1 و َتَكَلَّمَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى بَعدَ مَوتِ وَلَدَي هارُونَ اللَّذَينِ ماتا حِينَ حاوَلا الاقتِرابَ مِنَ اللهِ.

The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of Aaron’s two sons, when they had come near the Lord and died.

2 و َقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِهارُونَ أخِيكَ أنْ لا يَأتِيَ مَتَى أرادَ إلَى المَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ خَلفَ السِّتارَةِ الدّاخِلِيِّةِ، أمامَ الغِطاءِ الَّذِي عَلَى الصُّندُوقِ المُقَدَّسِ، وَإلّا فَإنَّهُ سَيَمُوتُ. لِأنِّي أظهَرُ فِي سَحابَةٍ فَوقَ الغِطاءِ.

The Lord said to Moses, “Tell your brother Aaron that he must not come just any time into the holy place inside the curtain, in front of the mercy-seat on the special box of the agreement or he will die. For I will show Myself in the cloud over the mercy-seat.

3 « لَكِنْ يُمكِنُ لِهارُونَ أنْ يَدخُلَ المَكانَ المُقَدَّسَ بَعدَ أنْ يُقَدِّمَ ثَوراً مِنَ البَقَرِ ذَبيحَةَ خَطِيَّةٍ وَكَبْشاً ذَبيحَةً صاعِدَةً.

Only this way will Aaron go into the holy place, with a bull for a sin gift and a ram for a burnt gift.

4 ي َنبَغِي أنْ يَرتَدِيَ المَلابِسَ الدّاخِلِيَّةَ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ، وَيَربِطَ حِزامَ الكِتّانِ حَولَهُ، وَيَضَعَ العِمامَةَ الكِتّانِيَّةَ عَلَى رَأسِهِ. هَذِهِ الثِّيابُ مُقَدَّسَةٌ. يَنبَغِي أنْ يَسْتَحِمَ بِالماءِ، وَبَعدَ ذَلِكَ يَرتَدِيها.

He will put on the holy linen coat. And the linen under-clothing will be next to his body. He will be wearing the linen belt and the linen head-covering. These are holy clothing. He will wash his body in water and then dress himself.

5 « يَأخُذَ هارُونَ مِنْ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ تَيسَينِ لِذَبِيحَةِ الخَطِيَّةِ وَكَبْشاً لِلذَّبيحَةِ الصّاعِدَةِ.

He will take from the people of Israel two male goats for a sin gift and one ram for a burnt gift.

6 ك َما يُقَدِّمُ هُوَ ثَورَ ذَبِيحَةِ الخَطِيَّةِ، فَيُكَفِّرُ عَنْ نَفسِهِ وَعَنْ عائِلَتِهِ.

Then Aaron will give the bull as a sin gift for himself, to pay for the sins of himself and those in his house.

7 ث ُمَّ يَأخُذُ التَّيسَينِ وَيُقَدِّمُهُما فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ عِندَ مَدخَلِ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ.

He will take the two goats and set them before the Lord at the door of the meeting tent.

8 و َيُلقِيَ هارُونُ قُرعَتَينِ عَلَى التَّيسَينِ: القُرعَةَ الأُولَى للهِ ، وَالقُرعَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ لِعَزازِيلَ.

Aaron will draw names for the two goats, choosing one for the Lord and the other to be sent away.

9 ث ُمَّ يُحضِرُ هارُونَ التَّيسَ الَّذِي اختِيرَ بِالقُرعَةِ للهِ ، وَيُقَدِّمُهُ ذَبيحَةَ خَطِيَّةٍ.

Then Aaron will bring the goat that was chosen for the Lord and give it as a sin gift.

10 و َأمّا التَّيسُ الَّذِي اختِيرَ بِالقُرعَةِ لِعَزازِيلَ، فَيُقَدَّمُ حَيّاً فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ. ثُمَّ يُرْسَلُ إلَى الصَّحْراءِ إلَى عَزازِيلَ لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنِ الشَّعبِ.

But the goat that was chosen to be sent away will be brought alive before the Lord, for the taking away of sin. And it will be sent into the desert.

11 « ثُمَّ يُقَدِّمُ هارُونُ الثَّورَ ذَبيحَةَ خَطِيَّةٍ لِنَفسِهِ، فَيُكَفِّرُ عَنْ نَفسِهِ وَعَنْ عائِلَتِهِ، وَيَذبَحُ ثَورَ ذَبِيحَةِ الخَطِيَّةِ لِنَفسِهِ.

“Then Aaron will give the bull as the sin gift for himself, to pay for the sins of himself and those in his house. He will kill the bull as the sin gift for himself.

12 ث ُمَّ يَأخُذُ مِبخَرَةً مَلِيئَةً بِالجَمرِ مِنَ المَذبَحِ الَّذِي فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ ، وَمِلءَ كَفَّيهِ مِنْ بَخُورٍ عَطِرٍ، وَيَدخُلُ بِهِما إلَى خَلفِ السِّتارَةِ.

He will take a fire pan full of fire from the altar before the Lord, and enough fine, ground, sweet perfume to fill two hands. And he will bring it inside the curtain.

13 و َيَضَعُ هارُونُ البَخُورَ عَلَى النّارِ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ لِيُغَطِّيَ دُخانُ البَخُورِ الغِطاءَ الَّذِي عَلَى صُندُوقِ الشَّهادَةِ لِئَلّا يَمُوتَ.

He will put the special perfume on the fire before the Lord so that the cloud of the special perfume covers the mercy-seat on the special box of the agreement or he will die.

14 ث ُمَّ يَأخُذُ مِنْ دَمِ الثَّورِ وَيَرُشُّهُ بِإصبَعِهِ عَلَى الغِطاءِ فِي الجِهَةِ الشَّرقِيَّةِ. يَرُشُّ مِنَ الدَّمِ سَبعَ مَرّاتٍ بِإصبَعِهِ أمامَ الغِطاءِ.

He will take some of the bull’s blood and put it with his finger on the east side of the mercy-seat. And with his finger he will put some of the blood seven times in front of the mercy-seat.

15 « ثُمَّ يَذبَحُ هارُونُ تَيسَ ذَبِيحَةِ الخَطِيَّةِ عَنِ الشَّعبِ. وَيُحضِرُ دَمَهُ إلَى خَلفِ السِّتارَةِ الدّاخِلِيِّةِ. وَيَعمَلُ بِدَمِهِ ما عَمِلَهُ بِدَمِ الثَّورِ، فَيَرُشُّهُ عَلَى الغِطاءِ مِنَ الجِهَةِ الأمامِيَّةِ.

“Then he will kill the goat as the sin gift for the people. He will bring its blood inside the curtain, and do the same with its blood as he did with the bull’s blood. He will put it on the seat and in front of the mercy-seat.

16 ه َكَذا يَصْنَعُ كَفّارَةً لِلمَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ مِنْ نَجاساتِ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ وَتَعَدِّياتِهِمْ وَكُلِّ خَطاياهُمْ. وَعَلَى هارُونَ أنْ يَفعَلَ ذَلِكَ أيضاً لِخَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ لِأنَّها وَسَطَ شَعبٍ نَجِسٍ.

He will make the holy place, and also the meeting tent which is in the center of the camp, clean and pure because all the sins of the people make them unclean.

17 « لا يَنبَغِي أنْ يَكُونَ أحَدٌ فِي خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ مُنْذُ دُخُولِ هارُونَ إلَى المَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ لِعَمَلِ كَفّارَةٍ لَهُ وَحَتَّى خُرُوجِهِ. فَيُكَفِّرُ هارُونُ عَنْ نَفسِهِ وَعَنْ عائِلَتِهِ وَكُلِّ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ.

When he goes in to pay for sins in the holy place, no one will be in the meeting tent until he comes out. He will pay for the sins of himself, of those in his house, and of all the people of Israel.

18 ث ُمَّ يَخرُجُ هارُونُ إلَى المَذبَحِ الَّذِي فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ ، وَيُكَفِّرُ عَنهُ. فَيَأخُذُ مِنْ دَمِ الثَّورِ وَدَمِ التَّيسِ وَيَضَعُهُ عَلَى زَوايا المَذبَحِ مِنْ كُلِّ الجِهاتِ.

Then he will go out to the altar before the Lord and make it clean and pure. He will take some of the bull’s blood and goat’s blood and put it on the horns of the altar on all sides.

19 ث ُمَّ يَرُشُّ بَعضَ الدَّمِ عَلَيهِ بِإصبَعِهِ سَبعَ مَرّاتٍ، فَيُطَهِّرُهُ مِنْ نَجاسَةِ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ وَيُقَدِّسُهُ.

With his finger he will put some of the blood on the altar seven times so it will be clean. He will set it apart from what is unclean among the people of Israel.

20 « وَحِينَ يَنتَهِي هارُونُ مِنْ عَمَلِ كَفّارَةٍ لِلمَقدِسِ وَخَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ وَالمَذبَحِ، يُحضِرُ التَّيسَ الحَيَّ.

“When he finishes making the holy place, the meeting tent and the altar free from sin, he will give the live goat.

21 و َيَضَعُ هارُونُ يَدَيهِ عَلَى رَأسِ التَّيسِ، وَيَعتَرِفُ فَوقَهُ بِكُلِّ شُرُورِ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ وَمَعاصِيهِمْ وَكُلِّ خَطاياهُمْ. وَبِهَذا فَإنَّ هارُونَ يَضَعُ هَذِهِ الخَطايا عَلَى رَأسِ التَّيسِ. ثُمَّ يُرسِلُ التَّيسَ إلَى الصَّحراءِ، وَالَّذِي سَيَقُودُهُ هُوَ رَجُلٌ سَبَقَ تَعيِينُهُ لِهَذا الأمرِ.

Aaron will lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and tell of all the sins and wrong-doings of the people of Israel. He will lay them upon the head of the goat and send it away into the desert by the hand of a man ready to help.

22 و َبِهَذا سَيَحمِلُ التَّيسُ عَلَيهِ كُلَّ خَطايا الشَّعبِ إلَى مِنْطَقَةٍ مَعزُولَةٍ مُقفِرَةٍ. سَيُطلِقُ الرَّجُلُ التَّيسَ فِي الصَّحراءِ.

The goat will carry upon itself all their sins to a land where no one lives. Then the man will let the goat go free there.

23 « ثُمَّ يَدخُلُ هارُونُ خَيمَةَ الاجْتِماعِ وَيَخلَعُ ثِيابَ الكِتّانِ الَّتِي ارتَداها حِينَ دَخَلَ إلَى المَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ، وَيَترُكُها هُناكَ.

“Aaron will come into the meeting tent. He will take off the linen clothing he put on when he went into the holy place. And he will leave them there.

24 ث ُمَّ يَغسِلُ جَسَدَهُ فِي مَكانٍ مُقَدَّسٍ، وَيَرتَدِي ثِياباً أُخْرَى، وَيَخرُجُ وَيُقَدِّمُ ذَبيحَتَهُ الصّاعِدَةَ وَذَبيحَةَ الشَّعبِ، وَيُكَفِّرُ عَنْ نَفسِهِ وَعَنِ الشَّعبِ.

He will wash his body with water in a holy place and put on his clothes. Then he will come out and give his burnt gift and the people’s burnt gift, to pay for the sins of himself and the people.

25 ث ُمَّ يُحرِقُ شَحمَ ذَبِيحَةِ الخَطِيَّةِ عَلَى المَذبَحِ.

He will burn the fat of the sin gift on the altar.

26 « أمّا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي أطلَقَ التَّيسَ إلَى عَزازِيلَ، فَيَنبَغِي أنْ يَغْسِلَ ثِيابَهُ وَيَستَحِمَّ بِماءٍ، ثُمَّ يُمكِنُهُ أنْ يَدخُلَ المُخَيَّمَ.

The man who let the goat carry away the sins will wash his clothes and wash his body with water. Then he may come among the tents.

27 « أمّا ثَورُ ذَبِيحَةِ الخَطِيَّةِ وَتَيسُ ذَبِيحَةِ الخَطِيَّةِ، اللّذانِ أُحضِرَ دَمُهُما إلَى المَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ لِلتَّكفِيرِ، فَيُؤخَذا إلَى خارِجِ المُخَيَّمِ، وَيُحرَقُ جِلدُهُما وَلَحمُهُما وَرَوثُهُما فِي النّارِ.

The bull and the goat for the sin gift, whose blood was brought in to pay for sins in the holy place, will be taken away from the tents. Their skin, their flesh and their waste will be burned with fire.

28 و َالَّذِي يَحرِقُهُما يَنبَغِي أنْ يَغسِلَ ثِيابَهُ وَيَستَحِمَّ بِماءٍ، ثُمَّ يُمكِنُهُ أنْ يَدخُلَ المُخَيَّمَ.

Whoever burns them will wash his clothes and wash his body with water. Then he may come among the tents.

29 « هَذِهِ شَرِيعَةٌ دائِمَةٌ لَكُمْ: فِي اليَومِ العاشِرِ مِنَ الشَّهرِ السّابِعِ، تَتَذَلِّلُونَ بِالصَّومِ، وَلا تَعْمَلُونَ أيَّ عَمَلٍ. هَذا يَنطَبِقُ عَلَى المُواطِنِ وَعَلَى الغَرِيبِ الَّذِي يُقِيمُ بَينَكُمْ.

“This will be a Law forever for you. On the tenth day of the seventh month, you must get rid of your pride and not do any work, both those who live in the land and those who visit from another land.

30 ف ِي هَذا اليَومِ، يَعمَلُ رَئِيسُ الكَهَنَةِ كَفّارَةً لَكُمْ لِتَطهِيرِكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ خَطاياكُمْ، فَتَكُونُونَ طاهِرِينَ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ.

For on this day your sin will be taken away and you will be clean. You will be made free from all your sins before the Lord.

31 ه َذا يَومُ راحَةٍ لَكُمْ، عَلَيكُمْ فِيهِ أنْ تُذَلِّلُوا أنفُسَكُمْ بِالصَّومِ. هَذِهِ شَرِيعَةٌ دائِمَةٌ لَكُمْ.

It is to be a special Day of Rest for you, that you may be free from pride. It is a Law forever.

32 « عَلَى الكاهِنِ الَّذِي يَتِمُّ اختِيارُهُ لِيَكُونَ رَئِيسَ الكَهَنَةِ، وَالمُعَيَّنَ مَكانَ أبِيهِ، أنْ يَعمَلَ الكَفّارَةَ لَكُمْ. فَيَرتَدِي الثِّيابَ الكِتّانِيَّةَ الخاصَّةَ بالمَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ.

The chosen religious leader who is set apart to work as religious leader in his father’s place will pay for the sin. He will put on the holy linen clothing

33 و َيُطَهِّرُ المَكانَ المُقَدَّسَ وَخَيمَةَ الاجْتِماعِ وَالمَذبَحَ وَالكَهَنَةَ وَكُلَّ الشَّعبِ.

and make the holy place, the meeting tent and the altar free from sin. He will make the religious leaders and all the people free from sin also.

34 س َتَكُونُ هَذِهِ شَرِيعَةً دائِمَةً لَكُمْ لِلتَّكفِيرِ عَنْ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ مِنْ خَطاياهُمْ مَرَّةً فِي السَّنَةِ.» فَعَمِلَ هارُونُ بِحَسَبِ أمرِ اللهِ لِمُوسَى.

This will be a Law forever for you. The people of Israel must be made free from all their sins once a year.” And Moses did what the Lord told him to do.
