民数記 5
1 ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 イスラエルの子孫に命じて癩病人と流出ある者と死骸に汚されたる者とを盡く營の外に出さしめよ
Command the children of Israel, that they cast out of the camp every leper, and whosoever hath an issue of seed, or is defiled by the dead:
3 男女をわかたず汝等これを出して營の外に居しめ彼等をしてその營を汚さしむべからず我その諸營の中に住なり
Whether it be man or woman, cast ye them out of the camp, lest they defile it when I shall dwell with you.
4 イスラエルの子孫かく爲して之を營の外に出せりすなはちヱホバのモーセに告たまひし如くにイスラエルの子孫然なしぬ
And the children of Israel did so, and they cast them forth without the camp, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
5 ヱホバまたモーセに告て言たまはく
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
6 イスラエルの子孫に告よ男または女もし人の犯す罪を犯してヱホバに悖りその身罪ある者とならば
Say to the children of Israel: When a man or woman shall have committed any of all the sins that men are wont to commit, and by negligence shall have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and offended,
7 その犯せし罪を言あらはしその物の代價にその五分の一を加へてこれを己が罪を犯せる者に付してその償を爲べし
They shall confess their sin, and restore the principal itself, and the fifth part over and above, to him against whom they have sinned.
8 然ど若その罪の償を受べき親戚その人にあらざる時はその罪の償をヱホバになして之を祭司に歸せしむべしまた彼のために用ひて贖をなすところの贖罪の牡羊も祭司に歸す
But if there be no one to receive it, they shall give it to the Lord, and it shall be the priest’s, besides the ram that is offered for expiation, to be an atoning sacrifice.
9 イスラエルの子孫の擧祭となして祭司に携へ來る所の聖物は皆祭司に歸す
All the firstfruits also, which the children of Israel offer, belong to the priest:
10 諸の人の聖別て献る物は祭司に歸し凡て人の祭司に付す物は祭司に歸するなり
And whatsoever is offered into the sanctuary by every one, and is delivered into the hands of the priest, it shall be his.
11 ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
12 イスラエルの子孫に告てこれに言へ人の妻道ならぬ事を爲てその夫に罪を犯すあり
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man whose wife shall have gone astray, and contemning her husband,
13 人かれと交合したるにその事夫の目にかくれて露顯ず彼その身を汚したれどこれが證人となる者なく彼またその時に執へられもせざるあり
Shall have slept with another man, and her husband cannot discover it, but the adultery is secret, and cannot be proved by witnesses, because she was not found in the adultery:
14 すなはち妻その身を汚したる事ありて夫猜疑の心を起してその妻を疑ふことあり又は妻その身を汚したる事なきに夫猜疑の心を起してその妻を疑ふことある時は
If the spirit of jealousy stir up the husband against his wife, who either is defiled, or is charged with false suspicion,
15 夫その妻を祭司の許に携へきたり大麥の粉一エパの十分の一をこれがために禮物として持きたるべしその上に油を灌べからずまた乳香を加ふべからず是は猜疑の禮物記念の禮物にして罪を誌えしむる者なればなり
He shall bring her to the priest, and shall offer an oblation for her, the tenth part of a measure of barley meal: he shall not pour oil thereon, nor put frankincense upon it: because it is a sacrifice of jealousy, and an oblation searching out adultery.
16 祭司はまたその婦人を近く進ませてヱホバの前に立しめ
The priest therefore shall offer it, and set it before the Lord.
17 瓦の器に聖水を入れ幕屋の下の地の土を取てその水に放ち
And he shall take holy water in an earthen vessel, and he shall cast a little earth of the pavement of the tabernacle into it.
18 其婦人をヱホバの前に立せ婦人にその頭を露さしめて記念の禮物すなはち猜疑の禮物をその手に持すべし而して祭司は詛を來らするとこるの苦き水を手に執り
And when the woman shall stand before the Lord, he shall uncover her head, and shall, put on her hands the sacrifice of remembrance, and the oblation of jealousy: and he himself shall hold the most bitter waters, whereon he hath heaped curses with execration.
19 婦を誓せてこれに言べし人もし汝と寝たる事あらず汝また汝の夫を措て道ならぬ事を爲て汚穢に染しこと無ば詛を來する此苦水より害を受ること有ざれ
And he shall adjure her, and shall say: If another man hath not slept with thee, and if thou be not defiled by forsaking thy husband’s bed, these most bitter waters, on which I have heaped curses, shall not hurt thee.
20 然ど汝もし汝の夫を措き道ならぬ事を爲てその身を汚し汝の夫ならざる人と寝たる事あらば
But if thou hast gone aside from thy husband, and art defiled, and hast lain with another man:
21 (祭司その婦人をして詛を來らする誓をなさしめて祭司その婦人に言べし)ヱホバ汝の腿を痩しめ汝の腹を脹れしめ汝をして汝の民の指て詛ふ者指て誓ふ者とならしめたまへ
These curses shall light upon thee: The Lord make thee a curse, and an example for all among his people: may he make thy thigh to rot, and may thy belly swell and burst asunder.
22 また詛を來らするこの水汝の腸にいりて汝の腹を脹れさせ汝の腿を痩させんとその時婦人はアーメン、アーメンと言べし
Let the cursed waters enter into thy belly, and may thy womb swell and thy thigh rot. And the woman shall answer, Amen, amen.
23 而して祭司この詛を書に筆記しその苦水にて之を洗おとし
And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and shall wash them out with the most bitter waters, upon which he hath heaped the curses,
24 婦人をしてその詛を來らする水を飮しむべしその詛を來らする水かれの中にいりて苦ならん
And he shall give them her to drink. And when she hath drunk them up,
25 祭司まづその婦人の手より猜疑の禮物を取りその禮物をヱホバの前に搖てこれを壇に持來り
The priest shall take from her hand the sacrifice of jealousy, and shall elevate it before the Lord, and shall put it upon the altar: yet so as first,
26 而して祭司其禮物の中より記念の分一握をとりて之を壇の上に焚き然る後婦人にその水を飮しむべし
To take a handful of the sacrifice of that which is offered, and burn it upon the altar: and so give the most bitter waters to the woman to drink.
27 その水を之に飮しめたる時はもしかれその身を汚し夫に罪を犯したる事あるに於てはその詛を來らする水かれの中に入て苦くなりその腹脹れその腿痩て自己はその民の指て詛ふ者とならん
And when she hath drunk them, if she be defiled, and having despised her husband be guilty of adultery, the malediction shall go through her, and her belly swelling, her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse, and an example to all the people.
28 然ど彼もしその身を汚しし事あらずして潔からば害を受ずして能く子を生ん
But if she be not defiled, she shall not be hurt, and shall bear children.
29 是すなはち猜疑の律法なり妻たる者その夫を措き道ならぬ事を爲て身を汚しし時
This is the law of jealousy. If a woman hath gone aside from her husband, and be defiled,
30 また夫たる者猜疑の心を起してその妻を疑ふ時はその婦人をヱホバの前におきて祭司その律法のごとく之に行ふべきなり
And the husband stirred up by the spirit of jealousy bring her before the Lord, and the priest do to her according to all things that are here written:
31 斯せば夫は罪なく妻はその罪を任ん
The husband shall be blameless, and she shall bear her iniquity.
