レビ記 12

1 ヱホバまたモーセに告て曰たまはく

Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 イスラエルの子孫に告て言へ婦女もし種をやどして男子を生ば七日汚るべし即ちその月の穢の日數ほど汚るるなり

“Say to the Israelites, ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be unclean for seven days, as she is during the days of her menstruation.

3 また第八日に至らばその嬰の前の皮を割べし

And on the eighth day the flesh of the boy’s foreskin is to be circumcised.

4 その婦女は尚その成潔の血に三十三日を歴べしその成潔の日の滿るまでは聖物にさはるべからず聖所にいるべからず

The woman shall continue in purification from her bleeding for thirty-three days. She must not touch anything sacred or go into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are complete.

5 若女子を生ば二七日汚るべし月の穢におけるがごとしまたその成潔の血に六十六日を經べきなり

If, however, she gives birth to a daughter, the woman will be unclean for two weeks as she is during her menstruation. Then she must continue in purification from her bleeding for sixty-six days.

6 而してその男子あるひは女子につきての成潔の日滿なば燔祭の爲に當歳の羔羊を取り罪祭のために雛き鴿あるひは鳲鳩を取てこれを集會の幕屋の門に携へきたり祭司にいたるべし

When the days of her purification are complete, whether for a son or for a daughter, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering.

7 祭司は之をヱホバの前にささげてその婦女のために贖罪をなすべし然せばその出血の穢潔まるべし是すなはち男子または女子を生る婦女にかかはるところの例なり

And the priest will present them before the LORD and make atonement for her; and she shall be ceremonially cleansed from her flow of blood. This is the law for a woman giving birth, whether to a male or to a female.

8 その婦女もし羔羊にまで手の届かざる時は鳲鳩二羽か又は雛き鴿二羽を携へきたるべし是一は燔祭のため一は罪祭のためなり祭司これがために贖罪をなすべし然せば婦女は潔まるべし

But if she cannot afford a lamb, she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. Then the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’”
