Numbers 5
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Habló Yahvé a Moisés, diciendo:
2 “Command the sons of Israel, and they send out of the camp every leper, and everyone with discharging, and everyone defiled by a body;
“Manda a los hijos de Israel que alejen del campamento a todo leproso, y a todo aquel que padece flujo, así como a todo manchado por un muerto.
3 you send out from male even to female; you send them to the outside of the camp and they do not defile their camps in the midst of which I dwell.”
Alejad tanto a hombres como a mujeres, echadlos fuera del campamento para que no contaminen los campamentos de aquellos en medio de quienes Yo habito.”
4 And the sons of Israel do so, and they send them out to the outside of the camp; as YHWH has spoken to Moses so the sons of Israel have done.
Así lo hicieron los hijos de Israel, y los echaron fuera del campamento. Según Yahvé había mandado a Moisés, así lo hicieron los hijos de Israel.
5 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Yahvé habló a Moisés, diciendo:
6 “Speak to the sons of Israel: Man or woman, when they do any of the sins of man, by committing a trespass against YHWH, and that person [is] guilty,
“Di a los hijos de Israel: Si un hombre o una mujer cometiere cualquier pecado de los que suelen cometer los hombres, ofendiendo a Yahvé, téngase por culpable,
7 and they have confessed their sin which they have done, then he has restored his guilt in its principal, and is adding its fifth to it, and has given [it] to him in reference to whom he has been guilty.
confiese el pecado cometido y restituya íntegramente aquello en que haya delinquido, añadiendo un quinto; lo restituirá a aquel contra quien se hizo culpable.
8 And if the man has no redeemer to restore the guilt to, the guilt which is restored [is] to YHWH for the priest, apart from the ram of the atonements, whereby he makes atonement for him.
Si este ya no tiene pariente a quien se podría restituir el objeto de delito, la restitución del mismo ha de hacerse a Yahvé (y será entregado) al sacerdote, además del carnero expiatorio con que se hará la expiación por el culpable.”
9 And every raised-offering of all the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they bring near to the priest, becomes his;
“Toda ofrenda alzada de todas las cosas santificadas que los hijos de Israel presentaren al sacerdote, a este pertenecerá.
10 and any man’s hallowed things become his; that which any man gives to the priest becomes his.”
Las (demás) cosas ofrecidas por cualquier persona pertenecen a esta; mas lo que uno da al sacerdote, a este le pertenecerá.”
11 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Habló Yahvé a Moisés, diciendo:
12 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When any man’s wife turns aside, and has committed a trespass against him,
“Habla a los hijos de Israel y diles: Si la mujer de un hombre fornicare, cometiendo contra él infidelidad,
13 and a man has lain with her [with] the seed [from] intercourse, and it has been hid from the eyes of her husband, and concealed, and she has been defiled, and there is no witness against her, and she has not been caught,
y otro hombre se acostare con ella en relación carnal, sin saberlo el marido y quedando el hecho oculto —porque cuando ella se mancilló no hubo testigo contra ella, ni fue sorprendida—
14 and a spirit of jealousy has passed over him, and he has been jealous [for] his wife, and she has been defiled—or a spirit of jealousy has passed over him, and he has been jealous [for] his wife, and she has not been defiled—
si viniere sobre el (marido) espíritu de celos, de modo que tenga celos de su mujer, porque ella se ha mancillado, o si viniere espíritu de celos sobre él, de modo que tenga celos de su mujer, sin que ella se hubiese mancillado;
15 then the man has brought in his wife to the priest, and he has brought in her offering for her—a tenth of the ephah of barley meal; he does not pour oil on it, nor does he put frankincense on it, for it [is] a present of jealousy, a present of memorial, causing remembrance of iniquity.
entonces ese hombre llevará a su mujer al sacerdote, ofreciendo por ella, en oblación, un décimo de efa de harina de cebada, sin derramar aceite encima, ni poner sobre ella incienso; porque es ofrenda de celos, ofrenda de recuerdo, que trae el pecado a la memoria.
16 And the priest has brought her near, and has caused her to stand before YHWH,
Luego el sacerdote hará que (la mujer) se acerque, y la colocará delante de Yahvé.
17 and the priest has taken holy water in an earthen vessel, and the priest takes of the dust which is on the floor of the Dwelling Place, and has put [it] into the water,
Y tomará el sacerdote agua santa en una vasija de barro, y polvo del suelo de la Morada, y lo echará en el agua.
18 and the priest has caused the woman to stand before YHWH, and has uncovered the woman’s head, and has given the present of the memorial into her hands (it [is] a present of jealousy), and the bitter waters which cause the curse are in the hand of the priest.
El sacerdote, después de mandar que la mujer se ponga de pie delante de Yahvé, soltará la cabellera de la mujer, y pondrá en sus manos la ofrenda de recuerdo, que es la ofrenda de los celos, teniendo él en su mano el agua amarga que acarrea maldición.
19 And the priest has caused her to swear, and has said to the woman, If no man has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside [to] uncleanness under your husband, be free from these bitter waters which cause the curse;
Y conjurará el sacerdote a la mujer diciendo: Si no se ha acostado contigo ninguno, y si no te has descarriado contaminándote con quien no es tu marido, no te hará daño esta agua amarga que acarrea maldición.
20 and you, if you have turned aside under your husband, and if you have been defiled, and a man commits his intercourse with you besides your husband—
Mas si te has descarriado con quien no es tu marido, y te has contaminado acostándose contigo algún hombre, que no sea tu marido,
21 then the priest has caused the woman to swear with an oath of execration, and the priest has said to the woman—YHWH gives you for an execration and for a curse in the midst of your people, in YHWH’s giving your thigh to fall and your belly to swell,
entonces el sacerdote conjurará a la mujer con juramento de maldición, y le dirá: “¡Que te ponga Yahvé por ejemplo de maldición e imprecación en medio de tu pueblo, y haga Yahvé que enflaquezcan tus caderas y se hinche tu vientre!
22 and these waters which cause the curse have gone into your bowels to cause the belly to swell and the thigh to fall; and the woman has said, Amen, Amen.
¡Entre en tus entrañas esta agua que acarrea maldición, para que se hinche tu vientre y enflaquezcan tus caderas!” Y dirá la mujer: “¡Amén amén!”
23 And the priest has written these execrations in a scroll, and has blotted [them] out with the bitter waters,
Luego el sacerdote escribirá estas maldiciones en un rollo y las desleirá en las aguas amargas.
24 and has caused the woman to drink the bitter waters which cause the curse, and the waters which cause the curse have entered into her for bitter things.
Y hará beber a la mujer el agua amarga que acarrea maldición; y penetrará en ella el agua de maldición para serle amarga.
25 And the priest has taken the present of jealousy out of the hand of the woman, and has waved the present before YHWH, and has brought it near to the altar;
Después tomará el sacerdote de mano de la mujer la oblación de celos, la mecerá ante Yahvé, y la presentará delante del altar.
26 and the priest has taken a handful of the present, its memorial, and has made incense on the altar, and afterward causes the woman to drink the water;
Y tomando de la oblación un puñado como ofrenda de recuerdo, lo quemará en el altar; después dará de beber a la mujer el agua.
27 indeed, he has caused her to drink the water, and it has come to pass, if she has been defiled and commits a trespass against her husband, that the waters which cause the curse have gone into her for bitter things, and her belly has swelled, and her thigh has fallen, and the woman has become an execration in the midst of her people.
Dándosele a ella el agua sucederá que si ella se ha deshonrado, siendo infiel a su marido, en tal caso penetrará en ella el agua de maldición para serle amarga; y se le hinchará el vientre y enflaquecerán sus caderas, de modo que aquella mujer será una execración en medio de su pueblo.
28 And if the woman has not been defiled, and is clean, then she has been acquitted, and has been sown [with] seed.
Pero si la mujer no se ha mancillado, siendo pura, quedará ilesa y tendrá hijos.”
29 This [is] the law of jealousies when a wife turns aside under her husband and has been defiled,
Esta es la ley de los celos, cuando una mujer se ha descarriado contaminándose con quien no es su marido;
30 or when a spirit of jealousy passes over a man and he has been jealous of his wife, then he has caused the woman to stand before YHWH, and the priest has done to her all this law,
o cuando sobre un hombre viene espíritu de celos, de modo que tenga celos de su mujer: presentará a la mujer ante Yahvé, y el sacerdote hará con ella según toda esta ley.
31 and the man has been acquitted from iniquity, and that woman bears her iniquity.”
El marido quedará así libre de culpa, pero la mujer pagará su iniquidad.”
