Leviticus 12
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Yahvé habló a Moisés, diciendo:
2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If a woman gives birth to a son, she must be avoided for seven days, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month.
“Habla a los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Si una mujer concibe y da a luz un hijo varón, será impura siete días; como en los días de su menstruación será impura.
3 The baby son must be circumcised on the eighth day after he is born.
Al octavo día se circuncidará la carne de su prepucio.
4 Then the woman must wait 33 days to be purified from her bleeding [during childbirth]. She must not touch anything that is sacred or enter the Sacred Tent area until that time is ended.
Ella permanecerá en la sangre de purificación treinta y tres días. No tocará ninguna cosa sagrada, ni entrará en el santuario, hasta que se completen los días de su purificación.
5 If a woman gives birth to a daughter, she must be avoided for two weeks, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month. Then she must wait 66 days to be purified from the bleeding that occurred [when her baby was born].
Pero si da a luz a una niña, será impura dos semanas, como en su período; y permanecerá en la sangre de purificación sesenta y seis días.
6 ‘Then that time for her to be purified is ended, that woman must bring to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent a one-year-old lamb to be completely burned [on the altar], and a dove or a young pigeon [to be sacrificed] to enable her to become acceptable to Yahweh again.
“‘Cuando se completen los días de su purificación por un hijo o por una hija, ella traerá al sacerdote, a la puerta de la Tienda de Reunión, un cordero de un año para el holocausto, y un pichón o una tórtola, para el sacrificio por el pecado.
7 The priest will offer them to Yahweh in order that she may be forgiven for any sins she has committed. Then she will be purified from her loss of blood [when the baby was born]. ‘Those are the regulations for women who give birth to a son or daughter.
Él la ofrecerá ante Yahvé y hará expiación por ella; entonces quedará limpia de la fuente de su sangre. “‘Esta es la ley para la que da a luz, sea macho o hembra.
8 If a woman who gives birth to a child cannot afford a lamb, she must bring two doves or two young pigeons. One will be burned completely [on the altar], and one will be an offering to enable her to become acceptable to God again. By doing that, the priest will cause that she will be forgiven for any sins she has committed, and she no longer will need to be avoided.’”
Si no puede comprar un cordero, tomará dos tórtolas o dos pichones: uno para el holocausto y el otro para el sacrificio por el pecado. El sacerdote hará expiación por ella, y quedará limpia”.
