Liber Leviticus, 4

1. Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:

1. And the LORD said to Moses,

2. “Loquere filiis Israel: Anima cum peccaverit per ignorantiam et de universis mandatis Domini, quae praecepit ut non fierent, quippiam fecerit,

2. "Say to the people of Israel, If any one sins unwittingly in any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and does any one of them,

3. si sacerdos, qui est unctus, peccaverit, delinquere faciens populum, offeret pro peccato suo vitulum immaculatum Domino sacrificium pro peccato;

3. if it is the anointed priest who sins, thus bringing guilt on the people, then let him offer for the sin which he has committed a young bull without blemish to the LORD for a sin offering.

4. et adducet illum ad ostium tabernaculi conventus coram Domino ponetque manum super caput eius et immolabit eum coram Domino.

4. He shall bring the bull to the door of the tent of meeting before the LORD, and lay his hand on the head of the bull, and kill the bull before the LORD.

5. Hauriet quoque sacerdos unctus de sanguine vituli inferens illum in tabernaculum conventus;

5. And the anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull and bring it to the tent of meeting;

6. cumque intinxerit digitum in sanguinem, asperget eo septies coram Domino contra velum sanctuarii;

6. and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle part of the blood seven times before the LORD in front of the veil of the sanctuary.

7. ponetque de eodem sanguine super cornua altaris thymiamatis gratissimi coram Domino, quod est in tabernaculo conventus; omnem autem reliquum sanguinem fundet in basim altaris holocausti in introitu tabernaculi.

7. And the priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before the LORD which is in the tent of meeting, and the rest of the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the door of the tent of meeting.

8. Et omnem adipem vituli pro peccato auferet tam eum, qui operit vitalia, quam omnem, qui vitalibus adhaeret,

8. And all the fat of the bull of the sin offering he shall take from it, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails,

9. duos renunculos et adipem, qui est super eos iuxta ilia, et reticulum iecoris, quem iuxta renunculos, auferet,

9. and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the appendage of the liver which he shall take away with the kidneys

10. sicut aufertur de vitulo hostiae pacificorum; et adolebit ea sacerdos super altare holocausti.

10. (just as these are taken from the ox of the sacrifice of the peace offerings), and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of burnt offering.

11. Pellem vero et omnes carnes cum capite et pedibus et intestinis et fimo,

11. But the skin of the bull and all its flesh, with its head, its legs, its entrails, and its dung,

12. totum vitulum efferet extra castra in locum mundum, ubi cineres effundi solent; incendetque eum super lignorum struem igne: in loco effusorum cinerum cremabitur.

12. the whole bull he shall carry forth outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and shall burn it on a fire of wood; where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.

13. Quod si omnis coetus Israel ignoraverit, et res abscondita fuerit ab oculis congregationis, feceritque quod contra mandatum Domini est et deliquerit,

13. "If the whole congregation of Israel commits a sin unwittingly and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they do any one of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done and are guilty;

14. et postea intellexerit peccatum suum, offeret congregatio vitulum pro peccato adducetque eum ad ostium tabernaculi conventus.

14. when the sin which they have committed becomes known, the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting;

15. Et ponent seniores coetus populi manus super caput eius coram Domino, immolatoque vitulo in conspectu Domini,

15. and the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bull before the LORD, and the bull shall be killed before the LORD.

16. inferet sacerdos, qui unctus est, de sanguine eius in tabernaculum conventus,

16. Then the anointed priest shall bring some of the blood of the bull to the tent of meeting,

17. tincto digito aspergens septies contra velum;

17. and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the veil.

18. ponetque de eodem sanguine in cornibus altaris, quod est coram Domino in tabernaculo conventus. Reliquum autem sanguinem fundet iuxta basim altaris holocaustorum, quod est in ostio tabernaculi conventus;

18. And he shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is in the tent of meeting before the LORD; and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the door of the tent of meeting.

19. omnemque eius adipem tollet et adolebit super altare.

19. And all its fat he shall take from it and burn upon the altar.

20. Sic faciens et de hoc vitulo quomodo fecit de vitulo pro peccato; sic faciet ei. Expiante eos sacerdote, propitius erit Dominus.

20. Thus shall he do with the bull; as he did with the bull of the sin offering, so shall he do with this; and the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.

21. Ipsum autem vitulum efferet extra castra atque comburet sicut et priorem vitulum: sacrificium pro peccato est congregationis.

21. And he shall carry forth the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull; it is the sin offering for the assembly.

22. Si peccaverit princeps et fecerit unum ex omnibus per ignorantiam, quod Domini Dei sui lege prohibetur, deliqueritque,

22. "When a ruler sins, doing unwittingly any one of all the things which the LORD his God has commanded not to be done, and is guilty,

23. aut indicatum ei fuerit peccatum suum, offeret hostiam Domino hircum de capris immaculatum

23. if the sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish,

24. ponetque manum suam super caput eius et immolabit eum in loco, ubi solet mactari holocaustum coram Domino: sacrificium pro peccato est.

24. and shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD; it is a sin offering.

25. Et tinguat sacerdos digitum in sanguine hostiae pro peccato ponetque super cornua altaris holocausti et reliquum fundet ad basim eius.

25. Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering.

26. Adipem vero adolebit supra, sicut in victimis pacificorum fieri solet; expiabitque eum a peccato eius, ac dimittetur ei.

26. And all its fat he shall burn on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; so the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin, and he shall be forgiven.

27. Quod si peccaverit anima per ignorantiam de populo terrae, ut faciat quidquam ex his, quae Domini lege prohibentur, atque delinquat,

27. "If any one of the common people sins unwittingly in doing any one of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and is guilty,

28. aut indicatum ei fuerit peccatum suum, offeret capram immaculatam;

28. when the sin which he has committed is made known to him he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has committed.

29. ponetque manum super caput hostiae pro peccato et immolabit eam in loco holocausti.

29. And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.

30. Tolletque sacerdos de sanguine in digito suo et ponet super cornua altaris holocausti et reliquum fundet ad basim eius.

30. And the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.

31. Omnem autem auferens adipem, sicut auferri solet de victimis pacificorum, adolebit super altare in odorem suavitatis Domino, expiabitque eum, et propitius erit Dominus.

31. And all its fat he shall remove, as the fat is removed from the peace offerings, and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a pleasing odor to the LORD; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven.

32. Sin autem de ovibus obtulerit victimam pro peccato, adducet agnam immaculatam;

32. "If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish,

33. ponet manum super caput eius et immolabit eam in loco, ubi solent holocaustorum caedi hostiae.

33. and lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.

34. Sumetque sacerdos de sanguine eius digito suo et ponens super cornua altaris holocausti reliquum fundet ad basim eius.

34. Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.

35. Omnem quoque auferens adipem, sicut auferri solet adeps agni, qui immolatur pro pacificis, cremabit in altari super incensis Domini; expiabitque eum et peccatum eius, et dimittetur illi.

35. And all its fat he shall remove as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings, and the priest shall burn it on the altar, upon the offerings by fire to the LORD; and the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin which he has committed, and he shall be forgiven.
