5:1 Si peccaverit anima, et audierit vocem jurantis, testisque fuerit quod aut ipse vidit, aut conscius est : nisi indicaverit, portabit iniquitatem suam.

5:1 If any one sin, and hear the voice of one swearing, and is a witness either because he himself hath seen, or is privy to it: if he do not utter it, he shall bear his iniquity.

5:2 Anima quæ tetigerit aliquid immundum, sive quod occisum a bestia est, aut per se mortuum, aut quodlibet aliud reptile : et oblita fuerit immunditiæ suæ, rea est, et deliquit :

5:2 Whosoever toucheth any unclean thing, either that which hath been killed by a beast, or died of itself, or any other creeping thing: and forgetteth his uncleanness, he is guilty, and hath offended.

5:3 et si tetigerit quidquam de immunditia hominis juxta omnem impuritatem, qua pollui solet, oblitaque cognoverit postea, subjacebit delicto.

5:3 And if he touch any thing of the uncleanness of man, according to any uncleanness wherewith he is wont to be defiled: and having forgotten it, come afterwards to know it, he shall be guilty of an offence.

5:4 Anima, quæ juraverit, et protulerit labiis suis, ut vel male quid faceret, vel bene, et idipsum juramento et sermone firmaverit, oblitaque postea intellexerit delictum suum,

5:4 The person that sweareth, and uttereth with his lips, that he would do either evil or good, and bindeth the same with an oath, and his word: and having forgotten it afterwards understandeth his offence,

5:5 agat pœnitentiam pro peccato,

5:5 Let him do penance for his sin:

5:6 et offerat de gregibus agnam sive capram, orabitque pro ea sacerdos et pro peccato ejus.

5:6 And offer of the flocks an ewe lamb, or a she goat, and the priest shall pray for him and for his sin.

5:7 Sin autem non potuerit offerre pecus, offerat duos turtures, vel duos pullos columbarum Domino, unum pro peccato, et alterum in holocaustum,

5:7 But if he be not able to offer a beast, let him offer two turtles, or two young pigeons to the Lord, one for sin, and the other for a holocaust,

5:8 dabitque eos sacerdoti : qui primum offerens pro peccato, retorquebit caput ejus ad pennulas, ita ut collo hæreat, et non penitus abrumpatur.

5:8 And he shall give them to the priest: who shall offer the first for sin, and twist back the head of it to the little pinions, so that it stick to the neck, and be not altogether broken off.

5:9 Et asperget de sanguine ejus parietem altaris ; quidquid autem reliquum fuerit, faciet distillare ad fundamentum ejus, quia pro peccato est.

5:9 And of its blood he shall sprinkle the side of the altar: and whatever is left, he shall let it drop at the bottom thereof, because it is for sin.

5:10 Alterum vero adolebit in holocaustum, ut fieri solet : rogabitque pro eo sacerdos et pro peccato ejus, et dimittetur ei.

5:10 And the other he shall burn for a holocaust, as is wont to be done. And the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

5:11 Quod si non quiverit manus ejus duos offerre turtures, aut duos pullos columbarum, offeret pro peccato suo similæ partem ephi decimam : non mittet in eam oleum, nec thuris aliquid imponet, quia pro peccato est.

5:11 And if his hand be not able to offer two turtles, or two young pigeons, he shall offer for his sin the tenth part of an ephi of flour. He shall not put oil upon it, nor put any frankincense thereon, because it is for sin.

5:12 Tradetque eam sacerdoti : qui plenum ex ea pugillum hauriens, cremabit super altare in monimentum ejus qui obtulerit,

5:12 And he shall deliver it to the priest, who shall take a handful thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar for a memorial of him that offered it:

5:13 rogans pro illo et expians : reliquam vero partem ipse habebit in munere.

5:13 Praying for him and making atonement. But the part that is left, he himself shall have for a gift.

5:14 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :

5:14 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

5:15 Anima si prævaricans cæremonias, per errorem, in his quæ Domino sunt sanctificata, peccaverit, offeret pro delicto suo arietem immaculatum de gregibus, qui emi potest duobus siclis, juxta pondus sanctuarii :

5:15 If any one shall sin through mistake, transgressing the ceremonies in those things that are sacrificed to the Lord, he shall offer for his offence a ram without blemish out of the flocks, that may be bought for two sicles, according to the weight of the sanctuary.

5:16 ipsumque quod intulit damni restituet, et quintam partem ponet supra, tradens sacerdoti, qui rogabit pro eo offerens arietem, et dimittetur ei.

5:16 And he shall make good the damage itself which he hath done, and shall add the fifth part besides, delivering it to the priest, who shall pray for him, offering the ram: and it shall be forgiven him.

5:17 Anima si peccaverit per ignorantiam, feceritque unum ex his quæ Domini lege prohibentur, et peccati rea intellexerit iniquitatem suam,

5:17 If any one sin through ignorance, and do one of those things which by the law of the Lord are forbidden, and being guilty of sin, understand his iniquity:

5:18 offeret arietem immaculatum de gregibus sacerdoti, juxta mensuram æstimationemque peccati : qui orabit pro eo, quia nesciens fecerit : et dimittetur ei,

5:18 He shall offer of the flocks a ram without blemish to the priest, according to the measure and estimation of the sin. And the priest shall pray for him, because he did it ignorantly: And it shall be forgiven him,

5:19 quia per errorem deliquit in Dominum.

5:19 Because by mistake he trespassed against the Lord.

5:20 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :

5:20 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

5:21 Anima quæ peccaverit, et contempto Domino, negaverit proximo suo depositum quod fidei ejus creditum fuerat, vel vi aliquid extorserit, aut calumniam fecerit,

5:21 Whosoever shall sin, and despising the Lord, shall deny to his neighbour the thing delivered to his keeping, which was committed to his trust; or shall by force extort any thing, or commit oppression;

5:22 sive rem perditam invenerit, et inficians insuper pejeraverit, et quodlibet aliud ex pluribus fecerit, in quibus solent peccare homines,

5:22 Or shall find a thing lost, and denying it, shall also swear falsely, or shall do any other of the many things, wherein men are wont to sin:

5:23 convicta delicti,

5:23 Being convicted of the offence, he shall restore

5:24 reddet omnia, quæ per fraudem voluit obtinere, integra, et quintam insuper partem domino cui damnum intulerat.

5:24 All that he would have gotten by fraud, in the principal, and the fifth part besides, to the owner, whom he wronged.

5:25 Pro peccato autem suo offeret arietem immaculatum de grege, et dabit eum sacerdoti, juxta æstimationem mensuramque delicti :

5:25 Moreover for his sin he shall offer a ram without blemish out of the flock: and shall give it to the priest, according to the estimation and measure of the offence.

5:26 qui rogabit pro eo coram Domino, et dimittetur illi pro singulis quæ faciendo peccavit.

5:26 And he shall pray for him before the Lord: and he shall have forgiveness for every thing in doing of which he bath sinned.
