The Day of Atonement

¹Now the Lord spoke to Moses after ⚓the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered profane fire before the Lord, and died; ²and the Lord said to Moses: “Tell Aaron your brother ⚓not to come at just any time into the Holy Place inside the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark, lest he die; for ⚓I will appear in the cloud above the mercy seat.
³“Thus Aaron shall ⚓come into the Holy Place: ⚓with the blood of a young bull as a sin offering, and of a ram as a burnt offering. ⁴He shall put the ⚓holy linen tunic and the linen trousers on his body; ⚓he shall be girded with a linen sash, and with the linen turban he shall be attired. These are holy garments. Therefore he shall wash his body in water, and put them on. ⁵And he shall take from ⚓the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats as a sin offering, and one ram as a burnt offering.
⁶“Aaron shall offer the bull as a sin offering, which is for himself, and ⚓make atonement for himself and for his house. ⁷He shall take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. ⁸Then Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for the Lord and the other lot for the scapegoat. ⁹And Aaron shall bring the goat on which the Lord’s lot fell, and offer it as a sin offering. ¹⁰But the goat on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make ⚓atonement upon it, and to let it go as the scapegoat into the wilderness.
¹¹“And Aaron shall bring the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for ⚓himself and for his house, and shall kill the bull as the sin offering which is for himself. ¹²Then he shall take ⚓a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar before the Lord, with his hands full of ⚓sweet incense beaten fine, and bring it inside the veil. ¹³⚓And he shall put the incense on the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of incense may cover the ⚓mercy seat that is on the Testimony, lest he ⚓die. ¹⁴⚓He shall take some of the blood of the bull and ⚓sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east side; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
¹⁵⚓“Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, which is for the people, bring its blood ⚓inside the veil, do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and before the mercy seat. ¹⁶So he shall ⚓make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, for all their sins; and so he shall do for the tabernacle of meeting which remains among them in the midst of their uncleanness. ¹⁷There shall be ⚓no man in the tabernacle of meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, that he may make atonement for himself, for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel. ¹⁸And he shall go out to the altar that is before the Lord, and make atonement for ⚓it, and shall take some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat, and put it on the horns of the altar all around. ¹⁹Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, cleanse it, and ⚓consecrate it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
²⁰“And when he has made an end of atoning for the Holy Place, the tabernacle of meeting, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat. ²¹Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, ⚓confess over it all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, concerning all their sins, ⚓putting them on the head of the goat, and shall send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a suitable man. ²²The goat shall ⚓bear on itself all their iniquities to an uninhabited land; and he shall ⚓release the goat in the wilderness.
²³“Then Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of meeting, ⚓shall take off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and shall leave them there. ²⁴And he shall wash his body with water in a holy place, put on his garments, come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people. ²⁵⚓The fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar. ²⁶And he who released the goat as the scapegoat shall wash his clothes ⚓and bathe his body in water, and afterward he may come into the camp. ²⁷⚓The bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried outside the camp. And they shall burn in the fire their skins, their flesh, and their offal. ²⁸Then he who burns them shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and afterward he may come into the camp.
²⁹“This shall be a statute forever for you: ⚓In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether a native of your own country or a stranger who dwells among you. ³⁰For on that day the priest shall make atonement for you, to ⚓cleanse you, that you may be clean from all your sins before the Lord. ³¹⚓It is a sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall afflict your souls. It is a statute forever. ³²⚓And the priest, who is anointed and ⚓consecrated to minister as priest in his father’s place, shall make atonement, and put on the linen clothes, the holy garments; ³³then he shall make atonement for the Holy Sanctuary, and he shall make atonement for the tabernacle of meeting and for the altar, and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly. ³⁴⚓This shall be an everlasting statute for you, to make atonement for the children of Israel, for all their sins, ⚓once a year.” And he did as the Lord commanded Moses.

³“Tiamsis Aloo yuav nkag tau rau hauv chav uas dawb huv kawg nkaus raws li no. Nws yuav muab ib tug thav txiv nyuj ua kevcai daws txim thiab muab ib tug txiv yaj ua kevcai hlawv xyeem. ⁴Nws yuav hnav lub tsho ntaub mag uas dawb huv thiab hnav ris ntaub mag, thiab sia siv ntaub mag thiab ntoo phuam ntaub mag. No yog tej tsoos meej mom dawb huv. Nws yuav tsum da dej li hnav. ⁵Thiab nws yuav muab ob tug txiv tshis ntawm ib tsoom Yixayee ua kevcai daws txim thiab muab ib tug txiv yaj ua kevcai hlawv xyeem.
⁶“Thiab Aloo yuav muab tus thav txiv nyuj xyeem ua kevcai daws nws tus kheej li txim thiab ntxuav nws thiab nws tsev neeg li kev txhaum txim. ⁷Mas nws yuav coj ob tug txiv tshis los tso rau ntawm lub qhov rooj tsev ntaub sib ntsib rau ntawm Yawmsaub xubntiag. ⁸Aloo yuav muab ob tug tshis ntawd rho ntawv, ib tug rho rau Yawmsaub ib tug rho rau Axaxee.⚓ ⁹Tus tshis uas rho tau rau Yawmsaub ntawd Aloo yuav coj los muab xyeem ua kevcai daws txim. ¹⁰Tiamsis tus tshis uas rho tau ntawv rau Axaxee ntawd yuav muab xyeem ciaj rau ntawm Yawmsaub xubntiag ua kevcai ntxuav kev txhaum, kom thiaj muab kev txhaum sau rau tus tshis ntawd xa mus rau tebchaws moj sab qhua pub rau Axaxee.
¹¹“Aloo yuav coj tus thav txiv nyuj tuaj ua kevcai xyeem daws nws thiab nws tsev neeg li txim. Nws yuav muab tus txiv nyuj tua daws nws li txim. ¹²Nws yuav muab lub yias rau ncaig taws cig cig ntawm lub thaj uas nyob ntawm Yawmsaub xubntiag thiab ob taus tes hmoov tshuaj tsw qab uas tuav mos mos lawm los, coj mus rau chav sab hauv daim ntaub uas thaiv. ¹³Nws yuav muab cov hmoov tshuaj tsw qab ntawd hlawv rau ntawm Yawmsaub xubntiag mas cov pa tshuaj tsw qab yuav ncho auv lub hau uas roos kev txhaum uas nyob saum lub phij xab uas ntim Yawmsaub tej lus xwv nws thiaj tsis tuag. ¹⁴Nws yuav muab cov ntshav txiv nyuj ib qho los thiab xuas nws ntiv tes nchos rau ntawm lub hau phij xab uas roos kev txhaum sab xubntiag, thiab yuav xuas ntiv tes muab nchos rau lub hau phij xab sab tom hauv ntej xya zaus.
¹⁵“Thiab Aloo yuav tua tus tshis uas xyeem ua kevcai daws cov pejxeem li txim thiab yuav coj cov ntshav mus rau chav sab hauv daim ntaub uas thaiv, thiab muab cov ntshav tshis ua ib yam nkaus li cov ntshav txiv nyuj, yog muab nchos rau saum lub hau phij xab uas roos kev txhaum thiab muab nchos rau lub hau phij xab sab tom hauv ntej. ¹⁶Ua li no nws thiaj ua kevcai ntxuav tau tej kev qias tsis huv ntawm chav uas dawb huv kawg nkaus vim cov Yixayee tej kev qias tsis huv, thiab lawv tej kev fav xeeb thiab lawv tej kev txhaum huvsi. Nws yuav ua li no rau lub tsev ntaub sib ntsib uas nyob hauv nruab nrab cov neeg uas qias tsis huv. ¹⁷Tsis txhob kheev leejtwg nyob hauv lub tsev ntaub sib ntsib rau thaum Aloo nkag mus rau hauv chav uas dawb huv kawg nkaus es ua kevcai ntxuav tej kev qias tsis huv mus txog thaum nws ua kevcai ntxuav nws thiab nws tsev neeg thiab ib tsoom Yixayee sawvdaws li txim tag. ¹⁸Mas nws li tawm mus rau ntawm lub thaj uas nyob ntawm Yawmsaub xubntiag thiab ua kevcai ntxuav tej kev qias tsis huv rau lub thaj. Nws yuav muab ntshav txiv nyuj thiab ntshav tshis ib qho los pleev plaub tug kub uas nyob puag ncig ntawm lub thaj. ¹⁹Thiab nws yuav xuas ntiv tes nchos cov ntshav ib txhia rau lub thaj xya zaus, thiaj ua kevcai ntxuav tau lub thaj tu kom dawb huv ntawm cov Yixayee tej kev qias tsis huv.
²⁰“Thaum nws ua kevcai ntxuav tej kev qias tsis huv rau chav uas dawb huv kawg nkaus thiab rau lub tsev ntaub sib ntsib thiab rau lub thaj tag lawm, nws yuav xyeem tus tshis uas tseem ciaj. ²¹Aloo yuav muab nws ob txhais tes tso rau saum tus tshis uas tseem ciaj lub taubhau, thiab yuav lees cov Yixayee sawvdaws tej kev phem kev qias thiab lawv tej kev fav xeeb huvsi thiab lawv tej kev txhaum huvsi, mas nws yuav muab tej ntawd huvsi tso rau saum tus tshis ntawd taubhau mas nws yuav kom tus uas npaj cia lawm xa tus tshis mus rau tom tebchaws moj sab qhua. ²²Tus tshis yuav ris tej kev phem kev qias huvsi mus rau lub tebchaws uas tsis muaj neeg nyob. Ces tus uas xa yuav muab tus tshis tso rau hauv tebchaws moj sab qhua.
²³“Ces Aloo li nkag rau hauv lub tsev ntaub sib ntsib thiab yuav hle tej tsoos ntaub mag uas nws hnav rau thaum uas mus rau chav uas dawb huv kawg nkaus, mas muab cia rau qhov ntawd. ²⁴Thiab nws yuav da dej hauv ib lub chaw uas dawb huv thiab hnav nws cev tsoos tsho li tawm los. Nws yuav xyeem tej uas nws muab ua kevcai hlawv xyeem thiab tej uas cov pejxeem muab ua kevcai hlawv xyeem thiaj ua kevcai ntxuav nws tus kheej thiab cov pejxeem tej kev txhaum txim. ²⁵Nws yuav muab tus tsiaj uas tua ua kevcai daws txim tej roj hlawv rau saum lub thaj. ²⁶Tus uas xa tus tshis mus rau Axaxee^l ntawd yuav tsum ntxhua nws cev ris tsho thiab da dej, mas nws li los tau rau hauv lub zos. ²⁷Yuav coj tus txiv nyuj thiab tus tshis uas xyeem ua kevcai daws txim uas Aloo coj cov ntshav los ua kevcai ntxuav kev qias tsis huv rau chav uas dawb huv kawg nkaus ntawd mus rau sab nraum ntug zos. Mas luag yuav muab tej tawv thiab tej nqaij thiab tej plab hnyuv hlawv kub hnyiab tag. ²⁸Tus uas muab tej ntawd hlawv yuav ntxhua nws cev ris tsho thiab da dej nws li los tau rau hauv lub zos.
²⁹“No yuav ua kevcai rau nej coj mus ib txhis li, hnub xiab kaum lub xya hli nej yuav tswj nej lub siab⚓ thiab tsis txhob ua ib yam haujlwm dabtsi, tsis hais nej cov uas yug hauv lub tebchaws thiab lwm haiv neeg uas nrog nej nyob. ³⁰Rau qhov hnub no yog hnub uas ua kevcai ntxuav nej tej kev txhaum txim thiab ntxuav nej. Nej thiaj hauv ntawm nej tej kev txhaum huvsi rau ntawm Yawmsaub xubntiag. ³¹Hnub no yog ib hnub Xanpatau uas nej yuav tsum caiv so tiag tiag li. Nej yuav tsum tswj nej lub siab. No yog txoj kevcai uas nyob mus ib txhis. ³²Tus pov thawj uas raug muab roj hliv ywg tsa ua dawb huv sawv nws txiv chaw ua pov thawj hlob nws yog tus uas yuav ua txoj kevcai ntxuav no thiab hnav tsoos tsho ntaub mag dawb huv. ³³Nws yuav ua kevcai ntxuav kev qias tsis huv rau chav uas dawb huv kawg nkaus thiab yuav ua kevcai ntxuav rau lub tsev ntaub sib ntsib thiab lub thaj thiab yuav ua kevcai ntxuav cov pov thawj thiab ib tsoom pejxeem sawvdaws tej kev txhaum txim.
³⁴“No yuav ua kevcai rau nej coj mus ib txhis kom ua kevcai ntxuav cov Yixayee ib xyoos ib zaug vim tim lawv tej kev txhaum huvsi.” Mauxe kuj ua raws li Yawmsaub hais rau nws.
