Il grande giorno della espiazione
16 Il Signore parlò a Mosè dopo che i due figli di Aronne erano morti mentre presentavano un'offerta davanti al Signore. 2 Il Signore disse a Mosè: «Parla ad Aronne, tuo fratello, e digli di non entrare in qualunque tempo nel santuario, oltre il velo, davanti al coperchio che è sull'arca; altrimenti potrebbe morire, quando io apparirò nella nuvola sul coperchio. 3 Aronne entrerà nel santuario in questo modo: prenderà un giovenco per il sacrificio espiatorio e un ariete per l'olocausto. 4 Si metterà la tunica sacra di lino, indosserà sul corpo i calzoni di lino, si cingerà della cintura di lino e si metterà in capo il turbante di lino. Sono queste le vesti sacre che indosserà dopo essersi lavato la persona con l'acqua. 5 Dalla comunità degli Israeliti prenderà due capri per un sacrificio espiatorio e un ariete per un olocausto. 6 Aronne offrirà il proprio giovenco in sacrificio espiatorio e compirà l'espiazione per sé e per la sua casa. 7 Poi prenderà i due capri e li farà stare davanti al Signore all'ingresso della tenda del convegno 8 e getterà le sorti per vedere quale dei due debba essere del Signore e quale di Azazel. 9 Farà quindi avvicinare il capro che è toccato in sorte al Signore e l'offrirà in sacrificio espiatorio; 10 invece il capro che è toccato in sorte ad Azazel sarà posto vivo davanti al Signore, perché si compia il rito espiatorio su di lui e sia mandato poi ad Azazel nel deserto.
11 Aronne offrirà dunque il proprio giovenco in sacrificio espiatorio per sé e, fatta l'espiazione per sé e per la sua casa, immolerà il giovenco del sacrificio espiatorio per sé. 12 Poi prenderà l'incensiere pieno di brace tolta dall'altare davanti al Signore e due manciate di incenso odoroso polverizzato; porterà ogni cosa oltre il velo. 13 Metterà l'incenso sul fuoco davanti al Signore, perché la nube dell'incenso copra il coperchio che è sull'arca e così non muoia. 14 Poi prenderà un pò di sangue del giovenco e ne aspergerà con il dito il coperchio dal lato d'oriente e farà sette volte l'aspersione del sangue con il dito, davanti al coperchio. 15 Poi immolerà il capro del sacrificio espiatorio, quello per il popolo, e ne porterà il sangue oltre il velo; farà con questo sangue quello che ha fatto con il sangue del giovenco: lo aspergerà sul coperchio e davanti al coperchio.
16 Così farà l'espiazione sul santuario per l'impurità degli Israeliti, per le loro trasgressioni e per tutti i loro peccati. Lo stesso farà per la tenda del convegno che si trova fra di loro, in mezzo alle loro impurità. 17 Nella tenda del convegno non dovrà esserci alcuno, da quando egli entrerà nel santuario per farvi il rito espiatorio, finché egli non sia uscito e non abbia compiuto il rito espiatorio per sé, per la sua casa e per tutta la comunità d'Israele.
18 Uscito dunque verso l'altare, che è davanti al Signore, compirà il rito espiatorio per esso, prendendo il sangue del giovenco e il sangue del capro e bagnandone intorno i corni dell'altare. 19 Farà per sette volte l'aspersione del sangue con il dito sopra l'altare; così lo purificherà e lo santificherà dalle impurità degli Israeliti.
20 Quando avrà finito l'aspersione per il santuario, per la tenda del convegno e per l'altare, farà accostare il capro vivo. 21 Aronne poserà le mani sul capo del capro vivo, confesserà sopra di esso tutte le iniquità degli Israeliti, tutte le loro trasgressioni, tutti i loro peccati e li riverserà sulla testa del capro; poi, per mano di un uomo incaricato di ciò, lo manderà via nel deserto. 22 Quel capro, portandosi addosso tutte le loro iniquità in una regione solitaria, sarà lasciato andare nel deserto.
23 Poi Aronne entrerà nella tenda del convegno, si toglierà le vesti di lino che aveva indossate per entrare nel santuario e le deporrà in quel luogo. 24 Laverà la sua persona nell'acqua in luogo santo, indosserà le sue vesti e uscirà ad offrire il suo olocausto e l'olocausto del popolo e a compiere il rito espiatorio per sé e per il popolo. 25 E farà ardere sull'altare le parti grasse del sacrificio espiatorio.
26 Colui che avrà lasciato andare il capro destinato ad Azazel si laverà le vesti, laverà il suo corpo nell'acqua; dopo, rientrerà nel campo.
27 Si porterà fuori del campo il giovenco del sacrificio espiatorio e il capro del sacrificio, il cui sangue è stato introdotto nel santuario per compiere il rito espiatorio, se ne bruceranno nel fuoco la pelle, la carne e gli escrementi. 28 Poi colui che li avrà bruciati dovrà lavarsi le vesti e bagnarsi il corpo nell'acqua; dopo, rientrerà nel campo.
29 Questa sarà per voi una legge perenne: nel settimo mese, nel decimo giorno del mese, vi umilierete, vi asterrete da qualsiasi lavoro, sia colui che è nativo del paese, sia il forestiero che soggiorna in mezzo a voi. 30 Poiché in quel giorno si compirà il rito espiatorio per voi, al fine di purificarvi; voi sarete purificati da tutti i vostri peccati, davanti al Signore. 31 Sarà per voi un sabato di riposo assoluto e voi vi umilierete; è una legge perenne. 32 Il sacerdote che ha ricevuto l'unzione ed è rivestito del sacerdozio al posto di suo padre, compirà il rito espiatorio; si vestirà delle vesti di lino, delle vesti sacre. 33 Farà l'espiazione per il santuario, per la tenda del convegno e per l'altare; farà l'espiazione per i sacerdoti e per tutto il popolo della comunità. 34 Questa sarà per voi legge perenne: una volta all'anno, per gli Israeliti, si farà l'espiazione di tutti i loro peccati».
E si fece come il Signore aveva ordinato a Mosè.

The Day of Atonement
16 Now the Lord spoke to Moses after (A)the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered profane fire before the Lord, and died; 2 and the Lord said to Moses: “Tell Aaron your brother (B)not to come at just any time into the Holy Place inside the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark, lest he die; for (C)I will appear in the cloud above the mercy seat.
3 [a]“Thus Aaron shall (D)come into the Holy Place: (E)with the blood of a young bull as a sin offering, and of a ram as a burnt offering. 4 He shall put the (F)holy linen tunic and the linen trousers on his body; he shall be girded with a linen sash, and with the linen turban he shall be attired. These are holy garments. Therefore (G)he shall wash his body in water, and put them on. 5 And he shall take from (H)the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats as a sin offering, and one ram as a burnt offering.
6 “Aaron shall offer the bull as a sin offering, which is for himself, and (I)make atonement for himself and for his house. 7 He shall take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 8 Then Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for the Lord and the other lot for the scapegoat. 9 And Aaron shall bring the goat on which the Lord’s lot fell, and offer it as a sin offering. 10 But the goat on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make (J)atonement upon it, and to let it go as the scapegoat into the wilderness.
11 “And Aaron shall bring the bull of the sin offering, which is for (K)himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall kill the bull as the sin offering which is for himself. 12 Then he shall take (L)a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar before the Lord, with his hands full of (M)sweet incense beaten fine, and bring it inside the veil. 13 (N)And he shall put the incense on the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of incense may cover the (O)mercy seat that is on the Testimony, lest he (P)die. 14 (Q)He shall take some of the blood of the bull and (R)sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east side; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
15 (S)“Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, which is for the people, bring its blood (T)inside the veil, do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and before the mercy seat. 16 So he shall (U)make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, for all their sins; and so he shall do for the tabernacle of meeting which remains among them in the midst of their uncleanness. 17 There shall be (V)no man in the tabernacle of meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, that he may make atonement for himself, for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel. 18 And he shall go out to the altar that is before the Lord, and make atonement for (W)it, and shall take some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat, and put it on the horns of the altar all around. 19 Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, cleanse it, and (X)consecrate[b] it from the [c]uncleanness of the children of Israel.
20 “And when he has made an end of atoning for the Holy Place, the tabernacle of meeting, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat. 21 Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, (Y)confess over it all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, concerning all their sins, (Z)putting them on the head of the goat, and shall send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a suitable man. 22 The goat [d]shall (AA)bear on itself all their iniquities to an [e]uninhabited land; and he shall (AB)release the goat in the wilderness.
23 “Then Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of meeting, (AC)shall take off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and shall leave them there. 24 And he shall wash his body with water in a holy place, put on his garments, come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make [f]atonement for himself and for the people. 25 (AD)The fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar. 26 And he who released the goat as the scapegoat shall wash his clothes (AE)and bathe his body in water, and afterward he may come into the camp. 27 (AF)The bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried outside the camp. And they shall burn in the fire their skins, their flesh, and their offal. 28 Then he who burns them shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and afterward he may come into the camp.
29 “This shall be a statute forever for you: (AG)In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall [g]afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether a native of your own country or a stranger who [h]dwells among you. 30 For on that day the priest shall make [i]atonement for you, to (AH)cleanse you, that you may be clean from all your sins before the Lord. 31 (AI)It is a sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall afflict your souls. It is a statute forever. 32 (AJ)And the priest, who is anointed and (AK)consecrated to minister as priest in his father’s place, shall make atonement, and put on the linen clothes, the holy garments; 33 then he shall make [j]atonement for [k]the Holy Sanctuary, and he shall make atonement for the tabernacle of meeting and for the altar, and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly. 34 (AL)This shall be an everlasting statute for you, to make atonement for the children of Israel, for all their sins, (AM)once a year.” And he did as the Lord commanded Moses.

贖罪祭的條例
16 亞倫的兩個兒子走近耶和華面前而死亡以後，耶和華對摩西說： 2 “你要告訴你的哥哥亞倫，不可隨時進入聖所的幔子裡面，到約櫃上的施恩座，免得他死亡，因為我在施恩座上的彩雲中顯現。 3 亞倫進入聖所時要帶一頭公牛犢作贖罪祭，一隻公綿羊作燔祭。 4 他要穿上細麻布的聖內袍，也要把細麻布的褲子穿在身上，腰束細麻布的帶子，頭戴細麻布禮冠；這些就是聖衣。他要先用水洗身，然後才穿上聖衣。 5 他要從以色列的會眾中，取兩隻公山羊作贖罪祭，一隻公綿羊作燔祭。 6 亞倫為自己的罪獻上作贖罪祭的公牛，為自己和家人贖罪， 7 然後把兩隻公山羊牽來，放在會幕門口，耶和華的面前； 8 亞倫要為這兩隻山羊抽籤：一籤歸耶和華，另一籤歸阿撒瀉勒（“阿撒瀉勒”是希伯來文音譯，這字原意不能確定）。 9 亞倫要把那抽籤歸耶和華的山羊，獻作贖罪祭。 10 至於那抽籤歸阿撒瀉勒的山羊，卻要活活地擺在耶和華面前，用來贖罪，然後叫人把牠送到曠野，歸阿撒瀉勒。
11 “亞倫要先為自己獻上作贖罪祭的公牛，為自己和家人贖罪，他要把那為自己作贖罪祭的公牛宰殺。 12 從耶和華面前的祭壇上，拿一個盛滿火炭的香爐，又拿一捧搗細的芬芳香料，帶進幔子裡， 13 在耶和華面前把香放在火上，使香的煙雲遮掩約櫃上的施恩座，免得他死亡。 14 他要取些公牛的血，用指頭彈在施恩座的東面，再用指頭在施恩座的前面，彈血七次。
15 “然後他要宰殺那為人民作贖罪祭的公山羊，把血帶進幔子裡，彈羊血在施恩座的上面和施恩座的前面，好像彈公牛的血一樣。 16 他要為聖所贖罪，使聖所脫離以色列人的不潔和他們的過犯，就是他們的一切罪孽。然後他又要為會幕同樣的贖罪。因為會幕和他們在一起，在他們的不潔中間。 17 他進入至聖所贖罪的時候，會幕裡不可有人；直到他為自己和家人，以及以色列全體會眾，贖了罪出來為止。 18 他出來，就到耶和華面前的祭壇那裡，為壇贖罪。他要取一點公牛的血和山羊的血，抹祭壇的四角。 19 又用指頭向祭壇彈血七次，潔淨祭壇，使它分別為聖，脫離以色列人的不潔。
代罪的山羊
20 “亞倫為聖所、會幕和祭壇贖了罪以後，就要把那隻活山羊獻上。 21 亞倫兩手按在那隻活山羊頭上，承認以色列人的一切罪孽和他們的過犯，就是他們一切罪孽。把它們都歸在那山羊的頭上；然後經由已預定的人，把羊送到曠野裡去。 22 那隻山羊就擔當他們的一切罪孽，把它們帶到一個完全隔離的地；所以那人要把那隻山羊送到曠野裡去。
23 “亞倫要進會幕，把他進聖所時所穿的細麻布衣服脫下，放在那裡。 24 然後在聖潔的地方用水洗身，穿回自己的衣服出來，把自己的燔祭和眾民的燔祭獻上，為自己和眾民贖罪。 25 贖罪祭牲的脂肪，他要焚燒在祭壇上。 26 那送走歸阿撒瀉勒的山羊的人，要洗淨自己的衣服，用水洗身，然後才可以進到營裡。 27 那作贖罪祭的公牛和作贖罪祭的公山羊，牠們的血既然被帶進去為聖所贖罪，牠們的身體就要搬出營外去；牠們的皮、肉和糞都要用火燒掉。 28 那燒祭牲的人要洗淨自己的衣服，用水洗身，然後才可以進營。
每年當守一次贖罪日
29 “每逢七月十日，你們要刻苦己心，無論是本地人，或是寄居在你們中間的外人，甚麼的工，你們都不可作，這要作你們永遠的律例。 30 因為在這一天，他要為你們贖罪，使你們潔淨，脫離你們一切罪孽，使你們在耶和華面前成為潔淨。 31 這是完全休歇的安息，你們要刻苦己心。這是永遠的律例。 32 那被膏立，承受聖職，接替他父親作祭司的，要穿上細麻布衣服，就是聖潔的衣服，進行贖罪。 33 他要為至聖所贖罪，又為會幕和祭壇贖罪，以及為祭司們和全體會眾贖罪。 34 每年一次，要因以色列人一切的罪，為他們贖罪。這是你們永遠的律例。”於是亞倫照著耶和華吩咐摩西的去行。

The Day of Atonement(A)
16 The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron who died when they approached the Lord.(B) 2 The Lord said to Moses: “Tell your brother Aaron that he is not to come whenever he chooses(C) into the Most Holy Place(D) behind the curtain(E) in front of the atonement cover(F) on the ark, or else he will die. For I will appear(G) in the cloud(H) over the atonement cover.
3 “This is how Aaron is to enter the Most Holy Place:(I) He must first bring a young bull(J) for a sin offering[a] and a ram for a burnt offering.(K) 4 He is to put on the sacred linen tunic,(L) with linen undergarments next to his body; he is to tie the linen sash around him and put on the linen turban.(M) These are sacred garments;(N) so he must bathe himself with water(O) before he puts them on.(P) 5 From the Israelite community(Q) he is to take two male goats(R) for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.
6 “Aaron is to offer the bull for his own sin offering to make atonement for himself and his household.(S) 7 Then he is to take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 8 He is to cast lots(T) for the two goats—one lot for the Lord and the other for the scapegoat.[b](U) 9 Aaron shall bring the goat whose lot falls to the Lord and sacrifice it for a sin offering. 10 But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the Lord to be used for making atonement(V) by sending it into the wilderness as a scapegoat.
11 “Aaron shall bring the bull for his own sin offering to make atonement for himself and his household,(W) and he is to slaughter the bull for his own sin offering. 12 He is to take a censer full of burning coals(X) from the altar before the Lord and two handfuls of finely ground fragrant incense(Y) and take them behind the curtain. 13 He is to put the incense on the fire before the Lord, and the smoke of the incense will conceal the atonement cover(Z) above the tablets of the covenant law, so that he will not die.(AA) 14 He is to take some of the bull’s blood(AB) and with his finger sprinkle it on the front of the atonement cover; then he shall sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times before the atonement cover.(AC)
15 “He shall then slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the people(AD) and take its blood behind the curtain(AE) and do with it as he did with the bull’s blood: He shall sprinkle(AF) it on the atonement cover and in front of it. 16 In this way he will make atonement(AG) for the Most Holy Place(AH) because of the uncleanness and rebellion of the Israelites, whatever their sins have been. He is to do the same for the tent of meeting,(AI) which is among them in the midst of their uncleanness. 17 No one is to be in the tent of meeting from the time Aaron goes in to make atonement in the Most Holy Place until he comes out, having made atonement for himself, his household and the whole community of Israel.
18 “Then he shall come out to the altar(AJ) that is before the Lord and make atonement for it. He shall take some of the bull’s blood and some of the goat’s blood and put it on all the horns of the altar.(AK) 19 He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to cleanse it and to consecrate it from the uncleanness of the Israelites.(AL)
20 “When Aaron has finished making atonement for the Most Holy Place, the tent of meeting and the altar, he shall bring forward the live goat.(AM) 21 He is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat(AN) and confess(AO) over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites—all their sins—and put them on the goat’s head. He shall send the goat away into the wilderness in the care of someone appointed for the task. 22 The goat will carry on itself all their sins(AP) to a remote place; and the man shall release it in the wilderness.
23 “Then Aaron is to go into the tent of meeting and take off the linen garments(AQ) he put on before he entered the Most Holy Place, and he is to leave them there.(AR) 24 He shall bathe himself with water in the sanctuary area(AS) and put on his regular garments.(AT) Then he shall come out and sacrifice the burnt offering for himself and the burnt offering for the people,(AU) to make atonement for himself and for the people.(AV) 25 He shall also burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.
26 “The man who releases the goat as a scapegoat(AW) must wash his clothes(AX) and bathe himself with water;(AY) afterward he may come into the camp. 27 The bull and the goat for the sin offerings, whose blood was brought into the Most Holy Place to make atonement, must be taken outside the camp;(AZ) their hides, flesh and intestines are to be burned up. 28 The man who burns them must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water; afterward he may come into the camp.(BA)
29 “This is to be a lasting ordinance(BB) for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month(BC) you must deny yourselves[c](BD) and not do any work(BE)—whether native-born(BF) or a foreigner residing among you— 30 because on this day atonement will be made(BG) for you, to cleanse you. Then, before the Lord, you will be clean from all your sins.(BH) 31 It is a day of sabbath rest, and you must deny yourselves;(BI) it is a lasting ordinance.(BJ) 32 The priest who is anointed and ordained(BK) to succeed his father as high priest is to make atonement. He is to put on the sacred linen garments(BL) 33 and make atonement for the Most Holy Place, for the tent of meeting and the altar, and for the priests and all the members of the community.(BM)
34 “This is to be a lasting ordinance(BN) for you: Atonement is to be made once a year(BO) for all the sins of the Israelites.”
And it was done, as the Lord commanded Moses.
