Levitiko 4

1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,

2 Tala ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Kapau ʻe fai hala ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi he taʻeʻilo ki ha fekau ʻa Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke fai, pea fai ʻe ia ʻo angatuʻu ki ai:

“Say this to the Israeli people: This is what must be done if someone sins without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of Yahweh’s commands.

3 Kapau ʻoku fai hala ʻae taulaʻeiki ʻaia kuo fakanofo, ʻo hangē ko e angahala ʻae kakai; ke ʻomi ʻe ia maʻa ʻene angahala ʻaia kuo ne fai, ʻae pulu mui taʻehanomele kia Sihova ko e feilaulau maʻae angahala.

'If the Supreme [MTY] Priest sins, and that causes all the people to be guilty, he must bring to Yahweh a young bull that has no defects. That will be an offering for the sin that he has committed.

4 Pea ʻe ʻomi ʻe ia ʻae pulu ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea ʻe hili hono nima ki he ʻulu ʻoe pulu pea ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae pulu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

He must bring the bull to the entrance to the Sacred Tent. He must lay his hands on its head. Then he must slaughter it in front of Yahweh [and drain some of the blood into a bowl].

5 Pea ʻe toʻo ʻe he taulaʻeiki kuo fakanofo ʻae toto ʻoe pulu ʻo ʻomi ia ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

Then the Supreme Priest must take some of that blood into the Sacred Tent.

6 Pea ʻe ʻai ʻe he taulaʻeiki hono tuhu ki he toto, pea ʻe luluku ʻaki ʻae toto ke liunga fitu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻi he tuʻa puipui ʻoe faletapu.

He must dip [one of] his fingers into the blood and sprinkle it seven times in the presence of Yahweh, in front of the curtain [that separates the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place].

7 Pea ʻe ʻai ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae toto ki he ngaahi nifo ʻoe feilaulauʻanga namu kakala ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai: pea ʻe lingi ʻe ia ʻae toto kotoa pē ʻoe pulu ki he tefitoʻi feilaulauʻanga ʻoe feilaulau tutu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

Then he must put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the altar where fragrant incense is burned in the Sacred Tent in the presence of Yahweh. The remaining part of the bull’s blood [that is still in the bowl], he must pour out at the base of the altar, where sacrifices are burned, at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.

8 Pea ʻe toʻo ʻe ia mei ai hono ngako, kotoa pē ʻoe pulu ki he feilaulau maʻae angahala; ko e punukete, mo e ngako kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi loto,

From that offering the Supreme Priest must separate these things from the bull that is to be burned: The fat that covers the inner parts of the bull or which is attached to them—

9 Mo e kofuua ʻe ua, mo e ngako ʻoku ʻi ai, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ngutukete, mo e ʻahu ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ʻate, mo e ongo kofuua, ʻe toʻo ia ʻo ʻave,

the kidneys and the fat that is attached to them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

10 Hangē ko hono toʻo ʻo ʻave mei he pulu ʻi he feilaulau fakalelei: pea ʻe tutu ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki ki he funga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻoe feilaulau tutu.

Then the Supreme Priest must completely burn those things on the altar. That will be just like when the fat is removed from an animal that is sacrificed to maintain good fellowship [with Yahweh].

11 Pea ko e kili ʻoe pulu, mo hono kanomate, mo hono ʻulu, mo hono ngaahi kau vaʻe, mo hono toʻotoʻonga, mo hono kinohaʻa,

But all the other parts of the animal—its skin/hide and all its other meat, its head and its legs, its inner parts and the intestines,

12 ‌ʻIo, hono kotoa ʻoe pulu ʻe fetuku atu ʻe ia kituaʻā ʻi he ʻapitanga, ki he potu maʻa, ʻaia ʻoku lilingi ki ai ʻae efuefu, pea ʻe tutu ia ʻi he fefie ʻaki ʻae afi: ʻe tutu ia ʻi he potu ʻoku lilingi ki ai ʻae efuefu.

he must take outside the camp and throw them in a place that is acceptable to Yahweh, where the ashes are thrown, and he must burn them in a fire on the pile of ashes.

13 Pea kapau ʻoku fai hala ʻi he taʻeʻilo ʻe he fakataha kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli, pea fufū ʻae meʻa mei he mata ʻoe fakataha, pea kuo nau fai ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke fai, pea ʻoku nau halaia;

‘If all the Israeli people sin without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of Yahweh’s commands, they will be guilty, even if they do not realize that they have sinned.

14 Pea ka hoko ʻo ʻilo ʻae angahala ko ia kuo nau fai, pea ʻe toki ʻatu ʻe he fakataha ʻae pulu mui ʻi heʻenau angahala, ʻonau ʻomi ia ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

When they realize that they have committed a sin, together they must bring a young bull to be an offering for their sin, to the front of the Sacred Tent.

15 Pea ʻe hili ʻe he kau mātuʻa ʻoe fakataha honau nima ki he ʻulu ʻoe pulu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae pulu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

The elders must lay their hands on the bull’s head in the presence of Yahweh and slaughter it [and catch some of the blood in a bowl].

16 Pea ʻe ʻomi ʻae toto ʻoe pulu ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻaia kuo fakanofo, ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai:

Then the Supreme [MTY] Priest must take some of that blood into the Sacred Tent.

17 Pea ʻe ʻai ʻe he taulaʻeiki hono tuhu ki he toto, ʻo luluku ʻaki ia ke liunga fitu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻi he tuʻa puipui.

‘He must dip [one of] his fingers into the blood and sprinkle it seven times in the presence of Yahweh, in front of the curtain [that separates the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place].

18 Pea ʻe ʻai ʻe ia ʻae toto ʻi he nifo ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻi he fale fehikitahi ʻoe kakai, pea ʻe lingi ʻe ia ʻae toto kotoa pē ki he tefitoʻi feilaulauʻanga ʻoe feilaulau tutu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha.

Then he must put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the altar that is in the presence of Yahweh in the Sacred Tent. The remaining part of the bull’s blood, he must pour out at the base of the altar where sacrifices are burned, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.

19 Pea ʻe toʻo ʻe ia hono ngako kotoa pē, ʻo tutu ia ki he funga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.

He must remove all the animal’s fat and burn it on the altar.

20 Pea ʻe fai ʻe ia ki he pulu ni ʻo hangē ko ʻene fai ki he pulu ʻi he feilaulau maʻae angahala, ʻe pehē pē ʻene fai ʻeni: pea ʻe fai ʻe he taulaʻeiki ha fakalelei koeʻuhi ko kinautolu, pea ʻe fakamolemole ia kiate kinautolu.

He must do with this bull the same things that he did with the bull that was an offering for his own sins, and they will be forgiven {Yahweh will forgive them}.

21 Pea ʻe fetuku ʻe ia ʻae pulu kituaʻā ʻi he ʻapitanga, pea ʻe tutu ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene tutu ʻae ʻuluaki pulu: ko e feilaulau ia maʻae angahala ʻae fakataha.

Then the priest must take [the other parts of] the bull outside the camp and burn them, like he does when he himself has sinned. That will be the offering for the sin that all the people have committed, and they will be forgiven.

22 ʻOka fai hala ʻae pule, pea fai hala ʻi he taʻeʻilo ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko hono ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke fai, pea ne halaia ai;

‘When one of the leaders sins without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of the commands of Yahweh his God, he will be guilty.

23 Pea kapau kuo toki ʻilo ʻe ia ʻene angahala; ʻe ʻomi ʻe ia ʻene feilaulau, ko e ʻuhikiʻi kosi, ko e [manu ]tangata taʻehanomele;

When he realizes that he has committed a sin, he must bring as his offering a male goat that has no defects.

24 Pea ʻe hili ʻe ia hono nima ki he ʻulu ʻoe kosi, ʻo tāmateʻi ia ʻi he potu ʻoku nau tāmateʻi ai ʻae feilaulau tutu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: ko e feilaulau ia maʻae angahala

He must lay his hands on the goat’s head in the presence of Yahweh and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter {are slaughtered} the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar]. That will be an offering for his sin.

25 Pea ʻe toʻo ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae toto ʻoe feilaulau maʻae angahala ʻaki hono tuhu, ʻo ʻai ia ki he ngaahi nifo ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻoe feilaulau tutu, pea lingi hono toto ki he tefitoʻi feilaulauʻanga ʻoe feilaulau tutu.

Then the priest must put some of the animal’s blood [into a bowl] and dip [one of] his fingers in it and put some of the blood on the corners of the projections of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

26 Pea ʻe tutu ʻe ia hono ngako kotoa pē ki he funga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, ʻo hangē ko e ngako ʻoe feilaulau fakalelei: pea ʻe fai ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae fakalelei maʻana ʻi heʻene angahala, pea ʻe fakamolemole ia kiate ia.

Then he must burn all the fat on the altar, as was done with the fat of the offering to maintain good fellowship [with Yahweh]. As a result of the priest’s doing that, the leader will no longer be guilty for his sin and he will be forgiven.

27 Pea kapau ʻe fai angahala ʻe he tokotaha ʻi he kakai lāuvale ʻi he taʻeʻilo, ʻo fai hala ki he fekau ʻa Sihova ʻi he meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke fai; pea ne halaia ai:

‘If one of the Israeli people who is not a priest sins without intending to sin, and does something that is forbidden in any of the commands of Yahweh his God, he will be guilty.

28 Pea kapau ʻe toki ʻilo ʻe ia ʻae angahala kuo ne fai: pea ʻe ʻomi ʻe ia ʻene feilaulau, ko e ʻuhikiʻi kosi, ko e [manu ]fefine taʻehanomele, maʻa ʻene angahala ʻaia kuo ne fai.

When he realizes that he has committed a sin, he must bring as his offering a female goat that has no defects.

29 Pea ʻe hili ʻe ia hono nima ki he ʻulu ʻoe feilaulau maʻae angahala, ʻo tāmateʻi ʻae feilaulau maʻae angahala ʻi he potu ʻoe feilaulau tutu.

He must lay his hands on the goat’s head and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar, and catch some of the blood in a bowl].

30 Pea ʻe toʻo ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae toto ʻaki hono tuhu ʻo ʻai ia ki he nifo ʻoe feilaulauʻanga tutu, pea ʻe lingi ʻe ia ʻa hono toto kotoa pē ki he tefitoʻi feilaulauʻanga.

Then the priest must dip [one of] his fingers in the blood, and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

31 Pea ʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae ngako kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e toʻo ʻo ʻave ʻae ngako mei he feilaulau ʻoe fakalelei; pea ʻe tutu ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki ki he funga feilaulauʻanga ko e meʻa namu kakala kia Sihova; pea ʻe fai ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae fakalelei maʻana pea ʻe fakamolemole ia kiate ia.

Then he must remove all the goat’s fat, and burn all the fat on the altar, like was done with the fat of the offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh. As a result of the priest doing that, the person will no longer be guilty for his sin, and he will be forgiven.

32 Pea kapau ʻe ʻomi ʻe ia ha lami ko e feilaulau maʻae angahala, pea ʻe ʻomi ia ko e[manu ]fefine taʻehanomele.

‘If that person brings a lamb to be his offering for sin, he must bring a female lamb that has no defects.

33 Pea ʻe hili ʻe ia hono nima ki he ʻulu ʻoe feilaulau maʻae angahala, ʻo tāmateʻi ia ko e feilaulau maʻae angahala, ʻi he potu ʻoku nau tāmateʻi ai ʻae feilaulau tutu.

He must lay his hands on the lamb’s head and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar, and catch some of the blood in a bowl].

34 Pea ʻe toʻo ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae toto ʻoe feilaulau maʻae angahala ʻaki hono tuhu, ʻo ʻai ia ki he nifo ʻoe feilaulauʻanga tutu, ʻo lingi hono toto kotoa pē ki he tefitoʻi feilaulauʻanga:

Then the priest must dip [one of] his fingers in the blood and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

35 Pea ʻe toʻo ʻo ʻave hono ngako kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e ʻave ʻae ngako ʻoe lami mei he feilaulau ʻoe feilaulau fakalelei; pea ʻe tutu ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki ki he funga feilaulauʻanga, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi feilaulau kuo fai ʻaki ʻae afi kia Sihova: pea ʻe fai ʻae fakalelei ʻe he taulaʻeiki maʻa ʻene angahala ʻaia kuo ne fai, pea ʻe fakamolemole ia kiate ia.

Then he must remove all the lamb’s fat, and burn all the fat on the altar, like was done with the fat of the offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. He must burn it on top of the other offerings to Yahweh that are being burned. As a result, the priest will request God to forgive that person for his sin, and he will be forgiven.’”
