< Leviticus 12 >
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:
2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, When a woman hath brought forth seede, and borne a manchilde, shee shalbe vncleane seuen dayes, like as she is vncleane when she is put apart for her disease.
“你晓谕以色列人说:若有妇人怀孕生男孩,她就不洁净七天,像在月经污秽的日子不洁净一样。
3 (And in the eight day, the foreskin of the childes flesh shalbe circumcised)
第八天,要给婴孩行割礼。
4 And she shall continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirtie dayes: she shall touch no halowed thing, nor come into the Sanctuarie, vntil the time of her purifying be out.
妇人在产血不洁之中,要家居三十三天。她洁净的日子未满,不可摸圣物,也不可进入圣所。
5 But if she beare a mayde childe, then shee shalbe vncleane two weekes, as when shee hath her disease: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying three score and sixe dayes.
她若生女孩,就不洁净两个七天,像污秽的时候一样,要在产血不洁之中,家居六十六天。
6 Nowe when the dayes of her purifying are out, (whether it be for a sonne or for a daughter) shee shall bring to the Priest a lambe of one yeere olde for a burnt offering, and a yong pigeon or a turtle doue for a sinne offring, vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation,
“满了洁净的日子,无论是为男孩是为女孩,她要把一岁的羊羔为燔祭,一只雏鸽或是一只斑鸠为赎罪祭,带到会幕门口交给祭司。
7 Who shall offer it before the Lord, and make an atonement for her: so she shalbe purged of the issue of her blood this is the law for her that hath borne a male or female.
祭司要献在耶和华面前,为她赎罪,她的血源就洁净了。这条例是为生育的妇人,无论是生男生女。
8 But if she bee not able to bring a lambe, she shall bring two turtles, or two yong pigeons: the one for a burnt offring, and the other for a sinne offring: and the Priest shall make an atonement for her: so she shall be cleane.
她的力量若不够献一只羊羔,她就要取两只斑鸠或是两只雏鸽,一只为燔祭,一只为赎罪祭。祭司要为她赎罪,她就洁净了。”
