of the sacred chest, and also sprinkle some blood seven times against the front of the chest.
15 Depois degolará o bode da expiação, que será para o povo, e trará o seu sangue para dentro do véu; e fará com o seu sangue como fez com o sangue do novilho, e o espargirá sobre o propiciatorio, e perante a face do propiciatorio.
[“Aaron must then go outside the Sacred Tent] and slaughter the goat to be an offering for the sins of the people. Then he must bring its blood into the Very Holy Place behind the curtain. There he must sprinkle [some of] that blood on the lid of the sacred chest and against the front of the chest, like he did with the bull’s blood.
16 Assim fará expiação pelo sanctuario por causa das immundicias dos filhos de Israel e das suas transgressões, segundo todos os seus peccados: e assim fará para a tenda da congregação que mora com elles no meio das suas immundicias.
By doing that, he will purify the Very Holy Place. And he must sprinkle more of the blood on the Sacred Tent, because the tent is in the midst of the camp of the Israeli people who have become unacceptable to me [because of their sins].
17 E nenhum homem estará na tenda da congregação quando elle entrar a fazer expiação no sanctuario, até que elle saia: assim fará expiação por si mesmo, e pela sua casa, e por toda a congregação de Israel.
When Aaron goes into the Very Holy Place [in the Sacred Tent] to purify it, no one else is permitted to enter [the other part of] the Sacred Tent. Only after Aaron has performed rituals to enable me to forgive him and his family, and all the Israeli people, is any priest permitted to enter the Sacred Tent.
18 Então sairá ao altar, que está perante o Senhor, e fará expiação por elle; e tomará do sangue do novilho, e do sangue do bode, e o porá sobre os cornos do altar ao redor.
“Then Aaron must go outside the tent to purify my altar. He must do this by smearing some of the blood from the bull and some of the blood from the goat on each of the projections at the corners of the altar.
19 E d'aquelle sangue espargirá sobre elle com o seu dedo sete vezes, e o purificará das immundicias dos filhos de Israel, e o sanctificará.
Then Aaron must dip his finger into the [basin of] blood and sprinkle some of the blood over the altar seven times. By doing that, he will cleanse it from being unholy [because of the sins] of the Israeli people, and it will become holy again.
20 Havendo pois acabado de expiar o sanctuario, e a tenda da congregação, e o altar, então fará chegar o bode vivo.
“When Aaron has finished purifying the Very Holy Place [inside the Sacred Tent] and all of the Sacred Tent and the altar, he must bring the goat that was chosen to be set free.
21 E Aarão porá ambas as suas mãos sobre a cabeça do bode vive, e sobre elle confessará todas as iniquidades dos filhos de Israel, e todas as suas transgressões, segundo todos os seus peccados: e os porá sobre a cabeça do bode, e envial-o-ha ao deserto, pela mão d'um homem designado para isso.
He must put both of his hands on the head of the goat and confess all the sins [DOU] of the Israeli people. By doing that, he will put [the guilt of] their sins on the head of the goat. Then he must give the goat to a man who is chosen, and that man will send the goat out into the desert.
22 Assim aquelle bode levará sobre si todas as iniquidades d'elles á terra solitaria; e enviará o bode ao deserto.
[It is as though] the goat will carry away into the desert [the guilt for] the sins of all the people.
23 Depois Aarão virá á tenda da congregação, e despirá os vestidos de linho, que havia vestido quando entrara no sanctuario, e ali os deixará.
“When Aaron approaches the Sacred Tent, he must take off the linen clothes that he wore when he [previously] entered the Very Holy Place, and he must leave those clothes there.
24 E banhará a sua carne em agua no logar sancto, e vestirá os seus vestidos; então sairá e preparará o seu holocausto, e o holocausto do povo, e fará expiação por si e pelo povo.
Then he must bathe in a sacred place, put on his regular/ordinary clothes, and sacrifice the animals that will be burned completely on the altar for his own sins and for the sins of the Israeli people. By doing that he will enable me to forgive him and them.
25 Tambem queimará a gordura da expiação do peccado sobre o altar.
He must also burn on the altar all the fat of the bull and the goat that were sacrificed.
26 E aquelle que tiver levado o bode (que era bode emissario) lavará os seus vestidos, e banhará a sua carne em agua; e depois entrará no arraial.
“The man who was chosen to send the other goat into the desert and free it there must afterwards wash his clothes and bathe. Then he may return to the camp.
27 Mas o novilho da expiação, e o bode da expiação do peccado, cujo sangue foi trazido para fazer expiação no sanctuario, será levado fóra do arraial: porém as suas pelles, a sua carne, e o seu esterco queimarão com fogo.
The carcasses of the bull and the goat that were slaughtered to be an offering/sacrifice for the people’s sins, whose blood was taken inside the Very Holy Place to enable Yahweh to forgive the Israeli people, must be carried outside the camp and burned. The hides/skins of the animals, the inner organs, and the dung must also be burned.
28 E aquelle que os queimar lavará os seus vestidos, e banhará a sua carne em agua; e depois entrará no arraial.
The man who burns those things must then wash his clothes and bathe before he returns to the camp.
29 E isto vos será por estatuto perpetuo: no setimo mez, aos dez do mez, affligireis as vossas almas, e nenhuma obra fareis, nem o natural nem o estrangeiro que peregrina entre vós.
“On (October/the month after the dry season ends), on the day that I have appointed, you all must (fast/abstain from eating food) and not do any work. This is a rule/law that will never end. It must be obeyed by you people who have been Israelis all your lives, and also by foreigners who are living among you.
30 Porque n'aquelle dia fará expiação por vós, para purificar-vos: e sereis purificados de todos os vossos peccados perante o Senhor.
On that day, Aaron will perform rituals to enable me to forgive you all, and then I will cleanse/free you all from [the guilt of] all your sins and you will become acceptable to me.
31 É um sabbado de descanço para vós, e affligireis as vossas almas: isto é estatuto perpetuo.
That will be a day for you to rest and not do any work, like the Sabbath days, and you must (fast/abstain from eating food) all that day. That is a permanent command/law for you all to obey.
32 E o sacerdote, que fôr ungido, e que fôr sagrado, para administrar o sacerdocio no logar de seu pae, fará a expiação, havendo vestido os vestidos de linho, os vestidos sanctos:
In future years, [after Aaron has died], this ritual/ceremony to enable me to forgive you all [DOU] will be performed by the Supreme Priest who is anointed [with olive oil] and appointed to serve instead of his ancestor Aaron. He must put on the sacred clothes made of linen
33 Assim expiará o sancto sanctuario; tambem expiará a tenda da congregação e o altar; similhantemente fará expiação pelos sacerdotes e por todo o povo da congregação.
and offer sacrifices to purify the Very Holy Place, all of the Sacred Tent, the altar, the priests, and all the Israel people [like Aaron did].
34 E isto vos será por estatuto perpetuo, para fazer expiação pelos filhos d'Israel de todos os seus peccados, uma vez no anno. E fez Aarão como o Senhor ordenara a Moysés.
This will be a permanent command/law for you to obey once every year, to enable me to forgive you Israeli people for the sins that you have committed.” Moses/I obeyed all those instructions/commands that Yahweh had given to him/me.
