Numbers 5
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
上主訓示梅瑟說：「
2 “Instruct the sons of Israel to cast out of the camp every leper, and those who have a flow of seed, and those who have been polluted because of the dead;
你命以色列子民把患任何癩病、任何淋病及所有為死屍沾染不潔的人送出營外，
3 cast out of the camp both male and female, lest they contaminate it while I am dwelling with you.”
不論男女，都應送到營外去，免得我住在他們中的營幕沾染不潔。」
4 And the sons of Israel did so, and they cast them out, beyond the camp, just as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
以色列子民就如此做了，將他們送到營外；上主怎樣吩咐了梅瑟，以色列子民就怎樣做了。
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
上主訓示梅瑟說：
6 “Say to the sons of Israel: A man or a woman, when they have done anything out of all the sins that often befall men, or if, by negligence, they have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and so have committed an offense,
「你訓令以色列子民：不論男女，對近人作了什麼不義的事，因此得罪上主而自覺有罪，
7 they shall confess their sin, and they shall restore the principle itself, plus a fifth part above it, to any against whom they have sinned.
他該承認自己所作的不義，除賠償全部損失外，還應另加五分之一給他所害的人。
8 But if there would be no one to receive it, they shall give it to the Lord, and it shall be for the priest, except for the ram, which is offered for expiation, in order to be a pleasing victim.
若此人沒有近親可向他賠償，這賠償就歸上主，屬於司祭。此外尚應獻一贖罪的公綿羊，為自己贖罪。
9 Likewise, all the first-fruits, which the sons of Israel offer, belong to the priest,
以色列子民在奉獻的各種聖物中，凡是給司祭的獻儀，即歸於司祭。
10 with whatever is offered by each one at the Sanctuary, and which is delivered into the hands of the priest; it shall be his.”
每人所奉獻的聖物，應歸自己；但人給與司祭的，應歸於司祭。」
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
上主訓示梅瑟說：「
12 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man whose wife will have gone astray, and, disdaining her husband,
你告訴以色列子民說：若某人的妻子背離丈夫，
13 will have slept with another man, and if her husband cannot discover it, but the adultery is secret, and if it cannot be proved by witnesses, because she was not caught in the shameful act,
對他不忠，瞞著丈夫讓人與她同睡交媾，在暗中玷污了自己，又沒有見證，也沒有被捉住，
14 if the spirit of jealousy stirs up the husband against his wife, who either has been polluted or is being assailed with a false suspicion,
若丈夫心生疑忌，疑忌他的妻子受了玷污；或者心生疑忌疑忌他的妻子，但她實在沒有受玷污；
15 he shall bring her to the priest, and he shall offer an oblation for her, a tenth part of native barley meal. He shall not pour oil over it, nor shall he place frankincense on it, because it is a sacrifice for jealousy, or an oblation investigating adultery.
丈夫就應帶他的妻子到司祭前，為她獻祭，獻十分之一「厄法」的大麥粉，其上不可倒油，也不可加乳香，因為這是因疑忌所獻的素祭，是一回憶罪過的素祭。
16 Therefore, the priest shall offer it, and he shall set it in the sight of the Lord.
司祭令她前來，站在上主面前；
17 And he shall take up holy water in an earthen vessel, and he shall cast a little earth from the pavement of the tabernacle into it.
然後用陶器取些聖水，再由會幕地上取些塵土，放入水內。
18 And while the woman stands before the Lord, he shall uncover her head, and he shall place over her hands the sacrifice of recollection and oblation of jealousy. But he shall take hold of the most bitter waters, in which he has gathered curses with loathing.
司祭叫這女人站在上主面前，鬆開她的頭髮，將回憶的素祭品，即為疑忌所獻的素祭品，放在她的掌上，司祭手內拿著給人招致咒罵的苦水，
19 And he shall bind her by an oath, and he shall say: ‘If another man has not slept with you, and if you have not been polluted by forsaking the bed of your husband, these most bitter waters, into which I have gathered curses, shall not harm you.
然後司祭命那女人起誓，對她說：「若沒有人與你同睡，若你沒有背離丈夫受玷污，願這招致咒罵的苦水於你無害。
20 But if you have turned away from your husband, and also have been defiled, and have lain together with another man,
但是，如果你背離了丈夫受了玷污，讓丈夫以外的男人與你同睡，──
21 these curses shall be thrown upon you: May the Lord turn you into a curse and an example among all his people. May he cause your thigh to rot, and may your abdomen swell up and burst out.
在此司祭叫那女人以詛咒的誓辭起誓，然後對她說：──願上主使你在你民族中成為可咒罵和詛咒的人，使你大腿萎縮，使你肚腹腫脹，
22 May the cursed waters enter into your stomach, and may your womb swell and your thigh rot.’ And the woman shall respond: ‘Amen, amen.’
願這招致咒罵的水進入你的五臟，使你肚腹腫脹，使你大腿萎縮! 」女人答說：「阿們、阿們。」
23 And the priest shall write these curses in a little book, and then he shall erase them with the very bitter waters, into which he had gathered the curses,
隨後司祭將這些咒文寫在紙上，用苦水洗去，
24 and he shall give it to her to drink. And when she has emptied it,
令女人喝這招致咒罵的苦水。這招致咒罵的水一進入她內，就給她帶來苦楚。
25 the priest shall take from her hand the sacrifice of jealousy, and he shall elevate it before the Lord, and he shall impose it upon the altar. Yet only after he first
司祭再由這女人的手內，接過為疑忌所獻的素祭祭品，在上主面前行過搖禮後，放在祭壇上；
26 takes a handful of the sacrifice from that which is offered, and burns it upon the altar, and then he may give the most bitter waters to the woman as a drink.
再由這素祭祭品內取出一把來作為紀念，放在祭壇上焚燒；以後，纔令女人喝這水。
27 And when she drinks it, if she has been defiled, and, having despised her husband, is guilty of adultery, the curse shall pass through her, and as her belly swells up, her thigh shall decay, and the woman shall become a curse and an example to all the people.
司祭命她喝水以後，事必靈驗：如果她受了玷污，對丈夫不忠，這招致咒罵的水一進入她內，就給她帶來苦楚；她的肚腹必腫脹，大腿必萎縮；這女人在她的民族中，必成為可咒罵的人。
28 But if she has not been defiled, she shall be unharmed and she shall bear children.
但是，如果這女人沒有受玷污，而是貞潔的，就不致受害，反要生育子女。
29 This is the law for jealousy. If a woman has turned aside from her husband, and if she has been polluted,
這是關於疑忌事的法律：幾時一個婦人，背離丈夫，受了玷污；
30 and if the husband, being stirred up by the spirit of jealousy, has brought her before the sight of the Lord, and the priest has acted toward her according to all that has been written:
或是一個男人心生疑忌，疑忌自己的妻子，他應帶妻子站在上主面前，司祭應對她執行這法律所規定的一切。
31 then the husband shall be without guilt, and she shall bear her iniquity.”
如此，男人可免無罪，女人應自負罪債。」
