OET interlinear LEV 5:15

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-poetry

תִמְעֹ֣ל מַ֔עַל

commits trespass

Here, a verb and its object come from the same root. The phrase he trespasses translates a verb that is related to the noun translated as trespass. The repetition of related words adds emphasis to the statement. If your language can repeat words for emphasis and your language has comparable terms that you can use in your own translation, it would be appropriate to use that construction here in your translation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠חָֽטְאָה֙ בִּ⁠שְׁגָגָ֔ה מִ⁠קָּדְשֵׁ֖י יְהוָ֑ה

and,sins in/on/at/with,unintentional_wrong in_regard_to,holy_things_of YHWH

The expression sins by mistake from the holy things of Yahweh implies unintentionally violation of Yahweh’s commands regarding the proper treatment of the sacred space and the sacred objects related to the worship of Yahweh. If it would be helpful, consider making this explicit. Alternate translation: [and he sins by mistake with regard to Yahweh’s commandments about how to behave in the sacred space and handle the sacred objects consecrated to Yahweh]

וְ⁠חָֽטְאָה֙ בִּ⁠שְׁגָגָ֔ה

and,sins in/on/at/with,unintentional_wrong

See how you translated the similar expression in [4:2](../04/02.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠הֵבִיא֩ אֶת־אֲשָׁמ֨⁠וֹ לַֽ⁠יהוָ֜ה

and,bring DOM guilt_offering_of,his to/for=YHWH

Here, to bring the required sacrifice to Yahweh implies transporting the sacrifice to the altar that is located at the entrance of the tent of meeting, as described with the other sacrificial processes in the previous chapters. Because the tent of meeting was where Yahweh lived among the Israelites, taking the offering to the altar is considered the same as bringing it directly to Yahweh himself. If it would be helpful in your language, consider making this explicit. Alternate translation: [then he shall bring his guilt to the altar that is located inside the tent of meeting, where Yahweh lives among the Israelites]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠הֵבִיא֩ אֶת־אֲשָׁמ֨⁠וֹ

and,bring DOM guilt_offering_of,his

Here Leviticus is referring to the sacrifice as his guilt by association with the way that the sacrifice is required to atone for the person’s guilt. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [then he shall bring the sacrifice required to seek atonement for his guilt]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

מִן־הַ⁠צֹּ֗אן

from/more_than the,flock

See how you translated this expression in [5:6](../05/06.md).

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּ⁠עֶרְכְּ⁠ךָ֛

in/on/at/with,valuation_of,your

The expression in your valuation refers to the process of determining the monetary value of the ram described in this verse through the use of weights, using the shekel of the holy place as a base measurement. If it would be helpful in your language, consider stating this plainly. Alternate translation: [along with your assessment of the value of the ram in silver]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

בְּ⁠עֶרְכְּ⁠ךָ֛

in/on/at/with,valuation_of,your

Even though Yahweh is speaking to a group of people, the pronoun you is singular in this verse. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation.

Note 9 topic: translate-bmoney

בְּ⁠עֶרְכְּ⁠ךָ֛ כֶּֽסֶף־שְׁקָלִ֥ים בְּ⁠שֶֽׁקֶל־הַ⁠קֹּ֖דֶשׁ

in/on/at/with,valuation_of,your silver_of shekels in/on/at/with,shekel_of the,sanctuary

The silver shekel that was used in the holy place was an ancient measurement of the weight of silver that functioned as a currency, equivalent to approximately 10 grams or two-fifths of an ounce of silver. You could try to express this amount in terms of the current monetary value of silver, but that might cause your translation to become outdated and inaccurate since those values can change over time. Instead, consider using a generic phrase. Alternate translation: [in your valuation, the standard weight of silver that is used by the priests in the holy place]
