Левит 5
New Russian Translation
5 Если человек согрешит, промолчав, когда его приведут к присяге, чтобы свидетельствовать о том, что он видел или знал, – он подлежит наказанию.
2 Или если человек прикоснется к нечистому: к трупам нечистых диких зверей, или нечистого скота, или нечистых пресмыкающихся – даже если не заметит этого, – он станет нечистым и будет виновен.
3 Или если он прикоснется к человеческой нечистоте – любой нечистоте, которая его осквернит – даже если не заметит этого, то когда поймет, он будет виновен.
4 Или если человек произносит опрометчивую клятву сделать что-либо хорошее или злое, о чем только можно безрассудно поклясться – то даже если он не осознает этого, когда поймет, он будет виновен.
5 Если кто-то виновен в этом, пусть открыто признает, в чем согрешил, 6 и в расплату за свой грех приведет к Господу для жертвы за грех самку из отары – овцу или козу. Тогда священник совершит для него отпущение за грех.
7 Если ему не по средствам принести овцу, пусть принесет Господу двух горлиц или двух молодых голубей как расплату за свой грех: одного в жертву за грех, а другого в жертву всесожжения. 8 Пусть он отдаст их священнику, который сначала принесет жертву за грех. Он свернет птице голову, не отрывая ее до конца, 9 и окропит кровью жертвы за грех сторону жертвенника. Остальную кровь нужно выцедить к основанию жертвенника. Это – жертва за грех. 10 Потом священник принесет другую птицу в жертву всесожжения, как велит обычай, и совершит для него отпущение за грех, который он совершил, и будет прощен.
11 Если ему не по средствам принести двух горлиц или двух молодых голубей, он должен принести за свой проступок десятую часть ефы[a] лучшей муки в жертву за грех. Пусть он не льет на муку масло и не кладет сверху ладана, ведь это – жертва за грех. 12 Пусть он принесет ее к священнику, который возьмет из нее пригоршню как памятную часть и сожжет на жертвеннике вместе с огненными жертвами Господу. Это – жертва за грех. 13 Так священник совершит для него отпущение за любой из грехов, которыми он согрешил, и он будет прощен. Остаток жертвы принадлежит священнику, как в случае с хлебным приношением».
Жертва повинности
14 Господь сказал Моисею:
15 – Если человек совершит проступок, согрешив по неведению против какой-либо из Господних святынь, он должен привести к Господу в расплату барана из отары без изъяна, имеющего соответствующую стоимость в серебре, по установленной мере святилища[b]. Это жертва повинности. 16 Он должен возместить за святыню, против которой согрешил, добавить к этому пятую часть ее стоимости и отдать священнику, который совершит для него отпущение бараном жертвы повинности, и он будет прощен.
17 Если человек согрешит и сделает то, что запрещено в какой-либо из Господних заповедей, даже если он не знает этого, он виновен и подлежит наказанию. 18 Он должен привести к священнику барана из отары, должной стоимости и без изъяна для жертвы повинности. Тогда священник совершит для него отпущение за проступок, который он совершил по неведению, и он будет прощен. 19 Это жертва повинности – человек провинился перед Господом.
Leviticus 5
New International Version
5 “‘If anyone sins because they do not speak up when they hear a public charge to testify(A) regarding something they have seen or learned about, they will be held responsible.(B)
2 “‘If anyone becomes aware that they are guilty—if they unwittingly touch anything ceremonially unclean (whether the carcass of an unclean animal, wild or domestic, or of any unclean creature that moves along the ground)(C) and they are unaware that they have become unclean,(D) but then they come to realize their guilt; 3 or if they touch human uncleanness(E) (anything that would make them unclean)(F) even though they are unaware of it, but then they learn of it and realize their guilt; 4 or if anyone thoughtlessly takes an oath(G) to do anything, whether good or evil(H) (in any matter one might carelessly swear about) even though they are unaware of it, but then they learn of it and realize their guilt— 5 when anyone becomes aware that they are guilty in any of these matters, they must confess(I) in what way they have sinned. 6 As a penalty for the sin they have committed, they must bring to the Lord a female lamb or goat(J) from the flock as a sin offering[a];(K) and the priest shall make atonement(L) for them for their sin.
7 “‘Anyone who cannot afford(M) a lamb(N) is to bring two doves or two young pigeons(O) to the Lord as a penalty for their sin—one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. 8 They are to bring them to the priest, who shall first offer the one for the sin offering. He is to wring its head from its neck,(P) not dividing it completely,(Q) 9 and is to splash(R) some of the blood of the sin offering against the side of the altar;(S) the rest of the blood must be drained out at the base of the altar.(T) It is a sin offering. 10 The priest shall then offer the other as a burnt offering in the prescribed way(U) and make atonement(V) for them for the sin they have committed, and they will be forgiven.(W)
11 “‘If, however, they cannot afford(X) two doves or two young pigeons,(Y) they are to bring as an offering for their sin a tenth of an ephah[b](Z) of the finest flour(AA) for a sin offering. They must not put olive oil or incense on it, because it is a sin offering. 12 They are to bring it to the priest, who shall take a handful of it as a memorial[c] portion(AB) and burn it on the altar(AC) on top of the food offerings presented to the Lord. It is a sin offering. 13 In this way the priest will make atonement(AD) for them for any of these sins they have committed, and they will be forgiven. The rest of the offering will belong to the priest,(AE) as in the case of the grain offering.(AF)’”
The Guilt Offering
14 The Lord said to Moses: 15 “When anyone is unfaithful to the Lord by sinning unintentionally(AG) in regard to any of the Lord’s holy things, they are to bring to the Lord as a penalty(AH) a ram(AI) from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value in silver, according to the sanctuary shekel.[d](AJ) It is a guilt offering.(AK) 16 They must make restitution(AL) for what they have failed to do in regard to the holy things, pay an additional penalty of a fifth of its value(AM) and give it all to the priest. The priest will make atonement for them with the ram as a guilt offering, and they will be forgiven.
17 “If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it,(AN) they are guilty and will be held responsible.(AO) 18 They are to bring to the priest as a guilt offering(AP) a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value. In this way the priest will make atonement for them for the wrong they have committed unintentionally, and they will be forgiven.(AQ) 19 It is a guilt offering; they have been guilty of[e] wrongdoing against the Lord.”(AR)

New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 5
Special Cases for Purification Offerings.[a] 1 If a person, either having seen or come to know something, does wrong by refusing as a witness under oath to give information,(A) that individual shall bear the penalty; 2 or if someone, without being aware of it, touches any unclean thing, such as the carcass of an unclean wild animal, or an unclean domestic animal, or an unclean swarming creature,[b] and thus is unclean and guilty;(B) 3 or if someone, without being aware of it, touches some human uncleanness,(C) whatever kind of uncleanness this may be, and then subsequently becomes aware of guilt; 4 or if someone, without being aware of it, rashly utters an oath with bad or good intent,(D) whatever kind of oath this may be, and then subsequently becomes aware of guilt in regard to any of these matters— 5 when someone is guilty in regard to any of these matters, that person shall confess the wrong committed, 6 and make reparation to the Lord for the wrong committed: a female animal from the flock, a ewe lamb or a she-goat, as a purification offering. Thus the priest shall make atonement on the individual’s behalf for the wrong.
7 If, however, the person cannot afford an animal of the flock,(E) that person shall bring to the Lord as reparation for the wrong committed two turtledoves or two pigeons, one for a purification offering and the other for a burnt offering. 8 The guilty party shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer the one for the purification offering first.(F) Wringing its head at the neck, yet without breaking it off, 9 he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the purification offering against the side of the altar. The rest of the blood shall be drained out against the base of the altar. It is a purification offering. 10 The other bird he shall offer as a burnt offering according to procedure. Thus the priest shall make atonement on the person’s behalf for the wrong committed, so that the individual may be forgiven.
11 If the person is unable to afford even two turtledoves or two pigeons, that person shall bring as an offering for the wrong committed one tenth of an ephah[c] of bran flour for a purification offering. The guilty party shall not put oil or place frankincense on it, because it is a purification offering.(G) 12 The individual shall bring it to the priest, who shall take a handful as a token of the offering and burn it on the altar with the other oblations for the Lord. It is a purification offering. 13 Thus the priest shall make atonement on the person’s behalf for the wrong committed in any of the above cases, so that the individual may be forgiven. The rest of the offering, like the grain offering, shall belong to the priest.
Reparation Offerings.[d] 14 The Lord said to Moses: 15 (H)When a person commits sacrilege by inadvertently misusing any of the Lord’s sacred objects,(I) the wrongdoer shall bring to the Lord as reparation an unblemished ram from the flock, at the established value[e] in silver shekels according to the sanctuary shekel, as a reparation offering. 16 The wrongdoer shall also restore what has been misused of the sacred objects, adding a fifth of its value,(J) and give this to the priest. Thus the priest shall make atonement for the person with the ram of the reparation offering, so that the individual may be forgiven.
17 If someone does wrong and violates one of the Lord’s prohibitions without realizing it, that person is guilty(K) and shall bear the penalty. 18 The individual shall bring to the priest an unblemished ram of the flock, at the established value, for a reparation offering. The priest shall then make atonement on the offerer’s behalf for the error inadvertently and unknowingly committed so that the individual may be forgiven. 19 It is a reparation offering. The individual must make reparation to the Lord.
20 The Lord said to Moses: 21 When someone does wrong and commits sacrilege against the Lord by deceiving(L) a neighbor about a deposit or a pledge or a stolen article, or by otherwise retaining a neighbor’s goods unjustly;(M) 22 or if, having found a lost article, the person lies about it, swearing falsely about any of the things that a person may do wrong— 23 when someone has thus done wrong and is guilty, that person shall restore the thing that was stolen, the item unjustly retained, the item left as deposit, or the lost article that was found 24 or whatever else the individual swore falsely about. That person shall make full restitution of the thing itself, and add one fifth of its value to it, giving it to its owner at the time of reparation. 25 Then that person shall bring to the priest as reparation to the Lord an unblemished ram of the flock, at the established value, as a reparation offering. 26 The priest shall make atonement on the person’s behalf before the Lord, so that the individual may be forgiven for whatever was done to incur guilt.
Footnotes
- 5:1–13 This differs from the prescriptions for purification offerings in chap. 4 by listing four specific wrongs for which a purification offering is brought and allowing the substitution of birds and grain offerings in the case of poverty.
- 5:2 Swarming creature: a rather imprecise categorization that includes various small creatures in the seas, such as fish that go about in large groups or swarms (Gn 1:20; Lv 11:10); or, similarly, various winged insects that mass in the skies (Lv 11:20; Dt 14:19); and, finally, various small creatures that move in swarms on land, whether crawlers, quadrupeds, or of the multilegged variety (Lv 11:41–42). According to 11:29–30, even various rodents and lizards can be included in this category.
- 5:11 Ephah: see note on Is 5:10.
- 5:14–26 This last half of the chapter deals with a distinct sacrifice, the reparation offering (Heb. ’asham). The Hebrew root for this term has a basic meaning of “be guilty.” The noun can have a consequential sense of “that which is due from guilt,” i.e., “compensation, indemnification, reparation”; hence the translation “reparation offering,” rather than the alternatives “guilt offering” or “trespass offering.” This offering is brought most often in cases of sacrilege.
- 5:15 At the established value: the Hebrew term ‘erkĕkā, which in context means “(established) value,” may indicate that a person could bring the monetary equivalent of a ram instead of an actual animal. See vv. 18, 25.
