Levítico 5
1 “Si tú pecas por no suministrar las pruebas necesarias en un caso legal, ya sea que tú mismo hayas visto o escuchado algo al respecto, eres responsable de tu culpabilidad.
“‘If anyone sins, in that he hears a public adjuration to testify, he being a witness, whether he has seen or known, if he doesn’t report it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
2 Si tocas algo sucio como el cadáver de un animal salvaje impuro o animales de granja o bichos, incluso si no eres consciente de ello, serás impuro y culpable.
“‘Or if anyone touches any unclean thing, whether it is the carcass of an unclean animal, or the carcass of unclean livestock, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and it is hidden from him, and he is unclean, then he shall be guilty.
3 Si tocas algo sucio de alguien que es sucio, incluso si no eres consciente de ello, serás culpable.
“‘Or if he touches the uncleanness of man, whatever his uncleanness is with which he is unclean, and it is hidden from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty.
4 Si juras imprudentemente hacer algo, (ya sea bueno o malo, y de cualquier manera que la gente pueda jurar impulsivamente), incluso si no eres consciente de que está mal, cuando finalmente te das cuenta, serás culpable.
“‘Or if anyone swears rashly with his lips to do evil or to do good—whatever it is that a man might utter rashly with an oath, and it is hidden from him—when he knows of it, then he will be guilty of one of these.
5 “Si te vuelves culpable de una de estas formas, debes confesar tu pecado,
It shall be, when he is guilty of one of these, he shall confess that in which he has sinned;
6 y debes llevar tu ofrenda de culpa de un cordero o cabra hembra al Señor como una ofrenda por tu pecado. El sacerdote expiará tu pecado.
and he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD for his sin which he has sinned: a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin.
7 Si no te alcanza para comprar un cordero, puedes ofrecer al Señor como compensación por tu pecado dos tórtolas o dos palomas jóvenes, una como ofrenda por el pecado y otra como holocausto.
“‘If he can’t afford a lamb, then he shall bring his trespass offering for that in which he has sinned, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
8 Debes llevarlos al sacerdote, quien presentará el primero como la ofrenda por el pecado. Él debe arrancarle la cabeza del cuello sin quitarla completamente.
He shall bring them to the priest, who shall first offer the one which is for the sin offering. He shall wring off its head from its neck, but shall not sever it completely.
9 Luego debe rociar parte de la sangre de la ofrenda por el pecado en el lado del altar mientras el resto de la sangre es derramada en la base del altar. Es una ofrenda por el pecado.
He shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.
10 El sacerdote debe entonces preparar la segunda tórtola como holocausto según las normas. De esta manera el sacerdote te justificará por tus pecados, y serás perdonado.
He shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the ordinance; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven.
11 “Si no te alcanza para comprar dos tórtolas o dos pichones, puedes traer un décimo de efa de la mejor harina como ofrenda por el pecado. No le pongas aceite de oliva o incienso, porque es una ofrenda por el pecado.
“‘But if he can’t afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then he shall bring as his offering for that in which he has sinned, one tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering. He shall put no oil on it, and he shall not put any frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.
12 Llévala al sacerdote, que tomará un puñado como ‘recordatorio’ y lo quemará en el altar sobre las ofrendas quemadas al Señor. Es una ofrenda por el pecado.
He shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as the memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, on the offerings of the LORD made by fire. It is a sin offering.
13 Así es como el sacerdote expiará cualquiera de estos pecados que hayas cometido, y serás perdonado. El resto de la ofrenda pertenecerá al sacerdote, al igual que la ofrenda de grano”.
The priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned in any of these things, and he will be forgiven; and the rest shall be the priest’s, as the meal offering.’”
14 El Señor le dijo a Moisés:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
15 “Si alguno de ustedes descuida involuntariamente todo lo que el Señor ha declarado que le pertenece y es santo, debes llevar tu ofrenda de culpabilidad al Señor: un carnero sin defectos de tu rebaño o sólo uno de valor equivalente en siclos de plata (según el estándar del siclo del santuario). Es una ofrenda por la culpa.
“If anyone commits a trespass, and sins unwittingly regarding the LORD’s holy things, then he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD: a ram without defect from the flock, according to your estimation in silver by shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering.
16 En cuanto a cualquier requisito sagrado que no hayas aportado, debes pagar una compensación añadiéndole un quinto de su valor y luego dárselo al sacerdote, que lo arreglará con el carnero como ofrenda por la culpa, y serás perdonado.
He shall make restitution for that which he has done wrong regarding the holy thing, and shall add a fifth part to it, and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and he will be forgiven.
17 Si pecas y quebrantas alguno de los mandamientos del Señor, aunque no seas consciente de ello, sigues siendo culpable y asumes la responsabilidad de tu culpa.
“If anyone sins, doing any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, though he didn’t know it, he is still guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
18 Debes llevar al sacerdote un carnero sin defectos y de valor apropiado como ofrenda de culpabilidad. Entonces expiará por ti el mal que hiciste en la ignorancia, y serás perdonado.
He shall bring a ram without defect from of the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning the thing in which he sinned and didn’t know it, and he will be forgiven.
19 Es una ofrenda de culpa porque fuiste culpable en lo que concierne al Señor”.
It is a trespass offering. He is certainly guilty before the LORD.”
