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)

Leviticus 5
New King James Version
The Trespass Offering
5 ‘If a person sins in (A)hearing the utterance of an oath, and is a witness, whether he has seen or known of the matter—if he does not tell it, he (B)bears [a]guilt.
2 ‘Or (C)if a person touches any unclean thing, whether it is the carcass of an unclean beast, or the carcass of unclean livestock, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and he is unaware of it, he also shall be unclean and (D)guilty. 3 Or if he touches (E)human uncleanness—whatever uncleanness with which a man may be defiled, and he is unaware of it—when he realizes it, then he shall be guilty.
4 ‘Or if a person [b]swears, speaking thoughtlessly with his lips (F)to do evil or (G)to do good, whatever it is that a man may pronounce by an oath, and he is unaware of it—when he realizes it, then he shall be guilty in any of these matters.
5 ‘And it shall be, when he is guilty in any of these matters, that he shall (H)confess that he has sinned in that thing; 6 and he shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord for his sin which he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats as a sin offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin.
7 (I)‘If he is not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring to the Lord, for his trespass which he has committed, two (J)turtledoves or two young pigeons: one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. 8 And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and (K)wring off its head from its neck, but shall not divide it [c]completely. 9 Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, and the (L)rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering. 10 And he shall offer the second as a burnt offering according to the (M)prescribed manner. So (N)the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin which he has committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
11 ‘But if he is (O)not able to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then he who sinned shall bring for his offering one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a sin offering. (P)He shall put no oil on it, nor shall he put frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering. 12 Then he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it (Q)as a memorial portion, and burn it on the altar (R)according to the offerings made by fire to the Lord. It is a sin offering. 13 (S)The priest shall make atonement for him, [d]for his sin that he has committed in any of these matters; and it shall be forgiven him. (T)The rest shall be the priest’s as a grain offering.’ ”
Offerings with Restitution
14 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 15 (U)“If a person commits a trespass, and sins unintentionally in regard to the holy things of the Lord, then (V)he shall bring to the Lord as his trespass offering a ram without blemish from the flocks, with your valuation in shekels of silver according to (W)the shekel of the sanctuary, as a trespass offering. 16 And he shall make restitution for the harm that he has done in regard to the holy thing, (X)and shall add one-fifth to it and give it to the priest. (Y)So the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
17 “If a person sins, and commits any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord, (Z)though he does not know it, yet he is (AA)guilty and shall bear his [e]iniquity. 18 (AB)And he shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish from the flock, with your valuation, as a trespass offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him regarding his ignorance in which he erred and did not know it, and it shall be forgiven him. 19 It is a trespass offering; (AC)he has certainly trespassed against the Lord.”

La Biblia de las Américas
Casos particulares de ofrendas por el pecado
5 »Si alguien peca al ser llamado a testificar[a](A), siendo testigo de lo que ha visto o sabe, y no lo declara, será culpable[b]. 2 O si alguien toca cualquier cosa inmunda, ya sea el cadáver de una fiera inmunda, o el cadáver de ganado inmundo, o el cadáver de un reptil inmundo(B), aunque no se dé cuenta de ello[c] y se contamina[d], será culpable. 3 O si toca inmundicia humana, de cualquier clase que sea la inmundicia con que se contamine, sin darse cuenta[e], y después llega a saberlo, será culpable. 4 O si alguien, sin pensar, jura con sus labios hacer mal o hacer bien, en cualquier asunto que el hombre hable sin pensar con juramento(C), sin darse cuenta[f], y luego llega a saberlo, será culpable de cualquiera[g] de estas cosas. 5 Así será que cuando llegue a ser culpable de cualquiera[h] de estas cosas, confesará aquello en que ha pecado(D). 6 Traerá también al Señor su ofrenda por la culpa, por el pecado que ha cometido[i], una hembra del rebaño(E), una cordera o una cabra como ofrenda por el pecado. Y el sacerdote le hará expiación por su pecado.
7 »Pero si no tiene lo suficiente[j] para ofrecer un cordero, entonces traerá al Señor como ofrenda por la culpa de aquello en que ha pecado, dos tórtolas o dos pichones, uno como ofrenda por el pecado y el otro como holocausto(F). 8 Los traerá al sacerdote, el cual ofrecerá primero el que es para ofrenda por el pecado, y le cortará la cabeza por la cerviz sin arrancarla[k](G). 9 Rociará también de la sangre de la ofrenda por el pecado al costado del altar(H), y el resto de la sangre será exprimida al pie del altar(I); es ofrenda por el pecado. 10 Entonces preparará el segundo como holocausto según la ordenanza(J). Así el sacerdote hará expiación por él, por el pecado que ha cometido[l], y le será perdonado(K).
11 »Pero si no tiene lo suficiente[m] para dos tórtolas o dos pichones(L), entonces, como ofrenda por el pecado que ha cometido[n], traerá la décima parte de un efa[o] de flor de harina como ofrenda por el pecado; no pondrá aceite ni incienso en ella, pues es ofrenda por el pecado(M). 12 Y la traerá al sacerdote, y el sacerdote tomará de ella un puñado como memorial, y la quemará sobre el altar con[p] las ofrendas encendidas para el Señor; es ofrenda por el pecado. 13 Así el sacerdote hará expiación por él, por el pecado que ha cometido[q] en alguna de estas cosas(N), y le será perdonado; el resto será del sacerdote, como en la ofrenda de cereal(O)».
14 Habló el Señor a Moisés, diciendo: 15 Si alguno comete una falta(P) y peca inadvertidamente en las cosas sagradas del Señor(Q), traerá su ofrenda por la culpa al Señor(R): un carnero sin defecto del rebaño(S), conforme a tu valuación en siclos[r] de plata, según el siclo del santuario(T), como ofrenda por la culpa. 16 Hará restitución por aquello en que ha pecado en las cosas sagradas, y añadirá a ello la quinta parte(U), y se lo dará al sacerdote. Y el sacerdote hará expiación por él con el carnero de la ofrenda por la culpa, y le será perdonado(V).
17 Si alguno peca y hace cualquiera de las cosas que el Señor ha mandado que no se hagan, aunque no se dé cuenta, será culpable(W) y llevará su castigo[s]. 18 Entonces traerá al sacerdote un carnero sin defecto del rebaño(X), conforme a tu valuación, como ofrenda por la culpa. Así el sacerdote hará expiación por él por su error mediante el cual ha pecado inadvertidamente(Y) sin saberlo, y le será perdonado. 19 Es ofrenda por la culpa; ciertamente era culpable delante del Señor.

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
5 「如果有人當庭作證,卻不肯把自己所知所見的說出來,就是犯罪,要擔負罪責。 2 如果有人接觸了不潔淨之物,如野獸的屍體、家畜的屍體或爬蟲的屍體,即使無意也已不潔淨,是有罪的。 3 如果有人無意中接觸了別人的不潔之物,當他意識到後,就有罪了。 4 如果有人草率起誓,不論出於善意還是惡意,即使當初沒有察覺,後來才意識到,也是有罪的。 5 如果有人犯了以上任何一種罪,就必須認罪。 6 為了贖過,他必須獻給耶和華一隻母綿羊或母山羊作贖罪祭。祭司要為他贖罪。
7 「他若獻不起羊,就要獻給耶和華兩隻斑鳩或兩隻雛鴿,一隻作贖罪祭,一隻作燔祭。 8 他要把牠們帶到祭司那裡,祭司要先用一隻鳥獻贖罪祭,要扭斷鳥脖子,但不可扯掉頭。 9 要把一些鳥血灑在祭壇邊,剩下的血要倒在壇腳旁。這是贖罪祭。 10 祭司要依照獻燔祭的條例獻上另一隻鳥。這樣,祭司為他贖了罪,他就會得到赦免。
11 「他若獻不起兩隻斑鳩或雛鴿,就要獻一公斤細麵粉作贖罪祭。細麵粉中不可澆油或加乳香,因為這是贖罪祭。 12 他要把細麵粉帶到祭司那裡,祭司要從中取出一把作為象徵放在壇上,與獻給耶和華的火祭一起焚燒。這是贖罪祭。 13 這樣,祭司為他贖了罪,他就會得到赦免。剩下的細麵粉要歸祭司,像獻素祭一樣。」
獻贖過祭的條例
14 耶和華對摩西說: 15 「如果有人無意中違犯了耶和華聖物的條例,為了贖過,他要從羊群中選一隻毫無殘疾的公綿羊獻給耶和華,或按聖所的秤獻上同等價值的銀子。這是贖過祭。 16 他要賠償所造成的損失,並加賠五分之一,要把這些都交給祭司。祭司要為他獻上公綿羊作贖過祭,為他贖罪,他就會得到赦免。
17 「如果有人觸犯耶和華的誡命,即使他不知道,也是有罪的,必須擔當罪責。 18 他要從羊群中選一隻毫無殘疾的公綿羊,或把同等價值的銀子帶到祭司那裡作贖過祭。祭司要為他的無心之過贖罪,他就會得到赦免。 19 這是贖過祭,因為他在耶和華面前確實有罪。」
Leviticus 5
King James Version
5 And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
2 Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
3 Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty.
4 Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.
5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:
6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.
7 And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the Lord; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
8 And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder:
9 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering.
10 And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
11 But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering.
12 Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the Lord: it is a sin offering.
13 And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest's, as a meat offering.
14 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
15 If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the Lord; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering.
16 And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
17 And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
18 And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist it not, and it shall be forgiven him.
19 It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the Lord.
