Aaron aber sprach zu Mose: Siehe, heute haben sie ihr Sündopfer und ihr Brandopfer vor dem HERRN geopfert, und es ist mir also gegangen, wie du siehst; und ich sollte essen heute vom Sündopfer? Sollte das dem HERRN gefallen?
Y respondió Aarón a Moisés: He aquí hoy han ofrecido su expiación y su holocausto delante de Jehová: pero me han acontecido estas cosas: pues si comiera yo hoy de la expiación, ¿Hubiera sido acepto a Jehová?
Aarón respondió a Moisés: «Hoy han presentado su ofrenda por el pecado y su holocausto delante de Jehová, pero a mí me han sucedido estas cosas. Si hubiera comido hoy la ofrenda por el pecado, ¿le habría agradado a Jehová?».
Aaron dit à Moïse: Voici, ils ont offert aujourd'hui leur sacrifice d'expiation et leur holocauste devant l'Eternel; et, après ce qui m'est arrivé, si j'eusse mangé aujourd'hui la victime expiatoire, cela aurait-il été bien aux yeux de l'Eternel?
E Aaronne disse a Mosè: Ecco, essi hanno oggi offerto il loro sacrificio per lo peccato, e il loro olocausto, davanti al Signore; e cotali cose mi sono avvenute; se dunque io avessi oggi mangiato del sacrificio per lo peccato, sarebbe ciò piaciuto al Signore?
Então disse Arão a Moisés: Eis que hoje ofereceram a sua expiação pelo pecado e o seu holocausto perante o SENHOR, e tais coisas me sucederam; se hoje tivesse comido da oferta da expiação pelo pecado, seria isso porventura aceito aos olhos do SENHOR?
亞倫 對 摩西 說:「看哪,他們今天在耶和華面前獻上贖罪祭和燔祭,但是我卻遭遇這樣的災難。我若今天吃這贖罪祭,耶和華豈能看為美呢?」
