民数记 5
1 耶和华晓谕摩西说：
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
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。
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘You must send away from your (camp/area where you have your tents) any man or woman who has leprosy and anyone who has a discharge [of some fluid from his body], and anyone who has become unacceptable to God because of [having touched] a corpse.
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。”
Send them away from there in order that they will not [touch people in the camp area] where I live among you and cause them to become unacceptable to me.’”
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。
So [Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, and] the Israeli people obeyed what Yahweh commanded Moses/me.
5 耶和华对摩西说：
Yahweh also told Moses/me,
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 this to the Israeli people: ‘If someone (commits a crime against/does something wrong to) another person, [I consider that] that person has done wrong to me.
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。
That person must confess that he or she is guilty, and he or she must pay to the person to whom wrong was done [what others consider to be a suitable/proper payment] for what he has done, and he must pay an extra 20 percent.
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。
If the person against whom the wrong was done [has died and] there is no relative to whom the money can be paid, then the money belongs to me, and it must be paid to the priest. In addition, the one who did the wrong must give a male sheep to the priest [to sacrifice] in order that (that person’s sin may be forgiven/I can forgive that person for his sin).
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 the sacred offerings that the Israelis bring to the priest belong to the priest.
10 各人所分别为圣的物，无论是什么，都要归给祭司。”
The priest can keep those gifts.’”
11 耶和华对摩西说：
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
12 “你晓谕以色列人说：人的妻若有邪行，得罪她丈夫，
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘Suppose a man thinks that his wife has slept with another man,
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，
but neither he nor anyone else knows if it is true or not, because no one saw her doing that.
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 the woman’s husband is jealous, and if he suspects that she has committed adultery, and he wants to know whether that is true 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 should take his wife to the priest. He must take along as an offering two quarts/liters of barley flour. The priest must not pour [olive] oil or incense on it, because this is an offering that the man has brought because he (is jealous/wants his wife to sleep only with him). It is an offering to find out if she is guilty or not. [Neither olive oil nor incense should be used because are associated with joy and this is not a time for joy.]
16 “祭司要使那妇人近前来，站在耶和华面前。
The priest must tell the woman to stand [in front of the altar] in my presence.
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。
He must put some sacred water in a clay jar, and then he must put some dirt from the floor of the Sacred Tent into the water.
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，
He must untie/unfasten the woman’s hair. Then he must put in her hands the grain that her jealous husband is offering to determine whether she has committed adultery or not. The priest must hold [the bowl that contains] bitter water that will cause (the woman to be cursed/bad things to happen to the woman) [if she is guilty].
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。
The priest must require her to solemnly declare [that she will tell the truth]. Then he must say to her, “Has another man had sex [EUP] with you? Have you faithfully [slept only with your husband] or not? If you have not slept with another man, nothing bad will happen to you if you drink the water.
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 had sex with another man, [Yahweh will curse you].
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；
Your womb will shrivel up and your stomach will swell up. You will never be able to give birth to children, and as a result, everyone will curse you and avoid you. If you have committed adultery, [when you drink] this water, that is what will happen to you.” Then the woman must answer, “[If I am guilty], I will not object if that happens.”
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。’
23 “祭司要写这咒诅的话，将所写的字抹在苦水里，
‘Then the priest must write [with ink] on a small scroll these (curses/bad things that will happen to her if she is guilty) [and then wash the ink 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。
The priest must take from her the offering of barley flour [that she is holding], and lift it up to dedicate it to me. Then he must put it on the altar
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；
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。
and burn part of it as a sacrifice. Then the woman must drink the bitter 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。
If the woman has committed adultery, the water will cause her to suffer greatly. Her stomach will swell up and her womb will shrink, [and she will be unable to give birth to children]. And then her (relatives/fellow Israelis) will curse her.
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 she (is innocent/has not committed adultery), her body will not be harmed, and she will still be able to give birth to children.
29 “妻子背着丈夫行了污秽的事，
‘That is the ritual that must be performed when a woman who is married has been unfaithful 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 man is jealous and suspects that his wife [has had sex with another man]. The priest must tell that woman to stand [at the altar] in my presence and obey these instructions.
31 男人就为无罪，妇人必担当自己的罪孽。”
Even if the woman has not done what the husband suspected, he will not be punished [MTY] for doing something wrong [by bringing his wife to the priest]. But if his wife is guilty, she will suffer as a result.’”
