عَدَد 5

١ 1 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying: —

٢ 2 «أَوْصِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْزِلُوا مِنَ الْمُخَيَّمِ كُلَّ أَبْرَصَ، وَكُلَّ مَرِيضٍ بِالسَّيَلانِ، وَكُلَّ مَنْ يَتَنَجَّسُ بِلَمْسِ مَيْتٍ.

Command the sons of Israel, that they send forth out of the camp, every leper, and every one that hath a flux, —and every one that is unclean by the dead:

٣ 3 اعْزِلُوهُمْ إِلَى خَارِجِ الْمُخَيَّمِ سَوَاءٌ كَانَ رَجُلاً أَمِ امْرَأَةً لِئَلّا يُنَجِّسُوا مُخَيَّمَهُمْ، حَيْثُ أَنَا سَاكِنٌ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ».

whether male or female, ye shall send them forth, unto the outside of the camp, shall ye send them, —that they make not their camps unclean, in the midst whereof, I, have my habitation.

٤ 4 فَنَفَّذَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ الأَمْرَ، وَعَزَلُوهُمْ إِلَى خَارِجِ الْمُخَيَّمِ، طِبْقاً لِمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

And the sons of Israel did so, and sent them forth unto the outside of the camp, —as Yahweh spake unto Moses, so, did the sons of Israel.

٥ 5 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

٦ 6 «أَوْصِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِذَا ارْتَكَبَ رَجُلٌ أَوِ امْرَأَةٌ خَطِيئَةَ السَّرِقَةِ وَخَانَ الرَّبَّ، فَقَد أَذْنَبَتْ تِلْكَ النَّفْسُ،

Speak unto the sons of Israel: When any man or woman, shall do aught of any human sin, in acting unfaithfully against Yahweh, —and that person shall become aware of his guilt,

٧ 7 وَعَلَيْهَا أَنْ تَعْتَرِفَ بِخَطِيئَتِهَا الَّتِي اقْتَرَفَتْهَا، وَتَرُدَّ مَا أَذْنَبَتْ بِهِ، بَعْدَ أَنْ تُضِيفَ عَلَيْهِ خُمْسَهُ وَتَدْفَعَهُ لِمَنْ أَذْنَبَتْ بِحَقِّهِ.

then shall they confess their sin which they have done, and he shall make good that wherein he is guilty, in the principal thereof, and the fifth part thereof, shall he add thereunto, —and give to him against whom he is guilty,

٨ 8 وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِلرَّجُلِ الْمَسْرُوقِ، إِذَا مَاتَ، وَلِيٌّ يُرَدُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَسْرُوقُ، فَلْيَكُنِ الْمَسْرُوقُ لِلرَّبِّ. يَأْخُذُهُ الْكَاهِنُ لِنَفْسِهِ، فَضْلاً عَنْ كَبْشِ الْكَفَّارَةِ الَّذِي يُكَفِّرُ بِهِ عَنْهُ.

But if one have no kinsman unto whom he may make good that wherein he is guilty, then that wherein he is guilty, which is to be restored to Yahweh, shall be the priest’s, —besides the ram of propitiation, wherewith a propitiatory-covering is to be put over him.

٩ 9 وَتَكُونُ كُلُّ التَّقْدِمَاتِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ الَّتِي يُقَرِّبُهَا الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ لِلْكَاهِنِ نَصِيباً لَهُ.

And every heave-offering, of all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel which they bring near to the priest, unto him, shall it belong.

١٠ 10 وَكَذَلِكَ أَقْدَاسُ الإِنْسَانِ تَكُونُ لَهُ. وَإذَا أَعْطَى إِنْسَانٌ شَيْئاً لِلْكَاهِنِ فَلَهُ يَكُونُ».

And, every man’s hallowed things, shall be, his own, —what any man giveth to the priest, shall be his.

١١ 11 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:

١٢ 12 «أَوْصِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: إِذَا ضَلَّتْ زَوْجَةٌ وَخَانَتْ زَوْجَهَا

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, —When any man’s wife, shall turn aside, and commit against him an act of unfaithfulness;

١٣ 13 بِزِنَاهَا مَعَ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ، وَخَفِيَ الأَمْرُ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا، وَلَمْ يَقُمْ عَلَيْهَا دَلِيلٌ وَلَمْ يُقْبَضْ عَلَيْهَا مُتَلَبِّسَةً بِزِنَاهَا.

and a man shall lie with her carnally, and it shall be concealed from the eyes of her husband and be kept close but, she, hath committed uncleanness, —though witness, there is none against her, and she, hath not been caught;

١٤ 14 وَإذَا اعْتَرَتْ زَوْجَهَا الْغَيْرَةُ وَارْتَابَ بِزَوْجَتِهِ وَكَانَتْ نَجِسَةً، أَوْ غَارَ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ مَعَ أَنَّهَا طَاهِرَةٌ.

but there shall pass over him a spirit of jealousy, and he shall become jealous of his wife, she having committed uncleanness, —or there shall pass over him a spirit of jealousy, and he shall become jealous of his wife, she not, having committed uncleanness,

١٥ 15 فَلْيُحْضِرِ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ إِلَى الْكَاهِنِ، وَيَأْتِ مَعَهُ بِقُرْبَانِهَا عُشْرِ الإِيفَةِ (نَحْوَ لِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ اللِّتْرِ) مِنْ دَقِيقِ الشَّعِيرِ. لَا يَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ زَيْتاً، وَلا يَضَعُ عَلَيْهِ لُبَاناً، لأَنَّهُ تَقْدِمَةُ غَيْرَةٍ، تَقْدِمَةُ تَذْكِرَةٍ تُذَكِّرُ بِذَنْبٍ.

then shall the man bring in his wife unto the priest, and shall bring in her offering for her, the tenth of an ephah of the meal of barley, —he shall not pour thereon oil, nor put thereon frankincense, for a jealousy gift, it is, a reminding gift bringing to mind iniquity.

١٦ 16 فَيَجْعَلُ الْكَاهِنُ الزَّوْجَةَ تَمْثُلُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ،

Then shall the priest bring her near, —and cause her to stand before Yahweh;

١٧ 17 ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ مَاءً مُقَدَّساً فِي إِنَاءٍ مِنْ خَزَفٍ وَيَلْتَقِطُ بَعْضَ غُبَارِ أَرْضِ الْمَسْكَنِ وَيَضَعُهُ فِي الْمَاءِ.

and the priest shall take hallowed water in an earthen vessel, —and of the dust which shall be upon the floor of the habitation, shall the priest take, and put into the water;

١٨ 18 وَيَكْشِفُ رَأْسَ الزَّوْجَةِ، وَيَضَعُ فِي يَدَيْهَا تَقْدِمَةَ التَّذْكَارِ الَّتِي هِيَ تَقْدِمَةُ الْغَيْرَةِ، وَيَحْمِلُ الْكَاهِنُ بِيَدِهِ مَاءَ اللَّعْنَةِ الْمُرَّ.

and the priest shall cause the woman to stand before Yahweh, and shall bare the head of the woman, and shall place upon her hands the reminding gift, it being a jealousy gift, —and in the hand of the priest, shall be the deadly water that bringeth a curse;

١٩ 19 وَيَسْتَحْلِفُ الْكَاهِنُ الْمَرْأَةَ قَائِلاً لَهَا: إِنْ كَانَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ لَمْ يُضَاجِعْكِ، وَلَمْ تَخُونِي زَوْجَكِ، فَأَنْتِ بَرِيئَةٌ مِنْ مَاءِ اللَّعْنَةِ الْمُرِّ هَذَا.

and the priest shall put her on oath and shall say unto the woman: —If no man hath lain with thee, and if thou hast not turned aside in uncleanness, [unto another] instead of thy husband, be thou clear from this deadly water that causeth a curse.

٢٠ 20 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتِ قَدْ خُنْتِ زَوْجَكِ وَتَنَجَّسْتِ بِمُضَاجَعَةِ رَجُلٍ غَيْرِهِ.

But, if, thou, hast turned aside, [to another] instead of thy husband and if thou hast made thyself unclean, —in that a man hath known thee carnally, other than thy husband,

٢١ 21 فَلْيَجْعَلِ الرَّبُّ لَعْنَةَ شَعْبِكِ عَلَيْكِ، فَيَتَبَرَّأُوا مِنْكِ عِنْدَمَا يَجْعَلُ الرَّبُّ فَخْذَكِ يَذْوِي وَبَطْنَكِ يَتَوَرَّمُ.

then shall the priest put the woman on oath with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, Yahweh give thee up for a curse and for an oath in the midst of thy people, —in that Yahweh shall give up thy thigh to fall away, and thy womb to swell:

٢٢ 22 وَلْيَدْخُلْ مَاءُ اللَّعْنَةِ هَذَا فِي أَحْشَائِكِ لِيُسَبِّبَ وَرَماً لِبَطْنِكِ، وَلْيَذْوِ فَخْذُكِ. فَتَقُولُ الْمَرْأَةُ: آمِين. آمِين».

so shall this water that causeth a curse enter into thy body, causing womb to swell and thigh to fall away. And the woman shall say, Amen, Amen.

٢٣ 23 «ثُمَّ يُدَوِّنُ الْكَاهِنُ هَذِهِ اللَّعَنَاتِ فِي دَرْجٍ وَيَمْحُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ الْمُرِّ؛

Then shall the priest write these curses in a scroll, —and wipe them out into the deadly water;

٢٤ 24 وَيَسْقِي الْمَرْأَةَ مَاءَ اللَّعْنَةِ الْمُرَّ الَّذِي مَحَا بِهِ اللَّعْنَاتِ فَيَدْخُلُ فِيهَا مَاءُ اللَّعْنَةِ لِيُسَبِّبَ لَهَا آلامَ الْمَرَارَةِ.

and shall cause the woman to drink the deadly water that causeth a curse, —and the deadly water that causeth a curse shall enter into her.

٢٥ 25 ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ الْكَاهِنُ مِنْ يَدِ الْمَرْأَةِ تَقْدِمَةَ الْغَيْرَةِ، وَيُرَجِّحُهَا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، ثُمَّ يُقَدِّمُهَا إِلَى الْمَذْبَحِ.

Then shall the priest take from the hand of the woman the jealousy meal-offering, —and shall wave the meal-offering before Yahweh, and bring it near unto the altar;

٢٦ 26 وَيَتَنَاوَلُ مِلْءَ قَبْضَتِهِ مِنْهَا وَيُحْرِقُهُ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَسْقِي الْمَرْأَةَ الْمَاءَ.

and the priest shall take a handful from the meal-offering, a remembrancer thereof, and make a perfume at the altar, —and afterwards, shall cause the woman to drink the water.

٢٧ 27 فَإِنْ كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ قَدْ تَنَجَّسَتْ وَخَانَتْ زَوْجَهَا، فَإِنَّهَا حِينَ تَشْرَبُ الْمَاءَ الْجَالِبَ اللَّعْنَةَ يُسَبِّبُ لَهَا آلامَ مَرَارَةٍ، فَيَتَوَرَّمُ بَطْنُهَا وَيَذْوِي فَخْذُهَا، وَتُصْبِحُ الْمَرْأَةُ لَعْنَةً فِي وَسَطِ شَعْبِهَا.

And as soon as he causeth her to drink, the water, then shall it be, that, if she have fallen into uncleanness and committed unfaithfulness against her husband, as soon as the deadly water that causeth a curse hath entered into her, so soon shall her womb swell and her thigh fall away, —thus shall the woman become a curse in the midst of her people.

٢٨ 28 أَمَّا إِنْ كَانَتْ بَرِيئَةً طَاهِرَةً، فَإِنَّهَا تَتَبَرَّأُ وَلا تُصْبِحُ عَاقِراً.

But, if the woman have not fallen into uncleanness, but is pure, then shall she be clear and shall bear seed.

٢٩ 29 إِذاً، هَذِهِ هِيَ شَرِيعَةُ الْغَيْرَةِ الَّتِي تُطَبِّقُونَهَا إِذَا خَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ زَوْجَهَا وَتَنَجَّسَتْ.

This, is the law of jealousies, —when a wife shall turn aside [to another] instead of her husband, and fall into uncleanness;

٣٠ 30 أَوْ إِذَا اعْتَرَتِ الْغَيْرَةُ رَجُلاً، فَغَارَ عَلَى زَوْجَتِهِ، فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ وَيُمَارِسُ عَلَيْهَا الْكَاهِنُ كُلَّ هَذِهِ الشَّعَائِرِ.

or when there passeth over, a husband, a spirit of jealousy, and he becometh jealous of his wife, then shall he cause the woman to stand before Yahweh, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law:

٣١ 31 وَلا يُعَاقَبُ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا أَصَابَ الضَّرَرُ زَوْجَتَهُ الْمُذْنِبَةَ، أَمَّا هِيَ فَتَحْمِلُ قَصَاصَ خَطِيئَتِهَا».

thus shall the man be clear of iniquity; but that woman, shall bear her iniquity.
