Numbers 5
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
耶和華曉諭摩西說：
2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘You must send away from your (camp/area where you have your tents) any man or woman who has leprosy and anyone who has a discharge [of some fluid from his body], and anyone who has become unacceptable to God because of [having touched] a corpse.
「你吩咐以色列人，使一切長大痲瘋的，患漏症的，並因死屍不潔淨的，都出營外去。
3 Send them away from there in order that they will not [touch people in the camp area] where I live among you and cause them to become unacceptable to me.’”
無論男女都要使他們出到營外，免得污穢他們的營；這營是我所住的。」
4 So [Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, and] the Israeli people obeyed what Yahweh commanded Moses/me.
以色列人就這樣行，使他們出到營外。耶和華怎樣吩咐摩西，以色列人就怎樣行了。
5 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
耶和華對摩西說：
6 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If someone (commits a crime against/does something wrong to) another person, [I consider that] that person has done wrong to me.
「你曉諭以色列人說：無論男女，若犯了人所常犯的罪，以致干犯耶和華，那人就有了罪。
7 That person must confess that he or she is guilty, and he or she must pay to the person to whom wrong was done [what others consider to be a suitable/proper payment] for what he has done, and he must pay an extra 20 percent.
他要承認所犯的罪，將所虧負人的，如數賠還，另外加上五分之一，也歸與所虧負的人。
8 If the person against whom the wrong was done [has died and] there is no relative to whom the money can be paid, then the money belongs to me, and it must be paid to the priest. In addition, the one who did the wrong must give a male sheep to the priest [to sacrifice] in order that (that person’s sin may be forgiven/I can forgive that person for his sin).
那人若沒有親屬可受所賠還的，那所賠還的就要歸與服事耶和華的祭司；至於那為他贖罪的公羊是在外。
9 All the sacred offerings that the Israelis bring to the priest belong to the priest.
以色列人一切的聖物中，所奉給祭司的舉祭都要歸與祭司。
10 The priest can keep those gifts.’”
各人所分別為聖的物，無論是甚麼，都要歸給祭司。」
11 Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
耶和華對摩西說：
12 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘Suppose a man thinks that his wife has slept with another man,
「你曉諭以色列人說：人的妻若有邪行，得罪她丈夫，
13 but neither he nor anyone else knows if it is true or not, because no one saw her doing that.
有人與她行淫，事情嚴密，瞞過她丈夫，而且她被玷污，沒有作見證的人，當她行淫的時候也沒有被捉住，
14 But if the woman’s husband is jealous, and if he suspects that she has committed adultery, and he wants to know whether that is true or not,
她丈夫生了疑恨的心，疑恨她，她是被玷污，或是她丈夫生了疑恨的心，疑恨她，她並沒有被玷污，
15 he should take his wife to the priest. He must take along as an offering two quarts/liters of barley flour. The priest must not pour [olive] oil or incense on it, because this is an offering that the man has brought because he (is jealous/wants his wife to sleep only with him). It is an offering to find out if she is guilty or not. [Neither olive oil nor incense should be used because are associated with joy and this is not a time for joy.]
這人就要將妻送到祭司那裏，又為她帶着大麥麵伊法十分之一作供物，不可澆上油，也不可加上乳香；因為這是疑恨的素祭，是思念的素祭，使人思念罪孽。
16 The priest must tell the woman to stand [in front of the altar] in my presence.
「祭司要使那婦人近前來，站在耶和華面前。
17 He must put some sacred water in a clay jar, and then he must put some dirt from the floor of the Sacred Tent into the water.
祭司要把聖水盛在瓦器裏，又從帳幕的地上取點塵土，放在水中。
18 He must untie/unfasten the woman’s hair. Then he must put in her hands the grain that her jealous husband is offering to determine whether she has committed adultery or not. The priest must hold [the bowl that contains] bitter water that will cause (the woman to be cursed/bad things to happen to the woman) [if she is guilty].
祭司要叫那婦人蓬頭散髮，站在耶和華面前，把思念的素祭，就是疑恨的素祭，放在她手中。祭司手裏拿着致咒詛的苦水，
19 The priest must require her to solemnly declare [that she will tell the truth]. Then he must say to her, “Has another man had sex [EUP] with you? Have you faithfully [slept only with your husband] or not? If you have not slept with another man, nothing bad will happen to you if you drink the water.
要叫婦人起誓，對她說：『若沒有人與你行淫，也未曾背着丈夫做污穢的事，你就免受這致咒詛苦水的災。
20 But if you have had sex with another man, [Yahweh will curse you].
你若背着丈夫行了污穢的事，在你丈夫以外有人與你行淫，
21 Your womb will shrivel up and your stomach will swell up. You will never be able to give birth to children, and as a result, everyone will curse you and avoid you. If you have committed adultery, [when you drink] this water, that is what will happen to you.” Then the woman must answer, “[If I am guilty], I will not object if that happens.”
（祭司叫婦人發咒起誓），願耶和華叫你大腿消瘦，肚腹發脹，使你在你民中被人咒詛，成了誓語；
並且這致咒詛的水入你的腸中，要叫你的肚腹發脹，大腿消瘦。』婦人要回答說：『阿們，阿們。』
23 ‘Then the priest must write [with ink] on a small scroll these (curses/bad things that will happen to her if she is guilty) [and then wash the ink off into the bitter water].
「祭司要寫這咒詛的話，將所寫的字抹在苦水裏，
24 The priest must take from her the offering of barley flour [that she is holding], and lift it up to dedicate it to me. Then he must put it on the altar
又叫婦人喝這致咒詛的苦水；這水要進入她裏面變苦了。
祭司要從婦人的手中取那疑恨的素祭，在耶和華面前搖一搖，拿到壇前；
26 and burn part of it as a sacrifice. Then the woman must drink the bitter water.
又要從素祭中取出一把，作為這事的紀念，燒在壇上，然後叫婦人喝這水。
27 If the woman has committed adultery, the water will cause her to suffer greatly. Her stomach will swell up and her womb will shrink, [and she will be unable to give birth to children]. And then her (relatives/fellow Israelis) will curse her.
叫她喝了以後，她若被玷污，得罪了丈夫，這致咒詛的水必進入她裏面變苦了，她的肚腹就要發脹，大腿就要消瘦，那婦人便要在他民中被人咒詛。
28 But if she (is innocent/has not committed adultery), her body will not be harmed, and she will still be able to give birth to children.
若婦人沒有被玷污，卻是清潔的，就要免受這災，且要懷孕。
29 ‘That is the ritual that must be performed when a woman who is married has been unfaithful to her husband,
「妻子背着丈夫行了污穢的事，
30 or when a man is jealous and suspects that his wife [has had sex with another man]. The priest must tell that woman to stand [at the altar] in my presence and obey these instructions.
或是人生了疑恨的心，疑恨他的妻，就有這疑恨的條例。那時他要叫婦人站在耶和華面前，祭司要在她身上照這條例而行。
31 Even if the woman has not done what the husband suspected, he will not be punished [MTY] for doing something wrong [by bringing his wife to the priest]. But if his wife is guilty, she will suffer as a result.’”
男人就為無罪，婦人必擔當自己的罪孽。」
