民数记 5
1 耶和华晓谕摩西说：
The Lord told Moses,
2 “你吩咐以色列人，使一切长大麻风的，患漏症的，并因死尸不洁净的，都出营外去。
“Order the Israelites to expel from the camp anyone who has a skin disease, or who has a discharge, or who is unclean from touching a dead body.
3 无论男女都要使他们出到营外，免得污秽他们的营；这营是我所住的。”
Whether male or female, you must expel them so they won't make their camp unclean, for that is where I live with them.”
4 以色列人就这样行，使他们出到营外。耶和华怎样吩咐摩西，以色列人就怎样行了。
The Israelites followed these instructions, and expelled such people from the camp. They did what the Lord had told Moses they should do.
5 耶和华对摩西说：
The Lord told Moses,
6 “你晓谕以色列人说：无论男女，若犯了人所常犯的罪，以致干犯耶和华，那人就有了罪。
“Tell the Israelites that when a man or woman is unfaithful to the Lord by sinning against someone else, they are guilty
7 他要承认所犯的罪，将所亏负人的，如数赔还，另外加上五分之一，也归与所亏负的人。
and must confess their sin. They have to pay the full amount of compensation plus one fifth of its value, and give this to the person they have wronged.
8 那人若没有亲属可受所赔还的，那所赔还的就要归与服事耶和华的祭司；至于那为他赎罪的公羊是在外。
However, if that person doesn't have a relative who can be paid the compensation, it belongs to the Lord and shall be given to the priest, together with a sacrificial ram by which the guilty person is set right.
9 以色列人一切的圣物中，所奉给祭司的举祭都要归与祭司。
All holy offerings that the Israelites bring to the priest belong to him.
10 各人所分别为圣的物，无论是什么，都要归给祭司。”
Your holy offerings belong to you, but once you give them to the priest they belong to him.”
11 耶和华对摩西说：
The Lord told Moses,
12 “你晓谕以色列人说：人的妻若有邪行，得罪她丈夫，
“Tell the Israelites that these are the instructions to follow if a man's wife has an affair, being unfaithful to him
13 有人与她行淫，事情严密，瞒过她丈夫，而且她被玷污，没有作见证的人，当她行淫的时候也没有被捉住，
by sleeping with someone else. It may be that her husband doesn't find out and her unclean act wasn't witnessed—she wasn't caught out.
14 她丈夫生了疑恨的心，疑恨她，她是被玷污，或是她丈夫生了疑恨的心，疑恨她，她并没有被玷污，
But if her husband becomes jealous and suspicious of his wife, whether she's guilty or not,
15 这人就要将妻送到祭司那里，又为她带着大麦面伊法十分之一作供物，不可浇上油，也不可加上乳香；因为这是疑恨的素祭，是思念的素祭，使人思念罪孽。
he is to take her before the priest. He is also to take with him on her behalf an offering of one tenth of an ephath of barley flour. He must also bring for her an offering of an ephah of barley flour. He's not to pour olive oil over it or put frankincense on it, since it's a grain offering for jealousy, a reminder offering to remind people about sin.
16 “祭司要使那妇人近前来，站在耶和华面前。
The priest is to lead the wife forward and have her stand before the Lord.
17 祭司要把圣水盛在瓦器里，又从帐幕的地上取点尘土，放在水中。
Then he shall fill a clay jar with holy water in a clay jar and sprinkle on it some dust from the floor of the Tabernacle.
18 祭司要叫那妇人蓬头散发，站在耶和华面前，把思念的素祭，就是疑恨的素祭，放在她手中。祭司手里拿着致咒诅的苦水，
Once the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall let her hair loose and have her hold the reminder grain offering—the grain offering used in cases of jealousy. The priest shall hold the bitter water that curses.
19 要叫妇人起誓，对她说：‘若没有人与你行淫，也未曾背着丈夫做污秽的事，你就免受这致咒诅苦水的灾。
He shall place the woman under oath and tell her, ‘If no one else has slept with you and you have not been unfaithful and become unclean while married to your husband, may you not be harmed by this bitter water that curses.
20 你若背着丈夫行了污秽的事，在你丈夫以外有人与你行淫，
But if you have been unfaithful while married to your husband and have become unclean and have had sex with someone else…”
21 （祭司叫妇人发咒起誓，）愿耶和华叫你大腿消瘦，肚腹发胀，使你在你民中被人咒诅，成了誓语；
(Here the priest shall place the woman under the oath of the curse as follows.) “May the Lord place a curse on you that everyone knows about by having your thighs shrink and your belly swell up.
22 并且这致咒诅的水入你的肠中，要叫你的肚腹发胀，大腿消瘦。’妇人要回答说：‘阿们，阿们。’
May this water that curses go into your stomach and make your belly swell up and your thighs shrink.” The woman is to answer, “I agree, I agree.”
23 “祭司要写这咒诅的话，将所写的字抹在苦水里，
The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water.
24 又叫妇人喝这致咒诅的苦水；这水要进入她里面变苦了。
He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that curses, and it will cause her bitter pain if she is guilty.
25 祭司要从妇人的手中取那疑恨的素祭，在耶和华面前摇一摇，拿到坛前；
The priest shall take back from her the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord, and take it to the altar.
26 又要从素祭中取出一把，作为这事的纪念，烧在坛上，然后叫妇人喝这水。
Then the priest shall take a handful of the grain offering as a reminder portion and burn it on the altar, and make the woman drink the water.
27 叫她喝了以后，她若被玷污，得罪了丈夫，这致咒诅的水必进入她里面变苦了，她的肚腹就要发胀，大腿就要消瘦，那妇人便要在他民中被人咒诅。
After he has made her drink the water, if she has made herself unclean and has been unfaithful to her husband, then the water that curses will cause her bitter pain. Her belly will swell up and her thighs will shrink. She will become a cursed woman among her people.
28 若妇人没有被玷污，却是清洁的，就要免受这灾，且要怀孕。
But if the woman has not made herself unclean by being unfaithful and is clean, she will not experience this punishment and she will still be able to have children.
29 “妻子背着丈夫行了污秽的事，
This is the rule to follow in cases of jealousy when a wife has an affair and makes herself unclean while married to her husband,
30 或是人生了疑恨的心，疑恨他的妻，就有这疑恨的条例。那时他要叫妇人站在耶和华面前，祭司要在她身上照这条例而行。
or when a husband starts feeling jealous and becomes suspicious of his wife. He shall have his wife stand before the Lord, and the priest is to carry out every part of this rule.
31 男人就为无罪，妇人必担当自己的罪孽。”
If she is found guilty, her husband will not be held responsible. But the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.
