Leviticus 5

Book

Wen Guilt Come Show for Light

To keep quiet when dem call you to testify, to touch wetin no clean, to swear oath anyhow — each one need confession and offering, wey dem arrange so dat poverty no go ever block forgiveness: lamb, or two birds, or ordinary flour. If person tiff holy tins, e go pay di value plus one fifth.

Chapter 5.

"If person sin becos e hear public call to testify, and e be witness, wey see or sabi di matter, but e keep quiet, e go carry im own guilt.

"Or if person touch any unclean thing wey e no know—one carcass, unclean bush animal, unclean animal for house, or unclean creature wey dey crawl—e go come dey unclean and guilty.

"Or if e touch human uncleanness—any uncleanness wey dey make person unclean—wey e no know, den later e come sabi am, e don guilty.

"Or if person swear oath anyhow to do bad or good—any kind wey people dey swear anyhow—and e hide from am, wen e come realize am, e don guilty for any of dis ones. Wen person guilty for any of dis matters, e must confess di sin wey e commit. E must bring our Papa penalty offering for di sin wey e commit—one female from di flock, lamb or goat—as sin offering; di priest go atone for im sin.

"If e no fit afford lamb, e must bring our Papa two turtledove or two young pigeon as penalty for im sin—one as sin offering, di oda one as burnt offering. E go bring dem come meet di priest, wey go present di sin offering first, dey wring im head for di neck but no separate am. E go sprinkle small blood from di sin offering for di side of di altar; di rest go drain for im base. Na sin offering. Di second bird e go offer as burnt offering, follow di rule. Di priest go atone for im sin, and dem go forgive am.

"But if e no fit afford two dove or two young pigeon, e must bring two quart of fine flour as im sin offering—no oil or incense on top am, becos na sin offering. E must bring am come meet di priest, wey go take one handful as im memorial portion and burn am for di altar on top di fire offerings of our Papa. Na sin offering. Di priest go atone for am for any of dis sins wey e commit, and dem go forgive am; di rest go belong to di priest, like di grain offering."

Our Papa Dey Restore Di Person Wey No Faithful

Den our Papa tell Moses,

"If person no faithful and e sin by mistake against any of di holy things of our Papa, e must bring our Papa one ram wey no get any defect from di flock as im guilt offering, wey dem value for silver by weight follow di sanctuary standard—na guilt offering. a a v15 Di guilt offering no just require sacrifice, but repayment for di wrong wey dem do. Isaiah later call di suffering servant imsef guilt offering (Isaiah 53:10) — Jesus na di one wey pay our debt and give imsef for am. E must pay back for di holy thing wey e sin against, add one-fifth on top, and give am to di priest. Di priest go atone for am with di guilt-offering ram, and dem go forgive am.

"If person sin, dey do wetin our Papa command say make dem no do, even wey e no know, e don guilty and e go carry im own wrongdoing. E must bring di priest one ram wey no get blemish from di flock, for di value wey dem assess, as guilt offering; di priest go atone for im sin wey e no know, and dem go forgive am. Na guilt offering; true-true e don guilty before our Papa."
