Leviticus 4

1 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,

2 “Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé, ‘Bí ẹnìkan bá ṣẹ̀ láìmọ̀, tí ó ṣe ohun tí kò yẹ kó ṣe sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn òfin Olúwa.

“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 “‘Bí àlùfáà tí a fi òróró yàn bá ṣẹ̀, tí ó sì mú ẹ̀bi wá sórí àwọn ènìyàn, ó gbọdọ̀ mú ọmọ akọ màlúù tí kò lábùkù wá fún Olúwa gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí ó ṣẹ̀.

'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 Kí ó mú ọ̀dọ́ màlúù wá síwájú Olúwa ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ ìpàdé. Kí ó gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lé e lórí, kí ó sì pa á níwájú Olúwa.

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 Kí àlùfáà tí a fi òróró yàn mú díẹ̀ nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀ akọ màlúù, kí ó sì gbé e lọ sínú àgọ́ ìpàdé.

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

6 Kí ó ti ìka bọ inú ẹ̀jẹ̀ náà kí ó sì wọ́n díẹ̀ nínú rẹ̀ ní ẹ̀ẹ̀méje níwájú Olúwa, níwájú aṣọ títa ibi mímọ́.

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 Àlùfáà yóò tún mú díẹ̀ nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀ náà sórí ìwo pẹpẹ tùràrí tó wà níwájú Olúwa nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé. Kí ó da gbogbo ẹ̀jẹ̀ akọ màlúù tókù sí ìsàlẹ̀ pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ ìpàdé.

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 Kí ó yọ gbogbo ọ̀rá tí ń bẹ nínú akọ màlúù ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ náà ọ̀rá tí ó bo nǹkan inú àti gbogbo ohun tó so mọ́ wọn.

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 Kíndìnrín méjèèjì pẹ̀lú ọ̀rá wọn tí ń bẹ lẹ́bàá ìhà àti ọ̀rá tí ó bo ẹ̀dọ̀, kí ó yọ ọ́ pẹ̀lú kíndìnrín.

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

10 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ṣe ń yọ ọ̀rá kúrò lára màlúù tí a fi rú ẹbọ àlàáfíà; àlùfáà yóò sì sun wọ́n lórí pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun.

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 Ṣùgbọ́n awọ màlúù àti gbogbo ara rẹ̀, àti ẹsẹ̀, gbogbo nǹkan inú àti ìgbẹ́ rẹ̀.

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 Èyí túmọ̀ sí pé gbogbo ìyókù akọ màlúù náà ni kí ẹ gbé jáde síta lẹ́yìn ibùdó sí ibi tí a sọ di mímọ́ níbi tí à ń da eérú sí, kí ẹ sì sun wọ́n lórí iná igi, níbi eérú tí a kójọ.

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 “‘Bí gbogbo àpapọ̀ ènìyàn Israẹli bá ṣèèṣì ṣẹ̀, tí wọ́n sì ṣe ohun tí kò yẹ kí wọ́n ṣe sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn òfin Olúwa, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé àpapọ̀ ènìyàn náà kò mọ̀ sí ọ̀rọ̀ náà, wọ́n jẹ̀bi.

‘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 Nígbà tí wọ́n bá mọ̀, gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn yóò mú akọ màlúù wá sí àgọ́ ìpàdé gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.

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 Kí àwọn àgbàgbà ìjọ Israẹli gbé ọwọ́ lórí akọ ọmọ màlúù náà níwájú Olúwa.

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 Kí àlùfáà tí a fi òróró yàn sì mú díẹ̀ lára ẹ̀jẹ̀ akọ ọmọ màlúù náà wá sínú àgọ́ ìpàdé.

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

17 Kí ó ti ìka rẹ̀ bọ inú ẹ̀jẹ̀ náà kí ó sì wọn ní ẹ̀ẹ̀méje níwájú Olúwa níbi aṣọ títa ẹnu-ọ̀nà.

‘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 Kí ó sì mú díẹ̀ nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀ náà sórí ìwo pẹpẹ tó wà níwájú Olúwa nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé. Ìyókù ẹ̀jẹ̀ náà ni kí ó dà sí ìsàlẹ̀ pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ ìpàdé.

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 Kí ó yọ gbogbo ọ̀rá kúrò lára rẹ̀, kí ó sì sun ún lórí pẹpẹ.

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

20 Kí ó sì ṣe akọ ọmọ màlúù yìí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ṣe ṣe akọ màlúù tó wà fún ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀. Báyìí ni àlùfáà yóò ṣe ṣe ètùtù fún wọn, á ó sì dáríjì wọ́n.

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 Lẹ́yìn náà ni yóò sun màlúù yìí lẹ́yìn ibùdó, yóò sì sun ún gẹ́gẹ́ bó ṣe sun màlúù àkọ́kọ́. Èyí ni ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ fún gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli.

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 “‘Bí olórí kan bá ṣèèṣì ṣẹ̀ láìmọ̀ tí ó sì ṣe ohun tí kò yẹ kí ó ṣe sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀, ó jẹ̀bi.

‘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 Nígbà tí a bá sì sọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀ fún un, ó gbọdọ̀ mú akọ ewúrẹ́ tí kò ní àbùkù wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹbọ rẹ̀.

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

24 Kí ó gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lórí ewúrẹ́ náà, kí ó sì pa á níbi tí wọ́n ti ń pa ẹran ẹbọ sísun níwájú Olúwa. Ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni.

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 Lẹ́yìn èyí, kí àlùfáà ti ìka rẹ̀ bọ inú ẹ̀jẹ̀ ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ náà, kí ó fi sí orí ìwo pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun, kí ó sì da ẹ̀jẹ̀ yòókù sí ìsàlẹ̀ pẹpẹ.

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 Kí ó sun gbogbo ọ̀rá rẹ̀ lórí pẹpẹ bí ó ṣe sun ọ̀rá ọrẹ àlàáfíà. Báyìí ní àlùfáà yóò ṣe ètùtù fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ọkùnrin náà, a ó sì dáríjì í.

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 “‘Bí ènìyàn nínú àwọn ará ìlú bá ṣèèṣì ṣẹ̀ láìmọ̀ tí ó sì ṣe ohun tí kò yẹ sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn òfin Olúwa, ó jẹ̀bi.

‘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 Nígbà tí a bá sọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀ fún un, ó gbọdọ̀ mú abo ewúrẹ́ tí kò ní àbùkù wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹbọ fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀.

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

29 Kí ó gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lórí ewúrẹ́ ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ náà, kí ó sì pa á níbi ẹbọ sísun.

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 Àlùfáà yóò sì ti ìka rẹ̀ bọ́ ẹ̀jẹ̀ náà, yóò fi sí orí ìwo pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun, kí ó sì da ìyókù ẹ̀jẹ̀ náà sí ìsàlẹ̀ pẹpẹ.

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 Kí ó yọ gbogbo ọ̀rá ẹran náà gẹ́gẹ́ bó ṣe yọ ọ̀rá ẹran fún ọrẹ àlàáfíà. Kí àlùfáà sì sun ọ̀rá yìí lórí pẹpẹ bí òórùn dídùn sí Olúwa. Báyìí ni àlùfáà yóò ṣe ètùtù fún ẹni náà, a ó sì dáríjì í.

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 “‘Bí ó bá mú ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, kí ó mú abo tí kò lábùkù.

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

33 Kí ó gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lé e lórí, kí ó sì pa á fún ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ níbi tí wọ́n ti ń pa ẹran ẹbọ sísun.

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 Àlùfáà yóò sì ti ìka rẹ̀ bọ inú ẹ̀jẹ̀ ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ náà, yóò sì fi sí orí ìwo pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun, yóò sì da ìyókù ẹ̀jẹ̀ náà sí ìsàlẹ̀ pẹpẹ.

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 Kí ó yọ gbogbo ọ̀rá rẹ̀ bó ti yọ ọ̀rá lára ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn ọrẹ àlàáfíà, àlùfáà yóò sì sun ún ní orí pẹpẹ, lórí ọrẹ tí a fi iná sun sí Olúwa. Báyìí ni àlùfáà yóò ṣe ètùtù fún ẹni náà, nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí ó sẹ̀, a ó sì dáríjì í.

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.’”
