民數記 5

1 耶和華曉諭摩西說：

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

2 「你吩咐以色列人，使一切長大痲瘋的，患漏症的，並因死屍不潔淨的，都出營外去。

Commaund the children of Israel that they put out of the hoste euery leper, and euery one that hath an issue, and whosoeuer is defiled by the dead.

3 無論男女都要使他們出到營外，免得污穢他們的營；這營是我所住的。」

Both male and female shall ye put out: out of the hoste shall yee put them, that they defile not their tentes among whome I dwell.

4 以色列人就這樣行，使他們出到營外。耶和華怎樣吩咐摩西，以色列人就怎樣行了。

And the children of Israel did so, and put them out of the host, euen as the Lord had commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.

5 耶和華對摩西說：

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

6 「你曉諭以色列人說：無論男女，若犯了人所常犯的罪，以致干犯耶和華，那人就有了罪。

Speake vnto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sinne that men commit, and transgresse against the Lord, when that person shall trespasse,

7 他要承認所犯的罪，將所虧負人的，如數賠還，另外加上五分之一，也歸與所虧負的人。

Then they shall confesse their sinne which they haue done, and shall restore the domage thereof with his principall, and put the fift part of it more thereto, and shall giue it vnto him, against whom he hath trespassed.

8 那人若沒有親屬可受所賠還的，那所賠還的就要歸與服事耶和華的祭司；至於那為他贖罪的公羊是在外。

But if the man haue no kinseman, to whom he shoulde restore the domage, the domage shall be restored to the Lord for the Priests vse besides the ramme of the atonement, whereby hee shall make atonement for him.

9 以色列人一切的聖物中，所奉給祭司的舉祭都要歸與祭司。

And euery offring of all the holy thinges of the children of Israel, which they bring vnto the Priest, shalbe his.

10 各人所分別為聖的物，無論是甚麼，都要歸給祭司。」

And euery mans halowed things shall bee his: that is, whatsoeuer any man giueth the Priest, it shalbe his.

11 耶和華對摩西說：

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

12 「你曉諭以色列人說：人的妻若有邪行，得罪她丈夫，

Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, If any mans wife turne to euill, and commit a trespasse against him,

13 有人與她行淫，事情嚴密，瞞過她丈夫，而且她被玷污，沒有作見證的人，當她行淫的時候也沒有被捉住，

So that an other man lie with her fleshly, and it bee hid from the eyes of her husband, and kept close, and yet she be defiled, and there be no witnesse against her, neither she taken with the maner,

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，她並沒有被玷污，

If he be moued with a ielous minde, so that he is ielous ouer his wife, which is defiled, or if he haue a ielous minde, so that he is ielous ouer his wife, which is not defiled,

15 這人就要將妻送到祭司那裏，又為她帶着大麥麵伊法十分之一作供物，不可澆上油，也不可加上乳香；因為這是疑恨的素祭，是思念的素祭，使人思念罪孽。

Then shall the man bring his wife to the Priest, and bring her offering with her, the tenth part of an Ephah of barly meale, but he shall not powre oyle vpon it, nor put incense thereon: for it is an offring of ielousie, an offring for a remembrance, calling the sinne to minde:

16 「祭司要使那婦人近前來，站在耶和華面前。

And the Priest shall bring her, and set her before the Lord.

17 祭司要把聖水盛在瓦器裏，又從帳幕的地上取點塵土，放在水中。

Then the Priest shall take the holy water in an earthen vessel, and of the dust that is in the floore of the Tabernacle, euen the Priest shall take it and put it into the water.

18 祭司要叫那婦人蓬頭散髮，站在耶和華面前，把思念的素祭，就是疑恨的素祭，放在她手中。祭司手裏拿着致咒詛的苦水，

After, the Priest shall set the woman before the Lord, and vncouer the womans head, and put the offring of the memorial in her hands: it is the ielousie offering, and the Priest shall haue bitter and cursed water in his hand,

19 要叫婦人起誓，對她說：『若沒有人與你行淫，也未曾背着丈夫做污穢的事，你就免受這致咒詛苦水的災。

And the Priest shall charge her by an othe, and say vnto the woman, If no man haue lien with thee, neither thou hast turned to vncleannesse from thine husband, be free from this bitter and cursed water.

20 你若背着丈夫行了污穢的事，在你丈夫以外有人與你行淫，

But if thou hast turned from thine husband, and so art defiled, and some man hath lyen with thee beside thine husband,

21 （祭司叫婦人發咒起誓），願耶和華叫你大腿消瘦，肚腹發脹，使你在你民中被人咒詛，成了誓語；

(Then the Priest shall charge the woman with an othe of cursing, and the Priest shall say vnto the woman) The Lord make thee to be accursed, and detestable for the othe among thy people, and the Lord cause thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell:

22 並且這致咒詛的水入你的腸中，要叫你的肚腹發脹，大腿消瘦。』婦人要回答說：『阿們，阿們。』

And that this cursed water may goe into thy bowels, to cause thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot. Then the woman shall answere, Amen, Amen.

23 「祭司要寫這咒詛的話，將所寫的字抹在苦水裏，

After, the Priest shall write these curses in a booke, and shall blot them out with the bitter water,

24 又叫婦人喝這致咒詛的苦水；這水要進入她裏面變苦了。

And shall cause the woman to drinke ye bitter and cursed water, and the cursed water, turned into bitternesse, shall enter into her.

25 祭司要從婦人的手中取那疑恨的素祭，在耶和華面前搖一搖，拿到壇前；

Then the Priest shall take the ielousie offring out of the womans hand, and shall shake the offring before the Lord, and offer it vpon ye altar.

26 又要從素祭中取出一把，作為這事的紀念，燒在壇上，然後叫婦人喝這水。

And the Priest shall take an handfull of the offring for a memorial thereof, and burne it vpon the altar, and afterwarde make the woman drinke the water.

27 叫她喝了以後，她若被玷污，得罪了丈夫，這致咒詛的水必進入她裏面變苦了，她的肚腹就要發脹，大腿就要消瘦，那婦人便要在他民中被人咒詛。

When yee haue made her drinke the water, (if she bee defiled and haue trespassed against her husband) then shall the cursed water, turned into bitternesse, enter into her, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot, and the woman shall be accursed among her people.

28 若婦人沒有被玷污，卻是清潔的，就要免受這災，且要懷孕。

But if the woman bee not defiled, but bee cleane, she shalbe free and shall conceiue and beare.

29 「妻子背着丈夫行了污穢的事，

This is the law of ielousie, when a wife turneth from her husband and is defiled,

30 或是人生了疑恨的心，疑恨他的妻，就有這疑恨的條例。那時他要叫婦人站在耶和華面前，祭司要在她身上照這條例而行。

Or when a man is moued with a ielous minde being ielous ouer his wife then shall he bring the woman before the Lord, and the Priest shall do to her according to al this lawe,

31 男人就為無罪，婦人必擔當自己的罪孽。」

And the man shalbe free from sinne, but this woman shall beare her iniquitie.
