< Numbers 5 >

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whoever is defiled by the dead:
"Command the children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, and everyone who has an issue, and whoever is unclean by the dead.
3 Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst of which I dwell.
Both you shall put male and female outside of the camp; that they not defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell."
4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the LORD spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.
The children of Israel did so, and put them out outside of the camp; as Jehovah spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.
5 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
6 Speak to the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person shall be guilty;
"Speak to the children of Israel: When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Jehovah, and that soul is guilty;
7 Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal of it, and add to it the fifth [part] of it, and give [it] to [him] against whom he hath trespassed.
then he shall confess his sin which he has done, and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, and add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty.
8 But if the man shall have no kinsman to recompense the trespass to, let the trespass be recompensed to the LORD, [even] to the priest; besides the ram of the atonement, by which an atonement shall be made for him.
But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to Jehovah shall be the priest's; besides the ram of the atonement, by which atonement shall be made for him.
9 And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his.
Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.
10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatever any man giveth to the priest, it shall be his.
Every man's holy things shall be his: whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his."
11 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
12 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man's wife shall go astray, and commit a trespass against him,
"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: If any man's wife goes astray, and is unfaithful to him,
13 And a man shall lie with her carnally, and it shall be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and [there be] no witness against her, neither she be taken [with the manner];
and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and is kept close, and she is defiled, and there is no witness against her, and she isn't taken in the act;
14 And the spirit of jealousy shall come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy shall come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
and the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she is defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she isn't defiled:
15 Then shall the man bring his wife to the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth [part] of an ephah of barley-meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense upon it; for it [is] an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal. He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to memory.
16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD:
The priest shall bring her near, and set her before Jehovah;
17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put [it] into the water:
and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water.
18 And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which [is] the jealousy-offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:
The priest shall set the woman before Jehovah, and let the hair of the woman's head go loose, and put the meal offering of memorial in her hands, which is the meal offering of jealousy. The priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that brings a curse.
19 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say to the woman, If no man hath lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness [with another] instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:
The priest shall cause her to swear, and shall tell the woman, 'If no man has lain with you, and if you haven't gone aside to uncleanness, being under your husband, be free from this water of bitterness that brings a curse.
20 But if thou hast gone aside [to another] instead of thy husband, and if thou art defiled, and some man hath lain with thee besides thy husband:
But if you have gone astray, being under your husband, and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your husband:'
21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say to the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to perish, and thy belly to swell;
then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, 'Jehovah make you a curse and an oath among your people, when Jehovah allows your thigh to fall away, and your body to swell;
22 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make [thy] belly to swell, and [thy] thigh to perish. And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
and this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels, and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away.' The woman shall say, 'Amen, Amen.'
23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot [them] out with the bitter water:
"The priest shall write these curses on a scroll, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness.
24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, [and become] bitter.
He shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.
25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy-offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar:
The priest shall take the meal offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the meal offering before Jehovah, and bring it to the altar.
26 And the priest shall take a handful of the offering, [even] the memorial of it, and burn [it] upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.
The priest shall take a handful of the meal offering, as its memorial, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water.
27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, [that], if she is defiled, and hath done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, [and become] bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall perish: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.
When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if she is defiled, and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away: and the woman will be a curse among her people.
28 And if the woman is not defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
If the woman isn't defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free and will conceive children.
29 This [is] the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth astray [to another] instead of her husband, and is defiled;
"This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goes astray, and is defiled;
30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he is jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.
or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before Jehovah, and the priest shall execute on her all this law.
31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.
The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity."
