Leviticus 12
1 Yahweh said to Moses,
Jahve reče Mojsiju:
2 “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, 'If a woman conceives and gives birth to a male child, then she will be unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during the days of her monthly period.
“Kaži Izraelcima: 'Kad koja žena zatrudni i rodi muško čedo, neka je nečista sedam dana, kako je nečista u vrijeme svoga mjesečnog pranja.
3 On the eighth day the flesh of a baby boy's foreskin must be circumcised.
Osmoga dana neka se dijete obreže.
4 Then the mother's purification from her bleeding will continue for thirty-three days. She must not touch any holy thing or come into the tabernacle area until the days of her purification are finished.
A ona neka ostane još trideset i tri dana da se očisti od svoje krvi; ne smije dirati ništa posvećeno niti dolaziti u Svetište dok se ne navrši vrijeme njezina čišćenja.
5 But if she gives birth to a female child, then she will be unclean for two weeks, as she is during her period. Then the mother's purification will continue for sixty-six days.
Ako rodi žensko čedo, neka je nečista dva tjedna, kao za svoga mjesečnog pranja, i neka ostane još šezdeset i šest dana da se očisti od svoje krvi.
6 When the days of her purification are finished, for a son or for a daughter, she must bring a one year old lamb as a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or dove as a sin offering, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, to the priest.
A kad se navrši vrijeme njezina čišćenja - bilo za sinčića, bilo za kćerkicu - neka donese svećeniku na ulaz u Šator sastanka jednogodišnje janje za žrtvu paljenicu i jednoga golubića ili grlicu za žrtvu okajnicu.
7 Then he will offer it before Yahweh and make atonement for her, and she will be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law regarding a woman who gives birth to either a male or a female child.
Neka on to prinese pred Jahvom i nad njom izvrši obred pomirenja. Tako će ona biti očišćena od svoga krvarenja. To je odredba koja se odnosi na ženu kad rodi bilo muško bilo žensko čedo.
8 If she is not able to afford a lamb, then she must take two doves or two young pigeons, one as a burnt offering and the other as a sin offering, and the priest will make atonement for her; then she will be clean.'”
Ali ako ne može da nađe dovoljno sredstava za grlo od sitnoga stada, neka onda uzme dvije grlice ili dva golubića - jedno za žrtvu paljenicu, a drugo za žrtvu okajnicu. Neka svećenik izvrši nad njom obred pomirenja, i ona će biti očišćena'.”
