< اَللَّاوِيِّينَ 16 >

وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى بَعْدَ مَوْتِ ٱبْنَيْ هَارُونَ عِنْدَمَا ٱقْتَرَبَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَمَاتَا. ١ 1
After the two sons of Aaron died because they burned incense to Yahweh [in a manner that was contrary to what Yahweh commanded], Yahweh spoke to Moses/me.
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «كَلِّمْ هَارُونَ أَخَاكَ أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَ كُلَّ وَقْتٍ إِلَى ٱلْقُدْسِ دَاخِلَ ٱلْحِجَابِ أَمَامَ ٱلْغِطَاءِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلتَّابُوتِ لِئَلَّا يَمُوتَ، لِأَنِّي فِي ٱلسَّحَابِ أَتَرَاءَى عَلَى ٱلْغِطَاءِ. ٢ 2
He said to him/me, “Warn your [older] brother Aaron that he must not enter the Very Holy Place inside the curtain that is in the Sacred Tent whenever he wants to, because the cover of the sacred chest is there. That is the place where the priest (makes atonement for/requests me to forgive) sins. I am present in the cloud that is over the cover of the sacred chest. If Aaron goes in that room when it is not the proper time, he will die!
بِهَذَا يَدْخُلُ هَارُونُ إِلَى ٱلْقُدْسِ: بِثَوْرِ ٱبْنِ بَقَرٍ لِذَبِيحَةِ خَطِيَّةٍ، وَكَبْشٍ لِمُحْرَقَةٍ. ٣ 3
“When Aaron enters the Sacred Tent area, he must bring a bull that [will be killed] to become an offering/sacrifice for sins, and a ram [to be killed] to be an offering that will be completely burned [on the altar].
يَلْبَسُ قَمِيصَ كَتَّانٍ مُقَدَّسًا، وَتَكُونُ سَرَاوِيلُ كَتَّانٍ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ، وَيَتَنَطَّقُ بِمِنْطَقَةِ كَتَّانٍ، وَيَتَعَمَّمُ بِعِمَامَةِ كَتَّانٍ. إِنَّهَا ثِيَابٌ مُقَدَّسَةٌ. فَيَرْحَضُ جَسَدَهُ بِمَاءٍ وَيَلْبَسُهَا. ٤ 4
Then he must bathe his whole body, and put on the linen underwear/undershorts and the linen gown. He must tie the linen sash/waistbands around his waist and wrap the turban around his head. Those are his sacred garments.
وَمِنْ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَأْخُذُ تَيْسَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلْمَعْزِ لِذَبِيحَةِ خَطِيَّةٍ، وَكَبْشًا وَاحِدًا لِمُحْرَقَةٍ. ٥ 5
The Israeli people must then bring to him two male goats [to be killed] as an offering/sacrifice for sin, and a ram to be [killed and] burned completely [on the altar].
وَيُقَرِّبُ هَارُونُ ثَوْرَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ ٱلَّذِي لَهُ، وَيُكَفِّرُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَعَنْ بَيْتِهِ. ٦ 6
“Aaron must offer the bull [to me] to be a sacrifice in order that (I will forgive his sins and the sins of his family/his sins and the sins of his family will be forgiven).
وَيَأْخُذُ ٱلتَّيْسَيْنِ وَيُوقِفُهُمَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لَدَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ. ٧ 7
Then he must bring the two male goats to me at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
وَيُلْقِي هَارُونُ عَلَى ٱلتَّيْسَيْنِ قُرْعَتَيْنِ: قُرْعَةً لِلرَّبِّ وَقُرْعَةً لِعَزَازِيلَ. ٨ 8
He must (cast lots/throw down stones that have been marked) to determine which goat will be [sacrificed] to me, and which will be the goat that will be set free.
وَيُقَرِّبُ هَارُونُ ٱلتَّيْسَ ٱلَّذِي خَرَجَتْ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْقُرْعَةُ لِلرَّبِّ وَيَعْمَلُهُ ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيَّةٍ. ٩ 9
Aaron must bring to me the goat that was chosen to be sacrificed. It will be an offering for the people’s sins.
وَأَمَّا ٱلتَّيْسُ ٱلَّذِي خَرَجَتْ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْقُرْعَةُ لِعَزَازِيلَ فَيُوقَفُ حَيًّا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِيُكَفِّرَ عَنْهُ لِيُرْسِلَهُ إِلَى عَزَازِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. ١٠ 10
Aaron must also bring to me the other goat, but it is not to be killed. It will be freed while it is still alive. As a result of Aaron sending it into the desert, the people’s sins will be forgiven.
«وَيُقَدِّمُ هَارُونُ ثَوْرَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ ٱلَّذِي لَهُ وَيُكَفِّرُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَعَنْ بَيْتِهِ، وَيَذْبَحُ ثَوْرَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ ٱلَّذِي لَهُ، ١١ 11
“Then Aaron must bring the young bull to me, to be an offering/sacrifice for himself and for his family. He must slaughter that bull to be an offering for their sins, [and he must drain the blood into a basin].
وَيَأْخُذُ مِلْءَ ٱلْمَجْمَرَةِ جَمْرَ نَارٍ عَنِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَمِلْءَ رَاحَتَيْهِ بَخُورًا عَطِرًا دَقِيقًا، وَيَدْخُلُ بِهِمَا إِلَى دَاخِلِ ٱلْحِجَابِ ١٢ 12
Then he must take some burning coals from the [bronze] altar and put them in the incense burner. Then he must fill his hands with fragrant finely-ground incense. Then he must take the incense and the incense burner inside the curtain into the Very Holy Place [of the Sacred Tent].
وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلْبَخُورَ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَتُغَشِّي سَحَابَةُ ٱلْبَخُورِ ٱلْغِطَاءَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلشَّهَادَةِ فَلَا يَمُوتُ. ١٣ 13
There he must put the incense on the burning coals, with the result that a cloud of burning incense will rise up over the lid of the sacred chest. If he obeys these instructions, he will not die [like Korah’s two sons did because of offering incense incorrectly] (OR, [because of being in God’s presence]).
ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ مِنْ دَمِ ٱلثَّوْرِ وَيَنْضِحُ بِإِصْبَعِهِ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْغِطَاءِ إِلَى ٱلشَّرْقِ. وَقُدَّامَ ٱلْغِطَاءِ يَنْضِحُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ مِنَ ٱلدَّمِ بِإِصْبَعِهِ. ١٤ 14
Then he must dip his finger into [the basin] and sprinkle some blood on the lid of the sacred chest, and also sprinkle some blood seven times against the front of the chest.
«ثُمَّ يَذْبَحُ تَيْسَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ ٱلَّذِي لِلشَّعْبِ، وَيَدْخُلُ بِدَمِهِ إِلَى دَاخِلِ ٱلْحِجَابِ. وَيَفْعَلُ بِدَمِهِ كَمَا فَعَلَ بِدَمِ ٱلثَّوْرِ: يَنْضِحُهُ عَلَى ٱلْغِطَاءِ وَقُدَّامَ ٱلْغِطَاءِ، ١٥ 15
[“Aaron must then go outside the Sacred Tent] and slaughter the goat to be an offering for the sins of the people. Then he must bring its blood into the Very Holy Place behind the curtain. There he must sprinkle [some of] that blood on the lid of the sacred chest and against the front of the chest, like he did with the bull’s blood.
فَيُكَفِّرُ عَنِ ٱلْقُدْسِ مِنْ نَجَاسَاتِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمِنْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ مَعَ كُلِّ خَطَايَاهُمْ. وَهَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ لِخَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ ٱلْقَائِمَةِ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي وَسَطِ نَجَاسَاتِهِمْ. ١٦ 16
By doing that, he will purify the Very Holy Place. And he must sprinkle more of the blood on the Sacred Tent, because the tent is in the midst of the camp of the Israeli people who have become unacceptable to me [because of their sins].
وَلَا يَكُنْ إِنْسَانٌ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ مِنْ دُخُولِهِ لِلتَّكْفِيرِ فِي ٱلْقُدْسِ إِلَى خُرُوجِهِ، فَيُكَفِّرُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَعَنْ بَيْتِهِ وَعَنْ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٧ 17
When Aaron goes into the Very Holy Place [in the Sacred Tent] to purify it, no one else is permitted to enter [the other part of] the Sacred Tent. Only after Aaron has performed rituals to enable me to forgive him and his family, and all the Israeli people, is any priest permitted to enter the Sacred Tent.
ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ ٱلَّذِي أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَيُكَفِّرُ عَنْهُ. يَأْخُذُ مِنْ دَمِ ٱلثَّوْرِ وَمِنْ دَمِ ٱلتَّيْسِ وَيَجْعَلُ عَلَى قُرُونِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ مُسْتَدِيرًا. ١٨ 18
“Then Aaron must go outside the tent to purify my altar. He must do this by smearing some of the blood from the bull and some of the blood from the goat on each of the projections at the corners of the altar.
وَيَنْضِحُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلدَّمِ بِإِصْبَعِهِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَيُطَهِّرُهُ وَيُقَدِّسُهُ مِنْ نَجَاسَاتِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٩ 19
Then Aaron must dip his finger into the [basin of] blood and sprinkle some of the blood over the altar seven times. By doing that, he will cleanse it from being unholy [because of the sins] of the Israeli people, and it will become holy again.
«وَمَتَى فَرَغَ مِنَ ٱلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنِ ٱلْقُدْسِ وَعَنْ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ وَعَنِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ، يُقَدِّمُ ٱلتَّيْسَ ٱلْحَيَّ. ٢٠ 20
“When Aaron has finished purifying the Very Holy Place [inside the Sacred Tent] and all of the Sacred Tent and the altar, he must bring the goat that was chosen to be set free.
وَيَضَعُ هَارُونُ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلتَّيْسِ ٱلْحَيِّ وَيُقِرُّ عَلَيْهِ بِكُلِّ ذُنُوبِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكُلِّ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ مَعَ كُلِّ خَطَايَاهُمْ، وَيَجْعَلُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلتَّيْسِ، وَيُرْسِلُهُ بِيَدِ مَنْ يُلَاقِيهِ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، ٢١ 21
He must put both of his hands on the head of the goat and confess all the sins [DOU] of the Israeli people. By doing that, he will put [the guilt of] their sins on the head of the goat. Then he must give the goat to a man who is chosen, and that man will send the goat out into the desert.
لِيَحْمِلَ ٱلتَّيْسُ عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ ذُنُوبِهِمْ إِلَى أَرْضٍ مُقْفِرَةٍ، فَيُطْلِقُ ٱلتَّيْسَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. ٢٢ 22
[It is as though] the goat will carry away into the desert [the guilt for] the sins of all the people.
ثُمَّ يَدْخُلُ هَارُونُ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ وَيَخْلَعُ ثِيَابَ ٱلْكَتَّانِ ٱلَّتِي لَبِسَهَا عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِ إِلَى ٱلْقُدْسِ وَيَضَعُهَا هُنَاكَ. ٢٣ 23
“When Aaron approaches the Sacred Tent, he must take off the linen clothes that he wore when he [previously] entered the Very Holy Place, and he must leave those clothes there.
وَيَرْحَضُ جَسَدَهُ بِمَاءٍ فِي مَكَانٍ مُقَدَّسٍ، ثُمَّ يَلْبَسُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَخْرُجُ وَيَعْمَلُ مُحْرَقَتَهُ وَمُحْرَقَةَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَيُكَفِّرُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَعَنِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. ٢٤ 24
Then he must bathe in a sacred place, put on his regular/ordinary clothes, and sacrifice the animals that will be burned completely on the altar for his own sins and for the sins of the Israeli people. By doing that he will enable me to forgive him and them.
وَشَحْمُ ذَبِيحَةِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ يُوقِدُهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ. ٢٥ 25
He must also burn on the altar all the fat of the bull and the goat that were sacrificed.
وَٱلَّذِي أَطْلَقَ ٱلتَّيْسَ إِلَى عَزَازِيلَ يَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَرْحَضُ جَسَدَهُ بِمَاءٍ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَدْخُلُ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. ٢٦ 26
“The man who was chosen to send the other goat into the desert and free it there must afterwards wash his clothes and bathe. Then he may return to the camp.
وَثَوْرُ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ وَتَيْسُ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ ٱللَّذَانِ أُتِيَ بِدَمِهِمَا لِلتَّكْفِيرِ فِي ٱلْقُدْسِ يُخْرِجُهُمَا إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، وَيُحْرِقُونَ بِٱلنَّارِ جِلْدَيْهِمَا وَلَحْمَهُمَا وَفَرْثَهُمَا. ٢٧ 27
The carcasses of the bull and the goat that were slaughtered to be an offering/sacrifice for the people’s sins, whose blood was taken inside the Very Holy Place to enable Yahweh to forgive the Israeli people, must be carried outside the camp and burned. The hides/skins of the animals, the inner organs, and the dung must also be burned.
وَٱلَّذِي يُحْرِقُهُمَا يَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَرْحَضُ جَسَدَهُ بِمَاءٍ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَدْخُلُ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. ٢٨ 28
The man who burns those things must then wash his clothes and bathe before he returns to the camp.
«وَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ فَرِيضَةً دَهْرِيَّةً، أَنَّكُمْ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ فِي عَاشِرِ ٱلشَّهْرِ تُذَلِّلُونَ نُفُوسَكُمْ، وَكُلَّ عَمَلٍ لَا تَعْمَلُونَ: ٱلْوَطَنِيُّ وَٱلْغَرِيبُ ٱلنَّازِلُ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ. ٢٩ 29
“On (October/the month after the dry season ends), on the day that I have appointed, you all must (fast/abstain from eating food) and not do any work. This is a rule/law that will never end. It must be obeyed by you people who have been Israelis all your lives, and also by foreigners who are living among you.
لِأَنَّهُ فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ يُكَفِّرُ عَنْكُمْ لِتَطْهِيرِكُمْ. مِنْ جَمِيعِ خَطَايَاكُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ تَطْهُرُونَ. ٣٠ 30
On that day, Aaron will perform rituals to enable me to forgive you all, and then I will cleanse/free you all from [the guilt of] all your sins and you will become acceptable to me.
سَبْتُ عُطْلَةٍ هُوَ لَكُمْ، وَتُذَلِّلُونَ نُفُوسَكُمْ فَرِيضَةً دَهْرِيَّةً. ٣١ 31
That will be a day for you to rest and not do any work, like the Sabbath days, and you must (fast/abstain from eating food) all that day. That is a permanent command/law for you all to obey.
وَيُكَفِّرُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلَّذِي يَمْسَحُهُ، وَٱلَّذِي يَمْلَأُ يَدَهُ لِلْكَهَانَةِ عِوَضًا عَنْ أَبِيهِ. يَلْبَسُ ثِيَابَ ٱلْكَتَّانِ، ٱلثِّيَابَ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةَ، ٣٢ 32
In future years, [after Aaron has died], this ritual/ceremony to enable me to forgive you all [DOU] will be performed by the Supreme Priest who is anointed [with olive oil] and appointed to serve instead of his ancestor Aaron. He must put on the sacred clothes made of linen
وَيُكَفِّرُ عَنْ مَقْدِسِ ٱلْقُدْسِ. وَعَنْ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ وَٱلْمَذْبَحِ يُكَفِّرُ. وَعَنِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَكُلِّ شَعْبِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ يُكَفِّرُ. ٣٣ 33
and offer sacrifices to purify the Very Holy Place, all of the Sacred Tent, the altar, the priests, and all the Israel people [like Aaron did].
وَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ لَكُمْ فَرِيضَةً دَهْرِيَّةً لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ خَطَايَاهُمْ مَرَّةً فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ». فَفَعَلَ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى. ٣٤ 34
This will be a permanent command/law for you to obey once every year, to enable me to forgive you Israeli people for the sins that you have committed.” Moses/I obeyed all those instructions/commands that Yahweh had given to him/me.
