民數記 5
1 耶和華曉諭摩西說：
Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
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。
“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 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。」
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。
The people of Israel did so. They sent them out of the camp, as Yahweh commanded Moses. The people of Israel obeyed Yahweh.
5 耶和華對摩西說：
Again Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
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。
“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 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 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 以色列人一切的聖物中，所奉給祭司的舉祭都要歸與祭司。
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 各人所分別為聖的物，無論是甚麼，都要歸給祭司。」
The offerings of every person will be for the priest; if anyone gives anything to the priest, it will belong to him.”
11 耶和華對摩西說：
Again, Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
12 「你曉諭以色列人說：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，
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，她並沒有被玷污，
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 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。
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 「祭司要使那婦人近前來，站在耶和華面前。
The priest must bring her near and place her before Yahweh.
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。
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，
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。
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穢的事，在你丈夫以外有人與你行淫，
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 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 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。』
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 「祭司要寫這咒詛的話，將所寫的字抹在苦水裏，
The priest must write these curses on a scroll, and then he must wash away the written curses into the bitter water.
24 又叫婦人喝這致咒詛的苦水；這水要進入她裏面變苦了。
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；
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。
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 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 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穢的事，
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。
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 男人就為無罪，婦人必擔當自己的罪孽。」
The man will be free from guilt for bringing his wife to the priest. The woman must bear any guilt she might have.”
