民數記 5
1 上主訓示梅瑟說：「
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 你命以色列子民把患任何癩病、任何淋病及所有為死屍沾染不潔的人送出營外，
Command the children of Israel, that they send out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead:
3 不論男女，都應送到營外去，免得我住在他們中的營幕沾染不潔。」
Both male and female shall ye send out, to without the camp shall ye send them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.
4 以色列子民就如此做了，將他們送到營外；上主怎樣吩咐了梅瑟，以色列子民就怎樣做了。
And the children of Israel did so, and they sent them out to without the camp: as the Lord had spoken unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
5 上主訓示梅瑟說：
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
6 「你訓令以色列子民：不論男女，對近人作了什麼不義的事，因此得罪上主而自覺有罪，
Speak unto the children of Israel, If any man or woman commit any sin against a fellow-man, thereby doing a trespass against the Lord, and this person thus become guilty:
7 他該承認自己所作的不義，除賠償全部損失外，還應另加五分之一給他所害的人。
Then shall they confess their sin which they have committed; and he shall make restitution for his trespass with the principal thereof, and its fifth part shall he add thereto, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.
8 若此人沒有近親可向他賠償，這賠償就歸上主，屬於司祭。此外尚應獻一贖罪的公綿羊，為自己贖罪。
But if the man have no kinsman to whom restitution could be made for the trespass, then shall the trespass which is restored unto the Lord, belong to the priest; besides the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him.
9 以色列子民在奉獻的各種聖物中，凡是給司祭的獻儀，即歸於司祭。
And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.
10 每人所奉獻的聖物，應歸自己；但人給與司祭的，應歸於司祭。」
And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth to the priest, shall belong to him.
11 上主訓示梅瑟說：「
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
12 你告訴以色列子民說：若某人的妻子背離丈夫，
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If the wife of any man go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
13 對他不忠，瞞著丈夫讓人與她同睡交媾，在暗中玷污了自己，又沒有見證，也沒有被捉住，
And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hidden from the eyes of her husband, because she hath been secretly defiled; and there be no witness against her, and she have not been detected and in the fact;
14 若丈夫心生疑忌，疑忌他的妻子受了玷污；或者心生疑忌疑忌他的妻子，但她實在沒有受玷污；
And the spirit of jealousy come over him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she have been defiled; or the spirit of jealousy come over him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she have not been defiled:
15 丈夫就應帶他的妻子到司祭前，為她獻祭，獻十分之一「厄法」的大麥粉，其上不可倒油，也不可加乳香，因為這是因疑忌所獻的素祭，是一回憶罪過的素祭。
Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley-meal; he shall not pour any oil upon it, nor put any frankincense thereupon; for it is a meat-offering of jealousy, a meat-offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
16 司祭令她前來，站在上主面前；
And the priest shall bring her near, and place her before the Lord;
17 然後用陶器取些聖水，再由會幕地上取些塵土，放入水內。
And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water;
18 司祭叫這女人站在上主面前，鬆開她的頭髮，將回憶的素祭品，即為疑忌所獻的素祭品，放在她的掌上，司祭手內拿著給人招致咒罵的苦水，
And the priest shall place the woman before the Lord, and uncover the woman's head, and put upon her hands the meat-offering of memorial, it is the meat-offering of jealousy; and in the hand of the priest shall be the bitter waters that bring the curse.
19 然後司祭命那女人起誓，對她說：「若沒有人與你同睡，若你沒有背離丈夫受玷污，願這招致咒罵的苦水於你無害。
And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and he shall say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness behind thy husband: then be thou free from these bitter waters that bring the curse.
20 但是，如果你背離了丈夫受了玷污，讓丈夫以外的男人與你同睡，──
But if thou hast gone aside behind thy husband, and if thou hast been defiled, and some man have lain with thee besides thy husband: —
21 在此司祭叫那女人以詛咒的誓辭起誓，然後對她說：──願上主使你在你民族中成為可咒罵和詛咒的人，使你大腿萎縮，使你肚腹腫脹，
And the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of imprecation, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The Lord then make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the Lord doth cause thy thigh to fall away, and thy belly to swell;
22 願這招致咒罵的水進入你的五臟，使你肚腹腫脹，使你大腿萎縮! 」女人答說：「阿們、阿們。」
And these waters that bring the curse shall go into thy bowels, to cause the belly to swell, and the thigh to fall away; and the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
23 隨後司祭將這些咒文寫在紙上，用苦水洗去，
And the priest shall write these curses on a roll, and he shall blot them out with the bitter waters.
24 令女人喝這招致咒罵的苦水。這招致咒罵的水一進入她內，就給她帶來苦楚。
And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter waters that bring the curse: and the waters that bring the curse shall enter into her for bitterness.
25 司祭再由這女人的手內，接過為疑忌所獻的素祭祭品，在上主面前行過搖禮後，放在祭壇上；
And the priest shall take out of the woman's hand the meat-offering of jealousy, and he shall wave the meat-offering before the Lord, and bring it near to the altar:
26 再由這素祭祭品內取出一把來作為紀念，放在祭壇上焚燒；以後，纔令女人喝這水。
And the priest shall take a handful from the meat-offering, as its memorial, and burn it upon the altar, and after that shall he cause the woman to drink the water.
27 司祭命她喝水以後，事必靈驗：如果她受了玷污，對丈夫不忠，這招致咒罵的水一進入她內，就給她帶來苦楚；她的肚腹必腫脹，大腿必萎縮；這女人在她的民族中，必成為可咒罵的人。
And when he hath made her drink the water, then shall it come to pass, if she have been defiled, and have committed a trespass against her husband, that the waters that bring the curse shall enter into her, for bitterness, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away; and the woman shall become a curse among her people.
28 但是，如果這女人沒有受玷污，而是貞潔的，就不致受害，反要生育子女。
And if the woman have not been defiled, but be clean: then shall she remain unharmed, and she shall conceive seed.
29 這是關於疑忌事的法律：幾時一個婦人，背離丈夫，受了玷污；
This is the law of jealousies, when a woman goeth aside behind her husband, and hath been defiled;
30 或是一個男人心生疑忌，疑忌自己的妻子，他應帶妻子站在上主面前，司祭應對她執行這法律所規定的一切。
Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh over him, and he be jealous of his wife; and he shall place the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall do unto her altogether according to this law.
31 如此，男人可免無罪，女人應自負罪債。」
And the man shall be guiltless from iniquity; but this woman shall bear her iniquity.
