Levítico 5

1 Y si alguien hace algo malo al no decir nada cuando se le presta juramento como testigo de algo que ha visto o ha tenido conocimiento, entonces será responsable.

Any person, moreover, whensoever he shall sin in that, when he heareth a voice of swearing, he himself, being a witness either seeing or knowing, —if he do not tell and so hath to bear his iniquity: —

2 Si alguien se vuelve inmundo al tocar inconscientemente alguna cosa sucia, como el cadáver de una bestia inmunda o de ganado inmundo o de cualquier animal impuro que se deslice sobre la tierra, será responsable.

Or, any person, who toucheth anything unclean, whether the carcase of an unclean wild-beast or the carcase of an unclean tame-beast, or the carcase of an unclean creeping thing, —and it is hidden from him, he himself being unclean, and he becometh aware of his guilt: —

3 O si se vuelve inmundo al tocar inconscientemente cualquier cosa inmunda del hombre, sea lo que sea, cuando se le aclare, será responsable.

Or whensoever one shall touch the uncleanness of man, as regardeth any uncleanness of his, wherewith one may become unclean, —and it be hidden from him, and then he himself, getting to know it becometh aware of his guilt: —

4 O si alguien, sin pensamiento, hace un juramento de hacer el mal o hacer el bien, lo que diga sin pensar, con un juramento, sin saber lo que está haciendo; Cuando le quede claro, será responsable de cualquiera de estas cosas.

Or, any person, whensoever he shall swear, speaking unadvisedly with the lips, to harm or to help, as regardeth anything wherein the son of earth may speak unadvisedly by way of oath, and it be hidden from him, —and then, he himself, getting to know it, becometh aware of his guilt as regardeth any one of these things.

5 Y quien sea responsable de tal pecado, haga una declaración abierta de su maldad;

Then shall it be, when he becometh aware of his guilt, as regardeth any one of these things, that he shall confess that wherein he hath sinned;

6 Y llévale al Señor la ofrenda por el mal que ha hecho, una hembra del rebaño, un cordero o una cabra, para una ofrenda por el pecado, y el sacerdote quitará su pecado.

and shall bring in as his guilt-bearer unto Yahweh for his sin which he hath committed, a female from the flock—a lamb or a kid of the goats—as a sin-bearer, —so shall the priest put propitiatory-covering over him, because of his sin.

7 Y si no tiene dinero suficiente para un cordero, entonces dé, para su ofrenda al Señor, dos palomas o dos tórtolas; uno para una ofrenda por el pecado y otro para una ofrenda quemada.

And, if his hand cannot reach sufficient for a lamb, then shall he bring in to bear his guilt—for that he hath sinned—two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons unto Yahweh, —one for a sin-bearer, and one for an ascending-sacrifice.

8 Y que se los lleve al sacerdote, que primero dará la ofrenda por el pecado, y le sacará la cabeza del cuello, pero no la cortará en dos;

And he shall take them in unto the priest, who shall bring near that which is for a sin-bearer first, —and shall nip through the neck close to the head but shall not divide it asunder.

9 Y él pondrá gotas de la sangre de la ofrenda al costado del altar, y el resto de la sangre se drena en la base del altar; es una ofrenda por el pecado.

And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin-bearer upon the wall of the altar, and the remainder of the blood, shall he drain out at the base of the altar, —a, sin-bearer, it is.

10 Y el segundo es para una ofrenda quemada, de acuerdo con la ley; y el sacerdote quitará su pecado y tendrá perdón.

And of the second, shall he make an ascending-sacrifice according to the regulation, —so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him, because of his sin which he hath committed and it shall be forgiven him.

11 Pero si no tiene suficiente dinero para dos palomas o dos tórtolas, entonces démosle, por el pecado que ha cometido, la décima parte de un efa del mejor grano, por una ofrenda por el pecado; no le pongas aceite, ni incienso, porque es una ofrenda por el pecado.

But if his hand cannot lay hold of two turtledove, or two young pigeons, then shall he bring in as his oblation—because he hath sinned—the tenth of an ephah of fine meal for bearing sin, —he shall not put thereon oil, neither shall he lay thereon frankincense, for a sin-bearer, it is.

12 Y que venga al sacerdote con él, y el sacerdote tomará un poco de él en su mano, para ser quemado en el altar como un recordatorio, entre las ofrendas quemadas hechas para él Señor: es un pecado de expiación.

And he shall bring it in unto the priest, and the priest shall take therefrom a handful, as the memorial thereof, and shall make a perfume at the altar, upon the altar-flames of Yahweh, —a sin-bearer, it is.

13 Y el sacerdote quitará su pecado y tendrá perdón; y el resto de la ofrenda será del sacerdote, de la misma manera que la ofrenda de cereales.

So shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him, on account of his sin which he hath committed, departing from some one of these things, and it shall be forgiven him, —then shall it be the priest’s, like the meal-offering.

14 Y él Señor dijo a Moisés:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying—

15 Si yerra, pecando equivocadamente en relación con las cosas santas del Señor, que tome su ofrenda al Señor, un cordero macho del rebaño, sin ningun defecto, del valor fijado por ti en plata por siclos, por la escala del lugar santo.

Whensoever, any person, shall commit a trespass, and shall take away by mistake, from the holy things of Yahweh, then shall he bring in as his guilt-bearer unto Yahweh, a ram without defect out of the flock, with thine estimate in silver by shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a guilt-bearer:

16 Y debe pagarle al sacerdote lo que ha hecho mal en relación con lo sagrado, junto con una quinta parte de su valor, además; y el sacerdote quitará su pecado por las ovejas de su ofrenda, y tendrá perdón.

that, moreover, which he took away from the sanctuary, shall he make good and the fifth part thereof, shall he add thereunto, and shall give it to the priest, —and, the priest, shall put a propitiatory-covering over him with the guilt-bearing ram and it shall be forgiven him.

17 Y si alguien hace algo malo, y hace alguna de las cosas que el Señor ha ordenado que no se debe hacer, aunque no lo sepa, todavía está equivocado y es responsable.

And if any person when he shall sin, and do something, departing from any of the commandments of Yahweh, as to things which should not be done, —though he knew it not, shall so become guilty, and shall bear his iniquity,

18 Déjalo venir al sacerdote con una oveja, un macho sin defecto fuera del rebaño, del valor fijado por ti, como ofrenda por su error; y el sacerdote quitará el pecado que cometió por error, y tendrá perdón.

then shall he bring in a ram without defect out of the flock by thine estimate as a guilt-bearer unto the priest, —and the priest shall put a propitiatory-covering over him, on account of his mistake which he made though he knew it not and it shall be forgiven him:

19 Es una ofrenda por su error: ciertamente es responsable ante el Señor.

a guilt-bearer, it is, —he was, verily guilty against Yahweh.
