Leviticus 4

1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,

上主訓示梅瑟說：

2 “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.

你告訴以色列子民說：若有人不慎，誤犯了上主的禁令，做了一件不許做的事：為大司祭贖罪，

3 '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.

如果是一位受傅的司祭犯了罪，連累了人民，他為這罪，應獻一頭無瑕的公牛贖，作贖罪祭。

4 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].

將牛牽到會幕門口，到上主前，先按手在牛頭上，在上主前宰了。

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

然後受傅的司祭取些牛血，帶進會幕，

6 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].

將手指浸在牲血裏，在上主面前向聖所帳幔灑血七次；

7 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.

再將一些牲血，塗在會幕內上主面前的香壇四角上；其餘的牛血都應倒在會幕門口全幡祭壇腳旁。

8 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—

以後取出作贖罪的公牛贖所有的脂肪：即遮蓋內臟的脂肪，貼再內臟上所有的脂肪，

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

左右兩腎和兩腎上靠腰部的脂肪以及同兩腎一起取出的肝葉，

10 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].

全照從和平祭犧牲的公牛所取出的一樣；司祭應將這一切放在全幡祭上焚燒。

11 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,

至於公牛贖的皮，所有的肉、頭、腿、內臟和糞，

12 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.

即整個公牛贖，應運到營外倒壇灰的清潔地方，放再木柴上用火焚燒：即在倒壇灰的地方將牠燃燒。為全會眾贖罪。

13 ‘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.

如果是全以色列會眾誤犯了過失，而會眾又沒有發覺做了上主戒命所不許做的事，因而有罪。

14 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.

當他們一發覺自己所犯的罪，會眾就應獻一頭公牛犢作贖罪祭，牽到會幕前；

15 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].

會眾的長老在上主前，按手在牛頭上，在上主前宰；

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

然後受傅的司祭取些牛血帶進會幕，

17 ‘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].

將手指浸在牲血裏，在上主面前向帳幔灑血七次。

18 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.

再將一些牲血塗在會幕內上主面前的祭壇四角上；其餘的血，都應倒在會幕門口的全燔祭壇腳旁。

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

至於脂肪應完全取出，放在祭壇上焚燒。

20 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}.

處置這牛，如處置贖罪祭的公牛犢一樣處置。司祭如此為他們贖了罪，他們方可獲得罪赦。

21 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.

以後應將這公牛犢運到營外焚燒，如焚燒上述的公牛犢一樣：這是為會眾的贖罪祭。為首長贖罪。

22 ‘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.

如果是一位首長犯了罪，不慎做了上主他的天主的誡命所不許做的事，因而有罪。

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

當他一發覺自己犯了罪，就奉獻一隻無瑕的公山羊做祭品，

24 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.

先按手在羊頭上，後在宰殺全燔祭犧牲的地方，在上主前將牠宰了：這是贖罪祭。

25 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.

然後司祭用手指蘸些贖罪祭犧牲的血，塗在全燔祭祭壇四角上；其餘的血，都應倒在會幕門口的全燔祭壇腳旁。

26 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.

所有的脂肪，如同和平祭犧牲的脂肪一樣，都應放在祭壇上焚燒。司祭如此為他的罪行了贖罪禮，他方可穫得罪赦。為平民贖罪

27 ‘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.

如果是一個平民不慎犯了罪，做了上主的誡命所不許做的事，因而有罪。

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

當他一發覺自己犯了罪，就應為自己所犯的罪，奉獻一隻無瑕的母山羊作祭品；

29 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].

先按手在贖罪祭犧牲的頭上，後在宰殺全燔祭犧牲的地方，將贖罪祭犧牲宰了。

30 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.

然後司祭用手蘸些牲血，塗在全燔祭壇四角上；其餘的血，都應倒在祭壇腳旁。

31 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.

所有的脂肪像和平祭犧牲一樣，都應取出；司祭應將這一切放在祭台上焚燒，化為中悅上主的馨香。司祭如此為他贖了罪，他方可獲得罪赦。

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

如果是奉獻一隻小綿羊做為贖罪祭犧牲，應獻一隻無瑕的母羊。

33 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].

先按手在贖罪祭犧牲的頭上，後在宰殺全燔祭犧牲的地方宰了，作為贖罪祭。

34 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.

司祭用手指蘸些贖罪祭犧牲的血，塗在全燔祭壇四角上；其餘的血，都應倒在祭壇腳旁。

35 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.’”

所有的脂肪都應取出，有如由和平祭犧牲的小羊所取出的脂肪一樣。司祭應將這一切放在祭壇上，與獻給上主的火祭一同焚燒。司祭如此為他的罪行了贖罪禮，他方可獲得罪赦。
