Liber Leviticus, 5

1. Si peccaverit anima et audiverit vocem iurantis testisque fuerit, quod aut ipse vidit aut comperit, si non indicaverit, iniquitatem portabit;

1. "If any one sins in that he hears a public adjuration to testify and though he is a witness, whether he has seen or come to know the matter, yet does not speak, he shall bear his iniquity.

2. vel si anima tetigerit aliquid immundum, sive cadaver bestiae sit aut iumenti vel reptilis, et absconditum fuerit ab eo, ipse immundus et reus erit;

2. Or if any one touches an unclean thing, whether the carcass of an unclean beast or a carcass of unclean cattle or a carcass of unclean swarming things, and it is hidden from him, and he has become unclean, he shall be guilty.

3. aut si tetigerit quidquam de immunditia hominis iuxta omnem impuritatem, qua pollui solet, absconditumque fuerit ab eo, sed ipse cognoverit postea, subiacebit delicto;

3. Or if he touches human uncleanness, of whatever sort the uncleanness may be with which one becomes unclean, and it is hidden from him, when he comes to know it he shall be guilty.

4. aut si anima temere iuraverit et protulerit labiis suis, ut vel male quid faceret vel bene iuxta omnia, quae homines temere iurant, absconditumque fuerit ab eo, sed ipse postea intellexerit, delicto subiacebit;

4. Or if any one utters with his lips a rash oath to do evil or to do good, any sort of rash oath that men swear, and it is hidden from him, when he comes to know it he shall in any of these be guilty.

5. si ergo reus factus fuerit uno ex istis, confiteatur peccatum suum

5. When a man is guilty in any of these, he shall confess the sin he has committed,

6. et offerat Domino sacrificium delicti pro peccato suo agnam de gregibus sive capram ut sacrificium pro peccato; expiabitque eum sacerdos a peccato eius.

6. and he shall bring his guilt offering to the LORD for the sin which he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin.

7. Sin autem non potuerit offerre pecus, offerat ut sacrificium pro delicto duos turtures vel duos pullos columbarum Domino: unum in sacrificium pro peccato et alterum in holocaustum;

7. "But if he cannot afford a lamb, then he shall bring, as his guilt offering to the LORD for the sin which he has committed, two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.

8. dabitque eos sacerdoti, qui primum offerens ut sacrificium pro peccato retorquebit caput eius ad pennulas, ita ut collo haereat et non penitus abrumpatur;

8. He shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer first the one for the sin offering; he shall wring its head from its neck, but shall not sever it,

9. et asperget de sanguine eius parietem altaris; quidquid autem reliquum fuerit, faciet destillare ad fundamentum eius: sacrificium pro peccato est.

9. and he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, while the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar; it is a sin offering.

10. Alterum vero adolebit holocaustum, ut fieri solet; expiabitque eum sacerdos a peccato eius, et dimittetur ei.

10. Then he shall offer the second for a burnt offering according to the ordinance; and the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin which he has committed, and he shall be forgiven.

11. Quod si non quiverit manus eius offerre duos turtures aut duos pullos columbarum, offeret pro peccato suo similae partem ephi decimam in sacrificium pro peccato; non mittet in eam oleum, nec turis aliquid imponet, quia sacrificium pro peccato est.

11. "But if he cannot afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then he shall bring, as his offering for the sin which he has committed, a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, and shall put no frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.

12. Tradetque eam sacerdoti, qui, plenum ex toto pugillum in memoriale hauriens, cremabit in altari super incensis Domini: sacrificium pro peccato est.

12. And he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take a handful of it as its memorial portion and burn this on the altar, upon the offerings by fire to the LORD; it is a sin offering.

13. Et expiabit eum sacerdos et peccatum eius in uno ex his casibus, et propitius erit Dominus. Reliquam vero partem sacerdos habebit sicut in oblatione similae”.

13. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin which he has committed in any one of these things, and he shall be forgiven. And the remainder shall be for the priest, as in the cereal offering."

14. Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:

14. The LORD said to Moses,

15. “Anima, si praevaricans per errorem in his, quae Domino sunt sanctificata, peccaverit, offeret sacrificium pro delicto arietem immaculatum de gregibus iuxta aestimationem argenti siclorum pondere sanctuarii in paenitentiam;

15. "If any one commits a breach of faith and sins unwittingly in any of the holy things of the LORD, he shall bring, as his guilt offering to the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock, valued by you in shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary; it is a guilt offering.

16. ipsumque, quod intulit damni, restituet et quintam partem ponet supra tradens sacerdoti, qui expiabit eum offerens arietem, et dimittetur ei.

16. He shall also make restitution for what he has done amiss in the holy thing, and shall add a fifth to it and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and he shall be forgiven.

17. Anima, si peccaverit per ignorantiam feceritque unum ex his, quae Domini lege prohibentur, et peccati rea portaverit iniquitatem suam,

17. "If any one sins, doing any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, though he does not know it, yet he is guilty and shall bear his iniquity.

18. offeret arietem immaculatum de gregibus iuxta aestimationem sacerdoti, qui expiabit eum ab eo, quod nesciens fecerit, et dimittetur ei:

18. He shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish out of the flock, valued by you at the price for a guilt offering, and the priest shall make atonement for him for the error which he committed unwittingly, and he shall be forgiven.

19. sacrificium pro delicto est, delinquens deliquit in Dominum”.

19. It is a guilt offering; he is guilty before the LORD."

20. Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:

20.

21. “Anima, quae peccaverit et, contempto Domino, negaverit proximo suo depositum, quod fidei eius creditum fuerat, vel vi aliquid extorserit aut calumniam fecerit,

21.

22. sive rem perditam invenerit et infitians insuper peierarit in uno ex omnibus, in quibus peccare solent homines,

22.

23. si quis sic peccaverit et deliquerit, reddet omnia, quae per rapinam vel calumniam abstulerit vel deposita retinuerit vel perdita invenerit

23.

24. vel de quibus peierarit, et restituet integra et quintam insuper addet partem domino, cui damnum intulerat, in die sacrificii pro delicto.

24.

25. Sacrificium pro delicto offeret Domino: arietem immaculatum de grege iuxta aestimationem;

25.

26. qui expiabit eum coram Domino, et dimittetur illi pro singulis, quae faciendo peccaverit”.
