Numbers 5
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
2 “Command the people of Israel to send away from the camp everyone with an infectious skin disease, and everyone who has an oozing sore, and whoever is unclean through touching a dead body.
praecipe filiis Israhel ut eiciant de castris omnem leprosum et qui semine fluit pollutusque est super mortuo
3 Whether male or female, you must send them out of the camp. They must not defile the camp, because I live in it.”
tam masculum quam feminam eicite de castris ne contaminent ea cum habitaverim vobiscum
4 The people of Israel did so. They sent them out of the camp, as Yahweh commanded Moses. The people of Israel obeyed Yahweh.
feceruntque ita filii Israhel et eiecerunt eos extra castra sicut locutus erat Dominus Mosi
5 Again Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
6 “Speak to the people of Israel. When a man or woman commits any sin such as people do to one another, and is unfaithful to me, that person is guilty.
loquere ad filios Israhel vir sive mulier cum fecerint ex omnibus peccatis quae solent hominibus accidere et per neglegentiam transgressi fuerint mandatum Domini atque deliquerint
7 Then he must confess the sin that he has done. He must completely pay back the price of his guilt and add to the price one-fifth more. He must give this to the one he has wronged.
confitebuntur peccatum suum et reddent ipsum caput quintamque partem desuper ei in quem peccaverint
8 But if the wronged person has no close relative to receive the payment, he must pay the price for his guilt to me through a priest, along with a ram to atone for himself.
sin autem non fuerit qui recipiat dabunt Domino et erit sacerdotis excepto ariete qui offertur pro expiatione ut sit placabilis hostia
9 Every offering of the people of Israel, the things that are set aside and brought to the priest by the people of Israel, will belong to him.
omnes quoque primitiae quas offerunt filii Israhel ad sacerdotem pertinent
10 The offerings of every person will be for the priest; if anyone gives anything to the priest, it will belong to him.”
et quicquid in sanctuarium offertur a singulis et traditur manibus sacerdotis ipsius erit
11 Again, Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
12 “Speak to the people of Israel. Say to them, 'Suppose that a man's wife turns away and sins against her husband.
loquere ad filios Israhel et dices ad eos vir cuius uxor erraverit maritumque contemnens
13 Then suppose that another man sleeps with her. In that case, she is defiled. Even if her husband does not see it or know about it, and even if no one catches her in the act and there is no one to testify against her,
dormierit cum altero viro et hoc maritus deprehendere non quiverit sed latet adulterium et testibus argui non potest quia non est inventa in stupro
14 nevertheless, a spirit of jealousy might still inform the husband that his wife is defiled. However, a spirit of jealousy might falsely come on a man when his wife is not defiled.
si spiritus zelotypiae concitaverit virum contra uxorem suam quae vel polluta est vel falsa suspicione appetitur
15 In such cases, the man must bring his wife to the priest. The husband must take an offering required on her behalf, a tenth of an ephah of barley flour. He must pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering for remembering, as a reminder of the iniquity.
adducet eam ad sacerdotem et offeret oblationem pro illa decimam partem sati farinae hordiaciae non fundet super eam oleum nec inponet tus quia sacrificium zelotypiae est et oblatio investigans adulterium
16 The priest must bring her near and place her before Yahweh.
offeret igitur eam sacerdos et statuet coram Domino
17 The priest must take a jar of holy water and take dust from the floor of the tabernacle. He must put the dust into the water.
adsumetque aquam sanctam in vase fictili et pauxillum terrae de pavimento tabernaculi mittet in eam
18 The priest will set the woman before Yahweh and he will untie the hair on the woman's head. He will put into her hands the grain offering of remembrance, which is the grain offering of suspicion. The priest will hold in his hand the bitter water that can bring a curse.
cumque steterit mulier in conspectu Domini discoperiet caput eius et ponet super manus illius sacrificium recordationis et oblationem zelotypiae ipse autem tenebit aquas amarissimas in quibus cum execratione maledicta congessit
19 The priest will put the woman under an oath and say to her, 'If no other man had sexual relations with you, and if you have not gone astray and committed impurity, then you will be free from this bitter water that can bring a curse.
adiurabitque eam et dicet si non dormivit vir alienus tecum et si non polluta es deserto mariti toro non te nocebunt aquae istae amarissimae in quas maledicta congessi
20 But if you, a woman under her husband, have gone astray, if you are defiled, and if some other man has slept with you,
sin autem declinasti a viro tuo atque polluta es et concubuisti cum altero
21 then, (the priest must cause the woman to swear an oath that can bring down a curse on her, and then he must continue speaking to the woman) 'Yahweh will make you into a curse that will be shown to your people to be such. This will happen if Yahweh causes your thigh to waste away and your abdomen to swell.
his maledictionibus subiacebis det te Dominus in maledictionem exemplumque cunctorum in populo suo putrescere faciat femur tuum et tumens uterus disrumpatur
22 This water that brings the curse will go into your stomach and make your abdomen swell and your thighs waste away.' The woman is to reply, 'Yes, let that happen if I am guilty.'
ingrediantur aquae maledictae in ventrem tuum et utero tumescente putrescat femur et respondebit mulier amen amen
23 The priest must write these curses on a scroll, and then he must wash away the written curses into the bitter water.
scribetque sacerdos in libello ista maledicta et delebit ea aquis amarissimis in quas maledicta congessit
24 The priest must make the woman drink the bitter water that brings the curse. The water that brings the curse will enter her and become bitter.
et dabit ei bibere quas cum exhauserit
25 The priest must take the grain offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand. He must hold up the grain offering before Yahweh and bring it to the altar.
tollet sacerdos de manu eius sacrificium zelotypiae et elevabit illud coram Domino inponetque super altare ita dumtaxat ut prius
26 The priest must take a handful of the grain offering as a representative offering, and burn it on the altar. Then he must give the woman the bitter water to drink.
pugillum sacrificii tollat de eo quod offertur et incendat super altare et sic potum det mulieri aquas amarissimas
27 When he gives her the water to drink, if she is defiled because she has committed a sin against her husband, then the water that brings the curse will enter her and become bitter. Her abdomen will swell and her thigh will waste away. The woman will be cursed among her people.
quas cum biberit si polluta est et contempto viro adulterii rea pertransibunt eam aquae maledictionis et inflato ventre conputrescet femur eritque mulier in maledictionem et in exemplum omni populo
28 But if the woman is not defiled and if she is clean, then she must be free. She will be able to conceive children.
quod si polluta non fuerit erit innoxia et faciet liberos
29 This is the law of jealousy. It is the law for a woman who strays away from her husband and is defiled.
ista est lex zelotypiae si declinaverit mulier a viro suo et si polluta fuerit
30 It is the law for a man with a spirit of jealousy when he is jealous of his wife. He must bring the woman before Yahweh, and the priest must do to her everything that this law of jealousy describes.
maritusque zelotypiae spiritu concitatus adduxerit eam in conspectu Domini et fecerit ei sacerdos iuxta omnia quae scripta sunt
31 The man will be free from guilt for bringing his wife to the priest. The woman must bear any guilt she might have.”
maritus absque culpa erit et illa recipiet iniquitatem suam
