1"Bhikkhus, for one with concealed actions one of two destinations is to be expected: hell or the animal realm. [n.244] Mp interprets "concealed action" (paṭicchannakamma) simply as a bad deed, explaining that even if a bad deed is not concealed, it is still called a concealed action. However, it seems that confessing one's bad deed and making amends for it would mitigate its negative force. See Dhp 173: "One who has committed a bad deed but covers it up with good illumines this world like the moon freed from a cloud."

2"For one with unconcealed actions one of two destinations is to be expected: the deva realm or the human realm."
