< 民数記 5 >

1 主はまたモーセに言われた、
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 「イスラエルの人々に命じて、らい病人、流出のある者、死体にふれて汚れた者を、ことごとく宿営の外に出させなさい。
“Command the sons of Israel, and they send out of the camp every leper, and everyone with discharging, and everyone defiled by a body;
3 男でも女でも、あなたがたは彼らを宿営の外に出してそこにおらせ、彼らに宿営を汚させてはならない。わたしがその中に住んでいるからである」。
you send out from male even to female; you send them to the outside of the camp and they do not defile their camps in the midst of which I dwell.”
4 イスラエルの人々はそのようにして、彼らを宿営の外に出した。すなわち、主がモーセに言われたようにイスラエルの人々は行った。
And the sons of Israel do so, and they send them out to the outside of the camp; as YHWH has spoken to Moses so the sons of Israel have done.
5 主はまたモーセに言われた、
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
6 「イスラエルの人々に告げなさい、『男または女が、もし人の犯す罪をおかして、主に罪を得、その人がとがある者となる時は、
“Speak to the sons of Israel: Man or woman, when they do any of the sins of man, by committing a trespass against YHWH, and that person [is] guilty,
7 その犯した罪を告白し、その物の価にその五分の一を加えて、彼がとがを犯した相手方に渡し、そのとがをことごとく償わなければならない。
and they have confessed their sin which they have done, then he has restored his guilt in its principal, and is adding its fifth to it, and has given [it] to him in reference to whom he has been guilty.
8 しかし、もし、そのとがの償いを受け取るべき親族も、その人にない時は、主にそのとがの償いをして、これを祭司に帰せしめなければならない。なお、このほか、そのあがないをするために用いた贖罪の雄羊も、祭司に帰せしめなければならない。
And if the man has no redeemer to restore the guilt to, the guilt which is restored [is] to YHWH for the priest, apart from the ram of the atonements, whereby he makes atonement for him.
9 イスラエルの人々が、祭司のもとに携えて来るすべての聖なるささげ物は、みな祭司に帰せしめなければならない。
And every raised-offering of all the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they bring near to the priest, becomes his;
10 すべて人の聖なるささげ物は祭司に帰し、すべて人が祭司に与える物は祭司に帰するであろう』」。
and any man’s hallowed things become his; that which any man gives to the priest becomes his.”
11 主はまたモーセに言われた、
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
12 「イスラエルの人々に告げなさい、『もし人の妻たる者が、道ならぬ事をして、その夫に罪を犯し、
“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When any man’s wife turns aside, and has committed a trespass against him,
13 人が彼女と寝たのに、その事が夫の目に隠れて現れず、彼女はその身を汚したけれども、それに対する証人もなく、彼女もまたその時に捕えられなかった場合、
and a man has lain with her [with] the seed [from] intercourse, and it has been hid from the eyes of her husband, and concealed, and she has been defiled, and there is no witness against her, and she has not been caught,
14 すなわち、妻が身を汚したために、夫が疑いの心を起して妻を疑うことがあり、または妻が身を汚した事がないのに、夫が疑いの心を起して妻を疑うことがあれば、
and a spirit of jealousy has passed over him, and he has been jealous [for] his wife, and she has been defiled—or a spirit of jealousy has passed over him, and he has been jealous [for] his wife, and she has not been defiled—
15 夫は妻を祭司のもとに伴い、彼女のために大麦の粉一エパの十分の一を供え物として携えてこなければならない。ただし、その上に油を注いではならない。また乳香を加えてはならない。これは疑いの供え物、覚えの供え物であって罪を覚えさせるものだからである。
then the man has brought in his wife to the priest, and he has brought in her offering for her—a tenth of the ephah of barley meal; he does not pour oil on it, nor does he put frankincense on it, for it [is] a present of jealousy, a present of memorial, causing remembrance of iniquity.
16 祭司はその女を近く進ませ、主の前に立たせなければならない。
And the priest has brought her near, and has caused her to stand before YHWH,
17 祭司はまた土の器に聖なる水を入れ、幕屋のゆかのちりを取ってその水に入れ、
and the priest has taken holy water in an earthen vessel, and the priest takes of the dust which is on the floor of the Dwelling Place, and has put [it] into the water,
18 その女を主の前に立たせ、女にその髪の毛をほどかせ、覚えの供え物すなわち、疑いの供え物を、その手に持たせなければならない。そして祭司は、のろいの苦い水を手に取り、
and the priest has caused the woman to stand before YHWH, and has uncovered the woman’s head, and has given the present of the memorial into her hands (it [is] a present of jealousy), and the bitter waters which cause the curse are in the hand of the priest.
19 女に誓わせて、これに言わなければならない、「もし人があなたと寝たことがなく、またあなたが、夫のもとにあって、道ならぬ事をして汚れたことがなければ、のろいの苦い水も、あなたに害を与えないであろう。
And the priest has caused her to swear, and has said to the woman, If no man has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside [to] uncleanness under your husband, be free from these bitter waters which cause the curse;
20 しかし、あなたが、もし夫のもとにあって、道ならぬことをして身を汚し、あなたの夫でない人が、あなたと寝たことがあるならば、
and you, if you have turned aside under your husband, and if you have been defiled, and a man commits his intercourse with you besides your husband—
21 祭司はその女に、のろいの誓いをもって誓わせ、その女に言わなければならない。主はあなたのももをやせさせ、あなたの腹をふくれさせて、あなたを民のうちの、のろいとし、また、ののしりとされるように。
then the priest has caused the woman to swear with an oath of execration, and the priest has said to the woman—YHWH gives you for an execration and for a curse in the midst of your people, in YHWH’s giving your thigh to fall and your belly to swell,
22 また、のろいの水が、あなたの腹にはいってあなたの腹をふくれさせ、あなたのももをやせさせるように」。その時、女は「アァメン、アァメン」と言わなければならない。
and these waters which cause the curse have gone into your bowels to cause the belly to swell and the thigh to fall; and the woman has said, Amen, Amen.
23 祭司は、こののろいを書き物に書きしるし、それを苦い水に洗い落し、
And the priest has written these execrations in a scroll, and has blotted [them] out with the bitter waters,
24 女にそののろいの水を飲ませなければならない。そののろいの水は彼女のうちにはいって苦くなるであろう。
and has caused the woman to drink the bitter waters which cause the curse, and the waters which cause the curse have entered into her for bitter things.
25 そして祭司はその女の手から疑いの供え物を取り、その供え物を主の前に揺り動かして、それを祭壇に持ってこなければならない。
And the priest has taken the present of jealousy out of the hand of the woman, and has waved the present before YHWH, and has brought it near to the altar;
26 祭司はその供え物のうちから、覚えの分、一握りを取って、それを祭壇で焼き、その後、女にその水を飲ませなければならない。
and the priest has taken a handful of the present, its memorial, and has made incense on the altar, and afterward causes the woman to drink the water;
27 その水を女に飲ませる時、もしその女が身を汚し、夫に罪を犯した事があれば、そののろいの水は女のうちにはいって苦くなり、その腹はふくれ、ももはやせて、その女は民のうちののろいとなるであろう。
indeed, he has caused her to drink the water, and it has come to pass, if she has been defiled and commits a trespass against her husband, that the waters which cause the curse have gone into her for bitter things, and her belly has swelled, and her thigh has fallen, and the woman has become an execration in the midst of her people.
28 しかし、もし女が身を汚した事がなく、清いならば、害を受けないで、子を産むことができるであろう。
And if the woman has not been defiled, and is clean, then she has been acquitted, and has been sown [with] seed.
29 これは疑いのある時のおきてである。妻たる者が夫のもとにあって、道ならぬ事をして身を汚した時、
This [is] the law of jealousies when a wife turns aside under her husband and has been defiled,
30 または夫たる者が疑いの心を起して、妻を疑う時、彼はその女を主の前に立たせ、祭司はこのおきてを、ことごとく彼女に行わなければならない。
or when a spirit of jealousy passes over a man and he has been jealous of his wife, then he has caused the woman to stand before YHWH, and the priest has done to her all this law,
31 こうするならば、夫は罪がなく、妻は罪を負うであろう』」。
and the man has been acquitted from iniquity, and that woman bears her iniquity.”
