Leviticus 5
New International Reader's Version
5 “ ‘Suppose someone has been called as a witness to something they have seen or learned about. Then if they do not tell what they know, they have sinned. And they will be held responsible for it.
2 “ ‘Or suppose someone touches something not “clean.” It could be the dead bodies of wild animals or of livestock. Or it could be the dead bodies of creatures that move along the ground. Even though those people are not aware that they touched them, they have become “unclean.” And they are guilty. 3 Or suppose they touch something “unclean” that comes from a human being. It could be anything that would make them “unclean.” Suppose they are not aware that they touched it. When they find out about it, they will be guilty. 4 Or suppose someone makes a promise to do something without thinking it through. It does not matter what they promised. It does not matter whether they made the promise without thinking about it carefully. And suppose they are not aware that they did not think it through. When they find out about it, they will be guilty. 5 When someone is guilty in any of those ways, they must admit they have sinned. 6 They must bring a sin offering to pay for the sin they have committed. They must bring to the Lord a female lamb or goat from the flock. The priest will sacrifice the animal. That will pay for the person’s sin.
7 “ ‘Suppose they can’t afford a lamb. Then they must get two doves or two young pigeons. They must bring them to the Lord to pay for their sin. One of them is for a sin offering. The other is for a burnt offering. 8 They must bring them to the priest. The priest will offer the one for the sin offering first. He must twist its head. But he must not twist it off completely. 9 Then he must splash some of the blood of the sin offering against the side of the altar. He must empty out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar. It is a sin offering. 10 Then the priest will offer the other bird as a burnt offering. He must do it in the way the law requires. That will pay for the sin they have committed. And they will be forgiven.
11 “ ‘But suppose they can’t afford two doves or two young pigeons. Then they must bring three and a half pounds of the finest flour as an offering for their sin. It is a sin offering. They must not put olive oil or incense on it. That is because it is a sin offering. 12 They must bring it to the priest. The priest must take a handful of it. He must burn that part on the altar. It will be a reminder that all good things come from the Lord. The priest must burn it on top of the food offerings presented to the Lord. It is a sin offering. 13 In that way the priest will pay for any of the sins they have committed. And they will be forgiven. The rest of the offering will belong to the priest. It is the same as in the case of the grain offering.’ ”
Rules for Guilt Offerings
14 The Lord spoke to Moses. He said, 15 “Suppose someone is unfaithful to me and sins. And they do it without meaning to. Here is how they sin against me or my priests. They refuse to give the priests one of the holy things set apart for them. Then they must bring me a ram from the flock. It must not have any flaws. It must be worth the required amount of silver. The silver must be weighed out in keeping with the standard weights that are used in the sacred tent. The ram is a guilt offering. It will pay for their sin. 16 They must also pay for the holy thing they refused to give. They must add a fifth of its value to it. They must give all of it to the priest. The priest will pay for their sin with the ram. It is a guilt offering. And they will be forgiven.
17 “Suppose someone sins by doing something I command them not to do. Even though they do not know it, they are guilty. They will be held responsible for it. 18 They must bring to the priest a ram from the flock as a guilt offering. It must not have any flaws. And it must be worth the required amount of money. The priest will sacrifice the animal. That will pay for what they have done wrong without meaning to. And they will be forgiven. 19 It is a guilt offering. They have been guilty of doing wrong against me.”

5 “‘If anyone sins, in that he hears a public adjuration to testify, he being a witness, whether he has seen or known, if he doesn’t report it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
2 “‘Or if anyone touches any unclean thing, whether it is the carcass of an unclean animal, or the carcass of unclean livestock, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and it is hidden from him, and he is unclean, then he shall be guilty.
3 “‘Or if he touches the uncleanness of man, whatever his uncleanness is with which he is unclean, and it is hidden from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty.
4 “‘Or if anyone swears rashly with his lips to do evil or to do good—whatever it is that a man might utter rashly with an oath, and it is hidden from him—when he knows of it, then he will be guilty of one of these. 5 It shall be, when he is guilty of one of these, he shall confess that in which he has sinned; 6 and he shall bring his trespass offering to Yahweh for his sin which he has sinned: a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin.
7 “‘If he can’t afford a lamb, then he shall bring his trespass offering for that in which he has sinned, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to Yahweh; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. 8 He shall bring them to the priest, who shall first offer the one which is for the sin offering. He shall wring off its head from its neck, but shall not sever it completely. 9 He shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering. 10 He shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the ordinance; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven.
11 “‘But if he can’t afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then he shall bring as his offering for that in which he has sinned, one tenth of an ephah[a] of fine flour for a sin offering. He shall put no oil on it, and he shall not put any frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering. 12 He shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as the memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, on the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. It is a sin offering. 13 The priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned in any of these things, and he will be forgiven; and the rest shall be the priest’s, as the meal offering.’”
14 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 15 “If anyone commits a trespass, and sins unwittingly regarding Yahweh’s holy things, then he shall bring his trespass offering to Yahweh: a ram without defect from the flock, according to your estimation in silver by shekels, according to the shekel[b] of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering. 16 He shall make restitution for that which he has done wrong regarding the holy thing, and shall add a fifth part to it, and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and he will be forgiven.
17 “If anyone sins, doing any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, though he didn’t know it, he is still guilty, and shall bear his iniquity. 18 He shall bring a ram without defect from of the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning the thing in which he sinned and didn’t know it, and he will be forgiven. 19 It is a trespass offering. He is certainly guilty before Yahweh.”

5 "Në qoftë se dikush kryen një mëkat, pasi të jetë betuar botërisht se do të dëshmojë, kur ai është dëshmitar, sepse e ka parë faktin ose i është bërë i njohur, po të jetë se nuk e kallëzon, do të mbajë fajin.
2 Ose kur dikush prek diçka të papastër, qoftë edhe në mënyrë të pandërgjegjshme, si kërmën e një kafshe të papastër ose kërmën e një kafshe shtëpiake të papastër apo kërmën të një rrëshqanori të papastër, do të mbetet ai vetë i papastër dhe fajtor.
3 Ose kur prek një papastërti njerëzore, qoftë edhe në mënyrë të pandërgjegjshme, çfarëdo gjë me anë të të cilit njeriu bëhet i papastër kur e pranon, është fajtor.
4 Ose në se dikush në mënyrë të pandërgjegjshme, duke folur pa u menduar thellë me buzët e tij, betohet se do të bëjë një të mirë apo një të keqe, çfarëdo gjë që një njeri mund të thotë me mëndjelehtësi me një betim, kur e pranon gabimin, është fajtor për secilën nga këto gjëra.
5 Prandaj në se dikush është bërë fajtor në një nga këto gjëra, do të pranojë mëkatin që ka kryer;
6 do t’i çojë pra Zotit, si fli të fajit të tij për mëkatin që ka kryer, një femër të kopesë, një dele apo një dhi, si flijim për mëkatin; dhe prifti do të bëjë për të shlyerjen për shkak të mëkatit të tij.
7 Në qoftë se nuk ka mjetet për të siguruar një dele, do t’i çojë Zotit, si fli për mëkatin e kryer, dy turtuj ose dy pëllumba të rinj: njërin si flijim për mëkatin dhe tjetrin si olokaust.
8 Do t’ia çojë priftit, i cili do të ofrojë së pari atë të mëkatit; do t’i këpusë kokën pranë qafës, por pa e ndarë plotësisht;
9 pastaj do të spërkasë pak gjak të flijimit për mëkatin mbi faqen e altarit, dhe mbetja e gjakut do të derdhet në bazën e altarit. Ky është një flijim për mëkatin.
10 Me zogun tjetër do të bëjë një olokaust, simbas normave të caktuara. Kështu prifti do të bëjë për atë person shlyerjen e mëkatit që ka kryer, dhe ai do t’i falet.
11 Por në rast se i mungojnë mjetet për të siguruar dy turtuj ose dy pëllumba të rinj, atëherë kush ka mëkatuar do të sjellë si ofertë të dhjetën pjesë të një efe në majë mielli, si flijim për mëkatin; nuk do të vërë mbi të as vaj as temjan, sepse është një flijim për mëkatin.
12 Do ta çojë miellin te prifti dhe ky do të marrë një grusht prej tij si kujtim, dhe do ta tymosë mbi altarin sipër flijimeve të bëra me zjarr për Zotin. Éshtë një flijim për mëkatin.
13 Kështu prifti do të shlyejë për të mëkatin që ai ka kryer në një nga këto gjëra, dhe ai do t’i jetë falur. Mbetja do t’i takojë priftit, si në blatimin e ushqimit".
14 Zoti i foli akoma Moisiut, duke thënë:
15 "Në qoftë se dikush kryen ndonjë shkelje dhe mëkaton nga padituria kundër gjërave të shenjta të Zotit, atëherë do t’i çojë Zotit ofertën e tij për shkeljen, një dash pa të meta të marrë nga kopeja, të cilin ti e çmon në sikla argjendi, simbas siklit të shenjtërores, si ofertë për shkeljen.
16 Dhe do ta lajë dëmin e shkaktuar ndaj gjësë së shenjtë, duke shtuar një të pestën e vlerës, dhe do t’ia japë priftit; kështu prifti do të bëjë për të shlyerjen me dashin e ofertës për shkeljen, dhe shkelja do t’i falet.
17 Në qoftë se dikush mëkaton dhe, në mënyrë të pandërgjegjshme, kryen një diçka që Zoti ka ndaluar të bëhet, është gjithashtu fajtor dhe i detyruar të vuajë dënimin.
18 Ai do t’i sjellë priftit si ofertë për shkeljen, një dash pa të meta, të marrë nga kopeja, sipas vlerësimit tënd. Kështu prifti do të bëjë për të shlyerjen për mëkatin e tij nga padituria, të cilin e ka kryer në mënyrë të pandërgjegjshme dhe ky do t’i jetë falur.
19 Kjo është një ofertë për shkeljen; ai është me siguri fajtor përpara Zotit".

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)
