Brojevi 5
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 “Naredi Izraelcima da iz tabora odstrane svakoga gubavca, svakoga koji imadne izljev i svakoga koji se onečisti mrtvim tijelom.
“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 Odstranite i muške i ženske! Izvan tabora ih istjerajte da ne onečiste svoje tabore u kojima ja boravim među njima.”
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 Izraelci tako učine: istjeraju ih iz tabora. Kako je Jahve rekao Mojsiju, tako Izraelci učine.
So [Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, and] the Israeli people obeyed what Yahweh commanded Moses/me.
5 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
Yahweh also told Moses/me,
6 “Kaži Izraelcima: Kad koji čovjek ili žena počini bilo kakav grijeh na štetu čovjeka ogriješivši se protiv Jahve, i osjeti se krivim,
“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 neka prizna počinjeni grijeh, nadoknadi štetu što bolje može te još doda tome petinu i dadne onome kome je nanio nepravdu.
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 Ako čovjek ne bi imao bližeg rođaka kome bi se nadoknada mogla uručiti, dužna nadoknada pripada Jahvi za svećenika, ne računajući u to pomirbenoga ovna kojim će svećenik izvršiti nad krivcem obred pomirenja.
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 I svaka podizanica od svih posvećenih stvari što ih Izraelci svećeniku donose njemu pripada.
All the sacred offerings that the Israelis bring to the priest belong to the priest.
10 Svakome idu stvari koje je posvetio; i neka svećeniku bude ono što njemu tko dadne.”
The priest can keep those gifts.’”
11 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
12 “Govori Izraelcima i reci im: Ako nekome žena pođe stranputicom te mu se iznevjeri
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘Suppose a man thinks that his wife has slept with another man,
13 i netko s njom legne, ali to ostane sakriveno očima njezina muža i žena ostane neotkrivena iako se oskvrnula te protiv nje ne bude svjedoka budući da u činu nije bila uhvaćena -
but neither he nor anyone else knows if it is true or not, because no one saw her doing that.
14 i sad muža obuzme duh ljubomore i on postane ljubomoran na svoju ženu koja se oskvrnula; ili ako ga spopadne duh ljubomore te postane ljubomoran na svoju ženu a da se ona nije oskvrnula -
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 neka taj muž dovede svoju ženu svećeniku. Neka za nju donese prinos: desetinu efe ječmenog brašna. Neka po njemu ne polijeva ulja niti na nj stavlja tamjana, jer to je prinosnica za ljubomoru, spomen-prinosnica da podsjeti na grijeh.
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 Neka svećenik povede tu ženu i postavi je pred Jahvu.
The priest must tell the woman to stand [in front of the altar] in my presence.
17 Sad neka svećenik uzme posvećene vode u kakvu zemljanu posudu i, uzevši prašine što je na podu Prebivališta, neka je svećenik ubaci u vodu.
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 Pošto je svećenik postavio ženu pred Jahvu, neka joj otkrije glavu a na njezine ruke stavi spomen-prinosnicu, to jest žitnu prinosnicu za ljubomoru, s svećenik neka drži u ruci vodu gorčine i prokletstva.
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 Zatim neka svećenik ženu zakune. Neka joj reče: 'Ako nikad čovjek s tobom nije ležao te ako nisi išla stranputicom i oskvrnula se dok si bila pod vlašću svoga muža, budi pošteđena od ove vode gorčine i prokletstva!
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 Ali ako si išla stranputicom dok si bila pod vlašću svoga muža te se oskvrnula; ako je koji čovjek osim tvoga muža legao s tobom ...'
But if you have had sex with another man, [Yahweh will curse you].
21 Ovdje neka svećenik zakune ženu ovom kletvom: neka joj rekne: Jahve te postavio za prokletstvo i kletvu među tvojim narodom, učinio da ti uvene rodnica i da ti se utroba nadme!
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 Neka ova voda prokletstva zađe u tvoju utrobu! Trbuh ti se od nje naduo, a rodnica uvenula! - A žena neka poprati: Amen! Amen!
23 Potom neka ta prokletstva svećenik napiše na list pa ih ispere u vodu gorčine.
‘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 Onda neka ženu napoji vodom gorčine i prokletstva, da bi se voda gorčine po njoj razišla i napunila je gorkošću.
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 Neka svećenik onda uzme iz ženine ruke prinosnicu za ljubomoru, prinese je pred Jahvom kao žrtvu prikaznicu te je donese na žrtvenik.
26 Zagrabivši od prinosnice punu pregršt kao spomen-žrtvu, neka to sažeže u kad na žrtveniku. Napokon, neka ženu napoji vodom.
and burn part of it as a sacrifice. Then the woman must drink the bitter water.
27 Pošto je napoji vodom, bude li oskvrnuta iznevjerivši se svome mužu, voda prokletstva ući će u nju i napunit će je gorčinom; njezina će se utroba naduti a rodnica uvenuti - ta će žena postati prokletstvom u svome narodu.
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 A ako žena ne bude oskvrnuta nego nevina, neće joj biti ništa i imat će djece.
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 To je obred u slučaju ljubomore, kad žena pođe stranputicom i oskvrne se dok je pod vlašću svoga muža;
‘That is the ritual that must be performed when a woman who is married has been unfaithful to her husband,
30 ili kad kojega čovjeka obuzme duh ljubomore te postane ljubomoran na svoju ženu. Neka, dakle, postavi svoju ženu pred Jahvu, a svećenik neka nad njom izvrši sav ovaj obred.
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 Neka je muž slobodan od krivnje, a žena neka snosi svoju krivnju.”
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.’”
