Levítico 5
1 Ítem, cuando alguna persona pecare, que hubiere oído la voz del juramento, y él fuere testigo que vio, o supo, si no lo denunciare, él llevará su pecado.
[Yahweh also said to tell the people], “If [a judge] orders any of you to tell [in court] something that you have seen or something that you heard someone say, if you refuse to say what you know is true, you must (pay a penalty/be punished) [MTY] for refusing to tell what you know.
2 Ítem, la persona que hubiere tocado en cualquiera cosa inmunda, sea cuerpo muerto de bestia inmunda, o cuerpo muerto de animal inmundo, o cuerpo muerto de serpiente inmunda, y ella no lo supiere, será inmunda y habrá pecado.
If you accidentally touch something which God considers impure [DOU], such as the carcass of a wild animal or the carcass of a bull or cow, or of an animal that scurries across the ground, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).
3 O si tocare hombre inmundo en cualquiera inmundicia suya, de que es inmundo, y no lo supiere, mas lo supiere después, habrá pecado.
If you touch any human feces, even if you do not intend to do that, when you realize what you have done, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).
4 Ítem, la persona que jurare, pronunciando de labios de hacer mal, o bien en todas las cosas que el hombre pronuncia con juramento, y él no lo supiere, mas después lo entendiere, el que será culpado en una de estas cosas,
If you carelessly make a solemn promise [to do something] that is good or that is bad, when you realize what you have done, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).
5 Y será, que cuando alguno pecare en alguna de estas cosas, confesará aquello en que pecó;
If you are guilty of committing any of those sins, you must confess what you have done.
6 Y traerá su expiación a Jehová por su pecado que pecó, una cordera hembra de la manada, o una cabra de las cabras por expiación, y el sacerdote le reconciliará de su pecado.
And for a penalty you must bring to Yahweh a female lamb or female goat, to be an offering for the sin that you have committed, and the priest will sacrifice it, and then you will no longer be guilty for your sin.
7 Y si no alcanzare para un cordero, traerá en expiación por su pecado que pecó, dos tórtolas, o dos palominos a Jehová; el uno para expiación, y el otro para holocausto.
If you [are poor and] cannot afford to bring a lamb, you must bring to Yahweh two doves or two young pigeons. One will be an offering for your sin and one will be an offering that will be completely burned [on the altar].
8 Y traerlos ha al sacerdote, el cual ofrecerá primero el que es por expiación, y quitará su cabeza de delante de su cuello, mas no apartará;
You must bring them to the priest. First he will offer one of them to be an offering for your sin. He will wring/twist its neck [to kill it], but he must not pull off its head completely.
9 Y esparcirá de la sangre de la expiación sobre la pared del altar; y lo que sobrare de la sangre exprimirlo ha al cimiento del altar; y esto será expiación.
Then he must sprinkle some of the blood against the side of the altar. The remaining blood must be drained out at the base of the altar. That will be an offering for your sin.
10 Y del otro hará holocausto conforme al rito; y así le reconciliará el sacerdote de su pecado que pecó, y habrá perdón.
The priest will then do what I have commanded and offer the other bird to be completely burned [on the altar]. Then you will no longer be guilty for the sin you have committed, and Yahweh will forgive you.
11 Mas si no alcanzare su mano para dos tórtolas, o dos palominos, traerá por su ofrenda por su pecado que pecó, la diezma de un efa de flor de harina por expiación. No pondrá sobre ella aceite, ni pondrá sobre ella incienso, porque es expiación.
However, if you [are very poor and] cannot afford two doves or two young pigeons, you must bring to be an offering for your sin (2 pounds/1 kg.) of fine flour. You must not put olive oil or incense on it, because it is an offering for sin.
12 Mas traerla ha al sacerdote, y el sacerdote tomará de ella su puño lleno para su memorial, y hará perfume sobre el altar sobre las otras ofrendas encendidas a Jehová; y esto será expiación.
You must take it to the priest. He will take a handful of it, to symbolize that the whole offering truly belongs to Yahweh, and burn it on the altar, on top of the other offerings.
13 Y así le reconciliará el sacerdote de su pecado, que pecó, en alguna de estas cosas, y habrá perdón; y será del sacerdote, como el presente.
And by doing that, the priest will enable you to no longer be guilty for any of the sins that you have committed, and you will be forgiven. The part of the offering that is not burned will belong to the priest, like was true for the offerings made from grain.”
14 Habló más Jehová a Moisés, diciendo:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
15 Cuando alguna persona hiciere prevaricación, y pecare por yerro en las cosas santificadas a Jehová, traerá por su expiación a Jehová un carnero sin tacha del ganado, conforme a tu estimación, de dos siclos de plata del siclo del santuario, por el pecado.
“When you sin, without intending to, by not giving to Yahweh the things that you are required to give to him, you must pay a penalty by bringing to Yahweh a ram that has no defects. You must determine how much silver it is worth, by using the official standard in the temple. It will be an offering to cause you to no longer be guilty.
16 Y lo que hubiere pecado del santuario, pagará, y añadirá sobre ella su quinto, y darlo ha al sacerdote, y el sacerdote le reconciliará con el carnero de la expiación, y habrá perdón.
But you must also make restitution for what you failed to give to Yahweh, adding one-fifth of its value. You must give that to the priest. He will offer the ram as a sacrifice for the sin that you have committed, and cause you to no longer be guilty; and you will be forgiven.
17 Ítem, Si alguna persona pecare, e hiciere alguno de todos los mandamientos de Jehová, que no se han de hacer, y no lo supiere, y así pecó, llevará su pecado.
If you sin by doing something that is forbidden by any of Yahweh’s commands, even if you do not know that you have disobeyed one of my commands, you are guilty and must pay a penalty [to me].
18 Y traerá un carnero perfecto de las ovejas, conforme a tu estimación, por expiación, al sacerdote, y el sacerdote la reconciliará, de su yerro que erró sin saber, y habrá perdón.
[When you realize what you have done], you must bring a ram to the Supreme Priest to be an offering in order that you will no longer be guilty. You must bring one that has no defects. He will offer the ram to be a sacrifice to me, and as a result you will no longer be guilty for the sin that you have committed, and you will be forgiven.
19 Pecado es, y pecando pecó a Jehová.
It is an offering to cause you to no longer be guilty for sinning against me.”
