Levitico 16

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen post mortem duum filiorum Aaron, quando appropinquantes in conspectum Domini interfecti sunt,	1 After the death of Aaron's two sons, who died when they approached the LORD'S presence, the LORD spoke to Moses
2 et praecepit ei dicens: “ Loquere ad Aaron fratrem tuum, ne omni tempore ingrediatur sanctuarium, quod est intra velum coram propitiatorio, quo tegitur arca, ut non moriatur, quia in nube apparebo super propitiatorium;	2 and said to him, "Tell your brother Aaron that he is not to come whenever he pleases into the sanctuary, inside the veil, in front of the propitiatory on the ark; otherwise, when I reveal myself in a cloud above the propitiatory, he will die.
3 sed hoc modo ingrediatur: vitulum offeret pro peccato et arietem in holocaustum;	3 Only in this way may Aaron enter the sanctuary. He shall bring a young bullock for a sin offering and a ram for a holocaust.
4 subucula linea sancta vestietur, feminalibus lineis verecunda celabit, accingetur zona linea, cidarim lineam imponet capiti. Haec enim vestimenta sunt sancta, quibus cunctis, cum lotus fuerit, induetur.	4 He shall wear the sacred linen tunic, with the linen drawers next his flesh, gird himself with the linen sash and put on the linen miter. But since these vestments are sacred, he shall not put them on until he has first bathed his body in water.
5 Suscipietque a coetu filiorum Israel duos hircos in sacrificium pro peccato et unum arietem in holocaustum.	5 From the Israelite community he shall receive two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a holocaust.
6 Cumque obtulerit vitulum in sacrificium suum pro peccato et expiaverit se et domum suam,	6 "Aaron shall bring in the bullock, his sin offering to atone for himself and for his household.
7 duos hircos stare faciet coram Domino in ostio tabernaculi conventus,	7 Taking the two male goats and setting them before the LORD at the entrance of the meeting tent,
8 mittens super utrumque sortem, unam Domino et alteram Azazel.	8 he shall cast lots to determine which one is for the LORD and which for Azazel.
9 Cuius sors exierit Domino, offeret illum pro peccato;	9 The goat that is determined by lot for the LORD, Aaron shall bring in and offer up as a sin offering.
10 cuius autem in Azazel, statuet eum vivum coram Domino in expiationem, ut emittat illum ad Azazel in solitudinem.	10 But the goat determined by lot for Azazel he shall set alive before the LORD, so that with it he may make atonement by sending it off to Azazel in the desert.
11 Afferet ergo Aaron vitulum pro peccato et expians se et domum suam immolabit eum;	11 "Thus shall Aaron offer up the bullock, his sin offering, to atone for himself and for his family. When he has slaughtered it,
12 assumptoque turibulo, quod de prunis altaris coram Domino impleverit, et hauriens manu compositum thymiama in incensum ultra velum intrabit in sancta,	12 he shall take a censer full of glowing embers from the altar before the LORD, as well as a double handful of finely ground fragrant incense, and bringing them inside the veil,
13 ut, positis super ignem aromatibus coram Domino, nebula eorum et vapor operiat propitiatorium, quod est super testimonium, et non moriatur.	13 there before the LORD he shall put incense on the fire, so that a cloud of incense may cover the propitiatory over the commandments; else he will die.
14 Tollet quoque de sanguine vituli et asperget digito septies contra frontem propitiatorii.	14 Taking some of the bullock's blood, he shall sprinkle it with his finger on the fore part of the propitiatory and likewise sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times in front of the propitiatory.
15 Cumque mactaverit hircum pro peccato populi, inferet sanguinem eius intra velum, sicut praeceptum est de sanguine vituli, ut aspergat e regione propitiatorii	15 "Then he shall slaughter the people's sin-offering goat, and bringing its blood inside the veil, he shall do with it as he did with the bullock's blood, sprinkling it on the propitiatory and before it.
16 et expiet sanctuarium ab immunditiis filiorum Israel et a praevaricationibus eorum cunctisque peccatis. Iuxta hunc ritum faciet tabernaculo conventus, quod fixum est inter eos in medio sordium habitationis eorum.	16 Thus he shall make atonement for the sanctuary because of all the sinful defilements and faults of the Israelites. He shall do the same for the meeting tent, which is set up among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
17 Nullus hominum sit in tabernaculo conventus, quando pontifex ingreditur sanctuarium, ut expiet se et domum suam et universam congregationem Israel, donec egrediatur.	17 No one else may be in the meeting tent from the time he enters the sanctuary to make atonement until he departs. When he has made atonement for himself and his household, as well as for the whole Israelite community,
18 Cum autem exierit ad altare, quod coram Domino est, expiabit illud et sumptum sanguinem vituli atque hirci fundet super cornua eius per gyrum;	18 he shall come out to the altar before the LORD and make atonement for it also. Taking some of the bullock's and the goat's blood, he shall put it on the horns around the altar,
19 aspergensque de sanguine digito septies mundabit sanctificabitque illud ab immunditiis filiorum Israel.	19 and with his finger sprinkle some of the blood on it seven times. Thus he shall render it clean and holy, purged of the defilements of the Israelites.
20 Et postquam compleverit expiationem sanctuarii et tabernaculi conventus et altaris, tunc afferat hircum viventem;	20 "When he has completed the atonement rite for the sanctuary, the meeting tent and the altar, Aaron shall bring forward the live goat.
21 et, posita utraque manu super caput eius, confiteatur Aaron super eum omnes iniquitates filiorum Israel et universa delicta atque peccata eorum; quae ponens super caput eius emittet illum per hominem paratum in desertum.	21 Laying both hands on its head, he shall confess over it all the sinful faults and transgressions of the Israelites, and so put them on the goat's head. He shall then have it led into the desert by an attendant.
22 Cumque portaverit hircus super se omnes iniquitates eorum in terram solitariam et dimissus fuerit in desertum,	22 Since the goat is to carry off their iniquities to an isolated region, it must be sent away into the desert.
23 ingredietur Aaron in tabernaculum conventus; et, depositis vestibus lineis, quibus prius indutus erat, cum intraret sanctuarium, relictisque ibi,	23 "After Aaron has again gone into the meeting tent, he shall strip off and leave in the sanctuary the linen vestments he had put on when he entered there.
24 lavabit carnem suam aqua in loco sancto indueturque vestimentis suis. Et postquam egressus obtulerit holocaustum suum ac plebis, expiabit se et populum;	24 After bathing his body with water in a sacred place, he shall put on his vestments, and then come out and offer his own and the people's holocaust, in atonement for himself and for the people,
25 et adipem sacrificii pro peccato adolebit super altare.	25 and also burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.
26 Ille vero, qui dimiserit caprum emissarium ad Azazel, lavabit vestimenta sua et corpus aqua et postea ingredietur in castra.	26 "The man who has led away the goat for Azazel shall wash his garments and bathe his body in water; only then may he enter the camp.
27 Vitulum autem et hircum, qui pro peccato fuerant immolati, et quorum sanguis illatus est, ut in sanctuario expiatio compleretur, asportabunt foras castra et comburent igni tam pelles quam carnes eorum et fimum;	27 The sin-offering bullock and goat whose blood was brought into the sanctuary to make atonement, shall be taken outside the camp, where their hides and flesh and offal shall be burned up in the fire.
28 et quicumque combusserit ea, lavabit vestimenta sua et carnem aqua et postea ingredietur in castra.	28 The one who burns them shall wash his garments and bathe his body in water; only then may he enter the camp.
29 Eritque hoc vobis legitimum sempiternum: mense septimo, decima die mensis affligetis animas vestras nullumque facietis opus sive indigena sive advena, qui peregrinatur inter vos.	29 "This shall be an everlasting ordinance for you: on the tenth day of the seventh month every one of you, whether a native or a resident alien, shall mortify himself and shall do no work.
30 In hac die expiatio erit vestri atque mundatio; ab omnibus peccatis vestris coram Domino mundabimini.	30 Since on this day atonement is made for you to make you clean, so that you may be cleansed of all your sins before the LORD,
31 Sabbatum requietionis est vobis, et affligetis animas vestras religione perpetua.	31 by everlasting ordinance it shall be a most solemn sabbath for you, on which you must mortify yourselves.
32 Expiabit autem sacerdos, qui unctus fuerit, et cuius initiatae manus, ut sacerdotio fungatur pro patre suo; indueturque vestimentis lineis, vestibus sanctis,	32 "This atonement is to be made by the priest who has been anointed and ordained to the priesthood in succession to his father. He shall wear the linen garments, the sacred vestments,
33 et expiabit sanctuarium sanctissimum et tabernaculum conventus atque altare, sacerdotes quoque et universum populum congregationis.	33 and make atonement for the sacred sanctuary, the meeting tent and the altar, as well as for the priests and all the people of the community.
34 Eritque hoc vobis legitimum sempiternum, ut expietis filios Israel a cunctis peccatis eorum semel in anno ”. Fecit igitur, sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi.	34 This, then, shall be an everlasting ordinance for you: once a year atonement shall be made for all the sins of the Israelites." Thus was it done, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
