Levítico 4

1 Entonces el Señor le dijo a Moisés:

And Yahweh spake, unto Moses, saying:

2 “Dile a los israelitas que estas son las reglas para manejar los casos de aquellos que pecan involuntariamente contra alguno de los mandamientos del Señor y hacen lo que no está permitido.

Speak thou unto the sons of Israel, saying—When any person, shall sin by mistake, departing from any of the commandments of Yahweh, as to things which should not be done, and shall do any one of them, —

3 “Si es el Sumo Sacerdote quien peca y trae la culpa sobre todos, debe presentar al Señor un novillo sin defectos como ofrenda por su pecado.

If, the anointed priest, shall sin, so as to bring guilt upon the people, then shall he bring near for his sin which he hath committed a choice young bullock without defect, unto Yahweh as a sin-bearer.

4 Debes llevar el toro a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión ante el Señor, poner su mano sobre su cabeza y matarlo ante el Señor.

And he shall bring in the bullock unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, before Yahweh, —and shall lean his hand upon the head of the bullock, and shall slay the bullock before Yahweh.

5 Entonces el sumo sacerdote llevará parte de la sangre del toro al Tabernáculo de Reunión.

And the anointed priest shall take of the blood of the bullock, —and bring it into the tent of meeting;

6 El sumo sacerdote mojará su dedo en la sangre y rociará un poco de ella siete veces delante el Señor, frente del velo del santuario.

and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, —and sprinkle of the blood seven times, before Yahweh, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.

7 El sacerdote pondrá un poco de sangre sobre los cuernos del altar de incienso aromático que está ante el Señor en el Tabernáculo de Reunión. El resto de la sangre del toro la derramará en el fondo del altar de los holocaustos, a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión.

Then shall the priest put of the blood upon the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before Yahweh, which is in the tent of meeting, —and, all the [remainder of the] blood of the bullock, shall he pour out at the base of the altar of ascending-sacrifice, which is at the entrance of the tent of meeting,

8 Entonces quitará toda la grasa del toro de la ofrenda por el pecado: toda la grasa que cubre las entrañas,

And all the fat of the sin-bearing bullock, shall he heave up therefrom, —the fat that covereth over the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards;

9 ambos riñones con la grasa en ellos por los lomos, y la mejor parte del hígado, que debe eliminar junto con los riñones

and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them which is upon the loins, —and as for the caul upon the liver, upon the kidneys, shall he remove it:

10 de la misma manera que la grasa se quita del toro de la ofrenda de paz. Entonces el sacerdote quemará esto en el altar de la ofrenda quemada.

just as it is heaved up from the ox of the peace-offering, —and the priest shall make of them a perfume on the altar of ascending-sacrifice,

11 “Pero la piel del toro, toda su carne, cabeza, patas, interiores y desechos,

But, as for the skin of the bullock and all its flesh with its head and with its legs, —and its inwards, and its dung,

12 y todo el resto, tiene que llevarlo fuera del campamento a un lugar que esté ceremonialmente limpio, donde se arrojen las cenizas, y debe quemarlo en un fuego de leña allí en el montón de cenizas.

he shall take forth the entire bullock—unto the outside of the camp, unto a clean place unto the outpoured heap of fat-ashes, and shall burn it up on wood in the fire, —upon the outpoured heap of fat-ashes, shall it be burned up.

13 “Si todo el pueblo de Israel se extravía sin querer, y aunque no sean conscientes de hacer lo que no está permitido por ninguno de los mandamientos del Señor, siguen siendo todos culpables.

And, if the whole assembly of Israel, shall make a mistake, and a matter be hidden from the eyes of the convocation, —and so they do something, whereby they depart from any of the commandments of Yahweh as to things which should not be done, and become guilty;

14 Cuando se den cuenta de su pecado, deben traer un toro joven como ofrenda por el pecado y presentarlo ante el Tabernáculo de Reunión.

and the sin shall become known, which they have committed therein, then shall the convocation bring near a choice young bullock as a sin-bearer, yea they shall bring it in. before the tent of meeting;

15 Los ancianos de Israel pondrán sus manos sobre su cabeza y lo matarán delante el Señor.

and the elders of the assembly shall lean their hands upon the head of the bullock before Yahweh, —and shall slay the bullock, before Yahweh;

16 Entonces el sumo sacerdote llevará parte de la sangre del toro al Tabernáculo de Reunión.

and the anointed priest shall bring in of the blood of the bullock, —into the tent of meeting;

17 Mojará su dedo en la sangre y lo rociará siete veces ante el Señor delante del velo.

and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, —and shall sprinkle of the blood seven times before Yahweh, upon the face of the veil;

18 Pondrá un poco de sangre en los cuernos del altar que está delante del Señor en el Tabernáculo de Reunión. Luego derramará el resto de la sangre del toro en el fondo del altar de los holocaustos a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión.

and, some of the blood, shall he put upon the horns of the altar which is before Yahweh, which is in the tent of meeting; and, all the [remainder of the] blood, shall he pour out at the base of the altar of ascending-sacrifice, which is at the entrance of the tent of meeting;

19 Luego le quitará toda la grasa al toro y lo quemará en el altar.

and, as for all the fat thereof, he shall heave up therefrom, —and make a perfume at the altar.

20 Ofrecerá este toro de la misma manera que lo hizo para la ofrenda por el pecado. Así es como el sacerdote los expiará, y serán perdonados.

And he shall do to the bullock, as he did to the [first] sin-bearing bullock, so shall he do with this, —and the priest shall put a propitiatory-covering over them, and it shall be forgiven them.

21 Entonces tomará el toro fuera del campamento y lo quemará, tal y como quemó el toro anteriormente mencionado. Es la ofrenda por el pecado de todo el pueblo.

And he shall take forth the bullock unto the outside of the camp, and burn it up, just as he burned up the first bullock, —the sin-bearer of the convocation, it is.

22 “Si un líder peca involuntariamente y hace lo que no está permitido por ninguno de los mandamientos del Señor su Dios, es culpable.

When a prince, shall sin, —and shall do something, departing from any of the commandments of Yahweh his God as to things which should not be done, by mistake and shall become aware of his guilt;

23 Cuando se dé cuenta de su pecado, debe traer un macho cabrío sin defectos como ofrenda.

or his sin wherein he hath sinned be made known unto him, then shall he bring in. as his oblation a he-goat a male without defect;

24 Debe poner su mano en la cabeza del cabrito y matarlo en el lugar donde se presenta la ofrenda quemada ante el Señor. Es una ofrenda por el pecado.

and shall lean his hand upon the head of the goat, and shall slay it in the place where they slay the ascending-sacrifice before Yahweh, —a sin-bearer, it is.

25 Entonces el sacerdote debe tomar parte de la sangre de la ofrenda por el pecado con su dedo y ponerla en los cuernos del altar de la ofrenda quemada, y derramar el resto de la sangre en la base del altar.

And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-bearer with his finger, and put upon the horns of the altar of ascending-sacrifice; and, the [remainder of the] blood thereof, shall he pour out at the base of the altar of ascending-sacrifice;

26 Quemará toda su grasa en el altar como la grasa de las ofrendas de paz. De esta manera el sacerdote expiará el pecado del hombre y será perdonado.

and with all the fat thereof, shall he make a perfume at the altar, as with the fat of the peace-offering, —so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him because of his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

27 “Si cualquier otro israelita peca involuntariamente y hace lo que no está permitido por ninguno de los mandamientos del Señor su Dios, es culpable.

And, if, any person, shall sin, by mistake from among the people of the land, —by his doing anything departing from any of the commandments of Yahweh, as to things which should not be done, and shall become aware of his guilt;

28 Cuando se dé cuenta de su pecado, debe traer una cabra sin defectos como ofrenda por ese pecado.

or his sin which he hath committed shall be made known unto, him, then shall he bring in, as his oblation, a kid of the goats a female, without defect, for his sin which he hath committed;

29 Debe poner su mano en la cabeza de la ofrenda por el pecado y matarla en el lugar del holocausto.

and shall lean his hand upon the head of the sin-bearer, —and shall slay the sin-bearer in the place of the ascending-sacrifice.

30 Entonces el sacerdote debe tomar un poco de su sangre con su dedo y ponerla en los cuernos del altar de la ofrenda quemada, y derramar el resto de la sangre en la base del altar.

Then shall the priest take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put upon the horns of the altar of ascending-sacrifice, —and all the [remaining] blood thereof, shall he pour out, at the base of the altar;

31 Le quitará toda su grasa como la grasa de las ofrendas de paz y la quemará en el altar y será aceptada por el Señor. De esta manera el sacerdote expiará el pecado del hombre y será perdonado.

and all the fat thereof, shall he remove as the fat from off the peace-offering was removed, and the priest shall make a perfume at the altar, for a satisfying odour unto Yahweh, —so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him, and it shall be forgiven him.

32 “Si trae un cordero como ofrenda por el pecado, debe traer una hembra sin defectos.

And, if a lamb, he bring in. as his oblation for a sin-bearer, a female without defect, shall he bring in;

33 Debe poner su mano en la cabeza de la ofrenda por el pecado y matarla como ofrenda por el pecado en el lugar donde se hace el holocausto.

and shall lean his hand upon the head of the sin-bearer, —and shall slay it as a sin-bearer, in the place where they slay the ascending-sacrifice.

34 Entonces el sacerdote debe tomar un poco de su sangre con su dedo y ponerla en los cuernos del altar de la ofrenda quemada, y derramar el resto de la sangre en la base del altar.

Then shall the priest take of the blood of the sin-bearer with his finger, and put upon the horns of the altar of ascending-sacrifice, —and all the [remaining] blood thereof, shall he pour out, at the base of the altar;

35 Le quitará toda su grasa como la grasa del cordero se quita de las ofrendas de paz y la quemará en el altar y será aceptada por el Señor. De esta forma el sacerdote expiará el pecado del hombre, y será perdonado”.

and all the fat thereof, shall he remove as the fat of the lamb is removed, from the peace-offering, and the priest shall make a perfume therewith at the altar, upon the altar-flames of Yahweh, —so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him on account of his sin which he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
