English Explanation of Mishnah Shevuot
And they are liable for intentional transgression of the oath, and for its unintentional transgression coupled with intentional [denial of knowledge of] testimony, but they are not liable for unintentional transgression.
And what are they liable for the intentional transgression of the oath? A sliding scale sacrifice.
This mishnah continues the lists we have seen in the previous three mishnayoth.
There are two elements to the false oath of testimony: 1) knowing information and intentionally withholding it; 2) intentionally swearing falsely that one does not know the information. The mishnah teaches that if the witnesses intentionally deny knowledge of the testimony, even if they don’t realize that swearing falsely is forbidden, they are liable for intentionally swearing falsely. However, if they don’t realize that they know information then they are not liable, since this was a totally unintentional transgression. In other words, there punishment hinges upon their intentional denial of knowledge of information. If they intentionally withheld information and swore to it, then they are liable to bring a sliding scale sacrifice, as described in Leviticus 5:5-13.

German Commentary
weil man dafür ein auf- und absteigendes Sündopfer. ein Sündopfer, das je nach dem Vermögen steigt oder fällt, der Vermögende bringt ein weibliches Schaf oder eine Ziege, der Arme zwei Tauben, der noch Ärmere ein Zehntel Efa Mehl (Lev. 5, 5—18).
Bartenura
כפרו בב"ד חייבין על כל אחת ואחת – as the Biblical verse states (Leviticus 5:5): “When he realizes his guilt in any of these matters,[he shall confess that wherein he has sinned],” to be liable for each and every one.
