Numbers 5
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Entonces el Señor le dijo a Moisés:
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;
“Ordena a los israelitas que expulsen del campamento a cualquiera que tenga una enfermedad de la piel, o que tenga una secreción, o que esté sucio por tocar un cuerpo 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.”
Ya sea hombre o mujer, debes expulsarlos para que no ensucien su campamento, porque ahí es donde yo habito con ellos”.
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.
Los israelitas siguieron estas instrucciones y expulsaron a esas personas del campamento. Hicieron lo que el Señor le había dicho a Moisés que debían hacer.
5 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
El Señor le dijo a Moisés:
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,
“Dile a los israelitas que cuando un hombre o una mujer es infiel al Señor pecando contra alguien más, son culpables
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.
y deben confesar su pecado. Tienen que pagar el monto total de la compensación más un quinto de su valor, y darlo a la persona a la que han agraviado.
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.
Sin embargo, si esa persona no tiene un pariente que pueda recibir la compensación, ésta le pertenece al Señor y será entregada al sacerdote, junto con un carnero de sacrificio con el que se justifica al 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;
Todas las ofrendas sagradas que los israelitas traigan al sacerdote, le pertenecen a él.
10 and any man’s hallowed things become his; that which any man gives to the priest becomes his.”
Sus santas ofrendas les pertenecen, pero una vez que se las dan al sacerdote, le pertenecen a él”.
11 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
El Señor le dijo a Moisés:
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,
“Dile a los israelitas que estas son las instrucciones a seguir en caso de que la esposa de un hombre tenga una aventura amorosa, siéndole infiel a él
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,
por acostarse con otra persona. Puede ser que su marido no se entere y que su acto sucio no haya sido presenciado. No la atraparon.
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—
Pero si su marido se pone celoso y sospecha de su mujer, sea culpable o no,
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.
debe llevarla ante el sacerdote. También debe llevar en su nombre una ofrenda de un décimo de efa de harina de cebada. También debe llevar para ella una ofrenda de un efa de harina de cebada. No debe verter aceite de oliva o poner incienso sobre ella, ya que es una ofrenda de grano por los celos, una ofrenda recordatoria para recordarle a las personas sobre el pecado.
16 And the priest has brought her near, and has caused her to stand before YHWH,
“El sacerdote debe guiar a la esposa hacia adelante y hacer que se presente ante el Señor.
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,
Luego llenará una vasija de barro con agua sagrada y rociará sobre ella polvo del suelo del Tabernáculo.
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.
Una vez que el sacerdote haya hecho que la mujer se ponga de pie ante el Señor, le soltará el pelo y le hará sostener la ofrenda de grano recordatoria, la ofrenda de grano que se usa en casos de celos. El sacerdote sostendrá el agua amarga que maldice.
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;
Pondrá a la mujer bajo juramento y le dirá: ‘Si nadie más ha dormido contigo y no has sido infiel ni te has vuelto impura mientras estabas casada con tu marido, que no te perjudique esta agua amarga que maldice.
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—
Pero si has sido infiel mientras estabas casada con tu marido y te has vuelto impura y has tenido relaciones sexuales con otra persona...’”.
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,
(Aquí el sacerdote pondrá a la mujer bajo juramento de la maldición como sigue). “Que el Señor te envíe una maldición que todo el mundo conoce, haciendo que tus muslos se encojan y tu vientre se hinche.
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.
Que esta agua que maldice entre en tu estómago y haga que tu vientre se hinche y tus muslos se encojan. “La mujer debe responder: ‘De acuerdo, estoy de acuerdo’.
23 And the priest has written these execrations in a scroll, and has blotted [them] out with the bitter waters,
“El sacerdote debe escribir estas maldiciones en un pergamino y luego lavarlas en el agua amarga.
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.
Hará que la mujer beba el agua amarga que maldice, y le causará un dolor amargo si es culpable.
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;
El sacerdote le quitará la ofrenda de grano por los celos, la agitará ante el Señor y la llevará al 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;
Entonces el sacerdote tomará un puñado de la ofrenda de grano como porción de recuerdo y lo quemará en el altar, y hará que la mujer beba 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.
“Después de hacerla beber el agua, si ella se ha hecho impura y ha sido infiel a su marido, entonces el agua que maldice le causará un dolor amargo. Su vientre se hinchará y sus muslos se encogerán. Se convertirá en una mujer maldita entre 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 hecho impura por ser infiel y está limpia, no experimentará este castigo y aún podrá tener hijos.
29 This [is] the law of jealousies when a wife turns aside under her husband and has been defiled,
“Esta es la regla a seguir en casos de celos cuando una mujer tiene una aventura y se hace impura mientras está casada con 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 el marido empieza a sentir celos y sospecha de su esposa. Su esposa deberá presentarse ante el Señor, y el sacerdote deberá cumplir cada parte de esta regla.
31 and the man has been acquitted from iniquity, and that woman bears her iniquity.”
Si es hallada culpable, su marido no será responsable. Pero la mujer cargará con las consecuencias de su pecado”.
