1 And if anyone does wrong by saying nothing when he is put under oath as a witness of something he has seen or had knowledge of, then he will be responsible:
2 If anyone becomes unclean through touching unconsciously some unclean thing, such as the dead body of an unclean beast or of unclean cattle or of any unclean animal which goes flat on the earth, he will be responsible:
3 Or if he becomes unclean through touching unconsciously any unclean thing of man, whatever it may be, when it is made clear to him he will be responsible:
4 Or if anyone, without thought, takes an oath to do evil or to do good, whatever he says without thought, with an oath, having no knowledge of what he is doing; when it becomes clear to him, he will be responsible for any of these things.
5 And whoever is responsible for any such sin, let him make a statement openly of his wrongdoing;
6 And take to the Lord the offering for the wrong which he has done, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin-offering, and the priest will take away his sin.
7 And if he has not money enough for a lamb, then let him give, for his offering to the Lord, two doves or two young pigeons; one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering.
8 And let him take them to the priest, who will first give the sin-offering, twisting off its head from its neck, but not cutting it in two;
9 And he is to put drops of the blood of the offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar; it is a sin-offering.
10 And the second is for a burned offering, in agreement with the law; and the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness.
11 But if he has not enough money for two doves or two young pigeons, then let him give, for the sin he has done, the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal, for a sin-offering; let him put no oil on it, and no perfume, for it is a sin-offering.
12 And let him come to the priest with it, and the priest will take some of it in his hand, to be burned on the altar as a sign, among the offerings of the Lord made by fire: it is a sin-offering.
13 And the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness: and the rest of the offering will be the priest's, in the same way as the meal offering.
14 And the Lord said to Moses,
15 If anyone is untrue, sinning in error in connection with the holy things of the Lord, let him take his offering to the Lord, a male sheep from the flock, without any mark, of the value fixed by you in silver by shekels, by the scale of the holy place.
16 And he is to make payment to the priest for what he has done wrong in relation to the holy thing, together with a fifth part of its value in addition; and the priest will take away his sin by the sheep of his offering, and he will have forgiveness.
17 And if anyone does wrong, and does any of the things which the Lord has given orders are not to be done, though he has no knowledge of it, still he is in the wrong and he is responsible.
18 Let him come to the priest with a sheep, a male without any mark out of the flock, of the value fixed by you, as an offering for his error; and the priest will take away the sin which he did in error, and he will have forgiveness.
19 It is an offering for his error: he is certainly responsible before the Lord.
20 \6:1\And the Lord said to Moses,
21 \6:2\If anyone does wrong, and is untrue to the Lord, acting falsely to his neighbour in connection with something put in his care, or something given for a debt, or has taken away anything by force, or has been cruel to his neighbour,
22 \6:3\Or has taken a false oath about the loss of something which he has come across by chance; if a man has done any of these evil things,
23 \6:4\Causing sin to come on him, then he will have to give back the thing he took by force or got by cruel acts, or the goods which were put in his care or the thing he came on by chance,
24 \6:5\Or anything about which he took a false oath; he will have to give it all back, with the addition of a fifth of its value, to him whose property it is, when he has been judged to be in the wrong.
25 \6:6\Then let him take to the Lord the offering for his wrongdoing; giving to the priest for his offering, a male sheep from the flock, without any mark, of the value fixed by you:
26 \6:7\And the priest will take away his sin from before the Lord, and he will have forgiveness for whatever crime he has done
1 Lorsque quelqu'un étant témoin, après avoir entendu la parole du serment, aura péché en ne déclarant pas ce qu'il a vu ou ce qu'il sait, il portera son iniquité.
2 Ou lorsque quelqu'un, à son insu, aura touché une chose souillée, soit le cadavre d'un animal impur, soit le cadavre d'une bête sauvage impure, soit le cadavre d'un reptile impur, il sera souillé et coupable.
3 Ou lorsque, ne le sachant pas ou le sachant, il touchera une souillure humaine, de quelque manière qu'il se soit souillé, il sera coupable.
4 Ou lorsque quelqu'un, parlant légèrement des lèvres, aura juré de faire du mal ou du bien, selon tout ce que l'homme peut jurer à la légère, qu'il ne s'en aperçoive pas ou qu'il le sache, il sera coupable sur l'un de ces cas.
5 Quand donc quelqu'un sera coupable de l'une de ces choses, il confessera ce en quoi il a péché,
6 Et il amènera à l'Éternel son sacrifice pour le délit, pour le péché qu'il a commis, une femelle de menu bétail, une brebis ou une chèvre, en sacrifice pour le péché; et le sacrificateur fera pour lui l'expiation de son péché.
7 Et s'il n'a pas le moyen de se procurer une brebis ou une chèvre, il apportera à l'Éternel, en sacrifice de délit, pour son péché, deux tourterelles, ou deux pigeonneaux; l'un en sacrifice pour le péché, et l'autre en holocauste.
8 Il les apportera au sacrificateur, qui offrira premièrement celui qui est pour le sacrifice de péché; il lui brisera la tête près de la nuque, sans la séparer;
9 Ensuite il fera aspersion, sur un côté de l'autel, du sang du sacrifice pour le péché, et le reste du sang sera exprimé au pied de l'autel; c'est un sacrifice pour le péché.
10 Il fera de l'autre oiseau un holocauste, selon l'ordonnance. Et ainsi le sacrificateur fera pour cet homme l'expiation du péché qu'il a commis, et il lui sera pardonné.
11 S'il n'a pas les moyens de se procurer deux tourterelles ou deux pigeonneaux, il apportera pour son offrande, pour le péché qu'il a commis, le dixième d'un épha de fine farine, comme sacrifice pour le péché; il ne mettra pas de l'huile dessus, il n'y ajoutera point d'encens; car c'est un sacrifice pour le péché.
12 Il l'apportera au sacrificateur, et le sacrificateur en prendra une poignée en mémorial, et la fera fumer sur l'autel, à la manière des sacrifices faits par le feu à l'Éternel; c'est un sacrifice pour le péché.
13 Ainsi le sacrificateur fera expiation pour cet homme, pour le péché qu'il aura commis à l'égard de l'une de ces choses, et il lui sera pardonné; et le reste sera pour le sacrificateur, comme dans le cas de l'oblation.
14 L'Éternel parla encore à Moïse, en disant:
15 Lorsque quelqu'un commettra une prévarication et péchera par erreur, en retenant des choses consacrées à l'Éternel, il amènera à l'Éternel en sacrifice pour le délit, un bélier sans défaut, pris du troupeau, selon ton estimation en sicles d'argent, selon le sicle du sanctuaire, en sacrifice pour le délit.
16 Il restituera ce en quoi il aura péché à l'égard du sanctuaire, en y ajoutant le cinquième de sa valeur; et il le donnera au sacrificateur. Et le sacrificateur fera expiation pour cet homme avec le bélier du sacrifice pour le délit, et il lui sera pardonné.
17 Et lorsque quelqu'un péchera, en faisant, sans le savoir, contre l'un des commandements de l'Éternel, ce qui ne doit pas se faire, il sera coupable et portera son iniquité.
18 Il amènera donc au sacrificateur, en sacrifice pour le délit, un bélier sans défaut, pris du troupeau, d'après ton estimation; et le sacrificateur fera pour lui expiation de la faute qu'il a commise par erreur, et sans le savoir, et il lui sera pardonné.
19 C'est un sacrifice pour le délit: il s'est rendu coupable envers l'Éternel.
