民数记 5
1 耶和华晓谕摩西说：
Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
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。
“Command the people of Israel to send away from the camp everyone with an infectious skin disease, and everyone who has an oozing sore, and whoever is unclean through 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 send them out of the camp. They must not defile the camp, because I live in it.”
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 people of Israel did so. They sent them out of the camp, as Yahweh commanded Moses. The people of Israel obeyed Yahweh.
5 耶和华对摩西说：
Again Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
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。
“Speak to the people of Israel. When a man or woman commits any sin such as people do to one another, and is unfaithful to me, that person is 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。
Then he must confess the sin that he has done. He must completely pay back the price of his guilt and add to the price one-fifth more. He must give this to the one he has 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。
But if the wronged person has no close relative to receive the payment, he must pay the price for his guilt to me through a priest, along with a ram to atone for himself.
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。
Every offering of the people of Israel, the things that are set aside and brought to the priest by the people of Israel, will belong to him.
10 各人所分别为圣的物，无论是什么，都要归给祭司。”
The offerings of every person will be for the priest; if anyone gives anything to the priest, it will belong to him.”
11 耶和华对摩西说：
Again, Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
12 “你晓谕以色列人说：人的妻若有邪行，得罪她丈夫，
“Speak to the people of Israel. Say to them, 'Suppose that a man's wife turns away and sins against her husband.
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，
Then suppose that another man sleeps with her. In that case, she is defiled. Even if her husband does not see it or know about it, and even if no one catches her in the act and there is no one to testify against her,
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，
nevertheless, a spirit of jealousy might still inform the husband that his wife is defiled. However, a spirit of jealousy might falsely come on a man when his wife is not defiled.
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。
In such cases, the man must bring his wife to the priest. The husband must take an offering required on her behalf, a tenth of an ephah of barley flour. He must pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering for remembering, as a reminder of the iniquity.
16 “祭司要使那妇人近前来，站在耶和华面前。
The priest must bring her near and place her before Yahweh.
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。
The priest must take a jar of holy water and take dust from the floor of the tabernacle. He must put the dust 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，
The priest will set the woman before Yahweh and he will untie the hair on the woman's head. He will put into her hands the grain offering of remembrance, which is the grain offering of suspicion. The priest will hold in his hand the bitter water that can bring a curse.
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 will put the woman under an oath and say to her, 'If no other man had sexual relations with you, and if you have not gone astray and committed impurity, then you will be free from this bitter water that can bring a curse.
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, a woman under her husband, have gone astray, if you are defiled, and if some other man has slept with 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；
then, (the priest must cause the woman to swear an oath that can bring down a curse on her, and then he must continue speaking to the woman) 'Yahweh will make you into a curse that will be shown to your people to be such. This will happen if Yahweh causes your thigh to waste away and your abdomen to swell.
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。’
This water that brings the curse will go into your stomach and make your abdomen swell and your thighs waste away.' The woman is to reply, 'Yes, let that happen if I am guilty.'
23 “祭司要写这咒诅的话，将所写的字抹在苦水里，
The priest must write these curses on a scroll, and then he must wash away the written curses 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 make the woman drink the bitter water that brings the curse. The water that brings the curse will enter her and become bitter.
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 must take the grain offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand. He must hold up the grain offering before Yahweh and bring 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。
The priest must take a handful of the grain offering as a representative offering, and burn it on the altar. Then he must give the woman the bitter water to drink.
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。
When he gives her the water to drink, if she is defiled because she has committed a sin against her husband, then the water that brings the curse will enter her and become bitter. Her abdomen will swell and her thigh will waste away. The woman will be cursed 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 is not defiled and if she is clean, then she must be free. She will be able to conceive children.
29 “妻子背着丈夫行了污秽的事，
This is the law of jealousy. It is the law for a woman who strays away from her husband and is defiled.
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。
It is the law for a man with a spirit of jealousy when he is jealous of his wife. He must bring the woman before Yahweh, and the priest must do to her everything that this law of jealousy describes.
31 男人就为无罪，妇人必担当自己的罪孽。”
The man will be free from guilt for bringing his wife to the priest. The woman must bear any guilt she might have.”
