Leviticus 12
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Yavé habló a Moisés:
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: Cuando una mujer dé a luz un varón, quedará impura por siete días. Será impura como en los días de su menstruación.
3 The baby son must be circumcised on the eighth day after he is born.
Al octavo día el prepucio de su hijo será circuncidado.
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 33 días en la purificación de su sangre. Nada que sea santo tocará, ni irá al Santuario hasta que se cumplan 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 una hembra, entonces estará impura dos semanas, como en su menstruación, y permanecerá 66 días en la purificación de su sangre.
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 cumplan los días de su purificación, por hijo o por hija, llevará un cordero añal al sacerdote para el holocausto a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión, y un pichón de paloma o una tórtola como 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 lo presentará delante de Yavé y hará sacrificio que apacigua por ella para purificarla del flujo de su sangre. Esta es la Ley sobre la que da a luz un varón o una 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 tiene suficiente para un cordero, tomará entonces dos tórtolas o dos palominos, uno para el holocausto y otro para el sacrificio por el pecado. El sacerdote hará sacrificio que apacigua por ella, y quedará limpia.
